In the vast space of the universe, there is a huge artificial celestial body suspended. [Read the full text] She stretches out eight spiral arms that are tens of kilometers long in the direction of the star, and slowly rotates around the center. After the spiral arm, there is a cylindrical hull, extending for nearly ten kilometers in length, and finally connected with three huge and sixteen smaller ion engines, arranged in a honeycomb shape and emitting a blue shimmer.
Although the ion engine is offline, it is not actually shut down. Because this is the largest engine in the entire solar system (the largest three, the diameter of the nozzle exceeds ten kilometers, a single manufacturing cycle takes eleven years from warm-up to start-up, and then steadily rises to the 70% efficiency line, It will take a whole year! If it were not for the realization of wireless power transmission technology, such an engine would only remain on the drawing board.
The eight spiral arms covered with solar panels are like an open umbrella, blocking the hot star and casting a darker shadow into the dark universe behind it. "Dawn-1" orbits in a star-synchronous orbit. Her distance from the star is only half that of Mercury and the Sun, and it adjusts at any time with the star's activity cycle. When she stretches out her eight spiral arms, she casts a shadow that can easily cover the entire Earth. In fact, due to the weakening of sunlight by the earth's atmosphere, the solar energy received by Dawn every day is more than four times that of the entire earth's surface...
Lu Yuan has always had a misunderstanding. He thought that a pad battery can support the power consumption of an industrial city for three months. This is already very impressive - but he did not seem to have thought about it. Mu Xing once said that the capital and Binhai City were both polluted due to pollution. Excess disappears, so take Xi'an as an example of an industrial city - so she is actually talking about an industrial city in the twenty-sixth century!
At that time, they were able to build artificial celestial miracles like Dawn in Jupiter's synchronous orbit. God knows how developed their large industry was!
From the hull near the stern, more than a dozen metal ropes stretch out backwards - these metal ropes are only as thick as ordinary ropes, so soft that they can be wrapped around the wrist, but they can drag an entire giant ship. Now there is a cool and domineering "motorcycle" fixed on the front section of each of these metal ropes. It seems that each one has its engine fired and is ready to go.
A group of greenskins, only carrying oxygen bottles. Just get on the open motorcycle and get ready to go! According to Ke Xue, these green-skinned orcs are naturally optimistic, lively and cute. Moreover, their green skins are resistant to radiation, poison, cold and heat. Even if there is no oxygen, they can continue to work actively in the universe for half an hour. The only flaw is that the vigorous circulatory metabolism and miraculous curiosity lead to a too short lifespan.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as the organic matter is recovered, Kexue can quickly make another batch...
At this time, the greenskins were wearing windproof goggles (windproof?), and started the motorcycle one by one with the voice of "Odd", dragging the metal rope behind them. They flew towards the deep space! They only had to keep themselves in the shadows. Within, "basic safety of life" can be guaranteed. Solar panels in the 26th century are like greedy gluttons, absorbing everything from various rays to heat energy.
When they were out of sight of the spaceship (I thought.) they became more lively. The greenskins who participated in the battle during the day took out their hidden flintlock guns one by one and started shooting at each other for fun. In order to ignite gunpowder in space, They even made a pipe to connect the flintlock to the oxygen bottle... When the bullets were fired, they threw the bodies of their companions into the recycling basket and let the backup driver take charge - no wonder there were two on each locomotive. A greenskin!
After entering the asteroid belt, they selected suitable meteorites. Then he fixed the metal ropes on it - the oxygen was used up by playing with the muskets, and he also fixed himself on it. Then with a "Yohoo~", the metal rope began to be retracted, dragging the motorcycle, the green skin, and hundreds of tons of meteorites back together!
There is no need to watch the process in detail. Occasionally, if a green skin is thrown out of the shadow by the rippling metal rope, it will turn into a pile of charcoal with a "zig" sound. This sight only made the remaining greenskins even more angry... So they picked another one and launched it...
Anyway. The green skin loss rate of this mining operation reached 50%, and 1,750 tons of meteorites were successfully transported back. All the meteorites were concentrated into the waist of the ship's hull, and then a huge probe protruded from the ship - yes, it was the laser cannon that Lu Yuan once despised!
This laser cannon that clears the waterway shoots at the meteorites "biu! biu! biu!" with just a few shots, completely smashing all the meteorites. Then the greenskins pulled the "vacuum cleaner" from behind the motorcycle. Clean up this universe...this mining is officially over.
By pouring the mineral powder back into the centrifuge, the minerals can be easily refined in the first step.
As for the miners - injured and dead greenskins were brought into the workshop, and a few hours later there were a bunch of fresh and happy greenskins...
The working environment here would make even the most unreliable human rights fighter look down upon it.
…
So Lu Yuan closed his eyes and switched the surveillance camera to the lower part of the spacecraft's patio.
Now he is performing the captain's duties in his office. First, he is familiar with the basic situation of the ship. However, only the green skins and snake demons are currently working on it.
Lu Yuan lay bored on his suspended chair, just like Mu Xing once did.
Because this is not a battleship, there is no handsome bridge that gathers everyone together and then takes them away with one shot - so, you know, there is no Shenma front cockpit and super large and dazzling Porthole!
When he asked for portholes, he got a very large office located in the dome - the armor plates and solar panels that make up the dome behind are all translucent, and they are even on the same floor as the main computer room, just with different rotations. After the arm. Under the dome with a diameter of 35 kilometers, there are many such independent rooms, large and small.
Outside the window is the corner of the familiar "red giant star", its surface is boiling like sea water, and there is a reminder marked on it - "There are still forty-five days, seven hours and forty-three minutes before the next star explodes." So, looking at these real-time displayed monitoring data and annotations, you never know whether you are facing a window or a monitor.
On the other side of the porthole is a monitor that clearly indicates that it must be a monitor. It is six meters wide...it is showing the scene in the spacecraft. When Ms. Liming "showed her muscles" to him, she opened an up-and-down patio in the center of the spacecraft, instantly raising the level of the Dawn to an A+ scenic spot.
Now these patios are still open, but each floor is covered with a transparent floor (I won't say it is glass to shame... Now only the seventeenth deck is open, and through the floor, you can see a lot of people swimming around. The tail of the snake that swam away... there is really nothing to peek at! Ke Xue created many six-armed snake demons to serve as experimental assistants. It is said that they have good IQs, so they had to shorten the recycling cycle.
Of course, there are inevitably some people driving forklifts to transport goods...wait! Cut the camera back for me!
Your sister, the one who is happily driving a forklift and wandering around helping people - isn't she Li Huamei? !

In short, in the past, although the Dawn stored materials that could build several interstellar battleships, they could not be touched at all - those were all planned, and each material had several uses - for example, if the prepared situation A did not occur , then this material will be automatically converted to Plan C for use, and there will be Plan E and Plan H lined up later.
So Dawn is like a locked warehouse. Even if people are starving to death, they still have to follow the plan step by step.
But things are different now. With new sources of replenishment, even though all of them are ordinary materials except gold, Ms. Li Ming can still spend a lot of money. Green appeared in the battleship, and some cabins completed closed internal circulation. As an AI, Ms. Liming loved nature very much... and expressed extreme indignation at Lu Yuan for sending her a lubricating friend!
The living conditions in the hibernation cabin have been improved. Although those people are still hibernating, their weight has still increased and they are no longer hovering on the edge of sub-health. People living in the virtual world have said that they have been in good spirits recently and their quality of life has improved.
And during hundreds of years of travel, the Dawn has accumulated a lot of problems, ranging from abnormal noise, to the loss of communication in the entire area, and the front deck being damaged (Alona said she had no knowledge at all... ...Now we can start to solve it gradually.
...Although it has only been a few short days, Dawn has already seen a prosperous scene.
Ms. Liming pays attention to every tiny change on the ship, and everyone can almost always see her smile - except Lu Yuan. After he sent the lubricant, he was on Ms. Liming’s enemy list...
But when Lu Yuan's camera occasionally scanned the Kingdom of God, he saw Annie and Ding Mumu sitting back to back on the cliff looking into the distance...
It looks extremely lonely.
Lu Yuan's heart moved and he put down the electronic board in his hand.
He adjusted the camera so that the two people's heads filled the entire screen, then leaned back in his chair and watched quietly.
"...Have you met your master?"
He heard Ding Mumu and Annie say. It seems that Annie went to some world to find her past teacher... Lu Yuan thought for a moment, wasn't her real teacher the famous King of Knights, Artoria?
Anne shook her head, "It can be said that I have seen it, or it can be said that I have not seen it... The agent named Saber is indeed Artoria's heroic spirit, but she is not my teacher, and I do not exist in her memories. "
Ding Mumu listened, and the two of them were silent back to back.
After a while, Ding Mumu suddenly said, "Do you want to know Ayuan's past?"
"Of course!" Annie raised her eyebrows.
"I want to know too..." Ding Mumu's voice was a little lonely.
