The purpose of Lu Zhiyu's return this time was that he didn't want to delay any longer. Lu Zhiyu's desire to leave the earth and explore the universe had become stronger and stronger. No matter what, he had to start exploring the solar system.
Byrne Island, on the Pacific Ocean, had completely transformed into a huge prototype of a floating space city. When Lu Zhiyu returned, he found that there had been some changes to the plan. The intelligent sub-brain that Lu Zhiyu had left behind, David, immediately launched a backup plan after discovering that the plan had been interrupted.
The entire Byrne Island had been transformed into a floating space city hidden under the island. At this time, the entire Byrne Island had been hollowed out. If one peeled off the surface layer, they would find that it was a huge starship.
"What's going on?"
Lu Zhiyu asked Gu Chaoran, the person in charge of the base. More than two hundred years had passed in Maria's World, and Lu Zhiyu had been away from the base for about two hundred days. During this time, some changes had taken place within the base, but not much. However, there were many new faces. There were thousands of people in the base, and the interior was completely controlled by the intelligent sub-brain, David.
Gu Chaoran said to Lu Zhiyu, "Our space station plan has been obstructed, and the rocket launch plan has been ostracized by various parties. Recently, more and more people have been paying attention to us, and some unknown people have been appearing around the base."
Lu Zhiyu nodded and asked, "What about the Vatican Clan?"
Gu Chaoran said, "The Vatican Clan has been supplying us with resources, but they are also constantly stealing our technology. They are even spying on our core technology. It seems that they have some ideas about us."
"Don't worry about them. How is the construction of the starship going? When can it be launched? "
Lu Zhiyu glanced at the center of the base and found that the floating space city was very different from the floating space city in Maria's World. It felt more scientific and modern, like a huge wheel.
The interior space was extremely large, and it was divided into various areas, with many floors above and below. The middle pipes were connected by elevators, and a large number of engineering and maintenance robots, which looked like squids, were shuttling back and forth. In addition, there were also a large number of living robots, construction robots, and intelligent vehicles. The rail car kept going up and down, and a large number of researchers in white coats kept passing by. They nodded at Gu Chaoran, but they didn't recognize him.
There were a large number of living areas, restaurants, research institutes, control facilities, and even sports stadiums and urban farms. Each urban farm was a combination of the city and the farm. It looked like a building, but at the same time, it felt like a huge botanical garden. The internal ecology was completely self-sufficient, with water, food, air, and space for activities. It could accommodate at least ten thousand people.
Everyone inside was wearing an intelligent bracelet, and the pointer of the chip was directly connected to the nerves inside the skin. Everything inside was controlled by intelligent information. The interior of the starship was like a completely digitized world, and everything was arranged by the intelligent sub-brain, David.
Lu Zhiyu's intelligent sub-brain, David, could monitor everyone's psychological and physical health at any time, and could respond to everyone's requests at any time. Wherever the internal staff went, they would hear relevant instructions and prompts, such as drinking water, food, travel, and rest. Everything could be done by robots, and the bracelets also represented their authority.
Everywhere they went, they could hear prompts, doors opening and closing, elevators arriving on time, and robots arriving quickly. The cafeteria could provide all kinds of food and drinks according to voice commands, and even the lighting, temperature, and special internal clothing could be changed at any time.
As for the food, although it looked and tasted no different from ordinary food, it was actually synthesized by machines.
Arriving at the starship, Lu Zhiyu felt as if he had suddenly arrived in the future. Everything here was like a miracle, fully demonstrating the terrifying efficiency of the intelligent sub-brain, David, and the alchemy mechanical life.
"We originally planned to disassemble it, send it into space, and then reassemble it in space, but we can't do that now. David told us that you have a way to send us and the entire starship directly into space, so we moved on to the next step of the plan."
Lu Zhiyu went directly to the main control room of the starship, and David's projection immediately appeared beside him.
"Master, welcome back!"
Lu Zhiyu nodded. "Show me the information of the entire starship!"
Immediately, a projection of the starship appeared in front of Lu Zhiyu's eyes, and a large amount of information was transmitted into his mind. Gu Chaoran, who was standing beside him, looked at Lu Zhiyu's silent expression, and naturally felt pressured and at a loss for what to do.
"The main body of the starship is made of activated metal cells. Currently, it can cope with all kinds of environments in space, and it can also adjust and evolve as the environment changes. The metal cells can continuously strengthen, and they can adapt to the environment as it evolves.
The nuclear fusion bio-energy machine that you gave us has been installed on the starship, and it will provide the entire starship with unimaginable energy. However, our current ability to transform and use energy is still at an extremely shallow level, so we can't study it thoroughly, nor can we fully utilize the power of nuclear fusion. According to the silicon-based mechanical life called Cain that we dismantled last time, we have also applied some of its technology to the starship.
The starship uses a magnetoplasma propeller, but even with this technology, it will still take us nearly a hundred years to leave the solar system.
The starship generates its own gravity through the external rotation, and according to our calculations, the gravity is set to be exactly the same as that of the earth.
However, there is still a problem. The powerful ability of the metal cells has already astonished us, but compared to them, our defense is still very weak. Once we hit space garbage or micro-meteorites, it will be very difficult for us to defend ourselves. "
Lu Zhiyu looked at Gu Chaoran's lack of confidence, then turned his head to look at him and asked, "What else?"
Gu Chaoran became even more nervous, and cold sweat kept dripping from his temples. "Also, although the starship that we designed can theoretically travel in the universe, we still need to verify what kind of situation it will encounter when it actually enters the universe.
After all, this is the first such a huge starship in the history of the earth, and it has already exceeded everyone's imagination. We have no idea what kind of situation it will encounter when it ascends into space.
In other words, boss, we have no idea how you will send such a huge 'space city' from the earth into space! "
Lu Zhiyu glanced at Gu Chaoran and said, "You are afraid, afraid that I will take you away from the earth and into the dark unknown universe."
"Don't worry! I will take some people with me, but only voluntarily. If you don't want to go with me, you can stay in the end. "
Lu Zhiyu then added, "The first step is not to leave the solar system immediately. We will explore the interior of the solar system, so all of you will still have a chance to regret your decision."
Gu Chaoran shook his head and said, "No, not all of us are afraid. We are also looking forward to it. This is what all of us are feeling. We are afraid, but we are also looking forward to it!"
Gu Chaoran gradually calmed down. Lu Zhiyu nodded and asked, "When can we leave?"
"After the final tests and adjustments, we can leave. The energy reserves are already very sufficient, but there are still some material reserves that have not arrived yet. One month, as long as it is the last month, we will be fully prepared."
At this time, Gu Chaoran suddenly thought of something. "By the way, boss, there has been progress on Cain and the silicon-based life that you have been paying attention to."
Lu Zhiyu then asked, "Did Dr. Matt, who went to Antarctica to investigate, come back?"
Gu Chaoran said, "No, he died."
This answer did not disappoint Lu Zhiyu. Instead, he became interested and asked, "How did he die?"
"I don't know. I only know that since then, there has been chaos in the interior of Antarctica. All countries have sent scientific research teams and armies into Antarctica, even breaking the Antarctic Treaty."
"What did they find?"
Gu Chaoran asked. "I heard that a spaceship was found at the bottom of Antarctica."
