The intact tanks formed a circle on the outside, with a tank at each corner standing 1,000 meters away on guard. Half of the soldiers were on guard duty in the car, and the other half got out of the car to rest.
They expertly drove alloy piles into the ground, and then set up tarpaulins made of organic composite materials on top. This way at least you don't have to be bothered by the annoying acid rain. Then put up a few light sticks all over the camp, and a decent-looking camp will be built.
Chu Jungui sat at a simple table, projected blueprints one by one, and discussed them with the officers around him. At this time, there was a low buzzing sound in the air, and then a short and thick aircraft landed outside the camp.
This is the contact method set by Chu Jungui. He transmits information by launching an aircraft to a location set in advance. Every time Chu Jungui sends an order to the fortress, the location of the next communication aircraft will also be given.
The soldiers recovered the aircraft and sent it to Chu Jungui. Chu Jungui opened the outer shell of the aircraft, took out a biochip and read the data.
The chip contains the current production status of the Fortress, plus a letter from Le Mans. The letter stated that the team of scientists had a new idea and might be able to design a spacecraft that could repeatedly shuttle through storm clouds and be very cheap.
Reuse already means it's cheap, and on top of that it's very cheap, which hits Chu Jungui's weakness.
A key factor in this solution is that it requires a large amount of rhenium. There is not much of this metal on Planet 4, at least it has not been found so far, and only a negligible amount can be extracted from the massive amounts of processed soil. Of course, there is now a new way with quite stable and considerable output, which is the federal tank. Of course, mecha production is higher.
Chu Jungui didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw it. However, this was an impossible task for others, but for Chu Jungui it was another matter. Chu Jungui didn't need to clean the battlefield thoroughly, he just needed to pick up some fragments. He does not need to completely defeat his opponent, as long as he temporarily retires the Knights of the Round Table.
This is not difficult. The test subject can complete half of it alone, and the remaining half can be completed by Roland and everyone together.
In addition, new construction projects have begun. The name of the project is called Ark, but Le Mans vaguely suggested that the layout of Ark seems to be able to be optimized a little more.
Chu Jungui threw the original Ark blueprint to the chip, and the chip responded a few minutes later: the current solution is the shortest time consuming, uses the least materials, and has unlimited scalability. As for elegance and beauty, Chip didn't mention a word about it.
So Chu Jungui decided not to change the original plan.
He summoned the officers who were following him, projected the terrain around the Knights of the Round Table base, and began to study the next course of action. According to the supplies and ammunition, we can fight two more battles, and then we have to return to the fortress to replenish.
In the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, Le Mans held up his personal terminal and was testing the parameters of the blueprint. In front of him was the fortress square, which used to be a berth for transport ships. It was extremely spacious and suitable for large-scale project construction.
Yes, there is a big project under construction in front of him.
A flat plate 10 meters wide and 30 meters long has already taken shape. It is not yet finished. The frame has just been spliced, and workers are climbing on it to add fasteners and then cover it with a layer of armor plates. In this way, a 60 cm thick platform is finally formed.
Two engineering vehicles carrying huge driving wheels drove out of the factory and came to the flat plate. The staff installed the driving wheels on both sides of the flat plate. The diameter of the driving wheel is 3 meters, and the suspension part integrates shock absorption, driving and steering functions. And the suspension arms are obviously higher than normal, which is obviously more inclined to off-road function.
This complex driving wheel actually only has two steps in the process. A large manufacturing machine builds the driving structure at one time, then makes the tires, and then puts them together.
Two drive wheels are mounted on the narrow end of the platform. It turns out that 30 meters is not the length of the new platform, but the width.
The drive wheels are installed and workers have begun extending the platform forward. They moved pieces of prefabricated frames and spliced them directly onto the original platform to continuously increase the length. When the sides of the platform extended ten meters, two new driving wheels were delivered and installed on the platform.
At this time, the platform was relatively stable, so the workers removed the support frame below, replaced it with the driving wheel support, and continued to build the platform forward.
The frames that make up the platform are all standard one square meter, and the armor plates and solid parts are also all standard sizes. Workers holding multi-functional construction tools only need to place the frame in the predetermined position, click a few times with the construction tool to secure it, and the installation is completed. The armor plates installed later also have a fixed role.
Le Mans looked at the blueprint in his hand. Today's scheduled work is to build the entire base. After it is built, including the driving wheels, it will be a large platform 40 meters wide and 100 meters long, supported by 10 pairs of driving wheels. The platform is not completely enclosed, and eight 4-square-meter voids are reserved in the middle. This is where the anti-gravity engine will be placed, as well as the upward atmospheric thruster nozzle.
Le Mans was a little confused about this design. Normally, two anti-gravity engines would be enough. As a result, the Ark installed eight of them at once. Is this a mobile base or a spaceship?
As for the spacecraft, it would be driven entirely by gravity and require an extremely complex control system. Such a spacecraft would only crash if it entered Planet 4. The Lancers dropped at least a dozen spaceships in their early explorations before settling back to using old-fashioned propelled spaceships.
LeMans grabbed what little hair he had left and tried to think through the pros and cons of this design. After all, the cube chariot had already shown miraculous effects before, and this larger cube, no, the ark, should also be outstanding.
It's just that Le Mans feels that it is very difficult to understand Chu Jungui's design ideas. There are too many ideas that can be found in blind corners of thinking, not to mention those anti-human designs. From this point of view, Xiao Kaitian has many similarities with Chu Jungui.
Speaking of Kaitian, Le Mans is both happy and troubled. As soon as Chu Jungui came back, Kaitian immediately got into working mode, and his efficiency increased exponentially. I don’t know if it’s because it’s happy, because it has hope, or because it just didn’t like the people at Le Mans before?
Xiao Kaitian's growth rate and computing power are growing rapidly, basically doubling every few days. Now Kaitian's computing power index has reached 2. Although it is definitely not worth mentioning, the growth rate is extremely amazing, and according to the current trend, there is no end to the growth in sight.
It’s just that there are more and more anti-human parts in Kaitian’s designs, and in the face of Le Mans’ accusations, it is still plausible:
"Why should I take care of the meaningless needs of a group of unevolved lower life forms? What is a waist? Why does it hurt? Besides, I don't see the waist on your body."
