Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Although it is the size of a pistol, its power is still very deadly at short distances. The advantages of the MLE-14 electromagnetic rifle produced by World Union Industries lie in its portability and assembly, and its range and power are adjustable. In theory, in sniper rifle form, it can easily hit a space battleship in the stratosphere with one shot.

Although for warships that are hundreds of meters long, a one-centimeter-wide spike flying from such a distance is no different from a mosquito bite.

Not even as annoying as mosquitoes.

Those soldiers were armed with knives and crossbows, posing no threat to me, and it was unlikely that they had any weapons that could break through my armored defenses.

So he stood in front of the car without planning to find any cover.

This car is not as hard as his.

Hey, why did these natives force me to kill?

......

Yelena has been eyeing this transportation route for a long time. Because the garrison suffered heavy losses in supplies, the number of escorted soldiers on the original route was much larger than before, and the search was also very intense.

If the activities continued, the Integration Movement might suffer heavy casualties, so she chose to change location.

Trucks loaded with ore pass by here around ten o'clock every day, and then three hours later, several trucks will follow the same route to deliver supplies to the mine.

Not the same trucks.

They have been waiting here since before dawn.

Rough Originium ore is of no use to the Reunion Movement, so we have no intention of taking action against them.

Shortly after they arrived at the ambush site, a guy about the same age as the old stubborn man sneaked to about one kilometer away from their ambush site and installed a car-blocking cable and an electric motor.

The two were one kilometer apart, which was beyond the detection range of the personal radar carried on Zhang Miao's armor, so he did not notice that there was a third person here.

Some members wanted to go up and drive the other party away, but were stopped by Yelena.

After all, such a big guy looks like he is not easy to deal with, and he might have companions.

It is not a wise decision to rush into a conflict without knowing the number and purpose of the other party.

But then Yelena lost her composure. That guy stopped the mine cart team and killed all the soldiers.

It’s not that she’s kind or anything, but if the mine carts don’t arrive at several checkpoints on the road on time, the material transport trucks will change to another route.

She thought the other party was also aiming for supplies, but who knew he would go for the mine cart.

Those carts of crude Originium Ore are useless! Without refining equipment, they are no different from stones!

The supply vehicles will definitely have to change their routes now, and who knows how long it will take to re-scout the route. The supplies for the integration movement are already in short supply, and all the original plans have been ruined by this guy.

Yelena, who was a little angry, waved her hand, and more than 40 members of the Snow Monster Team followed her to the scene of the car accident.

Although I don't know how the other party managed to kill so many soldiers at once, they are also the elites of the Integration Movement. With me here, even if the opponent is my father, I can escape unscathed.

And there will definitely be conflicts, it’s just a matter of communicating to see if we can figure out the other party’s identity.

After all, having one more friend in this land always brings more convenience.

When Yelena and the others reached the front of the convoy, Zhang Miao was already pointing an electromagnetic pistol at them, but just in case, he did not choose to open fire first.

Because of the distance and time, it is impossible for the nearby soldiers to arrive.

Maybe it was an accident. He doesn't have the habit of killing indiscriminately.

Yelena found that she and others had been discovered by the other party. She suppressed the crossbow pointed at Zhang Miao by her companion and walked out from hiding.

She was confident that she could erect a solid wall of ice in front of her before the other party made a move.

"@￥%@%＆…"

Can't understand

But it doesn't matter. The Empire's translation system is very powerful. In order to cope with the language communication problems of hundreds of different civilizations, this one was finally developed at the cost of the hair of thousands of programmers and linguists.

Theoretically, as long as the other party speaks a few words, the translation system can translate the other party's entire language.

Not only Yelena was talking, the members behind her were also whispering as they looked at the armor on Zhang Miao and the corpses scattered around, which greatly facilitated his translation of the language.

Translating...

"Who are you and why are you killing these soldiers?"

Zhang Miao found it a little funny when he heard the other party's question.

who am I?

I'm afraid you won't believe it even if I tell you.

Can I say I am here to colonize you?

Open the door! Free trade!

Chapter 3: The Bad Colonists

Yes, Zhang Miao is a captain of a colonial ship.

But he is not the kind of bandit colonizer who comes for people's scalps.

I just want to find a primitive planet with a good ecosystem to colonize.

But due to some minor problems, he was swept away by the space turbulence during the subspace jump.

The Federation's only colonization effort in tens of thousands of years ultimately ended in failure.

As a colonial pioneer, Zhang Miao went from being a hero to a martyr.

No one knows why the warp went wrong, but it was like a pig hitting a tree.

Although the probability is small, you can't say there is no possibility.

When Zhang Miao found himself encountering space turbulence, he wanted to pull out his gun and give the four vendors' mothers a close encounter.

Don't get me wrong, this is not Warhammer.

He was originally a good citizen of Earth, but somehow he was sent to another world by a truck.

When he grew up, he found that he was living in a future world that was only slightly more advanced than the Earth.

The difference in technological level is probably just that of a few technological revolutions.

Lighting a planet is similar to lighting a cigarette, and the average life expectancy is four or five hundred years.

But unfortunately, the people here are not enterprising and development has stagnated for more than 10,000 years, and even the level of science and technology has been regressing recently.

Yes, he traveled to a human federation and was living off his past glory.

He was ambitious and worked hard, and finally, when he was forty years old, he still had five hundred years to work for the resources to apply for a colonial ship.

My parents passed away and left behind a large fortune.

It's about 30 million federal coins.

What a windfall!

Although I knew that they made a lot of money from their business outside, I didn’t expect it to be so much!

Heartbroken Zhang Miao immediately decided to use the money to fulfill his dream.

Go colonize an alien planet!

It's actually just going out for a camping trip!

But the Federation has stopped expanding for some time, and even colony ships are no longer being produced.

In desperation, he had to use his connections to find a retired warship in the museum, and then commissioned it to a shipyard to transform it into a colonial ship.

Even the AI ​​of the colony ship was created by him personally, and it is called Lexington!

But here is the problem.

He had no crew.

None of those cool guys who were used to living a carefree life on the Garden Planet were willing to go out and suffer with him.

Anyway, the automation technology is already very comprehensive. If no one wants to go, then no one will go. We can just get a batch of fertilized eggs and cultivate them when the time comes.

Then he gloriously set off in his own colonial ship amid everyone's farewell.

Now I just hope they can still remember me after they finish my funeral banquet.

But I guess they should have died a long time ago.

Zhang Miao also thought he was dead, but the colony ship crashed on a planet with a good ecosystem.

However, due to some unknown reasons, the hull was severely damaged. It was not until the last reactor stopped working that the emergency awakening program of the hibernation module woke Zhang Miao up.

When he woke up from the hibernation capsule, at least ten thousand years had passed. Even the longest-lived person would have turned into dust.

The battleship crashed into the frozen soil. Time flies and the world changes dramatically.

Nearly ten meters of frozen rock had accumulated on the colonial ship, and he had to dig it out with the help of an ore cutter in the warehouse.

After several days of observation, he confirmed that he was on an unnamed planet, and that there was a sub-human civilization on the planet, and its level was not low.

In order to get the colony ship back on line, he had to find a way to get fuel. Four of the six fusion reactors were destroyed, and a large amount of fuel was scattered in space. The remaining fuel and batteries stopped working after running for 10,000 years while keeping the ship's consumption at a minimum, and they couldn't even be re-ignited. (I know this is impossible, but this is the basic setting, so let's just do it this way)

The only thermal power generator unit had 12 high-energy fuel tanks, all of which were destroyed. He used a water pump to extract more than liters of fuel from the bottom of the tanks little by little, but it was less than one-tenth of a normal tank. Fortunately, this stuff was non-volatile, otherwise he would have been left with nothing.

Even if he activated the minimum power supply to supply the necessary infrastructure, it would only last for a month before he would be out of power!

Although thermal power generators can burn anything, including wood, they cannot burn as fast as other fuels, so we must find a proper high-energy fuel substitute.

Fortunately, according to the instructions of the large mineral detector in the colony ship, he discovered a local mine that was mining some kind of high-energy material. After observing for a few days, he decided to rob it.

Why don’t you communicate with others?

There were old people and children being enslaved as miners in the damn mine, and they were often abused. In this situation, he could guess what kind of people these people were with his toes.

Even more of a bandit than him!

Worse than bandits!

Pooh!

nausea!

So this plan came up, but he didn't expect that a third party would get involved and they just happened to run into each other.

Seeing that the white-haired and rabbit-eared female leader had no hostility, she chose to communicate instead.

Zhang Miao also put down the electromagnetic pistol in his hand

"Zhang Miao."

He only told the other party his name. As for the purpose of the action, he felt there was no need to tell the other party.

He simply put away his weapon and reached out to lift the canvas on the car.

A large amount of black-glowing ore appeared in front of everyone.

Yelena and the others have seen a lot of these things, and they are the main culprits that cause them harm.

Zhang Miao took out his ore scanner and analyzed the ores.

In just ten seconds, Lexington gave the data.

“The high-energy mineral content is less than 5 parts per thousand and needs to be re-refined in an electric arc furnace before it can generate electricity.”

NMD!

"屮!"

Zhang Miao cursed loudly, saying that these idiots didn’t even do the basic mineral crushing and centrifugation, but just did a simple screening and then transported the materials out.

The original plan was that if the content was higher than 20%, it could be burned directly, but less than 0.5%? Are you serious? Isn't this just a broken rock?

Move back to smelt minerals?

He didn't know how to drive a car here, and even if he carried it back on foot, the power consumption of starting the furnace would make him heartbroken. The three trucks of 20 tons of ore brought back were less than one-tenth of the furnace's capacity, so he was thankful to be able to refine a few dozen kilograms.

Moreover, we don’t know how much energy this high-energy substance contains. What if we end up losing money?

After wasting three days of his own time, he finally rushed into the mine and killed everyone, shooting them all!
