Chapter 326 Rapid Development

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Qi Yiming immediately decided to transform several earth-like planets in the Nirvana Galaxy so that humans could settle down completely in this galaxy.

Fortunately, humans have not completely abandoned the idea of ​​settling down, so the entire colonization plan has not encountered too many obstacles.

As Qi Yiming's order was issued, the entire Nirvana Galaxy became a large construction site.

The first thing to solve in the huge colonization project is the energy problem.

Fortunately, the Academy of Sciences has analyzed the biological Dyson membrane technology from the technological heritage left by the former Human Federation.

As for the lossless long-distance power transmission technology, this is a technology that humans have already mastered.

After a series of explorations by the Engineering Department, the third planet of the Nirvana Galaxy happened to have rare minerals that catalyzed the biological Dyson membrane. Qi Yiming felt that it was not at all inconsistent to name this galaxy Nirvana. It was really a blessed land for humans. As long as humans wanted something, they could find it in the Nirvana Galaxy.

Half a year later, the first batch of Dyson membranes with an area of ​​about 70 million square meters were cultivated.

The first generation of Dyson membranes had a conversion rate of less than 30% for solar energy, but fortunately, the area was huge, and it initially realized the energy needed for the initial construction of various human colonies.

These energies are sent to the orbits of the sixth and eighth planets of the Nirvana Galaxy and the Blue Star through wireless energy transmission devices installed on various orbits, and then converted into energy through receiving devices located above various colonies to serve the functions of various colonies.

This is only the first phase of the Dyson membrane project. The entire Dyson membrane will be completed in three steps. After the construction is completed, the Dyson membrane will form a huge film sphere with a radius slightly larger than the orbit of the third planet of Nirvana, completely wrapping the stars of the Nirvana Galaxy.

Because it is a transparent film, it does not affect the irradiation of the stars to various colonies.

However, when the Dyson membrane is completely completed, its conversion rate of solar energy will be as high as 70%, and this energy can fully support human beings to live well in the Nirvana Galaxy.

While various projects are gradually advancing as planned, Qi Yiming has ordered the escort fleet to move the cordon outward by more than 200 light years.

At this distance, the escort fleet has set up densely packed jump channel detection equipment. As long as the swarm enters this warning area through the jump channel, the human monitoring system will issue an alarm immediately.

At the speed of the Zerg, it would take at least a month to use the jump to pass a distance of more than 200 light years. Qi Yiming could use this time to organize a tight defense line and set up a jump blocking device in the direction of the Zerg, completely blocking the Zerg army outside the Nirvana Galaxy.

Humans, who have no worries for the time being, finally got a real rebirth in the Nirvana Galaxy after sailing for nearly a thousand years.

One technology after another has entered people's lives from the laboratory.

Half a year after the completion of the Dyson membrane, humans launched the Nirvana Galaxy Rapid Logistics System.

To put it bluntly, it is to find several stable gravitational lines in the Nirvana Galaxy, and build a railway system similar to the one built by humans on the mother planet along these stable gravitational lines.

As the project progresses, the prototype of the logistics system gradually comes into people's view.

Huge strong vacuum pipes are laid along stable gravitational lines.

The so-called strong vacuum is a vacuum pipe in the physical sense. The rarefaction of matter inside the pipe is several orders of magnitude lower than the rarefaction of matter in the external cosmic environment.

In this environment, the "locomotive" with four high-thrust antimatter engines will accelerate the cargo hold of tens of thousands of kilometers to the speed of light in just a dozen seconds and quickly fly to the next station.

This railway-like transportation mode is much more convenient and faster than using cargo ships to transport goods between various colonies, which further promotes the development speed of various colonies.

In the third year after the construction of the Nirvana Galaxy Logistics System started, the Academy of Sciences made another breakthrough in manufacturing technology.

A new type of growable synthetic metal was discovered. This metal can grow into any shape according to human ideas under the supply of sufficient energy.

All of a sudden, full 3D printing technology has become an outdated product in warship manufacturing.

One after another, huge ship body molds were manufactured. These warship molds are one-time castings. Without changing the appearance of the warship, the newly developed growable alloy is invested. In just three days, the shell of a battleship can be grown under the constraints of the mold.

The manufacturing time of a battleship was compressed to about one month.

Unfortunately, with the investment of battleship molds one by one, the huge energy consumption made it difficult to supply the Dyson membrane with a high conversion rate.

In order not to affect the normal development of the colony, Qi Yiming could only slow down the manufacturing speed of the battleships.

In fact, slowing down the manufacturing speed of battleships had long been proposed by Wang Shuhua, who coordinated the management of the army. With the current shipbuilding speed of humans, a large number of battleships have long been idle waiting for trained and qualified shipboard personnel to board the ships.

Even Qi Yiming did not expect such rapid development.

In fact, this is all due to the construction of various colonies with gradually improved functions.

The human group that returned to the ground to live and settle down suddenly realized the huge pressure brought to them by the swarm.

This pressure also appeared in the early days of the fleet's escape. At that time, humans showed great potential in terms of productivity and the combat effectiveness of the escort fleet.

Qi Yiming didn't know when that negative state appeared. Fortunately, this kind of self-potential exploitation under the huge desire for survival has become the norm in the human world.

Everyone did their best to complete their work, worked hard to improve their skill levels, and squeezed out their potential invisibly.

The result was a huge explosion of human productivity and scientific research capabilities.

A huge project from project establishment to completion often takes several months ahead of schedule, and some projects are completed half a year to a year ahead of schedule.

The Academy of Sciences was even more amazing. It had accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge on the way to escape.

After the external environment settled down, it had produced a lot of results, but as the researchers also entered the liver-burning mode, a large number of research topics were broken through.

The topics that had troubled the Academy of Sciences for many years also published a final report half a year after the researchers entered the liver-burning mode.

Finally, it created the advent of growable synthetic metals.

In the 26th year after humans arrived at the Nirvana Galaxy, all colonies completed preliminary development work, and the population at this time also ushered in an era of great explosion.

Since Qi Yiming issued the policy to encourage childbirth, in just over 20 years, the human population has recovered from less than 10 billion to 15 billion when humans embarked on the escape.

At this time, Qi Yiming has seen the dawn of human counterattack against the insect swarm.
