Bai Yi didn't lie.
He does have to attend a meeting tomorrow.
In fact, he is still in a distracted stage as of now.
Although his body was following Liu Shasha, his mind was already immersed in the vast amount of information on the Blackstone Network.
As the forefront of the galaxy's defense, there are multiple megastructures here at the same time.
In addition to the main body of the Blackstone Fortress, Bai Yi also found a sentry array that was half-built.
The Sentinel array is comprised of a massive deep-space antenna array. Once completed, the fully deployed antennas will have a surface area larger than that of the Earth.
These highly sensitive antennas have been calibrated in a direction so that they can theoretically pick up the sound of a microwave oven operating within 1,000 light years.
The accompanying noise filtering host and screening algorithm will efficiently analyze the received signals and filter out the noise mixed in during the long interstellar transmission.
These signals are then transferred to a department called the Dark Room, an intelligence analysis agency consisting of a central host and hundreds of intelligence officers.
These intelligence analysts are all pure-blooded Earthlings, and they have undergone professional training and physical transformation before joining the job.
When working, these people connect themselves to the local area network switch via a fiber optic cable inserted into the second spine.
The other end of the switch is connected to a wetware host immersed in coolant. The host's powerful computing power can provide strong support for deciphering various encrypted signals.
It can be said that under the dual combination of the Galactic Intelligence Agency and the Sentinel Array, there will be no secrets in the entire galaxy.
Whether it is radio, tachyons, or gravitational waves, any carrier means and encryption methods are ineffective. Even the top encryption method used by the military is only a matter of time before it is deciphered here.
Of course, all of the above will only happen after the sentinel array is built.
The current Sentinel array has only just completed the construction of the internal reactor, and the installation of the most important receiving antenna has not yet begun.
A dozen or so construction units clustered around a mast over 30km long, part of the main antenna support pole, and moved closer to the array.
Every time this happened, Bai Yi couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the Galactic Alliance.
When I was defending the Pass Galaxy, I only managed to build three or four hundred construction units after a lot of effort.
Now, the construction quota occupied by just the sentry array has exceeded the total amount.
In the local network of Upper Black Stone Fortress, the number of builders that can be found has exceeded seven digits. In addition, there are even more manned spacecraft sailing in this area.
Some of these manned spacecraft are industrial spacecraft responsible for engineering construction and industrial ships responsible for transporting materials, but more are small shuttles.
After all, the Upper Blackstone Fortress stretches for tens of thousands of light years, and there are almost tens of billions of people busy in this area.
Unlike the surface of the planet where people can walk out, people who work and live in Blackstone Fortress must rely on special spacecraft to go out.
However, the price of private shuttles is very high, and the extremely low capacity obviously does not meet the travel needs of the general public.
Therefore, an interstellar bus came into being.
This interstellar bus is slightly different from the buses operated within the Galactic Alliance. After all, Blackstone Fortress is a restricted military zone, so it is impossible for ordinary bus companies to open routes there.
So it can only be done by the locals themselves.
This area lacks everything except industrial ships for transporting goods.
At the same time, the same industrial ship often needs to replace different cargo hold modules when handling cargo with different properties. Therefore, the cargo holds within the industrial sector are actually designed with standard parts that support quick disassembly. It was this modular design that inspired a designer named Clyde.
With Clyde's genius, a passenger module converted from a warehouse came into being.
Since they use the same standards as containers, industrial ships can easily carry these modules without the need for additional modifications.
At the same time, the huge volume of the industrial ship can accommodate more personnel at a time, especially when carrying some larger alien species that are difficult to accommodate on conventional spacecraft. The height of the industrial ship allows them to stand up straight easily inside.
Therefore, this completely windowless bus has eliminated 90% of the passenger vehicles on the market as soon as it came out.
Clyde, the designer of the passenger module, also made a fortune. However, he himself did not show much interest in the extra funds, after all, he was already too rich.
As the saying goes, money comes from the sky while you are in bed. His last work was the self-balancing scooter that is now all the rage in the galaxy.
To be honest, there is nothing innovative about that thing, and it was purely accidental that it became popular.
…
"Hey!"
Liu Shasha stretched out her hand and waved in front of Bai Yi, and the latter came back to his senses from his sleepwalking state.
"What are you thinking about?"
She grumbled in dissatisfaction and sipped the juice in the cup.
She bought the juice from a roadside shop. Although this was the main area of the Black Stone Fortress, there was still an entertainment area inside the pyramid.
The entertainment area is not large, with only four or five intersecting streets.
However, since there is only one such pyramid in the entire area, the rent for shops here has been driven up to a very high level.
Every capitalist is trying hard to open his own store here.
"What is this? Watermelon juice?"
Bai Yi looked at the red liquid in the cup and the sand-like fruit pulp hanging on the wall of the plastic cup. He really didn't expect to see real fruit juice here.
"yes."
Liu Shasha smiled sweetly. If you ask her which fruit she likes most, it must be watermelon.
There is no such thing as watermelon in Luofan.
The most common fruit there is a kind of fruit that needs to be peeled like a banana, but the flesh is very dry and has no taste.
If I have to make an analogy, it's like a dehydrated dragon fruit.
So when Liu Shasha ate watermelon for the first time in the review office on Europa, she fell deeply in love with this juicy, sweet and refreshing fruit.
Especially when the weather is hot, put it in the refrigerator to chill it, and then eat it with a spoon. It is so delicious.
“I like this way of eating, too.”
For the first time, Bai Yi expressed his approval of Liu Shasha's eating habits.
"But the store owner told me they're going to be out of watermelon juice soon."
Liu Shasha seemed a little lost.
"Why?"
"It seems like there was a nuclear leak at the hydroponic farm where the watermelons were grown. Many of the vines have been contaminated, and now the watermelons in the field have started talking."
