Chapter 721 Another Question
"Yes, sir. According to our computer calculations, even if their planetary engines can successfully propel the planet to move, the speed is far slower than that of our space battleships. It will take some time to find their tracks, but with our technological advantages, we will be able to catch up with them sooner or later."
But immediately, the leading humanoid creature realized another problem.
"No...it's not that simple. From the information we have currently obtained, their civilization is developing a little too fast. Even our Proxima Centauri civilization has never seen such a fast development speed."
It seems that the purpose of the Blue Star civilization's desire to escape by riding on the moon is not just to escape.
During this period, the advantage of the faster development speed of Blue Star civilization can further narrow the gap between the two civilizations, or even achieve a surpassing of the other civilization. It is hard to say for sure.
"No... We have to find a way to destroy their planetary engine and not let their idea come true. If they really escape from the target location, it will be very troublesome to track them down. When their civilization level is really close to ours, then even our Proxima civilization will be in crisis."
Even if the Blue Star civilization is really a friendly civilization, once they learn that an alien civilization wants to completely destroy them, they will definitely hate this alien civilization to the core.
Before it has the ability to confront a more powerful civilization, the Blue Star civilization will choose to temporarily avoid war, which is a very wise behavior.
But after the Blue Star civilization really has the ability to confront the Proxima civilization, the Blue Star civilization will undoubtedly do its utmost to destroy the Proxima civilization.
"Sir, with the current level of fusion between our super quantum and the host, it is still difficult to interfere with the host's behavior. If we want to really influence the host's behavior, the fusion level must reach more than 50%."
"Okay, let's wait until the super quantum and the host have a higher degree of integration, and then we will make a decision. Before that, the main thing is to get as much information as possible from the host. Anyway, the construction of the planetary engine will take a long time."
…
Xu You and others rode in the lunar rover and arrived at the planned construction site of the first planetary engine.
Since the planetary engine is a very large object, the area within three kilometers near the center of the location is all occupied by the planetary engine.
After getting off the car, Xu You quickly saw Researcher Robert from the SAM Space Agency.
"Researcher Robert, we meet again."
"Yes, Academician Xu You, I'm glad we meet here again. Regarding the construction of the planetary engine, I think we have made the final preparations. But before everything starts, we still need your review, Academician Xu You."
Xu You and Robert shook hands through the gloves of their space suits, which is also a special etiquette on the moon.
Since there are not only Shenzhou staff here, safety issues still need to be paid special attention.
However, the space suits everyone was wearing had very strong defensive capabilities, and coupled with the multiple safety devices Xu You carried with him, Xu You was not particularly worried that he would suffer any security threats.
Those who can come to the moon have all passed layers of review, and they all have a common goal, so there are no conflicts of interest among them.
Apart from Robert, there were not many foreigners at the scene, because the entire project was still led by the Shenzhou Space Administration. Only some particularly capable foreign experts were invited by the Shenzhou Space Administration to help build the planetary engine better and faster.
Xu You carefully examined all the preparatory work and talked with the surrounding experts from time to time.
"Academician Xu, one of our biggest breakthroughs this time is that we solved the problem of structural strength of super-large buildings. Compared with any building in the history of Blue Planet, the planetary engine is a greater building."
Even a magnificent building like the Great Pyramid of Khufu is just a tiny building compared to the planetary engine.
While listening, Xu You kept asking questions and nodded from time to time.
Xu You is already familiar with the entire process. The reason why Xu You is so cautious in confirming is because he attaches great importance to the entire project.
After some detailed consideration, the project finally passed Xu You's final review and the start time was set.
On the way back, Xu You, Lu Zhiyao, Lin Shi, and Luo Wenkun rode in the Golden Rabbit lunar rover together, chatting about the planetary engine while riding.
"Teacher, I think there are no problems with the design and planning now. The difficulty lies mainly in the construction. The planetary engine is really too large. If we only produce one or a few, the construction period and materials are not a big problem. But if we build thousands of such huge planetary engines, the construction period is unimaginable, and the materials required are also a huge number."
Hearing the question raised by Lin Shi, Xu You answered calmly.
"Indeed, building just one planetary engine like this is a huge project, let alone building thousands of them. I can't tell the exact construction period right now, but the materials are not a big problem."
"Teacher, is material really not a problem? You know, the amount of steel needed to build so many planetary engines is a huge number."
Because planetary engines need to stay in the complex environment of space for a long time, they must have very high strength to avoid being damaged by the harsh environment in space .
For the same reason, the main material used to build planetary engines is steel, and it is top-grade steel with excellent performance.
Even compared to the terrifying weapons and aircraft carriers in the oceans of the Blue Star, the steel required for planetary engines is much better.
"Indeed, according to our plan, even if we use all the steel on Blue Star, it may not be enough to support the construction of so many planetary engines. Not to mention how much time and energy it will take to transport so much steel from Blue Star to the Moon."
At this time, Xu You suddenly changed the subject.
"But in fact, the steel reserves on the moon are very rich, especially this kind of steel, which is the diamond iron ore with the best performance."
