Chapter 1050 The Jump Point Fortress and the Future of Friends
==========
At the time when Lingxue and Konghuan were feeling headaches for the bewildered period after killing the Zerg, after the attack on Baiyue was completed, the three main fleets had already started their next mission.

One team stays in place and prepares to build an orbiter at the core base on the surface of Baiyue, then build an airport in the orbit of Baiyue as the home port of this fleet. Before that, this fleet will fly around Baiyue like a satellite In terms of personnel supply, it relies on shuttles and surface careful orbiters to communicate;

The other fleet is going directly to Blue Moon, it will become the garrison fleet of Blue Moon like the previous fleet, and there, the airport has been built;

As for the last one, it began to move towards the active point of the transition discovered by the friends during the previous Pumi Garcia transition.

Of course, the final fleet is obviously not going to jump somewhere. The Pengzu's current jump technology has not yet been finalized. Although it has begun to test small spaceship creatures to jump back and forth, the manned test is just beginning to prepare.

Therefore, the mission of this fleet will be to garrison there and assist in the construction of the first stargate defense fortress of the friends.

"As the active point of transition closest to the future home planet of our friends, sufficient defense facilities must be built to ensure safety," said the people from the Ministry of Industry in the Military Academy, explaining to a group of members.

In front of everyone is an array of honeycomb space stations arranged like a ring.

"This is the shape of the fortress we are going to build. Because of the cosmic environment, the completely empty area makes it easy for us to build defensive facilities. Therefore, everything starts with a blank. But because of this, we Only then can the fortress structure be built as one likes."

The first thing to light up are those honeycomb objects in the fortress.

"These are the regular structures of the fortress, which can meet the daily needs of 3 to 100 people here. Of course, this is not a space city, but a fortress, so in fact, only 2 people are needed for daily operations, and the rest are automated machinery and experiments. The 700C-level artificial brain control in the room; plus the resident fleet under combat readiness, only [-] people are needed; and the design capacity can gather the current six main fleets of the whole family."

"Will it be a waste?"

Someone raised a question: "If it is necessary to gather six fleets, it may be better to move the airport in this case. Such a fortress is definitely not as strong as the support of six airports; and in a state of peace, such a huge The fortress only garrisons a fleet, but it will cause a waste of resources."

"We have also considered this issue, but we have to take a long-term view."

The narrator of the Ministry of Industry called up another image material.

"According to the forecast of the Strategic Research Department, with the emergence of the Zerg and Pumi Garcia, our friends will probably skip the loneliness period that most cosmic civilizations have to go through, and directly enter the cosmic society. At that time, in order to ensure safety, in the While the whole family encourages cultivation to improve personal strength, we will also build more, larger and more powerful fleets..."

"It's certainly better to have more fleets, but what about people?"

"This is not our responsibility, but combined with the current development of our family's technology and changes in the social situation of the whole family, I guess that the future fleet will be more automated, and even become unmanned. Even if it is not unmanned, then there are Great potential to expand the number of non-friend crews."

Everyone thought about it, and these things are trending now, so they all nodded in approval.

Obviously, although Lingxue and the others' Supreme Council of Elders have not yet issued an order, most of the smart friends have already seen this trend.

"Since it is a fortress, let's talk about combat effectiveness first."

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do."

The narrator lights up several independent or fused points in the holographic image and zooms in on them: "Although this brood battle is not over yet, we are also experimenting with a few of our designs, the Heaven's Punishment Level and Spirit The lethality of the power shock platform is obviously satisfactory, so it is of course used as the main attack unit of the fortress..."

"Psychic shock platform is easy to say, it can build the crystals needed for the Heavenly Punishment level..."

"This, we have learned about the situation from the technical department, and they now propose two solutions: one is to replace it with another artificial crystal, the output is good, and it only needs to be put into production. One factory can provide six ships within a year. The required crystals of the level..."

"Really!" The eyes of the military academy officials present suddenly lit up.

"It's true, but... the power is a little smaller..."

"How much smaller?" If the difference is not very large, then it is acceptable.

"If artificial crystals are used, the limit range of the Heaven's Punishment Class will be shortened to 1800 kilometers, and the effective range will remain the same, but the energy intensity at the effective range will have to be reduced to 14,000N. Moreover, the duration of a single attack will also It was reduced to 8 seconds, but the buffer time was correspondingly shortened to 10 minutes."

"This... has both gains and losses. Generally speaking, it is still a lot. Well, then go to the technical department to find out the specific situation. If there is no problem, apply to the Supreme Elderly House," said the highest-ranking military officer present. The dean gave the order impatiently.

Then, he looked at the narrator expectantly: "So, what about another method?"

"The other one is pretty good, but there is no final conclusion yet. When attacking the brood, didn't the opponent show a ray array?"

Several people nodded.

"The members of the technical department accompanying the army found that the crystal effect on the top of the ray array building is very similar to the natural crystals currently used by the Heavenly Punishment Level. And we all know that although the Zerg collects resources, they will not use them directly, but will Transform it into form."

"So, if we can get the method of making this crystal, then the Heavenly Punishment class can be developed without reducing the quality."

"Even if we can't get it, the number of crystals that appear on the surface of the existing brood is enough for us to build another 21 Heavenly Punishment-class ships."

"Great!"

This is really good news. Compared with the jump point fortress, which is not yet known how useful it is, the offensive weapon that can be held in the palm of the hand is obviously more in line with the appetite of these guys in the Military Academy.

I also know this very well, so the commentator will talk about these things first.

"I don't need to say much about another mental power shock platform. It has high combat effectiveness and is easy to manufacture, but it has limitations. It should still be possible to deal with those enemies who have just jumped out by surprise."

■

"So, the resources for building the fortress are not enough?" Lingxue looked at the designers of the Ministry of Industry unexpectedly.

The government's restructuring has also affected the Ministry of Technology. In the past, the Ministry of Technology, which had great power and controlled almost all of its friends, naturally encountered the difficulty of splitting up. Things related to construction were assigned to the Ministry of Industry.For example, space stations and fortresses, of course, are all the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry.

"I'm very sorry, due to unknown reasons, the work efficiency of factory workers in various places has recently declined, which has caused the overall development to slow down, so that it has affected many industrial plans."

"unknown reason?"

Lingxue looked directly at the designer in front of her. The other party hesitated for a moment, but she still called her truthfully: "Actually, it's because everyone's enthusiasm for work has begun to decline. Many people feel too tired, but the government has not canceled the compulsory part-time job for the time being, so... "

"So you started to be lazy, didn't you?"

With a sneer, Lingxue actually only had helplessness but no anger in her heart.

"The construction of the jump point fortress is the key point, but since it has been slowed down, then... let's prepare the main building and module structure first. As for offensive weapons, first install the spiritual shock platform. Some conventional weapons can be directly drawn from the atmosphere. , anyway, they are idle and have nothing to do, let's take it step by step."

"Yes."

Looking at the designers of the Ministry of Industry who left in embarrassment, Lingxue couldn't help shaking her head.

After thinking about it, she found Dark Blood in the Black Bone Clan and Chu Xia in the Shadow Clan through the Pengzu network connected anytime and anywhere.

"What's the matter?" the two asked.

"I just want to ask how far the Shadow Clan and the Black Bone Clan have progressed. Now the clan has begun to feel slack after the war, even among non-friends. It seems that the Shadow Clan, especially the Black Bone Clan The construction of the Bone Race must be accelerated."

"It's okay to speed up," Dark Blood said, "However, I always feel that in this way, we are actually letting friends enter the stage of having nothing to do in advance."

"Lingxue, what exactly are you thinking?" Chu Xia also asked worriedly.

"it's actually really easy."

"I just want to enter this society in advance before most of my friends become accustomed to being lazy and doing nothing due to the gradual change of society."

She put forward her idea in front of everyone for the first time: "In this way, people who are suddenly idle will obviously subconsciously look for something to fill in the blank, so things like cultivation at this time can make people who are not completely lazy The people who come down find new goals, and then complete the transformation of our family ahead of schedule, instead of waiting until everyone has become lazy before proposing transformation or something."

"Besides," the corner of Lingxue's mouth twitched, obviously thinking of something bad: "Everyone knows what the main consciousness of our friends is like, and friends will be influenced by him more or less. And causing the whole family to become like that, it’s not very good.”

Thinking back to Kong Huan, who said it sounded good but was indifferent and peaceful, and said it sounded bad was just too lazy to do anything, not wanting to think about anything, both Dark Blood and Chu Xia suddenly had black lines all over their heads.

"Well, since this is the case, the Black Bones should be able to start replacing friends in basic work within half a year."

"The Shadow Clan is also going well. In fact, if necessary, we can start to replace most of our friends' jobs now," Chu Xia replied.

"In this way... the work of the Dunjia tribe has never overlapped with that of friends, and the evolution of automation will gradually separate them. As for the moon spirits, they have always been low-level technicians... Then, friends only need to leave the work of cultural research. , the rest of the people, let’s practice hard.”

In a few words, the future of the friend is decided in the discussion of the three core elders.
