207 Target: Boulder
In the heart of the Great Hollow of Nightmares, in the black hole horizon known as the Quiet Black Domain, there are two giant structures that belong to humans: the Matter Decompressor and the Giant Dock.
With a disc-shaped gravitational drilling rig at its core, the matter decompressor looks like a giant three-legged spider crouching on a celestial body from afar, with three graviton beams of equal length anchoring the bulk of the structure to the black hole's gravitational well, allowing the super rig to penetrate deep into the singularity and draw resources.
The giant dock is in the shape of a flat, hollow octagon, with each side being a separate giant dock, surrounded by a rotating energy core in the center, which works tirelessly to build ships.
It is worth mentioning that this octagonal body is far from being round and symmetrical, and one of its sides protrudes significantly from a large block, taking on the largest independent dockyard of size.
Seven large docks and one giant dock make up this super-shipyard of unprecedented scale.
"Of the eight docks, only the largest one, Dock 1, has the capacity to build Juggernaut-class ships, while the remaining seven docks can handle up to the Titan-class giant mothership."
Grey Wind took Russell's hand and led him across the conveyor belt carrying a large amount of raw materials down to the deep well of the anchorage leading to Dock 1, and on the way down, she continued:
"The current giant dock is basically fully loaded, all eight docks are working non-sleep, and there are seven 'Whale Shark' class titan ships under construction. and 1 'King's Landing'-class Juggernaut ship. β
"Actually, if you're going to go far away, my suggestion is to set the departure time after the Juggernaut is built......
As he spoke, the deep well went down to the bottom.
After opening the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge pillar that can't see the end when you raise your eyes, and you can't see the edge left and right. The pillars were slightly curved, glowing with a pale gold sheen, and thousands of ant-like dots were busy on them. Such a vast scene reminded Russell of the mythical Jianmu Sacred Tree that supported heaven and earth, and like the ribs exposed after the fall of some kind of starry sky monster.
"I've seen the skeleton left behind by Colonia's gnawing on the Void Whale before...... The ribs of the Void Whale don't seem to be as thick as this? Russell pondered.
"It's not that big, it's just visual." Grey Wind shook his head, bringing up a panoramic view of the Juggernaut skeleton being built for Russell:
"Here, this is the big pillar in front of us, which is the accessory bone that dominates the left wing. The largest Void Whale we've ever seen, with a length of about 20,000 kilometers. The juggernaut has a unilateral wingspan of only 4,000 kilometers and a full wingspan of about 10,000 kilometers, which is only a little more than half the length of the Void Whale...... It's not even close to the starry sky monster. β
Grey Wind's tone was a little lost.
"You can't say that, Lord Gray."
A tall technocratic sage, dressed in a cogwheel robe, holding the Om Messianic Axe, seemed to hear the conversation, and stepped forward uninvited, answering:
"A fixed structure like a starship and a giant shipyard are not the same thing, they are completely different in terms of design concept.
Space buildings do not need to move, they can rely on their own gravity to maintain structural stability, and architects can be bold enough to design different structures according to specific needs.
But starships are different, and the construction of starships must not only take into account the huge inertia of sub-light travel, the gravitational anomaly caused by faster-than-light jumps, and the structural stability when attacked by the outside world...... A combination of difficult factors made the construction of the starship extremely difficult. β
"With the same volume of orbital defense bases and battle starships, the latter is at least 10 times more difficult to build, with a wingspan of 10,000 kilometers...... It is a miracle that the Order of Truth was able to build such a huge and majestic ship. β
At this point, the technical sage who suddenly answered even choked up a little: "The first time I set foot here and saw the huge skeleton of the ship, I was extremely convinced that this was a miracle descended by the Almighty Mechanical God......"
Gray Wind turned his head to look at Russell, Russell lowered his head to look at Gray Wind, and the two of them looked at each other, both speechless.
"Isn't this Spangler, I think he seems to be the forged sage of the urban planet Embra? Why is he here. Russell asked in silent communication.
Grey Wind replied, "He's here to visit." β
"Visit?" Russell was a little confused.
"It's a visit~" Gray Wind continued with a silent frequency: "Inverse Entropy is a human warship AI in the Dark Technology Era, and its database stores a large amount of precious STC data, but not all of it. We've been trading with the Mechanics for years, using all kinds of technology and resources to replenish our database by swapping the STCs that the oil guys don't have the inverse entropy to.
The early stage was very smooth, but as the transaction progressed to a certain level, the value of the STC involved became more important, and some old-fashioned technical sages began to cherish themselves, no matter how many chips we offered, they refused to exchange, and I and the reverse entropy had a headache. β
As he spoke, Grey Wind quietly glanced at the Casting Sage Spangler, who was crying silently at the Skeleton of the Domination not far away, and continued:
"This stalemate didn't ease until we started building Valkyrie-class battleships, and I traded the reactor stacking technology and the basic maintenance technology of the Zero Element Armor for some precious STC standard construction templates, such as the Power Sword Disintegration Force Field and the Small Void Shield......
Embra's Forge Sage, Spangler did not leave with the expeditionary fleet, and he still has in his hands the blueprints of two ancient Terminator models that have long been lost, and he can hand them over to us, but only on the condition that he be allowed to see the construction process of the Juggernaut. β
So the reverse entropy put him in.
Russell nodded, and he could understand the decision of inverse entropy.
He had recently decided to sign an arms sales order with the Human Empire to curb the expansion of the Boundary Breakers by providing military assistance to the Human Empire.
The best solution is to transform the nest capital world in the Far Eastern Star Domain into an urban planet, relying on the strong productivity of the ideal city and the local STC, to mass-produce munitions suitable for the use of the imperial army.
The customer is good at hitting people with sticks, so instead of putting a pulse rifle on the shelf, you should sell him a "stick Β· Pro Max Puls Ultraβγ
Raising his eyes again, Spangler was already getting farther and farther, muttering strange words such as "great graviton manipulation technology", "incredible miracles", "The Chosen One", etc., while using his servo skull to broadcast sacred binary prayers around him, his centipede-like deformed body and octopus-like tentacle-like mechanical arms constantly dancing.
"Looking at him like this, I suddenly have confidence in the next trip." Russell smiled helplessly.
Gray Wind's hands were crossed, and his two thumbs circled in tangled circles: "So where are you going and what are you going to do this time?" β
She still hoped that Russell would leave later and drive the Juggernaut out when it was completed.
"I'm going to take a trip to the Krenna sector near the Eye of Fear." Russell smiled at Grey Wind and said, "According to the information sent back to the home port by the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet, the 'Monastery of the Dark Angels' is staying there right now, investigating something privately. β
"I'm going to take a trip to the boulder and get something."
