After the rain, the autumn air is crisp. Li Xiang swings his homemade high-density chopping knife, effortlessly cutting down a bamboo stalk as thick as a bowl's mouth.
Suddenly, an ordina...
Chapter 368: God's Skeleton Ship and Guanghan City Lord (Subscription Request, Monthly Ticket Request)
The Yunjing is actually already very large. When the project was first launched, some experts suggested taking small steps and building a smaller ship first. Once the test is successful, a larger one can be built.
But Jiang Caier felt that time was pressing and she had a little confidence, so she directly started the big one, which was more than 3,000 meters long. You should know that the Ford-class aircraft carrier in peacetime is only about 333 meters long and the deck is about 78 meters wide. The Yunjing is more than ten times the size of the Ford-class aircraft carrier.
Under normal circumstances, it is equipped with a crew of about 60,000 people, but if it is only temporarily used as a transport ship, it can transport up to 300,000 people at a time.
Now it seems, it is still too small.
The great migration of 20 million people involved nearly seventy round trips.
Although Li Xiang’s other-dimensional warehouse is large, it is unfortunately not suitable for storing living people.
Moreover, Guanghan City is still under construction and cannot accommodate 20 million people at once. Therefore, the migration to the moon must be done slowly, and it is planned to be completed in about a year. If the maintenance of Yunjing is included, it may take longer.
Considering that Jiang Caier disliked the small size of the first-generation aerospace mothership, and the second and third generations were not particularly large either, Li Xiang contributed the corpses of several god-level alien beasts.
The skeleton and shell of this kind of god-level beast are quite strong. They can carry out interstellar travel with their flesh bodies alone. Naturally, they are good materials for modifying space motherships. Moreover, the smallest one of them is more than 300 kilometers long. The Cloud Whale is just a tiny thing in front of it.
Jiang Caier was very excited: "If the modification is successful, the space inside such a monster mothership will be equivalent to several underground cities." From the Magic City to Jinling City, it is only two hundred and sixty to two hundred kilometers.
Such an alien beast mothership can carry tens of millions of people at a time.
They also thought that the divine beasts were so precious. If they were at the level of God King, or even the ones inside the sun, if they were all tamed and transformed into aerospace motherships, perhaps the entire population of the earth could be accommodated.
"At that time, we will form a huge star fleet and go on an expedition to find a new home!" Jiang Caier's eyes were bright and she was filled with endless ambitions.
Li Xiang was also quite emotional, but he smiled bitterly: "I am not yet at the Divine King level. I don't know how long it will take to build such a huge fleet. Besides, many people may not want to leave their homeland, Earth."
Jiang Caier nodded. She had thought about transforming the entire Earth into a warship, just like in The Wandering Earth, to see if she could sail out of the Black Mist Star Region and find a new home. But it was obvious that using an alien mothership would be easier.
"Who do you plan to choose as the mayor of Guanghan City?" Jiang Caier suddenly asked, remembering something.
She has now obtained the corpse of a divine beast, and has to put a lot of effort into transforming the aerospace mothership. Moreover, Earth cannot do without her. After all, City 03 is now her base camp, and her family, relatives and friends all live in this city. She has also spent a lot of effort in this city. When Li Xiang is not here, she will definitely stay here.
Li Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "Why not let Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui co-host it."
"It's up to you." Jiang Caier curled her lips. She was too lazy to care about this matter and went straight to design a new type of alien beast aerospace mothership. She was so impatient to see the finished product.
Modification is a huge project. Even with robots working day and night, it will probably take one to two years, or even longer.
Li Xiang went to Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui to tell them about this.
The two girls were naturally very excited.
Li Xiang was quite embarrassed because Yao Yao was in charge of the city alone, while the two of them had to serve as city lords together.
"There will be underground cities built on the moon in the future. You should manage a city together now and accumulate some experience. Then I will give each of you a city in the future." Li Xiang comforted them.
Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui looked at each other and smiled at the same time: "Brother, we don't mind."
"Brother, you think too much about us."
Li Xiang was relieved to see that the two girls really had no negative emotions: "During this period of time, you should arrange the handover work and wait for the dispatch to go to Guanghan City with the Yunjing."
Although Guanghan City has not been built yet, as the city lord, he naturally has to participate from the construction stage, so that he can have a better understanding of the entire city.
As for City No. 03, with Jiang Caier in charge and so many holy-level beasts on the surface, basically nothing will go wrong.
Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui went to get busy.
Zhao Xueqing's scientific research team has cultivated hundreds of high-yield crop seeds. The underground farm breeding work on the earth is basically on the right track, and she no longer needs to stay in the laboratory all the time.
She divided her agricultural scientists into three groups. One group remained in City 03 as the national and even global agricultural technology center and breeding center; one group was sent to Los Santos to help Yao Yao build an underground farm, and also established a scientific research sub-center and a breeding center in Los Santos; another group would be taken to the moon, which was also the most elite group, with about a thousand people, responsible for building underground farms on the moon.
Because the environment on the moon and on the earth is very different.
However, the soil on the moon is relatively poor and not very suitable for growing crops, so Zhao Xueqing asked Li Xiang for help to see if he could transport enough black soil over there. Li Xiang's other-dimensional warehouse is vast, and it is easy for him to go to Siberia, South America and other places to dig up black soil and bring it up.
As for subsequent fertilizers, fertilizer plants can be built on the moon, or human and alien animal feces can be collected and fermented for use.
In addition to being used as scientific research materials, the flesh and blood of exotic beasts, some of the excess and useless ones, can also be used as organic fertilizer in underground farms.
"Leave this matter to me." For Li Xiang now, it is naturally a trivial matter.
In addition, he helped build larger aerospace carrier research and development and production workshops on Earth, and also excavated a lot of soil, some of the better parts of which can also be taken to the moon.
The smallest of the corpses of the god-level alien beasts was more than 300 kilometers long. As the overall framework of the aerospace mothership, the workshop required was naturally extremely large.
After all, the surface is too cold and there are many dangers, so it is more convenient to build underground.
To drive such a huge alien beast hull and fly it into space, the engine alone is a huge challenge.
Li Xiang first gave only the smallest one, and the rest were temporarily stored in the different-dimensional warehouse. He and Jiang Caier discussed privately that after the "Guanghan City" was built and the technology of the first alien beast space mothership was mature, the rest of the motherships could be directly rebuilt on the moon. Because the moon has a small gravity, it is easier to take off on the moon.
Lei Xiaohui had been in charge of the defense of City No. 03. At this time, she couldn't find a suitable successor for the time being, but Jiang Caier told her not to worry because Jiang Caier would take over personally.
For Jiang Caier, who has a super brain and quantum computer capabilities, this is not a difficult task. She can handle hundreds of millions of tasks at the same time. Inspired by Yao Yao's clone technique, she has also differentiated many digital lives, existing as virtual images wearing different uniforms and attending various occasions.
Such a virtual image is even more awe-inspiring because it is obvious that she is a villain boss. Many extraordinary people in the military are even more afraid of her.
Besides, Jiang Caier's prestige is higher than Lei Xiaohui's.
Regarding the black fog, Jiang Caier's research team has also taken many samples for research. There has been no research progress so far, but Jiang Caier always feels that the substance of black fog is rather mysterious. If it can be studied thoroughly, it may be of great help.
She suspected that this was dark matter, but it was different from the previous concept of dark matter and required a lot of experiments to confirm it.
About three days later, Jiang Caier sent someone to invite Li Xiang to a conference room in the No. 03 City Scientific Research Center to hold a meeting with the core members of the scientific research team to discuss the preliminary design of the Alien Beast Aerospace Mothership.
Jiang Caier will refer to everyone's opinions, make choices, and constantly modify and improve them to strive for excellence.
As the saying goes, "One person's shortcomings are as important as three people's plans." Although Jiang Caier has a super brain and is a scientific research genius, she still likes to brainstorm and listen to everyone's opinions, which sometimes really give her a lot of inspiration.
This was a super large conference room with more than a hundred people present. Most of them graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University and the National Defense University. Some senior experts even worked in military industry all their lives. Now in their seventies, they still have not retired and are fighting on the front line to plan for the future of mankind.
When these old experts saw the plan proposed by Jiang Caier, they were stunned and trembling, because they saw the future of mankind. With such a super battleship, the stars and the sea are not out of reach.
If the Yunjing is the first generation, the second and third generations are still under development. But if Jiang Caier's alien mothership can succeed, it will directly jump to at least the tenth generation! How can these old experts not be excited? In the past peacetime, these only existed in science fiction movies. Now, they are about to become reality. If you think like this, the advent of the end of the world may not be the end of the world, but the beginning of a new era! It can only be said that danger is accompanied by opportunities.
Jiang Caier presided over the meeting, an assistant gave a lecture, and Li Xiang also listened attentively.
The general plan is as follows: In terms of hull structure design, it is divided into two major parts, one is the use of biomaterials, and the other is hull strengthening technology.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Utilization of biological materials: When transforming the body of a god-level alien beast into an aerospace mothership, it is natural to retain its skeleton and shell as the main frame. The natural hardness of the body of this space beast can resist space radiation and meteorite impacts, eliminating the huge project of building the hull.
The internal chambers of the alien beasts were hollowed out and transformed into energy cabins, ecological circulation areas and storage spaces, and some biologically active tissues were retained to enhance the structural self-repair capabilities.
As for strengthening, it is a combination of existing scientific and technological advances and extraordinary research progress. For example, the shells of alien beasts are covered with nano-scale alloy plating to improve pressure resistance and energy conduction efficiency; bioengineered synthetic psychic matrices are implanted in key parts (such as engine array interfaces) to enhance compatibility with helium-3 engines.
The most important part of a space mothership is probably its engine.
For an alien aerospace mothership that is hundreds of kilometers long, it is necessary to develop an engine with greater thrust, which cannot be solved by a single, twin or triple engine. Jiang Caier plans to use an array of 6 engines, each of which is driven in series by 30 helium-3 controlled nuclear fusion reactors, with a total installed capacity of 180 units.
There is also a redundant design: each array operates independently, and when a single engine fails, the load can be distributed to other units in the same group through an intelligent control system to ensure stable thrust.
In terms of thrust optimization, the engine nozzle adopts a bionic design to simulate the energy release path of alien beasts and reduce energy dissipation. The natural energy veins in the corpses of alien beasts are used to assist propulsion and reduce helium-3 fuel consumption.
A helium-3 fuel storage tank is set up in the belly of the ship, and a single fill can meet the needs of inter-galactic navigation.
Equipped with a "psychic energy conversion module", it can convert the divine spiritual energy left in the corpses of alien beasts into backup energy.
In terms of intelligent control, Jiang Caier's digital life clone serves as the central AI, monitoring the engine array status in real time and dynamically adjusting the output power. The "Mind Image Judge" submodule is introduced to ensure the operator's loyalty and decision-making reliability.
The internal ecological zone uses the chest space of alien beasts to build modular living cabins, equipped with the "Underground Farm 2.0" technology developed by Zhao Xueqing's team to achieve food self-sufficiency. It integrates the "Psychic Matrix" technology of City 03 to provide a training environment for the extraordinary people on the ship.
In terms of defense and weapon systems, plasma shields and high-energy ion cannons are installed, and the main gun will be more powerful than that on the Yunjing, with a longer range and more powerful firepower. At the same time, it will be assisted by Xuanniao-3 carrier-based aircraft and the Transcendent Squadron to cooperate in combat.
…
After Li Xiang finished his work in City 03, he took some time to visit Chiba Xuexu and Irene. One was in Mount Fuji and the other was in France. They were originally very far apart, but with his current speed of 300 kilometers per second, he could reach them in less than half a minute. He is a master of time management.
Chiba Xuexu and the twin magatama are now at the third level of saints. They were originally only running a small base, but with the outbreak of the beast tide, they could not bear to see their fellow dungeons fall one by one, so they went out to rescue several times. Now they control three dungeons and have nearly 40 million people under their command.
Li Xiang took out three god-level weapons and distributed them to them.
"Godfather, we can't bear to leave you. We also want to go to the moon." Chaolu and Xiwu hugged Li Xiang's arms on the left and right and acted coquettishly.
"Master, please let me know if you need Xuexu's help." Chiba Xuexu was a little worried that as Li Xiang's strength and influence grew, the three of them, mother and daughter, would be marginalized.
Originally, she always wanted to have a child with Li Xiang, but Li Xiang never agreed.
The reason why she gathered several underground cities and accumulated her own power was that she didn't want to be so useless under Li Xiang in the future. Moreover, if she could have children with Li Xiang in the future, the children would also need a foundation to stand on.
During this period, Li Xiang often spied on the fights between the beasts in the dark universe deep in the earth. It was estimated that the outcome would not be decided so quickly. Even if it was decided, it would take at least ten years to become one with the will of the earth. There was still enough time left for Li Xiang.
About three weeks later, Li Xiang, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui and others, together with the third group of immigrants, arrived at the Moon's South Pole Base on the Yunjing.
This base is under vigorous construction. With the influx of population, more and more people are participating in labor and construction. The entire Guanghan City is like a super-large construction site, thriving with vitality.
On the surface of the moon, more than a thousand kilometers away from the base, in a ring-shaped belt, the 38th-level Dark Abyss Eclipse Star Dragon King is leading millions of Eclipse Moon Star Skeleton Beasts to guard Guanghan City.
Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui also brought some confidants with them. After entering Guanghan City, they quickly got into their roles and integrated into the construction of this city that would belong to them in the future.
I believe that after experiencing the position of city lord, they will be able to achieve greater improvement.
Li Xiang just stood aside and left everything to them. He then flashed into the dark space near the moon's core. The heart of the moon was still floating quietly in the void, with a faint divine light.
Li Xiang reached out and grabbed the Heart of the Moon in his palm again. Then he sat cross-legged and began to try to imprint his own spiritual will into it.
The 5 billion achievement points accumulated before were quickly consumed. About three months later, Li Xiang resonated with the Heart of the Moon, but it would take several more months to achieve complete unity.
But the resonance alone produced many strange changes. For example, he was in the dark universe, and he could easily perceive everything that was happening on the moon without using any magical powers, such as the Nine Nether Breaking Delusion Eyes and the ability to perceive the earth veins.
The Heart of the Moon is a ball of mysterious spiritual energy that may not have been around for very long. Li Xiang speculates that if it is given enough time, such as billions of years, it may be able to develop consciousness on its own and become a unique spiritual life form.
In fact, there are such life forms in the universe, but they are quite rare. Most of the "planetary authority" was forcibly seized by people before their own consciousness was born.
