Chapter 44 The first level of ruins (please subscribe and vote monthly)
A typical large underground base has a total thickness of up to 20 kilometers. This thickness cannot be penetrated even by a salvo of battleship main guns.
Although he didn't encounter any checkpoints along the way, Li Qing could guess that there must be countless layers of gates in the twenty-kilometer passage to seal the passage, but now the passage has been abandoned and all the arrangements are unusable.
Li Qing was not in a hurry to send troops down, but successively sent more than twenty drones to conduct reconnaissance, conducting an all-round reconnaissance of the entire underground base, room by room and space.
Anyway, there is no need to rush, there are no outsiders here, and there is plenty of time to dig slowly.
However, on the second day of his meticulous reconnaissance, when he was halfway through the underground base, the drone discovered that there was another layer below, and a huge metal portal stood deep in the base.
This cheered up Li Qing, thought about it, and sent two frigates back to the base to transport a group of robot workers.
The robot workers brought a batch of equipment, took a small aircraft down to the second-floor entrance of the base, and used a cutting machine to cut the gate.
At the same time, the internal facilities on the first floor of the base and the items stored in the warehouse were roughly inventoried.
A very standard refuge base, which contains a complete industrial system and millions of robots.
These robots are stored in several huge spaces, arranged neatly and densely. According to their appearance, they should be divided into production robots and combat robots. They are not yet activated at this time.
Li Qing didn't dare to activate it now. This thing must have been programmed. As long as it is activated, it will work according to the predetermined program. If the robot's behavioral logic program is not reset to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, once it is activated, it will attack them immediately.
One million robots, including at least two hundred thousand combat robots, this is really
“It’s time to help!”
Li Qing is short of manpower now, and one million robots can definitely solve his urgent need.
Even if the robot is only a level 3 civilization, its technological level is not as good as human technology, but it is used as cannon fodder and as a worker. What does this technological difference matter?
In addition to one million robots and dozens of industrial lines, the largest number in the first-level base is various refined metal ingots and alloy ingots.
Although the hardness is not comparable to the alloy levels used by human civilization, the basic raw materials are here and only need to be re-processed.
After a rough inventory, there are a total of 5 million cubic meters of alloy, all of which need to be remade. After deducting labor costs and other rare metal materials, the standard alloy can be smelted, and it is estimated that it can earn about 5 billion.
From this point of view, Li Linyu lost money by selling this task chain to himself. The rewards in the base of this task chain alone are as much as the 12 billion star yuan sold by the token.
But that's not how the account was calculated. At this time, Li Linyu had nothing, and it was impossible for him to continue digging on his own.
Moreover, this base has more than one level. The danger on the surface level wiped out Li Linyu's entire army. God knows what dangers there are on the next level.
If the tokens are not sold, the money on hand will not be enough to continue to build a fleet with a certain strength.
And even if the team is reorganized, he will not be able to continue digging based on his strength, so selling it to make a profit is a very wise choice.
Everyone knows that the value of the epic quest chain is extremely high, but if you don’t have the ability to dig it out, it’s just useless.
In fact, when the second floor was halfway dug, Li Qing ordered to stop, and decided to move the things in the underground base first, so as not to wait until the second floor was opened, and if there was a war that would damage the materials inside, , or if the foundation collapses, wouldn’t that be a big loss?
This move took him several months.
Even if he opened the palm universe directly in the underground base without having to travel through twenty kilometers of passages to move it to the surface, there were too many things and he had too few manpower, especially the sets of large equipment, which required professional handling machines to move them.
He could use powerful spiritual energy to forcibly absorb it, but at this time, his spiritual energy has exceeded the strength of two thousand spiritual energy, but his spiritual energy has not yet ascended. He is now barely able to restrain these boiling spiritual energy, and he has no ability at all. To do delicate work using psychic energy, you can only rely on robots to slowly transport it.
Speaking of which, Li Qing has too many things to do now.
It will take at least seven or eight years to complete the collection of battlefield debris and exploration of the planet's terrain at the base.
Although it does not take seven or eight years to move the materials in the base here, it will still take more than half a year.
In addition, he had to prepare for spiritual ascension, which required a trip to Jinmen, as he could not ascend on his own here.
Well, that's not to say it's impossible, but without anyone to protect or guide you, the success rate of ascension will be very low, so low that it's almost impossible.
In fact, Li Qing knew the general procedure of the so-called psychic ascension. When the accumulated psychic intensity reaches more than 1,000, he can try to communicate with the psychic world, enter the psychic world, and leave a mark in the psychic world on his own. That is, the coordinates are used to obtain feedback from the spiritual world, which means the ascension is successful.
It seems very simple, but it is actually very difficult.
First of all, you need to find a spiritual energy tower, and use the power of the spiritual energy tower to amplify the spiritual energy and will strength of the ascended person, so that you can enter the subspace without being disturbed by various unknown anomalies in the subspace, and you also need the help of The original coordinates of the spiritual world in the spiritual energy tower can directly find the spiritual world.
Without a psionic tower to enter the warp on your own, just finding the psionic world would be a problem.
Even if you find the spiritual world and enter it, it does not mean that the spiritual ascension is successful. You still have to find something in the spiritual world and leave your mark on it as a coordinate for communication with the spiritual world.
This is quite dangerous, because the mark does not mean just finding an open space to leave it, but you must find a spiritual object in the spiritual world to leave the mark.
The spiritual world is a spiritual world, and there are very few spiritual objects. Most of them are various unknown spiritual bodies in the spiritual world, or evil wills, evil objects, even evil gods, etc.
The spiritual will of an ascended psychic cannot see things when entering the spiritual world, and can only be perceived by will. The spiritual will of a psychic who has not yet ascended will not be much stronger even if it is amplified by the spiritual tower. Discuss Ability is limited at this time.
If there are evil beings in the psionic world disguised as psionic substance, and the psyker leaves his spiritual imprint on it, the consequences can be imagined.
Those evil beings can enter the minds of psychics in the physical universe through this connection at any time, devour your soul on the spot, and take away your body.
Some smart evil beings will even control you to enter a bustling metropolis. Some want to slowly devour souls in a long stream, and some will harvest all the millions of souls around you in one wave, thus causing a terrible disaster.
Players cannot be resurrected if they are directly devoured like this. Once they die, they will be gone.
Psykers are the most powerful ascension, but also the riskiest ascension
Well, that was then, and now psykers are happy.
As long as you use the psychic tower, be well prepared, and be careful, it is not difficult to achieve psychic ascension.
It's not like when humans first entered the new universe. At that time, the human predecessors didn't have any psychic towers. They all entered the subspace on their own to explore. At that time, the success rate of psychic ascension was pitifully low, not even 1%. .
Li Qing remembered that there was a psychic tower in Jinmen, which was not unique to the Yu family. It was sponsored by the Human United Empire Psyker Association and was exclusively for the use of psykers here.
It is said that this thing is very troublesome to build and requires the care of several very powerful psykers all year round. The entire human empire seems to have less than ten.
Li Qing planned to return to Jinmen after solving this base. It would be better to delay.
The standard for psychic ascension is one thousand units of psychic strength, but it does not mean that it must be this standard to ascend. The stronger the power, the higher the success rate. It is just that it is not easy for most psychics to accumulate one thousand units of psychic strength. It is difficult to ascend without ascending. Slowly accumulate thousands of spiritual power.
The cosmic passage in the palm of the hand must be kept open when transporting supplies. Li Qingde stayed here and could not leave. He had nothing to do. He simply sent his men back to the base to transport some repair materials, and then entered the dock in the high-dimensional fortress to try to repair it. The batch of tattered warships left by Li Linyu.
Warship modification requires a very high maintenance skill level, which is just the right time to brush up on skill experience.
In the dock, in front of a frigate, Li Qing did not need any tools, nor did he need to rely on the power of the universe in his palm. He just flew directly out of thin air with the power of his spiritual energy. A large number of mechanical arms around him stretched out and inserted into the frigate. Take out some components that were shattered by the psychic storm one by one.
The precision structures and parts in most of the accessories have been shattered and cannot be used. He needs to dismantle them one by one, repair or replace them, and then reinstall them.
However, as the accessories were taken out one by one, he couldn't help but shake his head after observing them one by one.
Many accessories are broken beyond repair. Even if some can be repaired, their durability and effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and they are also prone to failure.
If it were other players, they would definitely replace them all. Li Qing did not expect these gadgets to be repaired and reused. He just wanted to repair them and accumulate skills and experience, and then replace them all with new ones when he returns to Jinmen.
With this idea, the operation was very casual. With a finger, powerful spiritual energy restrained a small fifth-generation laser cannon and flew over.
"Bang!"
The already cracked and unstable turret cracked due to the pressure generated by the instability of his psychic powers.
"Oh!"
It's completely beyond repair.
Somewhat speechless, he waved his hand, and a huge mechanical arm flew over and took out another turret.
It's still not possible to do delicate work with unstable psychic abilities.
First, use the shipyard's own scanner to scan the inside and outside of the turret to find all the damage. Even the tiny cracks inside the alloy parts can be scanned. Then the repair method will be determined based on the condition and extent of the damage.
The shipyard in this high-dimensional fortress has very high-end configurations. If it is an outside shipyard, maintenance workers need to find the damaged location based on experience. The scanner can scan the outer layer of the parts and the inside of the gaps, but if there is any damage inside the parts and structural metal Small cracks are generally difficult to detect.
This method of maintenance and shipbuilding is actually not high-end. The best shipbuilding method is 3D printing, which directly prints the ship in one piece.
However, there are two problems with the 3D printing method. One is that the cost is too high. Both the printing materials and the repair materials are specially made, and the cost is quite high.
In addition, because the 3D printed warship is formed in one piece, once a problem occurs, it will be very troublesome to repair, even if it is just a seam. But because it is formed in one piece, it is not just this seam that needs to be repaired, and it must be repaired by the corresponding shipyard. Although the current construction method is relatively rough, as long as there are maintenance workers and materials, it can be repaired immediately on site, and minor problems do not even need to be returned to the shipyard.
The demand for the number of ships in the pioneering era was too high. With such a huge scale, it was naturally better to be simpler and more direct.
Shipbuilding and repairs, time passed by unconsciously.
Although repairing and shipbuilding is both dirty and fun, when I see my skills and experience continue to improve and a steady stream of knowledge fills my mind, I feel a sense of satisfaction that is beyond words.
If you want to achieve something in any industry, you must be very passionate about this industry. To put it bluntly, you don't reject it, and you won't get bored even if you do this kind of repetitive work for a long time.
Li Qing didn't know whether he loved it or not. Anyway, he didn't reject it, but he couldn't say he loved it very much.
He can endure it and stay in the high-dimensional fortress shipyard array in the universe in his hand for several months. Strictly speaking, this is definitely because he loves this industry very much, but he is not the kind of love that others say, but he is not bored at the same time. , be able to endure and keep working without rejection.
It feels like whenever he enters a working state, he is entering a rational state. At this time, he has no emotions of love and boredom. He only has a predetermined goal in his heart. As long as the goal is not completed, he can continue to work.
This situation is very strange. Li Qing had not noticed it before, thinking that he really loved this industry. It was not until this time that he had nothing to do and had nothing to do until the underground base was moved, and he spent most of the past six months in the dock. This.
He couldn't explain the reason for this situation. He had never seen or heard of such a state.
The only similarity is the mechanical ascension's absolute programming ability.
I heard that all mechanical ascensioners will have a general ability called the Absolute Program. All mechanical ascensioners can activate this ability and set an absolute goal for themselves, and then all their subsequent actions and thinking will end with this absolute goal. Move forward.
But the ability of the absolute program cannot be interrupted when executed, and its goal can be interrupted at any time. This is
"It's amazing!"
This star field is very remote. Li Qing has been squatting here for almost five months. He has not seen a second player come over. Instead, he has received a team message sent by the team channel. Judging from the delay, it should be twelve days ago. It was sent to everyone in the team, but due to the distance from the team headquarters and the influence of the nebula, it was not received until twelve days later.
The message is simple, asking team members to rush back to base three months after the date the message is sent to participate in a large team event if they are free. (End of chapter)
