Chapter 376, Black Box Factory

Chapter 376, Black Box Factory

Eight months have passed since the Koroga incident broke out, and Gu Hang has never returned to the Raging Owl Star, let alone the Black Arrow Star.

He basically heard about the situation in these two worlds from the reports of government officials.

Although Koroga has huge potential and is a target for development, his fundamental base is still on the Raging Star.

And he has to take back the dozens of black boxes drawn out in this wave of technology lottery.

The shipyard was also very important in his heart, and he had to go back and keep an eye on it in person.

Now, the situation in Koroga has generally stabilized, and the reform is on the right track. With so many things accumulated, it is time to go back.

Ten more academies were captured in Koroja, most of which were placed in Mingyan City, and three others were placed in three other hives that had begun the preliminary stage of reform.

After doing this last thing, he set foot on the ship returning to the Raging Owl Star.

……

Wu Jiarong was already numb.

Although she knew that as long as the Governor specially found her and went to the secret research institute, he would show her something big.

After the Governor landed, she returned to the Governor's Mansion in Fuxing City to do official business for a few days, met with a group of officials from various places, and then prepared to inspect the Wei Xing City Industrial Center and clearly informed her that she would come to the institute. She was already ready Be mentally prepared.

However, when she and the head of the industrial center, Patel, accompanied the Governor for a day of inspection, the Governor came to her secret research institute late that night.

A spare underground space had been cleared out a long time ago, but after looking around, the Governor said:

"not enough."

What thing is not enough?

How many black boxes do you have?

Even a hundred of them can be accommodated in this space!

Of course, she didn't dare to say anything. She could only beep in her heart, and then said to the Governor with a bitter face: "This is already the largest library that can be activated at the moment. There are still bigger libraries. During the excavation, it really didn’t work, so I could only use a few small libraries nearby and try to get through..."

Gu Hang touched his chin and followed Wu Jiarong to look at several other so-called small libraries that had not yet been activated.

He was a little disappointed.

Not enough.

However, he also knew that Wu Jiarong could not be blamed for not trying his best.

This place, located in the countryside around Wei Xing City, is a research institute on the surface, but the most important main area is the underground part. Here are the black boxes of all the technology rewards that Gu Hang has redeemed from the beginning to the present.

These black boxes are all being activated. Those who produce finished products and produce industrial lines are all working according to the needs of the alliance.

This means that the utilization rate of the entire space must be particularly high. Black boxes cannot be simply stacked. Although they can be fully motorized internally, feeding and discharging materials require external design guidance and excellent assembly line design.

At the moment, the black boxes that Gu Hang wants to take out are indeed not as many as a hundred, but there are still about fifty - his previous total of thirty draws, after excluding less than five, the remaining The technology is basically a finished product plus a mother machine, two black boxes.

However, although the number is not that exaggerated, the size of individual black boxes is extremely large.

For example, the manufacturing technology of several starships.

Of course, the finished product and the mother machine are not just input materials, and a complete ship is directly pulled out. That is impossible.

The main purpose is to produce some modular key components according to the design requirements - if you really want to produce them all, that's fine, but for example, some armor steel plates are also produced in black boxes, which is a bit too stupid and not necessary at all.

The follow-up should be the production of key modular parts from the black box, or the production line of the mother machine to produce these modular parts, complete the production on the ground, and then send it to space; in space, the shipyard in the star port will build the ship according to the technical requirements. The shell is then assembled into the vessel at the shipyard.

But no matter what, even if it is just the modular output of core components, as long as it is used on a starship, it is nothing small.

Although the underground space of the research institute has been made as large as possible, it has almost reached the ceiling when it comes to producing parts for the Traveler, let alone much larger starship parts.

It is normal that Wu Jiarong did not consider this beforehand.

Moreover, as the number and scale of black boxes deployed in research institutes increases, this problem will become more serious in the future.

Not to mention the space problem of placement, with such a large space, so many raw materials need to be imported every day, and so many products need to be output, the confidentiality work will become increasingly difficult.

I have to think of another plan.

The first thought in Gu Hang's mind was to go to space and build a special space city or star fortress to house these unspeakable secrets.

In space, the advantages are many. There is no need to worry about someone entering by mistake, the defenses can be tight enough, and the space is definitely large enough. Even transportation will become more convenient than on the surface as the number of alliance starships increases.

But he soon rejected the idea himself.

Too garish.

Conventional secrecy is easy to maintain, and the star fort can be designed to be difficult to infiltrate; but secrecy can also become extremely difficult to maintain, especially when there are due procedures and requirements to enter and inspect, things will become difficult.

Another point is that it is not safe to put it in space.

This insecurity means that if there is a space attack, it will be difficult for the alliance to provide support even if it wants to, especially if the alliance's naval power is not strong enough.

While rejecting the idea of ​​placing the new 'black box factory' in space, Gu Hang also thought of a more ideal place.

Although there are some risks, it is indeed the best choice.

Moreover, he has actually been preparing for this for a long time.

Gu Hang patted the frowning Wu Jiarong on the shoulder: "Don't think about it anymore. Just transfer all the personnel to the surface. I can handle the things below myself."

Wu Jiarong was a little surprised.

But through long-term experience, she has learned not to ask questions that she shouldn't ask.

In the end, she just nodded obediently, and then followed the governor's order and began to transfer all the personnel in the underground space out, and all the black boxes temporarily stopped operating.

Most of the people active in the institute were servitors who had undergone brain surgery, and their reactions after hearing the orders were very dull.

The very few researchers who are absorbed into the institute have gone through the most stringent loyalty assessment and training. They will not reveal secrets and fully understand the importance of obeying orders.

After everyone left the underground space, Gu Hang could start his own work.

His mind ascended to the subspace and entered the Kingdom of Storm God.

Here, countless heroic spirits saluted Gu Hang in the sky.

After returning the favor, he headed for his destination.

It was a 'factory' built in the Kingdom of Storm God.

It occupies a vast area, but it is currently nothing more than an empty shell.

A large number of heroic spirits are working inside and continuing to expand the factory.

And this is the new place Gu Hang prepared for his black box factory. His psychic power rapidly unfolded from his heart, and a subspace rift appeared in the factory. At the same time, it was connected to the real world and the underground of the Alliance's secret research institute.

Immediately afterwards, everything in the underground space was swallowed up by this subspace rift.

Gu Hang smiled.

This should be enough.

The black box factory that was swallowed into the Kingdom of Storm God remained completely intact. It was not just the black boxes that were swallowed up, but also the supporting facilities built around these black boxes by Wu Jiarong over several years. The semi-automatic equipment for discharging and feeding materials was also intact. As long as manpower was invested, it would be possible. Re-enable now.

In terms of manpower, there is no longer a need to use servitors.

The heroic spirits in the Kingdom of Storm God will be more useful than servitors. They were Alliance soldiers who had sacrificed their lives on the battlefield in the past, and their loyalty was unquestionable; their existence also completely relied on Gu Hang's power.

Of course, the raw materials required by the black box factory need to be transported from the real world; the things produced also need to be transported to the outside world.

But there is no need to worry too much about this, Gu Hang already has an idea.

In the underground space of the secret research institute in the real world, the power of the Kingdom of Storms has not declined. Instead, with Gu Hang's power, it has further integrated with this land.

Gu Hang processed this area of ​​the real world into a superposition of subspace and the real world.

It was just like the situation when Koroja went to Fino City, but Gu Hang wanted to do this on Raging Owl, but it was much more convenient than Gawaga. The Kingdom of Storm God was originally born on this land, and on the Raging Owl Star, the curtain of reality is already relatively thin, which provides an objective basis for more conveniently opening up the subspace and the real world.

And the more important point is that Gu Hang, the ‘evil god’, lives in the real world. Not only can he control the nature of subspace and mobilize the power of the Kingdom of Storms at will, he is also a human being who can exist stably in reality.

Using himself as the anchor point, it connects two places and maximizes convenience.

However, at this point, it is not completely finished.

The superposition of subspace and the real world is not a stable state. If you leave it alone like this, over time, it will either disappear or expand uncontrollably, which is not in line with Gu Hang's requirements.

He also needs to use his own strength to stabilize this place.

Gu Hang worked on this for half a day.

……

Half a day later, Wu Jiarong received Gu Hang's permission and returned to the underground black box factory she had built.

She came with high expectations, and the Governor's action would definitely be extraordinary.

But when she first came in, at first glance, nothing seemed to have changed. All the layout is almost exactly the same as when she left.

She was a little disappointed, thinking that the Governor had something... huh?

wrong.

The space is wrong, it couldn't be this big here!

The underground space of the secret research institute only housed a few black boxes at first. Later, as the demand continued to expand, multiple underground warehouses were developed. However, even the largest one built later was not as big as it seemed.

Almost all black boxes are gathered together.

Upon closer inspection, it was still not right, and the quantity was not right either.

Not only are there no fewer black boxes, but there are many more!

Wu Jiarong couldn't help but look at the Governor.

Gu Hang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about space now. The space here is almost endless."

Wu Jiarong did not ask the Governor how he did it, she was just shocked by it.

She has realized that this is not a 'technology', but a great power.

Then, she saw many 'people' whose bodies were made of blue light appearing here. They are uniform and quite disciplined.

The leader seemed to be wearing the military uniform of the Alliance, with the rank of colonel hanging on his body.

"Lord Governor! The production team of the Heroic Spirit Legion is all in place, please give instructions!"

Gu Hang returned the gift, and then said: "Colonel Derek, this is Ms. Wu Jiarong, the head of the Alliance Secret Research Institute. Next, she will become the leader of the production team, and you need to cooperate with her work well. Ensure that the alliance’s secret factory can be put into production smoothly.”

Wu Jiarong hesitated, but under the encouraging eyes of the governor, she stepped forward and shook hands with Colonel Derek.

A flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and she seemed to have heard of Derek's name.

Isn't this the first division commander of the 31st Airborne Division of the Alliance Army? Didn't he die on the battlefield to recapture the Far North Industrial City during the Unification War on Raging Owl Star?

How did he become a heroic spirit?

Then those other heroic spirits...

Wu Jiarong looked at Gu Hang again, and her expression at this moment was nothing but shock.

The human warriors who died on the battlefield return to the Golden Throne... This has always been the slogan of the state religion. And even among the Mechanicus Order, there is a roughly similar saying that the destination of all things lies in the God of All Machines.

The heroic spirit who returned to the Golden Throne appears next to Governor Gu?

This……

Wu Jiarong, who was completely confused, stepped forward in confusion and cautiously shook hands with Colonel Derek.

There was a real touch on my hand.

Gu Hang smiled beside him and said, "I believe you will cooperate well in the future."

……

After taking Wu Jiarong to see the newly renovated underground space, Gu Hang asked Derek to continue his mission.

The entire factory, under the control of the heroic spirits, has begun to operate.

The next mode is also relatively simple.

In the real world, special transportation fleets with a high level of confidentiality will transport raw materials and transport finished products, and send them to various places in need.

The servitor will be responsible for delivering the raw materials to the designated location in the underground space, and transporting the finished products from the designated location to the surface, waiting for transportation by the fleet. This so-called designated position is already a subspace superposition state. But from now on, the servitors will never see the black box factory with their own eyes.

Then, the heroic spirits will be responsible for using these materials, putting them into the semi-automated assembly line, and sending them into the black box. They will also take out the black box products from the assembly line and send them to the designated location to wait for the servitors to carry them.

Gu Hang not only solved the problem of insufficient space in the black box factory, but also maximized confidentiality.

Unauthorized people cannot enter the black box work area at all. This is not only a matter of security level, but also the active identification of subspace forces. Anyone without permission will be punished by thunder the moment they step in.

Moreover, due to the distortion of time and space in the Kingdom of Storms, there is more than one place in this superposition state.
