At six o'clock in the morning, he woke up on time according to the biological clock, and after completing his washing, morning exercises, and meals, he went to his place of work with Aoba and the other operators according to the assignment he received yesterday. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After yesterday's jump in space coordinates, it did not completely leave the Cullen system, but was only an advance ship located outside the inner region of the twelve planets, and is currently located in a cosmic region full of small stars.

Due to the haste and haste of the departure from the Hope, it is obvious that the resources on board are absolutely insufficient in terms of long-term life, and the advance ship must complete the task of resource extraction and replenishment of materials on the planets as soon as possible.

In the time they slept peacefully last night, they sailed away from the destination they had just arrived at after the jump, and did not move in the direction where the Hope was, but perpendicular to the line between the end of the jump and the Hope, and the advance ship that sailed had arrived at the first star that the crew expected to mine in the early morning. As a result, there was no need to delay at all, and Ping An went to work immediately.

The star approached by the flying advance ship was an oblate spheroid planet that was not large in size or mass and could not generate an atmosphere on the surface of the planet. It's just that, although it is not large, this planet that contains several of the most scarce resources of the advance ship today really fulfills the old saying "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs".

Dior, who worked all night, and Takami's robot assistant had already completed the software and hardware debugging of all the mecha on board last night. Therefore, this morning, the human manipulators who had already been modified by Dior yesterday were able to manipulate these mechas, which were originally in the initialization stage and had not been equipped with the procedures that should be installed, so they could not exert their full strength.

Takami and Renhua tried their best to bring the humanoid mecha on the ship, but due to the limited number, it was completely unable to meet the needs of the more than 100 operators on the advance ship, so Ping'an, Tang Mo and others, who chose to give up the mecha to the human manipulators, would complete their tasks in the form of a half-human adventitious insect.

Heian and the others, whose body size could be expanded tenfold on the basis of their full-human form, abandoned the combat uniforms stored on the advance ship and instead used their own foreign compatriots to conjure up suitable clothes for themselves.

Subsequently, after Anne learned the secret of Ping'an, she followed Tang Mo's instructions to pay attention to the indefinite insects who fully charged themselves every day, and after replenishing the electricity consumed by the snatching of the advance ship last night, he made himself a similar height to the humanoid mecha.

Successfully landed on the resource mining planet, and then opened the advance ship that vacuum the ship's cabin, so that the mechs and adventitious insects who were ready to leave the ship successfully stepped on the surface of the planet. Subsequently, the humans inside and outside the ship, even though they had learned the fact that "I am not actually a human" from their relatives and friends, were still amazed by the appearance of the "giants" in front of them.

It's only natural that some of the decision-making crew on the Hope would covet the Worm's abilities and want to take it for themselves.

With a power comparable to that of a humanoid mecha, as well as speed and agility beyond mechas, it only needs to charge itself, and does not need to breathe or wear protective clothing to resist cosmic radiation, and can freely change the size, discharge electricity, spray acid, emit lasers, and change the shape of alien cells according to needs, this comprehensive ability is far better than that of mechas, and it is really strange if no one wants to use it.

What's more, the ability to mine the planet's ice, which is rich in various inorganic salts and sealed with a lot of methane, can also come in handy when smelting metals.

So, when the maintenance staff, including Takami, saw with their own eyes that the indeterminate insects who had excavated the ore that had been excavated and incorporated it into the outer cells, and in a short time turned the ore that had been smelted into a metal block directly composed of metal elements and sent it back to the body, they were stunned by such a convenient and quick ability, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"With such a convenient ability, wouldn't it be possible for a humanoid mecha to be directly created by you?" After finishing the work in the morning session, taking advantage of the time when Ping'an, Tang Mo and their ilk returned to the advance ship to replenish the inorganic salt solution and electric energy, they came to talk to Ping'an, and their eyes were full of surprise, admiration and excitement.

"No, no, no, you can't use this ability to directly build a humanoid mecha. After all, it's too big, and it's too complex in terms of structure and performance. Therefore, without the labor of the maintenance staff, it would be obviously impossible for us to build this kind of machine, which is the most intelligent of human beings at this stage. ”

In the crew assembly hall, Ping An, who was sitting at a round table with Aoba and Takami for a lunch break, continued to make supplementary explanations while drinking the inorganic salt solution.

"This is best done by incorporating different metallic or non-metallic elements into the body, blending them into alloys as required, and changing the shape of the smelted alloys to produce large, complete parts that can be used directly. And those parts that are smaller in size and obviously more convenient and faster to manufacture by hand will still be handed over to you. ”

"We will do our best to help with the production of the various parts required for the machine, the assembly of each part, and the tuning of the overall performance of the assembled machine. In this way, it is believed that it will not be long before not only the insufficient number of humanoid mechas, weapons and ammunition, but also the robots used to maintain the normal operation of the non-combat departments in the ship and meet the daily needs of the crew can be mass-produced. ”

Maintaining a short distance between himself and the Hope, after mining the resources on a small star, the advance ship that rushed to the next mining site according to the material needs has been busy in order to make the spaceship run more smoothly, in order to make the people on board live better, and have the military strength to resist Zhou Huai'an as soon as possible.

However, if the people on the ship think that their behavior of not recruiting or provoking anyone, but only quietly working for themselves, will not provoke fear, hostility, or malicious speculation and retaliation from the crew of the Hope, then they are really very mistaken.
