Chapter 21: The Construction of the Fleet
"Hurry up! Put that one over! ”
The shouts of the void people, the roar of metal, echoed in the vast square.
Under a dusty grey sky, huge mechanical devices are lifting metal one after another, and through the vast number of virtual workers, the metal is pieced together.
Is this how they build warships?
This is the 'Construction Square', and more than sixty days and nights have passed since the general said he was going to re-invade the pom-poms.
Located on a dock in the city where Lynn first landed, there was a vast open space rarely found in a dense city, where all sorts of machines and a large number of imaginary people came and went, most of them carrying construction materials and putting them together to form something like a castle.
A battleship.
However, this battleship is a half-finished product, and its body is wrapped in a metal frame for hundreds of meters, and many virtual people go up and down on this shelf, carrying out the work of assembling warships.
Crawling in front of the shelves were some huge mechs, which Lin found included the ones they had seen when they attacked pompoms, but they were used to carry heavy loads.
The Void Warrior's warship is not made out of thin air, but it seems that there is a trend all over the world to transform a warship that was previously used for navigation into a warship in the Void.
The Void Folk used to have a huge number of seafaring ships, but they are now slowly starting to scrap these things and transform them into flying machines.
As a result, their air will be very crowded.
I don't know how long it will take to build this battleship? Pompoms flew through the air, observing the bustling construction plaza from the sky.
It's just a warship. Other warships are built together in other cities or countries. This is mainly due to the relative lack of open space. Usually the ground of the city is filled with buildings, leaving no empty space.
Coupled with the fact that building this kind of thing, there is usually a lot of opposition from the imaginary people.
The pom-pom flew towards the exit of the construction plaza, and a large number of vanity people could be seen gathered at the guarded entrance, shouting in protest and expressing their displeasure with the construction of the battleship.
This is mainly said to be due to the construction of warships, which increases the amount of something called 'tax', which leads to the opinions of many false people. But it's strange that they can leave their jobs and come here to protest, and the average virtual citizen has little time to relax.
There are also some virtual people who protest mainly because they think that the construction of warships is redundant, and it will attract alien invasions or something.
However, in addition to the protesting imaginary people, there are other imaginary people mixed in.
"It's said that the first attack failed, right?" "Please elaborate on the failure!" "What was it that made the first colonization fail? Is it an alien civilization? Are they more skilled than us? What kind of weapons do they use? How many of them are there? ”
Some of the vanity mixed in with the protesters kept asking a lot of questions to the guards guarding the door, but these imaginaries were not resting, because that's their job.
This group of virtual people is called 'journalists', and they specialize in finding many interesting events and publishing them as 'news', and there are quite a few virtual people who like to watch the news, and the news can be said to be very influential. Once it appears, it spreads throughout the country and even the whole world.
But how exactly do these journalists know about their defeat in pom-pom?
This is, of course, a sue for them.
The general had been doing his best to stop the news from spreading. If this kind of news spreads, there will be countless imaginary citizens who oppose the construction of warships.
Despite living in this environment, these imaginary people are still very timid, they are afraid of change, they are afraid of war, they just want to maintain their current lives.
Lin found that most of the virtual people were in this way, and some of them were tired of the current situation and looked forward to war and the end of the world, but there were relatively few such virtual people.
"Get out of here! Or I'll shoot! A virtual soldier standing at the door raised his weapon and pointed it at the reporter in front of him.
However, as if they were not afraid of death, these reporters held a long stick for recording and kept saying to the soldiers: "You are going to shoot now, does it mean that you don't want to tell the truth?" Does that mean you want to threaten us to leave? Does this mean that the failure was real? ”
Seeing this, the guard seemed to be extremely angry, and he took out a small square and asked at it, "Can I shoot?" ”
"Don't shoot, I'll explain it to them myself."
"General!" The guards seemed rather surprised that the general's voice came out of the cube.
As a result, the guards here had no choice but to keep their mouths shut, looking at the group of reporters who were asking questions frantically with angry expressions, waiting for the arrival of the general......
At the same time, on the other side.
This is the research institute beneath the radiation zone, and the imaginary people gather in front of the wall to observe the little starfish as usual.
'Bang! With a loud thud, one of the starfish's tentacles slammed into the wall, and a large crack appeared in the transparent wall.
Recently, the little starfish has become more and more restless, and Lynn has found that it has been able to resist very high temperatures, and it seems to have grown quite fast lately.
It didn't grow so quickly for a reason, and it probably knew that it had managed to attract the 'rescue' on its own.
"Lock it up!" The steward hurriedly shouted.
'Click! I saw five huge mechanical arms stretched out on the roof, and they grabbed the five tentacles of the starfish at the same time, and firmly pressed the starfish to the ground......
"Goo......" The starfish was still twisting and struggling, and the manager immediately said when he saw this: "Hurry up and increase your strength!" Give it safe hold! ”
The robotic arm began to increase its strength, slowly suppressing the struggling starfish, and Lin felt that the robotic arm seemed to be moving in a hydraulic way, and the force was strong enough to press the starfish more than thirty meters in diameter to the ground.
This is also the plan of the Void People, who intend to create a set of 'equipment' to completely trap the starfish, make it completely immobile, control its activities and diet, and also find a way to control its growth.
They use all kinds of 'hormones' and drugs to control the growth of the creatures, so they think that this starfish can also control the growth of the creatures.
But its activity had to be suppressed first, so they trapped it with their mechanical arms and then put armor on it.
They do this, mainly because of hundreds of years of research, this starfish has a very strong vitality, as long as it is not put in high temperatures, it doesn't matter how tortured it is.
It doesn't feel good that the future of the race is completely dependent on an uncontrolled creature.
Therefore, this group of virtual people plan to do everything possible to control this creature.
These robotic arms were originally there to subdue the starfish, and as the starfish grew, they slowly increased in size, and the next thing they created is what they are only now making.
After holding the starfish down completely, one side of the wall of the room slowly rose, and a large group of virtual people and several large mechs were carrying some large metal over.
They surrounded the starfish and began to attach the metal to the starfish.
Now the starfish didn't struggle much, and the Void People moved quite quickly, and the metal parts that had been tested would automatically fit together as long as they were placed in the right places.
During the assembly process, when the upper part is assembled, the robotic arm will slowly lift the starfish and let the virtual people assemble the lower half.
Eventually, they were fitted with this metal kit all over their starfish, as if they had fitted a starfish with a suit of armor, and it was a bit like they had turned a starfish into a metal starfish.
This armor is located where the worm comes out, and there is also an opening in the place where the starfish excretes, in addition to being almost completely sealed, the tentacles are related to the joints, which can allow the starfish to move, but the virtual people can also control the movement of the armor from a remote control, in fact, this armor is a remote-controlled machine, and those openings can also be closed.
They had been talking about it for so long, and they actually came up with the idea of making such a thing...... Looking at the starfish who had been put on armor, Lynn felt that this thing felt rather impractical......
This is mainly used to control the activity of the starfish, to control its eating, moving, and all of its qiē, but also to suppress its growth rate.
Ordinary creatures usually don't grow big or grow deformed if they are pressed by a large amount of clothing or something, but the main suppression method of the void people is to develop some drugs.
They want to mix the drugs in their food for the starfish.
Lin felt that their success rate might be negligible enough......
After that, a few more days and nights passed.
The starfish surprisingly had no problem with the armor it was wearing, it didn't struggle to get it off, and it did something very special.
It's starting to synthesize teleporters in its body.
Lynn's miniature unit observed this process in the frozen body of the little starfish.
The synthesis process is a wonderful one, which slowly hardens with those jelly-like substances, first forming a ball and then wrapping the skin-like substance layer by layer on the outside.
It feels like a plant called an onion.
Speaking of which, Lynn had never seen this plant called an onion, and only knew it in her thoughts.
On top of that, each layer of 'skin' is filled with liquid, and the temperature of these liquids slowly increases.
There seems to be a lot of complex matter interacting with each other, causing the teleporter to slowly increase its temperature, and at the same time changing some strange shapes of structures inside.
It's like making a creature, but it's pretty fast.
Although it was able to resist the heat, the starfish was still in an extremely low temperature, and the temperature of the newly created thing was getting higher and higher, and at the end, an object that looked like a heart was formed.
And Lynn, too, pretty much recorded how it was composed. (To be continued......)
