Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Zhang Miao himself and the stuff on his armor only weigh three or four tons, which is a piece of cake for it.

If it can stop a truck, what is one person?

As the cable was lowered, Zhang Miao quickly reached the hatch. He put his feet on the cliff, took out a cutting machine from behind, and fired a laser at the point set by Lexington, without any error.

The red high-temperature rays have a temperature of nearly 4,000 degrees Celsius, and when they hit the permafrost, it is like a red-hot iron rod inserted into butter. A large amount of white steam and boiling water rushes out. Not only water, but under such high temperature, even the minerals in the soil, such as silicon dioxide, will vaporize and spray out.

But the white mist did not block Zhang Miao's sight. The goggles had a special coating that could effectively prevent the mist from freezing and affecting his vision. Combined with the radar scan, the beam soon stopped when it was about to approach the cabin door.

I'm not worried about damaging the hatch; even if the temperature increases tenfold it's impossible to scratch off the paint.

But it was like this when it was originally designed. If it is broken through, the blasting effect will be poor.

Following the same pattern, he made a dozen holes of varying sizes on the blasting hole, stuffed the pre-connected explosives and detonators into the blasting holes one by one, and then threw the fuses and switches directly to the ground.

Then Zhang Miao directly untied the ropes on his body. He was now several meters above the ground. He didn't even need a buffer and stepped hard on the ground with both feet.

The untied cable was quickly retracted to the top of the mountain by Zhang Miao using an electric motor.

Then he picked up the switch that fell on the ground, stepped back a dozen meters, and directly pressed the red button in his hand.

When choosing things, he only buys things that have been tested in the market for a long time. Maybe their performance and power are not as good as the new models, but they are definitely sturdy and durable.

The electrical signal is transmitted along the lead wire all the way to the detonator. As a trace of electric arc hits the mercury fulminate, light first flashes out from the blasting hole, followed by a muffled sound, and then, in a designed sequence, more than a dozen muffled sounds are heard one after another.

The power alone is not that great, but with their combined effect, countless cracks spread on the iron-hard permafrost, soon covering a large area, and then with the last sound, a large amount of debris rushed down from the rock layer like a waterfall, and there were even several large pieces with a diameter of one or two meters rolling down.

After the smoke slowly dissipated, only a thin layer of ice crystals remained on the rock layer. They were the first ones to encounter the colonial ship.

But there's no need to worry about these things. The force when the hatch opens is enough to break them. Then you can use some foam and gel to make a fake frozen soil wall afterwards, which will be perfect.

Chapter 9: Their soy milk was poured out at my feet!

But after finishing all these things, it was already dark, and Zhang Miao didn't want to stay up late to work on the construction.

Before I traveled through time, I stayed up late every day to work overtime.

After traveling through time, I still stay up late and work overtime every day.

Then wouldn’t my time traveling be in vain?

Just go back and have a good sleep.

In fact, he also wanted to go to the cinema to watch a movie, or go to the game hall to play a few games, but the electricity should not be wasted in this place. The little extra electricity was charged into the battery, and when the power supply is restored to normal, he would have fun to his heart's content.

After taking a hot shower, I lay down in the hibernation chamber.

With the help of the nano lining, all the sweat and stains on his body will be absorbed completely, and even if he rubs his skin, nothing can be rubbed out, but taking a hot bath is a habit.

Because it is a private ship, Zhang Miao has made it more comfortable. His hibernation chamber is larger than normal ones and is much more comfortable to lie in. At least it doesn't look like a coffin.

The next morning, Zhang Miao woke up just as the sky was getting light.

His biological alarm clock can be accurate to the minute, so he will never oversleep unless he is extremely tired.

When he opened his eyes, Lexington was lying on the hibernation chamber, looking at him with burning eyes.

If you are a timid person, you might get scared.

But she doesn't really have a physical body, she's just doing real-time calculations. After all, one-third of the generator's power is fed to her. If she can't even do this, her host wouldn't be called a supercomputer.

"Good morning, Captain."

A gentle smile illuminates people's hearts like the morning sunshine.

This is basically his daily routine after waking up.

"Morning, Lexington."

As he woke up, the hatch of the hibernation chamber slid down automatically. Lexington pretended to lose balance and fell towards Zhang Miao. Then Zhang Miao watched her pass through his body without any reaction.

"Won't you get bored playing like this every day?"

She always finds different ways to play tricks on him. At first he would be startled, but now Lexington wouldn't even blink an eye even if he took his head off.

"Well, Captain, you don't have any sense of romance. Girls won't like you."

Lexington was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhang Miao's recent cold reaction. She still preferred Zhang Miao who had just woken up.

It's obviously you who is abnormal!

Zhang Miao rolled his eyes when he heard what Lexington said.

He had finally found a way to deal with her, how could he fail so easily?

After getting up from the hibernation chamber, I washed up again and baked some delicious bread to eat.

He should be thankful that his granary and freezer were not damaged in space, otherwise he would have been really heartbroken to lose the food and frozen products.

When the breeding base is completed, we will have hot milk to drink in the morning.

I looked at the time. It was still early. Even if I went, Yelena and the others might not have gotten up yet.

If you are bored, you can use the spare pipes in the warehouse to replace the damaged small parts.

In addition to the large breaches, many cabins are still in a mess. I had originally planned to wait until the power was restored and let the maintenance robots do it, but since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well just kill time.

Taking a batch of metal graphene composite materials, he ran to the processing plant alone and used the little remaining electricity to start a small processing table.

It took him thirteen years from the time he bought the Lexington to the time it was modified and ready to set sail.

During this period, he studied hard, took exams for various certificates, and served in the army.

But most of them just try it out.

Basically, I know a little bit about everything, can operate it, read the instructions, and repair it, and that's it.

These things should be done through division of labor and cooperation. It is impossible for one person to complete colonization even with the assistance of AI and robots.

But those people were just like the Empire. Under the general environment, they had no intention of expanding outward, and many of them had never left their own planets in their entire lives.

But Zhang Miao didn't think so. He felt that he had come here with great difficulty and he should have some fun. It was not up to him to decide where to go in the army.

And he wouldn't be satisfied with just taking a few sightseeing buses.

I originally wanted to wait for my parents to come back and then cajole them into taking out a loan to buy a small cargo boat to do business.

What he got in the end was inheritance and an accident insurance compensation.

With such a huge fortune in hand, Zhang Miao got excited and immediately decided to build a big ship to go out and colonize.

It doesn't matter if no one follows. It only takes about ten years for the fertilized eggs to grow into adults. After the initial expansion of the colony is completed, all we have to do is wait patiently.

Generally speaking, this would not be allowed, but the planet's government thought it was rare that someone still wanted to colonize, so they decided to grant him a batch of fertilized eggs that were about to expire.

These are relics of the pioneering days long ago.

If you are bored, you can drive a small spaceship to the nearby spaceport for fun.

With a lifespan of four or five hundred years, waiting for ten years is nothing.

As a result, the road is now lost, the boat is stranded in the mountains, and I have to screw the screws myself.

Depend on!

Now all the fertilized eggs are dead. After all, freezing technology is not omnipotent. It's only ten thousand years, not to mention that they were just fertilized eggs.

Even more than half of the livestock embryos were destroyed. Fortunately, the power supply to the gene bank and the freezing storage was restored in time, but I'm afraid there would be even greater losses.

If he hadn't seen the indigenous people here, he would have thought about cloning himself.

This is not legally allowed by the empire and is considered a taboo.

This is not like the robot AI maid who turns a blind eye. When illegal cloning is caught, the original body is directly imprisoned and the clones are all destroyed.

However, Lexington gave Zhang Miao another choice.

If not, we can just use robot labor. But if we don’t give them human rights, we might be overthrown.

While Zhang Miao was daydreaming, he rotated the magnetic vacuum pipe in his hand. With a click of a button, the indicator light turned from red to green, and the installation was completed.

But complaining is complaining

Zhang Miao felt a little inexplicably excited.

I feel like I'm playing some old sci-fi farming games like Dyson Sphere and Factorio.

Although it is not a big scene like a space war or a starship confrontation, farming in a different world has its own unique flavor.

Especially since I am on a planet with an indigenous civilization that seems to have begun industrialization.

If he wants, he can even play coloring games later.

Their soy milk was poured out at my feet!

However, after finding the encrypted information yesterday, Zhang Miao found it boring.

This piece of land has an owner. Although I don't know why the other party allowed these guys to develop freely, at least they saved my life.

If you act recklessly, you will be repaying kindness with enmity.

It is better to collect enough resources as soon as possible, find a way to repair the colony ship and see if we can communicate with the other party and borrow a passage to return to the empire.

Click.

As I welded the last piece of plate to the wall, I looked at the time and it was almost noon.

Frost Star should have arrived by now.

Chapter 10: Yelena, you are not going to kidnap someone as a hostage, are you?

This place is more than 20 kilometers away from the meeting point set yesterday.

Normally it would take more than an hour to walk there.

But once the garage was operational, it was only a few minutes’ drive away.

This time I'm not going out to fight, so I put on a set of engineer armor.

This is much smaller than yesterday's military products, and the full set is only two meters long.

There are no traditional large armor plates. In order to ensure flexibility, strip armor is used, and there are many gaps between the armor to increase mobility.

It looks a bit like rows of mahjong tiles.

So it is also jokingly called mahjong suit by those engineers.

But its durability and applicability are real. The only drawback is that it pursues stability and simplicity too much, and not many modules can be loaded.

I heard that a big guy killed seven zombies while wearing this suit, and this industrial protective suit became the first choice for field engineers everywhere.

The blood moon was also lit up with fireworks at the local spaceport.

He picked out an off-road armored vehicle that looked a little timid among the group of giants, and piled several boxes of food and some tools that might be needed later in the trunk.

The amount of electricity consumed by a hovercraft is not something he can afford right now, and flying in the sky for no reason is just asking for trouble.

With a burst of mechanical roar, the ice layer, which had thickened a little after a night of low temperature, was shattered directly by this great force.

A large amount of ice hit the ground, raising a cloud of white mist, which was then completely covered by the descending hatch.

As the engine roared, Zhang Miao stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, with the speed reaching 100 miles per hour.

With the sharp vision and vehicle performance, even 200 yards can be easily controlled, let alone 100 yards, but generally no one would drive that fast.

The body armor is made of a porcelain-gold composite material that has been eliminated by warships for tens of thousands of years. Hitting a rock is like hitting a piece of tofu.

The chassis' magnetorheological suspension system ensures that even in the most undeveloped and bumpy wilderness you can feel as stable as sitting on a sofa.

The power provided by the micro nuclear fusion battery is inexhaustible, so my mother doesn't have to worry about me running out of gas halfway through the journey.

These were the green lights given by the government at the time when it knew that Zhang Miao wanted to immigrate to the New World. He was given priority purchasing rights and internal prices for many military equipment that had been obsolete for thousands of years.

Of course, it is still new product. Although it has been eliminated by the military, there is still a market for it among the people and some money can be made, so several production lines are still continuing production. However, there are not many varieties and basically no choice.

And although it is called a new world, it is actually just a star system less than ten light years away from the Empire's border spaceport. It is a wasteland that has been reclaimed at the doorstep.

However, the environment there was just so-so, barely survivable. If cockroaches went there, people would have to move out overnight. It was far worse than where he was living now.

Not only is the land barren, but there are also big storms from time to time.
