In the interstellar age, the concept of time is different. Perhaps if you fall asleep during the journey, you will wake up decades later. A few months is just a blink in the eyes of the stars.
When Chu Jungui looked at the time again, he was shocked to realize that 4 months had passed. He moved his consciousness away from the starship design in front of him, still reluctant to let go.
In order to perfect this design, it took several months without realizing it. During this period of time, the dynasty's military has established close contact with Lightyear, and has conducted three large-scale feedbacks, and hundreds of small immediate feedbacks. In this way, both parties completed the final design of the new battleship with astonishing efficiency, finalized it, and placed a formal order. The new capital ship was named the Frostwolf class by the dynasty, depriving Le Mans of the fun of naming. However, the guy who named the name from the military didn’t have any good intentions. Creatures like wolves are born to fight in groups. The military was determined to use the Lightyear Starship’s superior cost-effectiveness to win through quantity, so the first batch of orders was for 3 ships. , regardless of whether light years can be created or not.
The efficiency of the military makes Chu Jungui a little envious. The improvement and modification of the establishment map is not a small project. The military can give feedback so quickly, indicating that a large amount of computing power is used. This is what Chu Jungui currently lacks most. s things. In the past few months, Lightyear's production capacity has continued to explode, and biochips have also increased dozens of times. Currently, the entire Lightyear's computing power is roughly equivalent to a super computer. The computing power used by the military is at least hundreds of times that of light years.
Compared with Brother Dao, the growth efficiency of the wise man is much worse, not at all an order of magnitude. In this way, if a wise person wants to improve computing power, it will be difficult for him to take the route of winning by quantity. He can only constantly optimize the internal structure and algorithm. However, the potential for such refined improvement is limited, and it is not as simple and crude as Brother Dao.
Fortunately, in less than a month, Brother Dao reached the limit, which was lower than the Le Mans model. When Brother Dao reached the limit, he grew into a terrifying life form with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers. Fortunately, it did not move at all, it just kept silent. Absorb light and heat, then split into daughter bodies. When the growth stopped, Brother Dao's rate of dividing daughter bodies increased significantly, with the number of divisions exceeding 100,000 every day. The total number of daughter bodies exceeded 5 million in less than two months, and then he stopped dividing new daughter bodies.
Now, there are engineering beasts everywhere inside and outside Planet 4. On the contrary, there are not enough engineering ships for operation. Lightyear's own production capacity cannot supply it at all, forcing Chu Jungui to spend tens of billions to outsource several more. Thousands of engineering ships.
The total number of engineering ships in planetary orbit has now exceeded 200,000, but there are still millions of engineering beasts waiting silently for equipment. Before there were new engineering ships, they would go to work on the planet's surface. 00,000 engineering ships is actually extremely astonishing. As long as the supplies of materials are available, the production capacity has exceeded Comet de Frey dozens of times. Devry's Comet is an orbital shipyard that employs more than 100,000 people. It has no more than 20,000 engineering ships on hand, and only one or two thousand engineering ships can maintain daily activities. In fact, the dispatch rate of Devry's Comet's engineering ships is not bad. In any case, Devry's Comet also built battleships in the past, and it can still exceed the industry average. The reason for the low dispatch rate is that engineering ships are delicate equipment that often need to be used for decades. They generally maintain part of the work, part of the maintenance and repairs, and part of the training all year round, so under normal circumstances no more than half of them can work.
Another reason is engineers. Engineers who can drive engineering ships are also rare talents in the interstellar era. They often need several years of rigorous training before they can work independently. Both the dynasty and the federation have strict limits on the working hours of engineering ship pilots. Even genetically optimized modern humans would find it difficult to work inside an engineering ship for a long time. Engineering ships are not cargo ships, and an operational error may cause heavy losses.
Engineering beasts do not have such problems. They are smart and strong, with unlimited physical strength. They are not allowed to eat or drink, have no excretion, have no inappropriate thoughts, and do not need to be paid. It can be said that these engineering beasts laid the foundation for the ultra-low cost of the Lightyear Starship.
Chu Jungui glanced at the communication channel, but there was no new news in it. This period of time was surprisingly peaceful. There was no follow-up to the last incident where Chu Jungui used force to force the Fourth Fleet back, as if it had never happened at all.
There is not much movement from the doctor, and even the daily news is much less. It seems that the research on real dreams has encountered a bottleneck. The doctor is not someone who gives in easily, not to mention the competition from the Federation and the Community. It’s just that there’s no telling when a breakthrough will be made in the research on this kind of supernatural phenomenon.
Everyone else was busy doing their own thing, and there was basically no sound. Therefore, during this period of time, Chu Jungui was able to hibernate on Planet 4 and concentrate on research, and all his results were the design drawings of a new starship in front of him.
But faced with this design that took nearly half a year of hard work and mobilized half of the entire planet's computing power, Chu Jungui was unusually hesitant and did not activate it immediately.
He came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the dock in the distance.
Countless engineering ships are busy flying in and out around the huge dock, like a tireless swarm of bees. The outline of the Frostwolf-class battleship has been vaguely visible in the dock, and the construction speed is extremely alarming. In several other space bases, efforts are being made to build related equipment and structural parts.
Just in front of Chu Jungui, more than a dozen engineering ships flew towards the dock, dragging an already built structural part. This structural member is more than 100 meters tall and has a mass of more than 100,000 tons. Structural parts of this size are very common in space. There are many structures exceeding one million tons, and there are even larger ones.
It's just that these engineering ships flew extremely fast, far exceeding the safe speed of the workers. When approaching the dock, all the engineering ships slowed down at the same time, quickly reducing their speed. By the time the speed slowed down to the construction speed, they were already less than a thousand meters away from the ship. rice. Then, as soon as these engineering ships were pushed forward, the structural parts were accurately placed at the designated positions. The whole process went smoothly without any mistakes.
In fact, the installation process, which took no more than 10 minutes, took a full day on Comet Devry. They need to start decelerating hundreds of kilometers away, and the entire deceleration process takes nearly ten hours. With so many engineering ships moving simultaneously, the structural parts will be damaged if you are not careful. Therefore, usually a large special transport ship is used to transport the structural parts to the side, and then a small engineering ship installs them. Engineering ships such as Lightyear directly dragged the structural parts over, accelerated and decelerated them hard, and successfully installed them at the place in one go. Only engineering beasts could do this.
Chu Jungui frowned slightly, connected to the wise man, and said, "Wake up Brother Dao, I want to talk to him about something."
