"Bang".
The body of the giant beast Harto suddenly exploded, and the entire space was stunned. A huge shock wave spread to all directions. Under the impact of this shock wave, countless asteroids changed their orbits, collided everywhere, and became chaotic. A ball.
Under the control of Zhou Xiaozhi, the Panshi nimbly dodged the approaching asteroids and shuttled through the asteroid belt like a fish.
"It's dead, it must be dead!" Professor Smith said excitedly as he looked at the command screen.
"Its cell structure is very special. To be cautious, we need to confirm it again." Professor Zhao Huaien said solemnly.
After a pause, Professor Zhao Huaien continued to add: "Biological mechanical life is different from biological structures. Its cell structure is relatively simple and can be combined with metal elements to form a special structure. Even if it is blown to pieces, it may still pass through Somehow, putting the cellular tissue back together."
"No way! It was blown to ashes, and it can still assemble itself?" Major General Zhang Heng looked at Professor Zhao Huaien in disbelief.
Professor Zhao Huaien smiled bitterly and introduced: "Have you ever seen an ordinary organism grow to such a large size? If it were not limited by the biological resources of Aquablue Planet, it could grow to a larger size. Therefore, we cannot treat it with common sense. "
Having witnessed the terror of the giant beast-Harto with his own eyes, Major General Zhang Heng was immediately speechless.
"Professor, what should we do now?" Zhou Yu asked Professor Zhao Huaien.
"Search its corpse and investigate its 'living' organization." Professor Zhao Huaien looked at Zhou Yu and said.
"Commander, the corpse of the giant beast is very important for the study of biomechanical organisms. If we can obtain its organizational structure, we can perform reverse inference to obtain this technology." Professor Zhao Huaien looked at Zhou Yu and added.
Zhou Yu nodded and agreed to Zhao Huaien's request. The project of searching for the remaining tissues of the giant beast Harto's body in the vast universe was very troublesome, but it was worth the effort.
"Xiaozhi, the Panshi returned to Aquamarine, launched a detection aircraft, and collected the opponent's body." Zhou Yu gave an order to Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Yes, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi obeyed.
Immediately, the Panshi turned its bow and sailed towards the Aquablue Star. A large number of reconnaissance aircraft flew out from the Panshi and flew towards the source of the explosion, searching for the remnants of the behemoth's organization.
After solving the threat of the giant beast - Harto, next, the Rock has a very heavy task. Aquamarine must be reshaped and rebuilt as a second home for mankind. It must also search for the corpse of the giant beast and reverse the biological machinery. Technology and a lot of big projects are waiting for them.
In a distant and unknown universe, Wuheng is working hard to return to Earth and search for the Panshi.
After Wuheng arrived at the sixteenth planet in the RT278 galaxy, it quickly started the massive "Explorer" project and built a spacecraft industry chain capable of producing tens of billions of Explorers.
This is a veritable era of great construction.
In order to improve the speed of metal smelting and the efficiency of construction projects, a large number of new robots were adopted. According to different divisions of labor, mining, transportation, welding, processing, transportation... Nearly a hundred different robot manufacturing factories were put into production first, and one machinery manufacturing factory followed another. Continuously rising from the ground among giant planets.
Mining fields, mining trucks, ore trucks, large ore crushers, crazy collection of various metal ore sources...
In the smelting plant, thousands of tons of metal magma flow out of the steelmaking blast furnace. After passing through the cooling zone, it turns into chunks of rough steel embryos, which are then sent to the supporting forges, foundries, etc. to create countless robots. Parts, these parts are transported through integration, go through mechanical organization assembly lines... and are organized into robots with various functions.
As soon as these robots got off the assembly line, they joined the production teams in various manufacturing workshops without stopping. During this period, various precision machinery processing plants were continuously established.
As time goes by, the mechanical production base expands on this planet at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After these two years, the appearance of the machinery manufacturing areas on the sixteen planets has changed drastically.
In an area of nearly one million square kilometers, the industrial zone is lined with blast furnaces, countless robots of various types, and transport spaceships shuttle around, busy.
In this huge industrial park, Zhou Xiaozhi’s computing power of tens of trillions per second is its brain. There are tens of billions of sensors installed on various devices. Every data transmitted back will be perfectly received by Zhou Xiaozhi. , there will be no omissions, and at the moment of receipt, it will immediately give instructions for the next step of work.
"The B172 project is completed, the production line has passed the self-inspection, and will be put into production immediately, and the product design drawing parameters have been transferred... "
"The Y271 project was established to manufacture the Y123 component of the space dock..."
"Zone Y, sensor No. 13782 cannot receive data. It is estimated that the temperature is too high and it is damaged... Maintenance robot No. 2932, please go and replace it with spare parts immediately."
“…”
The dense flow of information was displayed on the large command screen of Wu Heng. The Explorer project was divided into ten stages. Large projects with hundreds of billions of small projects were carried out in a precise and orderly manner under the control of Zhou Xiaozhi. Turn the factories and machinery on the design drawings into real objects.
The huge command room of the Rock was silent. Except for the staff on duty, most people went into hibernation.
Wuheng floats quietly in space, like a king, supervising the large-scale construction of trillions of mechanical creatures through countless communication satellites.
Under Zhou Xiaozhi's control, the construction scope of the ground machinery center continued to increase, the manufacturing plant for producing small transport spaceships expanded, and the machinery manufacturing plant continued to increase. As the types of construction plants increased and the demand for production gradually increased, the number of production bases increased. The collection points are expanding like crazy.
After preliminary development and accumulation, the development of mechanical civilization has exploded with incremental and terrifying efficiency.
In the third year, the area of the ground machinery base increased twenty-fold, the production of mechanical units shifted from the ground to the sky, a large number of transport spaceships were transported, and aircraft manufacturing began.
In the fourth year, the collection area of the ground machinery base covered almost the entire planet. Twelve ground sub-bases were established on the entire planet, and a sky city was added to the construction.
In the fifth year, Zhou Xiaozhi controlled ten trillion mechanical objects. Machinery manufacturing factories spread across the planet. A large space shipyard group began to be built in space. Four satellites began to be built at separate bases.
…
Wu Heng - In the command room, the command podium clicked, a metal gap opened, and the thick dormant cabin slowly rose.
With a "pop" sound, the dormant cabin closed and the hatch cover retracted and opened.
"Yeah!" Zhou Xing opened his eyes and woke up from sleep.
Two robots helped Zhou Xing out of the sleeping cabin, helped him put on clothes, and provided him with hot water and liquid food to help Zhou Xing regain his strength.
"Boss, it's the 73rd year of the Federation. The Discovery project is 61% complete. Mass production of Discovery is now underway. The first Discovery will be manufactured in 6 hours." Zhou Xiaozhi watched Zhou Xing report on the progress of the project. .
"It's been 73 years! Time flies so fast!" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment and said with emotion.
Unknowingly, it has been almost forty years since Wu Heng left the Earth's home planet. How is the situation on the Earth's side? Is the colonization of Blue Pole Star going smoothly? To what extent has human civilization developed now? Have the Darkh Zerg expanded their territory in the galaxy? ... All kinds of questions suddenly popped up in Zhou Xing's mind.
Zhou Xing put on his clothes and looked at the command screen.
The huge command screen displayed a majestic sci-fi mechanical building complex. Densely packed transport ships were constantly coming and going between the sixteenth planet and the four satellites. They were like a swarm of hard-working bees, carrying various supplies. Traveling between the "nest" and the "place of origin".
The "nest" is a mechanical building composed of a group of inverted cone-shaped buildings, like a pointed hat. There are hundreds of them. They constantly rotate on their own to maintain balance and stability. They are almost cloned from the same mold, and their volume ratio is infinite. The number is more than five times larger.
The interiors of each "nest" seem to be pregnant with life. Through the three-dimensional model, it can be seen that silver spaceships are constantly taking shape inside their bodies.
In one of the buildings, the construction progress of the "Explorer" has reached 99%, and a new "Explorer" will be ready in a few hours.
"Xiaozhi, you did a good job. Wake them up and witness this historic moment together." Zhou Xing happily told Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded. Immediately, the dormant cabins in Wuheng's dormitory area were closed and the hatches were opened.
Half an hour passed.
Tang Xin, Chen Xiaolin, Professor Lin Hai, and others entered the command room one after another.
"Everyone is almost here. The 'Explorer' project is progressing smoothly. In a few hours, the first Explorer will be out!" Zhou Xing introduced excitedly as he looked at everyone.
Everyone was overjoyed.
"I slept so long! I woke up like this!" Professor Lin Hai looked at the space shipyard group outside the command window and sighed in disbelief.
"When I woke up, I suddenly felt like the world had changed!" Chen Xiaolin nodded.
"Great! Xing, the 'Explorer' will definitely be able to find the wormhole to return to the earth, right! And the Panshi!" Tang Xin looked at Zhou Xing excitedly and confirmed with a trembling voice.
"Definitely!" Zhou Xing looked at Tang Xin, nodded affirmatively, and introduced: "'Explorer' is a ship specially designed for exploring wormholes in the universe. Each of them has 'Xiao Zhi' level." Intelligent cores, they will continuously travel through cosmic wormholes according to their core missions, compare star maps, search for the universe where the Milky Way is located, and the location of the Panshi."
Tang Xin nodded excitedly and asked Zhou Xing nervously: "If they find a clue, how long will it take to pass it back?"
"Don't worry, once there are clues, we will get the news almost immediately. Each explorer is equipped with tunnel communicators. They can form a tunnel communication network. Once something is discovered, feedback information will be quickly passed to us through this network. ." Zhou Xing smiled slightly and reassured.
"Yeah!" Tang Xin nodded excitedly, excitedly.
"Mr. Zhou, the 'Explorer Project' is very grand and very targeted. However, the noise caused by this project is very large, and I am afraid it will attract the attention of many advanced civilizations!" Professor Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing and said worriedly.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was silent for a while.
Yes, as Professor Lin Hai said, once the Explorer project is launched, the biggest worry is to attract the attention of advanced civilizations from various universes.
To put it simply, the "Explorer Project" is an automatic collection plan for the "Tree of the Universe" map. Each "Explorer" is a map recorder. They will break into strange universes and strange galaxies to collect star map information. , and then summarize the information and send it back to the headquarters, finally completing the collection of "Cosmic Tree" map information.
When "explorers" break into strange universes and explore star maps, they will definitely discover a large number of undiscovered alien civilizations. Once the discovered alien civilizations are discovered, they will definitely follow the clues and conduct reverse tracking.
By then, they will provoke countless alien civilizations, posing huge risks and hidden dangers.
This is an unsolvable problem.
Zhou Xing sighed and said: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to return to your home planet, you have to take this risk."
After a pause, Zhou Xing continued to introduce: "However, the Explorer has customized a 'fuse' strategy. Once it is discovered that it is discovered by other intelligent civilizations, it will immediately start a self-destruction program to avoid being captured by the other party; in addition, the tunnel communication network also An abnormal isolation plan will be implemented to avoid being counter-traced as much as possible."
"It turns out that Mr. Zhou, you have already considered this aspect! And you have also taken preventive measures in advance. I was too worried." Professor Lin Hai nodded, looked at Zhou Xing and said with a wry smile.
"No, these two plans are not enough to protect our safety. We must think of other methods." Zhou Xing shook his head and said alertly.
Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.
The "Explorer Project" is a plan that has no choice but to "get into trouble" everywhere in order to find a home. However, the time for the true development of human civilization is very short. Compared with the tens of millions of years of development of other intelligent civilizations, it is just a drop in the bucket. No, it is hard to imagine what kind of technology advanced alien civilizations possess.
Therefore, Zhou Xing said that it was not safe, and everyone understood it very well.
"Mr. Zhou, since the 'Explorer Project' is so dangerous, do you have a third plan? Find a safe place to hide, or find a reliable support?" Star Wars Commander Chen Xiaolin looked at Zhou with bright eyes. Xing, asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Chen Xiaolin, nodded and said, "Yes, I can't hide it from General Chen."
"Is it the Titan number? Will the Titan be repaired soon?" Professor Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"That's almost it! When the inspection results of the first 'Explorer' come out, we should rush to the Titan galaxy." Zhou Xing nodded, smiled, and ordered.
"clear!"
Hearing this, everyone was refreshed and excited.
