Chapter 309: Hope, orange!
There were no other conditions to provide a test environment for the Hope. In terms of system debugging, Sumo made up for it by choosing the extremely cautious triple test.
Cut off all the entertainment systems and only install an autonomous driving system, based on the current host configuration.
In the continuous load test, although the load rate often reaches above 60%, overall the performance line still shows a healthy arc.
Compared with this arc, the concurrency test arc on the other side is also maintained well. When simulating encountering an enemy, the Hope can also make timely course adjustments to avoid obstacles.
As for the most important number of simulated extreme driving errors, it still remains at "0" without any disturbance.
Nodding, after recording all the simulated data changes provided in the test in the notebook, Sumo immediately stopped waiting, turned off the power, and dismantled the entire host.
After more than ten days of busy work, I have been waiting for this moment.
But when it came time to install the console into the storage space and look at the empty computer desk, Sumo still inevitably felt a sense of uneasiness.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is an omnipotent super special soldier, proficient in everything from using firearms to surviving in the wilderness.
But only Somo himself knows.
The first time in his life that he will be driving a ship will be the eighty-meter-long, elegant Hope!
“If I came back to Earth and told people that the first time I sailed a ship in my life was a destroyer, I’m afraid even my dad would think I was bragging!”
Think about Dad Su. The most powerful thing in my life is to touch a tank and a helicopter, and I often brag about it at the dinner table.
As a result, as soon as he got started, he had to drive a destroyer. This wonderful experience made Somo laugh, and his inner uneasiness disappeared a lot.
When we got to the second floor, the cooks had already delivered the meals.
But surprisingly, the fourth child did not choose to go to eat impatiently today, but continued to turn on the light and sit under the light and read the manual written by Sumo.
As he was about to go to sea, not only Sumo felt a sense of urgency.
For Moore and Oreo, the tasks on their shoulders are equally heavy.
I didn’t choose to disturb the fourth primary school’s study, after taking out my own share of the thermos.
Sitting on the dusty dining table, Sumo silently finished his last dinner before going to sea.
In this meal, Sumo didn't eat much, just two cabbage and tofu buns, three ounces of beef, and a bowl of porridge, and he already felt a little bloated in his stomach.
Sumo knew that this was the inevitable result of the rapid peristalsis of the stomach when a person is nervous.
But when he put the thermos basin back to its original place, Sumo's eyes no longer flinched at all, and completely changed into "Go forward bravely" in capital letters!
"What are you afraid of? If it can't be driven today, even if it can be repaired with survival points, I will drive this ship out to sea"
"If I don't have enough survival points, I will risk my life to lure this alien race out. I still don't believe it. A living person can be suffocated to death by a dead thing."
Silently give yourself a few words of encouragement and confirm again and again. After all the things he brought on board for testing were placed in the storage space, he closed the door of the shelter and walked out with long strides.
The sky is round, and the night in the wasteland will come later, but by 6:30 in the evening, the sky is slowly getting dark.
The spotlights that the shipyard would normally turn on at this point no longer emit their own light after completion of manufacturing.
Seeing Sumo coming from a distance, Chen Shen, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came up to him and gave a brief report on the loading status of all supplies.
Among the first batch of supplies that came aboard, there were basically no valuables.
Some of the food, including the cabbage pickled by the cooks in Hope Village these days, will not go bad if exposed to storage in the warehouse.
"Okay, good job. What we want in the village is to enforce laws and prohibitions, and what we want is this kind of efficiency."
Having affirmed the leadership of Chen Shen and the efficiency of the villagers, Su Mo He kept talking and continued:
“Tonight, I have a very important task for you!”
"Brother Su, tell me!"
"Starting from seven o'clock, the entire two-kilometer radius of the Hope will be under martial law. No one can enter this area before receiving my order."< br>
"All militiamen are mobilized. This time is not a drill. What I need is armed martial law!"
Seeing Somo's serious face and hearing words full of murderous intent, Chen Shen But he didn't just take orders and go to work as usual.
On the contrary, his expression changed, as if he had thought of something.
"Brother Su, is it necessary tonight?"
"Yes, tonight is the most important moment for our Hope Village. I don't want anyone to disturb me!"
One When he heard that it was exactly what he thought, Chen Shen, who had been preparing for more than ten days, immediately stopped talking nonsense.
After a standard military salute, Chen Shen took out the pistol from the storage space, moved quickly, and ran towards the village in large strides.
Hope is about to be tested!
This is not only an extremely important thing for Soma, but also a major matter concerning the life and death of hundreds of people in the village.
These days, every villager will not mention this matter when they are working.
But when I go to bed at night, I often think about it all night long.
Everyone, including the management, was afraid that something would happen to the Hope when it entered the sea, causing dozens of days of preparation to be wasted.
Even Chen Shen, even though he had made countless test plans in his mind earlier, still inevitably felt dizzy with excitement when he heard Su Mo's words.
He knows that if the test is successful, the human form will undergo drastic changes in the coming ocean disaster.
He also knew that if Somo could even build a destroyer like this, what great future would there be for following Somo.
"Brother Su must succeed!"
Even if he ran until his chest was about to explode and his whole body was sending out signs of hypoxia, Chen Shen did not stop his pace.
He knew that Sumo would definitely
success!
I don’t know what other people think. After sitting on the bow of the boat and watching the sunset completely set on the horizon, Sumo opened the driver’s door and sat in confidently.
Currently, there is no electricity in the Hope. It needs to be connected to the material conversion engine in order to continuously output power.
Took out a machinist and asked him to turn on the light. After completing the erection and assembly of the main engine in the dark, Somo pressed the three-layer mechanism button that went down to the engine room again.
Yeah.
Wow!
As the iron plate slowly expanded and retracted, after glancing at the main switch and making sure it was closed, Somo climbed up the iron ladder to the engine room with ease.
Currently, the water pumping pipe among the two pipes is temporarily on hold because the ocean has not yet arrived.
If you want the engine to provide energy to activate the ship now, you have to manually add resources to it.
After thinking about it, Sumo first took out a 50L box of diesel and poured it down along the inlet.
Close the feed port and try to click the start button on the material conversion engine.
Sure enough, a panel with the same technology as other modules slowly unfolded from the side of the entire engine. "Compared with the panel of the petroleum well, the panel of the material conversion engine is five times larger, and it is comparable to a 30-inch TV. It's not bad."
In the spirit of "bigness is justice" the whole Concept, when Sumo saw the size of the panel, he was slightly happy.
But after seeing the data displayed above, Sumo's joy immediately turned into deep sadness.
Although 50L of diesel can start this engine to work, it is a pity that it can only be maintained for 1 minute and 20 seconds, and the diesel will be exhausted.
With the current situation of not being able to see how much power it can output, this consumption is simply like a bottomless pit.
If it weren’t for the ability to convert water, just relying on diesel fuel, even if you sell Somo, wouldn’t be enough to get enough resources for a trip to sea.
"It seems that diesel is not burned. How about putting something else in it?"
Close the panel, reopen the feed port, and look at the various items placed in the storage space. Sumo began to try various miscellaneous things one by one.
Iron, one kilogram goes down, 1.8 seconds, pass!
Bronze, 2.2 seconds, pass!
Wood, 0.9 seconds, pass!
Plastic, 1.1 seconds, Pass!
Wheat, 0.3 seconds, Pass!
Water, 0.65 seconds!
I tried more than a dozen things along the way. When measured in units of one kilogram, copper undoubtedly won the championship. One kilogram can burn for 2.2 seconds.
But this little time is just a drop in the bucket.
“Good guy, so I can only run for more than thirty minutes with one thousand units of copper. This is too outrageous.”
Looking at the statistics, Somo shook his head repeatedly and crossed out everything except crossing water.
The energy efficiency conversion ratio of water is 0.65 which is enough!
Based on the fact that the medium-sized water pump installed on the Hope can pump 65 tons per hour, it can pump 1080 kilograms in one minute.
If calculated further, 18kg can be pumped in one second, which can supply the engine with 11.7 seconds of consumption, which is completely sufficient.
Of course, there is still another trump card in Sumo's hands.
Close the panel again and open the feed port this time. Somo did not add any other messy things.
Instead, they took out the most precious resource in the underground shelter.
Plasmic water!
This magical water source rich in psionic energy has more magical functions after the second upgrade.
Even if you don’t have to try it, it’s definitely No. 1!
However, it hurts, and the test still needs to be done.
After trying to pour a liter of psionic water into the feed port and closing the lid, I opened the panel this time, and the numbers on it changed dramatically.
Before adding various materials, the improvement time was calculated in seconds.
But this time, it was very dazzling. In the statistics on the panel, Sumo saw hours!
And the number in front of the hour is not small, a full 1.8!
“One liter of nether energy water can power the engine for 1.8 hours, and only 13 liters per day are needed to supply a day’s consumption”
"Although it is more than one or two points stronger than other materials, the consumption is still not as cost-effective as water!"
Once on the ship, the psionic well in the shelter cannot be taken away, which means that every Every liter used is one less liter.
Soma naturally cannot afford to use this precious strategic resource as fuel. Except in emergencies, water is used for energy 99% of the time.
“However, since the power supply has been available for such a long time, we can start testing directly.”
Click Start on the panel and listen to the material conversion engine gradually starting to run. There was a spiraling sound.
Sumo no longer hesitated and quickly climbed back to the cab on the first floor along the stairs.
It takes three minutes to start the material engine. After three minutes, the entire ship can be fully powered and completely ready for launch.
At that time, Sumo only needs to pull down the main switch to energize the entire ship.
This super destroyer, which has gathered nearly 100,000 resources of all kinds, will completely shine in front of everyone!
One minute
Two minutes.
Sitting in the cab, watching the clock count down, and listening to the spiral sound in the passage getting louder and louder, for some reason, Somo's heart slowly calmed down.
“Ninety thousand iron blocks, thirty thousand copper blocks, the modular furnace produces high-strength steel plates, four machinists work around the clock, and the modular shipyard works around the clock”
“From the beginning, it is I witnessed its birth, and I witnessed its completion!”
“Too much of my hard work has been put into this ship. There is no reason or reason why it will fail”< br>
"Hope, give it to me! Rush!"
Waiting quietly, listening to the spiral sound coming from the engine room finally slowed down, Sumo's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he shot out a burst of confidence. The ultimate light.
The big arm drives the forearm, and the forearm drives the palm. The moment the palm touches the electric switch, with Somo's exertion, the "switch" symbolizing the rebirth of the "Hope" finally falls!
Boom!
It is like thunder on the ground, and like a mountain fire.
At this moment, after the switch fell, it was not the ship that was shaking, but the whole world that was shaking!
In the small depression, it seemed that it was bearing an undue burden.
The scaffolding supporting the entire Hope began to make indescribable creaking sounds, as if it would collapse at any time.
The sunset on the horizon has set, in this dark moonlight.
The Hope seemed to be alive, trembling on the ground!
This scene immediately shocked hundreds of villagers who surrounded the Hope in the dark sky!
The last second, they were holding torches, and their eyes were bright.
They know that tonight.
They can only succeed, not fail!
But the next second, as the earth trembled, they suddenly discovered that the sky that had darkened suddenly became bright again.
They turned around curiously
Then, a scene that all the villagers would never forget was deeply burned into their minds like a soldering iron
The Hope was shining!
Like a giant beast, the Hope crawled on the ground, bursting with deep purple light!
“Look! What is that!”
The deep purple light was not dazzling, but the villagers on the front of the ship were surprised to find...
Where the big flag was erected on the bow of the Hope, some orange light spots were gathering.
Compared with deep purple, orange is very weak, so weak that it seems to disappear at any time.
But the next second, before more villagers could check directly, the orange light seemed to be helped by an arm. In the blink of an eye...
The Hope, turned orange!
