Chapter 754: The Warden Satellite

Lin Zaishan summoned Dr. Sam, Xu Yuxin, Zhao Feiyan and Zhiyang Yang overnight, introduced them to the design principles and code outline of the Flying Eagle Mecha, and asked them to use the Flying Eagle as a template to design a larger, better performance and higher safety vehicle. Since the Flying Eagle used a large number of level 7 and 8 abilities, which were beyond the ability of Dr. Sam and others, Lin Zaishan packaged and encapsulated these advanced elements, and provided them with direct use after modularization.

No matter how clever a person is, he will inevitably be inconsiderate. Although Lin Zaishan is the number one master in Zhongcheng, a seventh-level star soul powerhouse, and an extraordinary star soul coder, he can't conquer the world and do everything alone. Over the course of one night, Dr. Sam et al. made 32 specific suggestions for improving the design of the Flying Eagle. Lin Zaishan was very satisfied after seeing it, and readjusted and improved the star soul components and codes of the advanced module, and after synthesizing the wisdom of the smartest people in the world today, he launched 2 air vehicles:

The first is a larger flying mech. The mecha is composed of 10,000 plus Star Soul elements and 100 tons of high-quality materials; Controlled by system-level SAI; Fully equipped offensive and defensive mechanisms; It can transport 1,000 tons of materials, nearly 100 personnel and other small mechs, vehicles and weapons and equipment; The expected single-cycle endurance (the time it takes for the aircraft to reach the critical point of the overload index at maximum safe speed) is 40 hours, and the time to fly around the Earth is 6 hours. The flying mecha is mainly used for long-range delivery missions.

The second is a smaller, improved Flying Eagle Mech. The mecha is made up of 1,000 plus Star Soul components and 10 tons of high-quality materials; Controlled by squad-level SAI; Equipped with a variety of offensive and defensive mechanisms; Able to transport about 10 personnel and corresponding equipment; It has multi-habitat capabilities at sea, land, air, sky and underwater; The expected endurance time is 12 hours in a single cycle, and the time to fly around the earth is 4 hours. The improved Flying Eagle mech is mainly used to perform squad maneuver missions.

After the Star Soul technology models of the two mechs are designed, the next thing to do is to make a physical product. The biggest difference between the production of mecha driven by Star Soul technology and the previous one is that it does not require fixed factories, workshops, machine tools and other equipment, nor does it need to painstakingly assemble components; As long as the pre-programmed core star soul component module is put into the material pile, it will be automatically formed in a relatively short time; When problems or technical vulnerabilities are found, you can rewrite the Star Soul Component Module over the air, and indirectly adjust the structure and shape of the mecha through the Star Soul Component Module. In a sense, it's more magical than magic.

The Star Soul Element Modules needed to craft the Flying Mech and Eagle Mech were crafted overnight, and the various materials (thanks to the tireless collection of the 4 Outposts) also grew. The higher the quality of the mech's crafting materials, the better the performance; It doesn't matter if you don't have ready-made high-quality materials for the time being, because Lin Zaishan's level 8 ability can extract high-quality materials from soil, sand, metal, and other materials, and even create new materials by directly changing the composition of molecules and atoms—but it takes a lot of time and energy to do so.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, the first flying mecha and the improved flying eagle mecha were built and parked on the playground of Midtown University.

Xu Yuxin, Zhiyangyang, and others were impatient to demand that the navigation test be carried out immediately. Lin Zaishan was concerned about his safety and did not agree. Imagine that the Flying Sky or Flying Eagle Mecha is suddenly besieged and intercepted by the Star Soul Shepherd or the Fire Stealer in space, and the crew members make operational errors due to lack of flight training, and Lin Zaishan himself is not on the scene - the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.

Xu Yuxin, Zhiyangyang, Dr. Sam, Zhao Feiyan and others are all baby bumps in Lin Zaishan's eyes, and they are top talents that are unique in ten thousand, and he can't risk losing any of them. In this way, the sea trial operation was temporarily put on hold.

For Lin Zaishan, today's main work arrangements are: 1. Formally meet with Lan Ruocheng's representative Shayeta; 2. Discuss the development of the latest multi-functional satellites; 3. Organize flight and eagle mecha trial training.

The meeting with Shayeta was entirely ceremonial, and the details were handed over to the newly appointed Deputy Consul and Minister of External Relations, Xiangzhu Jushi. Shayeta came here mainly to visit and learn the advanced star soul technology and urban governance system in Zhongcheng, and after Xiangzhu Jushi confirmed the itinerary with her, he handed her over to Lan Yan and others to accompany her.

Discussing the research and development of multi-functional satellites is the focus of Lin Zaishan's work today. None of the people in Midtown are satellite experts, and none of them have experience in building satellites. Fortunately, the satellites used in the new era of the end times are completely different from the previous ones in terms of technical principles, and everyone just works together to put forward ideas and suggestions, which are summarized by Lin Zaishan, who solidifies everyone's wisdom and logic into the core component of the satellite, the star soul component module, in the way of star soul coding. In the afternoon of the same day, Midtown's first artificial satellite was launched.

The satellite's Star Soul component module integrates 3,000 Star Soul Primitives, which are controlled by subsystem-level SAI, with a total weight of about 1 ton; The endurance time of a single cycle is more than 100 hours, and the flight time around the earth is 8 hours; It has a variety of light, heat, electromagnetic induction, imaging and analysis capabilities, and the accuracy of distinguishing surface objects under normal meteorological conditions reaches 1 mm; Equipped with a dynamic protection code network, it has long-range and short-range attack capabilities, and can directly carry out optical and magnetic energy and code stream strikes on high-speed moving targets on the ground from an altitude of hundreds of kilometers; It can also send and receive a variety of electromagnetic signals commonly used by humans.

The satellite was named Watchman 1.

Lin Zaishan said to the technicians: "Satellites are our eyes in space, and the realization of the global plan in one minute and the realization of transportation and communication around the world all depend on new satellites. We need to launch at least 30 satellites like the Watchman to achieve full coverage of communication symbols; It takes more than 100 pieces to achieve global seamless 1Tb high-speed communication; If we reach 1,000, we can build an extremely tight and powerful space protection network, bringing the entire planet into the safe zone. ”

"Wow!" Zhiyang Yang listened and drooled excitedly. "Captain, what are we waiting for? Let's work overtime to build satellites! ”

Lin Zaishan sighed: "Although the manufacturing time of a single Watcher satellite is very short, it consumes more star soul components, and my current star soul reserve can only meet the needs of dozens at most, and I also have to make flying and flying eagle mechas." In order to get more Star Souls, I have to dedicate time to fighting bugs. It also takes a lot of time and effort to format and reprogram the Star Soul. ”

Xu Yuxin said, "Teacher Lin, can we help in any way?" ”

"If we want to achieve the 1-minute global plan as soon as possible, each of us has to do our part. For you, the next thing to do is to try out satellites and trial flight mechs. ”

"Well, we can't wait."

"Please be patient. I'm going to put Overwatch 1 into geosynchronous orbit first, and then it will be watching over Midtown day and night. ”

In the new era of the end times, there is no need for a rocket to launch a satellite, but like a food delivery, a seventh-level booster like Lin Zaishan directly crosses the satellite into space. This is also the reason why satellites cannot be built too heavy, the heavier they are, the higher the requirements for space spanning abilities, and the greater the energy consumption caused. If it's just on the ground, who knows what will happen in a dangerous environment like space?

It only takes a few seconds to travel back and forth between Zhongcheng and the Watchman space stop, but in order to ensure that the satellite can work normally, Lin Zaishan still surveyed and watched nearby for more than half an hour before returning to the ground.

He returned this time to learn the lesson of the last time he fell into the woman's room in Tianzhu Blue Ruocheng, and made accurate positioning in advance.

When everyone saw him return, they all reported the good news, "Captain, it has been confirmed just now that Watchman 1 is all right. Correspondence was carried out with designated locations in Midtown. At present, the real-time speed has reached 2.5T/s. ”

Zhiyang Yang focused the surveillance footage of Watchman 1 on Xiao Sa, who was practicing energy flow attacks on the playground of Midtown University, and whispered: "Captain, from this point of view, your girl is convex and backward, very punctual!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Ye Jingying will be unhappy when she hears it. In addition, Xiao Sa and I are just friends. ”

Xu Yuxin on the side smiled ambiguously, "Mr. Lin, are we going to make and launch satellites again?" ”

"Well, the more Watchman satellites there are, the stronger and safer we are. On my orders, from today onwards, we will work overtime to produce 30 Watchmen in 72 hours and put them into orbit. Ordered Wu Chaoqun to lead the top elite team out to annihilate the insect swarm and harvest the star soul. By the way, I'm going to design an automatic Star Soul collection device right away, and the capacity of the receiving dish that everyone used before was too limited. ”

Three days later, Zhongcheng exceeded the scheduled target, launched a total of 42 Watchman satellites, and initially achieved full coverage of global communications. In this way, as long as you sit at the ground headquarters in Midtown, you can see the real-time situation at any location on the earth's surface at will, regardless of day and night and meteorological conditions.

This brings a whole new game to Midtown's tech elite – Watching the Earth. Driven by strong curiosity, Xu Yuxin, Zhiyangyang and others left Lin Fuzi's automatic monitoring to use, and manually found out the distribution of all the human survivor settlements and the main dens of the Zerg that currently exist on the surface.

These are all information that Lin Zaishan is more concerned about, and he himself deliberately investigated the super battleship anchored in the Yellow Sea and the New City across the ocean when he was watching the game on the earth, and he was sure that both of them were normal.

"Captain, with the Watchman satellite system, our post-apocalyptic real-time strategy game will include the entire earth in view, thus truly realizing 'instant' and 'immediate vision'. ”

Xu Yuxin interjected: "Don't forget, the Watchman satellites are all capable of long-range precision attacks. With a single command, we can attack any target on Earth in less than 1 second. I can optimistically assert that the plan to hit the earth in one minute has been initially realized. ”

"Captain, let's try it out, shall we?" Zhiyang's heart is itchy and unbearable.

"Okay." In the past 72 hours, Lin Zaishan, who has been going back and forth to space and launching satellites N times, has declined, but his mentality is getting better and better. "Master Lin, randomly select and target 24 Zerg targets in different regions of the world."

"The target has been selected, please review." Lin Fuzi displayed the real-time picture of the selected bugs on the big screen, all of them were mid-to-high-level bugs.

"Conduct a single-round long-range fixed-point optical and magnetic energy attack first."

In less than 0.1 seconds, all 24 Zerg targets were hit by a round of optical and magnetic energy. Lower-level or weaker opto-magnetic bugs were killed on the spot, but 8 high-level bugs still survived.

Lin Zaishan then ordered: "Carry out a round of code flow attacks on the remaining bugs. ”

After the attack, the bodies of 3 insects exploded, the star souls were severely damaged, and the remaining 5 were controlled and began to slaughter their kind.

Lin Zaishan nodded, very satisfied with the actual combat effect of the watchman. He was about to give the order to celebrate, when he suddenly received an urgent message from Wu Chaoqun and others:

"At the Midtown headquarters, our top elite squad was besieged by an incredible number of swarms at P8, 420 kilometers northwest of Midtown. The swarm has encircled us and constructed a solid energy barrier in the outer ring. We are currently unable to make space crossing, so please support us as soon as possible! ”
