Tower of Babel

Take the construction of Babel Star as an example. Although the production efficiency of robots is very high, a complete industrial system on earth requires nearly 10 million laborers. Hundreds of thousands of robots simply couldn’t handle it, so they directly ordered millions of them. The core of other people’s robots If you don’t trust the hardware, just buy it and install your own"chip". How much trouble can be saved?

Now that I have money, I can buy whatever I need. I bought a rifle production line, a bullet production line, an artillery shell production line, a flying car production line, a spaceship production line and a tank production line. It’s all trivial. In short, buy, buy, buy. , let alone these ordinary things, even nuclear weapons production lines are sold. Nuclear weapons are conventional artillery shells in the interstellar era. There is no air in space and shock waves cannot be formed entirely by energy radiation. The damage range of a nuclear bomb with an equivalent of hundreds of thousands of tons is only a thousand. Just meters.

These production line factories take time to build. It doesn't matter. Building a building is like building blocks. All the prefabricated components are prefabricated. With the anti-gravity field transport ship, no matter how big or heavy the transport ship is, it will not be a problem to transport the components. It is also easy and quick to assemble. Any equipment and raw materials can be moved onto the anti-gravity suspended construction platform, forming an assembly line where the building does not move. Prevent workers from climbing up and down to get out of the ground.

Some small buildings like villas can even be built in a factory like ships, and then moved there one by one with the anti-gravity field transport ship. The on-site construction only requires the foundation and pre-embedding. Large high-rise buildings can also be constructed in sections. With the anti-gravity field construction team, the development progress this month has been greater than in the previous year. This is the difference between those who have money and those who have no money.

In many things, a mature star civilization is obviously much better than this grass-roots team. They not only have many years of experience in developing extraterrestrial planets, but also have a huge industrial chain. There are things they can think of and things they can't imagine. Whether it is arms and weapons, industrial supplies, or daily necessities, all kinds of art are complete. Being able to conduct ultra-profitable trade is definitely a good thing. Now more than a thousand scientists from the Umbrella Company have been awakened, and they have been given villas and"beauties" to start new research work.

This was something that I never dared to think about before. It is not that simple to be able to maintain the normal life of a thousand people and the needs of scientific research. Feeding scientists is not about feeding pigs, and it is not about pulling them down when they have a mouth to eat. Scientists must engage in research work. To be valuable, what does a scientist need for his research? How many reagents and chemicals does a chemist need? How many experimental instruments does a physicist need?········What's more, how many categories and specialties do a thousand scientists cover? How is it possible to raise scientists without the backing of a strong country?

Zhang Cheng cannot easily give up such a lucrative mineral planet, and the Earth Federation cannot easily give up either. There must be a real confrontation. RDA Company is just a private enterprise and not a real military force. This contest cannot be called the Earth Federation. Take it heartily.

Marx once said that if capital has 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; if it has 100% profit, it will dare to trample all the laws of the world; if it has 300% profit, it will dare to risk the gallows. Danger. Zhang Cheng now deeply feels this heat. Fortunately, the Earth Federation's interstellar navigation capabilities are not strong. An expedition to Pandora takes as long as five or six years, which gives Zhang Cheng sufficient preparation time. The second plan of the Avatar World is to purchase a planetary defense perimeter. Put Pandora completely under your control.

We cannot afford a planetary defense system that is too large, but we must at least purchase a small fleet and satellite defense forts to deal with possible attacks on the earth. Of course, the focus right now is mining. In order to increase mining efficiency, only with money can you do everything.

Zhang Cheng specially purchased mining spaceships and super-giant mining excavation machinery, which are large and heavy-duty equipment, in the world of the fifth element. The mining spaceship is a tens of thousands of tons of floating steel behemoth that can fly in the air or land on the ground. It has six huge mechanical legs that can complete preliminary processing. It is a mobile factory. Giant excavating machinery can refer to the world's largest excavator, which weighs 20,000 tons and is more than 80 meters tall with a wingspan of 100 meters.

When such a behemoth arrived on Pandora, the creatures on Pandora finally lost their composure and began to become restless. Large-scale gatherings and attacks on robot mining forces occur from time to time. There is a limit to anyone's patience, and even Eva cannot tolerate large-scale destruction of the ecosystem. Zhang Cheng felt that strong and uneasy mental fluctuations were constantly emitting from the planet.

Although normal natural creatures have mental power, they do not have mental power receiving terminals. Their brains are closed structures so that they can be protected from external mental interference. In some special circumstances, the enemy's aura is so strong that the weak feel suppressed, but It cannot achieve mental control over the weak. Just like humans, we cannot control humble bacteria, but Pandora's creatures are different. They have backdoors in their structure. For Zhang Cheng, who understands all this, it is not difficult to receive mental fluctuations. As for being controlled by mental fluctuations? Not sure who controls whom?

Of course, if a gentleman does not establish a dangerous wall, it is of course impossible for Zhang Cheng to let go of his brain to connect with Eva. Instead, he uses a super large soul quantum computer as a transfer. At most, it will only destroy the physical equipment, and the spiritual communication , is a strange state that does not require translation. You can basically understand the other party’s meaning directly.

"Pandora Crisis, Pandora Crisis, I am Eva, your mother of life, and here is a general mobilization announcement. We must defeat the invaders and fight for the right to survive. No living thing can stay out of it. The planet Pandora is at a critical moment of life and death. This is God's War is also a holy war"

"Wait Eva, things are not what you think. I did not want to destroy Pandora. Of course, destroying Pandora is not difficult for me."

"Who are you? Why can you take the initiative to communicate with me? Is it an extraterritorial invader? It seems that you are a powerful being, more powerful than those humans"

"How do you know I'm not human?"

"It was Michelle's soul that told me."

It seems that I was still too soft-hearted at that time! I didn't capture Michelle's soul at that time and she was devastated. However, Zhang Cheng did not dwell on this issue.

"I just need superconducting minerals and don't want to destroy the world. There is no need for you to go to war and make unnecessary sacrifices. Call these creatures to die"

"Intruder, you are too greedy. What is the difference between plundering on such a large scale and destroying this world? You must stop, stop immediately."

"Ava, you are the mother earth of this planet. It is not difficult to understand what this world is like. Don't you think it is miserable to be trapped on the spherical surface of a planet? The universe is very big and the stars are vast. Why don't you go out and take a look. The outside world is wonderful. We are a more advanced civilization. We can come, but you can't go. Isn't it embarrassing to be trapped here? I know you are cultivating the Na'vi people as your civilization, which is the right way out, but the civilization level of the Na'vi people is very low and there is still a long way to go. Why don't you join us? How about we form a partnership?"
