Chapter 351 Nano Spider

The name of this white giant star is a long string of numbers in the star map given by the Nair people. After the arrival of humans, they did not change the name, but just called it the white giant star in verbal address, and the only planet in it was called the big white star.

Here, humans have new plans, new tasks, and new goals. In this way, humans destroy the big white star while taking various resources from the big white star for construction and development.

In this way, time quickly came to the twentieth year since humans arrived here. During this period, humans completed the construction and put into use of all five space elevators, and fifty space docks were fully put into use after that. In addition, in ten years, one hundred Lake-class warships equipped with large electromagnetic railguns were newly built.

Of course, the Tianqin also completed the main gun replacement during this period.

According to the previous plan of the Nair people in the first star field, the Nair fleets in the second star field and the first star field should have arrived at the white giant star where humans are, but now there is no shadow at all.

The detectors distributed around the white giant star by humans did not detect any fleet slowing down.

Of course, humans actually didn't know that the Nairs had such a plan, and releasing the detector alert was just a routine operation.

And precisely because they didn't know, the overall performance of the Nairs at that time also made humans feel relatively friendly, so humans didn't consider these factors too much in the construction plan here, and everything went according to plan.

In this stage of the plan, humans plan to stay here for about a hundred years, with a clear purpose. One is the internal development of civilization, mainly to promote scientific research, technology, and cultivate talents, which goes without saying. The second is to improve and add to the creation.

That is the previous shipbuilding plan, that is, the Hundred Years and Thousand Ships Plan. After the completion of the thousand warships, humans will leave here and start space travel again.

As for the purpose of the voyage, at this stage, it is naturally to find a star system with rich rocky planets, and then stop and develop it well, strive to master true nanotechnology, and raise the technological level to the third-level civilization, that is, the pinnacle of aerospace civilization.

Having said that, it does not mean that humans will not conduct research in the field of nanotechnology here on the white giant. On the contrary, as long as the experimental conditions are met, humans have never stopped researching and conducting various experiments in the field of true nanotechnology.

After all, everyone knows that science and technology are the only means for human beings to survive in the universe.

So, human beings have been developing and manufacturing.

A hundred years have passed in a flash, and human beings have successfully completed the shipbuilding plan, but there is still not much progress in true nanotechnology.

However, it is not without any gains. A hundred years of research have also made human scientists understand what the technological barriers of the third-level civilization are.

Scientists believe that as long as humans continue to improve their manufacturing processes and improve manufacturing precision, one day they will be able to break through that boundary and enable humans to truly be able to manufacture various nano products.

Apart from other things, the previous nano repair robots have been continuously improved by humans in recent years, and have been miniaturized, and the repair function has also been initially realized. Although the repair effect cannot be compared with the original armor, it can sew up the warship shell from the hole state again.

Human nano-repair robots can now be made as big as glass marbles, and they have also realized the repair function of some specific objects, such as large objects such as warship hulls, internal pipes, and lining partitions, but the repair function of precision objects such as mechanical structures, circuit lines, and various equipment cannot be realized.

These nano-robots are not all-powerful, but each type of nano-robot corresponds to a certain repair object.

Just like the spherical nano-robots piled up in a nano-robot warehouse on the Lyra, they have only one function, which is to repair the outer armor of the Lyra.

The method used is high-temperature jet welding. The process is that when a large hole appears in the outer armor of the Lyra, these nano-robots the size of glass marbles will extend their eight legs with magnetic adsorption functions from the warehouse according to the program, and then crawl along the way like an ant colony, holding hands and feet, and then self-melting.

After completing self-melting, the metal jet inside it instantly melts its hands and feet, and sprays hot metal flows from the inside out to melt and bond each other. After that, just like large-scale welding, the gap will be filled.

Because this thing has eight legs and a flat body, it looks similar to a spider whether crawling or looking outside, so people named it a nano spider.

It is a full-time nano repair robot.

Because its constituent materials are neither alloy No. 1 nor alloy No. 2, if the Tianqin is really damaged in the battle and is repaired by them, it is only a temporary repair, which is to prevent the warship from losing its combat effectiveness or sinking directly.

However, even so, it has greatly improved the survivability of human warships.

Scientists also want to further reduce the size of the nano spider and adapt more functions, but they have encountered precision problems that cannot be solved by human technology at this stage.

This is understandable. After all, the so-called breakthrough of technical barriers is not a breakthrough from scratch, but a gradual accumulation of technology, a process of improving the precision of various types of machinery, manufacturing precision, and process precision step by step.

If we have to describe it, it is that humans have now knocked a small hole in the technological barrier of the third-level civilization. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole. Scientists believe that as long as they continue to polish this ant hole, they can eventually break down the technological barrier step by step.

Because of this small breakthrough, humans, who originally planned to leave after completing the warship manufacturing, stayed for a few more years. The purpose is obvious. It must be to mass-produce these nano spiders and then store them in various warship warehouses.

However, it was at this time that a detector distributed outside the white giant star galaxy discovered a bright light.

The picture sent back by the detector was quickly identified. Such a bright light was definitely the tail flame of the fleet.

The universe is so vast that even if humans have many detectors outside the star system, they cannot cover everything. Moreover, because this fleet started to slow down when it was very close to the Hengxin system for some reason, when the human detector discovered the light of its tail flame, the fleet had entered the gravitational capture range of the white giant star.

The only planet where the human fleet is located is only fifty astronomical units away.
