346 Towards the Starry Sky
Because of the trip, it took Hugo and his team nearly 20 minutes to reach the core of the entire base.
This is a huge space reinforced by magic. It looks very busy inside. Many robots and alchemy puppets are cooperating with workers wearing simple exoskeletons to create one huge sealed can-like metal structure after another.
Soon, Hugo saw a scene where the secret law was clearly violated here: ordinary people wearing exoskeletons were welding the metal structures, and beside them, several wizards waved their wands and mounted pieces of metal plates inlaid with magic runes on the metal structure.
"Will there really be no problem doing this?" Hermione asked nervously to Reputation. "Can we really guarantee sufficient confidentiality for large-scale operations like this?"
"Don't worry, this place has been in operation for several years, but it has been in a secret premise." Reputation said proudly. "We have enough ways to keep the secret here."
According to reputation, every inch of their land here has a large amount of shielding magic, which can completely prevent the magic reaction below from being discovered by others.
In addition, everyone here was inspired by the Soviet Union and St. George, so it was impossible to actively reveal the secrets of this place.
"I can say with certainty that our inspirational ability is even comparable to Grindelwald in his heyday, and no one would betray this place in this case." Reputation introduced.
"Of course, in addition to spiritual inspiration, we also have a magic contract plus Derzhinsky's subordinates as our last line of defense to ensure that the local situation is not exposed."
"This sounds really amazing." At this time, everyone walked to the bottom of this huge space, and then Hermione asked, looking at the sealed container about three or four stories high.
"But what is the core of this plan? And what exactly are these things being made? They actually need to be made so huge."
"I think this seems to be some kind of space that needs to be confined." Hugo looked at the huge diameters of the containers and looked at reputation. "Are you planning to build a base under the sea?"
"Yes, and this is just our first step." Xingwang nodded. At this time, the three of them walked through the busy construction site and came to an office, and the drawings were being drawn by Xi Zhang in the office.
After saying hello to Xizhang, Xingwang walked to a desk and took out two documents from the drawer and handed them over to Hugo and Hermione, then said.
"This is our plan. Now we have completed most of the tasks in the plan, so at the end of this semester, we will likely be able to complete the first step of the plan."
"In fact, this base is just the last core department. What supports the operation of the base is our global production network. Only a small part of the things you see are produced locally, and most of them are transported from the outside world-"
With the explanation of reputation, Hugo looked through the plan. As a result, he was shocked by the content on the plan.
Because according to the plan, the ultimate goal of this plan is interstellar colonization, and the first step that can be completed at the end of this year is to build a permanent space station in the geosynchronous orbit that can survive for a long time in a total of 1,000 people.
At this time, Hugo suddenly remembered the containers he had just seen. Obviously, in addition to building a subsea launch center, the most core of those containers is to manufacture various spare parts for this space station.
For ordinary people, the difficulty of launching such a huge structure into the sky has exceeded the existing technical level, but for wizards, magic can reduce the difficulty by 90%.
Because of magic, the ship girls can ensure that they completely hide the eyes of everyone during the launch and operation of the entire space station, and advance the target step by step in secret.
"Where did you get these skills?" After quickly reviewing the plan, Hugo took a few deep breaths first and then asked.
Because in the plan table, in addition to building a large permanent space station, there are two steps to plan, and the difficulty of those two steps is far greater than building a space station.
The second step is to build an industrial center on the moon, and transfer most of the planned manufacturing industry to the moon, so as to make full use of the rich resources on the moon for construction.
The third step is to build a permanent colony on Mars, and use the colony as a bridgehead for sailing into the depths of the universe, opening up the era of cosmic sailing.
In order to achieve these goals, the ship girls developed a series of technologies, such as energy shields, room temperature superconductors, controlled nuclear fusion and short-distance jumps.
This is why Hugo was surprised. Because these things now only exist in theory and science fiction novels, and they are not like things that exist in reality at all.
"These things were mainly studied by Yui Zhang and Massachusetts." Reputation explains, "they have many technologies that are far beyond reality."
"Although the technology they master may not be able to be used in this place because of the different worlds. However, because of the existence of magic, they only took a very short time to reach or even exceed the heights that those technologies could reach through magic."
"It is also because of the successful integration of magic and technology that we can ensure that we can establish three outposts located in the deep sea, geosynchronous orbit and the moon at the end of this semester."
"And by next year, we will build a fast space channel between the Earth and the Moon and initially complete the lunar industrial zone. Then build no less than three Mars colonial ships."
"What a grand plan. I suddenly realized that my idea of becoming the Minister of Magic is too conservative and insignificant." After hearing the plan, Hermione showed a shocked expression on her face.
"Compared with the vast number of stars, things on Earth are really not worth mentioning. But why hasn't there never been a wizard willing to look up at the starry sky before?"
"This is because the personal strength of wizards is too strong compared to ordinary people." Hugo said after thinking for a while. "This makes them develop much better in the early stages of history than ordinary people, but the development speed will become slower and slower as time goes by."
"Why does it develop more slowly if the individual is too strong?" Hermione said after watching a wizard commanding a huge part to float through the air through the window glass, "Is this supposed to develop faster?"
"If you have too strong personal strength, two problems will arise." Hugo looked at his sister and stretched out his finger and explained. "One is the reproduction speed, so naturally the stronger the biological fertility rate, the lower the fertility rate."
"For this reason, if the accident of the Weasley family is ruled out, you will find that the number of children born in the wizard family is obviously smaller than that of ordinary people."
"The second is that wizards prefer to fight alone, especially lack sufficient cooperation in many cutting-edge directions. This is mainly because they can use magic to use several people, so they will naturally ignore cooperation."
