Chapter 1 Modern Ghost Fleet
August 16, 2017, 7:21 pm.
Tiandu, the headquarters of the Daodiscipline Bureau, 780 meters underground, the third special mechanical design laboratory.
Because of the terrifying war that swept the world forty years ago, a large number of nuclear defense bunkers, commands and shelters were built underground in the capitals and major cities of major forces around the world to fight against the devastating nuclear war that may come at any time.
At present, the super-large underground networks crisscrossing the ground of Tiandu, such as the Dao-1 center at the end of Route 26, and the headquarters of the Security Bureau underground in the reservoir, are built to avoid global nuclear strikes and maintain the design concept of vitality.
The Dao Discipline Bureau is naturally no exception.
The Third Special Mechanical Design Laboratory, originally the Central Design Office of Zhengguo Special Artillery, established in 1934, began to study the submarine-launched missile launch module of nuclear submarines in 1940, and then became the main research center for special mechanical design. In 1972, it merged with three laboratories under the General Administration of Aerospace and began to conduct research on spacecraft-related projects.
The deep-sea exploration ship "Jiaolong" that explores the ruins of the Dragon King, and the related designs of the "No. 1 Test Ship" that the Tallinns arrived a few days ago, all came from the laboratory.
And now, Su Zhou, who was invited to come here, saw a "small" spacecraft.
It is 35 meters high, 50 meters wide, and 153 meters long. It is cigar-shaped as a whole. There are no obvious edges and corners on the entire ship, only a round arc, and the inside of the silver-white alloy shell is flashing with a light blue aura that is very obvious to Su Zhou.
This spacecraft with a total length of no more than 200 meters is about the same size as a sea destroyer, far smaller than the Tallinn exploration ship like a hill. Even the frigate that the craftsmen and masters rubbed by hand a few days ago was larger than it.
It is currently located in the dock deep underground, as if it can be moved at any time.
"How is it, Professor Su, this 'scientific research ship' looks pretty good, right?"
On the side of Su Zhou, a gray-haired old man who was only in his early fifties stood with his hands behind his back and nodded to the spacecraft with satisfaction: "In recent days, with the help of many Tallinn engineers and masters of Zhengguo craftsmen, we have completed the prototype of this scientific research ship."
"Its function is roughly similar to the Tallinn exploration ships, and is used for starry sky exploration. However, due to our unique technology, we do not need such a huge hull for the time being, so we can't build it with a small idea and designed such an exquisite spacecraft."
"It's very handsome, Li Sheng, it's simply a work of art."
Su Zhou's reply was very simple. He looked up and down at the spaceship with a sense of science fiction design, and was full of surprise: "I didn't expect that this spaceship would look like it was not terrible at all! Unexpectedly!"
Li Sheng didn't know what Su Zhou was thinking, but if he knew, he would shake his head and the relevant designs of the Daoji Bureau had also spent a lot of effort, which fits many historical allusions and related legends. The public always said that they were vulgar, but they just couldn't appreciate the ancient beauty. This has nothing to do with the earth, but this national aesthetic is not good.
If it weren't for the exploration action, he would have designed a set of golden and red dragon armor patterns for this scientific research ship.
By the way, Li Sheng is 98 years old this year, and is the oldest and oldest among the Zhengguo Shengseong. He is a pure technician who has been responsible for handling various extraordinary and related equipment designs for decades. In other words, it is because he is too focused on technology and has been separated from the outside world for decades, and his aesthetic...
cough.
In short, Su Zhou, who was notified to go to the headquarters of the Dao Discipline Bureau, came here to see in advance the car he was at when he was heading to the Qingqiu Secret Realm.
Qingqiu Secret Realm, as mentioned before, is a starry sky secret realm with cosmic stars.
The entrance to the secret realm is located in the Qingqiu Planetary System, on the fifth planet named "Qingqiu Five", and their target is a life planet similar to the earth named "Qingqiu Three".
The New World Exploration Department, which belongs to Su Zhou, has explored the surrounding area of the Secret Realm Entrance located on the Wushang Qingqiu. The elite team of Shao Qiming and others has also carried out corresponding tasks. Their report shows that there are a large number of relics from the ancient Immortal and God era around the Secret Realm Entrance. According to analysis, it should be an ancient trade market.
Thousands of years ago, this trading market was shrouded in a huge formation to maintain normal temperature. Now, the formation disappeared due to the disappearance of spiritual energy, and the entire remains were destroyed by ice or asteroid impact.
In this market, the exploration team found a large number of precious ancient resources, as well as the resource library of the "Central Divine Court" in several eras of immortals and gods. Although most of the grass and wood materials and elixirs in them have been decayed and cannot be taken, the numerous rare metals and extraordinary materials in the rocks are considered to be a considerable income.
"This time, Professor Su, your task is to observe what changes have happened in the three upper parts of Qingqiu, which has led to the human beings living on it being judged by Chixiao Sword that they are suffering from a disaster. We must judge whether to help the other party based on the specific situation."
At this time, the person who spoke was Yu Sheng who was connected through the Internet. The middle-aged man whose left eye had been transformed should be still at the Yuebei base at this time, and the communication was extremely delayed: "Because of the loss of ancient books, we do not know the Qingqiu Secret Realm, and random actions will lead to bad results."
"Li Sheng, who will carry out this mission with me?"
He nodded to Yu Sheng and expressed his clarity. Next, Su Zhou turned his head to look at the gray-haired old man, and he said: "There are also staff members on the spacecraft who have received rocket control training and can be considered easy to drive the spacecraft, but there are probably not many astronauts in the country. Can they get enough spacecraft?"
This is not Su Zhou's innocent suspicion, but it is true. In order to control a huge spacecraft, in addition to high-performance AI assistance, a large number of personnel and automatic machinery are required to operate and maintain.
The Earth's background in this area can be said to be extremely weak. At least Su Zhou knew very well that people like Shao Qiming and others who had not undergone any spaceship training were unlikely to participate in this mission.
"There are two main explorers, and coincidentally you know them."
Li Sheng stretched out his hand and swept forward, and the files of the two holographic projections appeared in front of Su Zhou: "Only Wu Liu Shi, Liu Wuxin, the extraordinary peak practitioner, and the doctor of biology. The disciple of the Agricultural Saint, Lin Chengde, the extraordinary peak practitioner, and the doctor of botany."
"In addition, there is a professional research team from the third department of the Daodiscipline Bureau that will act with you."
"The third science, extraordinary environment, secret realm exploration science?"
Su Zhou recalled a little, and remembered the responsibilities of the Third Department of the Daodiscipline Bureau, and immediately realized: "That's normal. After all, a whole life planet located in the secret realm really needs the entire team to explore."
"Their professional level is worth believing, that is, their force is really insufficient and you need your protection."
The gray-haired old man sighed and shook his head slightly: "Of course, you can bring a few people with you, Professor Su. It all depends on your own choice, but don't have too much, after all, there is not much reserved space for scientific research ships."
"I'll pick one, and in fact, I already have a candidate."
Su Zhou replied cheerfully, but he still had doubts: "But, this is just a researcher with the ship, where are the crew members? Will they all control the spacecraft?"
"Why, Sheng Yan didn't tell you?"
In response, before Li Sheng was sorting out his thoughts, Yu Sheng on the other end of the light curtain answered first. He laughed, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Zhou's pocket: "He gave you the 'Soul Abyss Server', why haven't you said this?"
Su Zhou's pocket was indeed bulging, and it was naturally the "Soul Abyss Server" given to Yan Sheng before to collect the souls of the human race in the Qingqiu Secret Realm. However, when Yu Sheng was so little, Su Zhou blinked and immediately understood the key.
The driver, experienced, Soul Abyss, the dead Su Sheng, the ghost, and the large number of crew members who quickly grew...
"Do you say?"
For a moment, Su Zhou's expression became subtle. I don't know if it was curiosity, excitement or hesitation: "Yan Sheng copied the soul of an astronaut... and then used it as a template to create a large number of intelligent driving ai?!"
"Oh, that's it. Over the years, Yan Sheng himself dared to copy his soul. The replica of the freak will not argue with the ontology who is the real one... who knows?"
Yu Sheng didn't seem to have expected Su Zhou's thinking to be so jumpy, and he dared to think of such an extremely challenging ethics. He waved his hand, and the red light from the left eye of the machine flashed: "It's from Tallin."
"Some of the Tallins who were rescued by Raphael's seal were severely damaged and died after being unsealed. In addition to the Tallins souls collected before, these aliens agreed to Yan Sheng's conditions to voluntarily convert into electronic souls, sign a contract, and work for us."
Speaking like this, Yu Sheng's tone was relaxed, and even with a warm warmth: "Anyway, their spaceship is operating, and they put people in the electronic world, and their body is dormant. If that's the case, why can't we directly use the 'ghost' to drive the spaceship?"
"No food, no water, no oxygen, no oxygen, no electron ghosts can use spiritual power to influence the material world, and can also interact electronically with the spacecraft system, controlling the spacecraft like AI... This is a crew member who is far more adaptable to the "interstellar navigation" than corpses. Even Yan Sheng himself did not expect that the first time the electronic underworld showed its function was in interstellar navigation."
"Awesome." Su Zhou also clapped his hands sincerely. He turned his head and looked at the not-so-large scientific research ship. He could see more things immediately: "No wonder our scientific research ship can be so small because most of its crew members have no entity! In this way, we can reduce the survival system, use the least resources to create the most spacecraft, and ensure the same, even better spacecraft living environment!"
The ghost ship is a strange ship condensed by the souls of the dead who are addicted to the sea in ancient legends. It can sail endlessly and wander around the sea forever.
Now, because of the electronic underworld, this strangeness that exists in the legend has turned into reality... and in the future, it will even become a certain normal, and even become the largest source of the fleet on one side of the earth, becoming a modern ghost fleet!
“That’s true.”
Yu Sheng laughed. The signal of the Moonback Base where he was located was very bad at this time, and it was even a little intermittent. This is because there are too many alien spacecraft excavated recently. Their remaining psychic radiation will interfere with the communication: "These Tallins have signed a pact in the underworld, so there is no need to worry that they don't work hard... Anyway, we have not squeezed their labor force, this is a win-win treaty."
"I'm very likely to stay on the moon recently and I can't see you off. Now I wish you a good journey, Professor Su."
"Thank you for your good words."
Su Zhou replied with a smile, and then Yu Sheng closed the communication.
Immediately afterwards, the young man frowned slightly and looked at the Li Sheng who was silent on the side. He touched his chin, and then slowly said: "...Plague Saint, Sheng Saint, Yu Sheng and Yan Sheng, they are the reformists in the Thirty-Six Saints who are keen on using novel technologies to transform society, and actively participate in various industries to create changes."
