Chapter 790: Floating Empire

Zhong Jun, in Gu Xiaobai's bedroom, Gu Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes.

The phone rang: "Congratulations to the host for completing the 'Sea Overlord' quest and unlocking the stage prop 'Floating Empire'." ”

In Gu Xiaobai's heart, there are mixed tastes.

He lay on the bed, recalling the scene above the sea, looking at the little moth across the sea.

Obviously they are close to each other, but they can't hold hands with the little moth.

Gu Xiaobai really wanted to ask her, why?

Whether it is the little moth seen across the river in the Western Han Dynasty, or the little moth seen on the sea in the Ming Dynasty, what kind of existence is it?

Is she real? Or is it a projection of the system?

If it was real, how did she span so many years.

If it's not real, why is she there? What the hell is the system doing?

Gu Xiaobai frowned and thought hard for a long time, and had a lot of guesses, but he couldn't figure it out.

As he continued to study hard, he made a lot of progress in physics, but the more he studied and improved, the more he felt that he might not be able to understand the power of the system in his lifetime.

This is no longer something that can be done by modern physics, and to understand all this, I am afraid that a new leap in physics, such as relativity and quantum mechanics, is needed.

He was lying on the bed, and his mind seemed to echo the song "Two Sons on a Boat" sung by Little Moth.

Such as crying, complaining, resentment.

The strong longing, the inseparable love, made his heart throb.

I don't know when, Gu Xiaobai found that he couldn't leave the little moth in his world.

But they are separated from each other at opposite ends of the river of time.

As the saying goes, "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River." Every day, I don't see you, and I drink the water of the Yangtze River. ”

Whenever he misses the little moth, he can also go back to the Spring and Autumn Period and meet the little moth.

But what about the little moth? After these short years of getting along, the little moth disappeared into the long river of time, and in such a long time, he could travel through and appear for so little time, compared to the long history of mankind, it was only a moment.

How did the little moth endure the loneliness and longing?

And what he didn't dare to think about was that the time when the little moth "disappeared" in history was getting closer and closer.

The little moth only stayed in Linzi for three years, and since then it has "disappeared", and now almost two years have passed.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he cherishes every return to the past.

And every time he crosses, every time he changes his identity, the little moth will be desperate to see him.

Whether he is a young general who crisscrosses the battlefield, or an immature boy who rides a whale in the blue sea, the red figure will always appear quietly in the distance.

Sooner or later, but never absent.

The two people, like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl separated by the long river of time, can only meet for a moment, and loneliness is eternal.

And what's even more sad is that now they are not separated by the Tianhe, but Gu Xiaobai knows that the Tianhe that separates everything will come after all.

It's like a condemned prisoner, watching the countdown waiting for the execution.

More and more entanglement and panic were slowly injected into his heart.

After a long time, Gu Xiaobai sorted out his emotions, picked up his mobile phone, and looked at the "floating empire" reward.

"Floating Empire: You helped Zheng He complete the mission of 'exterminating the pirate empire', dredged the waterways of the Strait of Malacca, your prestige spread all over the seven seas and five oceans, Zheng He's fleet is willing to follow you to the end of the world, you have unparalleled influence on this world's number one fleet, you have an empire floating on the sea. ”

When he saw this, Gu Xiaobai was still a little puzzled, and he didn't know what this "floating empire" meant.

"This fleet is willing to follow you anywhere, even as a stage for your show. ”

"You can reconstruct this fleet into a performance venue, summoned on any surface of water, with deck areas stacked on top of each other to create the performance area you can currently use. ”

"You currently have a total deck area of 88,270 square meters. ”

Seeing this, Gu Xiaobai's eyes were about to pop out.

It turned out to be so!

This is the most important foundation of the "Sea Tour", a "performance venue on the sea"!

And what is the concept of 88,270 square meters?

It's about the equivalent of a bird's nest on the sea!

Although the Bird's Nest is not ranked in the top ten of the world's largest stadiums, it is already the largest stadium in China, and countless singers are proud to be able to hold concerts in the Bird's Nest.

After all, there are not many singers in the country who can fill a venue that can accommodate 80,000 people with their fans.

The area of the deck of a Zheng He treasure ship is almost equivalent to a standard football field, estimated at 8,000 square meters according to its length and width.

Of course, as the flagship of Zheng He's fleet, this ship is the largest wooden sailing ship in the world.

Even in modern times, there are no such huge wooden sailing ships.

Due to the limitations of materials, such a ship requires too high a cost, and it is difficult to reproduce even if it is built with modern technology.

In order to build this ship, as early as the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the establishment of a tree nursery on the southern slope of Jiangshan Mountain in Chaoyangmen (now Purple Mountain in Nanjing), planting "tens of millions of trees each" such as palm, tung and lacquer. After decades of growth, it was not until the Yongle period that the trees became ready for use.

In modern society, if you want to rebuild such a ship, I am afraid that even trees have to be planted.

Such a ship, such a fleet, can only be made by combining decades of work by the world's largest power.

Even in Zheng He's fleet, there is only such one.

Most of the other ships were small and medium-sized ships, and the combined size of these ships was only about ten times the deck area of Zheng He's treasure ship.

This feeling is like ten Zheng He's treasure ships lined up on the sea, connecting the decks in parallel as a performance venue at sea.

And that's not all: "As the overlord of the seas, you can add the deck area of the ships you have sunk and captured to the 'Floating Empire' and expand the area of your show." ”

Gu Xiaobai didn't know what to say.

To date, the largest floating debris made at sea is the Shell Floating LNG Production, Storage and Offloading Unit, which is 488 meters long and 74 meters wide and has a surface area of 36,112 square meters.

Compared with it, Gu Xiaobai's sea performance venue is more than twice as large!

In fact, this "artificial floating object" is still being manufactured and has not yet been fully formed.

Compared with it, Gu Xiaobai's sea performance venue can really be said to be a "floating empire".

But how do you take out such a huge thing?

Gu Xiaobai has a headache, even if there is a system to help him solve the problem of the performance venue, he needs to do too much cover-up work.

Fortunately, some time ago, in addition to his papers on marine acoustics, he also published several papers on ship dynamics.

Now, it seems that we have to continue to make up for the shortcomings and get out the research in this area, otherwise how will we explain to everyone how the huge floating debris on the sea came about?

Moreover, time was still very short, and he needed to study a lot of things, and now he had to get the blueprints out......

"System, I blame you, I found out that you are indeed a great physicist system. ”

System: "?????"

I'm not!

I'm really not a big physicist system!

"No, I've seen through you, Great Physicist System!"

First, he forced me to study physics desperately, hoping to grasp the mysteries of time and space.

Then I used this oversized "floating debris at sea" to let me frantically brush up on the thesis of ship dynamics.

You say you're not a big physicist system, who believes it?

Although it may seem difficult to cover all this in the past, what is it compared to the little moth that has passed 2,700 years in time and space?

As long as the theoretical problems are solved, the rest will be easy to handle.

Gu Xiaobai's fighting spirit was high, and he suddenly jumped up with a carp and rushed out.

"Lao Jiang! Lao Jiang! You have a big business again! I want to build a super big ship!"

Tangjiang Shipyard, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, is destined to be in the limelight.

Deng Shunyang, the head of the Institute of Architectural Acoustics at the University of Southeast Asia and Zhu Qinan's mentor, was looking at Zhu Qinan's doctoral dissertation, nodding his head while reading.

Zhu Qinan is a sophomore Ph.D. this year, and most of the PhDs now take three or more years to graduate, and the most critical problem that holds them up is their doctoral dissertation.

The requirements for a doctoral dissertation are much higher than those of ordinary undergraduate and master's students.

Especially in a prestigious school like Dongyuan University, what is required is the top journal in the industry, and even the top international journal.

Even Deng Shunyang's students, there are many people who still can't graduate when they reach the age of time, and have to slowly grind their results and stay up for time.

Zhu Qinan is an exception, he is only in his second year of doctorate, and several papers have already come out.

To some extent, Zhu Qinan has come to the forefront of this industry.

Not to mention anything else, the title of "Chief Designer of Architectural Acoustics of the Bell and Drum Tower Project" can make Zhu Qinan famous in the circle.

And waiting, Zhu Qinan did not stop moving forward, and sent several papers.

In all the papers, Zhu Qinan regarded this thesis as his doctoral dissertation.

Study on the Acoustic Effect of Very Large Musical Instruments in Ship Space: Acoustic Design of Shipborne Bells and Drums.

Yes, this paper is a paper written by Zhu Qinan after designing the architectural acoustics of the "Bad Boy".

Zhu Qinan has also crossed the border, from ordinary architectural acoustics to the field of ship space and ship acoustic design.

As early as the end of last year, Deng Shunyang considered letting Zhu Qinan graduate early. At that time, the paper was about the acoustic design of the bell and drum tower.

And just a month ago, Zhu Qinan brought this paper, saying that he had some new research experience, and the previous research was outdated.

At that time, Deng Shunyang felt that Zhu Qinan was crazy.

Not to mention anything else, the bell and drum tower project has such a big reputation, and the defense teachers have to be leisurely even if they are picky, and they have to play higher when grading.

But after reading Zhu Qinan's new paper, Deng Shunyang had to sigh that the current children are too difficult to deal with.

Compared with the jerky and slightly unconfident at the time of the Bell and Drum Tower, this paper has a new atmosphere, and its research depth is ......

I can't even read it!

Am I still qualified to be this teacher?

Deng Shunyang took out twelve points of energy to help Zhu Qinan review the paper, read and revise it word by word, and was more serious than when he graduated from the doctorate.

It's been almost a week now.

There is no way, as Deng Shunyang's proud disciple, such an excellent seedling, no matter how important he is, he can't be too important.

After all, Zhu Qinan's goal is to be the "best doctoral dissertation" in the whole school this year!

In the whole school, there are still a lot of Niu Fork characters, and the competition with thousands of people is tragic.

Even if Zhu Qinan's current level is not to be taken lightly.

It's just that......

After he graduates, he will be poached by Gu Xiaobai and go to Baisheng......

Alas......

Looking at it, Deng Shunyang suddenly felt sad.

The child is too old to keep it!

Deng Shunyang, who was grieving and wanted to wipe a handful of tears, suddenly heard a knock on the door: "Teacher......"

Then, the door creaked and was gently pushed open, and Zhu Qinan's head poked in.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Deng Shunyang put down the paper in his hand, pinched his eyebrows, relieved his sore head a little, and smiled.

Zhu Qinan was a little embarrassed.

"It's about the paper......

"Thesis?" Deng Shunyang patted the paper on the table, "I revised some of it for you, and I also wrote some revisions, according to this, there should be a lot of hope......

"Hey, hey......" Zhu Qinan laughed, "That...... I don't think this is stable, but I want to change the subject while there is still a little time. ”

"Another topic?" Deng Shunyang almost squirted out the old groove overnight, do you know how hard I look at your paper?!!!

You're now saying you want to change your subject?

There are so many topics in the world for you to do!

A bell and drum tower you are not satisfied.

Aren't you satisfied with the Bad Boy?

How exactly can you be satisfied?

Do you have to put a big satellite?

Then, he saw Zhu Qinan put a stack of thick things in front of him.

Mechanical Structure and Acoustic Design of Super-Large Offshore Performance Venues.

Deng Shunyang's eyes were straight.

What is this again!

"I think this article should be almost nine out of ten. Zhu Qinan smiled.

Deng Shunyang looked at the topic, and his fingers trembled a little.

"This, is it Xiaobai's ......?"

Zhu Qinan nodded: "This is the first draft of my design with Xiaobai, please take a look at it first." ”

"How big?"

"It's not that big, it's just bigger than a bird's nest. Zhu Qinan said.

Deng Shunyang was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground with a backflip.

What? Not much bigger than a bird's nest?

What the hell do you kids, what do you want to do?

Do you want to scare me to death so that I can usurp the throne and then swallow up my Institute of Architectural Acoustics?

I've seen through you!
