Chapter 380 Emergencies(2/2)
So most people don't know what it means for a shipyard to be capable of manufacturing large warships.
But this feeling is undoubtedly very happy.
After all, in their minds, medium-sized battleships are already very powerful.
If humans had battleships back then and faced the attack from the Pioneer Empire battleships, they would definitely have won more easily and quickly.
So with the support of all civilizations, the Titan shipyard project officially kicked off.
——
Monday, February 23, 2054.
In order to be responsible for this project with maximum efficiency, Xu Lei once again said goodbye to his family temporarily and drove the Golden Crow to Titan, preparing to go to the site to conduct command.
As the Golden Crow took off from Longhu High-tech Park, under the watchful eyes of Chen Shihe, Xu Xuan, Xingtong and others, it disappeared in the blink of an eye and rushed out of the Earth's atmosphere, heading towards Titan at the speed of light.
And Li Chengzhe and other project members.
Although they are ordinary carbon-based humans and are not suitable for field trips on Titan, they are able to complete relevant research by remotely controlling intelligent robots.
There is no delay at all.
Relying on the powerful flight speed of the Golden Crow, Xu Lei soon reached Titan.
After passing through the thick atmosphere of Titan and arriving at the Titan Fortress under construction according to the location coordinates, looking down through the porthole of the Golden Crow, one can see that the fortress has begun to take shape.
You can see many buildings made of metal materials.
And there are many activities of members of the Space Force inside.
After all, before the outer eggshell-shaped defensive cover was completely completed, the surface temperature inside the fortress was as low as over 100 degrees.
Ordinary humans simply cannot survive.
Even members of the Space Force who possess amorphous alloy mechanical bodies must be careful here.
Otherwise problems will still occur.
However, it is worth mentioning that Xu Lei did not control the Golden Crow to land in the fortress, but moved to a very large vacant area in the south.
Prepare for an on-site inspection of the location of the shipyard.
This is the area of the shipyard planned by Li Chengzhe and others, but according to the decision at the discussion meeting, this area needs to be expanded about ten times.
"The scenery is quite nice, it looks like an oversized orange."
When the Golden Crow landed safely, Xu Lei stepped out of the cockpit and stepped on the thick crystalline ice. He looked around at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Because in addition to the fog that covers the world, there are also various clouds on the surface of Titan.
It is composed of methane, ethane or simple organic matter.
Together with other rare and complex chemicals, Titan appears orange in space, making it look like an oversized orange to a certain extent.
But the ground of Titan is made up of crystalline ice, and down to more than three thousand meters is the solid core of the planet.
And the core is still hot.
Relying on these characteristics that are different from the earth, star and moon, Titan is special.
In addition, Xu Lei also noticed that heavy cruisers and transport ships would pass by in the sky from time to time. They should be warships transporting personnel and supplies.
Mainly due to the special nature of Titan, in order to build Titan Fortress and shipyard, materials need to be transported from other places.
Fortunately, this matter has already started in advance.
So now some supplies have been accumulated on Titan.
It will not affect the progress of the shipyard project.
It can be said that Xu Lei is generally quite satisfied with the current situation.
But just as he was thinking about how to proceed, he saw a familiar figure walking over. Looking carefully, he found that it was Zhang Jingtong, the deputy commander of the First Fleet.
There is no doubt that Zhang Jingtong has always been grateful to Xu Lei. From a retired soldier, he became one of the first batch of mechanical life forms, and now he serves as the deputy commander of the First Fleet and has taken care of his granddaughter.
, but it has nothing to do with Xu Lei.
Therefore, after he came over, he immediately took the initiative to say hello: "Congressman Xu, welcome to Titan. If you have any needs, please feel free to tell me."
Xu Lei obviously didn't expect to see Zhang Jingtong here.
After a slight hesitation, he asked: "Shouldn't you be staying at the Space Command with Lei Zhan? Why are you here?"
"That's it, Congressman Xu." Hearing this, Zhang Jingtong did not hesitate and immediately explained: "The fleet knew that Congressman Xu was going to build a new shipyard on Titan and needed a large number of crew members to help, so Commander Lei specially
Send me here to help and cooperate with you, Councilor Xu, throughout the entire process."
After listening to Zhang Jingtong's words, Xu Lei immediately understood what was going on.
I know this should be Lei Zhan’s decision.
But I have to say that with Zhang Jingtong around, some things will indeed go faster.
Since they have already arrived at Titan, it is obviously not appropriate to let them leave now, but some situations still need to be explained clearly.
When my thoughts came to this point, I heard Xu Lei say: "If you are willing to go to Titan to support the construction of the shipyard, I will naturally welcome you, but you may have to stay here for a long time."
It goes without saying that it is difficult to build a shipyard with a production line for advanced warships of the Origin Star III civilization. Even if enough space forces are mobilized for the operation this time, the construction period will be at least about two years.
It may even take longer due to environmental factors on Titan.
Xu Lei can rely on the Golden Crow to move around the planets in the solar system at will, but everyone else basically has to stay on Titan until the project is completed.
After all, even a heavy cruiser has a very limited sailing speed.
It takes a lot of time to travel back and forth between planets.
It is very detrimental to the progress of the shipyard.
Although Zhang Jingtong didn't care too much about time, when he heard Xu Lei say this, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Subconsciously asked: "How long will it take for Congressman Xu to build this shipyard?"
"About two years." Xu Lei answered truthfully.
This answer seemed to surprise Zhang Jingtong. He paused for a few seconds before he said sincerely: "The greatest luck of human civilization is that Congressman Xu is here. I promise to fully support the construction of the shipyard."
If we put it in the past, two years would indeed be a long time for human beings.
However, as civilization develops rapidly and becomes stronger, it often takes decades to complete a stage. In this case, two years is indeed a short period of time.
Crucially, this also proves Xu Lei's strength.
As for the next time, Xu Lei did not say anything more to Zhang Jingtong. After Li Chengzhe and other project members connected to the intelligent robot and came to the area, they officially started planning the construction progress of the shipyard.
In the past few days, Xu Lei has already integrated all the contents of the two science and technology exhibits purchased from the Science and Technology Museum.
As long as sufficient resources are ensured, it is not difficult to realize this shipyard.
On the contrary, during this process, everyone including Li Chengzhe learned a lot, and the whole person felt suddenly enlightened.
that's all.
As the project officially begins.
The construction of the shipyard is gradually getting on track.
A large number of space forces can be seen in Titan Fortress every day.
Seeing the shipyard gradually taking shape.
In addition, during this period, in addition to driving the Golden Crow back to Earth to be with his family, Xu Lei also found time to go to the Solar System Defense Ring.
Improve and upgrade it.
Give it stronger defense capabilities.
For mechanical life forms with relatively long lives, time always passes by unconsciously, and the shipyard project soon took more than a year.
Looking down from the top of Titan Fortress, you can see that the originally rectangular fortress has a large part protruding due to the shipyard, as if it is like a crawling starry beast.
Xu Lei proved his powerful civilization technology with practical actions.
In addition to some scattered components that have not yet been completed, it will not be long before the Titan shipyard can officially start operation and try to produce warships.
This will mark that mankind truly has the strength to advance to the second level civilization.
What everyone didn't expect was that just when the solar system was peaceful and various projects were developing at a rapid pace, the extraterrestrial civilization monitoring device deployed in the Coyinbo belt suddenly sent bad information.
According to the content transmitted by the monitoring device, it is known that a fleet from extraterrestrial civilization has entered the Coyinbo belt.
Soon it will break into the inner solar system.
Because this situation was so unexpected and completely exceeded the alliance's expectations, as soon as the news reached the Earth Star Imperial City Alliance headquarters, an emergency meeting was convened with parliamentarian representatives.
Let’s discuss together how to respond to this emergency.
Keep the solar system safe.
It is worth mentioning that although Xu Lei was quite surprised by this incident, he was not too worried.
I just went to the imperial capital to attend the meeting as required.
Chapter completed!
