Chapter 352: The Ark
The intact chariots were formed in a circle around the perimeter, and one chariot at each of the four corners went out 1,000 meters in front of the guard. Half of the fighters were on duty in the car, and half got out of the car to rest.
They expertly nailed alloy piles into the ground and then erected tarpaulins made of organic composites on them. That way, at least you don't have to be bothered by the annoying acid rain. A few more glowing sticks were erected all over the camp, and a decent camp was built.
Chu Jungui sat at the simple table, projected blueprints one by one, and discussed with the officers around him. There was a low buzz in the air, and a stubby flying machine landed outside the camp.
This is the contact method set by Chu Jungui, by launching an aircraft to a pre-set location to transmit information, every time Chu Jungui sends an order to the fortress, it will also give the location of the next communication aircraft.
The soldiers recovered the flying machine and sent it to Chu Jungui. Chu Jungui opened the shell of the aircraft, took out a biochip from it, and read the data.
Among the chips is the current state of production of the fortress, in addition to a letter from Le Mans. The letter said the team of scientists had a new idea, possibly designing a spacecraft that could repeatedly navigate storm clouds and be very cheap.
Reuse already means cheap, and on top of that, there is a very cheap one, which hits Chu Jungui's weakness at once.
A key factor in this scheme is the need for a large amount of rhenium. This metal is not found much on Planet 4, at least so far, and only a tiny fraction can be extracted from the massive amount of processed soil. Now, of course, there is a new way, and the production is quite stable and considerable, and that is the Federation tank. Of course, mechs are produced more.
Chu Jungui couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, but this matter was an impossible task for others, but in Chu Jungui, it was another matter. Chu Jungui doesn't need to clean the battlefield thoroughly, he just needs to pick up some fragments. He didn't need to completely defeat his opponent, just let the Knights of the Round Table retire for a while.
It's not that difficult, the test subject can complete half of it alone, and the remaining half of Roland can be completed by all of them combined.
In addition, new construction projects have already started. The name of the project is called The Ark, but Le Mans vaguely suggests that the layout of the Ark seems to be a little more optimized.
Chu Jungui threw the original blueprint of the ark to the chip, and the chip replied a few minutes later: the current solution is the shortest time, the least materials, and unlimited scalability. As for elegance and beauty, the chip did not mention a word.
So Chu Jungui decided that the original plan would not change.
He summoned the officers who were with him, projected the terrain around the Knights of the Round Table base, and began to study the next course of action. According to the supplies and ammunition, there will be two more battles, and then you will have to go back to the fortress to replenish it.
The Shadow of Doom Keep, Le Mans holds a personal terminal and tests the parameters of the blueprint. In front of him was the square of the fortress, which used to be the berth of transport ships, which was unusually spacious and suitable for the construction of large projects.
Yes, there is a big project under construction right in front of him.
A slab 10 meters wide and 30 meters long has already taken shape. At the moment, it is not yet finished, and the frame has just been spliced, and workers are climbing on it to add fasteners and then cover it with a layer of armor plates. Such a 60-centimeter-thick platform takes shape.
Two construction vehicles with huge drive wheels drove out of the factory and came to the slab, where the staff installed the drive wheels on both sides of the slab. The diameter of the drive wheels is 3 meters, and the suspension part integrates the functions of shock absorption, drive and steering. And the suspension arms are noticeably higher than normal, which is obviously more inclined to off-road capabilities.
In fact, there are only two steps in the process of this complex drive wheel, the large manufacturing machine creates the drive structure at one time, and then recreates the tire, and then assembles it together.
Two drive wheels are mounted at the narrow end of the platform. It turns out that 30 meters is not the length of the new platform, but the width.
Once the drive wheels were installed, workers had already begun to extend the platform forward. They moved in pieces of prefabricated frames and spliced them directly onto the original platform, thus increasing the length. When the two sides of the platform extended ten meters, two new drive wheels were delivered and mounted on the platform.
At this time, the platform was relatively stable, so the workers removed the support frame below, supported it by the drive wheels, and continued to let the platform move forward.
The frames that make up the platform are all standard one square meter, and the armor plates and sturdy parts are all standard sizes. Workers holding multi-purpose construction tools only need to put the frame in a predetermined position, click it with the construction tool a few times, and fix it, and the installation is completed. The armor plates that are later paved also have a fixed effect.
Le Mans looked at the blueprint in his hand, and the amount of work scheduled for today was to build the entire base. Once built, it will be a large platform 40 meters wide and 100 meters long, supported by 10 pairs of drive wheels. The platform is not completely enclosed, with 8 4 square meters of hollows reserved in the middle. This is where the anti-gravity engine is to be placed, as well as the upward atmospheric thruster vent.
Le Mans was a little puzzled by this design, according to the normal two anti-gravity engines are enough, but the Ark was equipped with eight in one go, is this to build a mobile base or a spaceship?
In the case of a spaceship, it is completely driven by gravity and requires an extremely complex control system, and such a spacecraft will only crash if it enters Planet 4. The Lancers also dropped a dozen ships in their early explorations, and only then honestly used the old-fashioned propelled ships.
Le Mans grabbed what little hair he had left, trying to think about the pros and cons of this design. After all, the cube chariot had already shown miraculous results before, and this larger block, no, the Ark, should also be outstanding.
It's just that Le Mans feels that it is very difficult to understand Chu Jungui's design ideas, and there are too many ideas that can only be found in the blind corners of thinking, as for those anti-human designs, needless to say. From this point of view, Xiao Kaitian has many similarities with Chu Jungui.
When it comes to opening the sky, Le Mans is both happy and troubled. As soon as Chu Jun returned, Kaitian immediately entered the working state, and the efficiency was exponentially improved. I don't know if it's because of joy or hope, or if it's because I just looked at Le Mans before?
Xiao Kaitian's growth rate and computing power are growing at a high rate, basically doubling every few days. Now Kaitian's computing power index has reached 2, although the absolute value is not worth mentioning, but the growth rate is extremely amazing, and according to the current trend, there is no end to growth in sight.
It's just that now there are more and more anti-human parts in the design of Kaitian, and in the face of Le Mans's accusations, it is still provocative:
"Why should I take care of the meaningless needs of a group of lower life forms that have not evolved? What is the waist? Why does it hurt? Also, I don't see the waist in you. ”
