After confirming that they wanted to land the Ark on Io, Hao Ren and Lawrence discussed the details of the process. Finally, they decided to open the dome of the Ark after landing. This is the deformation function of the spacecraft itself. When the dome is opened, the dome is closed.
The oval refuge city will expand into a flat continent, and only under this condition can the life support system of the ship city and a set of main power furnaces at the end of the spacecraft be truly and completely shut down and overhauled.
These spacecrafts were barely repaired in the previous "patchwork repairs". Because they could not be shut down, the replaced components accumulated unimaginable hidden dangers and problems. In fact, the Ark of the Throne frequently suffered from gravity imbalance and other malfunctions.
It is this kind of cumulative loss that is caused. Therefore, opening the Ark dome will be an indispensable part of the entire maintenance plan, and it is inevitable for the residents of the Ark city to see the real world outside.
However, the social impact of doing so on the entire Ark civilization will also be obvious:
The residents of the Ark will see the real horizon and the open sky. They will see their 'world' transforming into a flat continent, and this will be a huge shock to the world view. Hao Ren especially remembers the Erim Elves
What happened when they first arrived in their new home: A large number of elves suffered from sky phobia because they saw the boundless sky for the first time, including the knowledgeable magisters and technicians. The elves of Erem who still have knowledge
This is true for all, not to mention the residents of the Ark: they have faced a closed cabin of one hundred kilometers for generations, and even regard it as the entire world.
When Hao Ren and Lawrence were discussing these matters, Lily was busy finishing her manuscript, so she was startled when she heard that she was about to open the shell of the Ark. Husky was a bit naive, but she was not stupid, in terms of professional knowledge.
It is said that she is even the top in the team, a true dog-headed strategist, so she immediately questioned: "Will this cause large-scale social unrest? How should the people in the Ark recognize this phenomenon?!"
"I had already prepared for this day when you left, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon," Lawrence said slowly. "I slightly modified the story about the world and the 'Giant Turtle'
Legend describes the giant turtle as an artifact that can be opened, and the Sea of Erdos outside will eventually calm down. When the Sea of Erdos is calm, God will let the giant turtle open and let the world see it.
to His truly great creation. I also described as best I could the concepts of sky and earth...although the latter had little effect."
"Do you think such public opinion preparation is enough?" Lily looked at Lawrence suspiciously. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the old man's efforts, but she mainly didn't believe in the understanding of the residents of the Ark...
"Ignorance is an obstacle to social progress, but it is a good medicine for social stability." Lawrence sighed softly, "I should be glad that they are ignorant now, so they can easily explain all problems with myths and legends, even if the world is upside down, as long as
A god appears and tells them that this is normal, and society can continue to operate stably."
Hao Ren nodded: "Furthermore, Lawrence still maintains huge authority in Ark society. He is qualified to explain the changes that have occurred in the entire 'world', and if the 'world' really changes according to his description
, his authority can be further consolidated and last for hundreds of years. This is equivalent to laying a stable foundation for Ark society in the long run."
"Short-term chaos is inevitable. As long as the chaos is not serious enough to get out of control," Lawrence said, looking at Vivian and Lily, "So I still need you to help. If the goddess of ice and fire personally reveals
If the world is opened, people's panic will be minimized."
Before Vivian said anything, Lily jumped up happily: "I'll go, I'll go! This sounds so interesting!"
Hao Ren couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at the husky: It was the same situation last time. He jumped up and down like crazy when he heard there was a lot of fun. As a result, he immediately retreated to the back when the crowd got bigger. I guess this girl plans to do it again today...
However, Hao Ren didn't stop him. Anyway, let Lily go if she wanted to. It's rare that this husky can have some positive effect. He nodded slightly to Vivian and Lily: "Then you two go back to the Ark with Lawrence and calm down the situation.
Be bigger and prepare some large-scale light and shadow special effects in advance to make everyone in the Ark aware that big news is about to happen. Then Nolan will wait for your signal. Once the signal arrives, he will open the dome of the shelter."
Then he turned to Nolan: "Also, what's the situation with the transformation mechanism of the shelter itself?"
"The deformation mechanism is operating normally, and the gravity generator has been redistributed. During the process of opening the shell, I will use full manual remote control to ensure seamless switching between the gravity field in the spacecraft and Io's gravity field," Nolan nodded lightly, "
In addition, I have cut off the energy pipelines in all areas of the Throne's Ark except the shelter, and now all energy is diverted to the city inside the ship. It will definitely succeed."
Hao Ren hummed and looked at Vivian, Lily, and Lawrence: "Then you take action. Vivian, it's mainly up to you."
Vivian smiled: "Don't worry, I'm very experienced in this area. I watched those old monsters form a sect in the Age of Mythology."
The three people left the bridge and headed inside the Throne. At this moment, outside the ship, the strong winds and waves caused by the landing of the fleet had gradually weakened. This unnatural storm came and went faster, and the heavy rain almost stopped within ten minutes.
. Katrina stood next to the holographic projection showing the exterior scene and looked at the ocean of her home planet in ecstasy. She didn't know what she was thinking about, while Hao Ren and Nolan were lying in front of the console to study the next project plan of the Ark Fleet.
.
According to the plan, Hao Ren is going to repair all twelve giant ships. Considering that the lease period of the Krakens to the Ark Civilization is at least two hundred years, there is no need to rush to get these ships into the sky after repairing them. In these two centuries
During the long period of time, the twelve spaceships should be effectively used.
Through structural analysis of each Ark, Nolan has completely understood the working mechanism and life-support system structure of these relatively primitive spaceships, and reverse-engineered a set of blueprints. Hao Ren hopes to use these blueprints to make the project seamless.
Human-machine and autonomous machines have modified these giant ships to a certain extent, connected them into an island chain, and rebuilt the cities on each ship to restore the population and social mechanism of the Ark civilization. And there are twelve giant floating ships.
The city has also greatly enhanced the survivability of the Ark civilization, and the expanded scope of activities will also help the people in the spacecraft rebuild their world view.
A ring-shaped floating city cluster connected to each other by long solid alloy bridges, shaped like a wheel, gradually took shape on the planning map. Nolan pointed at the holographic sand table with his fingers, setting up a series of floating cities between the floating cities.
Each tower and floating port, while calculating, said: "They will live here for two hundred years, and then they may go directly to another ecological planet, so they must adapt to life on the planet, move outside the shelter, and collect resources from nature.
, independent survival without the supply of spaceships, these need to be established. According to the current ecological recovery speed of the Io ocean, in about a century, tens of thousands of people in this sea area will be able to rely on fishing to make a living. In addition, I am still in the Ark Information
Curry found technical information on coastal aquaculture and seawater cultivation, and these things can also be established."
Nolan raised his head as he spoke: "As long as you use it properly, it is not difficult to survive on an ocean planet, but it is difficult to accumulate mineral resources."
"You have quite a lot of knowledge in this area," Hao Ren looked at Nolan with a little surprise, "Do you still have these in the spaceship database?"
"Many of my thousands of years of 'dreams' were about survival in the apocalypse," Nolan smiled. "One of the dreams that impressed me the most was that on a planet that turned into a vast ocean, the surviving humans relied on huge aircraft carriers to survive in the city.
Civilization, and I was once the operator of such an aircraft carrier city. Although it is all a dream, the accumulated experience can also be applied in the real world."
Hao Ren was startled and expressed his admiration: "Awesome."
At this time, Katrina, who was not far away, suddenly called out: "Hao Ren, can you come here?"
Hao Ren walked over curiously: "What's wrong?"
Katrina pointed to a sea area far away from the fleet group, and saw that the sea area was glowing slightly green.
"Can I go over there and have a look?"
