Chapter 55: The Talents of a Living Saint
The Ark is not just an ecological spaceship that can fly.
It is also an industrial base, a mining base, a shipbuilding base, an airport, and a battle fortress.
Even a ten-kilometer-class Ark will have four military ports, six engineering ports, four cargo ports, and twelve small docks.
It can accommodate 20,000 mining machines, 10,000 engineering machines, 50 "Iron Slave" mining boats, 100 "V3" transport boats, and 3,000 interstellar fighters or bombers.
Once built, it will be enough to accommodate 500,000 people.
001: "The cultivation farm has been put into use. It is expected that the first batch of crops will mature and be harvested in forty-seven days."
The cultivation farm has been put into use?
Li Meng was very happy about this news.
Calculating the time, more than two months have passed since returning from the trade mall.
Now that the cultivation farm has been put into use, the pressure on food has finally been solved.
001: "The construction progress of the Ark has been completed by 27%, and it is expected to take five years to complete the construction."
Five years?
In other words, it will only take three and a half years to complete?
You know, the Ark is a huge monster that is 10 kilometers long, 6 kilometers wide and 4 kilometers high.
It can be completed within five years, which shows how powerful the power of technology is.
001: "The construction progress of the temple has been completed by 0.6%, and it is expected to take fifteen years to complete the construction."
The construction of the Ark has just begun. Due to the difficulty of forging in Sikkim, fifteen years is still a short time.
According to Li Meng's estimation, whether it can be completed within twenty years is still an unknown.
001: "Of the twelve docks of the Ark, six have been put into use, two Flame Storm-class escort ships and four "Cobra" destroyers have joined the construction, and it is expected that they can be launched one after another within five years."
"It's been a long time..."
Li Meng suddenly said something that people couldn't understand.
Irene, Ellie paused and looked at "Wang".
And Irina was the same, looking at "Wang" in confusion.
001: "I don't know what "long time" means? Please explain..."
In the blind spot of Irene and Ellie, Li Meng gently patted Mrs. Irina's buttocks.
The touch from the buttocks made Irina's expression slightly moved, and she took a green fruit from the plate and fed it into the mouth of the "king".
Facing Mrs. Irina's faint reproachful eyes, Li Meng grinned.
After eating the sour and sweet green fruit, Li Meng said: "Five years is too long. Minus a Firestorm-class escort ship and two "Cobra" destroyers, how long will it take?"
001: "It can be launched one after another within two years..."
Will "UNSC" give him five years?
Of course not. Since the other party knows that he is sitting on a gold mountain, they will never delay time.
Because the longer the delay, the greater the technological gap between the two sides will be.
At present, "UNSC" knows where he is, but he doesn't know where "UNSC" is.
The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. Like the other party, Li Meng cannot delay.
Armaments must be strengthened in the shortest possible time to prevent possible wars in the future.
"Then reduce it, notify Donald..."
001: "Yes, the message has been sent!"
Li Meng's face was thoughtful as he swallowed another green fruit.
Now he can only take one step at a time...
All plans are based on strength.
For now, he should stay in the S-01888 star system and develop honestly.
[You have discovered the S-01909 star system]
[Activate personal task "Explore Abnormal Points", complete the task: +100,000 trade coins, fail the task: -100,000 trade coins, time limit: 3 years]
[Activate the random feature of the characteristic "Son of the Star", complete the task: +10 million trade coins, fail the task: -10,000 trade coins]
The metal subtitles suddenly floated in front of him...
This made Li Meng's expression slightly moved, and he thought to himself.
It seems that the Alfred has arrived at a new star system again...
This time, a personal mission was also activated.
About a month ago, the Alfred had left the S-01888 star system.
This was Li Meng's order. The mission was simple, to explore the nearby star systems.
It doesn't matter if it runs far away. With Li Meng here, the Alfred will not be lost.
001: "King, the astropath on the bridge has sent a message. The Alfred has arrived at a new star system. It seems that there is some abnormal event."
In the Empire, astropaths belong to the Astropathic Office.
Although they are psychics, they do not have too strong power.
Their only ability is to transmit messages to astropaths in a certain node through the subspace.
In the Empire, astropaths play the role of long-distance communication.
Compared with the material world, once the distance is too far, there will be a very high delay in the communication signal.
The delay of psychic communication is lower. Even if the two places are 100,000 light years apart, they can be received in a very short time.
Of course, psychic communication also has disadvantages.
First, it is easily interfered by the subspace storm, causing information ambiguity.
Second, it cannot transmit overly complex information.
"001, tell Odysseus to increase the alert level. The Alfred is not here. Don't let anyone steal the house. If there is anything, let the astropath contact me."
It's just a reminder. The possibility of stealing the house is very small.
Besides, although the armament of the Far Journey is low, it also has a certain self-protection ability.
And there are many anti-ship torpedoes in stock.
There is no need for a launch tube, just throw it into the vacuum and ignite it.
In a place where Irene and Ellie can't see, Li Meng gently patted Mrs. Irina on the buttocks.
Then he stood up and came to the glass wall.
Turning around and looking at the three women behind him, Li Meng said, "I will be back soon, maybe a few months, maybe a few days..."
After he finished speaking, golden and white light emerged from Li Meng's body.
Light particles visible to the naked eye floated in the air, dazzling and soft.
In the holy light, Li Meng's nightgown gradually dissipated and turned into a heavy golden armor.
Li Meng, who was emitting golden light, was like an ancient golden armor warrior, with an imposing aura.
A pair of huge golden light wings appeared from behind Li Meng, dancing like a light belt.
This scene made the three women stunned, with incredible expressions on their faces.
The only thing in their eyes was reverence, admiration, excitement, and fanaticism.
This was the first time that Li Meng showed the true posture of a living saint in front of the three women.
At this moment, the space above Li Meng's head twisted, and a huge red vortex quickly emerged.
The golden light wings flapped, and Li Meng turned into a golden light and rushed into the red vortex.
As Li Meng disappeared, the red vortex quickly dissipated.
In the huge hall, only three women with fanatical eyes were left.
Irina was so excited that she shed tears.
She had heard the legend of the living saint since she was a child.
And now, the legend has become a reality, happening right next to her...
