Chapter 565: Building a Spaceship
"Ah? I only have some simple industries..."
005 said with a blushing face, as if at a loss: "I am stupid... things that are too difficult may not be processed..."
"Simple industry?"
Yu Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little anxious, but thinking of her character, perhaps such a thing could really happen.
He thought about it again and again, and said: "How about this, you send the specific level and industrial capacity, and we will refer to it."
At this point, he added: "After all, we have had successful cooperation before, and we don't want to change partners casually... I trust you more."
Holding a contradictory attitude, 005 thought about it again and again, but still couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.
With the end of this conversation, after obtaining a large amount of data, the enthusiasm of all scientists was also aroused.
The simple industry that 005 said is actually...according to the L6 standard! It is completely beyond Yu Yifeng's imagination.
Her body is a full thousand kilometers, which is completely the scale of a small planet. This body is much larger than "Ling". The theoretical industrial capacity has far exceeded the new human civilization.
"But her intelligence is not very high. All high-tech is instinctive. She doesn't like to learn. She can only rely on perfect element to improve her IQ. Can we..."
Various remarks about using perfect element to abduct her began to boil again.
"No... She will serve here for more than ten thousand years. It is impossible to abduct her..." A scientist said regretfully: "Ten thousand years later, when we have enough strength and the ability to communicate on an equal footing, we will consider this issue again."
After a rigorous argument, the new human government decided to let 005 carry out this project, and establish a better relationship by the way.
After all, building a hull is not a difficult thing. The ability to copy materials alone should be enough.
In this way, a few days later, full of hope, the diplomatic team and the person in charge of Hicks Market started the second round of talks...
In a blink of an eye, three months passed quickly.
"This batch of robots should work faster!"
"New parts for area B3 will arrive soon. Let's check the qualified rate of the parts first."
"...Yes, we need to assign more welding robots!"
Engineer Zhang Kai shouted loudly into the communicator, his face flushed. He was the general manager of the third industrial group.
"Have the modified drawings for area C4 come out? Without the design drawings, how can others produce?! We have to work overtime today to get it out for me!"
But in this shouting, everyone was full of energy and vitality.
Because the construction speed... is too fast!
In just three months, the new mothership "Future" has a preliminary framework, including various keel structures!
Even the new humans themselves are a little surprised at the construction speed.
"Only three months..." Zhang Kai muttered to himself. Such a huge spacecraft is equivalent to the area of a Shanghai municipality in the past, and the height is a total of 16 layers, which is several times the height of Mount Everest. This huge amount of engineering is no longer something that the earthlings of the past could imagine.
The huge magnetic construction system is lined up one after another, and the gravity-free area is replaced by electromagnetic force, which is indeed more suitable for the development of super heavy industry.
Building a new generation of motherships is an exciting thing, and all engineers are full of energy. According to the predetermined plan, people have to complete the new mothership completely within two years.
This speed is simply too fast. According to the previous productivity, which time does not take decades to build?
"The main reason is that the senior government officials and the managers of the Hicks market have reached some agreements." Several engineers stood together and discussed a few words.
Zhang Kai didn't know what the specific agreement was. Anyway, a large number of parts will be continuously transported to this hidden interstellar port, and then these engineers will only be responsible for assembly.
Assembly is of course hundreds of times faster than self-production. Coupled with the new construction robots, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger.
Because of this time, a large number of parts from unknown sources led to all kinds of gossip flying around: including "Dr. Rimbaud of the diplomatic team sold his body"; "Yu Yifeng is the last survivor of the marginal civilization and was taken care of by 005", etc., all kinds of messes.
When Yu Yifeng heard these strange news, he almost vomited blood.
Well, these gossips are also a kind of fun in the era of big construction, and he doesn't have the time to care about them. Anyway, it will die down after a while.
"Hurry up, don't talk nonsense there. Let's complete all the work in the B3 area today, and work overtime for a few hours, okay? Tomorrow is a holiday, and I'll treat you to dinner in the evening!" Zhang Kai stopped people's random discussions and said loudly.
After this sentence was shouted out, more than a dozen middle-level leaders below laughed softly.
Building your own mothership always has an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.
Even if you work overtime, it seems that you are not tired.
And such a large construction project seems to have not been carried out for a long time, and it always brings greater passion.
"Brother Kai, since you're treating us, you have to drink old wine. I have to get you drunk!" a burly man laughed.
"Who's afraid of whom?" Zhang Kai patted his chest and said with a smile.
In this extremely wealthy era, most daily necessities are free of charge, and "treating" is just a ceremony to represent friendship... Of course, the new government still pays wages, which is the currency of new humans. However, because material resources are free, these "wages" are symbolic things, and they are actually not very useful. They just give people a kind of psychological comfort.
As the general manager of the third industrial group, Zhang Kai led sixteen working groups with a total of nearly three thousand engineers. The entire construction project implemented an eight-hour work day and three-shift system.
They received up to two million tons of parts and materials a day!
These are all finished products, all of which are high-end nanomaterials.
And there are a total of twenty-seven such industrial groups!
Zhang Kai was secretly shocked by this powerful industrial capacity. At this speed, the entire spacecraft shell will be completed in less than a year, no, nine months... How can it take two years?
At the same time, the industrial factories inside Noah are working overtime to produce various cutting-edge supporting equipment, such as engines, energy rooms, main control systems, life support systems, etc.
Due to various safety issues, these cutting-edge equipment cannot be entrusted to 005, and they need to be produced by themselves, and the consumption of material resources is also huge and unimaginable.
Fortunately, people have the Gaia creature "Ling", which can barely keep up with the external progress.
"The construction of this large spaceship is estimated to use up almost all the resource stocks. Ling's industrial capacity can actually be increased, but our water resources are still too little, which limits her development. So far, her body is still not as good as in the Dig 114 period. It would be great if there was water from a planet."
"In three months, we have received 6 billion tons of parts and materials, which is almost 40% of the total project volume, and the parts qualification rate is almost 100%. The progress of hull construction is much faster than expected."
"Next is the progress of the self-built part of the project, the completion rate of the large fusion reactor is 25%, the antimatter main gun..."
In the captain's room, Yu Yifeng is reviewing this data statistical file.
005 can't understand too complicated drawings, and there is no way to help the new humans build a hull directly, but it is not a big problem to disassemble it into simple parts and manufacture it in batches.
"That's good... dismantling it into parts and then reassembling it will actually be safer." Yu Yifeng held his chin and nodded. "I didn't expect her industrial capabilities to be so strong... The part we designed and built ourselves was actually slower. We have to work harder!"
