Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

However, the number is a little less.

It should be because the functions of the "Iron Slave" mining boat and the mining barge overlap.

Carrying twenty "Iron Slaves" mining boats is only for emergencies.

Compared with the twenty "Iron Slave" mining boats, the number of slave labor mining machines is much larger.

A mining barge can carry 1000 "slave" mining machines.

Not only that, but the mining barge is also equipped with a large number of laser mine cannons.

A total of 64 seats are scattered on the upper, lower, left, and right decks of the hull.

There is also a large laser mine cannon on its bow, which can effectively smash super large asteroids.

This type of laser mine cannon is a weaker version of laser weapons.

The principle is the same as the laser rifle in the hands of the Astral Army, the enlarged version of the laser weapon,
Low power, short range, sustainable, short-range power is good, but it does not have the ability to fight the enemy at a long distance.

It can be used against the enemy, but the ability against the enemy is weak.

There is nothing to say about transport ships and engineering ships.

The transport ship is an empty shell, and unnecessary equipment is almost removed, and the warehouse space is increased as much as possible.

The weapons were not completely removed, and some close-in autocannons remained.

The engineering ship is an industrial ship with a small factory on it.

Metal refining and forging can be carried out on engineering ships.

It can carry five hundred "slave labor" engineering machines.

What's your name?

The expression on his face was thoughtful, and Li Meng showed a thoughtful look.

Still don't be too casual.

After all, these three new ships may be used for a long time in the future.

For decades or hundreds of years, that is very little.

Gotta get a name that fits their industrial type well.

After much deliberation, Li Meng still gave up.

He really doesn't have the talent for naming, so the troublesome thing is left to his subordinates.

Thinking of this, Li Meng said: "The ship was designed by the Mechanicus, let the Mechanicus name it."

Things like this were trivial, and he didn't have to get involved.

After saying that, Li Meng looked at Otis.

"Set sail immediately after returning, leave the S-01888 star system as soon as possible, and leave the acquisition of resources to the industrial ship."

Ark One was slow, very slow.

It will take at least several months to leave the S-01888 star system.

This is not completely leaving, but only reaching the star field at the edge of the star system.

After all, the radiation range of a star system is still very large.

Although the speed of Ark One can reach one-third of the speed of light through continuous acceleration.

But this process is extremely long and takes several years, even ten years.

One-third the speed of light?

Fast, of course, but not fast enough.

In the empires of the old days, many ships were not equipped with warp engines and could not travel far for commerce.

Between stars, the trade between star systems is completely dependent on the sub-light speed engine.

Through continuous acceleration, the limit speed of most of the empire's ships can reach seven tenths of the speed of light, or even higher.

Even so, interstellar trade takes years, if not decades, of travel time.

Not to mention inter-stellar trade, some people will spend their entire lives on the ship.

Some ships even served thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years.

Batch after batch of old people have been sent away, and batch after batch of newcomers have also been ushered in.

Otis lowered his head slightly and replied, "Yes!"

Li Meng looked at Donald again.

"The Temple and the Gate of Time and Space must also accompany the Ark One, Donald, and the Mechanicus will be responsible for this matter."

After several years of construction, the Sanctuary is still unfinished.

The progress is about 40.00% complete.

After all, it is a big guy, and its history is destined to be very long, so there is no rush.

In order to build the Sanctuary, the tin gold mines in the entire star ring were almost exhausted.

At present, the reserves of Star Ring Sikkim are very low, and it is no longer seen everywhere.

No longer as before, looking around, there are tin gold mines everywhere.

Catching any asteroid will yield tin gold ore from it.

It is no longer possible. The "Iron Slave" mining ship must go to the star ring to scan and explore to find tin gold mines.

This is also the reason why Li Meng is eager to move to the S-01919 star system.

Only the rich mineral deposits in the S-01919 star system can support the construction of the Sanctuary.

Turning around, Li Meng came to the glass wall.

He looked at the Sanctuary and the Gate of Time and Space in the distant starry sky.

The Sanctuary is inconspicuous and dark in color, blending into the dark starry sky.

It's hard to see clearly if you don't look carefully.

But the Gate of Time and Space is different. The existence of the light curtain makes it exude milky white brilliance.

From a distance, you can see a bright but not dazzling light curtain.

Slightly waving his hand, Li Meng said: "Go ahead, just do your own thing well, the difficulties are only temporary, and this hurdle will always be overcome."

Otis, Donald lowered his head slightly, saluting the sky eagle.

He took a few steps back, then turned and left.

In the long corridor outside the door, Otis quickened his pace and caught up with Donald.

"Sage Donald, what happened recently?"

If not, how could the "king" let him drive Ark One to the dark star field.

Donald did not stop, and continued to move forward.

A mechanical, hoarse voice sounded from the hood.

"Governor Otis, you shouldn't ask me, you should ask your wife, she knows more than I do what you want to know."

Hearing this, Otis touched his nose.

He didn't dare, if he really asked, he would be blamed.

He was just curious about the recent situation of the new empire, but he didn't want to make trouble for himself.

In the long corridor, the figures of the two gradually faded away.

"Wang, you have been running around and busy these past few months. You should take a few days off."

Stepping to Li Meng's side, Irina said softly.

Looking back at Mrs. Irina beside him, Li Meng was speechless, and then looked back at the starry sky outside.

He is a man who can live at leisure. If he can, he doesn't want to go anywhere.

He would never get tired of staying on Yuanxing for hundreds or even thousands of years.

If he could, he could even return to the Emperor's side, close his eyes, and wake up after a thousand or ten thousand years.

But can he do it?
Of course not, the future of the New Empire was in his hands.

He can't be idle, can't stay in this gentle town, at least not now.

"There's always time to spare..."

After saying something for no apparent reason.

The space in front of Li Meng suddenly distorted.

The space seemed to be torn apart, turning into a hideous purple-red vortex.

Taking a step forward, Li Meng stepped into it.

In the eyes of Mrs. Irina, Irene, and Allie, Li Meng disappeared into the whirlpool.

Following Li Meng's disappearance, the crack in the subspace collapsed rapidly and disappeared.
