Chapter 56 Orbital Dock Project
...
A few days later.
While Gray and his team placed water purifiers in various areas of the Lower Hive and began recruiting soldiers, drones were also conducting a carpet search in the hope of finding Groot's sister.
As everything was moving steadily forward, Qin Mo began to look for a suitable construction site for the orbital dock.
Andreda and Klein, who were very familiar with the project, were transferred back to the bottom nest to help Qin Mo complete this very important task.
"The rebels are nowhere to be found now. We haven't heard of any sightings of them in a while."
"Of course not. They must have been cleaned with pesticides."
"Alas, what a pity... one problem after another arises."
The three of them were sitting on the transport plane and chatting.
The drone transport aircraft has been programmed to stop after flying one thousand kilometers and release terrain detection waves.
The scanning results of the terrain detection wave will be transmitted to the screen inside the transport aircraft.
You don't even need to look at the scanning results, the main control will automatically select the appropriate terrain and put it into the database.
"By the way, is this plan to build an orbital dock reliable?" Klein looked at Qin Mo with a worried look on his face. "A dock is a very large thing. Can it be transported to orbit?"
"Don't worry, if I say I can do it, I can do it." Qin Mo nodded.
"Okay. Do you have a blueprint?" Klein asked again.
"Not yet." Qin Mo shook his head and then told his idea.
The so-called orbital dock is indeed complicated, but it is very simple with the material printing technology.
A shell plus a large number of super-large material printing devices. When manufacturing a warship, you just need to input the materials and then print out the warship.
Of course, the battleship drawings still need to be designed separately, but this is not a difficult task for Qin Mo.
"Outrageous." Klein sighed softly, "This technology is really the same as witchcraft."
Qin Mo didn't hear this sigh because he was concentrating on thinking.
Qin Mo already understood why he climbed the technology tree so quickly.
The star gods themselves are the gods of the material universe and the embodiment of the laws of physics.
Having merged with the Star God, I want to study technology, just like a person knows how to fill his stomach when he is hungry.
However, this ability also has its flaws, that is, one's energy is ultimately limited, which will lead to very unbalanced technological development.
For example, dimensional technology is something that the entire human empire and even most forces in the galaxy do not have, but when it comes to technology such as building houses, I am afraid that they cannot even compare to a hair of the construction families in the Tyrone Hive, unless they take the time to study it.
"Ding! The best location for building an orbital dock has been detected!"
The prompt sound of the main control smart phone brought Qin Mo back to reality.
The transport plane has stopped and landed.
Klein and Andrada had already walked out of the transport plane and checked the location.
This place is located below the bottom nest and gives people the feeling that it is very flat and vast. If a species lives here, it will think that this is a world.
The bottom nest should have been an ancient giant war machine manufacturing plant, and the area in front of us looked like a giant basin dug out from the factory floor, except that this basin was a very smooth and flat square rather than a naturally formed basin.
It's hard not to wonder about this place and the entire Underhive and what it was used to build before it developed into a hive city.
"These obstacles are not a problem. We can just remove them when we build the dock. But the terrain we need is not the flatter the better." Klein walked to Qin Mo's side and pointed at the open space and continued, "The gravity outside the atmosphere is different from the gravity on the ground. We need to consider the bearing capacity of the materials when we build the dock in the bottom nest."
"It doesn't matter. I know how to use the metal used to construct the bottom nest floor to make a stronger alloy." Qin Mo said.
While speaking, Qin Mo squatted down and stretched out his hand toward the ground, then he picked up a piece of metal from the hard ground just like scooping up sand.
This was not the first time that Andrada and Klein had seen Qin Mo distort the laws of physics, and they were shocked every time they saw it.
Even though Qin Mo only picked up a piece of metal, they knew that there must be many changes in the laws of physics behind it, which gave the hard metal ground sand-like properties from various angles.
Qin Mo suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked at Klein and said, "I heard that your family emblem was confiscated? Can I use these metals to make one for you?"
Klein lowered his head and remained silent.
In the eyes of Qin Mo and Anrida, Klein was touched in a sore spot and didn't want to talk.
But in fact, Klein didn't think that the confiscation of the emblem was a big deal at all. He just remembered a recent rumor.
I heard that there is a group of people called servants who worship Qin Mo as a god.
Now that I think about it, the appearance of that group of servants was completely reasonable.
"Are you hysterical?" Qin Mo patted Klein's back hard.
"Ah... No, I just thought about some things about my family." Klein shook his head and began to observe the terrain carefully.
Having looked at the ground, he looked up.
Since this area appears to have been dug out to build a giant factory, it has no roof, which means that its bottom is farther from the highest point than the bottom of most areas of the bottom nest.
"Very good, very good." Klein nodded repeatedly.
"The main reason I brought you here is that you have a lot of experience and have seen a real orbital dock. Do you think it is feasible to build an orbital dock in the bottom nest?" Qin Mo asked.
Klein recalled it carefully and nodded. "It is completely feasible. No, if the gravity and material strength issues are not a problem, then it is feasible."
"I agree with Captain Klein's opinion." Andrada echoed.
Seeing that both of them thought it was feasible, Qin Mo no longer had any doubts, but now there was another thing besides building a track dock: "I have two plans, one is to upgrade our existing armaments, and the other is to build a dock. Which one do you think is better to do first?"
"What do you think?" Andrada asked back.
"Build a dock." Qin Mo replied, "Although I have almost made up my mind, I still have to listen to other people's opinions. Listening to both sides will make you wiser."
After hearing this, Anrida nodded in agreement, and Klein said, "My personal opinion is to build a dock. Although I haven't received any intelligence or information, I just feel that the situation is becoming more and more tense."
Qin Mo fully agreed with Klein's feelings.
After all, Klein was born into a noble family and possessed a very keen "sense of smell". He was not suitable to be a general but was definitely a very suitable staff officer.
"If a fight breaks out, the enemies inside the hive city are easy to deal with, but if the Astra Militarum and the Astartes come, then we will...so in the event of an emergency, we must have a ship for...transfer." Klein continued.
"The orbital dock is not for escape. It is for building warships." Qin Mo stared at Klein and said in a serious tone, "No matter what kind of enemy we face, we must protect everything we have worked so hard to build, no matter what the cost."
After hearing this, An Ruida nodded very firmly. He had followed Qin Mo from the beginning to where he is today. He witnessed Qin Mo's transformation from a prisoner to a leader admired by everyone.
Everything we have can never be taken away by anyone.
"Go back, I will study the alloy and make the dock hull immediately. We will have our own warship soon." Qin Mo turned around and walked towards the transport plane.
Thank you all for your tips and votes. I can't express my gratitude enough. I would like to express my respect first!
