Chapter 424: Outpost
The length of the starting point colony ship is about five kilometers, about one kilometer high, and about one kilometer wide.
Speaking of which, this Start-up colony ship is indeed huge, after all, the length of Cortana's multi-purpose exploration spacecraft is still measured by 100 meters. But compared with the city-level starship of the Divine Domain, it is not only a star and a half.
Different from the long Startpoint colony, the shape is borrowed from the Atlantis City Starship used by the ancients in Stargate: Atlantis, and is also divided into six areas, but it is more massive and symmetrical.
The diameter of twenty kilometers also means that the city-level starship of the Divine Domain has an area of more than 300 kilometers, plus the highest point is almost two kilometers, in terms of volume and overall scale alone, the starting point colony ship is like an undeveloped child.
Unlike the Atlantis, which is completely one, this city-class starship of the Divine Domain not only looks like a snowflake magnified by an unknown number of times, but the six equilaterally symmetrical "petals" are actually an independent starship.
Usually, these starships will dock with the core hull in the central area, and in case of star warfare or other necessary situations, they will directly separate into six starships for battle, so as to protect the core hull from being safely transferred.
Even those tall buildings that originally stood in the middle area could reach a maximum of more than 2,000 meters and a few hundred meters low, and when necessary, they would also be transformed into large and small spaceships. Join the six main ships in the battle.
This also means that although the city-class starship of the Divine Domain seems to be just a large starship, it is actually a starfleet with great strength and strength.
It's just that being powerful also means that it is difficult to build this God's Domain city-level starship. No, after working for so long, even with the manufacture and production of equipment, the collection and processing of various resources are getting faster and faster.
Of course, the reason why progress is so slow is not entirely because the city-class starship of the Divine Domain is too large. To a large extent, it is also due to the fact that the production sequence of the Starter colony ship is more advanced. Most of the capacity is occupied.
Fortunately. For Li Anran, although the scale of the Divine Domain city starship is larger, its main role is only to use the ship as its name and as a divine domain. There is a shrine on the island of Ryukyu. If it can't be built for a while, it won't have any impact.
As for the construction of the colony ship Start. Today, it has not been built. But about two-thirds of what it looks like has been done. However, due to assembly problems, the hull shell still needs to be produced in Datang.
The construction of the Start-up colony ship will not be completed for a while. However, Kotana has already produced several small mining barges, and then handed them over to Li Anran to be brought to the periphery of the asteroid dense area between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in Datang time and space through a shuttle for assembly.
Originally, Li Anran planned to send the mining barge to the asteroid belt after it was assembled on Earth, but one of the major advantages of space assembly is that there is no gravity and gravity, and it is a vacuum environment, which is far more advantageous than on Earth.
As for the manpower of assembly, it is naturally impossible for a living person to do it. Instead, it is designed and produced by Kotana, the central intelligent brain on the multi-purpose exploration spacecraft, based on the materials that are available and can be manufactured.
Although one of these robots looks uglier than the other, and is far less beautiful than the intelligent robots in artificial intelligence movies, they are practical enough. In particular, the octopus-shaped mechanical body is quite efficient in engineering construction and assembly.
It's just that after a part of the resource points on this side of Datang time and space were built, Li Anran thought about it and made a decision, so after returning to modern time and space and coming to the multi-functional exploration spacecraft, he directly commanded:
"Cortana, adjust the production sequence and give me a base on Mars in the main plane that is not easy to be discovered by Earth. The production of the city-class starship of the Divine Domain can be temporarily stopped, but the part of the colony ship of the Starting Point should not be stopped. ”
"Commander, in this way, your plan to establish a divine domain in the Datang time and space will have to be greatly postponed." As long as you don't touch it, Kotana, the central intelligent brain who looks like a real person in the past, reminded.
"Push it off, put it off, good things can't be taken out at once, and the effect will be better gradually." Li Anran, who anticipated this question, waved his hand and said, "Moreover, the base on Mars doesn't have to be built, it's just enough." ”
"Let's build a small outpost according to what you said last time, and remember to find a hidden place, after all, the human technology of the main plane can already observe the surface of Mars. It's okay to be spotted, but it's better to keep a low profile. ”
"Commander, the scale of small outposts is quite small, and the corresponding supporting equipment is also very limited, if the commander intends to develop in the main space, it is recommended to establish a large outpost base." Cortana, who is in a three-dimensional holographic projection, said.
"Cortana, I see what you mean." Li Anran, who knew that the other party was also good for himself, nodded and said: "It's just that I don't plan to do any big development in the main time and space, at most, it is to establish a basic resource extraction system." ”
"Aside from the fact that I'll come over every once in a while to gather a batch of resources, there's basically no one else in the outpost. My plan is to fully develop the Datang space-time side, so the main space-time side has lost its meaning to me. ”
Faced with such an answer, Cortana only understood the meaning of these words after a little silence, and immediately said: "Commander, in this way, you are planning to bring me and this multi-purpose exploration spacecraft to the Datang space-time and space?" ”
"That's right, although the main time and space does have a lot of value, it is far less meaningful to me than the Datang time and space. As the saying goes, expensive essence is not too expensive, rather than being busy at both ends, it is better to concentrate on the development of Datang time and space. ”
"As for the problem of using the main plane as a way out, it is actually easy to solve. You just need to find a suitable star field as a transit station. At that time, even if a high-level civilization appears, the other party will not destroy this piece of void, right? ”
"Well, Cortana, if you don't want to go to Datang with me, then you can stay here at the outpost on Mars, but I need to take a copy of your database with me." Li Anran, who was sitting in the main control chair, looked at the other party and said.
Faced with these words, Brain Kotana said with a smile: "Commander, I must obey your orders unconditionally, I don't have to copy the database, and after the outpost on Mars and the entire resource system of the main space-time are built, the commander can take me away." ”
In fact, bringing Cortana to Datang was not Li Anran's hot-headedness. At the beginning, he was planning to take the other party away, but after he dispelled his thoughts because of the other party's suggestion, he always felt that the other party seemed to be reluctant to go to Datang time and space with him.
Of course, after Li Anran tried to knock on the side, he also felt that his idea still seemed to be a product of "persecution delusion syndrome", after all, this thing was a gift left by his godsister, and it would not harm him.
But if Cortana is unwilling to go to Datang with her, it really wants to use the main time and space as a back road to avoid any problems on Datang's side, it doesn't make sense, after all, this kind of thing is really overkill for her to be responsible for such a high-level intelligent brain.
Just like the outpost that the other party wanted to build before, even if it is not safe to build only one on Mars, it is completely possible to build a few more terrestrial planets, moons and suitable asteroids in the solar system to explain the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit.
What's more, in Li Anran's opinion, there will be no problem with the security of the main space-time at all.
Don't look at that cheap brother-in-law and himself are not people in the same time and space, but the godsister Hu Jing is a native of this time and space.
Li Anran didn't believe that his godsister would allow the main time and space, which was his sister's hometown, to be harmed by some advanced civilization.
This is enough to prove just the act of "cleaning" the earth, the solar system, and even the galaxy of the main plane before the cheap brother-in-law left. (To be continued......)
