Chapter 172: Changes in the Two Earths
With the completion of the embassy, or rather the landing, the work of the Wandering Earth Envoys began.
They are only the first to arrive, and many businessmen, scholars, and politicians from the wandering Earth will continue to travel back and forth between the two Earths through the teleportation tower.
Of course, there are some people who will live directly on Earth in the Marvel Universe in order to stay and work here for a long time.
On the one hand, the coalition government has imposed certain restrictions on the number of expatriates who must meet certain conditions before they can emigrate.
On the other hand, after the large-scale invasion of the Zetarian fleet, people realized that it was safer to stay on Wandering Earth than to live on Earth in the Marvel Universe.
After all, there are 11,000 planetary engine cannons here, and they have just destroyed the invading Zetarian space fleet.
The power of 10,000 rings of the Spring Festival made the people of the two earths feel extremely amazed. With such a space defense force, what alien invaders are you afraid of?
On the other hand, on the Marvel Universe Earth, human beings have just begun to unite, and there is no space defense force yet.
In the event of a comeback of these alien invaders, wouldn't the immigrants be sent to their deaths in vain?
Next time, there will be no way to travel back to save them.
In order to ensure the safety of these expatriates, the coalition government even had to prepare an evacuation plan before it dared to allow people to relocate.
On the contrary, there are too many people who want to apply to immigrate from the Marvel Universe to the Wandering Earth, and the coalition government has to conduct a strict review and select only the most useful human elites to immigrate to the Wandering Earth.
For example, Dr. Joe Kane, who was kidnapped by Jo Lu and aboard the Ark, just stayed on the wandering earth and didn't leave.
Even if he was told the truth that he would continue to travel through the infinite plane on Earth in the future, he replied very bluntly:
"That's a lot better than our earth, which is about to be destroyed every three or five days!"
The Wandering Earth has become the envy of others, which is really a very new experience.
The Marvel Universe Earth is indeed not a safe place, as all those who live on it know very well.
They hope that the enthusiasm of immigrants to wander the earth will not fade in the short term.
Maybe it will get worse because of the ongoing crises in the future, which is not something that Qiao Lu can control.
He is not a savior, just a small member of the human race.
Saving the world has never been the responsibility of one person.
Ding Yi also came to New York through the portal, he came as a scholar to investigate the wreckage of the Dark Star that fell in New York, and that thing will not be able to be transported back for a while.
Qiao Lu also happened to have something to ask him, so he grabbed Ding Yi and asked:
"Dr. Ding, it's just in time, I have a few questions for you."
"What is it?" Ding Yi motioned for the scientific expedition group that followed him to New York to work first, while he stayed behind to answer Qiao Lu's questions.
"The main problem is, we launched a planetary engine, so what if there is one less engine on the wandering earth? It can't be a problem, right? ”
Ding Yi replied with a smile: "No, the Wandering Earth Project was originally designed with the possibility of losing a small number of planetary engines, but if there is one less, it will basically have no impact." ”
For example, in the Jupiter crisis, the Hangzhou engine was completely destroyed, but it did not affect the two crossings behind the Wandering Earth.
The 11,000-seat planetary engine must have been designed with a surplus.
Hearing this, Qiao Lu first breathed a sigh of relief, and then then asked:
"Then to be on the safe side, we still have to find a way to rebuild the missing planetary engine, how much resources and time will it take?"
"There is no big problem in terms of resources, in this war, the southern hemisphere has attracted a large number of metal fragments back, as long as the new ore veins formed in the southern hemisphere continue to be excavated, there will basically be no shortage of materials."
Now that the southern hemisphere has completely become a resource warehouse for the wandering earth, directly using the earth's gravity to suck the metal fragments of the battleship in space can add a large area of exposed metal veins to the southern hemisphere.
Therefore, the metal material is basically inexhaustible, and even the current mining progress of the southern hemisphere vein is far from catching up with the speed of its replenishment.
This is an extremely efficient renewable resource.
"Then it's time."
Qiao Lu also sensed this, and based on four months of traveling through a plane (one of which was in hyperspace), the construction speed of the planetary engine must not be fast enough.
A large project like a planetary engine, no matter how abundant manpower is, will take at least a few years.
What can I do?
Ding Yi replied, "So we are now in a hurry to study how to use the Tinder energy to build the machine. You have also seen the effect of the fire source, and use it to transform machinery, no matter how complex the structure can be transformed in an instant. So we're also thinking about how we can make the Tinder source the machinery we want. If it can be done, no matter how complex and huge the mechanical engineering can be built in the blink of an eye. ”
Qiao Lu immediately remembered that there was this option described by Ding Yi in the system science and technology library, and that was the special research project [Tinder Transformation].
Special Research Project: Tinder Modification
Project Brief Introduction:
Cybertron's energy core, the Tinder Source, has the ability to transform machinery and turn it into a Transformer, and it's amazing how powerful it is.
If we can get the source of the fire, maybe we can also master this kind of tinder modification technology.
And it's not just about applying it to the production of Transformers, it's about how to make the Tinder Source transform and even make machinery exactly what we want, including whether or not to give it life is up to us.
With this amazing retrofit technology, we are able to achieve a mechanical engineering manufacturing speed that is as fast as we can imagine.
For large-scale mechanical engineering that would have taken months or even years to manufacture, we only need to make the complete design drawings, and the rest can be done by Tinder, as simple as printing it out.
In the future, whether it is a planetary engine, a space station, or an interstellar battleship, it will be as easy as building blocks for us.
R&D needs: Tinder source, Cybertron Tech Temple information
Accelerated Research: 40,000 civilization points
If this technology can be developed, there will be no need to worry about how long it will take to build a planetary engine.
Not to mention 11,000, as long as there are enough resources, it is not a problem to build more than 20,000 at all.
The only downside is that the 40,000 civilization points required is too much.
But this is not completely unimaginable, at present, Qiao Lu already has more than 30,000 civilization points in his hands, plus 10,000 civilization points to complete the task after crossing again, this technology can be successfully exchanged.
It seems that these civilization points are not spent, and there must be fewer and fewer planetary engines on the wandering earth.
What's more, in the future, the Wandering Earth will have to build its own space fleet, without this technology, just a lowest-level frigate will not know how long it will take.
[Tinder Transformation] can be booked in advance as Qiao Lu's next technology that must be exchanged.
"I see, thank you for answering my question, Dr. Ding." Qiao Lu thanked Ding Yi.
Ding Yi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, this is what I should do." ”
In any case, Qiao Lu finally found a solution, and he didn't have to worry about the problem of fewer and fewer planetary engines.
As for what kind of role [Tinder Transformation] can play, we will not know until we travel to hyperspace.
With such black technology, it is just around the corner for mankind to form its own space fleet.
The Navigator space station may also be rebuilt as a result, at least as a communication satellite and space experiment station, the Navigator space station is still quite practical.
