Chapter 5: Return to the Sea of Stars
Liu Qi turned into a mining maniac and dug up in the underground ore veins, and used exchange points to exchange for food and oxygen if there was not enough, but unfortunately the system did not buy basic elements such as iron, and only sold zero elements, and it was amazingly expensive! One unit (i.e. 1 cubic meter) of zero element is enough for 100 exchange points, but oxygen and the like are much cheaper.
Digging and digging, I don't know how long it took, where did the digging go, Liu Qi cut off the last ore in front of him with a particle cutter, threw it into the warehouse of the system, turned around and continued to walk, but at this time, he suddenly saw a beam of light! Walking along the light, Liu Qi came to the surface, at this time, Liu Qi found that he had dug more than 90 kilometers, nearly 100 kilometers away from the place where he woke up, but at this time, Liu Qi had enough resources to make two "Brilliant I.", so Liu Qi turned around and went to the place where the spaceship crashed, and at the same time, he did not forget to recover the "Natural Selection" on the way.
Recycling is a new skill opened at level 5, (ps: The warehouse of the manufacturing workshop can infinitely store the elements used to make munitions such as the troops and zeros it makes, and after putting it in, it will automatically become a resource point at an equivalent value, and the elements will not be written in the future, and the resource points will be used instead.) The wreck of the "Natural Selection" brought 200,000+ resource points, and nearly 100 "Tejas I".
Returning to his crashed second-hand frigate again, Liu Qi scavenged some special things from above-the diary of the original owner, and the navigation log of the "Natural Selection"!
Liu Qi first opened the manufacturing interface, selected "Radiance I" and prepared to start manufacturing, at this time, an operation interface popped up:
Manufactured: "Tejas I" frigate
Main guns: 1 high-power fusion reaction cannon of "Hunt I"; (Replaceable: Dragoon I. Railgun*1)
Secondary cannons: 4 particle cannons of "Tracer II"; (Replaceable: Kun missile launch slot*2)
Reactor: "Halo II" fusion reactor*1 (Replaceable: "Nature II" reactor*1)
Energy Transmission: 200 m Cable (Replaceable: Subdimensional Superconductivity)
Armor: 30mm homogeneous armor (replaceable: "AMA" hollow armor (on battleships))
……
Consumption: 2000 resource points, 3h;
Liu Qi replaced the energy transmission with second-dimensional superconductivity, and then replaced the reactor with "Natural Type II", and then, after spending 6,000 resource points, began to manufacture. Obviously, it is second-dimensional superconductivity that is expensive.
Subsequently, Liu Qi put away the manufacturing panel, opened the technology tree, and spent 40 technology points to carry out the forward engineering of the "Nature II" reactor, and the result was three options:
One. Reloaded·" "Natural Type II": The efficiency of the reactor is modified, so that the output energy of the reactor increases significantly at the same time, but the volume will increase. (Systematic review: the transformation of the Soviet heavy industry style!) )
Two. Light · "Nature Type II": The reactor is modified to make the reactor more compact and slightly less efficient, suitable for fighters and other aircraft (system evaluation: short and concise!). )
Three: "Natural III". "Natural III": The all-round upgrade of the reactor is that its volume and efficiency have been improved to a certain extent, but the single improvement is not as good as the above. (Systematic review: I want them all!) )
The third one was decisively chosen, after all, the volume of the "Radiance I" was completely insufficient to carry a larger reactor, and it was better not to change the inefficiency.
Liu Qi replaced the reactor at the manufacturing interface with "Natural Type III", and the manufacturing time increased by 1 hour again, consuming 500 more resource points, and Liu Qi at this time only had 197,500 resource points left. And the price of instant research and development is that Liu Qi's exchange point is reduced to 0.
During the four-hour wait, Liu Qi flipped through the original owner's diary and the voyage log of the "Natural Selection".
In the end, Liu Qi figured out everything: he was originally an intern researcher, and it was very bloody that his girlfriend was taken by the son of a certain family, and the original owner of the bloody Fang Gang couldn't bear it, so he discounted the child's leg on the spot, and then was wanted by the Federation, arrested and sent to the front-line combat unit, in a previous battle, was forced to make a space jump, yes, the original second-hand frigate was equipped with a trial curvature engine! Apparently he failed and jumped onto planet A233, and the space jump also caused the battleship's shield to shut down on the spot, and the wind and sand blew the coolant tank, causing the coolant to drain, the reactor overheated in the air and shut down, and the battleship crashed.
And the so-called "Natural Selection" is by no means a Federation warship, but it can be seen from the words of that captain, and the reason why it calls itself an ensign is indeed a coincidence, and the "Natural Selection" is a disguised Imperial warship! The communication between the Empire and the Federation is far less than the public knows, and it seems that the war between the two is also intentional by the high-level officials, the two sides have been deadlocked for decades, and the war consumes a lot of information, but according to the logbook of the "Natural Selection", the two sides are not at war at all! The so-called war may just be a fig leaf for the high-level looting of the people's fat and people's ointment! It is no wonder that in recent years, the anti-war voices of the Federation and the Empire have been rising, and the resistance against the government has also sprung up, perhaps, this is the truth!
And the original owner, it seems that he particularly yearns for a place - Shenzhou, that is, the ruling star area of the old Chinese government, after the spaceship was developed, the Western powers abandoned the earth one after another, chose to open up a new living planet, and created a new cosmic situation, while Huaguo (i.e., Shenzhou), continued to run the earth, and remained neutral in the former Third World War (the period of the division of the old Federation), and did not participate in the war between the empire and the Federation, it seems to be a paradise.
With questions, 4 hours flew by.
Suddenly, Liu Qi thought of something, he recovered the original crashed frigate, and installed the curvature engine on it on the new battleship, so the resource point came to 198000.
Bite! Manufacturing is complete
Battleship:??? (Destroyer)
Main guns: 1 high-power fusion reaction cannon of "Hunt I";
Secondary cannons: 4 particle cannons of "Tracer II";
Reactor: "Nature Type III" fusion reactor;
Energy Transport: Subdimensional Superconductivity;
Armor: 30mm homogeneous armor;
Shield: Prototype phase offset shield;
Propulsion: Prototype curvature engine*1, plasma thruster*2
Remaining weapon slots: 2;
Systematic review: A destroyer with the heart of a battleship is really weird!
Liu Qi was shocked by the system again, he actually started to use classical Chinese, could it be that he would use oracle bone script next time?
Consider that the battleship was named: "Horizon".
Take the Horizon out of the construction workshop, Liu Qi enters the battleship, the "Horizon" is extremely intelligent, so Liu Qi can play alone, but if it is a battleship or something, Liu Qi alone will definitely not be able to drive away.
"Welcome, captain" A young girl appeared in front of Liu Qi out of thin air, "I am the ship's shipboard light brain, please name me." ”
"Mo Qinghan" Liu Qi popped up the word in his head for some reason (in fact, it was [未 (zuo) 知 (zhe)] found it from an ancient poem)
"Understood," the girl bowed, "then, Captain, please give the order." ”
"Turn on the engine, all the ground vents are opened, target Shenzhou, set sail!" Liu Qidao.
"Understood, please fasten your seatbelt, you can't get out of the car halfway!" The girl chuckled, her fingers out of thin air.
"Ground engine on" This time, it was a cold mechanical voice from the light brain, "Current thrust: 2,000 N"
"Keep growing!" Liu Qi can't wait to see the brilliance of the Milky Way.
"Deflection nozzle downspin 90 degrees, completed, current thrust: 4,000 N" Subsequently, the "Horizon" rose straight into the air.
The altitude is about 750 km
"Main engine on, target setting: Shenzhou" The two plasma vents at the tail of the "Horizon" glowed blue, and from then on, the "Horizon" began to accelerate until it reached a cruising speed of 1/15th of the speed of light.
"Career Mission: Return to the Sea of Stars, Complete!"
"Rewards: Level +5, Tech Points x50, Exchange Points *500"
"Current level: 9; Current Balance: Science and Technology Points: 50; Exchange Point: 500; Resource point: 198000" sent a congratulatory message to Liu Qiqi in a timely manner.
