The other five hulls were for the miners, and the pirate ship, which was slightly larger than the frigate and smaller than the destroyer, was reserved for himself. The mining barge is good, and the uncle also uses it very easily, but he can't go anywhere to open a barge.

How to say, the mining barge is like a mud truck in the earth age, it is very suitable to transport goods and run construction sites to earn money, but it is not suitable to go to the city to visit the supermarket and buy things and get a big truck.

This corsair has the basic design and materials similar to that of a warship, but it is not a warship, and there is no need to go to the Integration Department for inspection when the spaceship is registered in the future, and civilian ships can complete the procedures in the space station.

But it is not a purely civilian ship, the main brain bandwidth is larger, and there is more room for improvement. Even if you can't get the antimatter energy core yourself, don't you get back a lot of graviton energy cores, and the tinkering will be stronger than the original power.

With a sufficient power supply, you can consider the defense problem, the hibernator has its own silver-like superalloy armor smelting formula, and it is impossible to manufacture it on a large scale, so it is no problem to get a small amount and use it yourself.

In addition to the armor plate, Hong Tao also wants to come up with another set of energy shield system, such a combination of soft and hard, virtual and real, and one inside and one outside, which should greatly improve the defense of the spaceship, how high is it...... You'll have to try it before you know.

With power and defense, it still can't meet Hong Tao's needs. He didn't plan to be a pirate, let alone rob a passing ship, but he couldn't just be beaten and not fight back when he encountered pirates, which didn't suit his style.

In terms of weapons, the original three pulsed laser generators on the spaceship will not be used, so they can only be dismantled and converted into laser miners for Old John. For the time being, you can only buy civilian missile launchers, and you can install a few if you can, plus those electronic drones, it seems that you can also make do with counterattacks.

Super alloy armor plus energy shield, with space ballistics and electronic drones, this is the best plan that Hong Tao has figured out. Armor and energy shields can withstand damage, use drones to interfere, and use missiles to fight. It not only fully increases the defense power, but also ensures a certain strength of attack power, and does not occupy the bandwidth of the ship's main brain, what a perfect combination!

From this day on, Hong Tao became the busiest person in the whole space station. During the period of sailing with the mining team, every time the miners were sleeping and resting, he ran back to the small factory in the space alone to transform the spaceship with a group of robots, and had to return to the mine for a few hours to continue mining with everyone. When I returned to the space station to rest, I simply soaked in the factory and didn't go out, not eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing with a bunch of parts.

That's where Anhaka comes in handy, and when Hong Tao is away, he does menial work, such as hiring a barge from the space station to go to the anchorage to bring back the parts that the robot needs to handle. Or go to the nearest trade space station to purchase, after all, picking up the rags is not disassembled as a whole, and some parts have to be used with new ones.

This is more than two months, sometimes Hong Tao forgets the date, anyway, there is no day and night and the season, and there is no need to eat and sleep on time. The idle time is longer than the week, and when you are busy, time flies, and it is just a moment away.

The construction speed of the first Squirrel class was relatively slow, and the trouble was one after another from the beginning of the parts, either the robots went on strike because of process design problems, or they were doing it and suddenly ran out of materials, and they all had to stop work and wait for materials.

It took a full month and a day for the miner, which still looked like a tattered outward, to transform from a module to a complete body. The first trial voyage was also piloted by Hong Tao himself, and he worked at the mine site for six hours. When it was handed over to the young miners, greed sparkled in the eyes of everyone except Nouel.

It is indeed a good mining ship, the gathering speed is more than 30% higher than that of the same level, and the miners with slightly stronger abilities can even operate alone and rest while collecting.

The ship's main brain is small and lean, and it doesn't have too many fancy features, but it handles routine operations and professional skills very smoothly. The energy core and the modified collector are also more powerful, even if the power of the main capacitor is empty, it can be collected by relying on the direct power supply of the energy core, and it can continue to work for hundreds of hours without stopping for charging.

With the experience of assembling the first ship, the second to the fifth is getting faster and faster. This is also the advantage of intelligent robots, they have no creativity, but the imitation is super strong, there has been a successful experience, the hundredth, thousandth, ten thousand times are all exactly the same as the first time, unless it is changed manually, it is difficult to make mistakes.

But when it came to Hong Tao's own Mole, the progress dropped again, and his requirements for this spacecraft were too high, today it was still three graviton reactors, and tomorrow I don't know what I remembered, and I had to change it to five immediately. Before the robots could install the extra two, he changed his mind again, saying that four were more space-saving.

That is, the robot will not complain, otherwise it would have struck a long time ago. Such a verbose leader really can't serve, not only verbose but also slamming the door, and not paying overtime at all!

On this day, the mining team just came back, Hong Tao went into the small factory again, the main shell module and energy module of the Mole were basically completed, and the main brain system could only be activated when it was finally assembled, and it was temporarily stored in the barge. Now the most troublesome thing is the weapon system, the detection and locking device is easy to do, the scientific research robot is the best at dealing with such electronic equipment, but the drone cabin is difficult to do.

According to the current structural layout, the cabin can only carry three cluster electronic drones modified by mining drones, which is far from the five designed by Hong Tao.

"Don't go to the banquet, don't bother me these days, you can attend on behalf of the mining team." Annoying, Anhaka, who was supposed to be in the factory but didn't show up for most of the day, suddenly appeared, in addition to paying the buyer clearly, he also brought a good news that he thought, the stationmaster is invited!

It is said that the visit of a big man to the Alfonso space station is also related to the new company that purchased mineral raw materials, or it is simply the top management of that company. Anyway, Alfonso welcomed it very warmly, and with the company's crazy moves, the space station is a dead child's fart. For this reason, the station master decided to hold a welcome banquet and invite all the mine heads stationed in the space station.

There is no need for Anhaka nonsense if there is any inside story, Hong Tao can guess it with his toes, this kind of action is too much to see in the Earth era. Alfonso was going to show goodwill to the other party, but he didn't think it was grand, so he simply called the mine heads to rush to the storefront, and by the way, mobilized the mine heads to supply more to the company.

I really don't have the time to accompany these people to laugh and laugh, if I usually pinch my nose and go over to have a look, it's a big deal to find an excuse to slip away halfway. But now his ship will face the doom of another premature death, who still has that mood.

"Hey, come here...... Stand still and let me touch it! As soon as Anhaka heard that he was going to attend the banquet held by the stationmaster on behalf of the rat mining team, the snot bubbles were almost beautiful, and he agreed without saying a word. Just about to leave, he was called back by Hong Tao, and he touched his whole body.

"I don't need this expression, I want to make you a dress. Anyway, you are also the agent of the mining team, you can't just wear skin clothes to the banquet, those high-ranking guys value a person's appearance the most, whether they really have the ability to do it they don't care. By the way, there is no skin coating equipment in the space station."

Looking at Anhaka's appearance that he wanted to hide but didn't dare to hide and the crying and laughing expression on his face, Hong Tao knew what he was thinking. It's in vain to think about it, don't say that you don't have any habits, and if you have anything, you won't look for him like this, and when you wake up in the middle of the night, you can be scared.

The skin coating equipment is in Hawk's laboratory, and this old man has a dead face, but he is the leading high-tech talent here. From this aspect, you can also know what grade the Alfonso space station is, and there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate.

"Am I wearing a little too ostentatious......" When a black dress with silver trim was put on, even Old Hawk couldn't stop nodding, saying that this kind of line with an obvious antique style is very tasteful. Anhaka was even more shameless, and pretended to be embarrassed.

"If you can grow ten more pounds of meat, it's better than anything else!" In fact, Hong Tao is not satisfied with this work, how it looks like a monkey wearing human clothes on Anhaka's body. But that's hurting, and there's no primates in New Eden.
