Chapter 158 Ark Project
what to do?
The expression on his face changed, and Li Meng now had doubts about his plan to build a home on land.
If the home he built cannot stop the big guy, and if one day it wakes up and targets the home he built, what should he do at that time?
It would be fine if I could fight off that big guy, but what if I couldn't?
In other words, there is no retreat, we can only win, not lose?
Thinking of this, Li Meng shook his head secretly, with an ugly expression on his face.
When faced with life or death, he doesn't like having no choice.
Land engineering ship No. 1, in the bridge...
Looking back at No. 1 beside him, Li Meng asked: "No. 1, do you think it is feasible to build a home in the basin where Xiping Lake is located? To be honest, although it is a good place there, I will not build a home in the future. On my personal preference.”
Lowering his head slightly, Engineer No. 1 looked at the commander sitting on the command chair and said: "With the commander's current technology, the possibility of defeating the alien beasts is only 20%. It is recommended that the commander be a new human." Likewise, build a movable ark so that you can evacuate safely even if you are unable to defeat an invincible enemy."
ark?
With a thoughtful expression on his face, Li Meng pondered: "I also think there are big problems in establishing a home on land. In the future, returning to land may be inevitable, but it is definitely not now."
Speaking of this, Li Meng had already made a decision in his heart and said: "No. 1, immediately cancel the plan to build a home in the basin where Xiping Lake is located, and change it to the "Ark Plan". Let's go to the sea, where there is enough space for us to build a home." We build the ark.”
"Also, as usual, I leave the design of the Ark to you. Since it is an "Ark", it cannot be too small. I have great ambitions. I have to do my best if I want to do it. I have only one request, one hundred Ten thousand, my Ark can accommodate at least one million people to live in it. This is the minimum limit. There is no upper limit. As long as there are no problems with technology and resources, you can use it freely. "
This is a very important decision, and it is also a decision that makes Li Meng hesitate.
Once this decision is made, all preparations made in the past will have to be abandoned. Li Meng can only be thankful that everything has just begun and it is not too late to give up now.
"By the way, can the two city builders in the basin be taken away?"
Li Meng did not forget the two big guys in the basin.
The Engineering Guard is not very big, and the No. 1 land engineering ship can easily take it away, but the two City Builders cannot be taken away, even if they are dismantled into modules, because some parts of the City Builder are very large, and the No. 1 It simply cannot fit in the warehouse of a land engineering ship.
The movement speed of these two big guys is also very slow. Although Qing'an City is not far from the sea, it is still nearly 500 kilometers away, and the city builders are too big, so they can easily be spotted just walking outside.
Although the new humans have the ability to build mobile cities, if the new humans are allowed to create humanoid machines like city builders, even in a hundred years, they may not have such technology.
Engineer No. 1 replied: "If you want to build the "Ark", it will definitely take a long time. It is recommended that the commander build a temporary settlement in the basin where Xiping Lake is located. It doesn't need to be too big. It only needs to be placed in the shelter." Thousands of people are needed. On the northeastern edge of the basin, a vanadium-titanium magnetite mine was detected. It has a variety of associated minerals, such as cobalt ore, chromium ore, and nickel ore. It is about 30 meters away from the surface and is easy to mine. , the iron content is 54%, the storage capacity is about 1.1 billion tons, the storage capacity of titanium ore is about 90 million tons, and there are several other minerals. The settlement in the basin can be used as a mineral base and an inland stronghold. "
There is a mine underground in the basin?
Li Meng was still extremely surprised by the news, and was still happy in his heart.
Needless to say, iron ore, the iron content of 54% is not low, enough to be called a "rich ore". There is also titanium ore, which is the most scarce resource at the moment. Without titanium ore, the material will be affected. Although the reserve of 90 million tons is not much, it is enough for use in a short period of time.
Without hesitation, Li Meng nodded and said: "Just do as you say. The city builders will stay and build the settlements first. After the settlements are built, we will find a way to arrange them. If it doesn't work, just let them go there." It doesn’t matter if someone finds you on the beach.”
At this time, Engineer No. 1 said again: "If a civilized race wants to survive and develop in the universe, the quality of racial individuals is very important, but the quantity is more important. Whether it is genetic technology or intelligent AI technology, it will make a Civilization has reached a dead end, and the only endpoint is destruction. It is recommended that commanders plan to limit the popularization of intelligent AI and establish a reasonable industrial society as soon as possible so that everyone has something to do and can survive by dedicating their own labor. If commanded The people of the official only live on the commander, living a life of clothing, food and mouth. This is no different from raising livestock, and such humans have no future at all. The commander must establish a good The economic system is fully developed and self-sufficient. If one day the commander can obtain a variety of weapons and equipment without relying on the "forward base", it means that the human race has a future, and the commander is also qualified to become a human being. The supreme existence of this race.”
Li Meng knew what Engineer No. 1 meant by saying this. He couldn't help but want him to use the human race to inherit the technology of ancient humans, instead of just relying on the "Black Flag Empire Advanced Base" to get what he needed.
At a certain scale, the seemingly omnipotent "Black Flag Empire Forward Base" will have certain limits.
If Li Meng wants to use the human race to pass the "Emperor" trial, he must develop the technology of human civilization. Even if he has to start from scratch, he has to do it step by step. Although it is easy to reach the sky in one step, there will be serious sequelae.
There is another meaning in the words of Engineer No. 1, which is to tell him not to be anxious and not to pay too much attention to the "Emperor" trial. The most important thing is to lay the foundation step by step.
In the helmet, Li Meng looked thoughtful and asked Engineer No. 1 beside him: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Engineer No. 1 replied: "After the settlement is built, intelligent AI machines will completely withdraw from the game and gradually become more human-operated. I will design some human-controlled machines as needed, so that the humans in the shelter can also participate in the construction of the Ark. This will allow them to They will have a greater sense of belonging to the Ark and treat the Ark as their own home. This will not only give the commander’s people something to do, but also save about 30% of resources.”
The mechanical structure controlled by humans is much simpler than the autonomous machinery controlled by intelligent AI. Such machinery is cheaper, easier to maintain, and naturally consumes less resources.
Although the words are correct, but...
