Chapter 042: Warp Engine
When the food crisis was on the table, the city lord of Joey immediately thought of Liu Fei.
According to the idea of the city lord of Joey, if Liu Fei was arranged to go out to find food at this time, it would undoubtedly be the best plan, first of all, to avoid the head-on conflict between the old and new forces in the new Keduo Space City; Secondly, the city lord of Joey could take advantage of Liu Fei's departure to re-consolidate his position and increase his prestige.
What makes Joey City Lord nervous now is how to convince Liu Fei to go out and look for food.
This is a difficult challenge, after all, Liu Fei is now the de facto leader of the new Kodo Space City, and only he has the right to assign personnel.
When the city lord of Joey and a group of high-ranking people were racking their brains about how to let Liu Fei go out to find food, Liu Fei volunteered to find the door.
"I'm going out looking for food!"
Liu Fei's first sentence when he came in and got straight to the point made everyone stunned for a moment, and then secretly happy, and the city lord of Joey nodded in agreement, but Liu Fei's second sentence made a group of high-level executives stunned.
"I authorize my companion to temporarily manage the New Kodo Space City, and at the same time authorize you to assist him in his efforts to manage and rebuild the New Kodo Space City."
"Ah...... Who are your companions? The city lord of Joey was stunned for a moment, in his memory, Liu Fei had always been alone, and although that group of fierce men was loyal to Liu Fei, it seemed that they were only subordinates, not companions.
"Xiaoqiang!" Liu Fei decisively spit out two words.
"Xiao Qiang......" The city lord of Joey and everyone glanced at each other, and in his memory, Liu Fei didn't seem to have a subordinate named Xiao Qiang.
Liu Fei himself didn't know that the city lord of Joy had collected all the information related to him, and when Liu Fei said the name "Xiaoqiang", the city lord of Joy searched in his mind almost subconsciously, and he determined that there was absolutely no person named "Xiaoqiang" among Liu Fei's subordinates or the people who came into contact with Liu Fei.
"The one who pilots the silver mech, as long as you agree, I will leave immediately, and besides, when I find food, I will hand over the management of the new Kodo Space City, so you don't have to rack your brains against me."
After Liu Fei finished speaking, a pair of sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the souls of the Joy City Lord and a group of high-level people, and the Joy City Lord and a group of people suddenly coughed in embarrassment, avoiding Liu Fei's sharp gaze, under that gaze, they had a naked feeling, in their eyes, Liu Fei became more and more mysterious, it seemed, nothing could be hidden from this silent young man.
In the eyes of the Joey City Lord's group, Liu Fei is simply an omniscient person, you know, in order to avoid causing panic, the food crisis is absolutely secret, except for a few high-level people who know, the entire Keduo Space City is still in the dark, and this top-secret information, Liu Fei almost knew it for the first time, and when everyone was overwhelmed, he had already made a decision.
"Please decide right away!" Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, Liu Fei lightly urged.
"I agree with Mr. Liu." When the city lord of Joey made a decision, he thought of the silver mecha inexplicably, and vaguely, he felt that this was not a good thing, compared to Liu Fei, it seemed that the person with the silver mecha was more mysterious, until now, no one had seen his true face.
"We agree." A group of high-ranking people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"I need a spaceship with a life cycle system, enough for fifty people to live, well, I need a mecha fighting training room and a virtual training room, and I also need enough hard currency, such as rare metals, cash, etc.......," Liu Fei made a long list of requests.
"Dear Mr. Liu, I deeply admire your fearless spirit, and thank you very much for your selfless contribution to the Kodo Space City, if the square of the new Kedo Space City needs to build a sculpture, it must be you, however, I have a question to remind you of, at present, our food can only last for more than two months, and more than two months in this vast universe is almost negligible, if we can't get food during this time, There will be unimaginable human tragedy in this airspace......"
"No, six months, or more!" Liu Fei didn't wait for Joey City Lord's words to finish, and immediately interrupted.
"Six-month ......"
"Yes, six months, we now have a population of more than half a million, but we can let the vast majority of people be dormant, leaving only some people to work, then, we will save two-thirds of the food, the saved food, can allow the working people to support for a few more months, and in the intervening months, the working people can build a small space city farm, I think, with the planet as a base, the construction efficiency of the farm is much higher, with the scientific and technological strength and manpower and material resources of the Kodo Space City, six months, It is enough to build a space farm that provides food for 50,000 people, if the speed is a little faster, when the space farm produces food, there should be a surplus of reserve food, according to this model, as long as the amount of food is controlled to a minimum, and then let some people awaken in a dormant state of awakening work, under a virtuous circle, after two years, Kodo Space City will be able to wake up all dormant residents......"
"Ah...... We didn't even think of hibernation! ”
There was a commotion in the office, and people were ashamed that they had not thought of the easiest solution to the problem, but it was understandable, after all, when humans conquered the warp engine that performed the space jumping technology, the time of space travel became extremely short, the longest time was only about a year, and dormancy as a necessary means of early long interstellar voyages had become dispensable.
I have to say that this is a heart-warming suggestion, because, human beings consume very little nutrients in a dormant state, if they are dormant for several months, it is almost negligible, if you do what Liu Fei said, the crisis of the space city is not a crisis at all, in six months, there is no difficulty in building a space farm to feed 50,000 people......
Thinking of this, some high-level officials couldn't help but be secretly shocked, this young man seemed to be quite sensitive to data, and the sophistication of his thinking was even more breathtaking, he knew the current strength of Kodo Space City well, and from his expression, he showed absolute confidence in the predictions for the next few months.
"Mr. Liu, according to your train of thought, we can completely rely on our own strength to get through this difficulty!" The Joey City Lord said with confidence.
"Yes." Liu Fei nodded in agreement.
"Isn't there a need, then, for us to send people out in search of food?"
The Joy City Lord asked the doubts in his heart, obviously, he saw that Liu Fei seemed to want to leave the New Keduo Space City, if it weren't for Liu Fei's disregard for money in the casino, the Joy City Lord would even suspect that Liu Fei was suspected of absconding with money.
"No, all predictions are according to the normal trajectory, in this vast space, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, not to mention, we also have to beware of space pirates who are eyeing each other, and aliens who are waiting for the opportunity to move, even if the space pirates and aliens do not harass the space city, we must also send people out to find out why this airspace route has become quiet, is it that everyone wants to stay here forever? Leaving human society forever? Don't forget, at the moment, Kodo Space City doesn't have the ability to build warp engines......"
“……”
Suddenly, people broke out in a cold sweat.
It was discovered that they had forgotten a fundamental problem, that Kodo Space City did not have the ability to build a warp engine, and that the spaceship's interstellar jump must have a warp engine capable of breaking through the speed of light.
The warp engine is the pinnacle of human science and technology, because with the warp engine, human beings are getting deeper and deeper in the vast universe, and the manufacturing technology of the warp engine has been mastered by the six star fields, just like the nuclear weapons of the ancient earth, subject to a very strict technical blockade, space cities like Kodo Space City have no ability to manufacture warp engines at all, and the main reason why Kodo Space City has been unable to develop large space warships is also because it cannot manufacture warp engines. Warp engines on some commercial spacecraft capable of interstellar jumping are also completely dependent on imports.
If this airspace is blocked!
If Kodo Space City can't develop a warp engine from the beginning to the end!
So what are the consequences?
The consequences are very serious, more than 500,000 humans in the new Kodo space city will be abandoned by human beings forever, and the new Kodo space city will become an island in the vast interstellar space......
