Chapter 108: Althea's Trip to the Stars
The Manning System, Planet 8, is also known as Althea.
After Althea completed the implantation of the memory and cognitive system and measured the IQ of 69.2 points, the Manning family celebrated, and the patriarch Aldrich was happy, and the planet was named Althea after his granddaughter.
The military value of this planet is not high, but the scientific value and resource value are extremely high, and the fifth space research station of North Wharton is located here, and it is also an important scientific research, manufacturing, and production base of the Manning family, and its status is very important in the star group to which the family belongs.
Althea is a gaseous + liquid planet, the atmosphere is composed of more than 85% hydrogen and more than 10% nitrogen, and the planet's land is composed of liquid hydrogen and 10% metallic hydrogen with 65% mass and other trace amounts of carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, oxygen, phosphine, sulfur and other substances.
In other words, Althea is a huge planet of fuel resources!
At present, 30% of the metal hydrogen fuel used in all the physical fuel engines in North Wharton is directly produced from this resource planet, even if the mining and consumption are so large, but for the hydrogen mineral stock possessed by this planet, it is simply a drop in the bucket, almost negligible.
Because, the mass of this planet is very large, more than 100 times that of Wharton, more than 300 times that of Earth, and more than 3 times the mass of all the other large planets in the Manning system combined!
If the earthlings see this data, they will definitely be dumbfounded, think about it, the earth has been developed for thousands of years, and the news often says that the annual production of what metal has reached how many more tons, but even so, the earth's surface still looks intact, so what if it is more than 300 times larger than the earth, almost all of them are metallic hydrogen?
As an earthling, Li Yi, who came to this base accompanied by Althea, looked dull at the moment.
He suddenly felt so pitiful, others gave him a resource planet, and he was full of joy to see the treasure, but when he looked back, it was a small thing, and the value of liquid concentrated sulfuric acid in half of the atmosphere could be compared with the planetary value of almost all-metal hydrogen, which is more than 300 times the mass of the earth?
This is a real mountain of gold, and a shovel is gold!
But Althea introduced that these hydrogen resources are not the greatest value of Althea Star!
This planet also has more than 100 large and small solid-state satellites, these satellites have a very complete variety of rare minerals, and the content is also extremely rich, its Guardian 86 is the largest satellite in the Manning system, this satellite is the size of Wharton, and the volume and mass are more than three times that of the Earth!
It is precisely because of this that Althea Star has become the best place for scientific research and manufacturing bases, except for some particularly rare element raw materials, most of the other raw materials can be produced and sold here, saving costs and improving efficiency.
At present, on all satellites, there are Manning family collection, production, and processing bases, and in the space orbit more than 70,000 kilometers away from the Althea star, there is also a huge space city - Manning Space City!
This space city is the core base of the Manning family and the place of Longxing, and the family base on Wharton can only be regarded as a sub-base, most of the elites and core members of the family are resident here, only the patriarch Aldrich and rookies like Orthea who have just grown up, as family representatives, will often go to Wharton.
This time, Li Yi was invited by Orthea to visit Manning Space City.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons on the surface, but in fact, the purpose of this trip is somewhat complicated.
From Althea's point of view, of course, it is to take this opportunity to shorten the distance with Li Yi and increase the opportunity to understand each other, and at the same time, it is also to show Li Yi the strong strength and heritage of the Manning family, so as to promote this marriage as soon as possible.
As Li Yi, first of all, because the conditions have been negotiated, there is really no reason to refuse the other party's invitation, of course, the main reason is that the Manning family has such a gaseous + liquid resource planet, and it must be very mature in terms of development experience and technology.
This is only the introduction of production equipment, in addition to this, the modification of the Battle Star is also a top priority.
Since Li Yi placed an order for design and modification to the Military Research Institute, he went to the convalescent warehouse and stayed without coming out, but more than ten days have passed, and the Military Research Institute has not come up with results.
It's not that the Military Research Institute can't build such a new combat starship, but Li Yi's modification requirements are just like Li Yi's brand fighters, which are too incredible, and no one can understand what the other party's design purpose is.
Another thing is that the sample skill chip of the Li Yi brand fighter has to be made, which is a big order of 7.5 billion star coins!
7.5 billion Star Coins is just the production cost of making a set of template sample skill chips, including a one-time intellectual property fee, not to say that it is necessary to make a memory chip worth 7.5 billion Star Coins!
Of course, the money is not so easy to take.
It is said that it is a set of template sample skill chips, but in fact there are four sets, including two versions of fighter version and bomber, each version is divided into two categories: noble level and civilian level, each of which must be formulated in strict accordance with the requirements of the skill syllabus Level 1-4 skill chip.
In addition to the time-limited task of these four sets of template sample skill chips, the Military Research Institute also issued an unlimited-time task of 2.5 billion star coins, so that Li Yi can see if he can expand it to get a space fighter version, but this is not a mandatory task, and Li Yi can get it again when he has time or interest, if he can't take care of it, he can not participate, and then he can find someone who is already familiar with the performance of land and air fighters to be competent for this job.
Chip manufacturing is the simplest, so Li Yi first dealt with this matter.
During the more than ten days of retreat, Li Yi took some time out to sort out the memory of the operation skills of Li Yi's brand fighters.
To be precise, a certain amount of brain power is taken out to do this, and the memory processor can automatically summarize and sort out the cognition of a certain or certain type of professional skill under the instruction of consciousness, and then it can directly manufacture memory chips, but this process requires mental efficiency, and the memory chip cannot be absorbed and burned during the period, and the speed of sorting is halved as well as the speed of burning.
So counting the time it takes to reproduce, it takes four times as long to create a new set of sample skill chips as it does to absorb the memory chips.
Although the speed is relatively slow, in the space of more than ten days, Li Yi took a little time to complete this task, of course, this time when he came to Manning Space City, he did not dare to take out all four sets of chips at once, but relatively conservatively only handed in two sets of memory chips of different levels of the fighter version, and the remaining two sets of versions were planned to be handed in in a few days, so as not to be suspected of his knowledge quotient.
In order to keep it secret, the memory chip was directly handed over to Althea, and now Althea is the representative of the Manning family who stayed with Li Yi, and is fully responsible for all matters related to Duke Li Yi, well, including life, as long as the other party is willing......
Perhaps in order to gain Li Yi's favor and trust as soon as possible, Althea also opened a small back door for Li Yi, and then took it upon himself to give Li Yi a complete set of scientific research memory chips of Li Yi's brand fighters!
See clearly, this is not a skill memory chip, nor a production blueprint chip, but a scientific research memory chip!
In other words, this is a set of Level 5 chips!
A set of five-level chips about fighters, which have a lot of core disciplines with various cross-cutting natures, these chips are no longer the category of second-level and third-level disciplines, but go deep into the more detailed five-level disciplines, just listening to the name makes Li Yi unclear, such as "Coordinate Axis System and Its Conversion Principle", "Constant and Transient Turn Radius Analysis", "Introduction to Centroid Dynamics", "Roll Convergence Mode Analysis", "Tail Rotation Motion Simulation and Model"......
In short, Li Yi doesn't know what to do with these clouds, mountains and fog covers, even if he absorbs these core discipline chips, he can't understand them.
If you don't learn the fourth-level discipline "Flight Dynamics", you won't be able to understand these, and if you want to understand "Flight Dynamics", you must first learn the third-level discipline "Dynamics", and to understand "Dynamics", you have to get through the second-level discipline "Classical Mechanics", and then go up, it is the first-level discipline "Physics"!
At present, Li Yi has only learned "Physics" to level 4, and has not even mastered "Classical Mechanics", and the content of classical mechanics he understands is still learned from "Physics", which is similar to the outline outline, and he is not proficient at all, let alone the more in-depth disciplines below.
If you don't understand it, you can't understand it, it doesn't mean that there is no meaning and value in learning these, although these refined five-level core disciplines are not systematic, but if you master more of this kind of level 5 chips, you can gradually spell out a core technology system like a puzzle, and then steal to master one or more core technologies!
So Althea did this, it can be said that it is well-intentioned to say that it is good, and it is difficult to say that it is to eat inside and out, after all, she is a member of the Manning family, and it is just a matter of giving Li Yi the blueprint of the fighter, and now even a small part of the core technology has been revealed, so that Li Yi has come into contact with the level 5 chip for the first time, and has begun to touch the threshold of the scientific research field.
Of course, this is also because Althea does not think that Li Yi will be able to make much achievements in scientific research.
How much can a person who goes to land to fight a war to learn military skills, mines and fights in space to learn air combat skills, and now runs a resource planetology and various related disciplines, and also participates in scientific research and manufacturing to master a lot of messy technical theories, and then has to constantly complete the chip manufacturing tasks issued by the state and scientific research institutes, and even constantly be entangled and harassed by a few unprovoked women, how much can he achieve?
What if the IQ reaches 70 points?
Even if there is something to hide, it reaches 80 points, so what?
The so-called specialization of art, a person's brain power and time are limited, so scattered development, in the end will only become a thousand essential oils, and will never become an expert in a certain field!
In the eyes of the bigwigs of Althea and even the four major families of North Wharton, not to mention the 30-day preparation period, even if Li Yi is given another 1 year, it is impossible for the other party to absorb this set of level 5 chips, one is that there is no time, and the other is that it is not necessary, the blueprints have been given to him, and it is not that he can't build fighters and make money, and learning those deep and difficult scientific research theories is purely a waste of brain power to learn useless dragon slaying techniques.
Really, it doesn't have to be?
Li Yi didn't think so at all, after getting the level 5 chip, he inserted it into the watch while Orthea didn't pay attention to it, for a knowledgeable demon who is determined to learn all the subject chips, there is no need or need, as long as it is a memory chip, as long as it is unlearned, everything will not be refused!
