Chapter 1: The Thunder, the Sage's Ship!
Compared with the "Red River class", which has a volume of more than 1,000 cubic meters, this black gadget is only about one-tenth the size of the former. But almost more than 90 percent of the 100 cubic meter hull is manned space – more than twice as large as the Red River class!
The remaining 10 percent is the ship's control and power system: this part is compressed in the isolation layer of the hull and the manned space, and a series of independent but interconnected small machines are filled with it, making Lin Shu look dizzy.
"Where did this spaceship come from?" he looked at it for a long time with Xiaoxing's perspective ability, and couldn't help but wonder: "The earth doesn't have such strong technology, right?"
"Stupid! How can this be earthly!" Before Xiaoxing could explain, Bupa had already interjected impatiently and scolded: "The earthlings can't make this kind of super spaceship for another 10 million years!
Lin Shu frowned, and sure enough, he found that the materials used to make this spaceship were the same as the Thunder Battle Armor, which was the kind of black metal that did not reflect light.
The only difference may lie in the purity of the ferrous metal. The Thunder Armor is pure black, and the hull of this ship, in addition to black, has a faint silver sheen - although it is beautiful, it lacks a cold feeling.
Don't...... This spaceship is also a relic left by Lord Lei Qianjun?
"Absolutely! This ship is called the Thunder, and it is also the favorite ship of the legendary Thunder Sage! As for the materials...... This is a crystalline metal made of black crystal, and it is already a luxury to collect and imitate a battle armor, of course, it is impossible to use it all to make a spaceship!" Buppa sensed his thoughts and explained: "The Thunder Battle Armor uses all black crystal to refine metal, and although this spaceship also uses black crystal metal, it is mixed with a large amount of silver essence, so it will look a little impurity luster. "
"And this black crystal ......"
"It is a slightly inferior energy crystal to amethyst, and it is also one of the only two crystalline metals in the universe that can be refined. Bupa seemed to be addicted, and he didn't even care if Lin Shu let go of the "Red River Class" and walked into the black ship: "Amethyst is the best power stone, and the refined amethyst metal is also the strongest in this universe, the most malleable, and the best energy penetrating metal! "
"But then again, even if it's black crystal, it's definitely not a high-grade material that ordinary cultivators can access! When those cultivators were first armored, they could find some silver essence as a mixture, which was already very remarkable!" Speaking of this, there was a hint of shyness in Bupa's voice: "My Phantom Sky Battle Armor is better than theirs, but it is only all using silver essence as a material. Otherwise, with my strength, it would not be possible for it to only rank in the middle of the 'earth' level - at least it can be upgraded by one grade!"
"Sounds like a rarity...... But all this dark crystal metal is used to make the shell of the spaceship, and it is not as precious as you say, right?"
Bupa snorted: "More than six thousand years ago, Lord Thunder Sage discovered a small planet of black crystal minerals on the periphery of the Alpha Nebula. The Sage Lord single-handedly took this small planet across a distance of hundreds of thousands of light years and turned it into one of the four major moons of the Thunder Star, as the private mineral planet of the Thunder Star. It was through it that Thunder Star established its position in the alliance!"
When he said this, Lin Shu had already walked into the "Thunder" through the open hatch and began to look at everything inside.
From the inside, the cabin was much more spacious than expected: at least the captain's chair in the middle was stronger than he had ever sat on!
"Xiaoxing, can you control this ship?" Lin Shu drifted to the captain's chair and fixed his body on it: "What should I do if I run out of power?"
"Basically, it's easier than controlling that 'Red River class'. Xiaoxing jumped on his head and said proudly: "Its operating system is very consistent with my main program, and there is no need to adjust the calculation frequency to cooperate! If I use this spaceship, I can exert its kinetic energy system at 200 percent, and at least reach the cosmic speed of level 20! As for the energy ...... The Thunder should also be able to adapt to the nuclear propulsion system, but of course some other modifications will have to be made, such as transplanting an oxygen production system...... It will take about two Earth system days to complete. "
(Twenty levels of cosmic speed, and the "Red River-class" space ships have eighteen levels.) Lin Shu thought for a moment, and quickly made a decision: "It's only two planet days, it's worth the wait!
Xiao Xing narrowed his eyes and smiled, and lightly "pecked" at Lin Shu's face: "Don't worry! There are at least three space mechanics in their databases, and they won't have much trouble dealing with these spaceships more than 4,000 years ago." "
"By the way......" Lin Shu suddenly remembered something, and turned the question to Bupa: "You once said that after I am armored, I can also turn into a personal spaceship, and then I can fly through the folded space and leap into the Alpha Nebula. The ship...... Is that what it looks like?"
"No, no, after armoring, all you can do is personify your own spaceship - with you as the power system, the armor shell as the hull, and the technology add-on for space folding and leaping. Bupa pointed at Lin Shu and unfolded his palm, revealing the tattoo with the remaining six colors on it: "These things I wanted you to retrieve at the beginning are the technological add-ons after the spaceship, which is very important!"
Lin Shu looked at the "tattoos" on his hands, as if he had suddenly returned to half a year ago.
At the beginning, he recovered a total of seven "treasures" from all over the world. Among them, the red square box is Xiaoxing, the orange rope is the gravity bundle he uses to exercise his strength, and there are five more left, which are a yellow necklace, a green plasticine, a cyan cloth pocket, a blue short stick, and a purple mask - can these things really make the spaceship perform such a high-tech action as "space jumping"?
"So, after the transformation into a spaceship, can I take someone with me to take a space leap together?"
Bupa's voice paused slightly, and he also thought of the question: "Do you want to take the weak boy with you......?" After all, they are the next generation of the Thunder Sage, and they also have both martial arts power and mind control ability just like you. If you take a good **, you may be a good helper in the future. The current Cosmic Alliance is no longer an era where you can break through the sky alone, and it is also beneficial to have a die-hard subordinate. "
"But if you want to reach the level of leaping forward with people, you have to be at least a spaceship that has been simulated by a cosmic force of level 50 or above. He pondered for a moment, then frowned, "I know what you mean, you want to do this with the Thunder, right? But can this spaceship from four thousand years ago complete the space folding leap...... I'm not sure. With the technology at that time, could it really complete such a complex spatial leap?"
This time, it was Lin Shu's turn to "look" at Bupa from his consciousness with great disdain, and said disdainfully: "Idiot, stupid! If you can't leap forward in space, could it be that this 'Thunder' has been flying from the Alpha Nebula for 40 million years before coming here?"
Poor Bupa choked in his throat in one breath, and choked for a long time before he said hatefully: "Count you ruthless!
Lin Shu sat on the captain's chair and shook his body, only feeling that his whole body was comfortable and at stake--calling you always stimulates me!
******
During the two days of the Earth system, that is, Jupiter's autobiography under the sun for two weeks, when the small star was busy overhauling the "Thunder", Lin Shu took the time to walk around Europa.
It's a strange moon, with a thin atmosphere filled with some weird oxygen in the air. The outer part of the sphere was covered with a thick layer of ice: Lin Shu spent some effort to break through the ice, and after drilling into the interior of the planet, he found a large amount of metal deposits near the earth's core.
Silvery solid metal with a six-sided cube-like molecular structure. In the Alpha Nebula, this metal is the equivalent of "gold" on Earth, and even more precious. If the armor of a warrior can be mixed with this, the strength can at least increase a lot!
And this silver metal is the material that Buppa used to make his "Phantom Sky Battle Armor" - silver essence.
After discovering this astonishing deposit, Bupa was happy for more than half an hour before stopping, but he immediately began to worry again: "But you can't open Xiaoxing's storage space now, so much silver essence...... How can I bring it back?"
According to Xiaoxing's preliminary calculations, the total amount of silver concentrate in the core of Europa is three tons, and the volume is almost half of that of the "Red River". It would take a lot of effort to mine such a huge silver concentrate, let alone bring it on board during the vast journey through the universe.
"Otherwise......" Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, and took out the inner breath identification box from the belt of the Thunder Battle Armor: "Put it in here?"
"That's all there is to it!Try to find the best grade silver essence from these deposits, and stuff this thing with it!" Buppa was only depressed for a while, and soon became happy again: "From such a huge mineral deposit, what comes out must be the best silver essence! I just don't know how many ...... can be produced."
"It is estimated that the total amount is about 300 kilograms, of which 200 kilograms are superb, and the rest are slightly inferior. Xiao Xing calculated for a moment, and quickly replied, "But the overall quality is above the first grade, just enough to fill up that storage space." "
"Okay!" Bupa Dashuang: "On the mineral planet under my name, I can only get two or three kilograms of silver essence from mining for a whole year, and at least half of it is third-class or fourth-class! The second-class product that can really be used to upgrade armor is only about one kilogram! Xiaolinzi, are you the reincarnation of a blessed god? You have encountered such a good thing every time...... Maybe you can get so many amethyst stones on Pluto!"
Lin Shu smiled, quite satisfied with this title. But ...... "I can't even smash this thing, how can I mine it?"
--According to Bupa, the silver essence can only be cast when the warrior is in a state of armor and the whole body is transformed into a flame with a temperature of more than one million. And mining has to rely on the mining robot to knock off the corners little by little to separate it from the rock. Such a large piece of monolithic silver concentrate is to be mined...... You have to get rid of the parts below the first grade, and this task seems to be no easier than taking the entire planet.
"Meaningless!" Buppa smiled and asked Xiaoxing to release the Devouring Beast in the storage space, "There is a nemesis!
The nemesis, which had returned to its original size, shook its head and tail for a while, and soon pounced on the whole piece of silver essence under the drive of the forest tree!
--The huge and hard silver essence is soft like tofu in the nemesis's mouth. They were bitten off piece by piece, into the nemesis' massive mouth, and then out of the space around their necks. By this time, it has become a finished silver concentrate with all rock impurities removed.
