My science and technology museum

"It doesn't feel special. It's a pity that there is no place to test the power in the battleship."

Not long after.

When Xingtong completed the installation of the left arm.

Xu Lei sat up, lowered his head and looked at the palm of his left arm carefully.

With a slight movement of thought, a cannonball launch port suddenly appeared in the palm of the hand. However, since the cannonball placed in the arm has better performance than the tungsten alloy warhead of the battleship's main weapon, if the launch test is carried out inside the ship, it is very likely to cause damage to the Shenzhou. Serious damage.

If it affects the main business, then the gain outweighs the loss.

So Xu Lei temporarily resisted the idea of ​​firing, and waited until he left the battleship before conducting the test.

After all, although he has completed the transformation of his body, he has not yet replaced the Qiankun-3 micro-nuclear fusion device.

It can be said that even if he wants to activate the rail gun in his left arm, there is no way.

After all, ordinary energy alone is not enough to provide powerful launch energy for cannonballs.

Fortunately, there is no doubt about Xingtong's efficiency. Just when Xu Lei was thinking about this, he saw that she had already held Qiankun No. 3 in her hand.

"boss."

"I want to take out the ordinary energy from your body first."

"Then install Qiankun No. 3."

As he spoke, Xingtong's right hand easily opened Xu Lei's chest and took out the ordinary energy inside.

Because Xu Lei did not release energy during this process to put his body into a safe defensive state, Xingtong was able to easily take out the ordinary energy from his chest and replace the Qiankun III nuclear fusion micro-device.

Otherwise, a body made of ordinary Xingpu alloy alone would not be able to break through Xu Lei's defense.

Look up carefully.

This Qiankun-3 is only the size of an adult man's heart.

The whole body exudes soft light.

It seems like a beautiful piece of art.

It's hard to think in terms of powerful energy devices.

It is worth mentioning that in order to successfully create the Qiankun-3 micro-nuclear fusion device, Xu Lei worked hard during this period. Several experiments failed and even caused explosions.

Fortunately, the Shenzhou's experimental cabin had been previously modified to increase defense, so it did not have much impact on the battleship itself.

As for Xu Lei himself, he was even finer.

You must know that his current body is an amorphous alloy mechanical body, and it is not that easy to kill him.

If it were the previous ordinary body, I'm afraid he would have died several times.

In the end, in order to create Qiankun No. 3 as soon as possible, Xu Lei had to make himself in the overclocking state for a long time with full preparation. In this state, his whole thinking was unprecedentedly clear, as if all the knowledge in his mind came alive. After coming over, it didn't take long to successfully complete the manufacturing of this device.

This feeling gave him the illusion of being in a science and technology museum space.

It seems that no matter what kind of problem you face, it can be solved easily.

However, from the manufacturing process of Qiankun 3, Xu Lei also understood that it is much more difficult to manufacture micro-scale nuclear fusion devices than the large-scale devices required for fusion power plants.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to popularize it on a large scale.

Under this circumstance, in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Space Force, the design of external weapons and equipment has become extremely important.

The next second.

As the Qiankun No. 3 nuclear fusion device was sent into his chest, Xu Lei felt that he was stronger than ever before when powerful energy surged through his body.

The power seems inexhaustible.

After directly turning on the overclocking state, he got down from the console and shouted directly to Xingtong: "Come outside the battleship with me and try out the power of this new weapon."

"Okay boss." Xingtong followed decisively with admiration on his face.

Taking advantage of the powerful effect of the overclocking state, Xu Lei had already issued operating instructions to the Shenzhou, prepared the landing ship on the starboard side in advance, and quickly arrived with Xingtong and sat in directly.

"Although the landing ship's flying speed is not fast, I believe it will be no problem to find a suitable test target."

Sitting in the driving position for the first time, Xu Lei looked at the large amount of data information on the instrument screen and murmured softly to himself.

If he wants to test the effect of the railgun built into his left arm, he will definitely have to go to space.

In this case, a planetary landing ship that can flexibly enter and exit battleships is undoubtedly the most suitable space vehicle. At that time, you only need to choose a meteorite as the attack target. That is, the amorphous alloy mechanical body does not have the ability to fly, otherwise it will directly Can leave the battleship and travel in space.

Since Xu Lei had not ended the overclocking state after installing the Qiankun-3 nuclear fusion micro-reactor, the battleship hatch had already been opened under his command.

There is no need to go through Star Pupil to do this at all.

To a certain extent, it can be said to be a lot more convenient.

"Right-3 planetary landing ship is allowed to leave the cabin." As the emotionless system command tone sounded from the communicator, Xu Lei decisively activated the landing ship and flew out of the Shenzhou, leaving only a beautiful tail for the maintenance personnel next to it.

Because after achieving mechanical ascension, Xu Lei's body shape is slightly taller than before, and his facial appearance has been slightly adjusted, which is still quite curious to the ordinary crew members below.

Seeing Xu Lei not even wearing a spacesuit, I couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

They discussed with each other while looking at the hatch that was gradually closing.

"That person just now must be our captain, Mr. Xu. He looks much taller."

As one of the crew members wearing ordinary blue cabin clothes took the lead in provoking the topic, someone next to him immediately picked up the conversation and said: "Congressman Xu has uploaded his consciousness into the amorphous alloy mechanical body. It is normal for the appearance to change slightly. , and speaking of driving a landing ship in this way, I’m afraid there are only a few people on the ship who can do it.”

"I think there is no change from before, he is still so handsome!"

"It is worthy of being the highest technological crystallization of human civilization. In terms of appearance alone, this amorphous alloy mechanical body is no different from any of us."

"What, you also want to mechanically ascend?" When the others heard their friend say this, they couldn't help but tease him immediately.

There is no doubt about the power of amorphous alloy mechanical body.

Xu Lei and Lei Zhan have both proven it.

It is understandable that ordinary people want to give up their status as carbon-based life forms and ascend mechanically, but everyone is also aware of the regulations on the management of mechanical bodies.

So the crew member who heard this idea also laughed and laughed at himself: "There are nearly two billion consciousnesses in the world that are in urgent need of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies to be resurrected. How can it be my turn? How long will it take?" When Shouzheng dies in ten years, you can think about it carefully."

"What you said is quite right." Several people looked at each other and smiled, agreeing with this answer.

The conscious body that falls asleep first has the priority to obtain the mechanical body. With the total number of conscious bodies and the manufacturing speed of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies, other normal people will not be able to think about mechanical ascension within twenty years.

On the contrary, if you are on the verge of death and use normal channels to upload your consciousness, it will be considered a new life.

His lifespan has been extended so much. Even if he joins the Space Force and serves in the Space Force, his life will be rich, colorful and thrilling.

So this is also the truest thought in most people's minds.

…

After Xu Lei piloted the You-3 planetary landing ship to break away from the Shenzhou and enter space, he did not scurry around like a headless fly. Instead, he quickly found a suitable meteorite target with the help of the warship's interstellar radar. It probably only took a few dozen minutes to fly. Time came to the coordinate position airspace.

As for Xingtong, he remained silent throughout the whole process.

Did not interfere with Xu Lei's actions.

Different from the previous situation, Xu Lei himself has completely grown up now.

No need to rely too much on external forces.

When the speed of the landing ship gradually slowed down, Xu Lei directly opened the hatch, exposing most of his body to space.

After all, machines don't have to breathe like humans do.

And this is also the reason why Xu Lei wants to bring Xingtong here. If it were any other normal person, his body would be almost unable to support himself at this moment and he would not be able to survive at all.

"The diameter is less than a hundred meters, but it's not too small." Xu Lei focused on the meteorite at this time, and instantly got the size of the meteorite, and he was quite satisfied with it.

This meteorite is similar to Pluto in terms of color, but its diameter is only a few dozen meters. Fortunately, its flying speed is not very fast. When the landing ship moved relatively stationary, Xu Lei slowly lifted his head. He raised his left hand and pointed his palm at the meteorite.

"The power of a rail gun powered by nuclear fusion reaction energy shouldn't disappoint me."

As the thoughts in his mind moved secretly, the rail gun launch port soon appeared in the palm of his hand, and the rail gun warhead was fired from it.

With the powerful energy provided by nuclear fusion reactions, the orbital gun's flight speed cannot reach one thousandth of the speed of light of the heavy railgun used as the main weapon on the battleship, but it is not much different.

Thousands of kilometers were quickly covered.

The warhead shot into the interior of the meteorite like a knife into tofu, and then triggered the fragmentation fuse and exploded into multiple fragments.

To maximize the killing range.

Seeing the meteorite turned into pieces, Xu Lei couldn't help but take a breath. He didn't expect that Xingtong's transformed body would be so powerful.

In an instant, I just felt a sense of security.

"This kind of power really brings me a lot of surprises. If there is a chance to sneak attack on the warship, it will definitely make it incapable of combat." He murmured this in surprise, and then turned around to face Xingtong. Praising: "The modified weapons are very effective, you have been a big help."

"Xingtong is very happy to be able to help the boss." Xingtong answered with satisfaction.

The main purpose of coming out of the Shenzhou this time was to test the power and effect of the left-arm rail gun. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue wandering in space.

What's more, there are still many things waiting for Xu Lei to be responsible for solving.

Previously, due to the burden on his body, he did not dare to use his brain at will, and left many things to Xingtong to handle.

Now that we can enter the overclocking state at any time, we must carry out more technological research and development to help the construction of two planetary super cities and allow human civilization to realize interstellar immigration as soon as possible.

Qin Xiaoman also needs more attention.

The research on genetic optimization fluid is conducive to the increase of human physical fitness and life span, and is the best way for Xu Lei to preserve the lives of his parents. However, because the technology is too complex, it is impossible to rely solely on Qin Xiaoman and other scientists in related fields to study these few There has been no progress in months.

I don’t know how many years it will take to wait for the first generation of genetic optimization solution to come out.

Of course, Xu Lei can also spend his influence directly from the Science and Technology Museum to purchase this technology exhibit.

Although he currently only has more than 10 million points of influence and cannot be purchased for the time being, I believe that as more and more amorphous alloy mechanical bodies come out, his total influence will definitely grow explosively.

You must know that according to calculations, the annual production capacity of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies can exceed hundreds of millions.

The influence value converted will never be less.

However, Xu Lei still prefers to conduct research and development on his own to further improve the scientific research level of human civilization and light up more technology trees.

In this way, the saved influence can be used to purchase other technology exhibits.

…

After returning to the Shenzhou with Xingtong, Xu Lei's next schedule became more routine.

In addition to continuing to design detailed plans for the two planetary megacities, there will occasionally be field trips to the moon and Mars to provide key constructive suggestions.

As for the space shipyard, Wu Chuping and Li Chengzhe are in charge, and the entire battleship manufacturing process is relatively mature, so Xu Lei is very relieved and has only a handful of inquiries.

Therefore, in his free time, he would go to the experimental cabin where the genetic optimization fluid project is located.

Use overclocking status to improve R\u0026D progress.

Coupled with the rapid learning and improvement of Qin Xiaoman and others, there has finally been some progress. Perhaps the final effect cannot be compared with the collections in the Science and Technology Museum, but as long as it can have an effect on humans, it is worth it.

It is also worth mentioning that the task of paying attention to extraterrestrial civilizations has been given to Xingtong.

As early as the implementation of the ten-year blueprint for human civilization, the Human Security Alliance launched a large number of detectors to the edge of the solar system to observe extraterrestrial civilizations in time, so as to prepare in advance and avoid the crisis of Pluto again. occur.

In addition, all radio telescopes and space telescopes are always searching for clues of suspicious extraterrestrial civilizations.

Mainly, this matter is related to the survival of human civilization. Xu Lei would not be able to rest assured if it were left to others to take charge, so he let Xingtong take over directly.

Unfortunately, no clues have been found so far.

As if extraterrestrial civilization does not exist at all.

Although it is a good thing that the solar system is safe and can provide more time for human civilization to complete its planning blueprint, Xu Lei is always vaguely worried about this.

As the saying goes, good and evil depend on each other.

There is no doubt that extraterrestrial civilization exists.

The consequences of Pluto on humans are the best proof.

At present, human beings still maintain their hatred for extraterrestrial civilizations and want to fight to the death with them. However, as time goes by and the days of stability become too long, the hatred in their hearts will gradually be forgotten, and they will even become unwilling to engage in war. This kind of thinking is not the same as that of extraterrestrial civilizations. It will be very scary when it does come.

However, Xu Lei has no way to control when extraterrestrial civilization will arrive. The only thing he can do now is to maximize his equipment and combat effectiveness.

that's all.

After the past month, good news suddenly came from the Space Shipyard.

After more than half a year, the Kunpeng, the first transport ship in the history of human civilization, has finally been completed and will officially enter service.

The Kunpeng is more than a kilometer long and has a huge storage space. It belongs to the category of medium-sized interstellar battleships.

Although it does not have combat capability, it will next carry the transportation of resources and the shipment of biological dormant cabins in the underground dormant base of the Earth to Mars and the moon to complete interstellar immigration.

This function is not available in ordinary cruisers.

It is precisely because of this value that Li Chengzhe specially sent an invitation message to Xu Lei, asking him to come to the Space Shipyard to participate in the launch ceremony of the Kunpeng.

Because the Shenzhou does not have a fixed parking place, and most of it flies in space, this will bring trouble to Li Chengzhe, Wu Chuping and others' work. Therefore, the two of them have been sitting directly in the space shipyard a long time ago to strictly supervise the interstellar space. Manufacturing of battleships.

Anyway, after many transformations and upgrades in the space shipyard, the internal platform has been equipped with a gravity system, so life on it will not be affected.

At least it is much more comfortable than Tiangong Space Station.

In fact, since the functions of the space shipyard have become more and more perfect, the role of the Tiangong Space Station has been weakened a lot. Now it is basically used as a connection point for the space elevator.

Originally, Xu Lei did not plan to attend the launching ceremony of the Kunpeng.

However, it happens that the Earth Star plans to hold a large-scale consciousness uploading experiment so that more conscious bodies can awaken with the help of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies. Xu Lei must not miss this very research-worthy occasion. The manufacturing base has been operating non-stop for a month, and the number of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies produced has reached millions.

If they all wake up, the Space Force will instantly become extremely powerful.

Of course, in non-wartime situations, most mechanical life forms will still be sent to the moon and Mars to help with city construction.

More importantly, using sleeping consciousness to upload an amorphous alloy mechanical body and fuse the two is a very bold and risky experiment. In addition, the number of experiments is very huge. If something unexpected happens in the middle If it does, it will definitely cause great losses to the alliance, which Xu Lei really doesn't want to see.

But if he were present, his overclocking status might still have some effect.

So after thinking about it, he agreed to Li Chengzhe.

…

Saturday, September 12, 2037.

Space shipyard.

Compared with the usual shipyard, this building now becomes more eye-catching.

Because there is a huge warship with a length of more than a kilometer parked in the middle. Its body is mainly black and its exterior is covered with thick armor. It seems that two words suddenly came to mind.

Thick.

Yes.

It's just thick.

As a non-combat transport ship, since the Kunpeng does not have combat capabilities, it has to work hard on defense.

That's why we have this thick armor.

Not only can it perfectly absorb the attack damage of space torpedoes, it is even difficult for heavy rail guns to penetrate, which greatly ensures the safety of warships.

And at this time, when you shift your sight to a parking platform at the edge corner, you will find a landing ship flying from a short distance, and then parked steadily at the platform.

"Is this our first transport ship Kunpeng? It really deserves this name." Lei Zhan walked out of the landing ship and his eyes were instantly attracted to the Kunpeng in front of him, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

Xu Lei was not surprised at all that Lei Zhan felt this way.

After all, everyone else stayed inside the platform to watch the Kunpeng being built, which was completely different from standing next to it and experiencing the visual impact with their own eyes.

That kind of huge gap is really inspiring.

"In the future we will have a larger and more powerful interstellar battleship." Xu Lei finally responded to Lei Zhan with a smile on his face, and then brought the topic back to business: "We'd better go in first, Commander Wu, can they be honest?" Waiting for us.”

After saying that, he walked ahead towards the core control room where Li Chengzhe and Wu Chuping were.

Hearing the sound of Lei Zhan, he naturally did not dare to hesitate and quickly followed up.

This time, in addition to participating in the launch ceremony of the Kunpeng, he also had to go to the Earth Star to be responsible for a large-scale consciousness upload, so he was destined to be unable to bring ordinary people there.

Although Xingtong has completed the replacement of the amorphous alloy mechanical body, Xu Lei deliberately chose Lei because he was manufacturing a new Qiankun-3 micro-scale nuclear fusion reaction device and had to supervise all detection equipment to pay attention to traces of extraterrestrial civilizations. Zhan followed him to Earth Star.

Lei Zhan is now a mechanical life form and has been transferred to work in the Space Force. He can be regarded as a professional opponent for this mission.

In the past, people had to use various tools to enter the space shipyard. This is probably the first time Xu Lei and Lei Zhan have walked in directly like this.

This is also thanks to the characteristics of amorphous alloy, which can possess various properties under the influence of energy, allowing the body to fit tightly to the shipyard platform, so that it will not float away even if you walk on it naturally.

Soon when the two entered the core control room, they were immediately greeted by Li Chengzhe and Wu Chuping who were ready to greet them.

Perhaps it was because they had just seen Xu Lei and Lei Zhan's operations, both of them were very excited, and even the looks they looked at Xu Lei were a little weird.

"I can't imagine that if I hadn't known that Councilor Xu had completed the consciousness upload, I might have thought he was an alien just now." Wu Chuping looked Xu Lei up and down carefully, and then spoke with emotion after making sure that he had not admitted his mistake. .

At the same time, Li Chengzhe who was next to him was not idle either. He quickly took over the conversation and said, "Who would have thought that humans can walk freely in space? This amorphous alloy mechanical body is really powerful."

Xu Lei was not surprised by the performance of the two men. After all, they had been responsible for the construction of the Kunpeng during this period and did not witness the consciousness uploading experiment of the Shenzhou that day.

However, Xu Lei's main focus this time was still on the Earth Star, and he didn't want to waste too long.

So after a few simple and implicit words, he said directly: "Has the final inspection procedure of the Kunpeng been completed? Can it be started?"

"I guarantee there will be no problem." Li Chengzhe said confidently.

that's all.

Next, as Wu Chuping and Li Chengzhe issued instructions one after another, they completed the information connection with the operators in the Kunpeng, and finally shouted out the last few words.

"Start the Kunpeng!"

As the sound fell, the twelve nuclear fusion engines of the Kunpeng were suddenly seen emitting a faint blue light.

All equipment is operating normally.

It marks the official commissioning of the first medium-sized interstellar transport ship in the history of human civilization.

Although this exciting scene was not broadcast live, it was also uploaded to the newly established Weilan website, making everyone excited while strengthening national confidence.
