Chu Jungui had to admit that what Li Ruobai said seemed to make sense.
However, the reason why he admits his lack of aesthetics is not subjective cognition, but objective systematic evaluation. To put it bluntly, it was because the other two members of the winter hunting team also seemed to think so. Three of the four people thought that the spacecraft designed by Chu Jungui was ugly, so the spacecraft must be ugly, even if the test subject didn't know what was ugly about it.
Moreover, whether a spacecraft looks good or not seems to have nothing to do with whether it can fly or how far it can fly.
After Li Ruobai sighed with emotion, he looked at Chu Jungui and said, "But you are already very powerful, so you don't need to work on beautifying the spaceship. Someone will naturally do it for you."
In fact, during the construction of the spacecraft, Chu Jungui showed another side that was unknown to everyone. This spaceship looks a bit strange, and Chu Jungui's brain circuit seems to be very weird. For example, the rocket booster engine tied to the ship can rotate in place and turn around.
At Chu Jungui's place, it seems that all design conventions can be broken. Although there are many seemingly weird designs, the overall performance of the final product is outstanding. It is faster, stronger, more reliable, and has a longer range.
What is sacrificed is nothing more than beauty and comfort.
Putting aside his personal feelings, Li Ruobai would rather take the Chu Jungui ship than the one he designed. After all, Chu Jungui's spaceship had too much safety redundancy, making it almost impossible for anything to happen.
The spaceship left by the predecessors was right in front of him, but Li Ruobai was not in a hurry. He led everyone to unload several boxes of equipment from the off-road vehicle, and then set up four scanners at the four corners of the spacecraft to slowly scan and analyze the internal structure and current situation of the spacecraft.
Another team member is responsible for measuring the parameters of the surrounding environment in detail. Chu Jungui received a task that suited him very well, which was to find a safe place to set up a temporary camp.
The spacecraft left behind by the predecessors has been hundreds of years old, and it is impossible to tell what it looks like inside, and it is related to their plan to return home smoothly, so they must be very cautious.
Chu Jungui drove an off-road vehicle alone, launched a reconnaissance drone, and then searched in circles around the remains of the spacecraft.
There are actually some signs of life on this planet. Occasionally, brown or dark brown vegetation can be seen in the desert, most of which are moss. Not even grass or shrubs can be seen. Looking around, there are no animals in sight.
According to the information left by the explorers, the ecosystem of Planet 1 is still very primitive, with only simple plants and simpler microorganisms. There are no valuable species and they do not pose a threat.
The harsh natural environment is a greater threat. The temperature here at night can drop below a hundred degrees. Although storms are rare, precautions must be taken.
Chu Jungui soon explored the surroundings, and the place he finally selected was not far from the camp first established by the explorers. The camp location is less than two kilometers away from where their spacecraft landed. Transportation and construction are easy, and it is also convenient for nearby exploration of the spacecraft.
After telling Li Ruobai about the location of the camp on the communication channel, Chu Jungui returned to the spacecraft to carry building materials.
The temporary camp was built this time using standard building modules that had been prepared in advance. Chu Jungui had to transport all the required materials roughly three times.
He removed the rear compartment of the off-road vehicle, moved a robotic arm, and placed it on the platform of the off-road vehicle's rear compartment, thus turning it into a simple small crane.
Chu Jungui opened a box of building materials, and a virtual pattern of the foundation appeared in his field of vision. However, this time the virtual map was not generated by Chu Jungui himself, but the auxiliary building mode that came with the mask display.
After confirming the construction plan, he inserted a few metal prisms into the ground at the designated location, then picked up the power hammer and knocked it down hard. The power hammer continuously sprays steam, driving the prism deeply into the ground in a few strokes. Chu Jungui tested the strength and nailed the remaining prisms into the ground one by one.
Now that the foundation pillars are in place, the next step is to place the foundation modules. These foundations are made of prefabricated square blocks, which are light and strong and not easily deformed. They also have the functions of heat insulation, sealing and moisture-proofing.
There is a special interface under the foundation module. Aim at the prism and press it, and it will lock firmly with a click.
Chu Jungui laid out the foundation modules, and there were connecting mechanisms at the joints to lock them firmly.
Chu Jungui took out a six-sided tool, inserted it into the small holes in the four corners of the foundation module, and tightened it firmly. After a few twists, the adjacent foundations locked tightly with each other. Chu Jungui stamped his feet a few times and was very satisfied with the solidity of the ground, so he began to build the wall.
The walls also have ready-made modules. The construction method is similar to that of the foundation, except that the horizontal direction is changed to the vertical direction, and door and window modules are added.
The modules are all standard one square meter. Chu Jungui thought about it and finally built a three-meter-high wall. The reason why two meters was not chosen is because this is a non-breathable planet and there are many devices that need to be installed. Otherwise, according to the nature of the test subjects, they might have to build a 2*1*1 bedroom for Li Ruobai and the others.
Once all the walls are built, it’s time to lay the roof. Chu Jungui drove the off-road vehicle over, operated the crane remotely through his personal terminal, hoisted boxes of ceilings, and started installing them piece by piece.
Chu Jungui also had to admire the engineers who designed these building modules. They had maximized their versatility and ease of use. The so-called ceiling modules were actually universal to the foundation modules. The modules for windows and doors are also interchangeable. Put two window modules together and remove the middle partition to create a door. In the same way, four windows put together form a double door.
The window module is the basis for installing equipment. All functional equipment for survival on the planet's surface can be installed on the window.
After the frame of the house was built, Chu Jungui built a foyer at the door to serve as an airtight cabin.
In this way, the basic framework is set up.
At this time, Li Ruobai had just completed a preliminary scan of the spacecraft structure, and the analysis and sampling of environmental parameters had not yet been completed. Seven or eight detection drones have been launched one after another, and only one has returned. According to the preset route, the farthest drone will have a range of more than 400 kilometers before returning.
Li Ruobai said in the communication channel: "The spacecraft scan has been basically completed. The external structure is damaged, but it is mostly caused by structural fatigue that has been too long. The internal structure is very complete. The preliminary results of many equipment are intact, but whether it can be used will have to wait until We won’t know until we enter the spaceship tomorrow. How is the camp going? Is the foundation ready? We can come over now to help.”
"The framework has been built and you can use it when you come back."
"So fast?!" Li Ruobai looked at the time and it seemed like only an hour had passed. Is this time enough to lay the floor?
