Arknights? Colonization Ark!

A somewhat weathered adult face appeared in the floor-length mirror in front of him.

Under the short black hair are a pair of bright eyes, and the sight from the black pupils is extremely penetrating, as if it can see through a person's secrets.

The resolute face like an axe carving is the legacy of serving in the army. After all, colonization is not a trip, and there is a lot to learn.

With a beard, he can directly COS an imperial marshal who has many good brothers worth fifty dollars.

He walked to the platform and let the robotic arm take off the rest of his equipment, leaving only a thin one-piece nano-lined protective suit.

It looks like a black thermal underwear, but in fact it has good defensive capabilities. It will automatically harden when attacked. Generally, sharp objects or small-caliber bullets cannot pose any threat to it. It also has a strong thermal insulation effect.

Even if he went to a place with a temperature of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius wearing this clothes, he would not feel cold.

It’s just that the hood is a bit ugly, with only a transparent membrane showing his mouth and two eyes, which easily reminds people of Phoenix Warriors and bank robbers, so he usually doesn’t wear it.

But this was the latest model at the time, unlike those weapons which could only be common goods or antiques that had been retired by the army for many years.

The entire equipment is neatly arranged with more than a dozen power armors or exoskeletons of different models and purposes, which can be equipped with different modules and used in different places.

The suit he was wearing before was military, and he wore it just for fun.

Wait for the disinfection process to be completed.

After opening the second hatch, Zhang Miao finally returned to the interior of the colonial ship.

In fact, this is no longer necessary. After several holes appeared in the cabin, and ten thousand years have passed, the airtightness has also failed due to low battery, and those who should have come in have already come in.

He could only say that he was lucky enough to land on a planet with such a high habitability. If it were a planet with a harsh environment, he would have become a Muggle.

A gentle and beautiful female figure was waiting for him at the door.

Chapter 7: Going off the track

Lexington is an AI created by Zhang Miao himself. Both its appearance and personality are very close to the character in his mind.

It's a pity that the Federation experienced a robot servant out of control incident many years ago. Although it was controlled before the situation got out of control, it was said that it caused considerable trauma. Therefore, there are strong restrictions on artificial intelligence, and AI is not allowed to be equipped with human bodies.

However, after so many years, this ban has become a decoration, and only the official still abides by this ban on the surface. Zhang Miao simply did not have the time to customize it. He originally wanted to wait until he arrived at the colony to make one himself, but now it seems that he will have to delay for a while.

"Oh, Captain, you're back so soon!"

Lexington acted like a virtuous wife waiting for her heartless husband to come home.

Then he said to Zhang Miao with a sly smile

"Captain, do you want to eat first, or take a shower first, or..."

At the end of the conversation, Lexington suddenly became a little shy, holding down her skirt with both hands, acting like a little woman, with her cheeks flushed.

"Eat me first?"

Zhang Miao bumped right past Lexington's projection and walked down the corridor without looking back.

Lexington's projection followed closely behind him, complaining as he walked.

"Captain, you really have no interest at all. You were so excited when you first met me, but it's only been a short time and you've lost interest in me."

Zhang Miao rolled his eyes when he heard that. Lexington liked to tease him all the time by taking advantage of the fact that he had no physical body. Over time, he got used to it.

The colonial ship he prepared for her was obtained from a museum. It was originally a flagship that had been in service for more than 700 years and had experienced several large-scale wars. After it was retired, it was bought back by the government of the mother planet that built it and placed in its own private museum for future generations to appreciate.

It has been quietly in the museum for more than 20,000 years. The museum is facing bankruptcy crisis. This flagship occupies a large area and the annual maintenance fee is sky-high. Just in time, Zhang Miao came to the door, and the owner simply sold it to him at the price of scrap iron.

But this also cost him a full 10 million.

The museum has obviously put a lot of effort into maintenance, and even after so much time has passed, you can't tell that it has been there for thousands of years.

The money spent on it could almost rebuild a small personal ship.

After the entire ship was renovated, it was 1.7 kilometers long, 319 meters high, 476 meters wide, and weighed 2639W tons.

It was considered a big ship even among the warships in service at that time.

There are 36 floors in total, some sections occupy several floors, such as the power room, which occupies 12 floors.

If you spread it out, it can be considered a small city.

From mining, production, assembly to planting, this colony ship can handle everything by itself.

The six original large fusion reactors can supply all the electricity consumption of the entire ship and will also be the entire source of electricity for the first colony in the future.

The Federation's antimatter engines are close to being eliminated, but they are under very tight control. They are impossible to get through normal channels, and they are all sold at sky-high prices on the black market. The antimatter engines of retired spacecraft will also be dismantled and either installed on other ships or scrapped. Therefore, nuclear fusion reactors are still the mainstream among the people. It's fine as long as they are sufficient. Who uses a single-molecule blade to cut vegetables?

The same goes for weapons. What civilians can get is very limited, even if it is a colonial ship.

The ship had already suffered serious damage after being swept out of the subspace channel by the space turbulence, and was also hit by an unknown attack during the forced landing.

Most of the cabins of the colony ship suffered varying degrees of damage, with the tail and waist being the most seriously damaged.

Only two of the six large fusion reactors in the power room remain, and only one of the six plasma thrusters is now usable.

The fusion reactor exploded due to overload. Fortunately, it was a fusion reactor and stopped reacting on its own without causing any harm. The thrusters were blown up by humans.

The gas and liquid warehouses were damaged and a large amount of resources were lost, including the fuel for fusion reactors - deuterium, and special high-energy fuel for thermal power plants. Only a small hole in one tank could leave more than a thousand liters of stock, and what was preserved were some other less important industrial materials.

The space farm suffered heavy losses. The original 9 floors covered a total area of ​​nearly 1.8 square kilometers, and the cultivated area was close to 10 square kilometers. Now only the top two floors can still operate. The seven floors below seemed to have been penetrated by something. Although the wound was not large, it was basically scrapped under the action of vacuum pressure.

Judging from the traces of melted metal on the wound, it looked like it was pierced by some high-energy particle beam.

But this colony ship was built with resistant steel armor. It was originally the flagship of a small fleet and was equipped with a shield generator. But it still suffered such serious damage. Did it run to the center of the interstellar battlefield?

Judging from the weapons firing records, Lexington did clearly counterattack at that time.

I have been in dormant mode since I got on board, and I don't know what happened. Even the navigation log did not record what happened at the time. There was only a deleted record, and the person who deleted it was Lexington.

But Lexington did not have any malicious intent. Instead, after receiving an encrypted communication, he decided to delete the combat record on his own initiative. The communication information was retained, but there was also a lot of noise.

"Attention unknown ship, please leave this place immediately, we are fighting with *********, *********"

"Received, the engine is damaged, we will cover you to land at *****"

"The interstellar system warp system will be activated in one hundred and twenty minutes."

"This ****** is infectious ****, please delete ******"

"************************, please remain silent"

The language was not one of any kind in recorded history, and it was a new language, and it sounded like they were at war with something, and the people were pretty nice.

Willing to protect a damaged colony ship even on their first meeting.

It can also warp the mass of an entire star system away. Even his previous empire rarely did such a thing.

Warp engines of this level are usually only found in the core world.

After all, if you can’t beat them, can’t you just run away?

They just stuffed people into large ships and ran away. Who would care about the planets? The Empire itself exploded at least 800 planets a year.

Not to mention that there is no lunatic who would directly take the planetary system away.

The only ones who enjoy this treatment are their home stars and extremely important scientific research mega-galaxies.

I heard that there was an accident in the star system where the mother planet was located, but the Federation was not yet developed at the time and had no way to resolve the disaster, so they built more than 10,000 engines to push the mother planet away.

After hearing about this, Zhang Miao just wanted to say that you are really awesome.

Moreover, detonating planets is also a tradition. Before leaving, they also blew up the satellite of their own mother planet.

All I can say is that those who fight in space are tough guys.

It was nothing like the world he lived in in the past, where a few federations would fight each other whenever they had nothing to do, and all the technology was advanced in terms of weapons.

As a result, after finally traveling through time and space, he had not even had a few decades to enjoy happiness before he had to come back to suffer again.

It has remained silent until now.

Now you don’t have to think about which star region you are in. At least the night sky doesn’t match any place on the star map. It’s estimated that you’re at least one galaxy away.

Oh my god, I was traveling out of the province and was kidnapped to the African grasslands, where I watched lions baring their teeth with the local cannibal tribe.

There is another encrypted message behind it, which Lexington is still parsing. The lack of electricity has led to insufficient computing power, and it will take some time.

It should be said that the quantum hard drive is durable. It is said that the first quantum hard drive produced by Empire was still in normal use until his death, with no signs of damage, unlike the mechanical hard drives and solid-state drives he used before.

One will cause the dye to decompose, and the other will cause molecular adhesion, and the data will be distorted over time.

Chapter 8: Blowing up the door

Fiction requires logic, but reality does not.

God can play with you however he wants.

Zhang Miao is now thinking about how to stand up.

Currently, the entire colonial ship is stranded in the mountains, and he has taken great pains to open a hole for him to enter and exit. If he wants to transport dozens of tons, it is definitely impossible for him to carry it manually.

Even the top brick-moving masters on the construction site don’t play like this.

While thinking about what to do, Zhang Miao drove a small electric four-wheeler around the battleship.

In order to save electricity, the entire ship is equipped with emergency lighting. The lights occasionally flash in the dim environment, which is perfect for shooting space horror movies.

But Zhang Miao is a materialist. He believes that nothing is indestructible. It’s just that the caliber of his weapon is not big enough and the explosion range is not wide enough.

Driving along the way and chatting with Lexington

It’s nice to chat with advanced artificial intelligence.

Sometimes she comforts you gently like a good wife and mother, and sometimes she is like a little girl who needs to be coaxed.

Occasionally, a joke would make her so angry that she would log off and ignore Zhang Miao for a long time. She would not come back online until he apologized sincerely.

Maybe it's because she has undergone advanced learning, but now she is incredibly humanized, almost surpassing any artificial intelligence Zhang Miao has seen in the past. At least they don't have bad tempers, so Zhang Miao often forgets that the other person is an AI while chatting and treats her as a living person.

How many people can not love such a lovely woman whose work and life are almost perfect?

If only it were really her.

Thinking this, Zhang Miao drove the car all the way into the elevator. After a period of weightlessness, he arrived at the vehicle warehouse on the ground floor.

The colonial ship has many exits, but the two largest exits are the hatch in front of it used to transport vehicles and large equipment. It is located directly below the bow of the colonial ship, more than 30 meters high and 120 meters wide, and is directly connected to the vehicle garage.

The other is the mining transport hatch located under the rear engine, which is 18 meters high and 60 meters wide. However, it is usually not used for large vehicles to enter and exit. Instead, a conveyor belt is extended to transport ore and some industrial raw materials.

There are some small hatches around the bottom of the ship, the highest of which is no more than six meters, and they are used for people and some small vehicles.

The vehicle garage is 370 meters long, more than 50 meters high, and more than 220 meters wide. It is divided into three floors and houses nearly a hundred vehicles of various sizes.

There are military, industrial, and some small civilian ones. The military ones are all second-hand refurbished goods, while the others are still brand new!

As for the flying vehicles in the top deck hangar, there are not many left. The space drones were all lost in the space battle, leaving only one large carrier aircraft and some reconnaissance drones.

Zhang Miao parked the car in a corner. Compared with those big guys, it looked like a mini Lego toy.

It took him nearly three months to pass the large vehicle driver's license test, but he has never even touched the steering wheel of a large truck.

But he wasn't here to drive, as the hatch was suspended in the air, and a certain amount of space was needed to lower the hatch to serve as a slope for the vehicle.

But now, because there is a layer of frozen soil more than ten meters thick outside, they must be resolved before these vehicles can drive out.

What is used for opening a mountain?

With explosives, of course!

Mining explosives are stored in a special storage room, which is next to the carrier room.

I randomly took out a dozen special ammonium nitrate explosives with strong frost resistance. The temperature of the permafrost layer was too low and it was not suitable to use blasting gel, which would easily affect the blasting effect over time.

Some things are not necessarily better the more advanced they are; it depends on where they are used.

The power cannot be too great, and the mountain is the best cover. This time we only plan to blow up the hatch, and then put some camouflage on the hatch and continue to pretend that it is a mountain.

He placed a pile of explosives and detonators in the trunk of the electric car and slowly drove back to the maintenance room.

He changed into the same power armor as before, but this time he did not bring a gun. Instead, he brought the cutting machine and cable motor he used before, and carried a large bag of explosives and detonators on his back.

According to the three-dimensional projection given by Lexington, he quickly found the location of the vehicle's hatch.

Use an electric hammer to fix the motor firmly on the cliff.

This thing looks even smaller than a dog, but it can pull objects weighing more than ten tons.
