Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

It is precisely because of this that I feel a little unhappy when I fight back:

Originally, in the last cabinet meeting, everyone had decided that when the next time the Uncertain Light split, the new Mental Cube would be invested in the construction of the military field.

But who would have thought that there would be another one like this!

"...commander?"

The counterattack simply teleported directly to Guanghui's office.

Standing next to the virtual window, he looked at Su Wen eagerly.

That means...

We should just stick to what we said, right?

"this..."

Su Wen was speechless for a moment.

But after thinking about it, I still can't bear to give up this "opportunity that may trigger a hidden technology tree".

"The next batch of mental humanoids should be given priority to the scientific research department,"

he said,

"We need to find ways to develop this technology line related to the 'Mind Network'. Our knowledge in this area is still relatively shallow, and there will inevitably be areas that require work, so...it is better to get started sooner rather than later. Well!"

Su Wen said, looking at his counterattack pitifully, and sighed,

"Don't be too anxious. I also attach great importance to military development."

“But, at least for now, we have no enemies that need to be dealt with as soon as possible, and there are no external threats that are visible in the short term.

Therefore, you guys should take on a little more responsibilities. The second batch of newcomers at the latest will definitely be assigned to the Ministry of National Defense to serve as chief officers of the military department.

I also hope to quickly build a new front fleet, but now the empire's external expansion is still mainly based on infrastructure expansion.

Large-scale construction of star bases and so on, just let Akashi be responsible for handling this kind of thing.

The appointment of a new batch of fleet commanders can be delayed a little. "

..

To the mental dolls, the commander's orders are absolute.

Now that Su Wen has made the decision, the empire must implement this designated plan.

Even though I fought back, I still felt like I was being treated as a transparent person and a marginalized person.

But he still stepped aside obediently.

Su Wen wasn't worried about any further emotions she would have...

...No matter how personified the mental doll is, it still has mechanical intelligence after all.

Likewise, there is always more rationality than emotion in their souls.

They will carry out his orders properly.

In a non-emotional way.

not to mention...

To counter this little emotion, I can only call it complaining.

It's good to complain when you're depressed.

Su Wen is not so unenlightened as to tolerate any dissent.

..

Further research into 'mind networks' has been initiated.

Studying how to master this mysterious racial characteristic has become an imperative task for the empire.

But this is the task of the wise helpers on the home front and the main star of the empire.

For Su Wen right now, his mission is to explore the virtual realm.

There is no need for him to worry about things at home all the time when he is away from home.

The computing power bonus transmitted to him through the 'small-scale mental local area network' greatly expanded the scope of Su Wen's self-discipline command within the virtual realm.

...Although 3.5 kilometers is actually still a bitch-like, it can barely be considered as outside visual range control after all.

It can no longer be generalized to the level of children's remote control aircraft.

After all, it is three times more.

And there is fog everywhere in this damn place. It is not really fog formed by water vapor or smoke formed by air dust. It is something similar to something composed of energy colloids and has some properties similar to suspended matter. ..

...Anyway, they block the view.

However, the disadvantage of blocking the line of sight also produced an effect similar to "fog of war" for Su Wen.

Allows his omnic units to be better hidden.

It's hard to tell whether it's a benefit or a drawback by using the 'fog of war' effect in virtual reality.

Su Wen released ten 'Little Fighting Dog' autonomous mechas in one go.

With itself as the center of the circle, the circular radiation spreads out, forming a comprehensive reconnaissance like a dragnet.

The results were somewhat unexpected.

"Dong dong."

Su Wen retracted his focus from the 'self-discipline command network shared vision' at the edge of his vision.

He bent down and tapped the ground under his feet with the butt of his gun.

There was a clear echo.

"...Metal Material?"

"If you look at it combined with the arc discovered by the reconnaissance...is this a spherical surface?"

Su Wen wondered, "Man-made planet?"

Well, this is what he found after some reconnaissance:

——The land shrouded in energy mist under your feet is actually a metal entity covered by a layer of rock shell, and has a certain spherical curvature.

It seems strange that it actually has a double shell.

However, the rock formation is not particularly dense and is most likely composed of sedimentary gray matter.

This makes its identity very clear...

This is a planet with a metal shell, most likely a man-made object.

After all, no matter how strange a naturally formed planet is, it is impossible for it to have such a regular and uniform alloy shell.

And judging from the curvature of the sphere, its volume should not be large.

Just after spreading out a perfect circle with a radius of 3.5 kilometers, an obvious arc surface has been clearly observed, indicating that its volume is really not that big.

"Who was so full that they got such an oversized iron ball and threw it into the virtual realm?"

Su Wen wondered as he walked.

It’s very puzzling!

Artificial planet.

It sounds pretty awesome at first glance.

...But to be honest, it's quite common in the universe.

Strictly speaking, it is not particularly technically difficult to shape a celestial body that is about the same size as the moon or Titan.

Just stacking materials.

It is mainly due to the large amount of work, which is extremely large.

Technical difficulties,

How to place it safely and reliably on the track you want.

At the same time, its gravitational influence must be adjusted.

Otherwise, a new massive gravitational source suddenly appears and interferes with celestial bodies in other orbits in the star system...

...If you get it wrong and your home planet is washed away by a tsunami, it will be great fun.

Also.

It is also necessary to utilize it in a targeted manner and develop some stable output capabilities...

The most common one is to convert it into a fortress.

Planetary Fortress;

celestial battleship;

asteroid defense systems;

All of these are different.

After all, it is impossible for a planet shaped by humans to have minerals stored in it.

There is even less possibility of a native biosphere.

As a result, it is basically deserted, and most of it is a rocky barren planet with no other use value except for military transformation.

It is even less possible to develop local industries such as mining and extraction...

By the way, who can build an artificial planet with minerals when they are full?

On the contrary, it is possible to create a biosphere.

After all, there is such a thing as an 'artificial colonial planet'.

The artificial creation of native biosphere may be to improve the living comfort of residents.

But minerals are different.

If the front feet are buried and the back feet are dug out, it is just looking for trouble.

When mining raw materials for planetary materials, all available materials should be screened out directly on site and transported to the industrial zone.

If the planet is really artificially shaped, mineral veins must be artificially created...

To be honest, the level of boredom for someone who can do this kind of thing is comparable to "picking out all the little black spots on a whole box of strawberries", picking them all out, and then filling them back one by one.

Even an immortal race with a truly permanent lifespan cannot do such boring things.

People would rather sleep.

Are you too bored to sleep?

Tens of thousands of years have passed since I slept, and when I woke up, it was a brand new era of the universe. Then there would be something to do right away.

...not to discuss the concept of time of the immortal race.

But even they are at least pursuing a sense of meaning.

Things must be done meaningfully, meaningless things will not be easily done.

Especially a large project like creating an artificial planet, which can be said to be laborious and expensive.

Each planet created in this way must have its own purpose.

The most common one is naturally the military use mentioned before.

Planetary fortress or celestial battleship.

The former is used to create defensive facilities in certain special situations.

For example, a certain star system lacks celestial bodies and may only have a single star.

Or there may be only sparse meteorite belts, or even interstellar dust clusters in small and large groups.

There is no serious place to stay.

Creating an artificial planet at this time is equivalent to having an available piece of land where the main base can be photographed.

It can be used when the land area of ​​the stellar space station is not large enough;

The latter, usually, is used to provide an 'unsinkable aircraft carrier' with a volume comparable to an entire planet.

obviously.

Even dreadnoughts, titans, and even flagships are incomparable in size to a real planet.

The carrying capacity that both parties can provide is not of the same order of magnitude.

Having such a thing accompanying the fleet is equivalent to having a mobile home port.

Wherever it goes, the logistics index is off the charts, and it can provide endless supply support to the fleet.

Of course, although this thing is good, it is really rare.

after all...

If it weren't for stellar helium flashes, ordinary civilizations wouldn't be so idle as to use their own home stars to wander around the earth.

Therefore, planetary battleships are not very common. They are basically various reduced versions, such as mobile space stations.

Except for military purposes.

and outside colonial residential use.

There are many uses for this type of stuff.

It may also be the creation of a tourist attraction, or a planet-level research station...

...In short, those gadgets that require huge investment at every turn cannot be left idle when they are created.

And this kind of thing is extremely costly, of great significance, and has many uses.

It is even more impossible to appear in the virtual realm for no reason.
