Chapter 376, Black Box Factory
Eight months have passed since the Korojia incident broke out, and Gu Hang has never returned to the Angry Owl Star, let alone the Black Arrow Star.
He basically heard about the situations in these two worlds from reports from government officials.
Although Koroja has great potential and is a target for development, his base in mind is still on the Angry Owl Star.
He also has to take back the dozens of black boxes drawn in this wave of technology lottery.
The shipyard was also very important to him, so he had to go back and keep an eye on it personally.
Now, the situation in Koroja has generally stabilized, the reform is on the right track, and so many things have accumulated, it's time to go back.
Ten more academies were purchased in Koroja, most of which were placed in Mingyan City, and the other three were placed in three other hive cities that had already begun the initial stages of reform.
After doing this last thing, he boarded the ship back to the Angry Owl Star.
…
Wu Jiarong is already numb.
Although she knew that if the Governor specifically found her and wanted to go to the secret research institute, it was because he wanted to show her something big.
When the governor landed and returned to the Governor's Mansion in Fuxing City to handle official business for a few days and met with a group of officials from various places, and then prepared to inspect the Weixing City Industrial Center, and clearly informed her that he would come to the institute, she had already prepared herself mentally.
However, when she and Patel, the head of the industrial center, accompanied the Governor on an inspection for a day, the Governor came to her secret laboratory late that night.
A spare underground space had been cleared a long time ago, but after the Governor took a look around, he said:
"not enough."
What's not enough?
How many black boxes do you have?
Even if there are a hundred of them, this space can hold them all!
Of course, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only mutter in her heart, and then with a bitter face, she said to the Governor: "This is already the largest warehouse that can be used at present. The larger warehouse is still being excavated. If it doesn't work, we can only use a few small warehouses nearby and try to open it up..."
Gu Hang touched his chin and followed Wu Jiarong to see several other so-called small warehouses that had not yet been put into use.
He was a little disappointed.
None of them are enough.
However, he also knew that he couldn't blame Wu Jiarong for not doing her best.
This place is located in the suburbs surrounding Weixing City. On the surface, it is a research institute, but the most important main area is the underground part, where the black boxes of all the technological rewards redeemed by Gu Hang from the beginning to now are placed.
These black boxes are all in use, producing finished products and industrial lines, and are all working according to the needs of the alliance.
This means that the utilization rate of the entire space must be extremely high. Black boxes cannot be simply stacked up. Although they can work fully mobile inside, the feeding and unloading of materials require external design guidance and excellent assembly line design.
At the moment, although the number of black boxes that Gu Hang was going to take out was indeed not as many as a hundred, there were still about fifty of them - he had a total of thirty draws before, minus the less than five draws, the remaining technologies were basically finished products plus the mother machine, two black boxes.
However, although the number is not that exaggerated, the size of some black boxes is particularly large.
For example, the manufacturing technology of several starships.
The finished product and the mother machine, of course, is not a complete ship that can be directly pulled out by inputting materials. That is impossible.
It is mainly to produce some modular key components according to the design requirements - if you really want to produce all of them, that's fine, but for example, it is a bit too stupid to produce some armor plates in black boxes, and it is totally unnecessary.
Next, the black box should produce the key modular parts, or the mother machine should produce the production line of these modular parts, complete the production on the ground, and then send them into space; in space, the shipyard in the star port will build the hull according to the technical requirements, and then these key parts will be assembled into the ship in the shipyard.
But no matter what, even if it is just the modular output of core components, as long as it is used on a starship, it will not be small.
Although the underground space of the research institute has been made as large as possible, it has almost reached the ceiling when producing parts for travelers, let alone the much larger parts of starships.
It is normal that Wu Jiarong did not consider this in advance.
Moreover, as the number of black boxes deployed in the research institute increases and their scale becomes larger, this problem will become more serious in the future.
Not to mention the space problem, with such a large space, so many raw materials needed to be imported every day, and so many products output, keeping confidentiality will become increasingly difficult.
We have to think of another plan.
The first thought that came to Gu Hang’s mind was to build a special space city or star fortress in space to house these unspeakable secrets.
There are many advantages in space. There is no need to worry about someone accidentally entering, the defense can be strict enough, the space is definitely large enough, and even transportation will become more convenient than on the surface as the number of alliance starships increases.
But he quickly rejected the idea himself.
It's too eye-catching.
Conventional confidentiality is easy to maintain, as star fortresses can be designed to be very difficult to infiltrate; but confidentiality can also become extremely difficult to maintain, especially when there are legitimate procedures and requirements to enter and inspect, then things will become very difficult.
Another point is that it is not safe to place it in space.
This insecurity refers to the fact that if the Alliance were to suffer a space attack, it would be difficult for it to provide support even if it wanted to, especially since the Alliance’s naval power is not strong enough at present.
While rejecting the idea of placing the new "black box factory" in space, Gu Hang also thought of a more ideal place.
Although there is a little risk, it is indeed the best option.
Moreover, he had actually been preparing for this for a long time.
Gu Hang patted the worried Wu Jiarong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it anymore. Just transfer all the personnel to the surface. I will handle the following matters myself."
Wu Jiarong was a little surprised.
But through long experience, she has learned not to ask questions that she shouldn't ask.
In the end, she just nodded obediently, and then, following the Governor's orders, began to transfer all personnel in the underground space, and all the black boxes temporarily stopped operating.
The vast majority of people active in the institute are robot servants who have undergone brain surgery, and their reactions after hearing the orders were very indifferent.
The very few researchers who are recruited into the institute have all undergone the most rigorous loyalty assessments and training. They will not reveal secrets and fully understand the importance of following orders.
After everyone left the underground space, Gu Hang could start his work.
His thoughts ascended into the subspace, into the Kingdom of Storm God.
Here, countless heroic spirits saluted Gu Hang in the sky.
He returned the greeting and headed for his destination.
It was a "factory" built in the Kingdom of Storm God.
It covers a vast area, but is currently just an empty shell.
A large number of heroes are working in it, continuing to expand the factory.
And this is the new place that Gu Hang prepared for his black box factory.
His psychic power rapidly unfolded from his heart, and a subspace rift appeared in the factory. At the same time, it also connected to the real world, the underground of the Alliance's secret research institute.
Immediately afterwards, everything in the underground space was swallowed up by this subspace rift.
Gu Hang smiled.
That should be it.
The black box factory that was "swallowed" by the Kingdom of Storm God was completely preserved as it was. Not only the black boxes were swallowed, but also the supporting facilities that Wu Jiarong had built around these black boxes over the years. The semi-automatic equipment for feeding and unloading materials was also intact and could be put back into use immediately as long as manpower was invested.
In terms of manpower, there is no longer a need to use robot servants.
The heroes in the Kingdom of Storm God are more useful than the servitors. They are the Alliance warriors who have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield in the past. Their loyalty is unquestionable; their existence is also completely dependent on Gu Hang's power.
Of course, the raw materials needed by the black box factory need to be transported from the real world; the things produced also need to be transported to the outside world.
But there is no need to worry too much about this, as Gu Hang already had an idea.
In the underground space of the secret research institute in the real world, the power of the Storm God Kingdom did not decline. Instead, with the power of Gu Hang, it further merged with this land.
Gu Hang processed this area of the real world into a superposition state of subspace and the real world.
Just like the situation in Fino City on Koroja, it is much easier for Gu Hang to do this on the Angry Owl Star than on Govaga. The Storm God Kingdom was originally born on this land, and on the Angry Owl Star, the reality veil is relatively thin, which provides an objective basis for more conveniently connecting the subspace and the real world.
More importantly, Gu Hang, the "evil god", is in the real world. Not only can he control the essence of the subspace and mobilize the power of the Kingdom of Storm God at will, he is also a human being and can exist stably in reality.
Using himself as the anchor point, the two places are connected, maximizing the convenience.
However, at this point, it is not completely finished.
The superposition of the subspace and the real world is not a stable state. If left alone, it will either disappear or expand rapidly and uncontrollably over time, neither of which meets Gu Hang's requirements.
He also needs to use his own strength to stabilize this place.
Gu Hang was busy for half a day on this.
…
Half a day later, Wu Jiarong got Gu Hang's permission and returned to the underground black box factory she built.
She came here with great expectations, believing that the Governor's actions would surely be extraordinary.
But when she first came in, at first glance, it seemed that nothing had changed. The entire layout was almost exactly the same as when she left.
She was a little disappointed, thinking that the Governor had some... huh?
wrong.
The space is wrong, it’s impossible for this place to be so big!
The underground space of the secret research institute only housed a few black boxes at first, but later, as demand continued to expand, multiple underground warehouses were developed. However, even the largest one built later was not as big as the one in front of us.
Almost all the black boxes are gathered together.
After a closer look, it was still wrong, and the quantity was also wrong.
Not only have the number of black boxes not decreased, but they have become much more!
Wu Jiarong couldn't help but look at the Governor.
Gu Hang smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry about the space problem. The space here is almost endless."
Wu Jiarong did not ask the Governor how he did it, she was just shocked by it.
She has realized that this is not a "technology" but a great power.
Then, she saw many "people" with blue light all over their bodies appearing here. They were neat and well-disciplined.
The leader seemed to be wearing the uniform of the Alliance and had the rank of colonel.
"Governor! The Heroic Spirit Legion-Production Team is now in place. Please give your instructions!"
Gu Hang returned the greeting and said, "Colonel Drake, this is Ms. Wu Jiarong, the head of the Alliance's secret research institute. She will be the leader of the production team. You need to cooperate with her to ensure that the Alliance's secret factory can be put into production smoothly."
Wu Jiarong hesitated, but under the encouraging gaze of the Governor, she stepped forward and shook hands with Colonel Drake.
A flash of thought flashed through her mind, and she seemed to have heard of Derek's name.
Isn't this the first commander of the 31st Airborne Division of the Alliance Army? Didn't he die on the battlefield of retaking the Far North Industrial City during the Unification War of Wrathful Owl Star?
How did he become a heroic spirit?
What about those other heroic spirits...
Wu Jiarong looked at Gu Hang again, and at this moment her expression was filled with shock.
The human warriors who died on the battlefield returned to the Golden Throne... This has always been the slogan of the state religion. Even in the Mechanicus, there is a similar saying that the destination of all things lies in the God of All Machines.
The heroic spirit who returned to the Golden Throne appeared beside Governor Gu?
this……
Wu Jiarong was completely stunned. She walked forward in a daze and shook hands with Colonel Drake cautiously.
I felt the real touch on my hands.
Gu Hang smiled and said, "I believe you will cooperate well in the future."
…
After taking Wu Jiarong to see the newly renovated underground space, Gu Hang asked Derek to continue his task.
The entire factory has started to operate under the control of the heroes.
The next mode is also relatively simple.
In the real world, special transport fleets with a high level of confidentiality will bring in raw materials and take away finished products, delivering them to various places in need in different categories.
The robot servants will be responsible for delivering the raw materials to the designated location in the underground space, and transporting the finished products from the designated location to the surface, waiting for the fleet to deliver them. This so-called designated location is already a subspace superposition state. But from now on, the robot servants will no longer see the black box factory with their own eyes.
Afterwards, the heroes will be responsible for using these materials, putting them on the semi-automated assembly line, sending them into the black box, and taking the black box products out of the assembly line and sending them to the designated location, waiting for the robot servants to transport them.
Gu Hang not only solved the problem of insufficient space in the black box factory, but also maximized confidentiality.
People without permission cannot enter the black box work area. This is not only a security level issue, but also an active identification of the subspace force. Without permission, the moment someone steps in, they will be punished by thunder.
Moreover, due to the distortion of time and space in the Kingdom of Storm God, there is more than one place in this superposition state.
