Planet Builder

He Xingzhou also announced a detailed interstellar infrastructure plan, which is divided into blue star development; solar system logistics system; solar system communication system; and outer space development plan.

To this end, the Blue Star Alliance has established an interstellar construction department, which is specially responsible for the interstellar construction plan, with He Xingzhou himself as the main person in charge.

Other departments cooperate with the Interstellar Construction Department for resource allocation, technology research and development, industrial production, engineering construction, etc.

There are many things going on here, and all commanders have to get involved.

At the same time, they also selected a resident representative of the virtual universe, Wen Heng.

He himself is an expert in space science and technology. He used the pseudonym "Zu Chongzhi" to hide in the Noah Science Society for many years. He has a high ability in science, communication and information exploration, so he was selected as the ambassador of the Blue Star civilization.

In front of He Xingzhou, the scientist who was over fifty was sitting upright, his skin young and full of luster.

Wen Heng has also undergone the first stage of genetic modification. His life span has been as long as five hundred years, his body metabolism is faster, and his cells are full of vitality, so he has regained his youthful appearance.

"Commander He, I'm full of energy now!" Wen Heng said excitedly, "Since returning to youth, I feel like I'm back when I was a teenager, and I have endless energy every day!"

"I have been in outer space since I was a child, and I am full of curiosity about alien civilizations. This time the alliance trusts me and lets me serve as the resident representative of Bluestar civilization in the virtual universe. I will definitely live up to my mission!"

He Xingzhou praised: "I trust your ability."

"I still have a few points to tell you."

"You said it!" He listened carefully.

"Be wary of any civilization and don't reveal our information."

"Collect intelligence on other civilizations, including but not limited to their technological information, location information, civilization forms, etc."

"The most important thing is to find civilizations near the solar system. Especially for the Pleiades, find out their members, strengths and coordinates."

"I understand!" Wen Heng nodded solemnly, his work is also related to the future of Blue Star Civilization.

...

When He Xingzhou set up the task, in a private conference room somewhere in the universe, the members of the Black Sea Civilization were discussing matters.

The layout of this conference room is like a deep-sea altar. Around the altar, there are carved dragon pillars, and on the pillars are seats inlaid with precious gems.

The heights of the pillars are different, the one headed is the highest, and an old male mermaid sits on it. He is dressed in black scales and holds a small red jade coral staff in his hand.

Its look is majestic, not angry but majestic!

He is the Great Elder of the Civilization Council of the Black Sea Civilization, White Armor.

Each civilization has a different way of governing, ranging from absolute rule like the mastermind of a silicon-based civilization, to a liberal voting system, to a hereditary imperial system that controls genetic and technological authority, and so on.

As long as the leader of the civilization doesn't enslave other members, for most people in the civilization, they don't care what the ruler does.

Most civilizations require rulers, and as long as the civilization's laws and institutions are appropriate for that civilization, it is appropriate.

It doesn't matter if this ruler is called emperor, leader, or speaker, anyway, their power and function are the same.

In addition to the Great Elder, there are also five carved dragon pillars, sitting five mermaids, four men and one woman, all dressed gorgeously.

On one of the shortest pillars, sat a young female mermaid. She has a white jade fish tail, crystal eyes and long silky silver hair.

If He Xingzhou was at the scene, he would definitely recognize that this female mermaid was Bai Ningxiang.

"The civilization meeting of the Black Sea Civilization starts now." After Bai Jia finished speaking, his eyes swept across the crowd and stayed on Bai Ningxiang for a few seconds before retracting.

"Let everyone gather today, just for one thing!" Bai Jia said, "Everyone already knows the situation of our Black Sea civilization."

"Because of the failure of the war, our civilization is rapidly declining! And our enemies are still chasing after them!"

"If this continues, within a thousand years, our civilization will be in danger of collapse!"

When it comes to this matter, everyone is solemn. Their Black Sea civilization was once a civilization above the third level, but because of the failure of the war with other civilizations, the civilization declined and its strength greatly decreased.

Because of the decline of civilization, there are also huge internal problems, internal and external troubles, and civilization is in danger of collapse!

Bai Jia continued: "Many years ago, we agreed to support several affiliated civilizations as the last guarantee of our civilization!"

Just as Subaru would guess, the main civilization has been locked by the enemy and cannot escape. That's why they developed subsidiary civilizations in territories far away from the main civilization. Once the main civilization was killed, there was still a place to flee.

"Each elder has a corresponding task. The sea beast civilization supported by the white sand elder; the murloc civilization supported by the blue shark elder; the conch civilization supported by the blue dragon elder; the sea monster civilization supported by the red scale elder."

Speaking of these four, everyone looked at Bai Ningguang, and Bai Jia said: "And Elder Bai Bing went to the blue star of the solar system to find the seeds of civilization we once left behind, the Atlantis civilization."

"As a result, she found out that the Atlantis civilization had already been destroyed. She died on Blue Star because of an accident, and her daughter Bai Ningxiang continued to carry out her mission."

"Now everyone will report on their progress."

The second elder, the elder Baisha, is a strong mermaid and one of the most powerful military powers in the Black Sea civilization.

He said loudly: "The sea beast civilization I supported has now become a 1.8-level civilization, and within two hundred years, there is a chance to be promoted to a second-level civilization."

"The sea beast civilization has strong military strength, and its territory is located in a young star system in the Orion Arm. It is rich in resources and can become a substitute for our main civilization!"

The third elder, Lan Shark, then said: "The murloc civilization I support is the most suitable for us! The murloc civilization was originally a civilization that branched off from our Black Sea civilization. Now it is a level 1.7 civilization and lives on an ocean planet. They The civilization habits and way of life are exactly the same as ours. If we encounter danger, we can go to the murloc civilization to take refuge!"

Fourth Elder Lan Long said: "Conch civilization is weaker than the civilization of the two elders. It is only a level 1.6 civilization. However, the location of Conch civilization is remote and there is no civilization around, so it is more suitable for development!"

The fifth elder, Hongscale, spoke next: "The Kraken civilization I support is also a level 1.7 civilization. The Kraken is a race that we have undergone genetic modification, and its intelligence advantage is obvious! In just three hundred years, it has grown from level 0.6. The civilization has been upgraded to a level 1.6 civilization!"

There is a strong sense of competition in their voices. Because supporting the subsidiary civilization and continuing the strength of the main civilization is the most important thing for the Black Sea civilization right now.

Whoever achieves the greatest results will be the next leader of the Black Sea civilization!

When it was Bai Ningxiang's turn, she said, "Our Atlantis civilization formed by a group of immigrants more than 10,000 years ago has long since perished. Now there is another human civilization living on the Blue Star, which I call the Blue Star civilization. "

"Everyone knows that they are facing the Zerg attack. Although the Blue Star civilization is a level 1.0 civilization, they have great potential. They may become our allies in the future!"

After Bai Ningxiang said this, several elders laughed.

"Level 1.0 civilization was invaded by the Zerg, this civilization can be given up! They can't be the opponents of the Zerg!" Second Elder Bai Sha said while questioning Bai Ningxiang, "I don't think there is any need to allocate resources to you, these resources are divided into Better for us."

The third elder Lan Shao usually fights with Bai Sha, but this time he agreed with Bai Sha and said, "I heard that you have invested a lot of resources in them, isn't it a waste?"

"Now our civilization is already lacking in resources, and we really shouldn't continue to waste time on the Blue Star civilization, let them fend for themselves!" said the fourth elder, Lan Long.

"Bai Ningxiang, you can come back. Blue Star Civilization, we don't need to put our energy into it!" said the fifth elder, Hongscale.

In front of these elders, Bai Ningxiang had no right to speak. The main reason why she can become a member of the Council of Civilization is because she inherited the business of her mother Bai Bing, so the Council of Civilization allows her to continue to carry out this matter.

Hearing their words, Bai Ningxiang was unconvinced and said, "Blue Star Civilization has successfully expelled the Zerg from Blue Star and killed a primary planetary overlord! They have great potential and develop better!"

Bai Sha shook his head and said, "It must be your help that they can kill the planetary overlord?"

"Not long ago, you bought precious items with Cosmic Coins and sent them to the Blue Star Civilization. Did you buy weapons for them?"

"It's not a weapon, it's just a subspace communicator!" Bai Ningxiang defended.

Several elders looked disbelieving and said: "With the strength of the 1.0-level civilization, it is definitely not an opponent of the Zerg!"

The blue shark said: "Even if they can clean up the Zerg on one planet, they can't deal with the Zerg on other planets in the star system!"

"This civilization is doomed, don't waste our resources and energy!"

Bai Ningxiang held her breath in her heart, she looked at the first elder, and the first elder Bai Jia thought for a while and said, "The elders are right."

"Our resources are limited now and must not be wasted. Since this Blue Star civilization is doomed to perish, we should take back the investment in the Blue Star civilization and distribute it to other civilizations."

Bai Ningxiang knew that once this decision was made, all her and her mother's efforts would be in vain. Soon, she will be removed from the Council of Civilizations.

The interior of civilization is very chaotic now. Once she loses this identity, she and her relatives and friends may be in danger!

The most important thing is that Bai Ningxiang firmly believes that the Blue Star civilization has great potential!

She argued hard and said, "Elders, I think you need to re-examine the Blue Star civilization!"

"They not only have the ability to clean up the Zerg in the star system, but also have the potential to become a second, third, and even more advanced civilization!"

"As long as we give them some help, we will have a powerful ally in the future!"

"Bai Ningxiang!" Second Elder Bai Sha shouted, "Don't make a mistake, we only need affiliated civilizations, alien colonies, no allies!"

The third elder, Lan Shark, even smiled and said, "Have you been brainwashed by the indigenous civilization? What qualifications does an indigenous civilization have to be our ally!"

"Yes, a ruined civilization doesn't need allies!" Bai Ningxiang's aura was not false to them, if she showed weakness, it would be impossible to sit here now.

"Be careful!" Great Elder Bai Jia shouted.

Only then did Bai Ningxiang say, "Elders, I'm not acting on my will! I know very well that this matter affects the survival of our Black Sea civilization!"

"So I conducted a detailed investigation of the Blue Star Civilization, which took fifteen years!"

"In the early days, this civilization did not show anything special. It was a 0.7-level civilization. When the Zerg invaded, I almost gave up on them. I thought the same as you at the time, thinking that they must perish!"

"But in just a few years, my thinking has completely changed. Although this civilization suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Zerg, their technology has progressed very fast! It surpassed the most brilliant technological explosion of our civilization back then! They were only ten years old, From level 0.7 civilization to level 1.0 civilization, and has military strength no less than level 1.5 civilization!"

Bai Ningxiang said this, and the second elder Bai Sha said even more disdainfully: "In such a short period of time, civilization has improved, you must have provided them with scientific and technological information!"

The other elders also thought so, Bai Ningxiang defended: "No! During the whole process, I am only a bystander!"

"At the moment of life and death of the Blue Star civilization, one of the Chinese civilizations burst out with super cohesion, bringing the whole world together and jointly defending against the Zerg."

"It was during this period that their technology advanced by leaps and bounds. There is an important person, He Xingzhou, whose appearance has accelerated the development of the entire civilization countless times!"

Bai Ningxiang said while providing evidence.

Although several elders wanted to kick Bai Ningxiang out of the Civilization Council, they still watched patiently.

Seeing the various materials she showed, several elders were amazed: "His technology research and development has never stopped, and he has never encountered any obstacles! No one helps, we will never believe it!"

"But that's the truth!" Bai Ningxiang said, "I once suspected that this He Xingzhou obtained information from a higher civilization."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier and bring him back for research?" Bai Sha asked.

Bai Ningxiang snorted coldly: "Second elder, are you so stupid? If there is a high-level civilization helping him, and we offend him, wouldn't we offend another high-level civilization! Do you think our civilization is not destroyed fast enough?"

"You!" Bai Sha didn't expect Bai Ningxiang to be so protective of the other party. He was about to rebuke when the first elder Bai Jia said, "Bai Ningxiang is right. If there is an advanced civilization, it is inconvenient for us to intervene."

"Our situation is difficult enough now, and offending other advanced civilizations will only make us more dangerous!"

The third elder Lan Shao said: "Since he has the help of advanced civilization, then we should not care about them. There are advanced civilization and Zerg, we can't go into this muddy water!"

Fifth Elder Hong Scale said: "Elder Lan Shao is right, we can no longer be involved in other advanced civilization matters!"

"This is different!" Bai Ningxiang emphasized, "Advanced civilization didn't help them directly! I don't know what they think, but this civilization is easier to get along with."

"If they really have the strength to become an advanced civilization, they may help us in the future!"

"Everything you said is just your imagination!" Second Elder Bai Sha questioned, "What advanced civilization and what technological explosion are all your guesses."

"What if you help them make technological progress?"

"Yes, things without evidence should not be counted!"

"We can't pin our hopes on guesswork!"

"The resources of civilization are precious and cannot be wasted here!" Other elders objected to Bai Ningxiang.

The first elder thought for a while and asked, "Bai Ningxiang, what the other elders said makes sense. Our resources are very limited, and our civilization is more inclined to develop alien colonies rather than looking for a weak ally."

"You must show stronger evidence to prove that our help to Blue Star Civilization is rewarded. Otherwise, I can only revoke your position and allocate your resources!"

Bai Ningxiang said: "Then give me a period of time with Blue Star Civilization!"

"He Xingzhou has registered as an interstellar builder and participated in the rookie competition. I believe that the Blue Star civilization under his leadership will soon be able to upgrade the civilization level!"

"Interstellar Builder?" Bai Jia frowned slightly. He looked at the other elders. He knew very well that although the other elders were fighting each other, they were unanimous in kicking out Bai Ningxiang.

As the leader of civilization, Bai Jia must not only balance the forces of all aspects, but also consider the future of civilization.

Although the other elders' plans seemed more reliable, they were all choices made after the main civilization perished.

If there is a chance to preserve the main civilization, it may not be a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Bai Jia said, "You gave me an idea."

"Everyone wants to get more resources for the civilization they support, it's better than this."

"All the civilizations you support join the Interstellar Construction Association and participate in the rookie competition! The higher the ranking of the civilization, the more worthy of our support!"

"Our main civilization will give more resource tilts! Including technological assistance, military assistance, etc."

The second elder Bai Sha said: "This is a good way! The sea beast civilization is trying to find a way to break through the second-level civilization. Taking advantage of the opportunity, it can vigorously develop and build!"

The third elder, Lan Shark, also agreed: "The murloc civilization is no worse than other civilizations in terms of construction!"

Since they all said so, the fourth elder Lan Long and the fifth elder Hong scale also agreed.

Bai Ningxiang was overjoyed, her goal was achieved!

As long as there is a chance to compete, she believes that He Xingzhou will not disappoint her!

However, she was still very unconvinced and said, "Blue Star Civilization is only a 1.0-level civilization now, and their civilization level is higher, so it's unfair to participate in this competition!"

Bai Sha smiled and said, "This is a civilized competition, a matter of life and death. How can there be any fairness or unfairness? In the universe, there is no fairness at all!"

Lan Shao said: "Didn't you say that they have the help of higher civilizations? Since they are so powerful, it shouldn't be difficult to surpass these affiliated civilizations, right?"

"Exactly, this plan is very reasonable!" Lan Long said, "Conch civilization is also weaker than other civilizations, I have no opinion, what is your opinion?"

Red Scale said: "The winner deserves more resources to tilt!"

The first elder witnessed and said: "Okay, since everyone has this idea. Then this matter is settled!"

"The inspection time is 100 years! The subsidiary civilization is developing faster, and we will focus on key resources!"

"As for the Blue Star civilization, this civilization is not yet our affiliated civilization, so there is one more condition. Not only does it have to develop the fastest, but also at least enter the top ten of the rookie competition, we will help them!"

Bai Ningxiang's little face was full of grievances and unwillingness. When the other elders saw this, they laughed secretly in their hearts, a little girl, what do you want to fight with them?

The figures of the elders gradually faded, and they have already left the conference hall.

Bai Ningxiang also exited here, her consciousness came to Blue Star and loaded onto the white dolphin.

"He Xingzhou!!!" Bai Ningxiang turned on the communication equipment specially configured for her and called He Xingzhou.

He Xingzhou's holographic projection appeared in front of her, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Ningxiang propped her fins on the water and said proudly, "I just did another big thing!"

"Huh?" He Xingzhou asked curiously, "What's the big deal?"

Bai Ningxiang said a little about the Black Sea Civilization. She did not disclose the information about the Black Sea Civilization. She just said: "In short, if you can get the top ten in the rookie competition and surpass those competitors. Our Black Sea Civilization will give You help!"

He Xingzhou asked: "You Black Sea civilization, do you want us to be a subsidiary civilization?"

"Yeah." Bai Ningxiang didn't deny it, "Those elders all think so, but I don't think it's possible, you definitely won't agree."

"It's really impossible!" He Xingzhou said directly.

"Don't worry about it so much now!" Bai Ningxiang said, "As long as you are strong, they will not have this idea and will only treat you as allies."

"What's in it for us?" This is what He Xingzhou is most concerned about.

Bai Ningxiang said: "Those elders are very stingy, and I have no right to speak in the Civilization Council. What kind of super weapon, I don't need to think about civilization technology."

"The biggest advantage is that we can help you block the expansion of the Subaru Society!"

"Several members of the Subaru Society are too close to the solar system!"

"For example, the Procyon civilization, the coordinates are in the Procyon star system, 11.4 light-years away from the solar system; the Tianyuan civilization, the coordinates are in the Tianyuan four star system, 10.5 light-years away from the solar system; the Sirius civilization, the coordinates are in the Sirius star system, more distant from the solar system. It's only 8.6 light-years away!"

"They all have sub-light speed deep space probes that are more than 90 percent of the speed of light! It is estimated that it will take less than ten years to find the solar system!"

"When they determine your coordinates, can you resist them?"

He Xingzhou shook his head and said, "I'm really not sure, the time is too short!"

In ten years, it is estimated that the Blue Star Civilization has not yet produced a spacecraft with a speed of 50% of light. What's more, they have to face the Zerg, how to deal with the invasion?

"Yeah!" Bai Ningxiang said, "They detected that it would take ten years for you to organize troops and send a fleet to invade the solar system. It would take another twenty or thirty years."

"At this time, no matter how you develop, you will definitely not be able to stop the fleet of Zerg and Pleiades civilization at the same time!"

"If we had the help of our Black Sea civilization, it would be different. We would send fleets to interfere, or use military force to deter them. They would not dare to invade so easily! You can gain precious development time!"

"In addition to these, we also have some confidential information about the Zerg that we can share."

"Sounds good." He Xingzhou said, what they lacked most now was time.

If it has not yet developed, it is invaded by alien civilizations, which is a devastating blow.

"But I have a question." He Xingzhou asked, "This rookie competition, the competition time is 100 years! If you continue to help after 100 years, then we will either perish or no longer need your help! "

Bai Ningxiang rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm eating rice? As long as you can show an advantage in the rookie competition, I can convince the elders in advance and give you some help, so that you can avoid Subaru in a short time. Attack of the Star Society!"

"That's okay!" He Xingzhou said, "If this can really happen, I will remember your kindness on behalf of Blue Star Civilization."

"Hum!" Bai Ningxiang snorted arrogantly and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and get me something to eat?"

"Don't starve my biological machine to death!"

He Xingzhou said speechlessly: "You white dolphin has just eaten, and you have already gained a whole circle of fat!"

"I wasn't here just now!" Bai Ningxiang said as a matter of course, "It wasn't me who ate, I didn't taste it! And it wasn't me who gained weight!"

He Xingzhou had no choice but to say, "I've already informed you, don't let this body die!"

...

He Xingzhou was skeptical about Bai Ningxiang's words. He has no way to judge whether the Black Sea civilization is malicious or kind to human civilization.

If it is true, it is naturally a good thing; if it is false, he will also be on guard.

In short, the task at this stage is to build civilization as soon as possible!

He Xingzhou immediately summoned experts to discuss the construction of a space elevator.

In the past few days, the expert group has used the fastest speed to design a plan for a space elevator.

Chief Engineer Xiao Mao said: "President, we have such an idea now."

"Bluestar's low-Earth orbit height is as long as 36,000 kilometers. If a space elevator for transporting people and materials is to be built, the slenderness ratio of this elevator will reach an order of magnitude of more than 10,000:1."

"If it is designed according to the pressure structure of traditional elevators, no material can bear such pressure, and its own weight can crush itself!"

"So we are going to design a tension mechanism, in low-Earth orbit, to launch a large space station and a large mass counterweight."

"The space station and the counterweight rotate with the blue star, using the centrifugal force of the blue star's rotation to maintain the main structure under tension."

"In this way, in order to make the overall axis of the space elevator point to the center of the earth and keep it vertical, and provide a continuous pulling force for the cable, the ground projection of the space elevator should be located at the equator, so its ground station should also be built on the equator!"

He said, projecting their blueprints with holograms.

In the picture, there is a concept map of a space elevator. It is at the equator and has a ground station on which a tower is built. The tower is connected to 38,000 kilometers of elevator cables, and the elevator car is connected in the middle.

Extending all the way into space, connecting the space station and counterweight.

He Xingzhou looked it over and asked, "Is there any problem now?"

"Yes, there are still some problems." Xiao Mao nodded and said, "The first is the question of location."

"The ground station is built on the equator, and it cannot be arbitrarily selected."

"The climate of the site selection area should meet the annual wind power below two levels, without the accumulation of clouds that may produce thunderstorms such as cumulonimbus, and away from various pressure zones and monsoon circulation."

"The local geological conditions should be relatively stable to avoid the impact of earthquakes."

"Because ten space elevators are to be built at one time, we conducted an investigation on the equator. Only two landmasses are suitable, and the rest are oceans, which need to be reclaimed!"

"Then fill it!" He Xingzhou said directly, "Let the Xuanwu troops help to reclaim the sea and build islands!"

"I'm relieved with the words of the dean!" Xiao Mao said.

"Two more questions!"

"First, the material of the cable! The 36,000-kilometer cable, our current alloys and steels can't withstand such strength! It also has to have good toughness and electrical conductivity."

"The best choice is carbon nanotubes, a new type of material, which is a tubular nanoscale graphite crystal with extremely high strength, theoretically 100 times that of steel! It is also very soft and can be regarded as a kind of "super" Fiber”. Its electromagnetic properties, adsorption capacity and other properties are excellent enough to meet our cable needs.”

"The problem now is that we can only synthesize a small amount in the laboratory at present, and cannot manufacture it on a large scale!"

"Second, we don't have a large space station yet. At the same time as the construction of the space elevator, the space station and counterweight have to be launched into low-Earth orbit!"

"So, I understand. Let's continue!" He Xingzhou already knew it, he communicated with the expert group, and roughly knew the difficulties needed to build a space elevator.

Back in his office, He Xingzhou immediately began to solve these two problems.

"The synthesis and manufacture of carbon nanotubes requires an industrialized production process." He Xingzhou opened the quantum optical brain and found such materials.

"Spend 10 units of energy to unlock the carbon nanotube synthesis process technology."

Another is a large space station.

This is even less of a problem. Humans have mastered the fusion thruster program and reaction force technology, making and launching large space stations a breeze.

Just like what Bai Ningxiang said, Blue Star Civilization actually already has the strength of more than 1.5-level civilization, just because it has been dealing with Zerg on Blue Star, it has not expanded its strength to space for the time being.

"Let the Interstellar Construction Department launch a large space station."

"It's not enough." The large space can only be used as one end point of the space elevator, and a counterweight with a larger mass is also required.

Wouldn't it be a waste to just launch a few large rocks or large iron blocks into low-Earth orbit? Moreover, these massive objects will also be affected by the gravitational force of the blue star and fall into the atmosphere.

He Xingzhou's idea is that since a large-mass counterweight is required, it is better to directly build a large-mass space object!
