Chapter 651: Project Death Star (Part II)
Now that the edict has been issued, the entire empire is busy with the biggest project ever!
Yes, throughout the history of the human world, among all the major engineering projects that have been implemented by dynasties and countries for various purposes, this Death Star ship project is indeed the largest super project with the largest scale, the most money, manpower and material resources!
Even the original human genetic optimization project, its scale and various resources consumed, are far inferior to the current project. Of course, there is not much comparison between the two because of the different times, but it is enough to show the ambition of the imperial government today!
Out of the need for secrecy, the R&D and final assembly base of the Death Star Ship chose the Jingfeng Star Domain, which is adjacent to the Imperial Capital Star Domain.
There was already a mobile starfortress production base in this place, so it could be used as a good cover, and the various infrastructure was ready-made and ready for immediate use! In addition, the proximity to the imperial capital, heavy troops and sanitation, and there is no need to worry about safety.
Led by Jin Yue, Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Industry, a special project engineering team was established, and its decision-making committee members included Gurungs, Luo Hanxing, Su Shangqing, Bernard and others, who were directly responsible to His Majesty the Emperor!
Yun Haoyu gave the project "special priority above all actions". All the resources of the empire will be satisfied with it first! Whether it is manpower, materials, source crystal, technology and other needs, they will be solved in the first time!
Since the demonstration of the plan had already begun, and with Feng Lanxi's mind, of course she understood the significance of this project to the Starlight Empire, coupled with her understanding of Yun Haoyu's temperament, she had already concluded that this was a project that would inevitably be launched! Therefore, the preparatory work has been carried out almost in the early stage, and when the edict is officially promulgated, the project will soon be on the right track!
In the following period, a large number of giant engineering ships carrying countless equipment, materials and raw materials continued to sail into this star field, as well as scientists and technicians drawn from all over the empire.
According to the actual situation, the entire project is divided into one hundred and thirty-nine sub-projects, each of which is divided into dozens to hundreds of sub-projects, each of which has a dedicated person in charge!
Because the project is so large, it involves many problems that cannot be completely solved by a single department of the empire. Therefore, in addition to the strong support of the military, it has also integrated tens of thousands of scientific giants in various fields of the empire, including many authoritative figures who are famous in the sea of stars, more than 500,000 elite scientists with the title of academician above the third level, and more than 30 million senior experts and senior engineers of all kinds at the next level!
There are more than 400 state-level laboratories, more than 3,000 advanced research centers, more than 17,000 first-class institutions of higher learning, and more than 300,000 large industrial manufacturing groups in the empire. There are more than 10 billion technicians who directly and indirectly serve this super project!
The people who work in the R&D and final assembly base of the Death Star Project have at least a doctorate degree or above, and even those odd jobs are all master's students who have just graduated from colleges and universities!
All kinds of technical problems in the project are required to be solved in the first time, and a lot of computing resources need to be occupied for this! Jin Yue ordered three new supercomputing centers to be built near the assembly base, and set up 600 of the empire's most advanced "Dailan" giant optical brains to deal with all technical problems on the Internet! In order to ensure the normal operation of these optical brains, a large energy center has been built to supply their energy consumption!
Compared with the mobile interstellar fortress, the performance of the various high-strength alloys used in the Death Star ship is two major technical levels higher than the former! To do this, it is necessary to use a large amount of mineral raw materials, and then use a new smelting process technology for deep purification!
Fortunately, with the current territory of the Starlight Empire, all kinds of minerals required for the project can be found in the countless resource star fields within the territory! Although the demand is larger, there are many semi-finished products after preliminary smelting in the National Metal Reserve Center, and the decision-making committee, after consulting the emperor, ordered all the reserve bases to be opened, and the supply of the required amount of the project is given priority without restrictions!
New large-scale smelting and processing centers have sprung up, and huge transport fleets have sprung up and forth between the major mines of the empire, sending hundreds of millions of tons of metal raw materials to the processing centers, and then carrying the finished products to the final assembly base, for which more than a dozen special lanes have been opened!
There are also heavy element fusion reactor units as the energy core of the Death Star ship, deep space detection radar systems, hyperspace communication and surveillance systems, multiple composite energy shield generation systems, new planetary-level destruction main guns, various carrier-based fighters, mechas, missiles and a series of ancillary weapons and equipment! They all have to be greatly improved, or even redesigned, so that they can work in tandem with the Death Star ships!
Of course, except for the fifteen bigwigs on the decision-making committee, no one else knew the full plan of the project! Coupled with the cooperation of the "Big Three" of the Imperial Intelligence Community, such as Luo Hanxing, Su Shangqing, and Li Xingyan, the secrecy of the project was done quite well, and it was not until the Death Star Ship came out and was put into the battlefield for the first time that the enemies of the Empire woke up like a dream!
According to the memories of the people around Yun Haoyu: "In the year before the advent of the Death Star ship, His Majesty the Emperor had to personally inquire about the progress of the project every night before going to bed, and if there was a problem, he would always deal with it as soon as possible, and if it could not be solved immediately, he would immediately wake up the ministers from the bed and hold an emergency meeting until a solution was found!" ”
In this way, with the support of the Empire's monarchs and ministers at all costs, some of the special components of the Death Star ship finally arrived at the final assembly base in August, and assembly began immediately.
A few years ago, no major country in the human world could afford such an unimaginably large project. Even the Gnaslok Empire will have its national economy dragged to bankruptcy by this astonishing scale project!
Only the current Starlight Empire has such a family background to support this unprecedented super plan! Of course, another key reason is the inheritance of Yuangu technology!
Yun Haoyu didn't think about it, he went to the Bojiang Empire and tried to open the third Yuangu base, but later after listening to Feng Lanxi's opinion, he gave up for the time being.
The scientific and technological knowledge obtained in the second base, with the current capabilities of the empire, will also take a long time to fully digest, and the things in the third base will inevitably be more advanced, even if you get it back now, it will only be for the sake of dry watching, and it will not be useful for a while, so it is better to wait-
Mittwick Domain, the capital of the Rockefeller Empire.
“…… Vita, you tell me the truth, the situation is ...... How, exactly? In the inner hall of the imperial palace, an old hoarse voice with a hint of anger sounded intermittently.
On the wide couch, old Anderson, whose face was pale and flushed, struggled to prop up his shriveled body, staring coldly at a frightened man in front of him.
The chief court physician named Vita couldn't bear the emperor's cold gaze, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Weichen can only say that the situation is ...... Not optimistic, very not optimistic! ”
"If there is no anti-heaven means, then the current level of medical technology in the empire can no longer play any role!"
The emperor said impatiently: "How many days are there?" ”
"Up to ...... Twenty days! Weta gritted her teeth.
"What? The last time you ...... Didn't you say there was a ...... More than two months? Anderson asked, incredulously.
Vita wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, are you ...... didn't listen to Wechen's proposal at all, and still ...... every night Lucky to be the princess? ”
"You should understand that your current physical condition if ...... If you still do this, the consequences will be serious! ”
Anderson's face couldn't help but darken, and finally looked away from his aggressive gaze, and he asked unwillingly, "Is there really no way?" With such a vast empire, supreme power, endless wealth, and thousands of stunning beauties, how could I die like this? ”
Suddenly, he sat up as if he was convulsed, a terrifying cold light erupted in his dim and godless old eyes, and his thin and old fingers grabbed the imperial doctor's arm, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "No! There must be a way, it must be—"
"Vita, you tell me that there must be a way to prolong my life, you say...... Isn't that so? ”
Looking at the old emperor's hopeful and crazy eyes, Vita's body trembled involuntarily, he had served this master for decades, knowing that the emperor at this time was the most dangerous time.
He was sure that if he answered the slightest inappropriately, he would be plucked off by the angry emperor! But it was impossible to remain silent, so he had to bite the bullet and say:
"Your Majesty, in fact, there is a way, if the Imperial Academy of Sciences can develop a higher-level genetic optimization reagent, then Your Majesty's body will not only be able to recover smoothly, but also have an extra life span of nearly a hundred years!"
Anderson's face was overjoyed, and then it darkened again, and he said disappointedly:
"Those wastes who only know how to complain, the funds I have given them over the years have been increased again and again, and countless source crystals have been smashed down, but what have they done? The seventh-level optimization potion developed couldn't even pass the animal experiment, and I had high hopes for them, but it didn't bring me even the slightest bit of good news! ”
"Your Majesty, I heard that the big country in the northern part of the Star Sea already has a mature seventh-level optimization reagent," Vita said tentatively, "Didn't you already send an envoy over to negotiate with the young emperor?" If he can say yes, your problem will be solved! ”
(The next chapter may be late, but it will definitely be sent out!) )
