In a blink of an eye, time flew by again.
The last section of Floating Island's base frame was assembled three weeks ago, the main structure was capped five weeks ago, and the installation and debugging of the energy system and defense array all passed acceptance last week.
Ling Zichen's temporary command platform at the construction site has been dismantled and replaced with a formal office inside Floating Island.
She finished signing the last acceptance report, leaned back in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zang Xin walked in from the door, holding a supply list in his hand. "Hey, it looks like you are finally done?"
"It's almost time..."
Ling Zichen pushed the report to the corner of the table and said feebly, "The energy system, defense system, communication module, residential area, scientific research area, and storage area have all passed acceptance. Floating Island should be ready for delivery."
It has been three months. She has not been able to touch her beloved Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell for three full months. She feels that life is full of gloom.
"Then let's wait for Parliament Speaker to come for acceptance." Zang Xin put the material list on her desktop. "This is the inventory of remaining materials at the construction site. I have people take them back to Eastsea City's warehouse. The on-site cleanup should be completed within today."
Ling Zichen picked up the list and quickly glanced at it, signed it and gave it to Zang Xin.
After working for so long, she didn't even need to look at this information a second time, she just completed the calculation in her mind.
Mo Yuan arrived at Floating Island that afternoon.
Chronos flew from the direction of Eastsea City and landed on the landing platform at the top of Floating Island.
Mo Yuan walked down the gangway, Ling Zichen and Zang Xin were already waiting on the platform.
"Let's go take a look at the energy core first." Mo Yuan said.
The three of them walked down the passage and arrived at the energy core cabin on the third floor.
Two sets of Source Loop Reaction Array are running at low power, and the energy patterns on the core surface are flowing steadily.
The Spatial Energy Storage Core next to it is also in standby mode, and the indicator light shows that the battery is full.
Ling Zichen called up the data on the control panel and pointed to the curve on Monitor: "Under full load output, the efficiency of the two arrays running in parallel is 97% of the design value. To be honest, I really think it is too wasteful for this thing to require so much energy."
Mo Yuan shook his head and did not answer the question directly, "Where is the defense array?"
"Go and have a look."
Speaking of which, we have to mention the layout of the entire Floating Island.
In fact, the entire sky island is relatively empty. What is currently there is the central core area, which is a large group of buildings.
Bordering the core area is an airport, where Chronos stops.
Apart from this, other places are relatively empty, and only some basic facilities have been built to facilitate subsequent construction.
The three of them walked all the way to the defense control room of the central building.
The defense map of the whole island defense system was put on Monitor, and the gun positions of Level-Nine Soul Guidance Cannon, the nodes of the shield generator, and the linkage logic between each area were all marked on it.
Mo Yuan took a look at the distribution of gun positions on the defense map, and understood clearly, and did not ask any further questions.
He walked outside the defense control room and walked along the passage toward the living area.
At the top of the building, there is a landing platform that can be used to take off and land small aircraft.
Mo Yuan stood on the edge of the platform, looking at the endless steel plain below.
Unfortunately, the current sky island is still somewhat different from what he imagined.
Zang Xin followed from behind and stood next to him. "The list of the first batch of personnel has been drawn up. The scientific research team will be drawn from Academy of Sciences and Anti-Entropy, and a company sent by the Eastsea Legion will be stationed permanently for security."
"The list was reviewed by Ling Zichen. After she confirmed that there was no problem, she followed the list and executed it." Mo Yuan said.
"Understood."
"Have you done the docking test between the communication module and the satellite network?" Mo Yuan turned to Ling Zichen.
"It's done." Ling Zichen said, "Floating Island's relay antenna and Spark One satellite have completed three signal round-trip tests, and the delay and packet loss rate are within the design range. After subsequent network satellites are launched, Floating Island can be used directly as a ground master station."
That's right, one of the main subsequent functions of Floating Island is to be used as the real-life anchor point of the entire Virtual World.
"What's the launch schedule of the networking satellite?"
"The plan reported by Academy of Sciences is to launch every half a month, and the seventy-two satellites will be completed in three years. As the main station, Floating Island will first access the satellites that have already been launched, and subsequent launches will be gradually integrated into the network."
Mo Yuan nodded.
"Floating Island's matter has come to an end, and there will be a new project next."
Ling Zichen and Zang Xin looked at him at the same time.
"Star Dou Battle Net, you know, Federation's satellite is to serve this project." Mo Yuan said, "I mentioned it to you before, but it has never been officially launched.. Now Floating Island has been built, the satellite network is also being rolled out, and the hardware conditions are ready. I plan to build the first core node of Star Dou Battle Net on Floating Island."
Ling Zichen responded the fastest, "What is Star Dou Battle Net?"
"A virtual training and confrontation system." Mo Yuan said, "Using the computing power of Satellite Communication Network and Floating Island, in the virtual space Simulation Soul Master battle, Soul Beast battle, and large-scale legion battle scenes. Users enter the virtual space through the spiritual access device and train or compete in the Simulation environment."
"The underlying architecture of Star Dou Battle Net can also be expanded into suites. Soul Tool designed Simulation, Mecha control training, and fleet command deduction, all of which can be connected to the same system."
"Ouch..."
Ling Zichen made a few notes on the data board. "So boss, what do you need me to do?"
"You first select the location of the core node computer room, and report the access device and computing power allocation plan to me. I will ask Academy of Sciences to come up with the plan for the architecture design of Star Dou Battle Net, and you will be responsible for the hardware connection here at Floating Island."
As soon as he heard that he didn't have to stay in this project all the time, Ling Zichen's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded happily. "I understand."
Mo Yuan added, "In addition, I plan to select the first batch of test users of Star Dou Battle Net from the elite troops of the military and high-level students from major colleges. The military side will be coordinated by Yu Guanzhi. As for the college side... Anyway, you should prepare the device and system first, and the test time will be notified."
"Okay."
Mo Yuan left without looking back.
"Star Dou Battle Net, that sounds interesting." Ling Zichen thought while touching his chin.
"Let's finish the Floating Island matter first." Zang Xin Youyou said.
Ling Zichen nodded, turned around and walked towards the island.
Zang Xin followed her, and the two of them walked down the passage.
"By the way," Zang Xin said suddenly, "About the health prescription you told Parliament Speaker before, did he ask for it from you later?"
"Don't mention it." Ling Zichen's expression changed and she glared at him, "I was sent to the construction site to stare at the whole process, and you still ask."
"Oh, I'm just curious. We were all driven here anyway, weren't we?"
"I found it, but he asked for it directly from you, Old Zang, right?" Ling Zichen glanced at him, "Did you give it to him?"
"I definitely gave it." Zang Xin said, "You and I only know."
"That's it." Ling Zichen said, "He must have recorded us. I'm afraid you will break your leg later..."
"Oh?"
"Because... hey, forget it, I won't arrange the boss anymore."
"Actually, this is quite good. It just so happens that I plan to promote Tang Sect to be completely integrated into Anti-Entropy."
"Huh?"
"You don't think Mo Yuan will let Tang Sect exist for a long time, do you?"
Zang Xin looked at Ling Zichen and said softly, "In addition to the Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda and Shrek will not exist for long. I think they will disappear completely in a few months."
"Yeah, it really looks like the boss's style."
