And this is probably the culmination of all designs in the entire colonial ship.
Regardless of whether the designer drew lessons from the "online game" called Jialan Empire run by Xiao Ai, Lu Zhou admitted that he was indeed amazed to see such a beautiful man-made natural landscape within the boundaries of human civilization. .
"Haha, you guessed it," Zhong Ziyu laughed and said, "After all, it makes you feel that the money is worth spending, and I feel very happy!"
"The more surprising designs are yet to come," Lao Feng smiled and said with a hint of pride, "I bet even you will be amazed by what you see next!"
Lu Zhou also smiled and joked.
Lu Zhou glanced at him.
Whether it's the bridge at the front, the power room at the stern, or the cabin in a remote corner...
"I thought the design inside would be very compact," Lu Zhou looked around and continued with a slightly surprised tone, "I didn't expect the space inside to be so wide."
Although he could tell that the old engineer was praising from the bottom of his heart rather than saying flattering words, Lu Zhou felt uncomfortable for a while after being praised so well, even though he felt that he was already thick-skinned. Sorry.
"Are you Academician Lu? Nice to meet you! My name is Feng Zhi, and I am the person in charge here! You can call me Xiao Feng or Feng Gong!"
After confirming that the scene was not created by holographic technology, Lu Zhou muttered to himself.
Lu Zhou nodded and said nothing.
"here it is… "
He had seen similar designs in the ring world of the Jialan Empire. The carefully designed simulated ecological environment could boost the mood of the residents.
Finally, the group came to the central hall of the entire colonial ship.
Hearing these words, Feng Zhi was slightly stunned and said in confusion.
Feng Zhi said with a smile: "This is an ecological zone, a natural oxygen bar on a colonial ship. It covers a total area of 500 square meters and is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower, corresponding to wetland, ocean, and forest environments. In this In the ecological zone, hundreds of species of animals, plants and insect samples are stored. It is not only a sample library for scientific researchers to carry out biological research, but also a back garden for colonists to relax."
As we got closer and closer to the shipyard, the towering sight outside the portholes made everyone unconsciously stop talking and focus all their attention on the starship under construction.
Zhong Ziyu smiled and said: "I have seen their insurance information... OK, we are here."
Looking at the shipyard getting closer and closer outside the porthole, and the huge ship occupying all the berths, Lu Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly unconsciously.
"It can't be made public yet, but it will only be in the next few days," Zhong Ziyu pulled Lu Zhou aside and asked with a smile, "What do you think? Are you as satisfied with the space inside as it is outside?"
Zhong Ziyu said with a smile: "You can communicate with Academician Yang Chongping about this. He is the designer of this starship."
The ecological park is only a corner of the entire Noah's Ark. In addition, there are many amazing designs, all presented to Lu Zhou one by one.
Although Lu Zhou had already appreciated the grandeur of this colonial ship from the blueprint before coming here, when he actually stepped into this area, he was still surprised by everything inside.
Zhong Ziyu smiled and said, "Then do you know who owns Fuxing Mining Company?"
"It won't be demolished? But I heard that the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Group seems to have been bought by Fuxing Mining Company and plans to dismantle it into alloys..."
"It's as perfect as I imagined," Lu Zhou said in a rather emotional tone after looking around, "This is not so much a starship as it is an orbital habitat with both production and living functions. .”
Zhong Ziyu looked at his watch and said.
"You don't have to worry about this," Lu Zhou smiled lightly when he heard this and continued, "It won't be demolished."
"After all, in its original design concept, the situation that colonists would not be able to land on the planet's surface immediately had been taken into consideration." Looking at the tall tower in the center of the hall, Old Feng sighed softly, his expression suddenly changed a little. "To be honest, we can complete it in another year at most. It would be a pity to just dismantle it and smelt it into alloy..."
"I'm very satisfied, it's perfect," Lu Zhou continued after thinking seriously for a moment, "but considering that a warp engine will be installed in the future, some areas still need to be improved."
With that said, Old Feng walked in front and led the group to the interior of Noah's Ark.
A rectangular structure about ten kilometers long, the silver-white shell exudes a cold light under the sunlight, like a sharp sword piercing the cold night, hanging in the air next to the forge of the God of Fire.
Lu Zhou: "Where is he?"
After passing through the alloy arch, the scent of birdsong and flowers suddenly hit his face. For a moment, Lu Zhou thought he was back on earth. Looking at the soil under his feet and the surrounding vegetation, he reached out and touched it.
"No problem! Please come with me!"
Objectively speaking, its huge size is more like an asteroid than a starship.
Compared with the simple and monotonous appearance of the entire colonial ship, the interior space of this starship is unexpectedly unique.
"Haha, Academician Lu, you can rest assured that we will not delay the work at hand. All the work is being carried out step by step!" The old engineer, who was about fifty years old, smiled heartily and continued, " And you don’t know how much the young people in our design department admire you! The design of that warp engine is simply amazing, how did you come up with that design?”
The sense of spaciousness rather than compactness allows every square meter here to be reasonably utilized. Through elevators and conveyor belts, people standing here can quickly commute to any corner of the entire colony ship in ten minutes.
"Due to the sheer size, the entire Noah's Ark had to be constructed in sections and then assembled and welded," Zhong Ziyu continued eloquently while looking at the Noah's Ark outside the porthole window, "Even for To complete this starship, East Asia Heavy Industries also specially designed a shipbuilding equipment called a 'multi-axis linkage adjustable construction platform' to facilitate welding robots to assemble some starship structures that are too large."
"Before this, I was still hesitant about whether it would be too much of a loss to spend hundreds of millions of credits to buy this starship."
"Is this considered asking questions knowingly?"
Looking around with interest, Zhong Ziyu reached out and touched the leaves next to him, and joked with a smile: "I didn't expect that the life on the ship was quite romantic. If I hadn't been able to let go of the work in hand, I would have bought a boat ticket." .”
Just when Li Guangya was having a headache about Lu Zhou's choice, at this moment, Lu Zhou, Zhong Ziyu and others were standing on the shuttle to the East Asia Heavy Industries shipyard, talking and laughing.
Lu Zhou: "How did you know?"
Feng Zhi looked at the people present, was stunned for a moment and said: "...Whose is it?"
"Let's call him Lao Feng, to be more friendly," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "I'm just here to walk around casually today. You don't need to pay too much attention to us. You can just go about your own business."
With the docking of the connecting cantilever, the shuttle was successfully connected to the living area of the shipyard. Seeing Lu Zhou walking towards him through the gate of the buffer room, the engineer who came to greet everyone suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his right hand to greet him with joy on his face.
He admitted that he was surprised.
"Haha, you really know how to joke... If you want to be the president of a place like that, you'd better let me go."
Zhong Ziyu, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said casually.
After a while, he spoke softly with emotion.
"Aren't you considering going to Tiancang Wu to be the bank president? Or Nanmen No. 2 Branch."
"What now?"
"Theories are actually those theories... As for the specific design, half of it is slowly exploring, and the other half must have received a lot of help." Lu Zhou smiled and changed the topic without leaving any trace, "You can lead us Want to take a look inside Noah’s Ark?”
"He'll be there in a moment."
