Chapter 49 The wind will gradually rise
"Be gentle, be slow! Don't go faster than 3 centimeters per second! Damn it, I won't make much money this time. If it gets damaged, I'll ask you to compensate!"
Snail people do not have vocal cords or other vocal organs, they cannot speak, and they are also shy to express their meanings with sounds. But this time, Boss Ka connected the typing screen to a loudspeaker and let the machine program pronounce it. There was no speech.
The rigid voice that adjusted the mood lacked the urging effect, so Mr. Ka cruelly pressed the single-sentence loop play button.
"A little softer, a little slower...a little bit, a little bit..."
The magic sound indoctrination makes people crazy, and listening to it too much may give people nightmares. Fortunately, the work is not complicated and will be over soon. Twelve drone-style gravity beam loading and unloading aircraft are controlled by a unified remote control.
Slowly put the Liuma into the dock, gradually reduce the intensity of the gravitational beam, and let the starship's own weight gradually press toward the bottom of the dock. The ground here is not a flat piece, but nearly ten thousand supports that can be retracted independently.
Pillars. After being subjected to the gravity of the starship, they begin to adapt to its shape and begin to change, just like a mold.
After first stabilizing the Liuma, some support columns began to evacuate, and the entire dock automatically assessed the stability of the starship above. There were sensors on the top of each support column to continuously measure and calculate the longitudinal pressure and lateral friction.
, and finally found a support solution that is both stable and leaves as much construction space as possible. Since there are no standards for the shape design of starships, the final products can be described as strange, so this kind of automatic telescopic support column is the most economical and applicable standard. And
For more advanced solutions, such as using gravitational beams throughout the entire process, the constructors would have to wear special clothing to gain maximum movement space in exchange for flexibility of movement.
The Liuma was in the posture of a lying horse. There were no bells and whistles, so it stabilized quickly. The shipyard quickly calculated more than 20 sets of support plans, which showed that the mass distribution design of the entire spacecraft was very excellent. Then, located in the shipyard
The artificial gravity generator at the bottom is in working condition to ensure that changes in the starship's gravity will not affect the interior of the dock; at the same time, support rods are also stretched out from the four side walls to limit the horizontal deviation of the Liuma.
"I'm binding you now so that you can gallop and fly tomorrow." Alex silently said to the Liuma in his heart, and then turned to the card boss: "Now it seems that the equipment you have here is indeed good.
"
"The key is that you choose well." As Boss Ka was typing, the soft flesh on his face flowed like waves, and it was obvious that his mood was not that stable.
Naturally, its mood was not stable, mainly because it had just figured out Alex and Xiaoxiao's strategy. First of all, they understood that the card boss would rather make less money than let Alex go elsewhere, so they specially
A list was designed, and a warning was given that "if the price exceeds 1/3 of the price is not suitable, the entire order will be voided", and then they had to negotiate one by one, so that the card owner did not dare to open his mouth.
But that's not the whole strategy. Alex obtained a printer used by the Composite Evolutionary Military Starship Repair, along with a red and black two-piece thermos bottle printing material that he removed from the isolation door system, plus a full set of design drawings
He can print parts, equipment and parts by himself. So he selects something from the list. Unless the card owner uses cost price, its quotation will never fall within the "acceptable range", thereby artificially creating a risk of losing the entire order.
Feeling of anxiety.
The material list was drawn up by Alex, but this method was proposed by Xiaoxiao. How to implement it in the end depends on Xiaoxiao. The little fox used the market price list he bought and his bargaining experience to adjust the list in a timely manner, and finally
Let the card boss consider one thing and lose the other in the negotiation, thus saving Alex a lot of money - relatively a lot of money.
Whether it is the primitive stage of barter or the stage of interstellar trade, the overall principle of "you get what you pay for" has never changed. As long as his wallet is not penetrated, Alex is willing to pay for the flow.
Ma Hao spent money. He ordered a complete set of Sadunus operation, scanning and communication systems, a Bluetooth star control integrated bus system, a Snail star shell supplementary armor, and a Delgo star twin.
Nuclear fusion engine and particle disintegration and recoil generation thruster, a set of universal gravitational bubble warp engine produced by Evana Starship Factory.
Fifty thousand computing power coins are gone.
The price of buying a bird-class "tourist" spaceship is about 100,000. Alex's Flowing Horse still needs shields, weapons, environmental circulation, life support and other systems before it can reach full status. These will cost almost the other half. Lack of
Of these four systems, the best in the universe is of course the Composite Evolutionary Man. Alex left the money just because he wanted to try his luck with his own people.
"Boss Card, follow the construction steps we agreed on. Don't move the rear cabin. Just leave a fully open interface from the control bus to the door. Send a trustworthy person to keep an eye on my printer, and then print the starship's parts according to the drawings.
The head shell is installed. This set of printers belongs to the Composite Evolutionary Man. If lost, it will attract the Faceless Man to trace it, so don't be careless."
The Snail Planet Man nodded. It could tell at a glance that the set of engineering printers was from the Composite Evolutionary Battle Starship. It was designed for civilian use but was indeed of military standard. The set of omnidirectional atomic stacking gun heads alone was worth 20,000 computing power coins.
And it's priceless. Not only that, the engineering printer uses the top-notch space compression atomic material tank, which is also a product of the Composite Evolutionary. The Evolutionary starship is made of this stuff. If we talk about the above
With the compound evolved man's tracking and positioning module, it wouldn't be surprised at all. Therefore, the card boss didn't dare to neglect it at all, so he had to personally guard this ancestor with a weapon.
"Alex, other systems also need to be done as soon as possible. The prices of shields, life support and environmental circulation equipment on the market are constantly increasing, and they can go up to a level almost every minute. If you don't do it as soon as possible, this ship will not be able to
Completed.”
"Thank you for reminding me, but I'm not in a hurry." Alex said, "The cosmic environment outside the Evolver starship is too bad now, and I won't be able to fly out for a while. I'm not going to put together a set that can fly now."
A powerful shield to get out. I have the patience to wait, but I won’t wait forever. After all, you have to pay to use your dock.”
"If you are willing to use your starship engineering abilities, money for the shipyard will not be a problem."
Alex thought for a while, but did not directly agree, but said: "We will wait a moment, at least until the head cockpit and control main wiring of the Liuma are completed."
The Snail Stars also agreed with this point of view, because no matter what time, the top priority in the universe is always one's own starship. Alex looked at the construction status of the renovated shipyard from the inside out, gave a few more instructions, and then took
The little fox left the dock area and took the orbital elevator toward the high-rise city area belonging to the composite evolved people.
Composite evolved humans use layers of inspections and powerful protective capabilities to block other civilizations in the lower city areas, that is, docks, business districts, and diplomatic districts. Without the leadership of composite evolved humans, the diplomatic district is where other races operate on starships.
Limit. The orbital elevator passed by the high altitude of this huge cabin. Looking down from the window, you can see the parade crowd. They are protesting and denouncing the "Starship Offshore Residents Management Office" for not destroying the star system. A large number of commercial starships
It was a wrong act to protest to the Composite Evolutionaries about being destroyed.
"Even if they protest, the composite evolved people will not pay attention to them." Alex leaned on the glass window, but his eyes were not looking outside, but at Xiaoxiao sitting next to him. "I feel that the composite evolved people
His nature is very selfish, and the quality of protecting his shortcomings also comes from selfishness. He blew up two suns and destroyed the entire star system. He didn't even hesitate when doing such a thing. How could he care about the people protesting outside?"
Xiaoxiao's shoulders shook but she didn't say anything.
"Ever since you went to the dock area to discuss business alone, I noticed that you have been silent a lot." Alex turned around and sat sideways on the seat, facing the little fox. "Xiaoxiao, you are doing this because you know what's going on outside."
With the destruction of the sun and the destruction of the galaxy, have you started to be afraid of composite evolved humans, and then started to be afraid of me?"
"It's a little bit. After all, there are more than 10 billion people, and you are a composite evolved human after all." Xiaoxiao put her hands on her thighs, holding on to the environmental filter suit tightly, but her legs were still shaking slightly. "I don't
We are afraid of the technology of composite evolved people, because the technology that destroys a planet is not only possessed by composite evolved people themselves, but also many civilizations have such weapons. But composite evolved people really don’t care whether to use these technologies, they don’t care about blowing up the sun or destroying it.
Star system."
"You use 'them' instead of 'you' to call compound evolved people because deep down you feel that I am different from other compound evolved people, right?"
"We raccoon people can feel the differences between people. Composite evolved people always give people a very dangerous feeling, but you don't, so you deceived me at the beginning." Xiaoxiao raised her head, her mouth was crooked, looking a little bit
Angry: "Aren't we talking about the composite evolved man blowing up the sun? Don't change the topic. I finally worked up the courage to talk about it. Alex, I want to know your opinion. If it's up to you to decide, yes
Instead of blowing up the sun and destroying the galaxy, what would you choose?"
"You are a bit shameless. I am not the one who makes decisions. My knowledge, experience and computing power are far inferior to those in the zero-order world. I am not an expert in this field, so I can only trust the choices of experts. So...
...If something like this happens again, I will most likely explode." Alex sighed and said, "So, it's better not to leave this kind of thing in my hands, as it will definitely not end well.
And as a compound evolved person protected by the Zero-Level World, I will not criticize it in areas where I am not professional."
"You are still a compound evolved person, but a normal compound evolved person will not patiently explain this to me, nor will he tell the truth so frankly." Xiaoxiao squeezed her eyes hard to shake off the moisture inside, and then said: "
You are a weird compound evolved person, and I will continue to observe you. If you show signs of danger, I will run away quickly."
"If you run away, I will chase you." Alex patted the little fox's helmet gently, and then said: "Okay, I won't scare you anymore. Xiaoxiao, I never asked you why you left your home to come to the Evolver
Is the starship coming? Do you have any wishes?"
"The environment of the raccoon star's home planet is too bad. Chemical pollution is close to the limit of ecological destruction. We ourselves have not invented space travel. Fortunately, we now have such an opportunity to fly out. All the raccoon star people who leave home have a common mission.
, that is to buy enough equipment to save the entire planet." Xiaoxiao clenched her little fists and said: "Every money I earn, part of it will be sent to the home planet. We also hope to find something in the universe.
There are civilizations that have the ability and willingness to help our planet. Unfortunately, there is no suitable one so far.”
"Compound evolved humans are capable but have no will, right?"
Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "As far as we know, there are five civilizations in the entire universe that definitely have the technology to help us. Two of them have clearly rejected us, two of them require us to pay a huge price, and the last one only needs
Hash coins are enough – we choose to pay.”
"Paying money does not necessarily solve the problem. It is best to research countermeasures on your own." Alex heard the rattling cipher text, raised his head and took a look, and said: "We have reached the final checkpoint. You
I still need to pretend to be a pet for the time being.”
"I agree to pretend, but you can't put a chain on me."
Chapter completed!
