"Based on the observatory's current detections, coupled with a series of calculations and analyses, we have tentatively set a safe limit, which is the 20 years described by the Antek civilization."
"Complete the warp engine within 20 years and leave here. Do you think there is any problem?" Yu Yifeng said solemnly, tapping his fingers on the table a few times.
"There may be."
Professor Ding Yidong frowned and was not embarrassed: "As long as it has anything to do with planetary spacecraft, the amount of work is very, very large. Technically, we will find a way to solve it as soon as possible, but in terms of engineering...the amount of work...
…”
"In terms of engineering, it is mainly for the engineering department to cooperate with it." Yu Yifeng said: "With a planet, the number of automated factories that can be laid on the surface will be greatly increased, and there will no longer be a need to succumb to the interior of Noah. In this way, the industrial
There should be a stage of significant improvement in capabilities.”
"If the population is not enough, we can only let the affiliated civilization do some simple control work."
"Let the engineering department discuss with you whether it can be completed on time. Let us do the mobilization ceremony for the long-term project..."
Dr. Rimbaud also laughed: "I have thought that we should be more cautious about the cultivation of subsidiary civilizations. We must not instill technology in a cram-like manner. If we get it easily, we will not cherish it, and ideological
If you can't get up, you may become a sinker like the Antek civilization. This is detrimental to our long-term development."
Several think tank members nearby were also thoughtful.
From this point of view, the Chiyanjiao people who were raised and raised by themselves seem to be more reliable. On the one hand, they also belong to the Homo erectus family and have almost the same aesthetics. On the other hand, they are completely brainwashed and are in a state of honor working for the new human civilization.
status.
Lizards seem to be more unreliable. They have more independent thoughts and are more likely to be lazy.
Well, at this stage, you don’t need to worry too much just yet, you just need to get some vaccinations.
"How to control subordinate civilization is indeed a matter of testing political wisdom."
Yu Yifeng clapped his hands and continued: "...Technology cannot be given casually. It should mainly focus on education and training to improve the overall quality of the population. Now they can't even build a basic spaceship.
."
The technology tree of an interstellar civilization is complex and vast. Although the new humans have a small population, they are of high quality. They currently combine the technologies of multiple civilizations and have developed on their own for so long. The technology tree and industrial system are still quite sound. Attachments
If civilization wants to learn some of these technologies, I don’t know how long it will take.
"In short, seizing the time to build a planetary curvature engine is the top priority. The sooner, the better, and the earlier, the better."
"Nothing's going on, let's get over to the meeting!"
Just like that, after the meeting, Yu Yifeng and others returned to the Future and began a series of ambitious plans. The first battle star of the new human race is just like treating the first love, and of course it must be perfect.
There are three main things to do next:
First, Professor Ding Yidong’s Wild Wolf Design Bureau and the Tesla Research Institute are responsible for the overall planning of the entire project.
"At least the simulation diagram of the planetary curvature engine must be produced first."
Although the gravity of this planet is much smaller than that of the Earth, the height of 100 kilometers is not 1 kilometer, which places huge demands on material science. People even use a certain amount of anti-gravity in this process
technology.
On this pyramid, tens of thousands of new human engineers are working together, with blue indicator lights flashing back and forth. There are also various transport robots shuttled back and forth between the various floors.
"It is estimated that 360 such pyramids will be built around the world. When launched together, they can form a super-large curvature bubble and drive the movement of the entire planet."
"At the same time, these pyramids are still very powerful firepower points and can install a large number of weapons."
Yu Yifeng looked at this report and secretly sighed, "What a generous move."
He has nothing to find fault with anymore.
The pyramid-shaped structure means higher load-bearing capacity. When encountering an emergency, many important parts, including long antennas, can be retracted underground for key protection.
Moreover, even if one-third of these pyramids are destroyed, the curvature engine can still be barely activated by relying on the remaining ones, which greatly improves the fault tolerance rate during war.
The maneuverable planetary spacecraft is no longer the living target it used to be, but a terrifying firepower point.
People once visited a large number of planetary spacecrafts in the Hicks trading market. Of course, the science and technology of the Hicks civilization is far beyond what new humans can match. Most of the structures of its battle stars are for "art" and to look good.
, not for performance!
However, in the Hicks Market, there are also a few planets that adopt such a pyramid structure. This shows that this structure does have a certain rationality.
In addition to the "planetary-level curvature engine", there is also a "planetary-level power engine plan" as a backup, that is, to install a serious ion power engine on the planet.
If you want to propel a planet with a mass of hundreds of billions of tons, the size of the engines is exaggerated and terrible, and they need to be distributed in thousands of different locations. However, the Antek civilization has already completed part of the work, which saves a lot for the new humans.
strength.
This kind of giant engine has an extremely huge amount of work, but its maneuverability is not very good. Every time it is started, a huge amount of working fluid is consumed. At the same time, the acceleration of the entire planet can reach 0.01 meters per square second, which is already
It's very, very good.
Therefore, because of this series of reasons, the new humans do not have the energy to continue to complete this huge but not very "practical" power engine for the time being.
The "Warp Engine Project" is still at the top of the list, with 360 towers. In theory, as long as 240 towers are built, the entire planet can be moved. However, the material consumed by 240 towers is definitely not covered.
Massive superconducting materials are the first choice. Anything less is not enough. There are also a variety of new materials, nanomaterials, anti-gravity equipment, etc.
"Relying on the current industrial capacity, it is still a little difficult to complete the entire project within twenty years." Yu Yifeng frowned slightly.
He also saw that the amount of work on this high tower was definitely not just an illusion. Even if the work was being carried out at full speed, it could be completed within six months, which was already very good.
But compared to the total project volume of 360 seats, or at least 240 seats, it is really slow.
People must think of more ways to increase production capacity again.
On the one hand, a large number of factories inside the Noah can be relocated to liberate all the production capabilities of the new humanity. The current level of automation is already very high, and programmed production does not require manpower. As big as the site is, the factory can
How big is the paving area?
On the other hand, these 240 towers can be built at the same time, and then the affiliated civilizations can come into use. Although a large number of Lizard Engineers or Red Flame Horn Engineers cannot be as good as the New Human Engineers, they can imitate and make some
If you work together, you can still do the job.
Of course, because it is backed by a metal planet, all material resources are produced and sold by ourselves, and there is no need to go to other planets to mine for the time being. This also greatly speeds up the speed.
That kind of busy era makes people really unable to stop. Day by day, Yu Yifeng goes back and forth between the Metal Planet and the Future, busy and dizzy.
There are many things going on, but the entire planet is changing every day.
This kind of progress that can be seen with the naked eye also brings people a huge sense of accomplishment.
Half a year passed in such a hurry...
On this day, a large number of people gathered in several ecological circles of the metal planet to visit the capping ceremony.
In half a year, with everyone's efforts, the first "pyramid"-like planetary curvature engine has been completely completed!
This one-hundred-kilometer-high tower stands quietly on the surface of the metal planet. Various colorful lights make it shine like a pearl.
The construction volume of this pyramid is equivalent to that of a large spaceship. And it is the first time it has been designed and produced.
Six million people were working at full capacity, almost in a frenzied working state, and it only took half a year to build it. It was simply an industrial miracle!
"This is the first planetary-level warp engine and is part of the entire large project. It has a complete energy source, engine, and defense system..."
"... During the construction process, we encountered some technical difficulties... The planet is so big, how did we overcome it? Later, we will invite the chief designer Professor Ding to explain to us...,"
"There are no technical problems with the tower at the back, and the overall speed will be accelerated a lot... We expect to complete the entire plan within twenty years." On TV, the female host was giving a focus on technology.
Interview.
It can be said that the completion of this tower will be of great help to the morale of the entire new human civilization and its affiliated civilizations.
This female host has long black hair, wears a professional short skirt, and has a dignified expression. She looks about 20 or 30 years old. Of course, as a new human being with a long lifespan, the actual age cannot be determined by appearance.
I’ve judged it. It’s impossible for a girl in her twenties or thirties to host here. She must still be studying in school!
The compulsory education for new humans has been extended to fifty years. Even geniuses cannot graduate in their twenties or thirties.
At this moment, a large number of high-level government officials, as well as some Red Flame Horn people and Lizards, were visiting this magnificent and beautiful tower.
Yu Yifeng also smiled, awarded certificates to several major engineers, and then gave some words of encouragement.
The entire necessary ceremony took half an hour in total.
Things like rituals are sometimes troublesome and feel like a waste of time, but they are necessary for the entire civilization.
The sense of ritual can remind people that this is not a pool of stagnant water, but something different from usual.
When we were on earth, there was no sense of ritual, which resulted in no difference between festivals. For example, if there were no fireworks or gambling during the New Year, what was the difference between it and ordinary festivals?
And this kind of serious awards ceremony is still held in front of the TV station. To outsiders, this kind of thing is boring, but for the award-winning members, there is still a kind of glory in it, which is earned by their hard work.
As a result, for new humans, money is no longer needed for stimulation. The only thing left is glory and a sense of accomplishment.
"Phew, it's finally over."
After finishing his speech of encouragement, he walked off the stage and stood outside, looking down at the entire planet.
A height of one hundred kilometers!
12 times that of Mount Everest!
In the Earth era, the altitude of low-orbit satellites was only 100-120km. In other words, the altitude it is at now is enough to reach the lowest satellite.
"You can pick the stars with your hands."
Standing at the top of the tower, you can clearly see the circular arc of the entire metallic planet. The universe is so vast and life is so small. In this place, you can feel all kinds of contradictory emotions.
Yes, it feels very strange. On the one hand, it is a little exciting, and on the other hand, it is a little negative. The new humans have been in the galaxy for so long, and they can barely transform a planet. What ambitions to conquer the universe and the galaxy?
, he has none at all.
If someone said that their civilization would conquer the entire universe in the future, Yu Yifeng would only laugh in his heart, "Haha."
"If I jump, I don't know how long it will take to fly 100 kilometers..."
"Experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa?"
"The iron and the feather will fall to the ground at the same time."
Just for a while, all kinds of random thoughts came out. But gradually, another feeling occupied my mind: that is pride!
"This is an industrial miracle created by new humanity. Such a miracle will have to be repeated 360 times, or even more!"
After the visit ceremony of the first curvature tower was completed, a grand mobilization ceremony was held.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Ding Yidong accepted an interview with reporters and introduced the plan in detail to all the people. This introduction attracted quite a few audiences, and everyone was very interested in scientific things.
Next, taking advantage of the rising mood, Yu Yifeng took the stage again. Very rarely, he announced a... "Fifteen-Year Project Plan" on TV!
"...Dear new human citizens, here, I want to announce an important news."
