Chapter 6 Captain's Day

In the vast universe, a huge artificial celestial body floats. She stretches out eight spiral arms dozens of kilometers in the direction of the star, slowly rotating around the center. After the spiral arms, there is a cylindrical hull that extends nearly ten kilometers in length, and finally form three huge and sixteen smaller ion engines arranged in a honeycomb shape, emitting blue glimmer.

Although the ion engine is offline, it is not actually turned off. Because it takes a full year for this largest engine in the entire solar system (the three largest, the diameter of the nozzle is more than ten kilometers, and a single manufacturing cycle takes eleven years) from warm-up to start-up, and then to a steady rise to 70% efficiency line! If it were not for the implementation of wireless transmission technology, such an engine could only stay on the drawings.

Eight spiral arms spreading over solar panels, like an open umbrella, blocking the scorching stars and casting a darker shadow into the dark universe behind them. The "Dawn Beginner" orbits the star synchronous orbit, and the distance between her stars is only half that of Mercury and the Sun, and is adjusted at any time as the star's activity cycle. When she stretches out the eight spiral arms, the cast shadows can easily cover the entire earth. In fact, due to the weakening of the sunlight by the earth's atmosphere, the solar energy received by Dawn every day is more than four times that of the entire earth's surface...

Lu Yuan has always had a misunderstanding. He believes that a pad battery can support the power consumption of industrial cities in three months, which is already very awesome. But he never seemed to have thought that Mu Xing once said that the capital and Binhai City had disappeared due to excessive pollution, so he took Xi'an as an example of an industrial city - so she was actually talking about industrial cities in the 26th century!

At that time, they could create artificial celestial miracles like Dawn in the synchronous orbit of Jupiter. God knows how far their large-scale industrial development has reached!

From the hull approaches the stern, more than a dozen metal ropes stretched backwards - these metal ropes are only the thickness of ordinary ropes, soft enough to wrap around the wrists, but can drag a whole giant ship. Now, a cool and domineering "locomotive" is fixed in the front section of each of these metal ropes, which seem to ignite the engines one by one, ready to go.

A group of green-skinned men, carrying oxygen cylinders, rode on the convertible motorcycle very happily and prepared to set off! According to Ke Xue, these green-skinned orcs are naturally optimistic and lively and cute. Moreover, their green-skinned men are resistant to radiation, poison, cold and heat. Even without oxygen, they can lively continue to work in the universe for half an hour. The only flaw is the vigorous cyclical metabolism and miraculous curiosity, which leads to an overly short lifespan.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the organic matter is recycled, Kexue can quickly create another batch...

At this time, the green skins were wearing windscreens (shoulder wind be?), and each "double" dubbing started the motorcycle, dragging the metal rope behind them and flying towards the deep space! As long as they kept themselves in the shadows, they could ensure "basically safe life". The solar panels of the 26th century were like greedy gluttons, sucking everything from all kinds of rays to heat energy.

When they drove out of the spaceship's vision (thinking), they became more lively. The green skins who participated in the battle during the day took out their hidden flintlock rifles and began to shoot each other for fun. In order to ignite gunpowder in space, they even made a tube to connect the flintlock rifles to the oxygen cylinder... When the bullets were shot, they drove their companions' bodies into the recycling basket and let the backup drivers go to work - no wonder there were two green skins on each motorcycle!

After entering the asteroid belt, they selected the right meteorites and then fixed the metal ropes on it - those oxygen consumed by playing with muskets. By the way, they fixed themselves on it. Then with a "Yuhuh~", the metal ropes began to be put away, dragging the motorcycle, green skin and hundreds of tons of meteorites back together!

There is no need to take a detailed look in the middle process. Occasionally, the green skin is thrown out of the shadow by the rippling metal rope, and it will turn into a lump of coke with a "splitting" sound. This scene will only make the remaining green skins more exciting... So they chose another one and then launched...

In short, the loss rate of green skin in this mining reached 50%, and 1,750 tons of meteorites were successfully transported back. All the meteorites were concentrated at the waist of the hull, and then a huge probe was extended from the ship - yes, it was the laser cannon that Lu Yuan once despised!

This laser cannon that cleaned the channel "pushed!pushed!pushed!" was a few shots, completely smashing all the meteorites. Then the green skins pulled out the "vacuum cleaner" from the back of the motorcycle to clean up the universe... This mining officially ended.

Pour the mineral powder back into the centrifuge and you can easily select the minerals in the first step.

As for the miners - the injured and dead greenskins were sent to the workshop, and a few hours later, another group of fresh and happy greenskins...

The working environment here makes even the most unreliable human rights fighters unable to bear it.

...

So Lu Yuan closed his eyes and switched the surveillance camera to the bottom of the spacecraft's patio.

Now he is performing his captain's duties in his office. First of all, he will become familiar with the basic situation of the spacecraft, but only Green Skin and Snake Demon are currently working.

Lu Yuan lay bored on his floating chair, just like Mu Xing had done it.

Because this is not a warship, it is not very handsome. The bridge that gathers everyone and then gets shot out is so, you understand, there is no Shenma front cockpit and super large and dazzling portholes!

When he asked for a porthole, he obtained a super-large office located in the dome - the armored panels and solar panels that form the dome behind are both translucent, and are even on the same floor as the main room, just behind different spiral arms. Below the dome with a diameter of 35 kilometers, there are many such independent rooms of large and small size.

Outside the window is a corner of the familiar "red giant". Its surface is boiling like sea water, with a prompt marked "There is still 45 days, seven hours and forty-three minutes for the next star burst." So, looking at these real-time monitoring data and labels, you will never know whether you are facing a window or a monitor.

On the other side of the porthole, there is a display that clearly states that it must be a monitor, six meters wide... The scene in the spacecraft was displayed. When Ms. Liming "showed her muscles" to him, she opened a patio that penetrated up and down to the center of the spacecraft, and instantly raised the level of the Dawn to the A+ scenic area.

These patios are still open now, but each layer is covered with transparent floors (I won’t say it’s a shame for glass…). Now only the seventeenth deck is open. Through the floor, you can see many snake tails swimming around... There is really nothing to peek at! Ke Xue has created many six-armed snake demons as experimental assistants. It is said that their IQ is good, so they have to shorten the recycling cycle.

Of course, there are also some people who drive forklifts to deliver goods... Wait! Switch the camera back for me!

Your sister, the person who is now happily driving a forklift, wandering around and helping around - isn't it Li Huamei?!

*******

In short, although Dawn stored materials that could build several interstellar warships in the past, they could not move at all. Those were planned, and each material had several uses. For example, if the prepared A situation did not occur, then the material would be automatically converted to C for use, and there would be E and H for later.

So the Dawn is like a locked warehouse. Even if people are about to starve to death, they still have to follow the plan little by little.

But now it is different. With a new source of supplements, although all except gold are ordinary materials, Ms. Liming can still make her big fuss. Green appeared in the battleship, and some cabins completed a closed internal circulation. As AI, Ms. Liming favored nature very much... and expressed extreme indignation at Lu Yuan sending her to lubricate her friends!

The living conditions in the hibernation cabin have improved. Although those people are still hibernating, their weight has increased and they no longer linger on the edge of sub-health. People living in the virtual world have expressed their mental health recently and their quality of life has improved.

Moreover, during the hundreds of years of travel, Dawn has accumulated a lot of problems, ranging from abnormal noise to the loss of contact in the entire area, and the front deck being damaged (Erona said she was completely unaware). Now we can start to solve it gradually.

...Although in just a few days, Dawn has already seen a thriving scene.

Ms. Liming was paying attention to any slight changes on the ship, and everyone could almost always see her smile - except Lu Yuan. After he sent the lubricant, he was on Ms. Liming's list of enemies...

However, when Lu Yuan's camera occasionally swept across the Kingdom of God, he saw Annie and Ding Mumu sitting on the cliff and looking into the distance...

It looks particularly lonely.

Lu Yuan's heart moved and put down the electronic board in his hand.

He adjusted the camera in place, let the two people's avatars fill the entire screen, then leaned into the chair and watched quietly.

"... Have you seen your craftsman?"

He heard Ding Mumu and Annie say. It seemed that Annie had gone to a world to find her past teacher... Lu Yuan thought for a moment, wasn't her real teacher the famous Knight King, Artoria?

Anne shook her head, "It can be said that she met, or she didn't see her... The job introduction is Saber, indeed, Artoria's heroic spirit, but she is not my teacher, and there is no existence in her memories."

Ding Mumu listened, the two of them were silent back to back.

After a while, Ding Mumu suddenly said, "Do you want to know Ayuan's past?"

"Of course!" Annie's eyebrows were thrust.

"I want to know too..." Ding Mumu's voice was a little lonely.
