Chapter 266, Relying on the Great Development of Star Port

After landing on the ground, Gu Hang also had a special chat with the person in charge of supervising the construction of the star port.

This person is Hu Ke.

The two most outstanding scientific researchers under Gu Hang are both from the Mechanical Order, namely Hu Ke and Wu Jiarong.Judging from the Order's rating, both of them have reached the level of 'Engine Seer'.

The person Gu Hang trusted more was of course Wu Jiarong.But because of this, she has a more important task on her shoulders.She has to stay in Wei Xingcheng's research institute at all times to protect the black box that cannot be known to outsiders.

The scientific research team she leads needs to provide technical support for Wei Xingcheng's increasingly large production system.

Hu Ke, on the other hand, is not so busy.

His last major project was agricultural production guidance and grain seed genetic optimization in the Qinggu area.

This is a suitable job for him, as he specializes in genetic engineering.

In addition to agricultural construction in the Qinggu area, he also has work on building intensive soilless three-dimensional cultivation plants in settlements in the Central and North Central Provinces where the population has not been relocated.

Gu Hang bought this related technology from his cousin.

Objectively speaking, Hu Ke's work over a long period of time has provided a lot of help for Nu Xiaoxing's food development.

At the same time, Hu Ke was also a professor at Alliance Technical College and taught many students.

Not to mention those who were still learning in class, those who had reached a certain level were brought with him and actually participated in some specific research projects.

After the technical guidance work of grain production was on the right track, Hu Ke gradually withdrew himself and mainly left it to his students to handle the relevant technical processing.

And he himself was given the job of supervising the construction of the star port by Gu Hang.

To be honest, Hu Ke has not been completely trusted by Gu Hang, and he will definitely not be exposed to the secrets of the black box.

But the special thing about star port construction is that it is not a black box to build a star port, but a complete set of "blueprints".

Of course, it also includes several black boxes, which are used to produce key components, or mass production master machines for key components.This part, Gu Hang still left in Wei Xingcheng's research institute.However, there are still high technical requirements for the production of some common components and structures, as well as the assembly of various parts.

Relying purely on skilled workers would make the process very slow and prone to problems.

Hu Ke and his team are here to take on this part of the work.

Although, star port construction is certainly not what he, a genetic engineering expert, is good at.But after all, the basic abilities are here, even if there is no specialization bonus, it is much more reliable than just grabbing someone with poor technical ability to take charge.

And he did not live up to Gu Hang's expectations.

Hu Ke took Governor Gu to inspect the ground part of the Star Port.

This is also a large construction site, but the scale is much larger than the track part.

The top priority is the second magnetic track to the star port that has already begun construction.Coupled with the gradual expansion of the scale of the upper orbital star port, the continuous establishment of new magnetic orbits will allow the star port, which is currently only barely operational, to continue to improve its cargo and personnel throughput.

The whole situation is quite gratifying.

At present, there are two main reasons that restrict the speed of star port construction: the production capacity of core components is relatively worrying; and the number of engineering machines suitable for space operations is seriously insufficient.

Efforts are being made to overcome these two problems.

The core components of the star port are still very dependent on being manufactured in the laboratory in Wei Xingcheng (relying on a black box), and then transported here for splicing and assembly.However, related industrial lines have already begun to be constructed.The first batch of Xingang parts mass production factories have been set up near Xingang City, and they are just waiting for the equipment to be shipped from Weixing City before they can be put into production.

As long as this factory is put into operation, 70% of the demand for core components can be met on-site within two months, and the construction speed of the star port will increase significantly.

As for the second problem, engineering machines for space operations mainly rely on the industrial power of Wei Xingcheng to solve it.After they are freed from the work of producing core components for the star port, they will have more energy to focus on building more space engineering machines.

Gu Hang couldn't help but nodded.

It’s normal to have problems, as long as there are solutions.

During the inspection, a senior official from the alliance also hurriedly arrived.

That was the provincial chief of Xiongya Province, Rafal.

As the province closest to the west and the first to be recovered among the three eastern provinces, under the leadership of Rafal, the development plan of Xiongya Province is the most complete and rapid.

On the one hand, this depends on the geographical advantage, and the star port was built in the Skaro Highlands in the Xiongya Province. On the other hand, Rafael, the chief, is indeed very capable.

During the inspection, Rafal told Governor Gu in detail his series of subsequent development plans.

Not much to say about the star port. With this star port as the core, Rafael will build a city here.

Skaro City will also be called Starport City.

The main position of Skaro City is as a transportation hub.

There are many rapid access roads, including railways and highways, forming a road network with Skaro City as the center and extending to various regions of the entire alliance.

Many industries that rely on road transportation, such as logistics, road maintenance, vehicle maintenance, energy processing and a series of industries, are all in the process of preparation.

It also provides a large number of convenient business services to facilitate the subsequent establishment of foreign trade branches in various cities and industrial zones.

These are the core driving forces for the future development of Skaro City.

However, the so-called long-term motivation is still in the future.At present, the biggest driving force for the development of Skaro City is the construction of the Star Port.

There is no doubt that the construction of the star port itself will create huge market demand.Hundreds of thousands of workers work here, and their basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation gave birth to the original market in Skaro City; the parts factory serving the construction of the star port will also spawn a large number of services; Rafal is even working hard to introduce some production lines. Skaro City has established a preliminary raw material processing system.

With the help of the developed road network and the huge demand brought about by the construction of the star port, Skaro City even has the opportunity to become an industrial city before becoming a hub city.

This is certainly not a bad thing.

During the half-day of inspecting the construction of the Star Port and Skaro City, Gu Hang was generally satisfied with the development here.

Before Gu Hang was about to leave, Hu Ke applied to have a private chat with him.

"Thank you very much for letting me participate in the construction of the star port." Hu Ke's face was filled with a smile.

Gu Hang was also very polite: "It's me who should thank you for your efforts."

"No, no, no... this is what it should be. With the salary and benefits paid by the alliance government, I should do this. And the technical blueprint you gave me to participate in the construction of the star port is really... I'm sorry, I I don’t know how to describe it. This whole set of technical blueprints is really incredible! I learned a lot from it.”

"In the past, for a long time, I was confused about my future development. I couldn't feel my progress for a long time. However, in the past few months, I feel that my ability There has been a huge increase. These are all due to participating in this project, so I have to express my gratitude to you!”

When he heard this, Gu Hang had already vaguely noticed what Hu Ke probably meant.

But he didn't speak.

Hu Ke secretly took a look at Gu Hang's expression, but didn't see anything, so he could only continue: "Your planet...or to be more precise, it's the research institute run by Ms. Wu Jiarong. It's really amazing. Everyone. Various technologies emerge one after another from the research institute, which makes people yearn for it... If possible, I would like to join the research institute." Sure enough.

Gu Hang sighed in his heart.

In Wei Xingcheng's research institute, one piece of technology after another is constantly spraying out like a fountain. This matter cannot be hidden from anyone who is interested.

Maybe no one has such a strong imagination that they would suddenly think that there are dozens of black boxes there, and as Gu Hang points out more and more technology trees, there will be more and more.However, it is normal to feel that there are secrets there.

Otherwise, were they all developed by Wu Jiarong?

That's genius.

It's not that people with such geniuses are not allowed to appear, but that even if there is an invincible genius sitting in the research institute and his scientific research ability is impeccable, it will always take time to produce so many results.

But Wu Jiarong did this as if she really didn't need any time.

Gu Hang understood Hu Ke's curiosity, and he would have done the same.

It’s not just Hu Ke either.

In the past, although the development speed of Raging Owl was fast, and Gu Hang's rise was also very fast, after all, the stage was limited to this planet that did not even have a star port, and there was not much interstellar communication.Even if there is an abnormality, people are too lazy to pay attention.

Just like most people don't care what happens in an ant nest.

However, as Wrath Star develops faster and faster in the future, and its influence develops towards a larger stage, the situation of Wrath Star is no longer as simple as an ant nest.

Even now, people will start to be surprised at how Gu Hang built a strong army on a wasteland planet, how it developed so rapidly in just a few years, and how those mature production lines came into being. .

In this regard, Gu Hang has prepared two sets of excuses.

First, Wu Jiarong is a genius.

Secondly, it was invested and built by the Gu family.

These statements may be sufficient for general situations, but for those who have carefully investigated the rise of the Raging Owls Alliance, they are a bit unreasonable.

And Gu Hang didn't bother to look for a new explanation - he couldn't find one either.

In this matter, the back-up plan he prepared was actually just one trick: not responding and forcing confidentiality.

The alliance has taken the security of Wu Jiarong Research Institute to the highest level, even tighter than Gu Hang's own security.

Apart from Wu Jiarong, there is no other living person who has access to the black box - the servitors are not human beings, and they will not reveal secrets.

How the alliance developed and how it came up with so much technology is up to you to guess.

You can guess what you want, but if you want proof, just dream.

As for, above board review.

Gu Hanghui, as the planetary governor, sternly refused.

Imperial law gives the planetary governor all the power on his own planet, and Gu Hang certainly has the power to do so.

Of course, this so-called power needs to be guaranteed by strength.

Gu Hang's goal in the future is to ensure that he has the strength to do it so that even the small sector government, the Tribunal and the Mechanicus Church cannot forcefully investigate.

Without actual evidence, it is impossible to cause trouble through formal channels; without evidence, it is difficult to make certain forces really go to war with just a guess.

Of course, until Gu Hang develops to a certain level, there is no need to worry too much about this issue for the time being.

Just like that metaphor, when he was still an ant nest, no one would care about what happened in the ant nest, let alone think that the infinitely precious black boxes would be piled up densely in this ant nest.

To be honest, other possibilities are much more reliable than "Governor Gu has a system that can pull out a lot of black boxes at will."

As for whether we should be more cautious about the use of technology trees in the future... Gu Hang has no intention of doing so.

There is no need to say what should be cautious and confidential. You must do your best.

But in order to keep secrets and slow down his development speed, Gu Hang had no intention of doing so.

That is abandoning the basics and chasing the last.

As for Hu Ke's request now, Gu Hang had an idea when he had anticipated what he wanted to say.

He opened his hand to Hu Ke and said frankly: "Mr. Hu, I understand your curiosity about the Alliance Research Institute. It is the core of the Alliance's scientific and technological output and contains the core secrets. I also hope you can join there. , you will learn a lot of secrets, which will be of great benefit to you. But..."

"Please allow me to speak frankly. In order to ensure that the secrets are not leaked, I need everyone who joins the institute to be trustworthy enough. Mr. Hu, you still need to go through a period of testing. Perhaps, you have to go to Zhongsi Academy Gone for a trip.”

"In addition, to keep secrets, you will also lose a lot after joining the institute. Your movements may be restricted, and everything you say and do may need to be reported and closely monitored; you will have less time to spend with your family. It will also decrease..."

Having said this, Gu Hang spread his hands, looked at Hu Ke and said, "You may want to think about this matter carefully."

After hearing this, Hu Ke was indeed a little hesitant.

He really didn't think about the black box. His most previous guess was that there were many technical blueprints obtained by the Gu family in the research institute.For example, the construction of various technical weapons and production materials is realized through the reproduction of technical blueprints.

Those are the things he wants to gain.

Studying those technical blueprints will allow his level to rise significantly.

However, he quite understood Gu Hang's reason for 'keeping secrets'.

It is indeed hard to accept that he has to pay so much for this, is closely monitored, and must always pay attention when getting along with his family.

"There's no rush." ​​Gu Hang said, "You can make this choice at any time. You don't have to give me an answer right now."

"Thank you, Mr. Governor, I will think about the whole matter carefully."

After chatting, Gu Hang boarded the Wind Falcon and returned to Fuxing City.

Here, his loyal subordinates have many things to report to him.

But before that, he needed to do something else.

The nearly [-] points of gifts on hand will have to be spent.
