Chapter 208 Target: Boulder
In the center of the Nightmare Big Void, in the black hole horizon known as the Quiet Black Domain, there are two giant structures belonging to humans: the matter decompressor and the giant dock.
The matter decompressor is centered on a disc-shaped gravity drill. From a distance, it looks like a giant three-legged spider lying on a celestial body. Three equal-length graviton beams firmly anchor the main body of the giant structure in the black hole gravity well, so that the super drill can go deep into the singularity and extract resources.
The shape of the giant dock is a flat hollow octagon. Each side is an independent giant dock, surrounded by a constantly rotating energy core in the center, working non-stop to build ships.
It is worth mentioning that this octagon is far from being perfectly round and symmetrical. One of its sides obviously protrudes outward, carrying an independent dock with the largest specifications.
Seven large docks and one giant dock together form this unprecedented super shipyard.
"Among the eight docks, only the largest dock No. 1 has the ability to build 'Dominant' class ships, and the remaining seven docks can build up to 'Titan' class giant motherships."
Grey Wind took Russell's hand and led him through the conveyor belt carrying a large amount of raw materials, down to the deep well of the anchorage leading to Dock No. 1. On the way down, she continued:
"The current giant docks are basically fully loaded. All eight docks are working non-stop. There are 7 'Whale Shark' class Titan ships under construction. And 1 'King of the Overlord' class ship."
"In fact, if you want to go on a long journey, my suggestion is to set the departure time after the Overlord is built..."
As he spoke, he went down to the bottom of the deep well.
After opening the door, the first thing that came into view was a huge pillar that could not be seen at the end and the edge to the left and right. The pillar was slightly curved, with a light golden luster, and thousands of ant-like dots were busy doing something on it. Such a vast scene reminded Russell of the Jianmu sacred tree that supported the heaven and earth in mythology, and it also looked like the ribs of some space monster that fell down.
"I've seen the skeleton left by Coronie after he ate the Void Whale before... The ribs of the Void Whale don't seem to be as thick as this?" Russell thought.
"It's not that big, it's just a visual effect." Gray Wind shook his head and brought Russell a panoramic view of the skeleton of the Overlord that was being built:
"Here, this big pillar in front of us is the accessory bone of the left auxiliary wing of the Overlord. The largest Void Whale we have seen so far is about 20,000 kilometers long. The unilateral wingspan of the Overlord is only 4,000 kilometers, and the full wingspan is about 10,000 kilometers, which is only a little more than half the length of the Void Whale... It's still far from being a space monster."
Gray Wind's tone was a little disappointed.
"You can't say that, Mr. Xiaohui."
A tall technical sage wearing a red robe with gears and holding the Ohm Messiah Axe seemed to have heard the conversation here, and walked up uninvited and continued:
"Interstellar battleships and fixed buildings like giant docks are not the same thing. The two are completely different in design concept.
Space buildings do not need to move, and can rely on their own gravity to maintain structural stability. Architects can be bold and design different structures according to specific needs.
But starships are different. The construction of interstellar battleships must not only take into account the huge inertia of sub-light speed navigation, the gravitational anomaly caused by super-light speed jumps, and the structural stability when hit by external forces. ... Many difficult factors mixed together, making the construction of starships extremely difficult. "
"The construction difficulty of the orbital defense base and the combat starship of the same size is at least 10 times that of the former. The wingspan is 10,000 kilometers... The Truth Order can actually build such a huge and majestic ship, which is simply a miracle."
At this point, the technical sage who suddenly took over the conversation even choked up a little: "When I first set foot here and saw the huge ship skeleton, I was extremely sure that this was the miracle of the omnipotent mechanical god..."
Gray Wind turned his head to look at Russell, and Russell lowered his head to look at Gray Wind. The two looked at each other and were speechless.
"Isn't this Spangler? I remember that he seems to be the casting sage of the urban planet Embra? Why is he here?" Russell asked in the silent communication.
Gray Wind replied: "He came to visit."
"Visit?" Russell was a little confused.
"It's a visit~" Gray Wind continued in silent mode: "Anti-Entropy is the AI of human warships in the dark technology era. Its database stores a lot of precious STC data, but not all of it. We have been trading with the Mechanicus over the years, using various technologies and resources to exchange the STCs that Anti-Entropy does not have from the oilers to enrich our database.
The early stage was very smooth, but as the transaction progressed to a certain extent, the value of the STC involved became more important. Some conservative technical sages began to cherish their own possessions. No matter how many chips we gave, they were unwilling to exchange. Both Anti-Entropy and I were very troubled."
As he said, Gray Wind secretly glanced at the casting sage Spangler who was crying in front of the Overlord Skeleton not far away, and then said:
"This deadlock did not begin to ease until we started to build the Valkyrie-class battleship. I used the reactor stacking technology and the basic repair technology of the zero element armor to exchange for some precious STC standard construction templates, such as the power sword decomposition field, small void shield...
Spangler, the Forge Sage of Embra, did not leave with the expedition fleet. He still holds the design drawings of two ancient terminator models that have been lost for a long time. He can give them to us, but the condition is that he is allowed to visit the Overlord. construction process. "
So Anti-Entropy put him in.
Russell nodded, and he could understand the decision to reverse entropy.
He recently decided to sign an arms sales order with the Human Empire to curb the expansion of the Boundary Breakers by providing military assistance to the Human Empire.
Although the technological products from the stars are powerful, they are not suitable for the combat style of the human empire. The best plan is to transform the hive worlds in the Far Eastern Star Region into urban planets, relying on the strong productivity of the ideal city and the local STC , mass production of arms suitable for use by the Imperial Army.
If a customer is good at hitting people with sticks, then you should not put pulse rifles on the shelves, but sell him "Stick·Pro Max Puls Ultra".
Looking up again, Spangler was already walking further and further away. He was talking about "great graviton manipulation technology", "inconceivable miracles", "chosen people" and other strange words that he couldn't understand. The servo skull plays sacred binary prayers to the surroundings, and the centipede-like deformed body and the octopus-like tentacle-like mechanical arms dance continuously.
"Looking at his appearance, I suddenly feel confident about the next trip." Russell said with a helpless smile.
Gray Feng crossed his hands and twisted his thumbs in circles: "So where are you going and what are you doing on this trip?"
She still hoped that Russell could start later and drive the Juggernaut out after it was built.
"I plan to take a trip to the Klenna sector near the Eye of Terror." Russell smiled at Gray Wind and said: "According to the information sent back to the home port by the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet, the Dark Angel's 'Stone Monastery' is now Stay there and investigate something privately."
"I'm going to go to the boulder and pick up something."
