Chapter 465: Super Giant Dock
Every day is so busy, no matter how powerful Xiao Yu's computing power is, no matter how fast Xiao Yu processes data, there is always endless data waiting for Xiao Yu to process in the back, and new data is being generated every moment. Xiao Yu has maintained this working state for 30 years.
At this moment, thirty years have passed since Xiao Yu came to this star system.
Xiao Yu promised to complete all the construction tasks within fifty years, but during this time, there were some new changes, and these changes caused Xiao Yu to complete the work twenty years ahead of schedule.
One of the things is that there has been a little breakthrough in the development of a new type of computer. This breakthrough is not all-round, so Xiao Yu did not set out to build a new supercomputer, but transformed and upgraded the central computer of the China spacecraft where he lives at the moment, and optimized some hardware and algorithms, which increased Xiao Yu's computing power by about 1.7 times. The increase in computing power naturally means that the construction process is accelerated.
The other thing is a suggestion that originated with Luca II.
Luca II's proposal revolves around a core, which is very simple, to put it mildly, waste recycling. What is Waste? In Luca II's suggestion, the word "waste" refers to the 80 billion ordinary intelligent creatures under Xiao Yu's command who cannot become scientists.
"As you can see, there is already a serious labor surplus in the Homeland spacecraft at this moment. Although you have gradually withdrawn your computing power and handed over all the factories that are related to life to the sapient beings themselves, these places still do not provide enough jobs. I know that at the moment, master, you are worried about the lack of computing power that restricts the construction process, so I have a suggestion, weishenme does not recruit intelligent creatures to participate in the construction mission? They may not be as efficient as the robots you control directly, but they are more than enough. I did the math. At this stage, if launched on a large scale, we can recruit at least 10 billion laborers to participate in the construction mission. How can this 10 billion labor force be compared to 100 million robots? And 100 million robots must occupy a lot of your computing power, right? ”
"Well, that's a good suggestion." Xiao Yu accepted this suggestion very happily: "That's good, the early launch, selection, organization and other matters will be completed by your Academy of Social Sciences." I'm going to hurry up and make personal life-sustaining devices and construction tools for sapient beings. I will appoint a dedicated scientist to take care of the training. ”
This is a very cost-effective thing, and the production of personal life-sustaining equipment and tools for intelligent beings can be completed through automated programs, which cannot consume much computing power from Xiao Yu at all.
In fact, Xiao Yu thought about this matter a long time ago, and the reason why he couldn't make up his mind for a long time. Allowing sapient beings to participate in their own construction tasks is due to certain concerns in their minds.
Even now. This concern in Xiao Yu's heart still exists. But. Xiao Yu planned to try, or rather, to test these intelligent creatures.
As a result, after a series of matters such as selection and training, a huge army of intelligent creatures has also joined the era of vigorous construction. Luca II is one of the most outstanding psychosocial scientists. The number of intelligent beings approaching 10 billion is well organized by Lucca II, under the constraints of various reward and punishment systems and hierarchical systems. These intelligent beings burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.
On the busy construction site, intelligent creatures wearing lightweight personal life-support devices can be seen shuttling around. The communication equipment they are equipped with can always send them the next work instructions in a very timely manner, guiding them to complete the work, and the large ecosystem built next to the construction site can provide them with services including clothing, food, housing and transportation, so that they can live a comfortable life that is not inferior to the homeland.
"For the development of our Shenzhou civilization, as a member of the Shenzhou civilization, it's time to contribute your liliang!"
"Every bit of labor we put in will become the cornerstone of our Shenzhou civilization edifice!"
The integration of practical interests and spiritual propaganda made the work enthusiasm of these intelligent creatures explode to the peak, and even Xiao Yu was a little surprised.
"Compared to them, how lazy I was in the Earth era." Xiao Yu sighed and thought in his heart.
These two things directly shortened Xiao Yu's construction period by 20 years. Up to now, the Academy of Life Sciences, the Academy of Physical Sciences, the Academy of Military Sciences, the Academy of Computing Sciences, and so on have all been completed.
The scientists happily came to these new buildings, began to verify their ideas with the complete and advanced experimental instruments here, and studied new science, and Xiao Yu entered the next period of construction tasks.
Xiao Yu wants to build at least two super giant docks, at least ten giant docks, and many more large docks. The improvement of Xiao Yu's computing power is already a predictable thing, and the scientist in charge of the Academy of Computer Science once patted his chest and said in front of Xiao Yu that he would ensure that the goal would be completed within 30 years, and that a new architecture of computers would be developed within 30 years.
Xiao Yu does not doubt this. Because of the research and development of a new architecture computer, Xiao Yu also participated in it and took on the most tasks. At the current pace, this can definitely be done in 30 years, and it won't even take that long.
Then expanding the size of the fleet became a very important thing. By studying the complete tech tree of the Merian civilization, Xiao Yu believes that the time is ripe for him to build a continent-class spaceship, and he is now ready to start work.
To build a spaceship, you need a dock, so Xiao Yu started the construction of the dock.
In Xiao Yu's plan, the continent-class spacecraft will have a length of at least 60 kilometers and a total mass of as much as 2 billion tons. To build a ship of this magnitude, the shipyard had to be bigger than it. In fact, in Xiao Yu's planning, the length of these two super giant docks will reach the order of 100 kilometers. Such a huge guy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an interstellar fortress.
The construction of a super-giant shipyard can account for almost 30% of the total construction work in the first 30 years. The amount of work is huge. It is conceivable that Xiao Yu also plans to build two such docks, as well as a giant dock for building a national-level spaceship, and a large dock for building a provincial-level spaceship......
"Luca II, I've built a lot of personal life-support equipment suitable for working in space, well, the first phase of construction has been completed, and now I'm going to start building the shipyard. You go and organize these nearly 10 billion intelligent creatures to join this project. Well, there are about 300 docks of various types, and after the docks are built. The ship's construction is much larger, before we leave the system. These people of the Shenzhou civilization. Basically, it's impossible to be idle. ”
"I believe that the people of our Shenzhou civilization will be very happy to contribute to our civilization." Luca II replied, "Master, rest assured, after leaving about 50 million workers to take care of the daily maintenance of the various bases, I will dock with the third and fifth. After completing the training of these workers, the construction force is ready to be at your disposal. ”
"Good. One thing you need to keep in mind is that these workers have a variety of supporting facilities, including housing, meals, entertainment and other equipment. must be perfected. They are contributing to our civilization, and we must not treat our people badly in these respects. ”
"I'll take care of this, please rest assured." After bowing to Xiao Yu, Luca 2 cut off contact.
"The continent-level spaceship built with the flesh and blood of alien beasts integrates the most advanced technology at this stage, and has the strongest mobility, the strongest defense, and the strongest attack power, I really look forward to it." Xiao Yu sighed slightly, "Come to think of it, the continent-level spaceship is the most powerful warship that a fifth-level civilization can make." If you want to build a planetary-level spaceship, it is estimated that it will be after the sixth-level civilization. But it doesn't matter, the Shenzhou civilization will definitely enter the category of sixth-level civilization, and the planetary-level spaceship, the Earth, and even the stellar-class spaceship, the Sun, will all show their figure in my hands. ”
"It's been a bit difficult to make the decision to have intelligent beings join the Legion." Xiao Yu sighed slightly, "Has this deviated from my original thoughts?" ”
When he first came into contact with intelligent creatures, Xiao Yu actually didn't expect so much. At that time, Xiao Yu just wanted to keep these intelligent creatures in captivity and provide them with all kinds of resources without restrictions, hoping to train scientists to contribute to his scientific and technological development. But things have developed so far, and it seems that they have deviated from Xiao Yu's original intention.
A long time ago, Xiao Yu decided to withdraw his computing power from the various factories of the Homeland spaceship and return these facilities to the intelligent beings themselves, which was the first attempt. Later, a biological corps was formed to allow intelligent beings to participate in the military liliang of civilization, which was the second attempt. Now, agreeing to Luca II's suggestion, and agreeing to involve intelligent beings in various construction tasks, this is the third attempt.
Xiao Yu saw that intelligent beings were gradually becoming a force that could not be ignored and participated in all aspects of the Shenzhou civilization. Xiao Yu doesn't know whether this change is good or bad for him, and Xiao Yu really has no way to predict what will happen in the future, but Xiao Yu thinks that at least from the current point of view, his move can still bring him certain benefits.
Xiao Yu remembered the guy who claimed to be sent by his future self. That guy said that in the future, he fell into an extremely passive situation because of the rebellion of the intelligent creatures under his command, so he had to reverse the time of the entire galaxy, and came to warn himself now. Xiao Yu didn't believe that this guy would really come here from the future, in fact, deep down, Xiao Yu had long believed that this was a ghost made by Taihao Civilization, but now, Xiao Yu remembered another aspect.
"I have never been able to determine whether the Taihao civilization is kind or malicious to me, so is there really a certain reason why the Taihao civilization insists on letting me destroy these intelligent creatures under my command? If the current process continues, the influence of intelligent beings on the entire Shenzhou civilization can only become greater and greater. Maybe one day, intelligent beings will be so powerful that they can't control me, and it's not impossible to launch a mutiny to kill me. ”
This is a dilemma, how to choose, Xiao Yu really can't come up with a decision.
"At least for now, I have not found any signs of mutiny. I will be careful to control the authority of intelligent beings, and I will not give them a chance to mutiny. I'm sure I can do that. ”
After a moment, Xiao Yu made a decision. (To be continued......)
PS: The second update has arrived. This chapter is a 3,500-word strengthened chapter, and it's a little too much, and it would be awkward to put those 500 words in the next chapter, so I'll send it all together. The third is more likely to be a little later, and it will definitely be sent before half past eight.
