At the new home, somewhere in the special training headquarters base.
Three months, the Infrastructure Maniac spent three months proving that this title was no joke!
With a total area of 640,000 square meters and a depth of over 100 meters, the fully concealed underground arsenal and laboratory were meticulously completed within three months.
The pillars of the entire factory were made of E-carbon steel, its outer armor was also entirely made of E-carbon steel, and the innermost layer featured an additional layer of PS armor.
The first floor was the access level:
One entrance capable of allowing a space battleship to take off, one launch silo capable of launching five Gundams simultaneously, and three double-lane roads for trucks to drive on.
The second floor was the battleship production workshop:
However, it could only produce one space battleship, because the only warships Guo Yi currently mastered were those of the Gundam mothership class.
Other similar vessels like fast attack ships, transport ships, defense ships, and so on, still lacked certain components.
Therefore, the site was intentionally designed to produce only one space battleship.
The third floor was the materials production workshop:
A semi-automated production workshop that required very few people to oversee, with blank spaces left for Guo Yi to continue adding to it later.
The fourth floor was the Gundam manufacturing workshop:
With complete materials and manpower, it could handle the production of twenty Gundams simultaneously.
However, due to pilot and cost issues, there were currently only plans to produce eleven Gundams.
The most important among them was Guo Yi's own unit, as that one was naturally the most complete and formidable Gundam.
As for the other ten, they were custom units for Ostrich and the others.
The fifth floor was the material reserve level, supplying the needs of Guo Yi and his team for experiments and the production workshop.
The sixth floor was the experimental level, where all scientific research and experiments took place.
The seventh floor was the training level:
It featured a large public classroom, a space battleship crew classroom, and a classroom for Gundam pilots and ground landing personnel.
There were also thirty Gundam simulator cockpits, two space battleship bridge simulator cabins, and so on.
Of course, there was also a training room of the type used by Ostrich and the others, capable of accommodating nearly a hundred people training simultaneously.
The entire seventh floor could hold hundreds of people attending classes at the same time.
However, the first batch of trainees totaled only eighty-one people: three captains; three executive officers; six communications officers; three helmsmen; twelve supervisors; twenty-four fire control officers; and thirty Gundam pilots and ground landing personnel.
Coupled with Guo Yi as the chief instructor and Ostrich and the others serving as trainee-cum-instructors, the total came to ninety-two people.
The eighth floor was the living and entertainment area, where everyone in this underground factory resided.
The ninth floor was Doggie's home, a matrix-type artificial intelligence information processing hub composed of quantum computers, supercomputers, and other systems.
It was specifically responsible for managing all affairs, communications, and experiments for the entire factory.
The final floor was a matrix-type energy layer composed of multiple oversized, super advanced tritium cores.
At the same time, a cable had been secretly run to connect it.
Of course, Guo Yi had also paid a price.
The material formulas for E-carbon steel and its derivatives, the complete blueprints for nuclear batteries, the complete formula for PS armor, the gravity control system, and so on—as long as their usability had been confirmed and they could be mass-produced, everything was handed over.
One could say he had even emptied his coffin's savings and staked it all.
"So he can be considered our future?"
An elderly woman furrowed her brows and asked softly.
At this moment, in the central square of the factory's living area, Elder Zhou, Elder Zhao, He Zhijun, and other giants of the nation had arrived a step ahead.
In addition to these elderly men, there was also a group of their proud disciples and a dense crowd of blue-collar workers wearing work uniforms.
Elder Zhou was currently explaining why they had appeared here and who the core figure of this factory was.
"Yes, given his age and scientific research level.
To put it modestly, within a century, we can completely enter the era of space navigation."
Elder Zhou sighed. "We will grow old after all, and we won't be able to look at this land for much longer, nor stay here much longer.
So while we can still move, we must properly guide Guo Yi, this flower of the future.
As long as he is here, our future is visible and tangible!"
"---But there is a problem." An elderly woman fell silent for a moment, furrowed her brow, and asked solemnly, "What about the technology trap?"
The so-called technology trap referred to a situation where a civilization suddenly acquired ultra-advanced technology, causing everyone to obsessively research those technologies and leading to a deficiency in foundational science.
Under severe circumstances, this situation would cause the minds of people in the scientific community to become rigid, locking them into researching only those high-end technologies forever, unable to continue studying other fields.
Ultimately, these high-end technologies would become the technological ceiling of this civilization, never able to go any higher!
To give an example: our entire existing technological system was built on a few simple technologies, much like the roots or trunk of a tree.
Then, more leaves, which were the scientific branches, extended from this trunk.
The fruits on this tree were those technological products.
And now, Guo Yi had directly taken a bunch of fruits and grafted them onto the branches, while the trunk and roots might not be able to provide that much nourishment.
Therefore, it was very likely that the entire tree would wither and die as a result, or the heavy fruits would be blown away by a gust of wind, taking the tree and roots with them.
Castles in the air!
"That's why we are here!" Elder Zhou nodded, and then looked solemnly at the group of young people in front of him: "The primary purpose of us old fellows coming here is to guide Guo Yi's scientific research ethics. Beyond that, it is to assist him in the development and production of experimental products.
After all, that report on homunculi was simply too shocking.
As for you young people, it is to study!
Continuously study the foundational technology he provides, and when the time is right, go out to teach others and research new directions yourselves.
Guo Yi is the flower of the future, and you are the seeds to spread this flower far and wide!"
Pausing for a moment, Elder Zhou instructed: "Guo Yi is an orphan, and both his mind and personality have flaws.
When you study with him in the future, try to subtly help him make up for them.
I do not want any of you to unintentionally or intentionally harm him when conflicts arise in the future!
Do you understand?"
"Understood!" XN.
After Elder Zhou finished speaking, Elder Zhao also meticulously instructed everyone: "You can be considered the pride of heaven, but on the path of scientific research, he can completely act as your ancestor.
Your pride, your honor—they are worth nothing in front of him.
Don't think it's embarrassing that a dignified post-doctoral fellow like yourself has to learn from someone who hasn't even graduated from primary school.
In the sea of learning, the master takes precedence; there is no shame in it!
If you are unconvinced, then first master his knowledge, and then develop a product of the same category that is superior to his!"
"You too!"
Just as Elder Zhao finished speaking, He Zhijun shouted with full breath toward the group of blue-collar workers before him: "You are logistics elites selected from across the country, and in the future, you are even more likely to be part of the space pioneers.
In the past, you belonged to different units, coming from all corners of the country, each with your own skills and your own pride.
This is understandable.
But now, whether it's your skills or your experience, placed in front of Guo Yi, you are nothing more than apprentices!
In front of Guo Yi, put away all that arrogance and spine for me!
Whoever dares to stir up trouble, I will have you spend some quality time in the confinement room!
This is not a request, but a requirement, an order!
Do you understand?"
"Yes!" the group of blue-collar workers shouted in unison.
The people in the square, to say the least, upon hearing that the entire factory was built because of Guo Yi and enabled humanity to explore space because of him, naturally understood in their hearts what they should do next.
No one was stupid enough to think that heaven was number one, earth was number two, and they themselves were number three.
At the same time, people with such mindsets could not even enter this place, nor did they have the ability to come in.
Not to mention, seeing these old men and He Zhijun specially gather them together to give instructions made them well aware of just how severe the consequences of making trouble here would be.
Just as everyone finished shouting, a secretary suddenly ran over from somewhere, lowered his head, and whispered to Elder Zhou and the others, "Guo Yi is here."
Elder Zhou exchanged glances with the others and smiled. "Dismissed, everyone.
We old fellows will go together to welcome our future first."
"Mm." The old men nodded and left together.
Before leaving, He Zhijun suddenly seemed to think of something. He turned back, pulled the crowd back, and ordered, "Wait right here.
When he arrives, have him meet with all of you."
With a mysterious smile, He Zhijun left with the old men to welcome Guo Yi.
