Chapter 32: Sociology +8
The drone transmitted a clearer picture to Li Wenyuan's eyes.
The image of the mining station has been transformed into a city, and although the original facilities are still largely retained, the functional zoning can be clearly seen.
The tower, located in the center of the station, is conspicuous to support the protective cover of the atmosphere, and a large number of laboratory-like buildings are clustered around the tower.
It seems that the residents here have not given up scientific research because of the harsh living environment, and Li Wenyuan cannot imagine how they live here for the time being.
“…… They must have shut down the control center of the mining station, and if I want to restart it again, I have to enter this 'city', but ...... Is this necessary? ”
The other research ships he sent to the perimeter of the solar system have signaled that everything is normal, and many of them have even begun construction of star bases.
It won't be long before he'll be building research divisions on a few selected planets to increase his research capabilities.
Otherwise, the research of Level 6 technology, which often started for decades, would be too long, and many of the high-yield facilities he coveted would not be able to be put into practice at all.
Although those capacity buildings on the earth are easy to use, they are stable and long-term, and it is difficult to meet Li Wenyuan's growing expansion needs simply by looking at the output.
So there are already two ideas that he has written down in the eye-catching place of the notepad.
【Ideal City Project】
[Tech Level: 6]
[Introduction: The planet will no longer be a shackle of civilization.] We will melt the world into one city and cast one city for the world]
[Possible Technology: Silver Heart Development Plan (0%)]
And:
【Megastructure Construction Project】
[Tech Level: 6]
[Introduction: Planetary-scale megastructures no longer exist only in science fiction, and our existing engineering theories are sufficient to support our need to build galactic wonders]
[Possible Technology: Galaxy Miracle (0%)]
Both of these are ideas that he believes can greatly increase his own production capacity, including industrial needs and scientific research needs.
But for now, he can't do any of them, because the scientific divisions on Earth are no longer being studied, and they need more computing power.
“…… Let's take a look at the quality of their scientists? ”
Looking at this city that still did not give up research even in a harsh environment, Li Wenyuan remembered a special building he had repaired on Earth.
【R&D Facility: R10 Regional Research Center】
[Introduction: This kind of large-scale comprehensive research center can greatly improve our research capabilities, but the overly complex machines inside it need to be operated manually to be able to play the most effective role]
This kind of building did improve the computing power of scientific research divisions, but Li Wenyuan soon found that its utility was much weaker than that of the "Level 4 Singularity" and the "Dimensional Machine", and he felt "unworthy" to stay on this planet.
It wasn't until he put the fat alien who was good at biology in that he found that the research speed in the field of biology had indeed improved.
It was only then that I realized that if there were real scientists working in-house, it should be able to fully exert its effects.
Since then, he has come up with the idea of "just catch some aliens to become scientists".
However, this idea was not put into practice by him, because he felt that the behavior of "asking other civilizations for scientists" did not fit well with his image of a "lost civilization".
But after seeing these "natives" occupying the magpie's nest this time, his mind came alive again.
After all, they seem to have derailed from the interstellar world, and it is impossible to divulge his actions.
And their survival seems to be quite difficult, and he doesn't mind a small help in exchange for a scientist's sincere allegiance.
“…… Let's take a look, maybe there are quite powerful scientists among these 'natives'? It doesn't take much time to ......."
Li Wenyuan thought so, and a synth under his control sneaked into the interior of this floating city on a stealth landing ship.
…………
In the center of the floating city's square, the crowd is tightly surrounding a high platform, listening to the speeches of the people on the stage.
"Today! It's been 600 years since we escaped from those damned invaders! Our ancestors brought us here and entrusted us with the task of reviving civilization! ”
"We are united, we are hardworking, we are tenacious, we will never give up!"
"I know that the seeds of revenge are always buried in each of our genes, and I also know that we are having a difficult life right now!"
"But I believe that we are always making progress, and one day we will return to this interstellar world again and declare to those who destroyed our home: we will never perish!"
An impassioned speech drew warm applause.
Not to say how many of them were sincere, but at least most of them were staring at the man on the podium with bright eyes, as if they were expecting something.
And the man, dressed in full costume, glanced at the crowd, raised his hands and announced, "I declare that the celebration has officially begun!" ”
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in cheers, which seemed far more uplifting than the previous speeches.
The costumed speakers who saw this scene couldn't help but smile bitterly and walked off the podium with a sigh.
"I've said it a long time ago, and the people don't like it now."
There was such a voice from the audience, and it seemed that someone had already greeted him, and the speaker looked at it with a smile on his face.
He said happily, "You two are also here for the celebration?" That's a rarity! ”
"Haha, don't give a rest day for nothing, don't be in vain, it's not bad to look at this sky once in a while."
Naturally, the two were the chief scientists and engineers who had been discussing big things in the conference room, and they were also dressed in fancy attire, making them inconspicuous at the celebration and fitting in nicely with the atmosphere.
The speakers who met the two scientists were delighted, but quickly worried: "Is the problem of the atmospheric shield solved?" If you need any resources, just say so, and I'll do my best to accommodate them. ”
One of the scientists waved his hand and signaled that he should not worry:
"There will be no more problems in the short term, a special resource is needed to completely fix it, and we have already asked people to collect it on the nearest satellite, and it will not be long before this hidden danger can be solved."
The speaker breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the scientist say this, and after talking and laughing with the two for a while, he also changed into a strange costume that could not be seen in the original, and mingled in the crowd and enjoyed the celebration.
Freedom and freedom have always been the theme of this celebration, and everyone wears strange costumes, makeup, and props to transform themselves into "another being".
Here, some people have become household names, some have become warriors who go out on adventures, some have become strange-looking creatures, and some have become extraterrestrial travelers.
Everyone is different, so even if there was a guy who looked like an alien and was really from an alien standing here, it didn't attract anyone's attention.
The synth's gaze flickered, and it quickly disappeared into the crowd.
And Li Wenyuan, who was busy planning the stellar base, also divided a picture to observe the scene of the floating city.
[New creatures have been added to the Bio Gallery]
[New civilizations have been entered into the database]
[Information from the scientific research division:]
[By observing the behavior of species in this floating city, we can provide a certain sample for our sociological theory]
"And this kind of good thing? Maybe I should consider building an observatory here? ”
