Chapter 2008: Light up the Dream in Your Heart (Forty-Three)
Before the Celestials are ready to go to Doujie, there is another seemingly outrageous but actually reasonable problem to be solved, which is to expand the capacity of the server.
The more than 100 players pulled in by the beta version are all souls from various worlds. The combined capacity may not be as much as a hair of a Celestial. Now that so many members of the Celestials are brought in at once, the capacity of the server must be increased first.
When there were only Lucifer, Owen and Schiller, the company was a complete small workshop. It was enough to have a room for office work, but to hire more employees, at least there must be office space.
But as mentioned before, this Doujie universe was created by Lucifer and Owen out of thin air. In fact, this is not a universe at all. It can only be said to be a special space, which is much simpler than the structure of any single universe in the Marvel Universe.
Such a simple structure makes it impossible to expand the capacity alone, and it cannot become a normal universe even if it is enlarged in proportion.
To make a simple analogy, it is easy to build a house for a hamster with popsicle sticks and white glue, but if this structure is completely enlarged into a human house, there will be many problems in terms of load-bearing, structure, strength, and space allocation.
Then the problem is back again. They need a strong shareholder, an investor with their own capital to cooperate with these employees to update the entire universe structure.
So Schiller did not return to the fighting world immediately, but returned to Disneyland again to study the statue of Walt Disney.
The statues of the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, two of the four major parks, have been lit up, and the remaining ones are Future World and Animal Kingdom.
Among them, the Animal Kingdom is not a complete amusement park. There are many nature reserves in it, some of which even completely reproduce the scenes of Africa, and there are hotels that can interact closely with animals. The area is large and there are many projects.
Future World is biased towards the theme of space and technological development, and is a relatively small park.
Because there is plenty of time, the group no longer gathers together, but goes to different parks for sightseeing according to their own hobbies.
Schiller chose to go to Epcot first because he heard that Disney had started the construction of a miniature Mercury base about two years ago, and also added a shuttle around the park and an exhibition hall for the popular science space transportation system.
In order to develop the local tourism industry, the Orlando city government has already intended to introduce shuttles for tourism, so that residents in the southern region can also experience the benefits of technological development.
These are all things that Schiller's previous Disneyland did not have, so he was very interested and went to Epcot for a visit on the first day after free time.
This place is indeed somewhat different from ordinary Disney amusement parks, especially from the futuristic parks in the Magic Kingdom.
The biggest difference is that the futuristic decorations in the Magic Kingdom are fake when adults see them. There are many metal parts decorations that are only for beauty and have no practical significance, just to satisfy children's imagination of future technology.
But since humans really built the Mercury base, have cleaner energy, and move towards the universe, Disney has obviously made great efforts in the independent park of Epcot, and almost all buildings and decorations have been replaced with real ones.
The moment Schiller walked in, he even wondered if Stark had asked Disney's architects to visit Mercury. If the sun wasn't too far away, he would have really thought he was on Mercury.
There are tall buildings here, one after another, and the exterior of the buildings is covered with a layer of nanocrystals. Although there is no close solar radiation to resist, the nanocrystal coating set up to resist heat and radiation makes the whole city extremely shiny.
The original smaller park has been further expanded and divided into four blocks. The former Future World is just one of the areas. The themes of the remaining three areas are Future Flight, Touching the Sun Journey and World Expo.
These are obviously things that were made in response to the solar system development plan. Future Flight is mainly to display the inter-air transportation system. There are not only models of shuttles and inter-air trains, and stations for shuttles around the park, but also design drawings of large inter-air buses and simple civilian rockets that will be launched in the future. It is a complete indoor venue.
After Schiller visited the Future Flight project, he found that most of them were teaching children the most basic knowledge of air transportation. In addition to being able to ride a real shuttle, the only amusement project was to simulate the experience of riding an air bus to visit famous American attractions in an indoor 3D scene. It was aimed at a relatively low age group and could only be described as entertaining and educational.
However, the Touch the Sun Journey is relatively comprehensive. In addition to two indoor venues, there is also a large outdoor project called Mercury Rescue.
When Schiller arrived, he found that there were crowds of people here again. He found the staff and asked them that since the project was opened, even the super fast channel could not be booked, and the highest queue record could reach eight hours.
This aroused Schiller's curiosity, so he bought a bottle of drink and went to queue up.
This queue lasted for three hours, from morning to noon, and finally got in.
When he first entered, Schiller thought he would see a row of rail cars, because most of Disney's tour projects are like this, either taking a rail car or a boat, and many scenes will be arranged on the way for tourists to visit.
Unexpectedly, the five people who were let in began to change clothes under the guidance of the staff. They had to put on very heavy space suits. After Schiller put the clothes on, he realized that they were genuine, with the Osborne Group's logo printed on the back. Mark it. "Everyone, what you are wearing now is the same protective suit that the first engineers of the solar system development program wore when they first landed on Mercury. It comes from the Osborne Group."
"The company designed protective suits with a special fiber structure in the early stages of the solar system development program, which can greatly reduce the dangers caused by heat and radiation on the surface of Mercury."
After putting on protective clothing, he walked all the way inside until he heard the sound of the gate opening in a dark space. After walking in, as his eyes adjusted to the intense light, Schiller heard the familiar sound of wind.
As soon as I opened my eyes, a huge fireball hung in the sky. It was the sun that mankind longed for.
All the tourists screamed. The pressure of the huge celestial body was too strong. Everyone except Schiller stepped back and pressed against the door.
Schiller looked at the sun hanging in the sky and found that it was really a sun, just a small one. Then he immediately remembered Otto's lifelong pursuit of artificial suns.
It seems that he has succeeded, but only partially. The artificial sun hanging in front of everyone is indeed an artificial sun, but it does not have the heat and radiation that the sun should have. It is more like a large sun-shaped light bulb.
Although it also makes people feel hot and makes everything here very bright and dazzling, it still pales in comparison to the real sun.
This is indeed the case for Schiller. For other ordinary people who have never been close to this star, this is simply a natural disaster. A little girl in her early ten years cried on the spot.
After all, the sun is indeed a big bomb, and the Disney staff kept the secret very well. No one expected to see such a shocking scene as soon as they entered. Who knew whether the thing hanging above the head would suddenly explode?
But at this time, a deep voice came from everyone's protective clothing: "Emergency Repair Department, Emergency Repair Department, I am Hansen from the Mercury Base Monitoring Department. Please go to A21 and B13 immediately for emergency repairs as arranged! Repeat that …”
Schiller lowered his head and looked. Good guy, the communication equipment is also real. It is the same communication equipment they used when they visited the Mercury base before.
The actor who played Chief Hanson was obviously well-trained, and his tone was low and rhythmic. Although he was very nervous, he was also calm, making this group of confused ordinary people unable to help but do as he said.
"Where is the point? Where is the point? This way, there are road signs here, come with me!" A middle-aged man who seemed to have engineering experience waved to several others and said, "It seems we are playing They are emergency repair personnel. Some equipment in the Mercury base is broken now. We have to go there and repair it quickly. Come with me!"
Others in Liushenwuzhu had no choice but to run forward with him, but just halfway through, there was another strong gust of wind. People were blown around and finally ran into the building in front. Everyone was sweating profusely.
Then they began to look for the problem point in the narrow lanes of the Mercury base, and then discovered that the problem at the point starting with A was a leak, and it needed to be re-covered with a special crystal film next to it.
The special crystal film requires three materials to be prepared. One of the materials needs to be refined in the furnace next to it. Five people can just complete a refining, blending and sealing assembly line.
Let's not talk about whether this process is scientific or not. Anyway, the atmosphere in the team is already extremely tense. Although we know it is fake, the thing hanging above our head is really hot.
The situation becomes even more serious when we reach point B, because at point B, the building is extensively damaged and the indoor temperature rises seriously. Several people have to move materials to block it and tighten screws at the same time. In the end, several people have to work together to withstand the blazing heat. The task is completed only when the strong wind pushes the finished board to the damaged area.
By this time, ordinary people were simply exhausted. When they followed the instructions and walked into the nearby hall, the most shocking scene came.
A real spaceship landed in front of them.
Schiller recognized that it was an engineering ship used by the Stark Group to transport equipment to Mercury. In fact, it was not a real spaceship, but at best an intra-galactic aircraft.
But this is enough to shock ordinary people. When this thing landed, it was like Mount Tai pressing on top. After landing in front of everyone, it also looked like a huge and insurmountable mountain.
The smooth surface, exquisite mechanical structure, and engine flames that only appear in science fiction movies instantly wiped away everyone's fatigue, and everyone jumped forward with cheers.
And when the hatch was opened and they discovered that it was really the cabin of a meticulous spaceship, they all fell silent again, immersed in wonder and unable to extricate themselves.
After going through the process, Schiller finally understood why this project cannot be reserved in advance, cannot use the super fast track, and it takes half a day to wait in line, but those people still have to play.
Without further ado, here we go again.
