Chapter 424 Outpost
The length of the Qidian colonial ship is about five kilometers, about one kilometer high and one kilometer wide. After seeing the design drawings of this thing for the first time, Li Anran, who is a pseudo-game house, immediately remembered the Infinity in "Hao".
To be honest, this ship Qidian colonial ship is indeed huge in size. After all, the length of the multi-function exploration spacecraft where Cortana is located is still calculated at 100 meters. But compared with the Shenyu city-class starship, it is more than a little bit worse than the Shenyu city-class starship.
Unlike the long-shaped colonial ship of the Starting Point, the shape draws on the Divine Realm of the Atlantis city starship used by the ancients in "Star Gate: Atlantis". It is also divided into six areas, but it seems to be more huge and symmetrical.
The diameter of twenty kilometers means that the Shenyu city-class starship has an area of more than 300 kilometers, and the highest point is about 2,000 meters. In terms of volume and overall scale, the Qidian colonial ship is like an undeveloped child.
Unlike the completely integrated Atlantis, this city-class starship of the Divine Realm not only looks like a snowflake that has been magnified countless times, but also the six "petals" with equilateral symmetrical sides are actually an independent starship.
Usually, these starships will be docked with the core hull in the central area. Once they encounter Star Wars or other necessary situations, they will be separated into six starships to fight, thereby protecting the core hull to be safely transferred.
Even those tall buildings that originally stood in the middle area that could reach a maximum of more than 2,000 meters and a low of several hundred meters will also be transformed into large or small spacecraft when necessary. Cooperate with the six main ships to join the battle.
This means that although the Shenyu city-class starship looks like a huge starship, it is actually a starship that is not large in scale but has powerful strength.
However, being powerful also means that the construction of the city-class starship of this ship is difficult. After working so long, even with the manufacturing and production of equipment, the collection and processing speed of various resources is getting faster and faster.
Of course, the reason why progress is so slow is not entirely because the Divine Realm city-class starship is too large. To a large extent, it is because the production sequence of the Qidian colonial ship is higher and most of the production capacity is occupied.
Fortunately, for Li Anran, although the city starship of the Divine Realm is larger in scale, its main function is that the ship is just as its name, used as the Divine Realm. With the Divine Palace on Liuqiu Island, it will not have any impact if it fails to build it in a while.
As for the construction of the Qidian colonial ship, although it has not been completed now, it has been about two-thirds of the appearance. However, due to assembly issues, the hull shell still needs to be produced in the Tang Dynasty.
Although the construction of the Qidian colonial ship could not be completed in a while, the central intelligent brain Cortana has already produced several small mining barges first, and then handed them over to Li Anran to the periphery of the dense asteroid area between Mars and Jupiter in time and space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the Tang Dynasty for assembly.
Originally, Anran Li planned to send the mining barge to the asteroid belt after assembling on Earth. However, a major benefit of space assembly is that it has no gravity and gravity, and it has a vacuum environment, which is much more beneficial than on Earth.
As for the manpower problem of assembly, it is naturally impossible for living people to deal with it. Instead, it is a low-intelligent engineering mechanical body designed and produced by the central intelligent brain Cortana on the spacecraft through multi-function exploration, based on the materials that are owned and manufactured at hand.
Although these mechanical bodies look ugly than the other, far less beautiful than the intelligent robots in artificial intelligence movies, they are more practical. Especially those octopus-shaped mechanical bodies, which are quite efficient in engineering construction and assembly.
However, after the resource points on the Tang Dynasty time and space were built, Li Anran made a decision after thinking about it. So after returning to modern time and space and coming to the multi-function exploration spacecraft, he directly ordered:
"Kotana, adjust the production sequence and build a base on Mars in the main time and space that is not easy to be discovered by the earth. The production of the Shenyu city-class starship can be temporarily stopped, but the part of the Qidian colonial ship should not be stopped."
"Commander, in this way, your plan to establish a divine realm in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty will have to be greatly pushed back." As long as you don't touch and look at it from the outside, Cortana, the central intelligent brain, reminded.
"Push it, push it. Good things cannot be taken out at once. The effect will be better if you progress step by step." Li Anran, who expected this problem, waved his hand and said, "And, the base on Mars does not need to be built as big as it is enough."
"Just build a small outpost you mentioned last time. Remember to find a hidden place. After all, human technology in the main time and space can already observe the surface of Mars. Although it is nothing to be discovered, it is better to be low-key."
"Commander, the size of small outposts is quite small, and the corresponding supporting equipment also has great limitations. If the commander intends to develop in the main time and space, it is recommended to establish a large outpost base." said Cortana, who is in a three-dimensional holographic projection state.
"Cotana, I understand what you mean." Li Anran nodded and said, "But I don't plan to make any major development in the main time and space. At most, it's just a basic resource mining system."
"Except for me coming to collect a batch of resources every once in a while, there will be basically no one else appearing in the outpost. My plan is to fully develop the Tang Dynasty's time and space side, so the main time and space side has lost its meaning to me."
Faced with such an answer, Cortana understood the meaning of this sentence after just a moment of pondering, and said immediately: "Commander, then, are you planning to bring me and this multi-functional exploration spacecraft to the time and space of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, although the main time and space do have considerable value, it is far less meaningful to me than the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, it is better to concentrate on developing in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty than to be busy at both ends.
"As for the problem of treating the main time and space as a retreat, it is actually easy to solve. You just need to find a suitable star field as a transit station. Even if higher civilizations appear, the other party will not destroy this void, right?"
"How about it, Cortana, if you don't want to go to Datang with me, then you can stay at the outpost on Mars. However, I need to copy your database and take it away." Li Anran, who was sitting in the main control chair, looked at the other party and said.
Faced with this, Intelligent Brain Cortana smiled and said, "Commander, I must obey your orders unconditionally, and do not have to copy the database. After the outposts on Mars and the entire resource system of the main space-time is built, the Commander can take me away."
In fact, Li Anran was not the hot-headed moment when he brought Cortana to the Tang Dynasty. After he planned to take the other party away, but he gave up his thoughts because of the other party's suggestion, he always felt that the other party seemed to be unwilling to go to the time and space of the Tang Dynasty with him.
Of course, after exploring indirectly, Li Anran also felt that his idea still seemed to be a product of "persecution paranoia syndrome". After all, this thing is a gift left by his sister, so it will not harm him.
But if Cortana is unwilling to go to the Tang Dynasty with her, she really wants to use the main time and space as a way to avoid any problems in the Tang Dynasty. After all, it would be useless to make such a thing as her advanced intelligent brain.
Just like the outpost that the other party had to build before, even if it is not safe to build one on Mars, it is possible to build a few more Earth-like planets in the solar system, satellites and suitable asteroids to interpret the principle of cunning rabbits having three holes.
What's more, in Li Anran's opinion, there will be no problem with the security of the main time and space.
Although the cheap brother-in-law is not a person of time and space with me, my sister Hu Jing is a Tu tribe in this time and space.
Li Anran didn't believe that his sister would let her be the master of time and space as her sister's hometown be harmed by some higher civilization.
