Text: The future of the mysterious starship

The small spaceships, mechas, and various small equipment in the Nameless returned to the White Elephant one after another, and the logistics personnel in the White Elephant began to carry supplies from the Red Elephant in large quantities, and the entire base was running in an orderly manner.

Ming Luo looked at the big monitoring screen: "Big brother, there hasn't been a bombing camp here." ”

"How is it possible, what era is it to bomb the camp, the quality of the brothers here is very high, the heads of every department are elites, the internal security forces here are basically furnishings, only the security forces patrol the perimeter every day, the previous weapons group has nothing to do now, and often helps the mineral department to open mines, most of the people here are retired soldiers, and there are a few of my old subordinates."

"When I came, I heard that the Sateng Empire next door blew up the camp, and I also felt inexplicable, those old soldiers, heh, there are no surprises, speaking of which, if I didn't ask you to come here at the beginning, with your ability, the next general adjustment, you may be the commander of the group army"

"Haha, I'd rather come here, above the commander of the group army, there are the Minister of Defense, the Prime Minister, the General Staff, the Ministry of Military Justice, and the Military Police, the Military Intelligence Agency, the Ministry of Intelligence, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate, and those logistics departments who can't be fed, the commander of the group army looks beautiful, but unfortunately he has to be controlled by people everywhere, and there are many people, which is like here, at ease, without intrigue. It's isolated, but it's full of passion and energy, and it's a place where miracles are happening every day, and I've loved it, and I'm her first captain, so that's fine. ”

"The first captain has to be you, and I hope she can cross the universe as soon as possible."

"I believe that day is not far away, it's just that how this nameless name can be born openly and honestly is a big problem, the legal experts and military researchers here have not yet found a completely reasonable and effective plan, and have thought of a lot of plans, but they are full of loopholes, first of all, her way is a problem, saying that it was made by ourselves, there is no construction record, and there is no such a big starship product in the entire Tianhe Star Field."

"I am preparing to set up a new starship design and production company, with the current technology of the Silver Group, to be able to manufacture such a large starship shell, but the cost is very high, three times higher than the current largest battleship proton shell in terms of unit weight, the final finished product is very cost-effective, the total price volume is terrifying, no one will place an order when it is designed, at least the Ministry of Defense will not place an order, it is not logical for us to place an order to buy one ourselves, even if the technology goes further and more advanced shell materials are researched, Or research a lower-cost shell crystallization method, and there is no market, that is, the possibility of Nameless being able to replace another starship is currently low. ”

"What is the situation in the outside world now?" Tubo asked,

"The probability of war is very low, the probability of local conflict is lower than before, now that various countries have announced the wormholes in their hands, the entire Tianhe Star Domain is preparing to explore the universe beyond the Orion Arm, the Andy family of the MiG Federation has discovered a wormhole leading to the Andromeda Galaxy, and we have reached a military alliance with our Blue Shield, and invited me to lead the team to study the genetic civilization over there, and I will go over to see it in person after a while, next time it will be my sister who escorts the supplies over, and the Red Elephant She will bring the crew over and drive away by the way."

"Wouldn't it be troublesome for these Red Elephant crews to stay here and go together next time, could it be that the scheduled dock has been found and they want to drive the dock over?"

"Yes, my sister bought an old shipyard abroad and put it in the Silver Group to renovate, but we basically copied one, only more solid and more powerful, hehe, with hundreds of thousands of starship ships under our family every year, operating this outdated medium-sized shipyard will not attract anyone's attention,"

"That's great, with the shipyard, our work will be faster and easier."

"It's a pity that the people and weapons here are inconvenient to take away, otherwise it would be much easier in the Andromeda galaxy, there are traces of other civilizations over there that may clash, and it is difficult to have enough private arms."

Tubo: "That's only seconded from the army, applying for escort." ”

Mingluo: "The trouble is here, this time there is no need to apply for escort, the Ministry of Defense will send the army over, many things are based on the army, unlike in the past, we apply for escort, the army is our mission, and our security company does not have strategic-level weapons and equipment, we want to go it alone without enough armed forces is unrealistic, we are fighting for the right to act independently, and we don't know what the final outcome of the negotiation will be." ”

Tubo: "It's a bit inconvenient for private armed forces not to be equipped with strategic-level weapons, but this is a no-brainer, well, if the private armed forces can be equipped with strategic-level weapons, this nameless ship may appear openly, and with it, if it is in the starry sky beyond the Orion Arm, it is possible that we can be equipped with strategic-level weapons." ”

Mingluo: "Oh, how do you say it? ”

Tubo: "When the legislation was first enacted, it was really well considered, Article 17 of the National Defense Law, within the entire scope of the Orion arm, all individual citizens of the Blue Shield Principality, private enterprises, private security forces and other social organizations and institutions shall not be equipped with strategic-grade weapons regardless of any circumstances and reasons, it is precisely this article, now we just need not to equip the Orion arm with strategic-grade weapons, the key is that the Legislative Yuan needs to pass a new law to legalize the overseas equipment of strategic weapons." ”

Ming Luo: "Such a large starship, as soon as it appears, it will definitely attract countless eyes, how to explain its source to avoid others from discovering the secret and causing snooping, and how to drive her out of the Orion Arm and where to go, is also a big problem." But you reminded me to go back and find a way to add a law to the House of Representatives that would allow or even encourage private institutions to possess strategic weapons in the star field beyond Orion's arm. ”

Tubo: "It's a double-edged sword, it's going to turn sheep into crocodiles, and I don't think anyone is going to refuse the temptation, and the members of the House of Representatives can't resist the temptation to pass such a law." ”

Ming Luo: "I believe that any civilization, only when her footprints are all over the universe, can better maintain the flame of civilization, any race, only the scope of diffusion is infinitely broad, it is possible to better continue the gene, any country, only to go to a broader world, can be more powerful."

The outside world is rich in resources and must be ferocious and bloody, the outside world is too vast, relying on government actions alone, far from enough, there are so many people in this country, there are so many enterprises and tycoons, in order to be stronger, or to change the fate of themselves and the whole bloodline, the outside world must be extremely yearning, as long as the law allows or supports private institutions to have strong armed forces outside, I believe that there will be countless people who go outside to pan for gold, and the future will be the era when the government and civil forces will go to the sea of stars together, More arms trade leads to more tax revenue and jobs, and more tax revenue can equip stronger weapons.

Another problem is the discovery of wormholes, the investment has completely exceeded the income, so far, no wormhole has been more than the output, and now it is a bit whimsical to find that the power of a family to develop a wormhole,"

Tubo: "You're planning to open the wormhole?" ”

Ming Luo: "Yes, the wormhole is completely open, and only a small fee is charged, I believe that many forces that master the wormhole will also have the same idea, and now the Andy family has taken the lead." ”

Tubo: "If there are many forces that can legally possess strategic weapons outside of the Orion Arm, then the time for the Nameless to cross the stars will be getting closer and closer. ”

Mingluo handed Tubo a computer, "Now we have to find a way to put the nameless number together with a reasonable source." I'll go back the day after tomorrow, and there's the latest news on this computer, as well as the information collected by the intelligence department, you can look at it and copy it, and I'll go around. ”

On September 12, 4632 in the galactic calendar, due to the opening of the gate of the nameless number, mecha and small spaceships were able to enter the inner area to operate, and the search work was improved many times, the entire internal area was a cylindrical space with a diameter of 8 meters and a length of 30 kilometers, which was divided into two layers by a layer of 200 meters thick, and each layer was divided into six areas by a partition of 200 meters thick, the inner area was wrapped by a 600-meter-thick eggshell, and the outermost layer was a shell of 200 meters thick, and the entire spacecraft had a diameter of 12 kilometers and a length of 50 kilometers. Like a large whale, there is a 1,200-meter interlayer between the inner and outer shells. After a day's work, three doors to the outside world were opened from the inner space, one was 600 meters high and 1,000 meters wide, and the other two were 600 meters wide and 300 meters high, and these four gates were all in the middle and rear compartments of the upper space, the narrow ones were in the middle two cabins, the wide doors were in the back two cabins, and the four cabins were stacked with many ship shells, of which there were 320 ship shells with a length of 1,500, a width of 45, and a height of 300 meters, and 3,000 ship shells with a length of 400, a width of 200, and a height of 100. There are only three hundred meters wide and high openings between each of the two compartments to communicate with each other, and the remaining eight cabins only find four small doors leading to the mezzanine, because the dust is too thick, there is no other harvest, and the mezzanine is densely packed with fixed components, the search progress is slow, and the whole base has been busy again since the morning, and it may take a long time for the staff to find out the general information of the nameless spacecraft.

On September 13, Mingluo said goodbye to the base staff and returned to the capital star on the 18th.
