Chapter 1441 Big projects are big projects
Gao Wen was paying attention to the situation of the "rail elevator" and its surrounding waters in the southwest of the Loren continent. Through countless sensors and optical devices outside the elevator, he could clearly see the every move of the huge "joint engineering team", and could also control the operation of the elevator itself at any time and monitor the entire "world traffic system".
Originally, he could not have such a comprehensive perception and control. All of this was the result of the last time Cassandra and Ashalina's "restart".
The corresponding cabins on Cangqiong Station have been prepared for subsequent maintenance work, and all areas that can be entered have been lifted. The orbital elevator is listed as a temporary high priority unit. On the "Iron Island" on the surface of the planet, the Iron Man soldiers, Siren and Dragon Clan are busy. The ground supply station is gradually taking shape, and a small advance team has entered the assembly hall of the orbital elevator.
Leading this team is a familiar face... a familiar figure... a familiar ball.
The restoration of Cangqiong Station will be a crucial project. Although Gao Wen believes that Siren, Dragon and Iron will do their best to complete this task, these are three completely different races after all, and they use very different technologies. These "differences" may play an unexpected role in their face of the complex and unknown situation of Cangqiong Station, but they also make the coordination and command of the entire project a huge problem.
There must be a trustworthy "acquaintance" to coordinate this engineering team composed of three different races. We must have a solid understanding, outstanding engineering skills, experience and ability to lead such complex teams in technical research, and most importantly, we must be able to pass the "qualification certification" of rail elevators, and the ability to enter space.
St. Nicholas Egg is the most suitable "ball" choice that Gao Wen can think of. As early as when he decided to start the restoration project, he had decided that this "alien friend" who was extremely good at dealing with machines and metals would serve as the commander-in-chief.
Of course, Mr. Dan himself also has a very important job. As the most senior "big craftsman" in the Cecil Empire, he is still the chief engineer of many high-end projects in the empire. His convenient metal control and mechanical manufacturing capabilities were always very useful, but Cecil's engineering technology has developed so far, no longer fully relies on his abilities as it was at the beginning.
With Gao Wen's conscious guidance and the efforts of technicians, the latest industrial machine tools have been able to complete most of the production processes that were once achieved by President Dan himself. Although the efficiency may not be as high as his, in the face of the huge and expanding production scale, the efficiency of this loss can be completely compensated. Now, President Dan's main focus has shifted from personal production on the front line to design, coordination and special manufacturing fields, and these tasks can basically be temporarily handed over to his deputy to complete.
Now, the great empire craftsman has completed the handover of work and instead joined the engineering team of the restoration of the Sky Station as an "engineering commander".
On the base floor of the track elevator, in the brightly lit assembly hall, the first "advance team" composed of three-party technicians, a total of 90 people, has been prepared.
They will bring the most basic engineering equipment into Cangqiong Station. When the local left-behind personnel set up strongholds on the surface, the advance team will complete the basic exploration task of the "initial section" of Cangqiong Station and prepare for subsequent maintenance work. At the same time, they will also set up a large number of experimental devices in the "assembly hall" corresponding to Cangqiong Station to carry out various experimental projects.
The low and pleasant sound of equipment echoed softly in this wide and bright hall, and the ancient setter legacy remained silent in front of this group of uninvited guests. Nicholas Egg always floated in the air dozens of centimeters from the ground, observing everything around him with excitement and pleasure. He was so happy that some slight buzzing sound had been making in his body since the beginning.
However, the "new colleague" who worked with him for the first time still did not know how to judge the mood of the great craftsman. When Berlanta heard the abnormal noise in the egg's body, he immediately showed a little worried look: "Mr. Nicholas, are you okay? Your body has been buzzing. Is it because of the sequelae of vertigo before..."
"I'm fine," Mr. Dan turned around, his tone was quite light and natural, "I just feel good, can't you still see my face?"
Berlanta looked at the round and bright metal shell and the slightly funny smile in front of her, thinking that she really couldn't tell...
This "big craftsman" from the Cecil Empire was the strangest creature she had ever seen in her life, but considering that she had to work together for a long time, it was particularly necessary to improve her understanding. So after a moment she asked curiously: "Please forgive my offense, but... are you a male or female?"
"My man," Mr. Dan said in a natural tone again, "Can't you still see your body shape?"
Berlanda: "…"
It seems that there is still a long way to go to reach a mutual understanding between the masturbator from Tallond and the iron ball star from Cecil...
At this moment, a slight clicking sound of mechanical device operation suddenly came from the direction of the lift not far away. Then the "system broadcast" that rang out directly in the hearts of everyone in the hall interrupted everyone's communication: "...The system self-inspection has been completed, the rail transit system has been adjusted to the normal operation mode, and the unobstructed and unobstructed ride permissions of all relay sites and data links have been partially opened to the visitor group."
The next second, the surface of the silver-white alloy cylinder in the center of the hall, which seemed to be integrated, instantly appeared neat blue grid lines, and the open space inside the cylinder was presented to everyone's eyes.
"Okay, it seems that our 'visitor identity' has been registered successfully," Nicholas Egg's body again heard a pleasant buzz, and then he floated forward first, "Everyone, come with me to our next job!"
Berlanta subconsciously exchanged sights with Asharena, and at the same time, Alice-6 had already stepped forward with a team of iron soldiers expressionlessly, faithfully carrying out the command of the engineering commander. Then there were the "deepwater technicians" and "deepwater witches" who looked like they were not psychologically stressed and seemed to be traveling to space...
When everyone entered the extremely spacious "rail transit cabin", this ancient transportation facility finally started smoothly and began to rise with an astonishing acceleration...
As the rail transit cabin quickly sailed towards the sky station in space, the scene that once shocked Asharena and Kassandra began to appear in the open viewing area in everyone's eyes, the vast space, the space facilities group that rushes over the optical mask, and the orbital space station surrounding the planet and quietly overlooking the world...
Even the heartless sirens stopped fighting and stared at the ancient giant space structure in a daze. The dragons also came to the edge of the elevator, looking at the dazzling starry sky in the distance with various complex expressions.
Only the Iron Man soldiers remained quietly in place, keeping silent like tools in standby. Alice-6's eyes shone with the stars in the distance. The only time she broke the silence was when the traffic cabin crossed a certain height and muttered softly in a voice like herself: "Communication with the Iron Man network was interrupted... According to the preset program, she moved into the autonomous working mode."
...
At the same time, in the center of Gondor, deep underground in the Talash Plain, Ophelia, who was personally debugging equipment in a secret laboratory, suddenly blinked and muttered to herself: "The data communication with the command unit Alice-6 was interrupted by the expected situation."
As she finished speaking, a voice from Gowen Cecil came from the body of an iron man soldier who was temporarily acting as a communicator next to her: "It will indeed exceed the communication distance of the Iron Man Network..."
"The ancient Iron Man network once represented the most advanced technology on this continent, but even such advanced technology has never considered the communication needs outside the atmosphere," Ophelia said lightly. "The last message sent by Alice-6 is that the Iron Man units she led have entered the track elevator and are heading to the sky. The subsequent actions depend on her and her subordinates' own judgment."
"Does the Iron Man soldiers with independent mobility functions... and they also sounded specifically for the 'network disconnection'?" Gao Wen's voice sounded a little interested. "As far as I know, the Iron Man in the Gondor era did not have this design... is your latest 'research result'?"
"So," Ophelia said casually. She continued her previous work, checking the neatly arranged weird devices in this huge laboratory, like black obelisks. From time to time, she used her "carrier" that is essentially a high-performance iron soldier to directly connect the data units in these devices, and answered Gao Wen's questions, "Alice-6 is a new type of iron soldier I adjusted after the war. The irons she brought in this operation also had the functions of autonomous movement that had not been before and was out of the network... The adjustment in this aspect is actually not complicated, I have ready-made data."
“Original data?”
"From Diana, she is the first soldier ever to completely break away from the Ironman network and achieve 'personal evolution'. I have found many useful records in her mind core," Ophelia said frankly. "Now I have used this data on the new model, and the effect is significant."
"...Why do I feel that your behavior is a bit unauthentic..."
"I'm really surprised you would say that," Ophelia's movement paused for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate face like a doll. "But I strictly abide by the agreement with Diana. I did not scan her memory, steal any information related to Tifeng, change her personality settings, and touch anything she didn't want me to touch, but I never said I wouldn't scan her logical parameters, and from the results, I did not use these data in places she didn't want."
"...I remember your personality is not like this. When you use Veronica's 'vest', you look like a saint..."
"I learned a little bit of experience in 'doing business' from you, isn't it okay?"
"...Okay, when I didn't say it," Gao Wen's voice sounded a little helpless. "Your performance now should be the nature of 'Ophelia Norton', and it's not bad. In short, if you don't talk about this, how is your laboratory?"
Ophelia stopped and glanced over the huge underground space.
It is located at the deepest underground of the Deep Blue Fortress, even deeper than the core control hall. The soil, rocks, layers of armor, cement and energy shields are isolated from this place in all senses.
In the extremely spacious hall, a large number of devices like black obelisks are arranged into a triple concentric ring structure. On the ground between the obelisks of each ring, there are a large number of runes-etched metal guide rails and energy pipes engraved with runes and interconnected. Over this large-scale and complex structure, you can see that there is even more complexity on the ceiling, like a rune grid, but the dome is obviously not completed yet, and a large number of small machinery and iron soldiers are busy commuting on the scaffolding.
At the end of this laboratory, you can also see a structure similar to the "observation room", thick walls, polymer curtain walls and a large number of energy shield generators, which all illustrate one thing: what is going to be carried out in this place is definitely a dangerous project.
However, those who know the existence of this facility are very clear: even with such strict protection, it is probably better than nothing for the possible "accidental disasters" here...
Apart from the Iron Man soldiers, there are only engineering machinery of all sizes and Ophelia herself. She shook her head gently at this moment: "It has not been completed yet. This is an extremely complex system, and it requires direct energy from the deep blue well to maintain operation. Even with the Iron Man's work efficiency, this is not something that can be done in the short term."
Gao Wen was silent for a few seconds, and then the voice came again: "Well... are all separated data ready?"
"The data is ready," Ophelia replied immediately, "I separated all records that do not belong to the deep blue well and have suspicious waveforms, and calculated all the parameters needed to simulate it with the deep blue magic and convert it into a 'field'. There are twelve possible results in total. After that, I will test it one by one when the equipment is ready."
"Very good," Gao Wen said with satisfaction, and then his voice seemed to be a little emotional, "I hope this will help us find the right path..."
Ophelia was silent for a few seconds, and her voice softly said: "You didn't put your expectations on that 'Nei civilization', right?"
"I have expectations for them, but I never put all expectations on uncontrollable factors," Gao Wen said frankly. "Even if the 'Nei civilization' is really honest and reliable, even if they cooperate with us sincerely and come up with all the information they have, who can ensure that they are the right path? And... even if their path is correct, we must at least have the ability to verify it with our own means."
"I understand what you mean," said Ophelia slowly, "I will do my best to make sure we get this ability."
"Looking forward to your results, Ophelia."
After the communication ended, the hall once again returned to quiet.
Ophelia was silent for a while, looked up at an iron soldier standing not far away and waited for him, and waved to let the other party forward.
The Iron Man soldier was immediately ordered to step forward and held a black cover and golden title book in his hand to Ophelia and opened it before the book cover opened, and the words "The Emperor's Holy Word" could be vaguely seen.
Ophelia's eyes swept across the pages and searched for the entry of "Vest" while flipping quickly.
