Wandering planet that will travel

Each of them is a super project that requires a huge cost. Whether it is the Einstein Equator, the Flower of the Soul, or the Starkiller Base, they are all buildings that can be called planetary wonders, and it is hard to imagine that they can be carried out at the same time.

But Ding Yi said fearlessly: "It's nothing. If the planetary engines were built one by one, we would have been swallowed up by the solar helium flash."

Indeed, it took only 30 years from the official start to the completion of the planetary engine unit of the Wandering Earth Project to produce 300 planetary engines.On average, more than [-] buildings are completed in one year. Obviously, it is impossible to build the next one after one is completed.

Compared with the engineering volume of the Wandering Earth Project, it is really nothing now.

Ding Yi said regretfully: "It's a pity that the energy of the fire seed source is not unlimited. Now it can only be used to accelerate the flower of the soul. The completion of Einstein's equator will be delayed again."

Qiao Lv smiled and said, "Really, I think it's too fast, and my thinking can't keep up."

It has only been a few years since the Wandering Earth began to travel, but technology seems to have developed for hundreds of years, and it is no problem to describe it as changing with each passing day.

Ding Yi shook her head and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. The evolutionary history of life on Earth is as long as 35 billion years, and human beings first appeared between 500 million and 700 million years ago. Then the evolutionary history of human beings lasted for millions of years. The rapid development of science and technology is only in the 300 years after the industrial revolution. All of this is a sudden qualitative change in a very short period of time after a long accumulation. Maybe we are also in such a period of qualitative change, in a very short period of time It has undergone earth-shaking changes.”

It is not unreasonable to say this. Compared with the 45 billion years of the earth's existence, the history of human beings from the cradle of early civilizations to the vast universe is incredibly short, but it has achieved incredible achievements.

Perhaps after the flower of the soul is completed, the earth can truly realize what kind of miracle happened to her, so that even the helium flash of the sun failed to extinguish the fire of human civilization!

Chapter 564 Space Carrier

The Flower of Soul project was proceeding in an orderly manner according to plan, so Qiao Li didn't have to worry too much.

Now he is more concerned about how the transformation of the New Moon Base is going, which is related to whether the Wandering Earth can travel to the next plane.After getting the Death Star's supermatter reactor, it's time to gradually transform it into a Starkiller base.

Through the transmission tower of the planetary engine, Qiao Lv came to the New Moon base in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the Death Star had been dismantled until only a skeleton remained, like a skull floating in space. The contents inside had already been emptied, and all of them were moved to the New Moon Base.

Thanks to it, the New Moon Base is now undergoing extensive construction and installation of various parts removed from the Death Star, including of course the most important supermatter reactor.

This is also a big project, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete in a short time, but the materials are all ready-made, which is much better than starting from scratch.

Today's Crescent Base has long become a vital space base for the wandering earth, with functions such as an orbital defense platform, an interstellar warship dock, and a fleet command center, plus Galen Erso's improved Death Star super laser cannon. It's looking more and more like Starkiller Base.

But now the Ark, the Wannian Fengxue and the Expedition are all following the journey of the New Republic to unify the Milky Way. The only one docked above the orbit of the Crescent Base is the Executor, which returned to the Wandering Earth not long ago. Now it has been transformed into a A giant spaceship.

When Qiao Li arrived, the Executor was conducting its first military exercise.

Countless fighter jets swarmed out of the hangar of the Executor, pounced on the asteroid belt left over from the Death Star's super laser cannon bombardment in the nearby Battle of Yavin, and smashed the target asteroid with proton torpedoes and laser cannons. .

To Qiao Lv's surprise, the carrier aircraft of the Executor did not use the X-wing fighters and Y-wing fighters of the Rebel Alliance as he thought, but was equipped with a large number of cheap TIE fighters as usual.

Just when Qiao Li was puzzled, George, the permanent director responsible for the construction of the space fleet, sent an invitation to board the Executor to watch the exercise.

So Qiao Li took a shuttle to the Executor and once again saw this nearly [-]-meter-long super star destroyer. Qiao Li was still amazed at its city-like hull surface, and further expanded After the hangar area, the Executor looks like a huge beehive, which can easily accommodate tens of thousands of star fighters, commanding them to come in and out, sometimes attacking and sometimes repairing.

After officially entering the hangar, Qiao Lv finally understood why the Executor used cheap TIE fighter jets as carrier aircraft.

Inside the hull of the Executor is a complete TIE fighter production line, which can even recover various debris and minerals floating in space, and build a brand new TIE fighter in just a few minutes.

The neat and uniform assembly line gives people a unique industrial aesthetic feeling, and the fully automated production completes all operations meticulously.

At this time, Qiao Lv was also surprised to find that most of the asteroids used as targets were celestial bodies containing metallic minerals.

After the TIE fighters blasted it with proton torpedoes, they dragged the large chunks of minerals back to the Executor with a tractor beam, and put them into the production line to be used as materials for the next batch of fighters.

It is simply a one-stop service mobile factory. From collecting raw materials to producing fighter jets to putting them into combat, everything is done inside the hull of the Executor.

It’s no wonder that relatively cheap TIE fighters are used. If it weren’t for this kind of simple structure and low-cost dual-ion engine fighters, there would be no way to produce them in such a steady stream. They can still be pieced together with various debris and asteroid minerals, and they can be used on the spot. Build quickly from materials.

Undoubtedly, the remodeled Executor adopts drone swarm tactics, which is to overwhelm the enemy with a steady stream of huge numbers, and TIE fighter jets are tailor-made for this purpose.

While visiting the production line on the Executor, Qiao Lv came to the bridge command room. George had been waiting here for a long time, and the Executor also entered the asteroid belt step by step.

"Qiao Lv, welcome! How about it, our first space carrier."

"Much better than I imagined."

Qiao Lv originally thought that the Executor would be equipped with a large number of X-wing fighters, just like a traditional aircraft carrier, relying on its carrier capacity to win, but he did not expect that it would become a mobile factory, relying on building and manufacturing to provide a steady stream of fighters.

George explained: "X-wing fighters have high performance, but they also have high requirements for pilots. At present, our artificial intelligence is still incompetent, and there is no way to train so many excellent pilots in a short period of time. Therefore, the cheap TIE The fighter jet became the first choice, coupled with the convenience of mass production, we transformed the Executor into this."

The X-wing fighter is similar to the Phoenix fighter of the Protoss in StarCraft. The performance is naturally higher than the interceptor of the Protoss aircraft carrier, but it is impossible to produce it quickly to meet the rapid replenishment of the Protoss aircraft carrier. needs.

In contrast, TIE fighter jets are even cheaper, and can be pieced together with various wreckage and metal minerals. It is nothing more than providing fuel and ammunition, which cannot be any cheaper.

As a matter of course, the fighter jets on the Executor have been replaced with unmanned types, and they are not even counted as vital force, and they will not feel distressed as much as they are consumed.

Under the cover of countless TIE fighter jets, the Executor passed through the densely packed asteroid belt and returned with a large amount of metal minerals. The collection efficiency was frighteningly high, making it hard to figure out whether it was an engineering ship or a space carrier.

"The second space carrier is also under construction. With the experience of transforming and using the Executor, the domestic space carrier we built from scratch will have a more mature design, which will be beneficial in all aspects." George Said further.

Indeed, this is much better than starting from scratch, the space fleet of the wandering earth is built little by little.

Qiao Lu asked: "So how is the transformation of the New Moon Base going? Is it going well?"

"Well, the parts on the Death Star have been delivered and are being reassembled under the command of Galen Erso. No one knows the structure of the Death Star better than him. After the transformation of the New Moon Base is completed, the supermatter reactor The energy of guides the wandering earth, helping us travel to new worlds."

Another important task for the Wandering Earth Fleet to follow the Rebels to unify the galaxy is to recover as much as possible the Kyber crystals looted by the empire before, as fuel for the supermatter reactor, and there is still enough energy left after the Wandering Earth crosses.

Everything is going according to plan, it seems that Qiao Lv can really rest assured this time.

Chapter 565 Going to the New World

In the next few months, the Wandering Earth will be busy with various constructions. The Flower of Soul, Starkiller Base, Einstein's Equator, each of which is an industrial wonder that is more magnificent than a planetary engine.

Thanks to the efforts of countless people, the Flower of Soul project was the first to achieve results. The huge base stands above the ground, and a bottomless tunnel extends down.

The seedlings of the flower of mind cultivated by Dr. Grace's group were officially transplanted to the base, allowing their roots to spread downwards and absorb nutrients to thrive.

When the flower of the soul is in full bloom, it is the time when the will of the earth is awakened.

At the same time, the Crescent Base, which was transformed with Death Star parts, has basically been upgraded.

A new super laser cannon has now been added to the huge crack that was cut open by Qiao Lu with the sword of the earth.

It's like opening an eye on the surface of a planet. I still remember that this planet was the Eye of Gehros in the first place.

This main cannon can't be said to have reached the level of the Starkiller Base in the new canon that can destroy several planets with one shot, but its power is not inferior to the Death Star's super laser cannon.

But now this energy is first used to allow the wandering earth to travel to the next plane, and before you know it, the time limit of half a year is about to pass.

During this period of time, the Wandering Earth helped the New Republic take down several core galaxies and became the foundation of the New Republic.

At this time, the remnants of the empire were no longer to be feared, and the New Republic was capable of completing the unification of the galaxy, so the coalition government withdrew the space fleet it had sent and sent them back to the wandering earth.

At the time of the expedition, the Wandering Earth Fleet still had only three interstellar warships, the Ark, the Wannian Fengxue, and the Expedition. After returning, it has become a large-scale space fleet.
