With energy, there is everything. This is the truth just discovered by the test subjects.
With abundant energy supply, Chu Jungui's method of obtaining materials was extremely simple and crude. He didn't even bother to look for minerals. The way to obtain basic materials was to dig the ground and refine the soil.
If it weren't for the fact that the refining furnaces made by manufacturing machines had limitations in terms of temperature and technology, Chu Jungui would have even wanted to build a fusion furnace to directly synthesize elements artificially and combine whatever was missing.
The scheduled construction period of the new starship exceeds 4 months, which is completely unacceptable at the moment. There is no solution, which is to expand the orbital station. In addition, Chu Jungui will also produce three additional transport ships to shuttle between the ground and the orbital station to transport materials.
Although the new starship has been greatly simplified, it is a regular starship after all. The construction workload will not be much less, and Chu Jungui cannot blindly optimize it. For example, the living environment of the crew during long-distance voyages is very important. It is impossible to just install a seat like the previous starships.
Just like that, after another round of preparations, Chu Jun returned to the orbital station. He carried a four-meter-long structural beam, flew to the construction site of the orbital station, lowered the structural beam, and installed the first connecting fastener on it.
This is a sign of the start of construction of a new starship.
Chu Jungui felt nothing, but Li Ruobai was quite excited. This means that the Lightyear Corps has officially entered the field of starship manufacturing. Even if the new starship has mediocre performance, has various flaws, and some key technologies are very backward, it is still a starship, a regular military starship.
After the connecting fasteners were installed, engineers docked another section of the structural beam. The connecting firmware melts due to self-heating, firmly splicing the two sections of structural beam into one. In this way, sections of structural beams are spliced and continuously extended to become the central axis keel. Using this as the axis and then assembling the skeleton, the main structure of the starship will gradually take shape.
The first second-generation biological mastermind Bonfire built according to the plan given by Dr. Zero is placed in the orbital station. It tracks the work progress and quality of each engineer, allocates new work tasks immediately, and adjusts the factory production sequence of the orbital station to ensure that each engineer can get the needed materials and parts as soon as possible when he is free.
Thousands of engineers shuttled back and forth, like tireless worker ants. Soon, the skeleton of a huge starship gradually took shape.
Chu Jungui returned to the office, where he could see the entire starship construction site. He pulled up the blueprints and continued to make improvements and tweaks. After running through the data again and feeling that nothing could be changed, Chu Jungui closed the design drawing, left the office, and flew to the dock. A transport ship has just docked, releasing a large amount of supplies from its cargo hold. Most of the materials are pre-processed components that can be used directly with a little processing. There are also a small portion of raw materials.
Chu Jungui took this transport ship back to Base No. 2. In the center of the base, a new building is rising based on the command building. The exterior wall of this building is 150cm thick, the surface is covered with an entire layer of armor plates, and the floors are also paved with armor plates. This building is the newly built Biological Master Brain Center, with space reserved for 100 bonfires.
Now there is only one biological master brain in the entire legion, but it is working hard to produce second-generation biochips. It won't be long before this building will be gradually filled.
Chu Jungui now placed all important buildings on the ground. Construction machinery cannot excavate underground as well as war beasts, and is at least one level behind in terms of flexibility. Chu Jungui simply arranged the entire underground space into a fortified fortress, and all important buildings were placed on the ground. This way the buildings are within fire protection range.
Although the focus gradually shifted to space, Chu Jungui was still wary of Brother Dao's counterattack. The lessons learned from the Federal Fortress were right in front of him.
Time passed day by day, and the Swan came and went and came again. Lin Xi's fleet had two more destroyers, that's all. It wasn't that no one was willing to follow her, but that Lin Xi rejected all subsequent applications to join, including two heavy cruisers. In fact, when the two heavy cruisers also wanted to join, Lin Xi realized the seriousness of the situation.
Heavy patrols are the most important mobile force on the battlefield and can determine a local battle. The strength of the Ninth Fleet following the mobile base is already stretched thin, and if there are two less heavy cruisers, it will be really dangerous.
Lin Xi did not mind accepting escorts and expelling such light starships before, nor did he refuse light cruisers. This was because with the support of Chu Jungui's material and energy supplies, the combat power of these warships could be fully utilized, and even Ruswan has surpassed its original combat power.
The fleet led by Lin Xi is attacking everywhere, putting increasing pressure on the federation, and the number of troops being restrained is also increasing day by day. She even appeared outside an important planetary base of the Federation, forcing the Federation to raise the defense level of all bases.
But the core of the battle has always been the mobile base and the two battleships accompanying the mobile base. Lin Xi knew this very well. The heavy cruiser is the most important barrier for the battleship. Once the battleship makes a mistake or the mobile base is forced to evacuate, the entire battle will be over.
Now Lin Xi is using mobile forces to contain the federal military as much as possible and delay the war. She watched with her own eyes the starship on the orbital station platform from the keel to the frame, to the installation of the main gun and energy supply system, and then to the hull shell and engine. A real outer space starship is gradually emerging from scratch.
This is something the Federation would never have imagined, and no one could be more aware of the power of this starship under construction than Lin Xi. The longer the delay, the more pressure will be on the side of the Federation and the side of the Dynasty Joint Command.
Lin Xi came and left quietly both times, without even saying a few words to Chu Jungui. At this moment, Chu Jungui was as cold as a stone. He would often stay awake for days and nights, completely focused on the starship, making modifications and improvements anytime and anywhere.
Countless data about starships are rapidly accumulating, and the second and third Bonfire Master Brains have been transported to the orbital station to provide computing power. At this moment, Chu Jungui, no matter how much computing power he has, is not enough. The angle of each attitude engine of the new starship must be extremely precise to fully unleash the power of the starship.
Every small adjustment is a systematic project, which means that the corresponding parts of the entire design drawing must also be changed accordingly. In this way, during the process of construction and adjustment, Chu Jungui's starship design and manufacturing standards also improved by leaps and bounds, and he gained a deeper understanding of starship single-ship combat.
The data is not only accumulated in the master's brain, but also in Chu Jungui's heart. When the data accumulates to a certain level, changes suddenly occur. From the original basic fighter combat version 0.1a, a new component was derived: basic starship melee combat version 0.1a.
