Chapter 85 The secret of mechanical ascension
If you need it, you should start building your own scientific research base early. If you don't need it, others won't take it no matter how cheap you are.
The vast majority of players have never thought about becoming a military leader. It is too far away from them. If they need something, they can just buy the finished product. Why bother to go through such a thankless process?
Without a large number of top scientists, it would be impossible to research anything.
The average player has no idea how rare top scientists are. It can only be said that they are rarer than imagined.
Li Qing contacted the seller directly, only to find that the seller was a business executive from the Holy Judgment Legion. He immediately understood that this was not a senior pioneer who gave up developing and dismantling the base for sale, but a trophy obtained by the Holy Judgment Legion after defeating an opponent.
Regular legions like the Holy Judgment Legion have their own scientific research bases for a long time. Naturally, this set of bases cannot be used and can only be sold.
After all, if you want to use it, you have to have a scientific research team, which is very expensive, and even senior legions cannot get a few.
Simple bargaining - they offered 120 billion star yuan, he tried to counteroffer 110 billion star yuan, and the other party immediately agreed, which made Li Qing say "Oh shit."
The dismantled scientific research base was in a warehouse near Jinmen. As soon as the transaction was completed, it was transported to the location he designated in less than an hour, on the orbit of a satellite that had been flattened for storage.
Hundreds of very large trailer containers were placed directly on the orbit of the satellite, and then the palm universe was opened. A large industrial ship flew out and dragged all these trailer containers strung together into the palm universe.
Next comes the busy disassembly and installation. A large number of robots take out the goods from the container, and then they are directly sucked into the warehouse area by the traction equipment in the warehouse area. They appear directly on the tenth floor of the warehouse area and can be placed in any area they want.
The next step is installation. The seller comes with a complete installation drawing of the scientific research base. You can install it according to the drawing, or you can change the installation location according to the situation.
Anyway, the scientific research base is composed of experimental areas of different sizes, and there is no fixed location.
Of course, they still need to be divided into categories. Engineering-related laboratories are placed in one area, physics-related laboratories are placed in another area, and sociobiology-related laboratories are placed in another area. The overall shape is triangular, with the comprehensive area in the center.
Li Qing ignored the specific placement and let the chief scientists decide how to place it. They were the ones to use it anyway.
After cleaning up, he returned to Jinmen Star Castle and once again opened the talent network in the trading network, preparing to recruit a group of scientists and apprentices.
It turns out that there are only three small laboratories in the palm universe, and the total number of scientists and apprentices is less than 100. Now that this giant comprehensive laboratory has been built, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and a group of people need to be recruited.
Through Yu Yuefei's relationship, he saw famous scientists for recruitment in the talent market for the first time, and he felt like crying.
However, he did not choose to recruit blue-name scientists. First of all, there are not many in number and the salary is very expensive. Recruiting these people is not as good as recruiting a group of whiteboard scientists. Anyway, with the bonus of his awakened Star Son talent, the whiteboard scientists can work under him. The efficiency is even higher than that of ordinary blue names.
The most important thing is that in the future, he will continue to enlighten the servants of light, whether they have white names, green names or blue names. After becoming a servant of light, he will become a golden super scientist. At this time, the initial template will be the same, white name, green name. The little difference in names won't make any difference.
Scientific research-type servants of light have an innate skill called - Mind Matrix Subbody.
The effect of this skill is very simple. When there are more than two scientific research-type servants of light, their mental consciousness can be connected to form a thinking world called the mental matrix. All scientific research-type servants of light can connect their thinking consciousness to this mind. Matrix, share your thinking with everyone.
In the case of shared thinking, their knowledge and memory will be shared, and even the thinking and calculation capabilities of the brain can be shared, and they can join forces to study a certain topic together.
This ability is very powerful, and as more servants of light are connected and countless thoughts resonate together, this ability will become stronger.
Even if there is a subject of the mental matrix here, who can actively control this thinking world, use the power of the mind to simulate anything in it, and simulate any experiment in the thinking world, then there will be no need for the constraints of the so-called laboratory.
It's a pity that Li Qing chose domination when he awakened the Son of the Star. If he chose wisdom, he would gain the ability of the mind matrix subject.
But the problem is not big. As the universe in the palm of your hand is further repaired in the future and the Son of the Stars awakens again, he will still be able to gain the authority of the mind matrix subject again, thus possessing endless wisdom.
300 white scientists, 100 each in the three major systems of engineering, physics, and sociobiology, have a monthly salary of 800,000 yuan, and a total monthly salary of 300 people is 240 million.
In addition, a total of 30,000 scientific research apprentices, also commonly known as scientific research dogs, have been recruited. They are responsible for the maintenance of various large and small laboratories and other related scientific research hard work. Scientific research is related to physical and mental work. This clone cannot do anything. Only natural persons can be qualified.
The monthly salary of a scientific research dog is 50,000 yuan, which is higher than most basic occupations. 30,000 people have a monthly salary of 1.5 billion.
"Good guy!"
Including other salaries, the total monthly salary expenditure is close to 2 billion yuan, which is a salary expenditure of 24 billion star dollars a year.
This requires poor earning power, and without continuous income transfusion, it will go bankrupt in a minute.
After the recruitment was completed, a civilian ship was rented to transport all these scientists and apprentices to the galaxy next to Jinmen. Then they turned off external communications and entered the palm universe, directly entering the experimental area on the tenth floor of the warehouse area. They did not know their location at the beginning. .
A large number of manpower was in place, and the six Servant of Light super scientists finally had enough manpower to start researching the subject.
Then he took a look at the aircraft carrier area on the fifth floor of the warehouse area that was being renovated.
Although the efficiency is extremely high due to the talent bonus of the Awakened Star Child, the area is too large and the amount of work is too high, so it has not been completed yet.
Li Qing came out of the palm universe and returned to Jinmen. He originally wanted to buy something, but considering that there was no response from the family, he could only continue to wait.
“I don’t know how many development funds I can apply for this time.”
According to the news he got from his second uncle Li Lun, Li has now received nearly half of the 50 trillion development fund prepared this time. Among them, the person who has received the largest amount of personal development funds is a man named Li Xingyu who has purple epic innate talent. The clan brother, based on his personal strength and current trump card, comprehensively calculated the current strength and future potential, and obtained a total of 44 billion star yuan in personal development funds and a total of 50 billion star yuan in team development funds.
Li Qing thinks that he is much stronger than that clan brother. It's hard to say how much, but he should be higher than that clan brother.
It is worth mentioning that this clan brother is not from the same batch as Li Qing, but from the previous batch of pioneers, two batches earlier than Li Qing. He has pioneered for about six or seven years more than him, and now his overall strength is stronger than him.
However, this clan brother did not develop in the Zutar star field, but in the Faust star field, the fifth star field in the northern hinterland of the United Human Empire, which is the junction of the United Human Empire and the Bruwan United Civilization, and is also the junction of two civilizations. In the chaotic battlefield of thousands of years of fighting, that clan brother developed there.
Originally, this development fund was only open to the tribesmen who were developing the Zutar Star Region. However, many tribesmen from other places had objections. In addition, it was later discovered that the development fund could not be used up, so tribesmen from other places were allowed to apply more than half a year ago. .
With nothing to do for the time being, Li Qing plunged into the universe in his palm and continued building ships.
Now he did not start building frigates, but started building destroyers. This experience is several times higher than that of frigates.
Although the manufacturing difficulty of destroyers is several times higher than that of frigates, for Li Qing, who has mastered many skills in building destroyers, it is no different from manufacturing frigates.
After staying in the dock for twenty-four days, a batch of ten destroyers were built from scratch and equipped with a set of standard weapons and equipment. Li Qing's many manufacturing skills were improved by one level.
Nearly a hundred times the experience, manufacturing a batch of ten destroyers is equivalent to manufacturing a hundred batches of a thousand destroyers. The experience is simply overwhelming.
At this rate, if we do nothing and just stay in the dock, it will probably take less than two or three years to build a battleship.
For other professional shipbuilders, it is basically impossible to reach the point of building battleships without more than fifty years of experience.
And this is despite having purple shipbuilding-related talents and various skill accelerations. In other words, most of the engineers who can build battleships are big guys with purple innate talents. They themselves have very powerful talents, and with the purple name Only with the experience bonus can he reach this point at this age.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a white shipbuilding engineer to improve his shipbuilding skills to that level in his lifetime.
Therefore, any shipbuilding chief engineer who can build battleships is basically a purple name. Their number is extremely rare and there is no way to recruit them, even as Yu Yuefei.
When any profession reaches its peak, your status will become transcendent. At this time, others are not recruiting you, they are choosing you, and you cannot force it.
Except, of course, for prisoners.
So after learning about this situation, Li Qing looked at the famous purple biologist from the Shatta Civilization captured in the palm of the universe and fell into deep thought.
This is a member of a species that evolved from spiders from one of the eight tribes of the Shatta Civilization. It looks like a human-headed spider with a human upper body and a spider lower body. However, this scientist seems to be taking the route of mechanical ascension. , the body has already undergone in-depth mechanical transformation.
The bloated lower abdomen was removed and replaced with an all-metal mechanical abdomen, with eight flexible mechanical legs extending out. The feet can be freely changed into spikes, arms and legs, or hooks and suckers, etc., allowing it to flexibly pass through any environment.
There is no clothing on the surface of the body, replaced by a thick layer of armor. There are eight mechanical arms like octopus tentacles behind the arms, which can be flexibly transformed into various tools.
The eyes have also been modified. In addition to emitting various light beams, they can also be transformed into microscopes, fluoroscopy, analysis and other related instruments to assist experiments at any time.
To be honest, this thing's body has been completely mechanically transformed now, only the brain has not been completely transformed.
According to the standards of mechanical ascension, as long as the biological brain is replaced with a mechanical brain, and then one's own consciousness is uploaded, it will be a complete mechanical ascension.
As for the scientist of the Sand Tower Civilization, his whole body has been transformed to this point and he has not yet ascended mechanically. There is only one truth, and that is that the consciousness uploading technology has not been perfected and there are still risks, so he has not ascended.
After all, it is only a third-level civilization. Although there is no necessary relationship between mechanical ascension technology and civilization level. Some second-level civilizations with crooked technology trees can achieve mechanical ascension. However, it is obvious that the mechanical ascension technology of the Shatta Civilization has not been completed yet, so it is still There is no complete mechanical ascension technology.
Human civilization does have complete mechanical ascension technology, but within the United Empire of Man, active mechanical ascension is prohibited.
Even if a limb is disabled due to war, there is still genetic repair technology to reshape the body. Under normal circumstances, mechanical ascension is prohibited.
The main reason is that after mechanical ascension, there is no physical form to distinguish species, and each mechanical ascension person creates a different mechanical body for himself. In addition, living habits and human beings have undergone earth-shaking changes. Over time, these mechanical ascension The person will slowly forget his or her human identity and form a new ideology.
Think about it, if a person changes from a carbon-based biological human to a robot, all the original human hobbies will disappear.
I used to be able to taste thousands of delicacies and snacks in the world, but now I can only eat batteries.
It used to be that there were billions of tactile sensations, and I could hold a fragrant and soft woman and do embarrassing things. Now I am a cold mechanical body, and I can only simulate all this in the virtual world.
But the simulation is fake after all. No matter how real or addicted it is, there will always be a day when you wake up.
Over time, mechanical ascendants who have no resemblance to humans can easily develop some dangerous ideas.
In the short history of the United Empire of Mankind, which lasted only ten thousand years, it was not that there was no time for large-scale mechanical ascension. That was more than two thousand years after mankind came to the new universe. At that time, the United Empire of Mankind was just established and faced with the spread of the The Luwan United Civilization was strong, and they needed more powerful power, so the simplest mechanical ascension among the three major ascensions caught the eyes of mankind at that time.
At that time, I don’t know how many human players joined the mechanical ascension team in order to gain greater strength. At its peak, a star sea lord joined the mechanical ascension path and went through three stages of mechanical ascension in a row.
During the third stage of mechanical ascension, the star sea lord completely transformed a super battle star that was as big as a planet and had a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, and then moved the core of his consciousness into the mobile battle star, thereby realizing the power of his own will. Control this planet-like war fortress and treat it as your own body.
The combat power of the super war fortress controlled by personal consciousness is extremely terrifying. With the powerful combat power of this super mobile battle star, it integrates countless mechanical ascenders under its command, and is stern and irresistible on the battlefield of the joint civilization of humans and Bruwan. Forcibly knocking the Bruwan United Civilization out of the fifth star field. (End of chapter)
