"In that case, how does a small survival ship fit five hundred people?"

"The hull modules used by small ships are solid metal armor modules, while the hull modules used by survival ships are functional prefabricated hulls, which are not limited in size, the smallest can be one cubic meter, and the largest can reach fifty cubic meters. The difference from the hull of an ordinary small ship is that the hull of a small survival ship is not armor and cannot provide armor protection for the hull, so it can only be used for a special ship type such as a survival ship. ”

"Small survival ships only have a thin hull?!"

"Correct, strictly speaking, the hull is two-layered. However, the protection is very weak, this hull cannot withstand the attack of ordinary weapons, and any meteorite can easily penetrate the hull. "The holographic projection shows a cross-section of two ships, and the hull of one marked as a small passenger ship is protected by thick armor blocks, and external attacks will be blocked by armor layers, much like the armor of a tank to block a bullet. The hull of another small survival ship is only a thin two-layer shell, and external attacks can easily penetrate the hull, like a car pressed out of iron sheets.

Su Tianzong understood that the survival ship was a thin-skinned stuffed thing, although it could fit five hundred people, but the protection ability was amazingly weak, and it would be finished if it was hit: "The small survival ship is so fragile, is it necessary to exist?" ”

"Small survival ships are fast to build, consume less materials, and can be produced in large quantities. It is suitable for building in environments with few resources, and most materials are easily available. The most important thing is that it can survive forever, as long as the number of people is guaranteed to be within 500 and not attacked. ”

"Heh, if you can survive forever, why don't you use this technology in a space shelter?"

"The sustainable technology of the survival ship is based on the development of human battery technology, and the personnel on the survival ship use themselves as an energy source to provide energy for the survival ship. With energy, the survival ship can produce synthetic food and water in large quantities, as well as carry out dynamic recycling and reuse of environmental resources. This technology will only be used in extreme escape situations, while space shelters can provide more survival options without the need for such extreme techniques. ”

Su Tianzong looked at it in a cold sweat, how could it feel a little familiar to use people as batteries to power the spaceship. It seems that there is a science fiction movie that does the same, but it is the story of robots enslaving humans and using them as batteries.

"How could the Human Republic approve the use of such a terrible technology?" Su Tianzong didn't dare to imagine that five hundred people were put in a metal coffin and used as a battery to drain people.

"The technology is very safe, and the energy obtained by the human body is also naturally released during human sleep. Five hundred people sleep in three periods, which can provide the survival ship with the energy it needs. ”

"Whew, it's better to be like this."

After asking the basic concept clearly, Su Tianzong planned to actually operate it, first of all, he clicked on the type of construction that needed to be built on the control screen of the basic welding tool, and he chose the small passenger ship under the category of small ships. A large number of icons suddenly popped up in front of Su Tianzong's eyes, all of which were thumbnails of various hull modules. The most basic module is a square block armor, ten centimeters in size. There are also armor blocks of different shapes, such as beveled, curved, triangular, etc., which are the basic armor module styles set up for the shape of the hull. In addition to the hull module, the largest number is the functional module, different types of cockpit modules, seat modules, catering modules, form modules, ion propulsion engine modules, energy furnace modules, gravity modules, landing gear modules and so on.

Most of the icons for these modules are red and cannot be used for the time being. Only the hull armor module and the landing gear module are blue, which means that they must be built from the hull or landing gear. After Su Tianzong clicked on the landing gear, a half-human-high holographic projection of the landing gear immediately appeared in front of him, and this virtual projection would move with his line of sight, and it would rotate the direction and angle with his gestures, which meant that Su Tianzong could place it in any position he wanted to build.

The holographic tutorial of "ZX" reappeared: "There are two ways to build holographic projections for small ships, one is to use basic welding tools to build module by module, and the other is to use a blueprint holographic projector to scan the already built ships to get a holographic blueprint. Then use the blueprint holographic projector to project the blueprint of the entire ship, and then you can build it as a whole. Blueprint holographic projectors can be found in all categories of basic fabrication tools. ”

"Understood" Su Tianzong probably understood the principle of this thing, to put it bluntly, it is the mode of building blocks, but this thing can also save the building block shapes that have been made, and the shapes are projected.

Su Tianzong put the holographic projection of the landing gear on the open space and pressed the welding function button. The light screen immediately indicated that he had not found any material.

"You are not carrying any building materials, please prepare the materials you need on the list and put them in the material box that you carry with you. A 3D printer was detected and connected. The 3D printer is currently performing a printing task and cannot print construction materials for the time being, please select an idle 3D printer. ”

"ZX, what does that mean?" Su Tianzong carefully looked at the list of construction materials on the light screen, which showed fifteen small prefabricated steel plates, four electric drive motors, twenty small steel pipes, five medium-sized steel pipes, and ten buffer lining plates.

"These are the basic prefabricated parts necessary to build a starship, the parts are made by a 3D printer, and then the nanomachinery in the basic welding tool automatically uses these parts to make modules for holographic projection presets. You need to have these parts ready in advance, or connect them to a 3D printer to produce them automatically. Once printed, an auxiliary drone will transport the parts to your material bin. ”

"Where's the material box? Why didn't I see it? Su Tianzong looked around and didn't see the so-called material box.

"You need to use a 3D printer to make a material box, so bring the basic welding tool close to the 3D printer, select the tool from the control side, and there is the material box."

"Okay, you still need a 3D printer." Su Tianzhong sighed helplessly and turned off the holographic projection of the landing gear. He walked over to the 3D printer with his basic welding tools, which were still printing the Hidden Blade, and there were still more than twenty minutes left. Su Tianzong simply took out another portable 3D printer from the warehouse, unfolded it without much effort, and adjusted the infinite power supply device.
