On the back of Higgs 3, or to be more precise, on the back of the "sun" star that Higgs 3 will never see, a huge artificial star that has almost been constructed is surrounded by countless Qing battleships and engineering spaceships.

The Alan Hill Empire has almost exhausted the whole country's efforts to build the super weapon Taiyi, and the main project has almost been completed.

This huge spaceship, or simply an artificial planet, is a super weapon that His Majesty Chris, the Emperor of the Irish Empire, has placed high hopes on.

Even though the entire project was built directly on a super huge metal meteorite, it is still a man-made project of a scale so large that it is unimaginable.

In order to ensure the strength of the main body of this project, in fact, the metal meteorite has not been modified in any way, it is only heated and melted, and used as a foundation.

Then, on the basis of this meteorite, start to extend the construction of supporting structures, and build the cabins in the star layer by layer.

In order to ensure the internal temperature so that it will not overheat due to its large size, the cooling system is even more exaggerated to the point of astonishment.

In fact, the equator of the entire artificial star, together with the South Pole and the North Pole, are actually huge grilles for the cooling system, with almost no ability to defend against attacks.

In fact, Taiyi did not consider the possibility of being attacked from the beginning of its design-if the enemy can attack it with weapons, then the Alan Hill Empire has already lost.

On the surface of this artificial star, there are 4 nuclear fusion reactors. These reactors designed on the surface of the planet are purely for generating electricity and powering cooling equipment.

Because of its huge size, the entire planet itself has gravity. However, it still designed a gravity simulation system to simulate gravity to almost the same level as Alan Sirius.

Of course, there is also a whole set of energy equipment, which uses magic to reduce weight and use magic to strengthen, so that the core supporting the entire planet will not collapse.

In short, this is a complex system, and the technology involved is even more complicated to make people collapse. It has become so complicated that even with powerful computer aids like Nu Wa, it still cannot achieve perfection in detail design.

And all of this is actually to support a system, a system named Taiyi. The name originally referred to only this system, but now it is used to refer to the entire artificial star!

The reason for building such a huge star is because building Taiyi directly on a planet cannot adapt to the structural strength, and at the same time it is easy to cause a series of problems.

After calculation, the difficulty of digging out an internal structure to accommodate Taiyi on a planet is actually comparable to directly building an artificial star.

And since Taiyi was built, it is required to be able to move at any time. If you dig directly on the planet, the cost of using space technology to transfer the planet is too great.

So after research, the Alan Hill Empire chose to build an artificial star instead of digging directly on a planet.

And Taiyi, which needs such a huge volume of support, is currently undergoing a full-scale structural strength test.

Because the core energy is too high, even so high that it can destroy any substance, the previous full-scale actual combat tests have actually failed.

An old man wearing glasses stood in front of a huge screen, looking at the structural diagram above, and the self-test data next to each other below.

"The airtight connection inspection is complete!" A staff member reported loudly after seeing that the connection points in a circle turned green.

Beside him, another staff member responsible for checking all connection lock structures also raised his arms: "The fixed interface connections are all normal."

"The charging device has reached a critical point..." In the distance, on another console, an engineer looked at the fully charged energy bar and said.

Farther away, Karl, who was wearing a magic robe, stared at the monitor and said to the chief engineer who presided over the experiment: "The guided energy output array simulated by one hundred and nineteen great magicians is ready!"

Although he is His Majesty's confidant and the person in charge of the safety of this project, but on a technical level, he obviously has to listen to the orders of the old man with glasses standing not far away.

There is no way to use more than a hundred magicians to imitate the energy output of Chris, the source of magic, as much as possible.

First of all, His Majesty the Emperor must not be allowed to participate in dangerous experiments in person, so he had to find an alternative.

It's a pity that Chris, who is the source of magic, has too much energy, so there is no way to replace it.

The Dragon Emperor was originally a good choice, but the Taiyi project was kept secret, and the Dragon Clan had not been notified during the technology research and development stage. In the end, it could only be reluctantly replaced with magic synchronization technology.

As a result, the magic synchronization technology also has limitations. Although the magic empire in the early years had such technology accumulation, it could only complete the experiment of dozens of magicians releasing magic simultaneously.

In the end, after the technical reinforcement of the Alan Hill Empire, the number of people barely reached the limit of 119. The number is neither an integer nor has any special meaning.

Because the fire alarm number of the Alan Hill Empire is 113, and the ordinary alarm number is 111, which is a little different from the Chinese civilization.

After preparing everything, the chief engineer who presided over the experiment walked to the data monitoring screen with his hands behind his back, and ordered: "Then... the strength test of the No. 5 suite begins!"

"Yes, sir! Three, two, one! The energy-supplying nuclear fusion reaction is activated!" The two officers turned the safety key at the same time and activated the entire Taiyi equipment.

"Electromagnetic restraint begins!" The staff on the other side turned on the power supply of the equipment and pushed the handle in front of it to the uppermost position.

In the invisible core of Taiyi, a huge current is wrapped around a super huge ring device, and huge energy collides crazily in the position of electromagnetic constraints, releasing unprecedented energy.

"Magic energy injection! The charging is seriously insufficient... There is no way, it is already at the maximum power!" In front of the control system, an engineer stared at the screen intently and shouted loudly.

"The temperature of suite 5 is rising..." Another engineer staring at the screen reported nervously.

"The core cooling magic has reached a critical value! The backup magic circle is activated!" A magician looked at the magic reaction monitor and shouted loudly.

The entire command center was a little chaotic, and from time to time, a female assistant holding the recorded data ran past nervously. Everyone is tense, and there is a feeling of anxiety that lives like a year.

Time passed by second by second, and finally, after a long silence that seemed to be as long as a century, a voice that made everyone frustrated: "The numerical abnormality... is out of control!"

"Duration?" the chief engineer standing in front of the monitoring screen with his hands behind his back asked calmly.

Everyone has already passed ten minutes, but less than ten seconds have just passed... To be exact, only seven seconds have passed.

Ever since, I only heard the timekeeper struggling to read the data on the equipment status data display screen: "Seven seconds! Eight seconds... collapsed!"

He raised his head and said to his teacher in a tearful voice, "The No. 5 kit is starting to melt!"

"The ice magic circle collapsed! It has exceeded the limit." On the other side, the magician also shook his head palely.

"It's over... Kit No. 5 is completely scrapped." Finally, an experimenter admitted the reality, lowered his head and said with a sigh.

"Duration?" The chief engineer wearing glasses remained calm and continued to ask.

The disciple standing beside him looked down at the tablet computer in his hand, and reported: "9 seconds 239... It lasted 0.141 seconds longer than the last experiment kit."

The old man nodded and said in a positive tone: "The progress is still obvious."

"Yeah, but it still doesn't seem to work." His apprentice still couldn't be optimistic, because every experiment like this meant that dozens of Invincible-class battleships were burned by them within ten seconds.

This is cutting-edge technology, and this is the cost of cutting-edge technology experiments. The speed of burning money that can make even the richest man in the world shudder, supports the strength of the Alan Hill Empire.

The old man's disciple looked at the old man and said with some difficulty: "According to the design standard, this part has to last for 10 seconds. This is already the lowest standard, because the energy it needs to withstand is actually much greater than the test value. "

"It's very close, isn't it..." The old man encouraged, "It's already very good, at least, we are getting close to this goal."

"It's always a little bit worse...it's a pity..." The disciple still said in pain. The price of the set of experimental components just now was exaggerated beyond imagination.

"It's nothing to be sorry about! Change into the No. 6 kit! Get ready to start!" The old man seemed to be used to burning billions of materials into ashes casually, and ordered indifferently: "Now, money is just a cloud, we What is needed is time!"

"Start the replacement system!" His disciple Qiang cheered up, pulled himself together, and ordered to the terrified staff.

"It's a bit exciting to think about it! Do you know how big this system is? We are hoisting a super huge mountain, and then replacing it with another equally huge mountain..." A space army standing on the sidelines observing the whole process The general lowered his voice and said to his colleagues around him.

For fear of disturbing the busy staff, his colleagues also cautiously lowered their voices and said, "It's all trivial. They just melted that super huge mountain in less than 10 seconds!"

"Well, what you said...it's true." The general nodded and turned his attention to the big screen again.

On that big screen, the huge mountain-like device is being pushed to the predetermined position by the thick device on the track.

The orbital space of the entire device can even allow an airplane to fly, but the final error of the entire system is no more than one millimeter! Countless robots are clearing the track, checking whether the accuracy of the movement of the device has been affected.

An engineer stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the huge passage, looked at the huge moving device in the distance, and said with emotion: "In order to increase the rate of fire of Taiyi, we designed this system of replacing parts. This is the world's largest Biggest transmission ever."

At the other end of his gaze, a huge device with a melted surface was being pushed into a replacement unloading track.

The engineer who supervised the replacement device briefly introduced to the students behind him: "Its bearings use the parts used for the star ring's rotation, and its transmission device is strengthened with similar parts on the colonial satellite."

He pointed to the No. 5 core that had been eliminated in the distance, and continued: "The most terrifying thing is that the components we produce to withstand the core energy can basically last for more than ten seconds when thrown into the sun...but it On our Taiyi, it can't even last ten seconds."

Another engineer walked in and handed a document to the colleague who had just brought the students: "If it didn't have such a large amount of energy, do you think Taiyi would become His Majesty's trump card? Sign it! The reloading time of No. 6 Experiment Core !"

"The miniature version of this thing is in the laboratory...but it's really..." Taking his own signature pen, the engineer signed his name and said with emotion.

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" the engineer who came to deliver the signed documents asked curiously.

"Yes, at that time, as the chief engineer's experimental assistant, I was fortunate to witness the entire experimental process." After signing his name, he handed the document back to the other party: "Your Majesty participated in the experiment at that time!"

He seemed to recall a terrible event: "It nearly wiped out a planet..."

"It's nothing unusual, right? If you use the Star Destroyer, you can also destroy a planet..." The engineer took the document signed by the other party, checked it, and then said.

He snorted dismissively, and the engineer who signed the contract sneered: "Star Destroyer? How can that crap that relies on continuous output of energy to heat the planet's core be compared with Taiyi?"

"What do you mean?" The engineer was taken aback, looking at him, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Taiyi is no longer a secret, at least on the artificial planet Taiyi, it is not a secret anymore.

Therefore, the engineer told the terrible scene he saw with his own eyes: "In less than 0.1 seconds, that experiment almost destroyed the entire planet!"

"My...God." Hearing what the other party said, the curious engineer widened his eyes, couldn't believe it for a long while, and finally calmed down and sighed.
