Arknights? Colonization Ark!

but……

"As long as he is still on this snowy plain, we will meet again."

"But he doesn't seem to know that we are the Integration Movement, nor that we are infected."

This sentence suddenly enlightened Tallulah. The other party seemed to be unaware of all this. She didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but thinking back now, there were indeed a lot of problems.

If the Colombians came to this snowy plain, it would be impossible for them to hide it from the Ursus garrison. Since they came, how could they not know about the guerrilla integration movement in the local area?

And many of the foods he brought out were things Tallulah had never seen before...

"Everyone has their own secrets. If we dig deeper, the deal won't go on. For us right now, food is the most important thing."

food……

Yelena took a can of yellow peaches and squatted down to share the fruit with Tallulah among the children, but she seemed absent-minded and no one knew what she was thinking.

That guy can't be an alien, right?

I am broken

Damn

I calculated the power consumption of a mobile city

Too scary.

Assuming that Chernobog's area is 150 square kilometers and its height is 200 meters, it weighs at least several hundred billion tons.

Even if we calculate based on the lowest speed of 5 kilometers per hour

The fuel consumption ratio is about 10 Big Ivans per kilometers.

shit

In this case, even if the calorific value of Originium is thirty times that of coal, burning 10,000 tons a day would not be enough to move it.

I have to recalculate the calorific value of Originium.

Otherwise, we can just muddle through Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

Chapter 15: The Magic Stone

After Zhang Miao separated from the Integration Movement, he started racing on the road. He still had things to do.

The initial goal was not only to find a long-distance supply point outside, but also to find a water source near the colony ship.

He did not ask Yelena and the others for a map of the nearby area, nor did he ask about nearby water sources. Although the girl named Yelena was very cute, there were some things that he still had to be vigilant about.

After the power supply is put in place, both the smelting and chemical industries consume the most water, and the water in the colonial ship's water tank alone is simply not enough.

The water source detector did not find any groundwater nearby, but fortunately there was no ground water, otherwise it would be troublesome to drill holes and let water seep in later. It is more convenient to find a ground water source.

If the power supply is restored, there will be no need for such trouble. We can just launch a satellite into the sky and see everything.

But in fact, it didn't take long to search. From the time the two sides separated to the time they found the water source, it took less than an hour.

And this water source is not small.

Zhang Miao looked at the large lake in front of him, surrounded by mountains. There was already a layer of ice several feet thick on the surface of the azure water. As time went by, it might eventually grow to nearly one meter.

At that time, some transport vehicles will be able to travel easily on it.

A rough estimate shows that the lake is more than 100 square kilometers in size and is about 30 kilometers away from the colonial ship, which is not particularly far.

It’s just that laying the pipes is a bit troublesome. There are no ready-made pipes, so we have to do it ourselves.

Although there are a lot of metal reserves, they still need to be used sparingly before large-scale steelmaking can be achieved.

Fortunately, although he cannot mine now, there are still enough trees on this land. After special processing into carbon fibers and then mixed with other materials to make polymers, they can basically meet most of his current needs.

The one ton of Originium in the car is not enough to start production, but we don’t have to wait long. We will start drilling holes tomorrow. As long as we start refining the Originium, everything will be able to operate normally.

Although the maximum power of that thermal power generator is only 70 kW, it is not needed to power the plasma thrusters and shield generators. It is just a mini zero-gravity smelter with an annual output of only tons, a large number of production lines and some chemical equipment. As long as it is not fully operational, it can still be powered.

Once we find the ocean and find a way to extract deuterium, we will have a chance to restart the fusion reactor, and then we won’t have to worry about electricity anymore.

At least not for a long time.

After returning to the colony ship, he ran to check the equipment that might be used tomorrow night.

Although ten thousand years is a long time, it is still within the design life. After all, on the time scale of the universe, ten thousand years is just a blink of an eye. In addition, the territory of the empire is ridiculously large, and no one knows what will happen. Therefore, when designing the service life, designers usually extend it as much as possible within the controllable cost range.

Crystal coating is applied to almost all material fields, so most devices do not need to worry about oxidation or aging.

Of course, if you insist on making it work like 007 every day, you can't blame it for dying suddenly on the road that day.

"Lexington, send these Originium to the research lab for basic property analysis. I'll be there soon."

"receive."

Then, before dark, he followed the same pattern and blew open the back door of the colonial ship with explosives, which would probably be used soon.

He must hurry. If he waits until the permafrost melts, the subsequent construction will become much more difficult, with mud everywhere and large vehicles unable to even get out of the door.

It was already dark when I returned to the laboratory.

"how is the situation?"

Zhang Miao, who changed into a research suit, asked Lexington about the results of his analysis of the Originium.

"There may be errors in the previous analysis of the mineral scanner. Originium is not a normal high-energy mineral, and its energy index cannot be expressed through traditional data."

Lexington was clearly a projection, but he suddenly changed into a teacher's uniform, with a blackboard appearing beside him and a pointer in his hand, pointing at it.

"Originium is not a common high-energy compound. It is more like a single carbon substance, composed of a basic unit that is chemically similar to carbon atoms. The energy index of the scanner refers to the total energy released after the chemical bonds between one kilogram of Originium atoms are broken."

Zhang Miao looked at the projection of the Originium atom in front of him, thinking while reaching out to operate it, and after a moment he continued to ask

"Its chemical bonds don't seem to be stable. Wouldn't it be easy to explode?"

"This is the weird part. After several rounds of testing, I found that Originium has a very strong energy absorption effect on kinetic energy and thermal energy radiation, but the temperature does not change at all. The energy seems to have disappeared out of thin air. This is a physical property that has never been seen in other substances."

"But its energy absorption effect is limited to low-intensity stable energy sources. If the intensity changes too much or the temperature is too high, it is very likely to cause a large amount of source stone energy to overload and break, thus causing an explosion. The power is probably higher than that of TNT of the same mass."

Lexington's answer caught him off guard.

"Higher? It should be many times higher? Hmm... Is it that the energy absorption reaction of the Originium is still working, and the strength of the Originium bond that became smaller after the explosion has increased?"

"But this is still not right. This amount of energy is far from enough to meet the energy consumption of a civilization. It is not even as good as coal. Moreover, energy cannot disappear out of thin air. It must be hidden somewhere."

"Did you find anything else?"

Zhang Miao continued to ask Lexington

"After multiple activation explosions for one gram of Originium, the remaining Originium dust is difficult to react. If it continues to be activated, the N value will be lower than 1. It is almost the same as the unknown particles in the air, and its mass has almost no change before and after the reaction."

"almost?"

Such vague words should not appear for a quantum computer.

"Yes, after the reaction, its mass increased to 5.973*10∧-26 kilograms, the mass of 3 Originium atoms."

So the energy absorbed by it is converted into mass? This is impossible. How can it do this without external high temperature and pressure?

This is impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

“Could it be an environmental error?”

"It is possible that this is due to experimental errors caused by the purity of the Originium samples. Further verification is needed."

Maybe it’s not an error. Energy is conserved and cannot disappear out of thin air.

Maybe this is true...

"Let's continue the experiment."

When he woke up the next morning, Lexington, contrary to his usual behavior, did not tease Zhang Miao. He must have understood that he had become immune to these harmless little tricks. At least, he could not do anything to him until he had his own physical body.

"This is your home court tonight, Lexington. You have to make me, the captain, proud."

As he was getting ready to go, Zhang Miao joked to his AI:

"If I complete your mission perfectly, what reward can you give me, Captain~"

The last sound was drawn out very long, gentle and charming with a hint of profound meaning, which gave Zhang Miao goose bumps.

A male creature with normal sexual orientation, without knowing that Lexington is an AI, would probably fall into her hands within three days.

Zhang Miao helplessly spread his hands

"What do you think I can give you?"

Lexington smiled mischievously. As a holographic projection, her expressions were much richer than those of humans.

"Then I'll keep the debt for now. It won't be too late to pay it back after the captain gives me the body. I'm not in a hurry."

Damn it, how did my AI become like this!

"Wait a minute, you'll have the final say then."

How could AI have sexual desire? It's just a manifestation of intelligence.

Zhang Miao didn't believe that she would really climb into his bed and do something bad. If her personality could evolve to this level, the empire would have banned her long ago.

We are going to carry out an offensive operation tonight, so we must find the right equipment. A single electromagnetic rifle will definitely not be enough.

Of course it has to be big!

But it cannot be too big, as it might attract the attention of the Integration Movement.

40mm semi-automatic smart grenade launcher HAKKE is just right

Although it is one of the last chemical gunpowder weapons, I have to admit that it is really useful.

The target and related data provided by the personal terminal can be imported into the smart grenade. After launch, it can automatically cruise in search of the target. Combined with 60mm penetration and laser guidance, it is simply a fantasy to hide.

Combined with thermobaric bombs, hiding in fortifications usually means a miserable death.

Zhang Miao directly took out dozens of high-explosive armor-piercing shells and thermobaric shells. He is not afraid of your large numbers and he guarantees that they will be enough!

The Empire has never been in the habit of showing mercy to its enemies.

Then he went to the infirmary and got a few bottles of medical biological gel and hemostatic bandages.

It was not for him, but for the people of the Integration Movement. He didn't think the local natives had the ability to penetrate his armored shield.

Why are you hiring people to mine with this kind of ability? You must be crazy.

These people will be useful later. Once the project is up and running, it will make quite a lot of noise. He needs someone to attract Ursus' attention to buy him some time.

Although I am not afraid of the enemy's army approaching or something like that, it would be impossible to farm quietly if people are watching me.

So leave a good impression to facilitate subsequent cooperation.

Besides, Zhang Miao is alone now and still in the desolate wilderness. It is still unclear whether he can contact the empire.

Moreover, all the fertilized eggs that are about to mature have died. If you don’t want to fight with local wild animals all day long, it is necessary to have a friendly partner.

He picked out another two-person armored vehicle from the garage and threw all the weapons and other items into the trunk.

There are enough cars in the garage for him to drive one a day for three months without having to change them.

Rich and willful!

As a civilian armored vehicle, although it still uses the old 30MM caliber intelligent machine gun, it is still easy to blow up a car.

However, the personal armor is still the earliest one. It is not the best in terms of performance. I buy it for its appearance.

Chapter 16: Before the Night

Before seeing the father that Yelena and the others were talking about, Zhang Miao thought he should be a tall, sturdy, middle-aged man with a weathered figure.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, he still underestimated the complexity of the organism.

How did a 2.2-meter-tall strong man with deer antlers and a helmet give birth to a 1.6-meter-tall girl with rabbit ears?
