On December 5, 4632 in the galactic calendar, people slowly walked from the solemn atmosphere of the funeral of the old prince, and life began to be daily.

In the morning, Ming Luo ordered people to send animal specimens and giant beast genetic samples of the Andromeda galaxy to Blue Shield University for research, the Silver Wing has returned on December 4th, and there is also an Elephant-class transport ship that came back, as well as the transport fleet of the Andy family, because there is no military strategic weapons this time, directly from the border jump port near the central star region of the MiG Federation, jump to the border jump port near the central star region of the Blue Shield, and did not transfer back home from the central star region, and the MiG Federation transported a large number of mineral resources to pay for the cost of the warship, While the Silverwing family's transports carried various goods purchased from the MiGs, the Silverwing brought back a batch of biological specimens, as well as genetic samples of the behemoth.

On the afternoon of December 5th, Ming Luo took the Silver of the Silver Group to the No. 347 experimental base of the Greenland Star System, passed through the shopping paradise of Blue Shield Victor Star to meet the Red Elephant transport ship, and arrived at the No. 347 experimental base on the afternoon of December 12, at this time the base was brightly lit, a 300-meter diameter headlight emitting a soft yellow light hung over the White Elephant, Mingluo came to the command center of the White Elephant, told everyone in the base the news of the death of the old man, everyone was silent, and bowed three times in the direction of the capital, Some old scientists even shed tears, Tubo didn't say a word, and went back to the dormitory alone to take out the treasured Tianhe Supreme, poured three cups, and kowtowed three times to the photo of the old man, "Your Majesty, go all the way, Tubo will still be your guard in the next life." ”

On the evening of December 5, the entire base stopped all entertainment activities, and the staff stood in various districts to watch the video of the funeral of the old prince, and when the video ended, Tubo shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Everyone shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

On December 6, Ming Luo came to the White Elephant from the Silver Elephant, and there was a 35-kilometer-long medium-sized dock under the 50-kilometer-long Nameless outside the White Elephant, and twelve 10-kilometer-long mechanical arms stretched out on both sides of the dock and in front and behind, and the White Elephant had been separated from the Nameless and lined up 10 kilometers next to the dock, and the White Elephant and the dock were connected by three metal pipes with a diameter of 100 meters.

Mingluo walked into the center of the projection area, looking at the structural projection of the nameless number in the projection area, at this moment, many areas of the nameless number have been arranged with stereoscopic projection sensors, and combined with the measured data to make a data model, Mingluo put on the sensing gloves, and shouted to the panel on the back of the glove: "System, please go to the gate of the nameless number No. 1," In an instant, the surrounding projection changed, showing the scene of the nameless number at the gate, the first gate was the first gate to open, and a spaceship was flying out of it in the projection, Fly out through Mingluo's body.

"Enter Corridor No. 1." The projection moves quickly and evenly, the corridor is 600 meters high, 2,000 meters long, the outer entrance is 1,000 meters wide, and after 200 meters deep, the width of the corridor reaches 2,200 meters, and on both sides are the sliding gate retraction area, as well as the equipment area, and now there are only two huge door panels left on each side in the door slot.

"System, please display the nameless full-body virtual image projection in situ at the same time," in the Yongdao scene, a transparent nameless number was immediately projected, the nameless shell was marked with a thickness of 200 meters, the inner shell was 600 meters thick, and the sandwich space was 1,200 meters thick.

"Please go to the gate of the first house." The scene immediately changed, switching to the No. 1 inner gate at the end of the corridor, Ming Luo wore gloves and tapped on the void, and quickly left the No. 1 inner gate in the projection, and came to the center of No. 1 hangar, where several three-hundred-meter-high mecha were cleaning up the small ship hulls piled up in the No. 1 hangar, the only microgravity vacuum environment made solid debris splash everywhere, and several small mechas, holding a huge bucket to catch the debris that fell out of the ship's hull.

"System, please go to Hangar No. 2." The projection scene moved quickly, and Ming Luo's body passed through several mechas, and continued to pass through a door three hundred meters wide and high, and came to the No. 2 hangar, which was also cleaning the small ship shell.

"System, please switch to cabin six." The projection immediately changed to a scene inside Cabin Six, where the cleanup had been completed, with hundreds of green laser lights showing the outline of the cabin and red laser lights showing the doors and doors.

"System, please switch to platform 48 in the sixth area of the mezzanine." The projection scene was immediately converted to the mezzanine between the inner shell and the shell, and the virtual image of the nameless number showed that this was the outside of the No. 6 cabin, and the detail projection was located in front of a large horizontal circle, Ming Luo clicked on the detailed drawings of this cylinder, which turned out to be a round pipe, with a diameter of one thousand meters, a wall thickness of three hundred meters, an inner diameter of four hundred meters, and a length of ten thousand meters, the exit is an oblique section, located in the surface part of the side surface of the front end of the nameless number, and the round pipe has an elliptical cover with a width of five hundred meters at the curved surface, and the cover can be opened outward through the support rod of the mezzanine energy.

"System, inside the Forty-Eight Tube."

"I'm sorry, there are no sensors installed in this area, and there is no projection function."

"Switch to the inside of the nozzle of the front No. 4 engine."

"I'm sorry, there are no sensors installed in this area, and there is no projection function."

Mingluo wandered around the mezzanine at will, there were huge columns everywhere to connect and support the inner shell, the smallest column was only 100 meters in diameter, the largest column was four huge square pipes that wrapped the hangar to the outside corridor, the width of the large side of the square tube with a wall thickness of 300 meters reached 3,500 meters, and the width of the small side was 1,400 meters, which was a behemoth in the 1,200-meter-thick mezzanine space.

An hour later, Ming Luo finally had a general understanding of the situation of the nameless name, turned off the panoramic projection, took off his gloves, came to the general command area, and sat down with Tu Bo and Professor Chen Hesheng, the head of the academic department of the scientific research department.

"Brother Tubo, how long will it take to complete the cleanup of the nameless name?"

"About half a year."

"Okay, now there is no hurry, now the top priority is to find a way out of the nameless, brothers can't live in this isolated place every day, Professor Chen, is there any new achievements in the scientific research department at present."

"Hey, there is still no breakthrough result, the technology that made her is too much beyond our scientific and technological level, we have simulated it, she can fully resist the tearing force and pressure of the black hole, some people even speculate that the nameless name is used by a certain civilization to study black holes, some people think that she crossed the black hole countless years ago, and some people think that she crossed over from another universe, as a scientific researcher, we can't guess so wildly, but in the face of this god-like existence, we can only guess like a fairy tale. So far, we don't know exactly what is inside a black hole, whether it's matter that has been compressed to the extreme, or whether it's a completely mixed substance and various fields, or if it's a distorted space-time, and then the black hole's tremendous power connects space somewhere, and so on, all of this we don't know. ”

"Can you deduce what kind of engine she has?"

"No, there are no lids in the back three thrust engine compartments, there is no residue in them, the first four smaller deceleration engine compartments and the surrounding auxiliary engine compartments have a little residue because of the covers, they have been comprehensively tested, the time is too long, we can't deduce their working mode, and we can't tell what the propellant is, the analysis of the internal residue of the nameless spacecraft, the interior of the spacecraft has experienced very strong radiation radiation, and traces of excessive dose radiation have been found around the equipment pipe fracture of the tail engine, There are traces of ion storms, some of which are more than billions of years old, some people speculate that the nameless floated in a certain area of dense nebula gas in the giant molecular cloud for a certain period of time, as the nebula evolved into a gaseous planet, more and more gas entered the nameless, and when the gaseous planet began to nuclear fusion into a star, the huge ion storm and the nuclear explosion shock wave entered the nameless through the tail engine, and at the same time, the power of the stellar nuclear explosion threw the nameless into the starry sky at high speed, and the gas in the nameless was ionized by high temperature and high radiation. Ejected from the tail engine, Nameless flew at high speed in the starry sky of the universe, formed a meteor after the internal gas was exhausted, and finally crashed into this asteroid belt, after colliding with countless celestial bodies, the kinetic energy was released, and finally became a member of the asteroid belt was discovered by our prospecting team, and most of the objects inside the Nameless were destroyed by ion storms and shock waves, forming an ionic state that was scattered into the starry sky together, and now no traces of space technology have been found in it, it may have been destroyed, it stands to reason that such an advanced civilization, It should have mastered space technology, of course, these are all speculations, but we have no better explanation.

"Then, Professor Chen, can we just use the Nameless as the main body and use our technology to convert her into a starship."

"Yes, we have made preliminary calculations, and the Nameless can be completely re-equipped."

Ming Luo nodded, turned his head and asked Tubo: "Big brother, do you have any eyebrows about the handling of the nameless name?" ”

"After so long, everyone has come up with a reluctant solution, which is to redesign a super giant starship, the structure, internal and external pressure resistance and protective shell of the starship are fully imitated and designed according to the geometric dimensions of the nameless name, in the construction process, we transported the built shell away and pushed it into the star to destroy, and replaced it with the nameless as the hull to continue to build, and the silver group needs to build a ship shell production plant in the mine attachment outside, and also needs a super starship final assembly dock, before and after the shell is completed, before and after entering the dock, Once the starship is completed, even if the secret is leaked, there are various data of the shell construction process, material supply documents, workers' personal experience and other real experiences, no one will believe that the shell in it is a super creation, before and after the construction of the starship, we released countless rumors of truth and falsehood, and no one will believe it, because the construction of such a huge starship is an industrial miracle in itself, and at that time, even if we people say it ourselves, Others will only think that we are bragging, advertising for the silver group, and we can really return to society. ”

"To build such a large starship, with a volume of four trillion cubic meters, the financial, material and manpower required will be an astronomical amount, and the background of the Silver Wing family will also hurt the muscles and bones, and there is no need to use such a large starship now, and it is difficult to explain to the family members the purpose of building such a large starship."

"I hope that the situation has developed to the point where such a large warship is needed, didn't you talk about finding a way to allow private armed forces to equip strategic weapons outside Orion's arms last time, what is the situation outside now?"

Mingluo handed the personal computer to Tubo, who downloaded the information to the base's internal network and browsed the information with Professor Chen.

Ming Luo held his forehead with his left hand and said: "The legislation of private armed equipment and strategic weapons is not a big problem, and the way for the Nameless to go to the sun has also found a way to solve it, and now how to find a logical reason for the construction of such a huge starship." ”

Tubo: "I took a look at the current situation, and it is estimated that there will be several countries that need to build larger warships, and I looked at the situation of your conflict in the Andromeda system, which exposed the characteristics of weak firepower and weaker protection of medium-sized warships. I estimate that with the current situation, the medium-sized battleships of various countries will withdraw from the main battle weapon sequence, and the main battleships in the future will be dominated by warships of more than 20,000 meters, and today's interstellar motherships are expensive, have a large number of personnel, have no mobility, no speed, no super main guns, and no autonomous defense capabilities, such warships are not suitable for dealing with outside civilizations, only military fortresses, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers are suitable for fighting this kind of hard-fought symmetrical war, and are also suitable for targeting enemies who are stronger than themselves, In the future, the interstellar carriers will develop in the direction of providing repair, maintenance, replenishment, and storage for battleships, especially in the starfields far from the Orion Arm, which may not be necessary. Now that the Motu Empire has suffered defeat, I think that countries will definitely be more nervous and have a greater sense of crisis, and if a battleship close to a small military fortress is designed, many countries will still be interested, after all, military fortresses have almost no mobility. ”

Minluo: "Remember, the Minister of Defense of the MiG Federation revealed that they have plans to build small fortresses, and they want to build military fortresses with some mobility, and if they design a battleship that is slightly larger than the Nameless, they may be more interested." ”

Professor Chen: "If you build more than one of these warships, the cost will be much lower, such a huge battleship is close to the limit of today's industry, the unit cost is very high, if you build multiple such warships, the cost will be much lower, if the size is further increased, then it is more suitable to build a military fortress with very low acceleration." ”

Ming Luo: "The question now is, as a family or a business, do you need to equip such a large starship. ”

Professor Chen: "If you start from the perspective of scientific research, you need to do it or not, when you need to go to distant star fields to study certain astronomical phenomena, such as to study supernova explosions at close range, find wormholes, carry out planetary modification, etc., such a huge starship must be very efficient when used to arrange a large-scale jump port." Also, after entering a new star field, you must not rely on a starship to sail to a distant place to build a jump platform, the best way is to use an unmanned starship to open the space for random jumps, jump over and release the jump platform, this side follows the jump platform with the past, the speed of expansion in this way must be fast and effective, but the success rate is very low, if there is a huge starship carrying countless unmanned starships of this pathfinding nature to the opposite side of the wormhole, it will definitely speed up the speed of control and development of new star fields, in this case, this behemoth needs to be equipped. ”

Tubo continued: "Militarily, such a large battleship often means that the firepower is strong, the defense is strong, the survivability is strong, and the deterrence is also great, and the overall strength of the centaur arm and the immortal arm on both sides of the Orion arm is more than ten times stronger than the Orion arm, fortunately, they have not produced a hegemon country, but it may only be a matter of time before they appear super strong countries, so the Orion arm needs more powerful weapons at all, and if it is to develop into other galaxies, it needs more powerful weapons." ”

Ming Luo: "It seems that I have to go back to sell arms, only if we sell at least one of these warships, the cost of building our own warships will be settled, and we will not be obtrusive and attract attention with such large equipment in the outer land, and the other members of the family will be able to explain the past." ”

Tubo: "It's time for dinner, let's go over for lunch." ”

The three of them walked out of the command center, took the elevator for a few minutes, and came to the living area, where many people were already eating in the various canteens in the living area.

Ming Luo said strangely: "I feel that there are many more couples than before." ”

Tubo: "There are no recreational activities at the base, and there are few places to go, falling in love is the best way to eliminate loneliness and loneliness, Professor Chen, do you say it?" ”

Professor Chen laughed twice, and Mingluo asked, "Is there enough contraceptives at the base?" If it is not enough, add a batch of contraceptives to the purchase list, the medical force here is not enough, if the newborn is more passive, it is currently isolated from the world, which is not conducive to the growth of the child, or try not to appear a small baby. ”

Tubo: "It's enough, but we still need to add maternal and infant supplies, and next time we need to add two nurses who are good at delivering and nursing." ”

"Okay, what's your mental state now?"

Tubo: "Recently, the work tasks have been relatively tight, and because of the nameless name, there are new things every day, and everyone is full of excitement, and there are many people, and I haven't found any bad conditions. ”

After the three of them finished their lunch, they made their rounds around the base.
