Interstellar arena

Courageous Enterprise!

When Liu Feifei approached the crowded and powerful spaceship, he couldn't help being stunned. He hadn't left the Brave Enterprise for 20 days, but the place where the Brave Enterprise made an emergency landing had completely changed.

This place has turned into a huge construction site, and some construction machinery is busy in full swing.

With the Brave Enterprise as the core, a radius of one kilometer has been cleaned up. The silt and stagnant water have completely disappeared, replaced by some gravel. Around the Brave Enterprise, scaffolding has been built. Under the scaffolding , It turned out to be some hardened ground, and the Valiant Enterprise, which was stuck in the mud, has actually risen up, revealing the damaged parts that were thought to be forced to land. Obviously, the damaged external structure of the Valiant Enterprise is already preparing for repair, and the progress is very fast .

If it wasn't for the huge Brave Enterprise right in front of him, Liu Fei almost thought he was in the wrong place.

"Mr. Liu, please enter the main control room of the Bravery Enterprise." When Liu Fei drove Zhu Rong to land, Burleigh's voice immediately sounded in the air.

Burleigh introduced the current situation to Liu Fei in detail.

It turned out that after Burleigh returned to the Brave Enterprise, he immediately prepared for the repair of the Brave Enterprise in the future, and began to use the engineering mecha to clean up the surrounding mud and water to prevent the mud and water from entering the damaged cabin. , It was discovered that the excavated stones were rich in high-grade iron ore.

Everyone simply kept on doing nothing, and when digging iron ore around them, they simply built a base with the rocks excavated around the Brave Enterprise and prepared for long-term stationing.

Undoubtedly, Burleigh's decision is correct. Judging from the situation in front of him, it is impossible to repair the Brave Enterprise in the short term. Building it into a base can also resist aggression.

"How long can the current energy last?" This is the question Liu Fei is most worried about. Once the energy of the Brave Enterprise is exhausted, all work will stop.

"Mr. Liu, the energy of the Bravery Enterprise can last at least 200 years, or even longer. In fact, what we are facing is not an energy problem. Our lack of energy is mainly due to the damage of the main engine during the forced landing. To make the Bravery Enterprise It is necessary to repair the main engine. Of course, this is only one of many problems. Now we are not only an energy problem, but also some of the interrelationships among material composition, structure, process, properties and performance. For complex issues, we lack many resources now, and they are interpenetrating and comprehensive, for example, even repairing the outer shell of a spacecraft will involve electronics, physics, expansion, smelting, chemistry, etc..."

"Don't complicate the matter." Liu Fei frowned and interrupted Burleigh.

"To put it simply, we lack basic industries. Even if it is a gasket or a special-shaped screw, we need to build a huge factory." Burleigh said with a wry smile.

"Do we have the technology?"

"Yes, but there are very few technologies that are really useful. This is not the seven star fields. You can buy anything you want as long as you place an order. Here, we have to manufacture everything ourselves, as I said at the beginning, This requires a large and well-established industrial system to complete, and now we have nothing..."

"Then start from the most basic and use all the things that can be used. If it can't be done in one year, it will be two years, and if it can't be done in two years, it will be three years!" Liu Fei said word by word.

"Yes, there is no better way at present. As long as we don't want to let the Brave Enterprise take off, energy is not a problem. The auxiliary engine of the Brave Enterprise can meet the basic energy requirements. Moreover, according to the recent geological survey data, we Alternative energy sources will soon be found, but now the troublesome thing is the lack of some metals, although we have inexhaustible iron ore, but that can only manufacture some of the most primitive machinery.”

"Then let's start with the most primitive one." Liu Fei nodded.

"Also, we are short of manpower now. Our total number is only 50, and many of them are unable to carry out scientific research. If we waste time on elementary engineering, not to mention three years, even 300 years, we will not be able to restore bravery. Enterprise!"

"Well, if manpower is not a problem, the straight-line distance from here to Weijiaji is estimated to be about [-] kilometers. If a road is built to get there, how long will it take?"

"It depends on what level of road to build. Our engineering armor is very efficient. Moreover, the waste ore excavated and the slag after smelting can be used to pave the road. If it is just a simple gravel road, ten kilometers can be paved in a day. The quality If the standard is higher, at least five kilometers, eighty kilometers can be paved, and it can be completed in 20 days at most."

"So fast?" Liu Fei couldn't help but doubt the data provided by Burleigh.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, I once mined on a planet, and the highest record was [-] kilometers a day." Burleigh laughed.

"I remember that Zhuo Erxing needs several months to build a road, and some take several years." Liu Fei looked puzzled.

"No, no, Mr. Liu, you can't compare with the Seven Star Regions. First of all, the road surfaces of the Seven Star Regions are very particular. In addition to load bearing, pipes, optoelectronics, monitoring, cables, etc. are also taken into consideration. The most important thing is that the environment and ecological balance must not be damaged. For an animal, it is necessary to build a passage. Determine the route in the air, and then dig a deep trench directly along the route, with the floating heads piled on both sides, and then use the suspension truck to transport sand, gravel and slag to fill the deep trench to the height of the floating soil, and a solid simple road is completed. Don’t underestimate it. This kind of road, tens of tons of mechs will not enter the lower limit, I am worried about the manpower problem now..."

"Yes, yes, manpower is not a problem, but it is a problem that people from Ideal Star can't drive those mechanical equipment."

"This is simple. We use the optical brain of the Bravery Enterprise for intelligent control, scan the data from the line, and then use the master optical brain of the Bravery Enterprise for remote control. The driver only needs to press the button according to the instructions of the master optical brain. It’s done, for the sake of insurance, we can even set limits to avoid accidents caused by improper operation.”

"Okay, you temporarily stop other work, first fix this road, when can you start?"

"Considering that some equipment needs to be modified, such as changing the suspension vehicle to automatically load and unload the suspension vehicle, and expanding this place enough to stop all the suspension vehicles... There is no need to build a place to live, and the brave enterprise can accommodate thousands of people It's not a problem... By the way, what are we building roads for?"

"Weijiaji, where Wei Xiong lives, has rebelled. In order to find the ore we need on Ideal Star, we must support them in defeating the Utopian Republic. After this road is repaired, we can continuously provide them with weapons. .”

"Weapons... cold weapons?"

"Can a thermal weapon be made?"

"There are difficulties at the moment. It requires a huge military industrial system. We can't produce things like laser guns at all. The problem of energy bars alone can't be solved. However, some ancient guns can be manufactured. Of course, then It also takes a long time. It is said that a simple bullet is very particular about its structure. It consists of four parts: the bullet, the shell, the propellant and the primer. The bullet is composed of the core and the armor. There are two kinds of shells and boxer. The shell material is generally brass, copper-clad steel and painted steel. The armor material is generally brass, copper-clad steel and nickel. The primer is generally made of brass. Generally, bullets will have ordinary bullets. Blank bombs, inert training rounds, dyed training rounds, micro-acoustic rounds, high-pressure rounds, hollow point rounds, armor-piercing rounds and tracer rounds. Large-caliber machine gun rounds will have armor-piercing rounds, armor-piercing incendiary rounds, high-explosive rounds, double-headed rounds, etc. There are more types of special bullets, and there are more types of shotguns..."

"You make bullets?" Liu Fei found that there are many similarities between Boli and Xiaoqiang Guangnao.

"Ahem... I used to be a lecturer in a military museum, and later I studied interstellar finance..." Burleigh looked embarrassed.

"..." Liu Fei was speechless for a moment.

"Mr. Liu, in the era of the earth's interstellar development, because of the risk of interstellar travel, many practices have been formed. For example, any spaceship will carry some basic scientific and technological materials and equipment, and even some seeds. After human beings are exiled to some wild planets, even if they cannot return to the earth, they can rely on the science and technology on the spacecraft to build a human society. All have retained this tradition, and as a man-made Kodo Space, they have always retained this habit. When we selected 50 people, in addition to finance and business, there were also some very professional scientists. , and chemistry have deep attainments."

That's it!

Liu Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Burleigh was ambitious, which stemmed from their self-confidence.

Of course, Liu Fei didn't expect that these fifty people, but Xiao Qiangguang had put some thought into it. They are the best among them in Koduo Space City, no matter what industry they are in.
