If you don’t look carefully, it may be difficult to find that the faint shadow in the center is Brother Dao. However, if you look from the side facing away from the sun, you can see a circular shadow. It is only a small one in the universe, but in reality
The diameter is over 30 kilometers!
At this moment, Brother Dao completely relaxed his body and turned into a circular sheet with a diameter of 30 kilometers and a thickness of only a few meters to maximize the absorption of the light, heat and terrifying radiation of the blue sun. Behind Brother Dao, an engineering ship was constantly moving.
Macromolecule-level particles are sprayed on the ground. These particles are crushed to the extreme to facilitate Brother Dao's absorption. Every once in a while, a transport ship will replenish the engineering ship with supplies. It can be seen from the data that the replenishment interval is changing
The demand is getting shorter and shorter, from once a day to once every 12 hours. This ship can replenish thousands of tons.
In Chu Jungui's eyes, Brother Dao's body was constantly changing. The side facing the sun was like the wind passing through the water, with ripples constantly rising. There were also fine white dust invisible to the naked eye flying around. Those were Brother Dao's dead body cells.
But the growth rate far exceeds the death rate.
The light and heat of the blue sun were absorbed layer by layer, and when it finally penetrated Brother Dao's body, it was absorbed by 15%. This is a quite astonishing number, because Brother Dao's current body density is lower than the air of Planet 4.
The density of parts of Brother Dao's body continued to increase rapidly, turning into a dense ball. Then the ball shattered, and an engineering beast shaped like a starfish would fly out from inside. The engineering beast would then fly to the direction like a swimming fish on its own.
Get into the engineering ship not far away, and a moment later drive the engineering ship to join the engineering army in the distance.
Chu Jungui connected to the Le Mans channel and asked: "Does the engineering beast have the ability to survive in space?"
Le Mans smiled bitterly: "Since Brother Dao was sent into space, the engineering beasts would die in large numbers at first, but soon they adapted to the space environment. Now their appearance is still the same as before, but their internal structure is completely different. Now they
They can survive in space for several months and can use jets to fly at high speeds. The most terrifying thing is that when they act independently, their IQs are as high as 120, and they have inherited the necessary knowledge from birth."
Chu Jungui frowned slightly. An IQ of 120 means that he has surpassed the average level of modern humans and has reached an excellent level. Modern people are different from the home star era. If modern people who have been genetically optimized return to the home star era, all of them will be geniuses.
Brother Dao's production speed of engineering beasts is not very fast, about 2 per minute, which can replenish 4800 engineering beasts every day.
According to Le Mans' explanation, this is the result of taking into account Brother Dao's growth, which is the best choice. Brother Dao's daily growth rate is 50%, and the output of the engineering beast increases by 30% accordingly. Rough calculation, Brother Dao every two days
The volume will double, and the output of the engineering beasts will double in three days. This is a quite terrifying number. If there is no limit, Brother Dao will soon become a huge creature with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, and the size is comparable to a small planet.
Millions of engineered beasts appear every day. For interplanetary civilization, this is a natural disaster from the universe.
Le Mans knew Chu Jungui's concern and said: "According to the latest model, Brother Dao's somatic cell number will reach the limit after increasing 150 times. At that time, the number of engineering beasts produced daily was 200,000. At the same time, there are engineering beasts."
The total number of the beast is 11 million.”
Chu Jungui remained silent and did not speak.
Le Mans hesitated and added: "Of course, this is just a theory. Although I have relaxed the assumptions as much as possible, errors may still occur."
Chu Jungui raised his eyebrows and said, "In other words, it is still possible for it to break through the limit?"
"Yes, this is just a theory after all."
Chu Jungui woke up the wise man and said: "Contact Brother Dao."
The wise man was silent for a moment and said: "It is in a deep dormant state. Everything operates according to preset instincts, and the active will only fluctuates very weakly. I tried to wake it up several times, but failed."
"Can't he wake up? Then let him sleep." Chu Jungui looked calm.
Le Mans asked: "Will Project Damocles still be implemented?"
Chu Jungui did not answer immediately, but stretched out his hand, and a design drawing of a starship appeared in front of him. This starship was a heavy patrol class, but the design was very weird. Many cabins and passages inside were inaccessible to humans.
But it would be perfect if it were replaced by an engineering beast. The living area used for living supplies on this heavy cruiser is incredibly small, without any leisure and entertainment areas, so the space is occupied by weapons, armor and power systems. This star ship
The ships are all controlled by engineering beasts!
After removing the expensive life support and escape systems, the combat capability of this starship reached the same level as that of the Dynasty and the Federation, but the construction period was only one-fifth and the cost was only one-eighth.
The question now is, once this starship is built, who will its guns be aimed at?
Chu Jungui pondered for a moment, pointed at a few key parts, and turned to ask the wise man: "You also have the ability to create engineering beasts. What if these core control positions are replaced by your sub-bodies?"
The wise man looked at it carefully and said: "The number of my sub-bodies is very limited. If they are all equipped, I can only equip 20 heavy cruisers at most. If I switch to battleships, there will only be 3."
This number is obviously not enough, but there is nothing we can do. Chu Jungui pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "Execute the plan!"
Chu Jungui had already made his decision, so Le Mans no longer worried about gains and losses, cut off communication and went straight to work.
Chu Jungui adjusted his perspective, and the shipyard appeared in his field of vision. The huge shipyard had taken shape, and only some small equipment had not yet been installed. The main structure of the new battleship in the center of the shipyard had begun to be built, and it was on the material platform next to the shipyard.
, 4 huge antimatter power furnaces are standing quietly, and next to them are more than 10 fusion power furnaces. In normal times, the power is supplied by cheap polybian furnaces, but in wartime, the antimatter power furnace will make this small city the main force.
The ship has plenty of power. The current daily work volume is one million tons, and it is still growing slowly. It will double in about one month, and double again in the next month.
This capital ship will be delivered to the military, and the design will be modified while it is being built. Although there are big problems with this, most of the people responsible for the construction are engineering beasts. Brother Dao's sub-body does not need to rest, is tireless, and does not
Mistakes will be made.
On another track, construction of two new shipyards has begun, also at the battleship level. These two new shipyards are Chu Jungui's ambition.
