Chapter 669 Sea Area Construction - Devouring Ship
After reading the content, Feng Qi felt that among the ten plans, the one given by Ji He was the best.
The other nine people also performed very well.
All have given plans that are closer to Jihe.
One person even proposed an implementation idea similar to Ji He's on the issue of currency reform.
But Jihe gave two plans. He not only solved the problem of currency reform, but also mentioned the problems of wealth redistribution and population growth.
After reading through it, Feng Qi stood up and left the room.
The Star City Supreme Meeting was held the next day.
Every top decision-maker in Star City holds ten plans in their hands and is reviewing them.
After about half an hour, Feng Qi, who was standing on the main seat, stood up, glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice:
"Let the voting begin."
After hearing Feng Qi's words, the Star City decision-makers present picked up the flat-panel monitor in front of them and clicked to enter the voting interface.
On the interface are the ten people selected for this preselection, as well as their photos. Decision makers can vote for their favorite preselectors by clicking to confirm their vote.
After the voting ended, the tablet in Feng Qi's hand showed a comparison of the votes.
Seeing Ji He ranked first, Feng Qi was not surprised at all.
Ji He's excellence is seen by everyone.
But what surprised him was that Ji He alone received all the votes in the voting result.
There was no secret operation in this vote, but the other nine people also made a lot of contributions to the development of Star City, and some of them were even disciples of the current decision-maker.
But none of their teachers voted for their students, but unanimously voted for Ji He.
Raising his head, Feng Qi glanced at everyone present, and finally focused on Ji He. Then he put down the tablet in his hand and said:
"This voting is over, Ji He has been selected as the top decision-maker in Star City."
When Feng Qi announced the results, the audience burst into warm applause, including the nine losers who competed with Ji He, who also clapped and gave blessings.
In this modern society dominated by ability, those elderly people may regret their failure, but they understand that personal ability is far more important than age, and Ji He's future is limitless in their eyes.
When Ji He stepped onto the podium, Feng Qi personally awarded him a space bracelet and a Dawn Medal, which symbolizes the highest power of mankind.
Feng Qi then used his consciousness to connect to the Star City database and modified Ji He's identity permissions.
Ji He's original A-level authority was upgraded to the one where he can access all the contents of Star City's database, and has the authority to mobilize the military department and all Star City's research institutes to work together.
Finally, Ji He officially joined the Star City Supreme Council amidst applause.
A new star of the times is rising at this moment.
…
Daybreak 345 years.
A big event happened to the Silver Moon clan this year.
The Silver Moon clan, which originally could only rely on the human race to transport resources, officially started the construction of the Silver Moon supply area.
The specific location of the supply area is 50 kilometers east of the Silver Moon clan.
This is a milestone event for the Silver Moon Tribe, and it indicates that the Silver Moon Tribe will have its own channels for obtaining resources.
But everything is difficult at the beginning.
In order to ensure the smooth expansion of the Silver Moon Supply Zone, the Silver Moon Tribe invited the human war group to join the Silver Moon Supply Zone.
Feng Qi did not refuse this proposal.
The human race can no longer meet its growth needs solely through the resource channels in the Star City West Supply Zone, and needs to establish another supply zone.
It just so happens that the supply area of the Silver Moon Clan can be used for transition.
At the same time, the second clan leader of Silver Moon made it clear that as long as the resources obtained by the human war group in the supply area would not extract any profits, they would all be transported back to Star City through the orbit connecting to Star City.
This is also the main reason why Feng Qi is willing to agree to the request of the Silver Moon clan leader.
Although it is an alliance, the division of interests needs to be clear. He cannot let human soldiers risk their lives to work for the Silver Moon tribe for free.
As for the establishment of a new supply area, Feng Qi first thought of the North Supply Area.
However, this sacrifice line is still in the stage of rapid development of the human race. Using the human race as the main force to launch a war against the Split Sky God Clan will inevitably seriously affect the development speed of the human race. He will not consider starting a war against the Split Sky God Clan for the time being.
Currently, the west supply area of Star City is being expanded. The east side belongs to the Silver Moon Clan, and the north side is occupied by the Split Heaven Clan.
The only option left is to open the Star City South Supply Zone.
This is a development project that has never been seen in the previous timeline.
The reason why the southern supply area of Star City has never been opened is because to the south of Star City is an uncultivated forest, and behind it is the endless South China Sea.
Star City has never encountered domain forces attacking from the ocean direction.
If Star City wants to open up the southern supply area, it must build a huge navy.
This is an area that Star City Development has never touched before.
However, Feng Qi decided on this timeline, officially opened the southern supply area of Star City, and launched a resource plunder war against the territorial forces entrenched in the South China Sea.
He has already made detailed plans for the specific plan.
The first problem to be solved is not how to build the southern supply area, but how Star City soldiers should fight in the ocean, and what weapons and equipment should be equipped to adapt to naval battles.
Fengqi has considered these issues in detail.
The first thing he thought of was the maritime structures he had seen in the Black Sea Field during the Ascension to God Challenge Road. They could also be called special warships.
The maritime architecture is very unique. It is made of the body remains of ferocious beasts in the water attribute field as the main material, and has the function of devouring flesh and blood to grow.
It is said to be a building, but it is more like a puppet creature made of flesh and blood.
This type of offshore structure can also carry a large number of weapons and has extremely strong destructive power and endurance during naval battles.
(Tips for killing with one knife: related content is in Chapter 492, Journey to the Black Sea.)
If humans can create such special weapons, they will not be afraid of any challenges from life in the ocean realm.
In order to make the construction of the southern supply area of Star City go more smoothly, Feng Qi ordered the envoys in Destiny City to start collecting relevant information, and finally found several racial forces with the ability to build this kind of maritime buildings through middle traders.
Next, the pattern adopted by Fengqi was similar to that of the Jihe period.
When Ji Jihe was developing a spiritual beast growth system, since the human race did not have the corresponding technology, he needed to import finished products from Destiny City first, and then through research on the finished products, he could figure out a human spiritual beast cultivation and growth system.
The same goes for the choice of sealing chess.
The first thing he considered was to use the technology in Destiny City to build the first offshore building. Then he studied the finished product technology and gradually developed a human-made offshore building building system.
The following year.
Star City has connected with three ethnic groups with extremely strong forging skills, as well as two material suppliers.
After the forging plan was finalized, Feng Qi spent 80 million to purchase the remains of a batch of ocean beasts from two material merchants.
After handing over these wreckage to the three forging forces, Feng Qi began to wait for the finished product to appear.
After waiting for two months, the finished parts were sent back to Star City by the Destiny Merchant.
…
On this day, Feng Qi took a large number of staff from the Psionics Technology Department and took a special plane to the coast south of Star City.
There is no industrial pollution here, the nearby plants grow extremely lush, the white sandy beach collides with the undulating waves, making a "swishing" sound, and there are seabirds soaring in the sky with the wind.
After getting off the plane, Feng Qi began to wait.
A few minutes later, several transport planes arrived and docked at the beach.
After the plane door opened, soldiers wearing military uniforms quickly gathered and lined up on the coast. Then a middle-aged military man trotted up to Feng Qi, stood upright, saluted to Feng Qi and said:
"Lao Feng, all personnel are in place, please give instructions."
"Cooperate with the staff of the Psychic Research Institute to start assembling. Unload the goods first."
After hearing Feng Qi's instructions, the middle-aged man nodded solemnly, then returned to the lined-up military soldiers and began to direct the unloading.
Soon the beach was filled with all kinds of huge engineering parts glowing with aura.
The design drawings were in the hands of the staff of the Psychic Research Institute, and with the cooperation of the military, they began to assemble mankind's first offshore structure on the beach.
The assembly process was not fast. The parts made from the bones of vicious beasts were very heavy and required several warriors to work together to lift them.
As the sun sets, the transporter's lights turn on and assembly continues.
When the time came to the early morning of the next day, the sea was filled with thick fog, and the assembly of the offshore buildings was finally completed.
What appeared in front of Feng Qi's eyes was a behemoth.
It is 687 meters long and 487 meters wide. The bow is a huge and ferocious beast skeleton.
Feng Qi led Xiaoyou and followed the staff of the Psychic Research Institute onto the deck of the offshore building. The control system inside was a consciousness crystal, which could directly control all functions of the offshore building through docking consciousness.
At this moment, Feng Qi came to the consciousness crystal and pressed his right hand on the consciousness crystal.
Suddenly he found that his body seemed to be extended and connected to the huge offshore structure.
Under the influence of consciousness, the energy crystals embedded in the formation at the bottom of the building lit up one after another, and surging energy surged into the hull.
The energy of the huge offshore building is slowly approaching the sea.
During this period, staff from the Psionics Research Institute began to roam around offshore structures and record relevant data.
The building entered the water, set off waves, and continued to sail towards the end of the sea.
The data recorded by the staff of the Psychic Research Institute constantly appeared on the virtual panel in front of Feng Qi.
The displacement is 120,000 tons, the normal power supply speed is 58 knots, and the full power supply speed is 132 knots...
After traveling a certain distance on the sea, Feng Qi's thoughts flashed and the huge offshore structure slowly submerged into the water.
A transparent energy protective cover rises from the hull to block the intrusion of sea water.
Next, the offshore construction changed to the underwater sneak method.
Feng Qi looked up and saw a transparent white energy barrier blocking the sea water. Looking around, he could also see frightened sea fish swimming outside the energy barrier.
After the short test ended, Feng Qi controlled the offshore structure to surface.
Next, he decided to test the combat capabilities of the offshore structure.
Although the current offshore buildings are not yet equipped with various naval warfare weapons, the buildings themselves have some capabilities that can be used.
In a flash of thought, the bow of the offshore building glowed with light.
The huge ferocious beast's head slowly opened its mouth, and energy surged toward the mouth of the ferocious beast's head.
Roar!
Huge waves surged into the sky, and an energy beam cannon penetrated the sea surface and swept straight ahead. It disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, creating a tunnel in the sea that continued to spread to both sides, and the offshore buildings sank.
boom!
When photographed by the waves rolling up on both sides, the offshore buildings are like sitting on a spring bed, being lifted up high, and then heavily colliding with the sea surface.
But such an impact will not cause any damage to offshore structures.
At the same time, Feng Qi discovered that the building on the sea suddenly conveyed a feeling of longing, as if he was very eager for the energy fluctuations emanating from a certain substance in front of him.
This made Feng Qi very curious, and he immediately drove the offshore structure closer to the target direction.
When he arrived at his destination, Feng Qi didn't see any living things. He only saw large areas of diluted blood surging with the waves in the sea.
This was obviously left behind by the large marine creature that was killed when the offshore building released the energy beam cannon. The flesh and blood had long since dissipated, leaving only a large amount of blood.
It is obviously this blood that the offshore structures want to swallow.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Qi's thoughts came to mind, and the offshore building released suction, pulling the blood on the sea surface towards the offshore building. After contacting the hull, the blood seeped into the inside of the offshore building, and the blood refining formation inside was activated, extracting the blood energy and flowing towards the hull.
Suddenly, the surface of the ship's hull briefly glowed with red light, which was fleeting.
Feng Qi, who was connected to the consciousness of maritime architecture, could clearly feel that after the hull absorbed the blood of marine creatures, the hull structure had undergone slight changes, and it seemed that the hull had become harder.
This is exactly the engulfing growth function of offshore buildings.
Marine buildings are essentially flesh-and-blood puppets pieced together from the remains of multiple ferocious beasts, capable of swallowing life blood to strengthen their bodies.
This is essentially an evolution.
It is conceivable that as more and more biological blood is swallowed up by offshore buildings in the future, the strength of the hull will become higher and higher, including sailing speed, energy operation efficiency, and other capabilities.
This is one of the reasons why Feng Qi is very interested in this special maritime combat tool.
It can follow the development of human civilization and grow together.
The intensity of future battlefields will become higher and higher, and the intensity of offshore structures will also grow with the killing, gradually adapting to future battlefields.
This is just one of the functions of offshore buildings.
After being destroyed, the offshore building cannot be repaired using external materials. The assembled offshore building has been completely integrated into one. If it is destroyed in the future, it can only recover itself by devouring flesh and blood.
Just like when humans are injured in battle, they need to replenish energy and nutrients to recover the injured body.
Drive the offshore structure and seal the chessboard to kill the marine life along the way, allowing the offshore structure to swallow a lot of blood.
Returning to the coast, Feng Qi learned through the test feedback from the staff of the Psionics Research Institute that the hull strength had been increased by 0.124% after the maritime structures devoured a large amount of flesh and blood during this voyage.
After the test was over, Feng Qi made a decision in his heart.
Officially started the research on the construction of offshore buildings, and at the same time invested manpower to start the construction project of the Star City South Supply Area.
The area where Star City is located will be called a barren land in the future, an area with relatively scarce resources. In Feng Qi's eyes, expansion to the sea is one of the only ways for the human race to grow.
Taking this timeline as the starting point, the human race's sea expansion officially began.
…
After returning to Star City, Feng Qi began to plan the construction project in the southern supply area of Star City. At the same time, he crossed out the names of the offshore buildings on the document and collectively called them: Devouring Ships.
Feng Qi named the human race's first offshore structure that docked at the coast, the Devouring Ship - Dragon Head.
Next, the staff of the Psionics Research Institute will conduct research on the "Dragon Head", analyze and acquire the manufacturing technology, and strive to build the first human race devourment warship as soon as possible.
But it is obviously unrealistic to master this technology in a short time.
This is an area that humans have never touched before.
The reason why offshore buildings need to be built with the remains of ferocious beasts is that in addition to obtaining the growth ability of ferocious beasts by devouring flesh and blood, the devouring warship composed of the remains of multiple ferocious beasts will have the abilities and characteristics of different water-attribute ferocious beasts.
For example, a ferocious beast made from the Ice Sea God-Tailed Fierce Beast can release the power of extreme cold and freeze an entire sea area in an instant.
Another example is that one of the main materials of the first Devouring Ship of the human race is the Ghost-headed Dragon, which can aggregate the energy of the ship's hull and spit out a polymerized energy beam cannon.
Different ferocious beast wreckage can give the Devouring Ship different sea combat talents.
The human race has never been exposed to the technology of extracting the abilities of the remains of ferocious beasts before they were alive. This time, they mainly relied on the help of the forging clan in Destiny City to complete the extraction of the abilities of the ferocious beasts.
But the human race also paid a heavy price for this. It cost a total of 130 million blood stones to create the dragon head.
The cost of purchasing materials is 80 million. This expenditure is unavoidable. Even if the human race masters the relevant manufacturing technology, the purchase of ferocious beast remains will have to be imported from Destiny City in the future.
After all, the remains of ferocious beasts are not technologies and cannot be obtained through learning.
Feng Qi's idea is very simple. The expense of special resources cannot be avoided, but the technology must be mastered by the human race themselves. In the future, building hundreds or thousands of devouring ships will save a huge expense, and only need to pay for materials.
The most important thing is that technology can bring to the next timeline and make the development of the next timeline faster.
Feng Qi lists the expansion and development of sea areas as a core project in the next centenary development plan.
After the construction of the South Star City Supply Area is completed, Star City will officially head towards the sea, striving to open up a channel to obtain sea resources as soon as possible.
At the same time, in order to better develop the Star City South Supply Zone, Feng Qi decided to open a large number of marine-related professional courses to cultivate future technical and combat talents.
…
Daybreak 349.
On this day, Feng Qi was in the office looking through the reports sent by various agencies in Star City.
Among the projects he focuses on are the technical analysis and preliminary construction testing of the Devouring Ship, as well as the construction progress of the southern supply area.
At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the table vibrated, and the ringtone dubbed by Xiaoyou suddenly rang:
"Hey, I'm Xiaoyou, are you the boss? I want to ask you to have barbecue, and I know you will definitely agree..."
Picking up the phone, the person calling was the person in charge of the Destiny Messenger Department.
Feng Qi answered the phone, and a gentle female voice rang in his ears:
"Lao Feng, according to the latest feedback from the envoys in Destiny City, they have found the traces of the Lord of Shadow City. What are your next instructions?"
After hearing these words, Feng Qi was silent for a while and then a smile appeared on his face.
After waiting for hundreds of years, he finally waited until this big fat fish showed up.
The development of Star City has accelerated recently, especially the construction of the southern supply area and the development and construction project of the Devouring Ship, which consumes huge resources.
Merely relying on the current customer orders for Equipment Black Hole can only alleviate, but cannot completely solve, the problem of Star City’s early development resources being scarce.
He has been waiting for this big fat fish, Lord of Shadow City, for a long time.
As long as it can eat this big fat fish, Star City will usher in golden development years that will last for hundreds of years.
