Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Shilter, come with us and leave this place first."

"..." Shiter, holding the last popsicle, tilted his head, "Do you have any ice cream?"

So, can Grandma 42, who saved thousands of doctors from danger, be bribed with a popsicle?Then why do the swordsman towers sink when they draw cards?After shouting unwillingly from the bottom of his heart, Alpha still chose to introduce the current situation from all aspects.

"The blockade by the Ursus army sounds really troublesome. They have to burn too many things and can't get the ice cream..." So why is the invincible Miss Shirter's focus all on the ice cream!

"Okay, okay, I have ice cream there, what flavor do you want?"

Looking at the Bad Guy descending in the sky, Alpha shrugged.When I went out to look for the naughty kid who had wandered off from my neighbor's house, I actually picked up an extra Shirter. I was a bit too cool.

The Rhodes Island operators carried Mephistopheles and Faust onto the Bad Guy on a portable folding stretcher. Alpha sat on it with Shirte, and Shirte held her hand. The exaggerated sword sat obediently near the side door of the cabin. At first, several Rhode Island operators were a little scared. After all, she was a Sarkaz, and she also carried a dangerous-looking weapon.

But just after a while, Shirte took out a small notebook from his pocket and began to write and draw in it.

The fiery red Sakaz girl was holding a big sword that smelled of sulfur. Her long thighs wrapped in black silk were overlapped casually. Her high-heeled leather shoes were hitting the ground, unconsciously three-quarters of the way. The beat.The girl's eyebrows were lowered, with an ice cream stick hanging in her mouth, a short pencil and an old notebook in her hand. Her beautiful profile changed slightly with her expression, sometimes relaxing, sometimes frowning. He frowned as if he was thinking about something.

This is a pleasing picture, a flower with the smell of sulfur that can bloom wantonly in the most dangerous environment, a unique beauty of intertwined strength and appearance.

"Hey, Willow, you're stunned!"

"Ahem, how can there be..."

"There are so many cute girls on this ship. You don't usually look at them. Isn't it polite to look at outsiders when they are on a mission?" The action team leader twisted his subordinate's film ears and criticized him harshly in a low voice. The act of mind-wandering during a task.

The two people who were arguing didn't notice that the red Sakaz girl suddenly had a satisfied smile on her lips.Alpha, who was busy typing on his laptop, noticed that Shirter had crossed out a line of words in his notebook, "Cabin, sky, quarreling partners, very strong wind."

There are many completely different memories in Shirter's head, and among them there is a scene that fits the scene that is happening now, which can be regarded as a coincidence.

……

The Bad Guy quickly landed on the Life Star's tarmac in accordance with Alpha's request. Rhode Island needed to take some of the evacuated students away from the Ursus border first, in order to avoid more political disputes. Mephistopheles and Faust, after dealing with their injuries, need to be sent to the core city of Checheng so that Tallulah and the others can take responsibility for managing and educating these two children again.Landing on the most maneuverable Life Star became the easiest decision.

After landing, the Bad Guy unloaded its crew and completed Alpha's mission before preparing to take off and return to Rhode Island.There is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up. After docking at Longmen again in Rhode Island, it will also be responsible for transporting Tallulah from the Core City, which is still on the way, to Longmen to meet with Governor Wei Yanwu. If there are any problems along the way, they will be contacted. It is needed as a rapid response unit.

Looking at this aircraft that may be tens of thousands of years old, but still running around in the sky, Alpha came up with the plan to build two more aircraft for Rhode Island, but it would have to be approved by Kelsey. Whether the doctor can convince Kelsey to approve the payment, or whether the doctor can persuade Kelsey to approve the payment, is not an issue she needs to consider.

……

"Alfa, is this your home?" Following Alpha as she walked in the passage of the base walker, Shirter curiously looked at this unique vehicle. Here, she did not feel the restlessness of the Originium engine. It seemed like something quiet but powerful was driving this big ship.

"Yes, this is the Life Star Base Walker, my home and base of operations."

Passing through the passage of the maintenance hangar below the flight deck, on the laboratory deck, Alpha hugged Xuyu who was waiting to greet her.

"Who is she?" Xu Yu looked at the sulfur-smelling Sakaz girl and asked with some confusion.

"Her name is Shilter. I met her when I was looking for Sasha and Ino's children. The environment there was quite dangerous, so I brought her back." Alpha introduced with a smile, "Shilter Miss Er, this is Xu Yu."

"Hello." Shirter stretched out his hand carelessly to say hello to Ms. Argo in front of her.

"Hello." When Xu Yu answered, he glanced at Alpha.

After returning with Shirter, she walked around the base walker and got to know the members who were not many here. Then Miss Shirter dove into the ship's canteen.The ship's stock of tummy milk is running low, and ice cream is out of the question for the time being, but fruity candy popsicles are a standard labor protection food that Alpha always keeps in the canteen. In summer, mung bean soup is also provided to relieve the heat.Koloff, Petrova and Alina, who come from the snowfield, like to have one no matter what the weather is. I don’t know if it’s the same as eating ice cream in Harbin in winter.

"Miss Shirter, although you are in good health, I do not recommend that you consume too many cold drinks in a short period of time, as this can easily cause stomach cold, cramps or diarrhea." In line with the doctor's duties, Xu Yu kindly said reminded her.

The fiery red Sakaz girl nodded. She was still licking the popsicle, but it seemed that because of Xu Yu's warning, she licked a little slower.

"Those two boys..."

"The automatic medical warehouse treats moderate and mild burns very quickly, and the remaining soft tissue damage is not a big problem." Xu Yu nodded seriously, "Systematic analysis of their Originium skill configuration may be dangerous. Should we be more cautious?"

"They will figure out what they can and cannot do." After all, after hitting Lewontin with his head, no matter how unconvinced he is, people always have to learn a lesson.

89. Night Park at Longmen

Political mediation is what Kelsey is good at, and perhaps the Doctor has his own uniqueness in this aspect. Alpha is too lazy to get involved in those complicated exchanges of interests. In this matter, I believe in the wisdom of Tallulah and Rhode Island. That’s it.In other words, as an outsider who doesn't like hypocrisy and compromise, she is really not suitable to participate in it.

A week later, the Life Star and Rhode Island docked in the port area of ​​Longmen.Rhode Island is undergoing a series of loading and unloading work, and the Life Star is simply using the unoccupied berth of Rhode Island to replenish various consumables.

Alpha was very busy during this period. During the Qicheng Uprising, in order to provide a large number of drones and information relay nodes and build an information combat network, the Beilian quality printing production line on Base Walker consumed a lot of its service life.Alpha gave them a complete overhaul, spending a lot of her time maintaining equipment for which it was impossible to find spare parts and suppliers on Terra.

The complicated work was not in vain. Through constant trial and error and backtracking, Alpha has reverse-engineered all the necessary technologies for this system. BaseWalker's production equipment is highly sophisticated. During the renovation process, Alpha successfully cracked Beilian's The limitations set by the device on the hardware to ensure safety, quality printing that completely liberates performance, can theoretically self-proliferate and iterate due to the versatility of its manufacturing process, but... No matter from which point of view, Alpha Can't find a reason to offer this set to anyone else.

After finally completing the debugging of the software and manufacturing a batch of simple parts, and confirming that the ultra-clean modified standard production line could work under ideal working conditions without being affected by the environmental Originium dust, it was already night.

Alpha found that he seemed to have missed the time for dinner on the ship again. After Alina returned to Tallulah, she was cooking in the kitchen by herself. Recently, she was busy with work. The members of Life Star either started their own business or worked in the kitchen. Eat at the cafeteria in Rhode Island.This moment made Alpha think seriously about whether to hire a cook or make a clone of himself to handle the canteen.

Koloff and Petrova did not return to the current integration movement. They did not say clearly whether they chose to stay with the Star of Life because of others' entrustment or because of their own reasons.But no matter what, if they stay here, they can take care of Yelena who is staying here to recuperate.

On the way to the canteen, Alpha met Xu Yu and Shi Erte, who were walking together. They were holding disposable paper bowls with some kind of snack in their hands. They looked like they had just come back from outside.

Alpha knew that the streets near Longmen's commercial port not only had many restaurants and duty-free shops, but also that at night when the land speeder docked, there would be vendors pushing carts selling various special snacks.The two of them must have come back from there. It seemed that what they were holding in their hands was the fish ball snack they had just bought.

"Alfa, there is a young man selling scale pills at a stall on Port Street tonight with a very aggressive attitude. Inspector Xingxiong introduced them. They taste very good."

"Facing a very fierce young man..." Alpha probably guessed who it was. Speaking of it, she seemed to have not taken scale pills in Longmen.

"A young man from the Ursus tribe, his craftsmanship is surprisingly good..." Xu Yu twisted a scale ball soaked in sauce, "Would you like to try it?"

Alpha opened his mouth and let Xu Yu feed the fish balls into his mouth. These fish balls were indeed made by the chef after repeatedly pounding the fish meat. It was soft and elastic, with just the right texture. It was paired with the sauce. It does taste amazing.

"Yeah! That's right. I just didn't have dinner. I'll have one later."

Walking on the port street, Alpha did find a silver-gray-haired Ursus young man selling scale pills. This young man was wearing a mask and had large scars on his face. He did not know what kind of accident he had suffered. , Those scars do make him look fierce, but from his every move when selling scale pills, it can be seen that he is indeed a very peaceful guy.

"Boss, one portion of garlic and chili sauce scale balls, plus one portion of vermicelli."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The young man got busy expertly, and after a while, the Vermicelli Balls with Garlic Chili Sauce ordered by Alpha was served.

After paying the money, Alpha took a walk on this lively street while eating scale pills. It was not too late now. There were many Rhode Island operators on the street. They were in small groups to experience the profound knowledge of the Yan Kingdom. food culture.Many operators who knew Alpha took the initiative to introduce to Alpha which snacks they thought were delicious when they met.In the distance, Alpha also saw the figure of the doctor. Following him was... Amiya?Did that guy from the doctor take the well-behaved little rabbit around to eat at street stalls so quickly?

At this moment, Alpha's phone rang, "Hey, Kelsey, I'm here, what can I do?"

"Sounds like you've got what you're doing? You seem to be out on the street."

"Well, I finally fixed the bug today and the device can run normally. I'll go out for a late-night snack."

"Thank you," Kelsey cleared her throat, "I just came back from the city and there are some things I need to tell you."

"Has the matter with Tallulah been settled?"

"Well, Wei Yanwu is a guy with some conscience and courage. The two parties finally successfully reached an agreement. Tallulah applied to her uncle on the grounds that she was personally and politically threatened by Duke Cosiche's witchcraft legacy. Political asylum, through which the core city was anchored outside the actual control line of Yanguo Longmen, that is, fifty kilometers away. Wei Yanwu provided a batch of humanitarian aid and a certain amount of loans. I know you have been caring I would like to tell you specifically about this matter, the current situation is good, you don’t need to worry anymore.”

"Then the current core city shouldn't be called Chernobog... They still have heavy production and self-rescue tasks to do."

"Wei Yanwu provided an old mobile land and an agreement to relocate some infected people. There is no need to worry about manpower and material resources at the moment."

"I will go back and look through the database later to see if there is anything suitable for them. Agriculture and manufacturing are an extremely large and complex system, but I am not a professional pioneer..."

"Opening up the wilderness and conquering nature is an instinct engraved in human genes. Alpha, I think you can trust them a little bit."

"But the development of productivity must follow scientific laws and will not be based on blind enthusiasm for struggle..." Alpha sighed, "I have an idea. Let's go to the core city in two days... By the way, Kelsey, I always feel that you called me not just for this matter."

"Ahem..." Kelsey coughed twice, "There is indeed one more thing. The doctor and Amiya are missing. The operator on duty said they got off the ship. Have you seen them?"

"Doctor and Amiya..." After throwing the finished paper bowl into the trash can, Alpha looked back and saw that the doctor was in front of a stall, taking Amiya to eat fried stinky tofu and fried potato tarts, "Ahem Cough, I didn’t pay attention, it should be the bookstore at the corner of the street. By the way, Kelsey, there is a new store on the street that sells delicious hand-made scale pills. Do you want me to bring you one?"

"Thanks, no, I've had dinner."

What neither Alpha nor the doctor knew was that at the top of the towering bridge of Rhode Island in the harbor, Kelsey put down the telescope in her hand, and the spring of the strength grip in her other hand was screaming on the verge of collapse.

90. If this were in Victoria, the Parliament would have to quarrel for 30 years.JPG

In the core area of ​​the core city, Kelsey, Tallulah and Kelucier, who had put on industrial protective clothing, stood beside Alpha, looking at the huge ancient building with her that had been baptized by tens of thousands of years. creation.

Alpha used a new form that no one had seen before, the image of a tall girl with gray twin tails. Alpha said that this body belonged to one of her friends "Karenina" who was very good at engineering technology.This machine body has very obvious mechanical traces - mechanical joints not covered with bionic skin, a pair of mechanical "rabbit ears" on the top of the head, and a strange tail extending from the middle of the spine.

This machine is probably the one with the strongest core output among all the machines Alpha has used so far, because the weapon she uses is a huge hammer with a head that looks bigger than her.

"So you're really going to..."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to smash this sarcophagus." Alpha handed a tablet to Kelsey, "This is the result of my work in the past three days. I have completed the layout of the core city's energy system, and All the architectural structures of the old site of the Sarcophagus Research Center were measured in detail. This is the strongest and most stable area in the entire core city. The people who built it really spent no expense on this closed structure."

Kelsey nodded. After all, she was the one who established the original research center with her troops.

"Since the team at the time did not understand the properties of the sarcophagus, they had to keep all systems as far away from the sarcophagus as possible and place the sarcophagus in a separate area. And use a huge, high-strength multi-layer Steel structure shell to wrap it up. I made preliminary measurements and found that even at the weakest point of the dome above, the stacked materials can provide protection of more than thousands of millimeters of homogeneous steel. Its spherical shell-like design ensures that it will It can withstand tremendous pressure both internally and externally.”

Alpha pointed to the dome above, "This is the safest modern man-made structure in the entire core city, and even in the entire Terra. It has huge utilization value and application potential."

Everyone browsed Alpha's project plan in silence while listening to her explanation.At first, everyone thought her plan was simply crazy, but the more they listened, the more they felt like she had formulated a highly complete and feasible plan for a truly crazy plan.It is worthy of being a high-dimensional creature. Kelsey sighed. Even if the technicians of the ancestors asked them to face this project from scratch, from surveying and mapping to completing the final plan, it would be impossible.

Alpha's plan looks complicated, but is actually very straightforward - dismantle the sarcophagus and replace it with a reactor, and then use the remaining space to decorate it with other things.

The sarcophagus, or a comprehensive medical device used for ultra-long-term dormancy and medical treatment, uses a set of miniature zero-point energy arrays to provide energy. It is impossible for a zero-point energy reactor to maintain a huge supply of fuel, and requires a continuous output of energy to provide energy. For systems that perform extremely long periods of work and with such tricky requirements, one can choose one of the simplest and most reliable solutions.But it will eventually age with time, and no object dares to call itself immortal in the face of time.

Alpha plans to dismantle the sarcophagus here and recover the Ancestors technology inside, especially the zero-point energy reactor.Then check whether it can be repaired and reused. If it can be repaired and used normally, use it to replace Rhode Island with an energy core.If not, let her do the complete recycling.On this land, even Kelsey does not have a zero-point reactor maintenance engineer qualification. The only one who can do this is Alpha.

After this, the original Sarcophagus Research Institute area will undergo a series of transformations to install a fusion reactor with the same energy output characteristics as the Sarcophagus, as well as the required support equipment, to replace the unmaintainable and aging sarcophagus. The entire core city provides energy.The reason why the zero-point energy reactor is not used is because Alpha does not have reliable zero-point energy reactor design information that has been tested in practice.

According to calculations, the space required for a muon reactor to meet the requirements of the plan requires only one-third of a sarcophagus fortress, and the saved space can be used to install a quantum computer matrix and host a high-level computer that can provide technical and management support. AI.

She even figured out what model to use for each thermal cycle component and what technical techniques to use during installation and put them in the plan.

"This is a huge project. How long do you plan to spend on it?" Kelu Xier said this subconsciously, maybe three years?This leaves little time for speculation.If it were placed in Victoria, the Parliament would probably have to quarrel for 30 years!

Alpha shrugged, "Based on the experience of installing a pharmaceutical production line in Rhode Island last time, this time, let's consider it more generous, three months, which is basically the time required to manufacture parts." As soon as these words came out, only The expression on Keluciel's face as if she was facing a god was left behind.

……

For more than 60 days and nights after that, Lucille's biggest thing every day was to run here. Celia also ran here, and even Kelsey and the doctor ran here when they had nothing to do.They watched as countless complex and sophisticated structures sprouted up like mushrooms after a spring rain, gradually filling the space in the form of a highly aesthetic three-dimensional matrix according to Alpha's blueprint.Alpha even found time to paint all the walls inside the dome and the refurbished facility.

"If those guys from Rhine Life get to know about this..." Looking at the reactor that was sitting on the platform where the sarcophagus originally sat, it has started to work normally and outputs energy stably. Those guys knew a little bit about it, and Rhine Life collapsed that day."

After hearing her emotion, Lucille curiously asked why it collapsed. Seria smiled and said, "From the general administration to the leaders of every department, everyone on that day would disappear in an instant, and they would be crowded with people carrying mattresses. Come here and treat this place as your home.”

……

"What are those doorframes for?" Walking in the reactor room where the construction fence had been removed, even the formaldehyde did not exceed the standard, and was put into use, Tallulah discovered that Alpha stood in front of and behind each passage door, deploying a Weird door frames, those door frames look like they have some moving parts.

"They are part of the safety and security system of this facility." Alpha left a mysterious smile, and several square mechanical dogs that looked the same as Benben ran past the crowd, seemingly performing some tasks.

"Take this." Alpha took out a chip and put it in Tallulah's hand.

"what is this?"

"A consciousness chip carries an old friend of mine, an excellent and conscientious scientist."

Come to the isolated isolation room on the top floor, which is the control center of the computer array.Alpha activated some devices and an interface platform rose from a hatch beneath the ground.

"Put him on that interface. I have already explained the specific things to him. He will lead you step by step to do what you can do." Alpha looked into Tallulah's eyes, "There are two I have discussed this matter with you before, but I still want to tell you something in the end. First, of all the systems here, I have the only backdoor. When this system will cause extremely negative impacts, I can directly Stop them or even let them self-destruct. Second, all the artificial intelligence here has a control scope limited to this facility. They cannot directly control the core city. In terms of authority, they do not have the right to make decisions. They only have service functions and Right of suggestion.”

Tallulah had no objections to this. After all, the systems of Sarcophagus and Alpha were essentially the same, completely beyond the upper limit of current knowledge and technology. Compared with Sarcophagus, a device that was older and lacked guidance, it was still Alpha's system even has after-sales maintenance, which is more user-friendly.
