259: Chapter 259 Two Months of Transformation: The First Phase of Three Major Projects Completed Simultaneously!

The problem posed by this door was exactly in the field that Automation Expert Jiang Yi specialized in.

He was crouching on the floor of the cabin behind the door, surrounded by a circle of robots of various shapes.

There were six-legged maintenance robots, tracked engineering robots, hovering mining robots, and palm-sized reconnaissance robots.

"Are all these guys usable?" Su Che kicked the chassis of a maintenance robot nearby.

Automation Expert Jiang Yi stood up and pressed a key on the control panel.

The maintenance robot activated immediately, its six legs crawling nimbly, and the mechanical arm on top deployed, precisely tightening a loose screw on an engineering robot next to it.

"Charging, maintenance, and repair stations are all ready, and the scheduling system is up and running."

Automation Expert Jiang Yi pressed a few more keys, and all the robots activated simultaneously, automatically dispersing into a neat formation in the cabin according to the preset formation.

"There are six hundred and twenty of the big guys alone, and they are all online."

Su Che swept a glance at the formation and finally headed to the thirty-sixth door.

Valentine Zoff and Zhao Yuan were already waiting inside.

In the center of the cabin was a huge ring structure, over twenty meters in diameter, with its surface covered in dense cooling pipes and superconducting coils.

At the core of the ring structure, through the thick protective glass, one could see a mass of blue-white plasma rotating steadily.

"Ship-borne large-scale cluster Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor."

There was a unique excitement in Valentine Zoff's voice, "The mothership's primary second energy core, operating independently in parallel with the base energy pile."

Zhao Yuan pulled up the power curve on the control console next to him.

"The total cluster power is ten times that of the base energy pile." He pointed to the steeply rising line on the graph, "The upper limit of the ship's total energy supply is maxed out; in the future, we won't have to worry about insufficient energy when running all systems simultaneously."

Su Che watched the rotating plasma, the blue-white light shining on his face.

"Have you done the grid-connection test with the base energy pile?"

Zoff nodded, "It has been running on the grid for forty-eight hours with zero faults. The two energy systems are completely independent; if one has a problem, the other takes over in seconds."

Su Che summarized the unlocking achievements of the four doors in his mind.

The energy system was upgraded, gravitational wave early warning was available, the robot cluster was in place, and the fusion reactor was doubled.

The foundation of the mothership was getting stronger and stronger.

When Su Che came out of the thirty-sixth door's cabin, it was already dark.

The light strips in the corridor were adjusted to a warm tone. He stretched his shoulders and walked toward the living area.

Pushing open the cabin door, Lin Waner was sitting at the desk organizing personnel files.

Hearing the movement, she placed the data pad on the table and stood up.

"Finished?"

"Yeah, four doors, energy and defense are both replenished."

Su Che walked over, casually moved the data pad on the table away, and took her wrist, "Stop looking, we're returning to Earth tomorrow, sleep early tonight."

Lin Waner didn't struggle, letting him pull her toward the bedroom.

"There's a lot to do in the Interstellar Development Zone, just keep it in mind, don't carry everything yourself."

Su Che closed the bedroom door and pulled her into his arms.

"With Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang keeping an eye on things, nothing will go wrong. I'll just stay in the village and won't go anywhere."

The next morning.

The shuttle craft slid out from the side of Genesis and entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit.

Su Che held the control stick with one hand, watching the blue planet outside the porthole get larger and larger.

Twenty minutes later, Su Family Village Airport.

Su Che parked the shuttle in the hangar and walked down the gangway.

Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang's dedicated car was already parked at the exit.

The car drove directly into the main building of the Interstellar Development Zone.

For the next two months, Su Che made his home in that office on the fourth floor of the development zone.

Time became the least valuable thing; everyone was chasing progress.

In the Dyson Cloud project team's laboratory, the three orbital belts on the holographic sun model were already densely packed with parameter nodes.

Eric Weir stood in front of the model, his fingers dragging the parameters of the inner orbit onto the main screen in the void.

"The communication return link for the survey satellites will be fully operational in the next few days."

Academician Qian Zhenhua stood up from the workstation next to him, grabbing a handful of goji berries and stuffing them directly into his mouth, "The latency is controlled at the millisecond level, and the data return from the twelve detection satellites is very stable."

Zhao Mingyuan tapped the Enter key, and a stream of green confirmation codes scrolled across the screen.

"The energy regulation unit for the Deep Space Main God AI will be done soon; it can analyze the stellar wind intensity and gravitational field distribution data itself, so humans don't need to watch it."

Academician Li Zhengyang walked over with a thick report and slapped it on the table.

"The energy transmission scheme is almost finished, the power attenuation model for directional laser transmission has been built, and the orbital maintenance parameters have all been output."

Eric Weir glanced at the report and nodded.

"The orbital calibration and resource scanning for Phase 1 are almost complete."

Su Che pushed the door open and heard the tail end.

"Hurry up, before the first phase is completed, nothing major will happen on the mothership, I'm not leaving."

He turned and went to the building next door.

In the laboratory of the third-generation Southern Gate fleet project team, the temperature was several degrees lower than outside.

Soren Kesh was crouching in front of a one-person-high prototype of an antimatter magnetic confinement storage tank, holding a detector and scanning along the shell.

Academician Sun Qiwen leaned over from behind and glanced at the readings on the detector.

"The temperature difference in the cooling circuit has stabilized, no problem."

Wen Bo walked out of the material room, carrying a tray with several silver metal blocks the size of fingernails on it.

"The critical temperature of the third batch of superconducting materials has been measured; it's a few points higher than the previous two batches, completely sufficient."

Academician Zhang Weide sat at a workstation in the corner, the structural stress simulation diagram on the holographic screen spinning constantly.

He used a stylus to draw a circle at the bulkhead connection, then drew a tangent line.

"The stress concentration point has been solved, stiffeners have been added, and the deformation is within the safe range."

Soren Kesh stood up and patted the shell of the prototype.

"The continuous operation time has met the standard, and the pilot test of the antimatter preparation process will be finished in these few days."

Su Che stood at the door without making a sound, watched for a while, and turned to the third project team.

The video link to the lunar base Dry Dock was unwavering every day.

Talia Knox's holographic projection hung in the center of the conference room, with the real-time image of the south side of the crater on the far side of the moon behind her.

On the gray-white lunar surface, the autonomous construction robot cluster was busy working on the southern wilderness.

Zhou Dehai made a gesture to the camera, his voice very loud.

"The foundation pouring is almost done, the production capacity of lunar soil bricks can keep up completely, and the robot cluster is working twenty-four hours a day."

Academician Chen Shian added from the side.

"The life support pipelines are laid, and the first batch of rotation personnel will go up in these two days."

Talia Knox pulled up the design drawings of the Dry Dock and drew a circle on them with her finger.

"The main keel truss will be online soon, there is no problem with hoisting in a microgravity environment, it's almost done."

Su Che sat at the head of the conference table, listened to the report, and threw the pen in his hand onto the table.

"Keep a close eye on it, don't let anything go wrong."

Two months of time slipped away amidst these dense data, drawings, and the roar of machinery.

This morning, Su Che stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.

Outside the window, on the roads of the development zone, engineering vehicles shuttled back and forth.

Kairos experts and Long Country academicians mixed together, some holding data pads, some gesturing at holograms.

Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang pushed the door open, holding a summary report.

"Chief Engineer Su, the first phase of the three major projects is all completed."

Su Che turned around, "How about the Dyson Cloud?"

"Phase 1 stellar system full-domain survey and orbital calibration are complete, multi-band detection satellites are all in place, and luminosity, flare, stellar wind, and gravitational field data modeling are finished."

"The resource reserves of asteroids and rocky planets have been accounted for, the multi-layer safe orbital bands are clearly divided, and the standardized satellite configuration and energy transmission schemes have all been output."

Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang turned a page.

"On the third-generation Southern Gate fleet side, Phase 1 antimatter application technology is complete."

"Antimatter high-efficiency preparation technology, magnetic confinement vacuum storage technology, and annihilation energy conversion technology have all been broken through, and the miniaturization scheme for antimatter weapons has also taken shape."

"Storage tank drawings, superconducting coil designs, energy collection modules, warhead packaging schemes, Team Leader Kesh has handed over everything, and the docking of the lunar fusion energy pre-supply system is complete."

Su Che nodded, "The lunar Dry Dock?"

"The main frame is fully formed, the Dry Dock on the south side of the crater can accommodate million-ton-class third-generation luan bird."

Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang closed the report.

"Three project teams, zero casualties, zero accidents."

Su Che walked to the desk and picked up the communicator.

"Notify all project team leaders and core academicians, meeting in the large conference room on the third floor of the main building in ten minutes."

Ten minutes later.

In the large conference room, ninety-nine Kairos experts and fifty-six Long Country academicians were all seated.

Eric Weir, Soren Kesh, and Talia Knox sat in the front row on the left.

Academician Qian Zhenhua, Zhao Mingyuan, Academician Li Zhengyang, Academician Sun Qiwen, Wen Bo, Academician Zhang Weide, Zhou Dehai, and Academician Chen Shian sat in the front row on the right.

Lieutenant General Peng Zhenbang sat at the other end of the conference table.

Su Che stood in front of the holographic projection table, scanning the audience.

The meeting room was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.

Su Che spoke, his voice not loud, but every word hit hard.

"Three months, the first phase is complete."

"The orbital calibration of the Dyson Cloud is done; the next step is to build a space raw material processing hub and open up the automated production chain for satellite components."

"The antimatter storage tank is finalized, the pilot test of the antimatter preparation process is passed; the next step is to put it into production and stuff the energy core into the belly of the luan bird."

"The frame of the lunar Dry Dock is up; the next step is to lay the equipment and prepare to welcome the construction of the third-generation luan bird's hull."

Su Che paused, his gaze falling on the control panel of the holographic projection table.

"The first phase is laying the foundation; the second phase is building the high-rise."

He put his hand on it.

"Now, start the second phase planning meeting."

The holographic projection lit up, and three sets of complex data streams floated in mid-air.
