26.15 The Coming of the Water Star
To Jun Jiexing's departure, he sent a travel application to the Magnetic Cloud Star, and naturally he was inevitably retained, but to Jun Jiexing's surprise, Ye Qiusheng, the person in charge with the highest authority on the entire planet, actually sent a communication directly, asking: "Do you really want to leave?!" β
Actually: After Ye Qiusheng saw Jun Xingxing's application report, he first sent a communication link to Bai Miyun in orbit, preparing to forcibly order Bai Miyun to leave directly.
It's just that after meeting Bai Mihai, the high-ranking commander, I had to discuss it patiently. tried to persuade Bai Mihai to abide by the Law on the Protection of Minors and not to "coerce and induce" all stars.
Obviously, Bai Mihai came up with some laws and human reasons to refute it very reasonably, so that Ye Qiusheng lost in the conversation. After he couldn't please Bai Mihai here, he linked to the communication of Jun Xingxing.
In the near-face-to-face projection communication, Jun Jiexing felt the bitterness of the big manufacturer, and he was very embarrassed. But in the end, on the grounds that "Master Bai wants to inspect me", he decided that he would leave Ciyun Star for the time being.
After Ye Qiusheng's persuasion was fruitless, he was finally released.
β¦β¦
Four hours after Bai Mihai and Jun picked up the stars, a space shuttle arrived at the Science Globe and picked up the stars.
The space shuttle, accelerated by the blue light of the electric propulsion, reached 18 kilometers per second when it circled the magnetocloud star for the sixth time, and began to dock with the cruiser waiting in space.
The multi-layered technical plates in the belly of the cruiser opened directly, revealing a standardized hole with a mechanical arm extending from the hole.
The space shuttle's belly pops out of the living module, which is the same size as a tank truck's can. Just docked with the belly of the cruiser.
The living module is grabbed by a robotic arm, and the living module is dragged by the robotic arm to fit into the circular hole as exactly as a standard plug. The diameter of the living chamber is slightly less than the diameter of the hole by 0.3 millimeters. It's like the shell and the barrel inner diameter match. After the living compartment is docked to the inside of the battleship, the shell will be heated to a constant temperature of 28 degrees, and the embedded compartment at this temperature will expand slightly, which will be tightly integrated with the depression of the battleship, reducing the possibility of gas escape to a minimum.
The development of interplanetary interstellar technology for more than 800 years has made all kinds of details reach the point of incomparably exquisite.
After boarding the cruiser, the cabin of the all-star pick-up was connected to the battleship information system, and the artificial intelligence welcomed the all-star pick-up on the ship with a soft voice. And the three-dimensional projection model of the battleship was presented in front of Jun Zhuxing.
This cruiser really didn't waste a single bit of space, there were no aisles, only cabins, material pipelines, and information networks.
This was an eye-opener for Jun Zexing β and it also washed away some of the assumptions that remained from 800 years ago.
"Perhaps when primitive people crossed the river in canoes, compared with imagining the large-scale sea-crossing tools of the future, it was a large raft with millions of logs simply wrapped. However, from the perspective of human beings after the Industrial Revolution, millions of pieces of wood tied together? What a rudimentary thing it is, wood will rot after a long time of immersion, ropes will be destroyed by marine animals, and it is impossible to paddle through the waves.
People at the beginning of the industrial age looked at the ancients and smiled. And the humans of the space age look at the imagination of space opera at the beginning of the industrial age, and why not smile. The self-sustaining power of the concept of space warships imagined by human beings using ocean ships as models is comparable to that of bamboo rafts in the sea. β
A space station in low-earth orbit is fine if it floats in space for a month, but if it floats for three or four months without replenishment, then there will be a big problem. And this kind of cruiser, without supplies, can float for five years to the limit of self-sufficiency!
Instead of maintaining a large common area, the pipeline directly supplies oxygen and supplies to the various compartments, so a huge fleet is more than enough to supply more than sixty compartments for three years.
In the event of battle damage, the damaged area of the fleet is directly closed and the pipelines in the area are closed to reduce leakage, and if necessary, the fleet members are reduced, and some of the war builders are allowed to abandon their cyborg bodies, disassemble their heads and teleport to the core cabin of the battleship controller for hibernation.
Warmaker rebellion against controller? That is non-existent, the cabins of the two ships are not connected at all.
The controllers master the pipeline system that supplies oxygen, water, and food, and have the highest authority for artificial intelligence, and they are the masters of everyone on this battleship!
Culturally, the controller is the monarch of the war maker, and in space, the monarch can decide the lives of his retainers.
β¦β¦
However, when the battleship welcomed a distinguished guest, the distinguished guest seemed to be subservient in a certain compartment.
Usually the controller will perform ceremonial rituals that make both parties equal in order to show equality.
After the capsule successfully docked with the battleship's belly, the projection of Bai Miyun and Bai Mihai was projected in the space capsule. Bai Mihai was also in another cylindrical can-shaped capsule in the belly of the battleship.
Bai Miyun glanced at Jun Xingxing: "Senior brother, you are very young, well, by the way, the nano high-energy tools in space, right?" β
Jun picked up the stars: "Bring it, my artificial intelligence reminds you that when you take the cabin of a battleship, the key thing is to bring these things." β
Bai Miyun nodded: "Open the material acceptance port." β
They all picked up the stars and shook the gate in the shape of the cannon lock, revealing the bottomless pipes. This is the material pipeline for the docking of the cabin and the battleship.
A few minutes later, a number of squares and glass sphere-like objects were blown out of the pipe inlet.
The cubes are clouds of nanoparticles, the ununexpanded aggregates are now shimmering with the sheen of metal crystals, and the "glass balls" are the energy nuclei of the heavy element.
This kind of thing is only qualified for high-level professionals with a sufficiently high level of precision in the magic line, because it needs to control more than 60,000 data sets per second to activate.
These small things represent equality, and important guests will take these things with them when they board a battleship, and the controller will invite important guests to offer them in their own battleship, indicating their equality attitude.
[A small glass ball, if it is used once regardless of the lifespan, can release the energy equivalent to four tons of standard coal, of course, if the domain control is accurate enough and the body is well defended, with a can of lithium deuteride can release a hundred tons of equivalent particle beams at one time, which is an attack that belongs to the power level of naval artillery. γ
Jun Xingxing solemnly accepted the equipment, Bai Miyun smiled, and then ended the communication - in this space area where there may be a lot of space junk, the controller needs to be on duty with the war builders, and cannot have a long chat with the guests.
In the barn where the stars are all picked up, there is only a projection of Bai Mihai left.
Bai Mihai looked at Jun Xingxing and said, "Xingxing, let's go to an extraterritorial civilization planet for the first time!" β
Jun Xingxing nodded.
Bai Mihai nodded: "Then everything has to listen to me, the situation on the extraterritorial planet is very complicated." β
All picked up the stars with an expression of "I don't know".
Bai Mihai smiled, threw a glass ball in his hand, and said, "Do you know why the Federation wants to develop this kind of thing?" β
All picked up the stars and cooperated with the inquiring gaze.
Bai Mihai: "Because the other two planets have similar things, the name of the Water Star is "magic guide", and the name of the Wind Star is "magic weapon". β
Jun Jiexing asked curiously: "It sounds a bit like a mythical story." β
Bai Mihai chuckled: "Yes, we sound like a mythical story, before the universe, the locals did treat these things with the attitude of treating artifacts, well, as for the people who master these things, they are called magic masters and immortals!" β
He turned the "glass beads" in his hand and said in an emotional tone: "This kind of extraordinary power compared to ordinary people also makes those people like Water Star and Wind Star very proud when they face our arrival!" Hmph, until we made something like that with technology! So that they can listen to us well. βwhen he said this last sentence, there was a bland and contemptuous tone.
Jun Xing smiled: "We use technology to analyze their power, and they are also using power to imitate our technology!" β
Bai Mihai sneered, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I made some very interesting imitations in the four hundred years of the universe." β
With that, he opened a video. The video is on a wide plain with a large tank that looks unique.
Thirty meters wide and twelve meters high, the shell is full of rivets, four tracks, a Land Cruiser-sized monster, and the two pipes behind the hull emit thick black smoke, producing several times the noise of a farm tractor.
But instead of metal tubes, the turret is a mechanical cuboid covered with lines and glow.
Just as Jun Jiexing guessed how this thing would attack, the outermost mechanical shell of the mechanical cuboid opened like petals, revealing the glowing core glowing "prism" inside, the texture of this prism was like the peeled emerald green flesh.
As the tip accumulated, the air was filled with a manic "hum", and a green light radiated from the top and pierced straight forward.
The video is pulled into the distance, and the target is a reinforced concrete bunker with a diameter of 60 meters, which is full of edges and corners, and it is obvious that the intelligent robot has been repaired according to the light gauge measurement. (In the case of human repairs, complex measurements can be used to arc the shape to increase the space inside the bunker.) οΌ
The green light pierced the bunker like a red-hot needle piercing a piece of paper. And after the light penetrates the bunker, the nature suddenly changes from penetration to diffusion.
To be precise, the extremely high speed brakes directly to a standstill and becomes a point, and then spreads evenly towards the surroundings in an absolutely spherical area, ignoring the wall.
This spherical area instantly enveloped the entire bunker, and all the combustible garbage piled up inside and outside the bunker burned. An absolutely circular circle of scorched earth is formed.
And this open forty-meter spherical area, after doing all this, quickly retracted, no, it was retracted as quickly as it was opened, and it was more appropriate to collapse it.
After collapsing, another point of light was formed, and then this point of light, which was obviously much less energy than when it came, returned to the tip of the tank's mechanical prism along the same path.
This striking mode is inexplicably familiar: the light points that I am emitting now are also shot out like this, and then dispersed after reaching the target area. Then the central dot gets the reflected information and quickly snaps back.
It's a similar design, but of course the role pursued is different.
The particles of light that pick up the stars are radars, but this tank releases energy roughly, and then the light points return, quickly drawing energy in the prism, and then striking at the second target.
After watching the video quietly, Bai Mihai said in a mocking tone: "This is the war magic guide made by those great alchemists who adopted the advantages of our technology forty years after we arrived at the Water Star?" At first glance it sounds like a compliment, but at the end of the sentence it is full of irony.
Jun Jiexing nodded and said pertinently: "Nice innovation, if we don't come, the mobility and power of this thing will beat their traditional magic cannon!" β
Jun Jiexing turned his head to Bai Mihai and asked, "Has it been captured?" β
Bai Mihai spread his hands: "It may not satisfy your curiosity, this thing was hit by a bomber bomb, and it exploded directly in particles." β
Jun Xingxing sighed: "So, it's really a pity!" But how did they have such advanced technology? Our civilization has not been able to create such a system in tens of thousands of years of the New Age of Magic. β
As a mechanic who came from the steam calendar, he all picked up stars and admitted that the steam calendar couldn't make such a thing.
At this time, Bai Mihai magnified the projection of the magic cannon barrel, and the countless tiny light paths inside it were clearly displayed, some of which were a hundred times thinner than a human hair.
Regarding the curiosity of Jun Xingxing, Bai Mihai nodded and explained slowly: "Fourteen hundred years ago, when our planet has begun the electronic information revolution (after the time of Su Ying's death), their planet ushered in the third great god Ze, the "rhyme of magic energy" Spina God descended on the water star for the first time in this generation, and the water star ushered in the first change in alchemy technology, and eight hundred years ago, God passed on our manufacturing professional system and technology to carry out the second alchemy revolution. β
Narrator: The mechanical engineering system that was introduced to the Water Star was an assistant to an alchemist, or a laborer who had signed a deed of sale.
Inside the capsule, the images on the four walls have been adjusted by artificial intelligence to the background of an empty starry sky, and the magnetocloud star with dimple-like storm clouds behind it is slowly moving away.
Bai Mihai pointed to the complex prismatic diagram on the magic guide barrel in the mirror-like interface and said, "So don't underestimate their technology, some of the things they inherited from the gods are more advanced than the things we made, but their science is several generations behind us. β
Hearing this, Jun Jiexing's neck nodded slightly, and at this moment, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he silently said in his heart: "More than one era!" - I didn't lose anything! β
Bai Mihai looked at Jun Juexing, couldn't help pausing for a few seconds, and when Jun Juexing finished smiling, there was a trace of pride in his eyes, and he felt a sense of weirdness in his heart in an instant, as if the honesty of the child in front of him seemed to be a shell.
Bai Mihai: "Picking stars, our civilization is great. β
Jun Xingxing nodded. Look at the starry background displayed on the surrounding walls.
In the vast starry sky, how many stars can guide the calendar of a civilization?
