On the massive ship's deck, the AI's introduction continued.
"The IAI03 island-building ship is equipped with 36 ultra-high-pressure dredge pumps. The ship's flow rate can reach 350,000 cubic meters per hour. The standard dredging capacity can reach 120,000 cubic meters per hour. The maximum discharge distance is 180 kilometers, and the maximum excavation depth is 510 meters.
"During use, the ship can operate normally under force 11 winds.
It is equipped with the most advanced high-speed seabed reef excavation technology, adaptive carbon pile positioning technology, multi-channel hybrid and efficient dredging transmission technology, and artificial intelligence multi-complex system optimization. "
Along with the AI's further introduction of the island-building ship's parameters, a table appeared on the crystal ball. This table contained more detailed information about the ship's hull.
"Captain: 284 meters.
"Ship width: 91 meters.
"Maximum excavation depth: 510 meters.
"Total installed power: 841,000 kilowatts.
"Reamer power: 225,400 kilowatts.
"Carbon column weight: 7,100 tons.
"Farthest sandblasting: 22 kilometers.
"Total dredging pipeline length..."
[...]
[...]
[God...]
[Say it again. This is an island-building ship?!]
[I knew it!
This is a continental building ship!]
[Total installed power is over 800,000 kilowatts. Is this ship nuclear?]
[Farthest sandblasting: 22 kilometers...]
[Have you heard of an earth-based technique that descends from the sky?]
[I have. It's called a sandstorm funeral.]
[This is too awesome!]
[If these data are real, then UP, aliens are a certainty.]
[My profession is island-building. None of the parameters are reasonable.]
[Even a hundred aircraft carriers can't compare to this island-building ship, right?]
It took 15 minutes for the artificial intelligence "Dumbass" to finish the introduction in the barrage of bullet comments.
Chen Yu took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He then sorted out his words in his mind before saying, "Everyone and I have listened to the detailed introduction.
The parameters are frightening.
Even someone like me, who knows nothing about land-building, will be shocked when I hear the string of numbers.
I never thought that, after just a hundred years of technological development, humans would already possess the means to move the sea and build land.
"However, as the saying goes, all talk is no action.
A product's performance can only be understood through actual experience.
Now, let's move on to the next item, the product review. "
Reaching out to caress the crystal ball, Chen Yu followed the instructions and said, "Open the sea map."
"Yes, Commander.
The nautical chart has been opened. Please select the coordinates and sailing method you wish to travel to. "
Accompanied by the electronically synthesized sound, the oval crystal suddenly projected a blue Earth.
"Even though my current position is in the emperor ocean, it's closer to the universe countries, so it's not convenient.
It's better to lean towards the domestic market. "
After saying so, Chen Yu tapped on a location in China's territorial waters.
"Are the coordinates confirmed?"
"I'm sure."
"Commander, please select the navigation mode.
First, standard sailing mode; second, tension sailing mode. "
"Is there a difference?" Chen Yu asked.
"The standard sailing mode is to use the propeller to propel forward at a slower speed. The tension sailing mode is to destroy the surface tension of the seawater at the stern of the ship, causing the tension of the seawater at the bow to drag the hull forward at a faster speed."
"There's such a function?" Chen Yu was stunned.
"Please select the navigation mode," the artificial intelligence repeated.
"Will it be dangerous to travel too fast?"
"The hull is made of high-strength carbon fiber, and the surface is fused with a liquid high-polymerized nano-coating, so there's no fear of hitting the reef."
"There's no fear of hitting the reef... So, you're still an aircraft carrier, right?"
"Please select the navigation mode."
After hesitating for a moment, Little Peach asked, "My King, it doesn't have the ability to think. Why are you talking to it?"
"Roasting," Chen Yu said concisely.
"..."
"Let's stop talking. Today, I'll let everyone experience just how fast the tension sailing mode is." After saying so, Chen Yu issued a command, "Select tension sailing mode and head to the coordinates."
"Planning the route.
Tension sailing mode activation complete. "
As soon as the electronically synthesized voice fell, Chen Yu could clearly feel the ship's hull shaking.
It was turning around!
Buzz … Buzz … Buzz …
The deck trembled slightly.
A faint low-frequency roar resounded in the ears of the more than 300,000 people on board.
Half a minute later, the ship's stern started shaking violently, and waves of heat rose from the ship, distorting space itself.
The next moment, the nearly 300-meter-long behemoth started moving at an increasingly faster speed.
In less than a minute, the onlookers could already feel strong winds blowing at them.
Three minutes later, the strong winds became even more intense!
At this time, Chen Yu instinctively felt that something was amiss. Without bothering to explain the situation to the audience, he pulled Little Peach with his left hand and picked up the crystal ball with his right. He then rushed to the cabin on the right side of the deck and entered the cabin.
Whoosh —
Whoosh — Whoosh —
The waves coming from the ship's stern grew even stronger.
The waves of acceleration made Chen Yu a little nervous, and he promptly squatted on the floor.
Whoosh —
Whoosh — Whoosh — Whoosh —
The strong winds outside the cabin howled, and Chen Yu's chest gradually felt stifled...
He actually experienced the feeling of being pushed back on the ship...
"Just how damned fast is this thing?!"
[I seriously suspect that there are a hundred hair dryers outside.]
[That's a little fake. It's impossible to travel so fast at sea.]
[I heard that spatial curvature uses the tension of space to pull a spacecraft into the speed of light.]
[So, UP, your ship will enter the speed of light?]
[You're a freaking genius!]
[Godly logic.]
[It's fast and hard!
Tsk, tsk.]
[Tsk, tsk.]
[I understand instantly.]
[The greatest value of this ship is still its combat capabilities!
It's just a poor version of the Water Droplet!]
[Theoretically speaking, if it can smash reefs, it can smash continents as well.]
[Aside from violence, can't you think of anything else?]
[The only thing left is fast and hard.]
[Fast and hard.]
[Fast and hard. + 1...]
The acceleration lasted for five minutes before it gradually slowed down.
Standing up, Chen Yu looked at the seemingly constant ocean outside the window and sighed. "Although the ship's speed is very fast, it is still insignificant in the vast ocean.
As there is no reference point, and the ship's hull is very stable, I even get the illusion that I'm standing still if I don't look at the wind speed and the waves at the stern.
"If we were in space, wouldn't the illusion of stillness be even more obvious?
"Even if technology continues to reach new heights, compared to nature and the universe, we are still insignificant..."
…
Roughly half an hour later, the island-building ship began decelerating.
Another four minutes later, the ship finished decelerating.
The AI's mechanical voice came from the crystal ball, "Captain, we have arrived at the coordinates."
"Let's go."
Opening the door, Chen Yu discovered that the wooden table on the deck had long since "flown" away. He had no choice but to pass the crystal ball to Little Peach for safekeeping.
After adjusting the camera's position, Chen Yu cleared his throat and said, "We've already arrived at our country's territorial waters. Building an island here shouldn't cause any disputes.
Let me take a look. There are currently 410,000 viewers in the three livestream rooms.
Hehe, you guys are lucky to be able to witness the entire process of a large island being built from scratch!
After saying so, we should expand our territory and territorial waters... "
After saying so, Chen Yu waved his hand and gave the order.
"Dimwit, start building the island!"
"Rumble rumble …"
The ship shook!
The seawater churned!
As if coming to life, the numerous large machines on both sides of the deck began "transforming" and stretching...
…
(Three lines: Let me say something. Due to the frequency of three chapters after the sixth channel, there are too many words, so I need to revert to two chapters per day. Because I still have a forced advertisement that I haven't finished yet, I can't publish it yet. Hence, I'll temporarily revert to two chapters per day.
I'm really sorry.
I will try my best to publish more chapters once it's published.
