Chapter 3413 (1/2)
The switchboard room where Nuwa was located is quite different from the original one. Now this place has become a huge liquid container filled with biological culture liquid and various chemical substances.
This huge culture tank is the training center of our future biological warship, the Shenlong. Of course, you can also say that the slipway is different. The difference is that the Shenlong is a biological warship. Therefore, the structure of the slipway used for assembly is a little different, because it is not actually built, but grows, and it is not normal growth, but gene induced growth 。
Go to the entrance and exit of the maintenance device at the top of the huge cultivation tank, then take off all the clothes on your body and walk into a special spray workshop. After comprehensive disinfection treatment, you can enter the room where the entrance and exit are located. At first glance, the room where the entrance and exit is located looks like a submarine base hidden in the mountains. On one side is the ground entrance and the other side is a written form of green translucent culture medium. There are five berthing like channels on the ground, but the difference is that it is actually a sloping slope, one end of which is connected to the ground height here, and the other end extends all the way to the culture medium.
I came in naked, because I had just finished disinfection and needed to be fully synchronized, so I didn't want to change clothes again. Anyway, although it seems busy here, there are no outsiders. There are no human beings or other members of the dragon clan. The robot is controlled by Nu Wa herself.
Just walk along the slope into the ocean of culture medium. The light green medium was maintained at 37.5 degrees, and the temperature was just right. Compared with the normal water body, the proportion of nutrient solution is slightly larger, so the buoyancy is also greater. However, this is just right for me, because our dragon's skeleton is made of metal, so it weighs more. Even if it is not equipped with a counterweight, it can easily dive into the bottom of the water. The price, of course, is that if we want to float on the water, we have to keep rowing, or we will sink quickly.
As I continued to move forward, the medium gradually went over my head, but I didn't start swimming. Instead, I stood there and took a few deep breaths.
This advanced medium functions somewhat like artificial amniotic fluid and can support any mammal on earth to breathe directly in the medium using the lungs. However, the lung was originally evolved to cope with the gas environment, so if it is suddenly replaced by a liquid environment, even if oxygen exchange can be carried out, it will still be a little uncomfortable, especially when the initial process of sending air to inhale the culture medium is very uncomfortable, which will choke you even burst out tears, but it is good to adapt. After all, it is just the nervous system's discordance that leads to it Damage.
As a dragon, of course, my adjustment was faster. A few breaths were squeezed into all the gas, and then I began to swim forward.
In fact, the oxygen content in advanced culture medium is very high, which is higher than that you can breathe when you are on land, so even ordinary people feel that their physical strength has increased here. Of course, it's all illusions, just because the increased amount of oxygen inhaled reduces the speed of acid accumulation in the body.
Although the light green medium was colored, it was very permeable. I had just reached the end of the slope when I saw the huge outline in the solution below. If someone who doesn't know suddenly sees such a contour in the water, he will be scared to urinate immediately, because the huge outline is the head of a ferocious beast.
In fact, this head should be a dragon head. The shape is designed according to the shape description of the dragon in Chinese mythology. Of course, it has done a lot of artistic processing. It is not as naive as the dragon in traditional Chinese painting. It focuses on increasing momentum and deterrence, so it looks more frightening than the normal dragon head.
Of course, the real horror of this brain lies mainly in its size. The dragon head, which stands like a mountain peak, is too big. Its volume makes you can't find any human architecture that can be used to compare with the mountain.
In fact, if you can see the body under the head, you will find that this is a complete dragon, not just a head, but it is standing there with its head up, so I can only see one head when I come down from above.
Of course, this dragon is not our biological weapon, or it is not a simple biological weapon. We all know the body structure of the dragon. If it is moving underwater, it is quite good, but if it is fighting on the ground, the body structure of the dragon is actually very unreasonable. In fact, the dragon totem in ancient China was made up of several kinds of creatures. In the process of the Chinese nation's campaign, they constantly integrated the totems of various tribes, and added the representative characteristics of some biological totems to their own totem creatures. The final product of this addition and modification is the dragon. Although it looks powerful, its body structure is complete Totally unreasonable creatures. This is why Longyuan even created a Western giant dragon like lucky, but did not create an Oriental dragon as a national totem. It is not that it can not be made, but the combat effectiveness will not be too high after it is made. At least the shape of Oriental dragon is not suitable for most of the ground environment. As for air combat Let's wash and sleep!
So, since the shape of the dragon has been proved to be unsuitable for the environment on earth, why should we make a dragon here? The answer is that this dragon is not designed for the gravity circle environment at all. It is a biological warship, a space biological warship that can enter the vacuum environment and conduct interstellar navigation.The body structure of the dragon is not a suitable shape within the gravity circle, but there are not so many problems if it is to enter space. Because there is no air resistance and no need for wings to provide lift, the shape of a space warship can be very arbitrary. As long as the structural strength and internal space are reasonably configured, the shape of a space warship can be very wonderful.
Since the outer shape requirements of space warships are not high, it is not surprising that we have made a dragon. Of course, since it is used as a space warship rather than a biological weapon within the sphere of gravity, then the size of the dragon must be large enough. That's why the dragon in front of us is so big that it's incredible. Of course, such a large biological weapon can't be lifted off by rocket booster. It actually has its own power.
The dragon is powered by multiple sets of biological engines in its body. It's similar to a superelectromagnetic engine in principle, but it's a biological structure, not a mechanical structure. In addition, the propulsion power of the biological engine is higher than that of the super electromagnetic engine of the mechanical structure. However, because the biological engine is not compatible with the mechanical body, the immigration ship can not use the biological engine, only the biological warship can use it.
In addition to the super electromagnetic engine, the Dragon actually has about five million micro mass effect thrusters. The reason why the number is so exaggerated is that it is completely biological, without any mechanical structure. For a mechanical warship mainly made of metal materials, it is absolutely impossible to produce and install millions of small thrusters in place. Even if it can, no one will do so because the gain outweighs the loss, and the cost will scare you to death. But for organisms, there's no problem at all.
For example, humans and tiring robots are similar in structure. In order to make the robot have the sense of touch, it is necessary to install a pressure sensor for the robot. According to the information provided by the leader of the pilgrims, even if the creators use high-level life service robots, the number of pressure receptors on the surface of the robot will not exceed 2000. These pressure receptors are distributed in all parts of the robot's body surface that need to feel the pressure changes to simulate the sense of touch. This may not be important for industrial robots, but for robots of biological service category, especially for some special models, this requirement will be very high. But even so, the limit of two thousand pressure sensors is already at its limit, and any more will seriously affect the cost and other capabilities of the robot.
But how many nerve endings on the human body surface that can sense pressure changes? The specific number is not clear, but it has been determined that there are millions of nerve endings on one leg of a normal person, and the sensory nerve endings in sensitive parts such as fingers are extremely dense. Therefore, the whole body tactile sensation of a normal person is actually completed by nearly 100 million nerve terminals. This degree of precision is unlikely to appear in man-made robots in any case, because even if they can do so much, no one will be bored to install more than 100 million baroreceptor on the robot. What's more, the sensory nerve endings on the human body surface are not only capable of sensing pressure, but also generating temperature and current sensing abilities. That is to say, every sensory nerve ending has the ability to sense pressure, temperature and electric field. Of course, in the end, that electric field is very insensitive.
It's like these neural systems. It is impossible for a robot to install hundreds of millions of baroreceptor, but most advanced mammals have more than one million sensory nerve terminals, which is totally unthinkable in mechanical engineering.
The same is true. You can't install a million thrusters on a steel warship, but a dragon produced by genetic engineering can ”grow” millions or even billions of ”propulsion organs.”. Yes, it's pushing the organs. These mass effect engines are parts of a steel warship, but to this dragon, they are small organs one by one. They are responsible for a special function just like the organs in the organism.
There are more than one million mass effect thrusters in this dragon, and they are scattered in all parts of the dragon. Although the number is large, it will hardly produce any space pressure, because the specialty of biology is to make good use of every space.
The combined effect of these two thrusters is that the dragon not only has the ability to freely enter and exit the surface of the planet, but also can easily cruise at sub light speed in the interstellar space. Of course, the biological warship actually has a jump equipment, but it is mainly used for long-distance navigation, and as the escort warship of the immigration fleet, the Dragon probably does not use this equipment.
All the way down, the shadow of the huge dragon head became bigger and bigger in my sight. Soon, I couldn't see the whole picture of the dragon. What I could see was the huge and cliff like protrusion of the dragon's mouth on my side, and below me was the position of the dragon's forehead and eyes. But now those two eyes look like two huge lakes However, the dragon's forehead is also a diamond shaped huge crystal, which is actually a weapon launcher. Of course, it is an energy weapon, otherwise it would not be sealed with a crystal.
My goal is not the huge crystal, but the long dragon mouth on my side. There are two horizontal openings in the upper part of the dragon's mouth, which look like breathing holes, which are the nostrils of this dragon. The design of this nostril is quite different from the mythical Chinese dragon. In Chinese legend, the nose of the dragon is located at the front of the head, and it is very large and looks quite prominent. However, the design of our dragon's nostrils is very similar to the nostrils of birds. It is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the root of the upper part of the mouth. In appearance, it is just two holes, without any protrusion.In fact, the two battleships can't use the nostrils to complete their operations in a virtual environment. In fact, they can't use their nostrils to complete their operations. This dragon actually has an internal oxygen circulation system, so it has no respiratory organs. The dragon's ”lung” is actually a large hangar for medium-sized spacecraft. And this part can be opened out to facilitate spacecraft access. As for the nostrils and the space behind them, it's actually a parking space for space fighters and small warships, as well as access, or ejection tracks.
Now both nostrils are open and I can swim in.
From a distance, I don't think it's really ridiculous to enter this huge nostril. But it's right to think about it. This thing is not only the entrance and exit of space fighters, but also allows the entry and exit of small warships. How about if the opening is not large? As for the fact that I'm here alone, it's almost like a dust.
After entering through the huge nostrils, you can see a passage covered with translucent crusts. These things are actually a kind of solidified biomass secretion. The hardness after solidification is comparable to that of high-grade alloys. However, its greatest advantage is not hardness and toughness, but repairability. It's just like a human fingernail. It can grow continuously, so it can regenerate no matter what degree of damage occurs. There is no need to worry about the damage. As the entrance and exit of the passage, the probability of damage to this position in battle is obviously quite high, and a self-healing material is obviously more suitable for this environment than any steel.
This special material does not completely cover the entire channel, and as you move forward, you can see some exposed metal structures. They look like train tracks, and they're so big that they make up 13 different track groups in the nasal cavity. These are electromagnetic catapults, similar to catapults on aircraft carriers. They are mainly devices that provide initial speed for the aircraft to be launched.
Beyond these things, the wormhole like passage becomes a huge metal channel. From here on, the surrounding environment looks like a regular space warship's internal structure, and there is no difference except for the large space.
As I walked along this huge passageway, I soon reached a meeting point, where the nostrils connect. Here the channels converge into one and then extend back. Here you can see the horizontal partition in the center of the passage, which is used to guide the aircraft in and out. Just like the expressway is divided into left and right sides, it is divided up and down. The aircraft in and out should go through the corresponding channels to avoid being out of business in this important traffic channel.
I entered through the above passage, and after a short distance, I saw a personnel entrance and exit on the side passage, but I did not go in, but continued to deepen. Dive into the huge space fighter hangar inside and swim to one of the relatively large entrances and exits. On the wall here are the floating channels. I arrived at the position of 170 floors. There is a big electronic door on the wall here. As soon as I got close to the door, I automatically opened it to both sides, and then I entered the interior.
In fact, it was a large elevator. I didn't press the switch after I entered because it was completely controlled by the mind network. There were no other buttons on the wall except emergency stop.
The elevator first moved towards the top of the tap for a distance, then suddenly began to move horizontally. After stopping, I appeared in a quite large space. This is a place like a transportation hub. You can get to different areas by changing elevators in different directions from here, and there are many channels to go, but I still changed an elevator.
I still haven't got to the place where I wanted to start for at least 40 minutes. Of course, the giant dragon is one of the reasons, but it is more because of the current environment.
In terms of design, this thing should have been used in space, that is, a gravity free environment. In fact, there is no artificial gravity in this dragon. It's not that we can't do it, but it's unnecessary. Human body is relatively fragile, if long-term in a non gravity environment, there will be a lot of problems, and in the non gravity environment, many of the human body movement will be restricted, because not accustomed to the decline in work efficiency is almost inevitable. However, this dragon is not an immigrant ship, but a warship for escort. Therefore, it is a special boat for the dragon people. Our dragon people's adaptability to the non gravity environment is obviously much higher than that of human beings, and even if it is a long-term non gravity state, our bodies will not have any abnormal reactions. In addition, our electromagnetic control ability can react with itself by pushing and pulling the magnetic field, so that we can move at high speed in the vacuum, so that the vacuum environment is a more suitable state for us. This is actually one of the reasons why the original creators wanted us to be creatures that could survive in a vacuum, because we would be very adaptable to space.
If the Dragon stops in the earth's orbit now, I can get to the place I want to go in 10 minutes at most. But the problem is that it is not a gravity free environment, but it is also full of a large proportion of biological culture liquid. This device is not only more specific than water, but also has a lot of higher viscosity than water. Therefore, in order to move at high speed in this environment, we need to face the huge Resistance. This damned resistance has led me to move here for more than 40 minutes, but I haven't reached the place yet. Fortunately, the distance is not far.Almost an hour after I entered the culture medium, I finally reached my goal, dragon brain, through a complex network of channels.
