Chapter 211 Free megastructure! Ring world! War month!
‘These high knight scientists have done a pretty good job, and many scientific and technological principles and technologies have been replicated and developed. ’
Through the work log just sent by the Science Hub Department, Li Ang clearly understood that his research team has made breakthroughs in many technical points.
Some technological points such as carbon nanofibers, quantum computer models, and antimatter shield devices have been included in the technology point reserves of the giant company.
But what makes Li Ang even happier is that the two generals of the Pacific Rim Defense Force, Raleigh Beckett and Asako Mori, have also been confirmed to join the development department of the Universal Giant Company.
With the addition of these two protagonists of Pacific Rim, the talent pool of the giant company has been filled again.
As officers who have received professional combat training and have long-term experience in fighting aliens.
The addition of Raleigh and Asako Mori can quickly fill the gap in the giant company's excellent commanders.
At this moment, Li Ang turned off the holographic screen in front of him. At the moment of distraction, he remembered many past events.
I remembered the little arms dealer who rose from the first pistol he traded.
Later, he developed from a small Chinatown to a giant company that controls two planets and guides human civilization.
The hard process and experience during this period made him feel full of accomplishment, but also a little tired.
Thanks to Li Ang, he gathered the hardworking talents of all the P-society players, as well as the soul of war criminals and the buff of the system.
It gave him a strong ability to heal himself and recover his energy, and the endurance to think and act 24 hours a day. He only needs to take a five-minute nap to be fully "charged".
P-society players are like this, squinting for five minutes and working hard all day, unlike the cool and unrestrained male protagonist who is only busy brushing the wild girls and fighting villains.
But Li Ang can only build giant structures, eliminate heretics, merge into the power grid, destroy viruses, and build fleets...
'Is this the price to pay for going to the golden toilet? I was so angry! ’
At this moment, Li Ang suddenly realized why the human emperor in Warhammer would go crazy and do some incredible things.
Mostly, he was exhausted from overwork.
However, this little pressure was nothing for Li Ang.
The young cabinet minister Yan Shifan could transform into the Ming weightlifting champion and shoulder the burden of the two capitals and thirteen provinces.
As the No. 1 P-society player in the universe, Li Ang was the No. 1 war criminal who rolled out of the stars. How could he lose face!
‘Now that things have come to this, let’s draw a prize first. ’
Li Ang, who had regained his spirits, turned his attention to the system panel. The number and quality of the draws he got this time were much better than last time!
Because of the periodic scientific research points provided by the [Singularity Power Station] of the scientific hub, these points have been converted into 1 guaranteed draw opportunity.
And this time, the guaranteed prize pool of the universe is the "Stars" technology points in the 10-level draw roulette!
This means that Leon has a chance to get a new giant structure or some other powerful weapon for free. It is not impossible that he can create a ground-shattering star device.
Looking at the 11 lottery opportunities on the panel, Leon no longer hesitated and immediately started the lottery.
‘The lottery starts! ! ’
As Leon's thoughts fell, the rapidly spinning Zhutian Prize Pool Roulette soon stopped and all the items drawn this time were put into the warehouse.
[This time, the 11 consecutive draws of the roulette have obtained:
Ringworld (guaranteed level 10 Golden Legend·Stars)
Space Elevator (The Wandering Earth·Earth United Government)
Hulkbuster Armor (Marvel Universe·Avengers·Stark Industries)
M-1A5 Engineer Power Armor (Starship Troopers·Human Federation)
M134-Minigun Gatling (The Wandering Earth·Earth United Government)
Quadrotor Heavy Whale Transporter (Tomorrow Wars·Mech Troopers)
CN373 Transporter (The Wandering Earth·Earth United Government)
Pool Cleaning Robot (Love Death Machine·Qimalan)...]
‘Wow, this time I got a giant building for free, it’s a great deal! ’
When Li Ang saw the [Ringworld] giant structure being drawn, all the technology points and items behind it seemed dim.
The reason is that the gap between the two is completely several orders of magnitude, and there is no comparability at all!
Like the Ideal City, the Ring World is also a huge megastructure suitable for all creatures and species in the universe.
Any species is 100% habitable in the Ring World, even pioneer civilizations with harsh environmental requirements can live here safely.
Similar to the Ideal City, the Ring World also has obvious functional area divisions, such as urban areas, power generation areas, research areas, agricultural areas, and industrial areas.
Once this megastructure is completed, it will provide a large amount of habitable space and a variety of jobs for the Universal Corporation.
‘The habitable space of the Universal City Ideal City has only occupied one-fifth of the area until now. Now there is a Ring World, and there is no place for so many people to live! ’
Li Ang shook his head with a smile. This kind of happy trouble was the first time he felt it.
The giant building of the Ring World is actually not a necessity for the current giant companies.
After having the two Earths of "The Netherworld" and "Pacific Rim", Li Ang does not need to build any more new homes.
Even if this ring world is free, he does not need to bear extra resource consumption and a long construction period.
At this moment, the megastructures that Li Ang really needs are still research institutes like matter decompressors that can improve productivity, or scientific hubs that can add some technology.
Either to expand productivity, or to improve the level of technology, or... just to give super giant ships, such as the Colossus.
Let the offensive power and destructiveness of the giant enterprise's army rise to a new level!
'Although the current giant enterprise's weapons and equipment, naval fleets, ground forces, and space warriors are not weak, they still lack some strategic weapons that can hold the field. '
In Li Ang's view, the Endless-class starship can only be said to be sufficient, but it is not a real giant enterprise's heavy weapon. If it encounters some powerful advanced civilizations, it can only do a one-for-one exchange at best.
But it is not worthwhile to consume the endless starships and play the money-burning game of collision and self-destruction with alien civilizations.
It would be great if there was a super-giant ship weapon that could make the final decision, such as the Colossus starship equipped with the Earth-shattering Star, Neutron Killer, and Anle Angel weapons!
However, Li Ang did not dare to imagine that he could get such a good thing by lottery now.
After thinking about it, Li Ang decided to take a look at the specific introduction of the ring world first, and then decide whether to install such a huge megastructure in the solar system.
Soon, through the system panel information, Li Ang learned that the ring world is different from a single ideal city in that it is divided into four independent areas.
That is, a circular ring belt is composed of four parts, not a single complete ring belt.
This means that a ring world megastructure is actually four independent planets that do not interfere with each other, and each area can have its own architectural style and functional role.
In this way, even if a single ring belt is damaged, it will not cause the collapse of the overall structure, so the stability of the megastructure is better.
In addition, the construction site of the ring world needs to be around the star in the middle of the galaxy, so that it can get enough light and heat to ensure the source of energy.
Although the ring of the ring world is only 15 meters thick, its height reaches an astonishing 1,600 kilometers.
And the total area of the sun-facing side of the ring is equivalent to the sum of the surface areas of 3 million earths!
There are various terrains such as atmosphere, land, mountains, oceans, cities, etc. on it. The ring will also rotate to create a gravitational acceleration similar to that of the inhabited planet.
It can be said that the ring world composed of four ring belts, each of which can be regarded as a huge Gaia planet!
'This is a real human wonder, a luxurious and huge giant building, a gorgeous and dazzling pearl of civilization! '
After viewing the specific completion map and video of the ring world on the system panel, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a little painful while being amazed.
Because there are too many resources to build this giant structure, it can directly drain all the planets in the entire solar system!
Even if the debris of the entire galaxy is hollowed out, it cannot fill the ring belt, let alone the materials for shaping the main structure.
The metal skeleton required for the building has a circumference of an astonishing 1 billion kilometers, which can be called a miracle in the engineering world.
From the construction of the foundation to the casting of the frame, and then to the completion of the section, the entire project period will take 58 years if it is carried out according to the normal process.
Three generations of people!
The huge investment of funds and resources, coupled with the long construction period, also makes the ring world difficult to recover and unstable.
After all, this thing is mainly built to focus on building a complex ecosystem, with a sense of deliberate "showmanship".
It is completely different from the ideal city, a functional universe city that focuses on production and living.
The production area on the ring world basically does not produce much resources, nor does it produce military equipment, and even the habitability is not as good as the ideal city.
'This giant structure can only be used to cultivate and raise some alien beasts or other creatures, just as a giant cosmic biological museum. '
Li Ang said thoughtfully.
It just so happened that he had just obtained some genetic samples of Kaiju from Pacific Rim, so it seemed like a good choice to build some giant beasts on the ring belt as ornamental animals in the "zoo".
Of course, if this thing had not been obtained by Li Ang from the Zhutian prize pool for free, he would not have needed to bear the required construction resources himself.
Then Li Ang would never spend such a high price to build such a low-cost megastructure at this time.
According to the system's prompts, if he wanted to build this wonder, Li Ang could only move the resources and labor of rebuilding two earths to build a ring world.
With the existing productivity and resources of the giant enterprise, even if everything was devoted to building a ring world, it would take more than 20 years.
But if the Universal Giant Enterprise stopped developing for 20 years just to build such a megastructure with little effect, then Li Ang would really become a "Great Wu Monarch" who was fond of ostentation.
He liked the megastructure very much, but the premise of building the megastructure was that it must be useful, and it must be a rigid demand!
Expanding productivity is a rigid need, researching and developing technological points is a rigid need, and improving the combat effectiveness of giant enterprises is a rigid need. However, building residential areas is not a necessity for today's giant enterprises.
‘This thing is really expensive, and it is quite fragile. After it is completed, additional giant ship troops will be dispatched to stay here for protection. ’
Li Ang shook his head and sighed when he saw this.
Due to the special structure of the ring world, it is much more fragile than the spherical stable structure of Ideal City.
Even an ultra-high-power energy weapon strike or a huge kinetic energy impact will directly destroy the main structure of the giant structure.
If there are not enough cruisers patrolling the surroundings to prevent attacks from alien civilizations or the fall of large meteorites, it will easily cause damage to the ring world.
Fortunately, this giant structure was procured for free, otherwise Li Ang would definitely not be willing to be the one who built the ring world.
But if it were given for free, it would be the most perfect masterpiece!
After understanding the specific functions and details of the ring world, Li Ang took a brief look at the objects in the sky behind him.
The space elevator from the world of "The Wandering Earth" and the Hulkbuster armor from the world of "Avengers" are the two items he is most interested in.
In fact, the giant companies in the world have not yet been able to build a complete space elevator because the scientific research department is preoccupied with developing antimatter and weapons.
Little attention has been paid to this transportation resource.
Now, the emergence of space elevators will improve the cargo transportation efficiency of giant companies to a certain extent, accelerate interstellar colonization and further enhance productivity.
‘Hulkbuster armor, if you equip it with the Astartes warriors, they will become a group of flying space warriors! ’
When he saw this heavenly item, Li Ang could not wait to arrange a set for himself and wear it to feel what it was like to be an Iron Man.
The Hulkbuster armor in the "Avengers" worldview is quite explosive in terms of its expressiveness, both in terms of visual effects and practical functions!
The Hulkbuster armor and Veronica orbital system are a pair of special systems that complement each other and feature adaptive navigation separation and assembly technology.
It allows the user to issue commands on the ground, and the Veronica system located in the earth's orbit will release the armor accessories library at the designated location.
After the components of the armor are automatically assembled, the parts library will always be suspended around, providing component replacement for the armor at any time.
This is to ensure the user's combat capabilities.
That's right, this thing has a similar activation mechanism to the armor summon in "Armor Warrior".
The summoner on the ground uses the device on his wrist to shout "Armor fit", and then the ERP satellite in low-Earth orbit emits a beam to complete the final armor summoning.
'Arc pulse cannon, high-voltage stun device, kinetic impact punch, built-in needle tube that can be filled with viruses or tranquilizers...'
Li Ang silently counted the various weapon systems of the Hulkbuster armor in his mind. After careful calculation, this armor actually has more offensive functions than the MarkX power armor!
And the power is even greater.
This will definitely make a huge leap forward in improving the combat power of the "Iron Hands" Astartes Chapter.
"Comfortable...!"
Li Ang collected the items with a satisfied smile, but when he saw the "swimming pool cleaning robot" at the end, he showed some doubts.
The great artist Qi Malan in "Love, Death, Robots", that little swimming pool cleaning robot? Even such unpopular little things have been taken out!
Then next time, will you draw out the cleaning robot WALL-E and the intelligent robot Eva from "Wall-E"?
Li Ang smiled, as these seemingly insignificant gadgets may have less effect.
But as long as their existence can contribute to the development and progress of giant companies, they are useful and valuable.
‘The fourth phase of the giant enterprise template can finally be opened. I hope that this time we can open some more useful giant structures! ’
While Li Ang was praying in his heart that this template giant construction could create a good building, he switched the interface in front of him to the Universal Giant Enterprise template.
[The fourth stage of Global Giants - the Moon of War can be unlocked. The host's current corporate currency value is insufficient and the template cannot be unlocked. Please recharge or complete the task. 】
[Recharge method: Dismantle other giant structures to obtain enterprise coins]
[Complete subsequent missions of conquering the heavens to obtain a large amount of enterprise currency]
【……】
‘What the hell is it about dismantling other giant structures to recharge enterprise coins? I almost thought this was really a cheating system produced by the Evil Goose Factory! ’
Looking at the "recharge" option, Li Ang once recalled the fear of being dominated by Goose Factory Games. Fortunately, there is no other krypton gold interface in this system.
A backbone player of P Club like Li Ang would rather spend his life than spend an extra penny to earn money.
What's more, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing by dismantling the ring world he had just extracted, exchanging it for enterprise coins, and then unlocking the War Moon.
‘But… the giant structure that was refreshed this time was actually the War Moon, a planet-like giant ship? ! ’
Li Ang was overjoyed. This was his first giant-level super weapon. Different from the previous Ideal City, Science Hub, and Material Decompressor, the War Moon was a truly heavyweight giant ship!
The so-called [War Moon] is actually a planetary battleship with a planet as its main body and equipped with various weapons.
It mainly uses a huge "particle light spear" as the main gun, is powered by a core giant reactor inside the planet, and finally installs a giant thruster on the other side of the planet.
To put it simply, it is to transform a planet into a giant ship, and then drive this huge planet to conquer other alien civilizations!
Judging from the power level in "Stellaris", this huge starship structure can destroy any fleet array.
Once such a crazy engineering project is really completed, the majesty of the universe giant will be interpreted by it, what is the real "open door! Free trade"!
'If the green-skinned orcs in Warhammer saw this giant ship, I'm afraid they would be so greedy that even their saliva would fall. '
Leon chuckled.
In fact, the War Moon Megastructure is the same as the starship construction idea of the orcs in "Warhammer 40K".
But this group of orcs with magical [my power of thinking] metaphysical technology can just plug in some cannons, plasma engines, aiming systems and other garbage things into the hollowed-out asteroids.
Just such a planetary starship assembled from various garbage and big stones can float in the universe and serve as an orc spaceship.
It can be said that the "Orc Monolith" spaceship made by these green-skinned orcs is equivalent to the ultimate beggar version of the Moon of War.
However, in Li Ang's view, the Moon of War is actually more like a combination of Earth Cannon + Wandering Earth.
'Whatever you think, you get it! '
At this moment, Li Ang just wanted to laugh up to the sky. He was worried about his Universe Megacorp, and he was still short of a key super weapon. Unexpectedly, the next megastructure that appeared was this Moon of War.
Although the construction of the Moon of War is a bit insufficient among the many megastructures in "Stellaris", it seems not very cost-effective for the bottom.
But this thing is equally useful and powerful!
Before getting the Burning Heaven Divine Soldier Giant Ship, the Moon of War can completely exist as a substitute and serve as a strategic-level weapon for the giant enterprise to make the final decision!
'It's cool, and those who play Stellaris are cool again. '
Li Ang immediately cut into the system interface of [Moon of War] and carefully checked the configuration information of the megastructure.
[Erns-class battleship: ISS Attack Moon
Quality: Legend
Core attack device: Omega Annihilation Light Lance
Internal equipment: ISS Attack Moon-type super AI, planetary reactor, can equip any weapon by itself! ]
…
Through the configuration information on the giant structure, Leon has learned that the main output of ISS Attack Moon is that in addition to the Annihilation Light Lance, other giant main gun devices can be installed on the ship shaft.
And on the planetary artillery shaft, some light long-range missiles or other plasma laser cannons can also be equipped.
The planet's crust can be used as a huge hangar to carry a large number of fighters, reconnaissance aircraft, or cruisers, and even aircraft carriers such as the Infinity class.
The sky thrusters at the end can even prepare more missile nests, point defense barriers or anti-aircraft guns.
What's more exaggerated is that the daily navigation speed of ISS Attack Moon has reached sub-light speed, and it can reach super-light speed at full speed!
When seeing such excellent basic data, Li Ang's mind could not help but emerge a picture of a planet drifting in the universe and turning with a black hole.
'My ball is awesome! '
Li Ang suppressed his excitement and impulse. After understanding the various characteristics and information of the War Month, it was time to pay the price.
It is certainly fun to get the items of the heavens for free, but most of the things drawn from the prize pool are actually relatively useless for the current giant enterprises.
Technology points such as matrix, manticore virus, and gene seeds that can bring qualitative changes to giant enterprises are, after all, very rare cases.
If you want the giant enterprise to get by, you have to work hard.
Immediately, Li Ang clicked on the resources required to unlock [War Month], and he realized that the value of the enterprise currency he had accumulated was still far from exchanging for the giant structure!
If it is estimated according to the previous completion of the "Underworld" and "Pacific Rim" universe task settlement rewards,
This time, Li Ang had to complete at least two system tasks in a row to unlock the fourth-stage giant enterprise template and obtain the Moon of War.
This meant that he had to take down two other worlds, or directly take on a more difficult other world conquest mission!
