"The situation is very serious and there is no room for optimism."
Fang Fan's face was full of seriousness when he spoke.
"The soluble cave is only so big. Although it has been enlarged through mining, it is still not enough.
Even if we want to increase the number of engineers, there is no way unless we move the floating city out.
But the original design was to blast the floating city out of the ground directly after it was built. Now there is no way to move it out.
Even though the floating city is just a city base now, there are still no people and no military souls who can lift or move the floating city."
"What about this?"
Fang Fan dragged the core of the floating city up, and a space passage appeared on it, revealing the small world inside. The professor was a little surprised when he saw it.
"Can you open the space channel to the size of the floating city?
The floating city is a standard nine-by-nine-city base, a nine-kilometer-long, 150-meter-high space passage, are you sure you can do it?"
When Fang Fan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Didn't I just say that? The small world is already under my control. I can drive as much as I want.
As long as the opened space channel is smaller than the small world, then there is no problem for me. Going long just means that the cost of maintaining its existence is different."
"Well, if you can do it, that would be the best choice.
I have long wanted to build the floating city in a small world. After all, it is safe, confidential, and spacious. The engineering teams responsible for the construction do not have to hide in dark underground caves every day.
Unfortunately, the construction of the floating city had already started before we learned about the small world, and until now it was impossible to teleport into it through the teleportation array.
But I didn’t expect that there would be a bright future, so don’t wait any longer, go over now and move the floating city into the small world so that the engineering teams who have been living underground for two years can come out and take a breather.”
"good."
Fang Fan didn't say anything, just nodded, drove away the dragon chariot, led the professor, and after his father got on board, he drove himself to the cave where the rough embryo of the floating city was located.
After going through layers of inspections along the cordon, the three of them entered the cave where the rough embryo of the floating city was located.
Work is still going on inside, with assembly lines running one after another, processing pieces of ore into qualified raw materials, and then transporting them to the construction site as bricks and stones, where the engineering team turns them into part of the floating city.
At this moment, the floating city can already be called a rough prototype. Looking from a distance, you can already see some of the appearance of the floating city.
At this time, several people came up to greet them, and when they saw Fang Fan and the three of them, they quickly saluted.
"My lord, Fang Gong, professor."
"Um."
Fang Fan nodded towards Lu Hai.
"Has anything unusual happened recently?"
"No, everything is normal, the floating city is being constructed step by step.
However, we conducted another floating experiment a few days ago and it was a perfect success, even better than the last time."
"Okay, okay, not bad."
Fang Fan praised repeatedly, then looked at Fang Yunqi and the professor.
"Dad, professor, let's go over and take a look?"
"Take a look? Is there anything interesting to see? I'll be here looking at it fifteen days a month."
The professor said casually, but even if he saw it every day, when he looked at the rough embryo of the floating city, there would still be a flash of shock, a hint of emotion, and some excitement in his eyes from time to time.
When I think about the fact that this behemoth built by my own hands can actually fly, even fly out of the earth, can become a space ship, and can become a spacecraft that can carry hundreds of thousands of people, millions, even tens of millions, or nearly billions of people.
He couldn't contain his excitement about the self-sufficient space station.
Because this is not to say that it is unprecedented, at least it is unprecedented.
This is a feat that even modern technology has not accomplished. Even if a modern space station is barely built, there will only be two-digit astronauts at most, which cannot be compared with a floating city.
Not to mention the defense and attack power of the floating city. Compared with the space station that can be exploded by space debris, the strength of the floating city alone is enough to shake a meteorite regardless of the formation.
Comparing the floating city with the space station is simply bullying. If you have to use one term to describe the floating city, the professor thinks it should be...
Planetary Fortress!
And participating in, or even presiding over, such a great project made the professor unable to calm down for a long time.
Even if he sees this floating city every day, the professor's passion for it has not disappeared or diminished in any way. On the contrary, it has become more and more mellow as time goes by.
While talking, the three of them climbed up the stairs to the foundation of the floating city. They did not need to be led by Lu Hai, and came directly to the core of the city foundation. There was a nine-by-nine, nine-meter-deep pool there, with a high platform in the center of the pool.
There are circular grooves on it.
“That’s where the core of the floating city is placed, which is one of the most important formations of the floating city.
And this pool is also one of the most complex and difficult functional buildings in the entire floating city. Even now, it has only barely achieved some basic functions and has not been fully completed."
"Then we need to put the core of the floating city in now?"
Fang Fan asked as he dragged the core of the floating city.
"No, please don't, it's not needed now. Once the core of the floating city is embedded, it will be locked to the floating city and integrated with the floating city.
At that point, it will be very cumbersome and difficult to take it out.”
The professor denied it, and then added an explanation.
"This is also a security measure. Once locked, it is impossible for others to take away the core of the floating city."
"And once the core is back in place, it will be impossible for the floating city to move into the small world unless it is taken out again."
Fang Yunqi also said aloud, Fang Fan nodded repeatedly and said nothing more.
"Let's get started. Can't you draw out the power of the world? Directly introduce the power of the world into that groove."
After the professor finished speaking to Fang Fan, he turned to look at Lu Hai.
"Lu Hai, prepare to start floating forward."
"Levitating forward?"
Lu Hai's face was filled with doubts.
"Professor, we just conducted a floating experiment a few days ago and exhausted our reserves of spiritual energy.
The current reserve of spiritual energy is still some distance away from carrying out floating experiments.
Moreover, we have only done floating experiments before, and there are only two directions, up and down, to move forward... We are not well prepared, and I am afraid that something will go wrong."
The professor didn't care about Lu Hai's question and continued to explain.
"Fang Fan will solve the energy problem, and I am very clear about the current situation in the floating city.
I also know the situation of the engineering team very well. We now have the hard conditions to carry out floating movements.
It has never been done before, and this is the first time. I, Fang Gong, and Fang Fan are here to watch, and it is already the best experimental environment."
Lu Hai glanced at Fang Fan first after hearing this. He obviously had some doubts about Fang Fan providing energy, but after thinking for a while, he still nodded.
