Chapter 483 Building the Ark!
"Master, all the components for building the main body of the [Ark] have been manufactured. Shall we begin assembly now?"
Just as Cangnian was teasing Tiger Girl, he heard Noah's voice in his ear.
"Ow~!"
Upon hearing this voice, Cang Nian's eyes lit up, and he let out a howl in agreement.
"Okay, we are communicating with Mr. Qin and other gold-type evolvers. We expect to reach 75% by nightfall tonight."
Then, Noah's voice rang in Cang Nian's ears once again.
"Wow, this is progressing really fast... It seems like time isn't that tight after all!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian was in a rather good mood and praised it in his heart.
The second spiritual energy revival tide has only been going on for a week.
In order to have a place to land before the ice floes melt, and then to allow the large ships to sail back to the Dragon Kingdom, the Northeast Allied Forces of the Dragon Kingdom devised a plan.
Project Ark!
Under the coordination of Noah, this powerful data being, Project Ark was progressing rapidly.
On the third day after the second spiritual energy revival tide, Noah created a brain-computer interface device and compiled all the technical knowledge related to shipbuilding!
On the fourth day after the second spiritual energy revival tide, Noah had finished verifying all the relevant knowledge and eliminated the erroneous knowledge through various small-scale experiments!
On the fifth day after the second spiritual energy revival tide, Noah, using his shipbuilding knowledge, operated in a multi-threaded manner to create production lines for various parts!
During this process, all the belongings of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom were sorted and recycled by Noah's dismantling system, and the fourth-order alloy was smelted.
In less than two days, all the parts needed for the prototype of the Ark were produced!
This is simply an industrial marvel!
As for why it's called the prototype of the "Ark," it's because, strictly speaking, what we're building now isn't a large ocean-going vessel.
This is just a super-large sea platform, whose only purpose is to float and carry the two million people of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, as well as hundreds of tigers.
Of course, now there are more than two hundred tigers.
As for the Black King Serpent...
There's no way around it, it's just too big.
Its weight is in the thousands of tons, or even several thousand tons.
With that weight, she should just swim in the sea.
The entire Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom has two million people, which together amount to about 100,000 tons. The weight of the Black King Serpent is only a few percent of that value.
Now, all the tigers combined are not as heavy as the Black King Serpent!
Before the revival of spiritual energy, it would have been impossible to build such a massive offshore platform.
Giant ships capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of tons do exist.
But those giant ships were all cargo ships, carrying things like crude oil and coal.
But if you were to carry that number of people, and double the amount of necessary supplies...
That offshore platform, which can no longer be called a ship, would have an enormous area, and the materials would simply not be strong enough to support such terrifying tension.
However, the fourth-order alloy, which was forged from the skeleton of a fourth-order evolved creature, is far stronger than the refined steel before the spiritual energy revival. According to Noah's calculations, it can fully withstand the giant structures that could not be built before the spiritual energy revival.
According to Noah's plan, the prototype of the Ark was very simple: a concave disc with a diameter of 2.5 kilometers.
The lowest layer is where the ballast water is located, completely submerged on the seabed. It is filled with seawater and equipped with a set of gyroscopes to keep the Ark stable.
Above that, five meters high, is also submerged in the seabed. This area will serve as the industrial zone for the Ark. Noah will build a number of new production lines in this area, which will also be used as an incubator for adding new functions to the Ark.
Further up is the living area, which is only three meters high and consists entirely of eight-person dormitories designed to save space.
However, while saving money, Noah also considered all the most basic needs.
Between every ten dorm rooms, there is a common washing area with a complete water supply and drainage system, where you can use the toilet and take a shower.
The top level is a huge circular open space, which is both the area where the tigers roam and where everyone cooks and eats.
Unfortunately, starting a fire indoors requires considering safety issues and the even greater burden of ventilation.
Right now, the most important goal is to provide a place for so many people to stay before the ice floes melt, so everything has to be kept simple.
The part of the Ark that is above the sea is actually not very high, only a few meters high. However, the edges are protected to prevent seawater from seeping in when the waves are surging.
Once the most basic issue of finding a place to land is resolved, Noah can continue to add features to the existing Ark platform, ultimately achieving powerful performance and excellent maneuverability, thus enabling him to return to the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, Cangnian was overjoyed that the construction of the Ark could begin.
After Tiger Girl was born, the temperature rose day by day.
At the hottest time of the day, the temperature had already risen to minus four degrees Celsius!
At this temperature, Cang Nian could see that the surface of the floating ice had become moist.
Salty seawater has a lower freezing point and melts more easily.
Faced with this situation, Yi Chen and the other ice-type evolvers in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom have joined forces to freeze the entire floating ice to prevent their place of refuge from collapsing.
At this moment, there is no time to lose!
That's why the news about Noah is so exciting!
"Huh~?"
Thinking of this, Cangnian lowered his big head and let out a soft howl at Tiger Girl, asking her if she wanted to come with him to see further places.
Huh~?
Ouch~!
Tiger Girl tilted her little head, her wet eyes full of curiosity, then nodded excitedly and hopped around on her two front paws.
The little guy is quite clever. Under Cang Nian's deliberate guidance, he has only been open for a day, but he already understands the meaning of body language such as nodding to indicate affirmation and shaking his head to indicate negation.
As for what Cang Nian's howl actually said, Tiger Girl still can't understand such a complex expression.
It nods simply because it's having a great time since learning to nod and shake its head.
However, this was exactly the effect that Cang Nian wanted.
Huh~!
Immediately afterwards, Cangnian activated the Wind from the Tiger skill, and a gentle breeze blew on Tiger Girl's body, then floated up, carrying Tiger Girl's chubby body!
Then, Qingfeng lifted Humei and placed her on Cangnian's head.
The little guy had never experienced such a high vantage point since birth, and was a little scared. He clung tightly to Cang Nian's scalp with his four little paws, afraid of falling.
Huh~!
Then, Cangnian made a light leap, his body rising high into the air, looking down at the floating ice below.
Beside the ice floes, giant alloy plates were being manipulated by Qin Changyi and other metal-type evolvers, fitting together on the sea surface to gradually form a perfect concave circular surface.
Wow~!
Wow~!
On Cang Nian's head, Hu Mei opened her tightly closed eyes and saw that everything below had become tiny. Miraculously, she was no longer so afraid and excitedly screamed in her childish voice.
