Chapter 2: Inspection Phase

On September 10, 2069, the Explorer was in the final inspection phase, but at this critical moment, the No. 3 thruster discovered a problem during the experiment.

"Team 1 checks the ship's dormant system, and the others go with me to test Thruster Three." Halsey, the leader of the Explorer's research team, commanded.

"Reportedly, the No. 4 and No. 1 and No. 2 thrusters are up to the mark, but No. 3 is still one light-year short of power." A researcher standing in front of a pile of instruments frowned.

Halsey raised an eyebrow, "Which area is the third thruster responsible for?"

"Sleeping Pod"

"How long will it take you to fix it?"

"Minimum 3 months"

"Impossible, I'll see how you can cultivate in space in three months, I'll only give you 72 hours! I

eed it! (I need it)" Halsey roared, "and if you can't do it, you and I will wash the toilet in the military prison together!" ”

The researcher looked at Halsey and blinked, didn't speak, and turned to get into work.

How big is the Explorer? 900 square meters? 1000 square meters? No, 200,000 square meters! Among them, the sky farm occupies 30,000 square meters, plus 70,000 square meters of fuel storage room and 30,000 meters of material storage room, the living space of residents is really small. However, the United Nations also considered this issue, and after much consideration, the United Nations decided to make the Hope and Comfort. Carrying supplies and inhabitants that the Explorer could not carry. However, the reality is cruel, due to the negligence of the researchers during the production of the Hope, the Hope suddenly exploded during the preparation stage, and many excellent military personnel and researchers died. Nightmares followed, and the Comfort had to reduce its capacity from 12,000 square meters to 90,000 square meters due to time constraints, which not only caused a lot of supplies to be transported on the ship, but also forced the United Nations to make the decision to "draw lots". That is, each country can only have 5,000 inhabitants and 5,000 scientific and technological personnel to board the spacecraft, and the rest of the personnel will "contribute to the future of mankind and stay on the ground", which is actually waiting for death. This is also a decision made out of desperation, there will be no chance to call it, and there is only one way to get into the Explorer: by lottery. Not only are many residents unable to walk, but even the US Prime Minister has not been able to draw tickets and can only stay on the ground and "contribute" to the future of mankind.

The Explorer is just the largest manned spacecraft in the Explorer fleet, just like the transport ship in the aircraft carrier fleet, and the cruiser in the fleet is the "Doom" Doom is made in China and is equipped with 4 **launchers**, and all ** are the most advanced J12 lasers**. The Doom not only has a laser cannon, but also loads 17 F40 fighters, the F40 fighters have strong combat capabilities, and both sides of the wing are equipped with J10 laser** and F1216 radar systems, which makes the F40 instantly lose this old antique when it is with the F35PK.

I am afraid that only the "Bismarck" can serve as a battleship in the fleet, yes, it is Bismarck, a legendary German warship during World War II, who sank the Hood with one shot. The Bismarck had 10 O70 laser cannons, which are said to have caused a brief power outage on the Bismarck when fired. In addition to the laser cannon, the Bismarck also has a series of laser guns and lasers**, and when all the fire systems of the Bismarck fire at the same time, the aliens have to be bombarded to slag! Spoiler alert: in the later story, our protagonist Long Boyu pilots the Bismarck.

There are a total of 7 ships in the Explorer fleet, in addition to these four ships, there are also 3 transport ships, namely "Sailing", "Hope" and "Expedition". All three ships were not large, and their only use was to transport supplies or carry residents.
