How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 557 Space Construction Project

Hope set out from Soli, and the commander-in-chief Myron served as the first captain of Hope. Propelled by a large amount of hydrogen-oxygen combustion chemical engines, the spacecraft headed towards the asteroid belt near Soli's revolution orbit at a speed of 13km/s. The speed is close, according to the time of the voyage plan, they will arrive at the destination, which is the asteroid belt, within one orbital time.

This time is neither long nor short. After a boring time of space travel, when the construction of the dungeon was still in full swing on Soli, the Hope led by Myron arrived at the small planetary belt.

Report! The airtightness of the fourth and fifth cabins has been broken! One person was injured and one person died!

Airtight sealing immediately! Get a few crew members to repair the damaged area from the outside!

It's too dangerous, or...

Nowhere is safe now! Follow orders! Myron roared.

Just getting closer, the asteroid belt gave Hope and its crew a welcome gift. The fist-sized meteorite easily crashed through the cabin of Hope. Unfortunately, there were two crew members in that cabin. , the head of one of them was directly smashed by the meteorite, and the tofu flower-like brain was floating in the zero-gravity environment.

Although Hope started to decelerate after sailing to a certain distance from the asteroid belt, and when it reached the outer edge of the asteroid belt, the speed dropped to 1km/s due to the deceleration of the engine, but this speed is still very high. The speed carried by the meteorite itself leads to a high relative speed. The metal shell of the Nozomi is not much different from that of paper for small meteorites.

Rather, it is really 'lucky' that Hope only paid such a small price.

After cleaning up the remains of a crew member, Hope continued to go deep into the asteroid belt, and the speed also dropped further, reaching the level of 500m/s.

The crew of the Nozomi leaned over the hanging window, looking at the environment outside the spaceship. With the dark stars as the background, the Nozomi Hope looked like an ant walking in a forest made of rocks.

Okay, everyone, get ready and board the shuttle boat for the outboard operation. You will feel sick when you see the scenes outside.

Myron pulled the thoughts of the crew back from the vast universe again, and under his order, the crew began to act.

One after another, small airships broke away from Hope, and they were fishing for small meteorites within a range of dozens of kilometers centered on Hope.

Of course, this kind of small is not the fist-sized meteorite encountered by the Nozomi before, but a meteorite with a diameter of several meters to tens of meters. If you describe it vividly, it is equivalent to the size of a cow to dozens of cows objects.

These meteorites will be dragged or dragged back to the Nozomi by the small airship, those tens of meters will be divided into multiple small pieces by a chainsaw, and those of one or two meters will be sent directly to the interior of the Nozomi.

At this time, it was the turn of the industrial machine tool equipped inside the Hope to take out the metal in the meteorite for industrial processing, and a large number of industrial parts were produced.

This is the purpose for which the Nozomi was built. It is an engineering ship for engineering construction in space. After these engineering parts are produced, they will basically flow in three directions, or they will be used to strengthen the Nozomi itself. To increase its protection, it is either used to combine industrial machine tools that are not equipped on the Hope, or it is used to build other spacecraft.

Outer space is a natural forging furnace. The vacuum has excellent heat insulation, and the only way to cool down is thermal radiation. If you want to smelt a certain alloy, you only need a large condenser lens to focus the light of the stars on the pile. On the smelted metal, heat continues to accumulate, and in a non-gravity vacuum environment, the solid metal body will gradually evolve into a liquid metal ball.

Then, a straw with a trumpet-shaped opening at one end was attached to the surface of the liquid alloy ball, and the liquid alloy ball was sucked into the mold by hydraulic method.

Using the waste heat of the mold, the crew's domestic sewage is turned into water vapor for recycling and reuse, and the alloy in the mold will be cooled down quickly, becoming an industrial component for the development and construction of the Carter Space Fleet.

The new spacecraft was manufactured after two months, because there was no need to consider the gravity of the planet, and the design of the construction was basically designed to consider its own use.

This new spaceship is a transport ship. Its purpose is very simple. It is to return to Soli and transport more people from there. Whether it is industrial development or fleet formation, a lot of people are required to participate. The fifty people on the Hope are just the beginning.

The interior space of the transport ship is designed to be as large as possible, because it needs to accommodate a lot of people. In Myron's fleet formation plan, the only thing Sori has to do is to provide people as a resource, and other resources are completely produced by Myron. Come out, including water, air, soil and so on.

After the transport ship left, some farmland space stations began to be built. These space stations were in the shape of a wheel. After the wheel-shaped space station rotated, it could use centrifugal force as gravity.

The outer side of the ring-shaped space station is a solar power generation panel, which is used to generate electricity for the space station, but it is not used for lighting crops. The Carters do not have such high-tech solar power generation panels, and the conversion rate is not high, maintaining the operation of the ring-shaped space station itself It is already very reluctant.

In the inner circle of the ring-shaped space station, there is also a circle of mirrors. These mirrors can reflect the light of the stars to the farmland in the space station. If someone stands in the farmland in the space station, he can see that there is such a Luminous and dazzling strips, some pillars extending from the 'ground' are connected with the strips.

In addition to these agricultural space stations, more engineering ships have been manufactured in an organic way. After the transport ships transport the population from Soli, they can immediately take over the engineering ships, and then go to other places in the asteroid belt Carry out the same industrial construction as Myron and the others.

One life is two, two is four, four is eight..., simple mathematical calculations, in this way, the number of spaceships of the Carter civilization will show a geometric increase, enough to collect one in a few decades. A fleet with sufficient combat power.

After the transport ship sailed for a year and arrived at Soli, it carried thousands of people to the asteroid belt at one time. These people were not as good as the fifty people on the transport ship. They were transported flat like container cargo. In a space just enough to accommodate them, behaviors such as excreting and eating basically did not change much. Many Carters regretted it after boarding the ship.

However, the transport ship was already on the way, and it was too late for them to regret it. Under the torment of such a small space, many Carters in the space fleet later liked to make their own activity space very large, and rather Compared with space, I yearn for the vast environment on the surface of the planet where I can move freely.

PS: Thinking of an interesting game, if you are interested, you can participate in it (\u003e\u003c)——Assume that you are one of the commanders and can mobilize almost all the resources of the Carter civilization. How do you plan to deal with the incoming amoeba?
