The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

If you need it, start building your own scientific research base early, if you don't need it, no matter how cheap you are, no one else will take it.

The vast majority of players have never thought of becoming a military leader at all, it is too far away from them, and they can just buy the finished product if they need it, why bother to get this.

Without a large number of top scientists, it is impossible to research anything.

But ordinary players don't understand how rare top scientists are, and it can only be said that it is less than imagined.

Li Qing contacted the seller directly, but found that the seller was a business executive of the Holy Judgment Corps. He immediately understood that this was not some senior pioneer who gave up developing and dismantling the base for sale, but the spoils obtained by the Holy Judgment Corps after defeating an opponent.

Regular legions like the Holy Judgment Legion have long had their own scientific research bases. Naturally, this set of bases cannot be used and can only be sold.

After all, if you want to use it, you have to match a scientific research team, which is not generally expensive, and even senior legions can't get a few.

Simple bargaining—they offered 120 billion yuan, he tried to bargain for 110 billion star yuan, and the other party agreed immediately, which made Li Qing call it shit.

The disassembled scientific research base was in a warehouse near Jinmen. Once the transaction was completed, it was transported to the location he designated within an hour, a satellite orbit that had been flattened for storage.

Hundreds of super-large trailer containers were placed directly on the orbit of the satellite, and then the Palm Universe was opened, and a large industrial ship flew out to drag all these stringed trailer containers into the Palm Universe.

Next is the busy disassembly and installation. A large number of robots take out the goods in the container, and then they are directly sucked into the warehouse area by the traction equipment in the warehouse area, and directly appear on the tenth floor of the warehouse area, where they can be placed in any area they want.

The next step is installation. The seller provided a complete installation drawing of the scientific research base, which can be installed according to the drawing, or the installation location can be changed 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, it still needs 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, and the center is a comprehensive area.

Li Qing didn't care about how to arrange it, and let the chief scientists decide how to arrange it, anyway, they used it.

After packing up, he returned to Jinmen Star Castle, opened the talent network in the trading network again, and prepared to recruit a group of scientists and apprentices.

It turned out that there were only three small laboratories in the palm universe, and the total number of scientists and apprentices was less than one hundred. Now that this giant comprehensive laboratory is built, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and a group needs to be recruited.

Through Yu Yuefei's relationship, he saw blue famous scientists for recruitment in the talent market for the first time, and he felt tearful.

However, he did not choose to recruit blue-named scientists. First of all, the number is small and the salary is very expensive. Recruiting this is better than recruiting a group of whiteboard scientists. Anyway, with the talent bonus of his awakened star child, the whiteboard scientists work under his command. 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 servants of light. Regardless of white board or green name or blue name, after becoming a light servant, he will become a golden super scientist. At this time, the initial template is the same, white name green The little difference in the name will make no difference at that time.

The scientific research-type servant of light has a talent skill called - mental matrix daughter.

The effect of this skill is very simple. When there are more than two scientific servants of light, their minds and consciousness can be connected to form a thinking world called the mental matrix. All scientific research 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 computing power of the brain can be shared, and they will work together to study a certain topic.

This ability is very heroic, and the more servants of light are connected, and countless thoughts resonate together, the stronger this ability will be.

Even if there is a subject of the mental matrix here, who can actively control the thinking world, use the power of the mind to simulate anything in it, and realize any experiment in the thinking world, then there will be no need for the so-called laboratory constraints.

It's a pity that Li Qing chose to rule when he awakened the children of the stars. If he chose wisdom, he would gain the ability of the mind matrix subject.

But it's not a big problem. With the further restoration of the palm universe in the future and the awakening of the Son of the Star, he can still obtain the authority of the main body of the mental matrix again, thus possessing endless wisdom.

300 white-named scientists, 100 in each of the three major systems of engineering, physics, and social biology, with a single monthly salary of 800,000, and a total of 240 million monthly salary for 300.

In addition, a total of 30,000 scientific research apprentices, commonly known as scientific research dogs, have been recruited to be responsible for the hard work of scientific research such as laying hands and maintaining laboratories of all sizes. Scientific research is related to physical and mental work, and this clone cannot Competent, only natural persons.

The monthly salary of scientific research dogs is 50,000, which is higher than most basic occupations. 30,000 people are 1.5 billion monthly salary.

"Good guy!"

Adding in other salaries, the total monthly salary expenditure is close to 2 billion, which is 24 billion star salary expenditure a year.

This depends on poor earning ability, and without continuous income transfusion, it will go bankrupt every minute.

After the recruitment, they rented a civilian ship and sent all these scientists and apprentices to the galaxy next to Jinmen, then closed the external communication and entered the universe in the palm, and directly entered the experimental area on the tenth floor of the warehouse area. They didn't know their location at the beginning .

With a large number of people in place, the six servants of light super scientists finally have enough people to start researching the subject.

Then he went to look at the fifth floor of the warehouse area that was being transformed - the aircraft carrier area.

Although the efficiency is overwhelming under the talent bonus of the awakened Star Child, the area is too large and the amount of work is too high, and this meeting has not yet been completed.

Li Qing came out of the palm universe and returned to Jinmen. He wanted to buy something, but considering that the family hadn't responded yet, he could only continue to wait.

"I don't know how many pioneering 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 he prepared this time. Among them, Li Xingyu, who has received the most personal development funds, is a man named Li Xingyu who has the innate talent of purple epic. Combining his personal strength with his current hole cards, he comprehensively calculated his 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 it should be higher than that clan brother.

It is worth mentioning that this clan brother is not from the same group as Li Qing, but from the previous batch of pioneers, two batches earlier than Li Qing, who pioneered about six or seven years more than him, and now has stronger overall strength than him.

However, this clan brother did not develop in the Zutar Starfield, but in the Faust Starfield, the fifth starfield in the northern hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind, which is the junction of the United Empire of Mankind and the Bruwan United Civilization, and it is also the two civilizations. The chaotic battlefield that has been fought for thousands of years, that clan brother developed there.

Originally, this development fund was only for the tribes who developed the Zutar star field to apply, but then most of the tribes in other places had opinions, and it was later discovered that the development fund could not be used up, so more than half a year ago, tribes from other places were allowed to apply .

Nothing happened for the time being, Li Qing plunged into the universe in his palm again and continued to build the ship.

Now he didn't build a frigate, but started to build a destroyer. This experience was several times higher than that of a frigate.

Although the difficulty of manufacturing a destroyer is several times higher than that of a frigate, for Li Qing who has mastered many skills in building a destroyer, it is no different from manufacturing a frigate.

After staying in the dock for a full 24 days, a batch of ten destroyers were built from scratch, equipped with a set of standard weapons and equipment, and many of Li Qing's manufacturing skills were upgraded by one level.

Nearly a hundred times the experience, manufacturing a batch of ten destroyers is equivalent to obtaining a batch of one thousand destroyers, that experience is simply rushing.

At this speed, if you just stay in the dock without doing anything, it is estimated that the battleship will be built within two or three years.

Switching to other professional shipbuilders, it is basically impossible to reach the point of building battleships without more than 50 years of rich experience.

And this is still with purple shipbuilding-related talents and various accelerated skills, which means that most of the engineers who can build battleships are big guys with purple innate talents. They have very powerful talents themselves. Only with experience bonus can he reach this level 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 chief shipbuilding engineer who can build battleships is basically a purple name, the number is extremely rare, and there is no way to recruit them, even in Yu Yuefei's capacity.

When any profession reaches its peak, its status will become detached. At this time, it is not someone else who recruits you, but they choose you, and there is no way to force it.

Except, of course, captives.

So after understanding the situation in this regard, Li Qing looked at the purple-named biologist from the Shata civilization who was captured in the universe in his palm and fell into deep thought.

This is a member of the spider-evolved species from one of the eight tribes of the Shata Civilization. It looks like a human-headed spider body, with a human body on the upper body and a spider on the lower body. However, this scientist seems to be taking the route of mechanical ascension. , the body has already undergone deep 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 transformed into spikes, arms and feet, or claw suction cups, etc., which can flexibly pass through any environment.

There are no clothes on the surface of the body, but a thick layer of armor instead. There are eight mechanical arms like octopus tentacles behind the arms, which can be flexibly transformed into various tools.

The eyes have also been remodeled. In addition to emitting various light beams, they can also be transformed into microscopes, perspectives, analysis and other related instruments to assist experiments at any time.

To be honest, the body of this thing has been completely mechanically transformed now, the only difference is that the brain has not yet been completely transformed.

According to the standard of mechanical ascension, as long as the biological brain is replaced with a mechanical brain, and then one's own consciousness is uploaded, that is a complete mechanical ascension.

And the scientists of this Shata civilization have transformed their whole body to this point and have not yet mechanically ascended. There is only one truth, that is, the consciousness uploading technology has not been perfected, and there are still risks, so there is no ascension.

After all, it is only a third-level civilization. Although it is said that the mechanical ascension technology has no necessary relationship with the civilization level, and some second-level civilizations with crooked technology trees can achieve mechanical ascension, it is obvious that the mechanical ascension technology of the Sanda civilization has not yet been completed, so it is still There is no complete mechanical ascension technology.

Human civilization has complete mechanical ascension technology, but within the United Empire of Mankind, active mechanical ascension is prohibited.

Even if the body is disabled due to war, there is still genetic repair technology to reshape the body, and mechanical ascension is generally prohibited.

The main reason is that after mechanical ascension, there is no physical form to distinguish species, and each mechanical ascensionist creates a different mechanical body for himself. In addition, life habits and human beings have undergone earth-shaking changes. Over time, these mechanical ascension Those who are human will gradually forget their human identity, thus forming a new ideology.

Think about it, if a person changes from a carbon-based biological human to a robot, all the hobbies of human beings will disappear.

It used to be possible to taste all kinds of delicacies and snacks in the world, but now it can only eat batteries.

It used to be that there were billions of tactile sensations, and you could hug a fragrant and soft woman and do shameful things. Now that you are a cold mechanical body, you can only simulate all these in the virtual world.

But the simulation is fake after all, no matter how real and addicted, there will always be a day when you wake up.

Over time, mechanical ascendants who bear no resemblance to humans are prone to have some dangerous thoughts.

In the short 10,000-year history of the United Empire of Mankind, it is not that there has been a large-scale mechanical ascension. It was more than 2,000 years after mankind came to the new universe. At that time, the United Empire of Mankind was just established. Lu Wan united with the strength of civilization, they needed more powerful power, so the simplest mechanical ascension among the three ascensions came into the eyes of human beings at that time.

At that time, I didn't know how many human players joined the mechanical ascension team for stronger strength. At the peak, there was a star sea lord who joined the mechanical ascension road and went through three stages of mechanical ascension in a row.

During the third period of mechanical ascension, the Star Sea Lord completely transformed a super battle star with a size comparable to a planet and a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers. 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 has unified countless mechanical ascendants under its command, and is irresistible in the battlefield of the joint civilization of human beings and Bruwan. Forcibly knocked the Bruwan United Civilization out of the fifth star field.
