Chapter 9: Heriopolis
Under the order of the Golden Emperor, the crew put on extravehicular suits, which are personal airtight equipment to ensure the life activities and work ability of astronauts. It can protect the space from environmental factors such as vacuum, high and low temperatures, solar radiation and micrometeors. In a vacuum, the nitrogen contained in the human blood turns into a gas, causing the volume to expand. If a person does not wear a pressurized and airtight extravehicular suit, his life will be in danger due to the huge pressure difference between the inside and outside of the body.
With the gradual improvement of science and technology, the spacesuit is no longer the most primitive bulky shape, but has evolved into a kind of nanofiber covering the surface of the human body, with vacuum heat insulation, liquid cooling tubes and radiation resistance. In addition, for safety protection, a layer of gallium-indium alloy is covered with nanofibers in vitro. Indoors, because the melting point of gallium and indium alloy is too low, the alloy will be in a liquid state for a long time to adsorb on the spacesuit, once the crew enters the vacuum environment, the gallium indium alloy embedded in the groove of the spacesuit will instantly solidify, becoming a second protective layer outside the skin.
In addition, the oxygen helmet is also embedded in the grooves of the spacesuit, and the entire extravehicular suit has completely no restrictions on the movement of the crew.
"Captain, do cyborgs wear extravehicular suits too?" Shati looked at the Golden Emperor, who was also covered with gallium and indium alloy, and asked his own question on the walkie-talkie.
"Just to be on the safe side."
In fact, the Golden Emperor did not try to completely expose himself to a vacuum, except that he didn't know if he could survive in an oxygen-free environment, and the solar magnetic storm that he didn't know when it would occur made him have to be ten thousand more careful.
Under the orders of the Golden Emperor, two crew members were stationed inside the spaceship, waiting for the return of the Golden Emperor and the remaining ten or so crew members.
"Don't lose it, everyone hold on to the rope and control the spray distance."
The Enchanted Star is twice the size of the Moon and orbits the Calamity in an irregular elliptical orbit. It rotates for exactly the same time as it orbits around Calamity, so the curse star will always face the Calamity with the same face.
When La Anies Yatum told the Golden Emperor that he had a weapon that could destroy an entire moon at one time on the curse star, the Golden Emperor didn't believe it very much, because if he really had, he would probably have already been included in the Earth Federation or the Superstar Empire, so how could he get his turn.
But after telling Emperor Jin all the information about that weapon, Emperor Jin had a small calculation in his heart. Spawned from the old Atum and placed inside the Spell Star, it is a weapon that belongs to Atum and can only be used by Atum's successors.
In this way, even if you can't use it yourself, you can sell it to the old Yatum.
According to the description of the memory pull, the Golden Emperor came to the center point of the front of the curse star, that is, the center point of the side that always faces the disaster star, where most of the disaster stars can be seen above the head of the Golden Emperor, and even the gravity has changed slightly.
"That's it."
In front of the Golden Emperor, there is a reflector of about one square meter, reflecting the light from the Calamity, and it is also the only piece of ground on the Curse Star that is different from the other surfaces.
The Golden Emperor took off his gloves, and his organic protective layer swelled slightly in the vacuum, but it was not yet shattered. He placed his somewhat deformed hand on the reflector, as if triggering the reflector's sensing layer, which no longer reflected, but immediately sagged, revealing an internal passage.
"The Curse Star is artificial?" Shati exclaimed, she covered her mouth in surprise, but forgot that she was in a cosmic environment, and what she was covering was only the mirror of the oxygen supply helmet.
"It's not artificial, it's just that the people of the colony took advantage of the chaos to build a research institute here and make weapons, but they didn't have time to send the weapons back to Atum." After speaking, the Golden Emperor took the lead in jumping into the passage.
But the moment he entered the passage, the entire direction of gravity changed, but it was only a few tens of meters down, and the whole person of the Golden Emperor was lying on the wall.
Centuries ago, the gravity generators inside the institute had not stopped working, which meant that there was still an energy supply inside the institute.
It was dark, and the Golden Emperor turned on the light that came with the oxygen supply helmet, and the moment the crew followed the Golden Emperor into the research institute, the external door had been closed, and the reflector returned to its original position.
"Be careful, follow me."
Step by step, the Golden Emperor put himself at the front of the group, and he didn't want to lose any valuable crew members.
Perhaps the floor under his feet felt the change in gravity, as the Golden Emperor moved forward, the lights gradually turned on, and the solid gallium indium alloy on his body gradually turned into a liquid state, and everyone took off their extravehicular suits under the reminder of the environmental detector attached to the helmet.
This is an aerobic environment.
The lights gradually brightened until the lights of the entire institute were turned on, and they finally saw the scene in front of them.
This is not a research institute, but a huge factory!
Parts, conveyors, machine tools......
Everything that the shipyard has is here, and even an entire Nagafa-class dreadnought can be produced here in just one month.
"So our weapons are this shipyard?" Neve calculated in his heart that now the entire ship industry is monopolized by the solar system business community and the earth military industry, they have the best technology and sufficient manpower, and all private shipyards will be destroyed or acquired by them in any way, and gradually no one has the idea of building ships.
If they own a shipyard, they can completely win over a large number of Tianmei, gather Tianmei, and pass through the technological development force left by the shipyard.
As a weapon, it can indeed deal a big blow to the Earth Federation.
But looking at the surprised expression of the Golden Emperor, Neve was stunned.
"Don't you know there's a shipyard here?"
"I don't know what Rah told me about Heriopolis."
"Heriopolis? What is that? ”
"That's it." The Golden Emperor pointed ahead, and that was the end of the light.
The huge thrusters were the size of a building, and the golden exterior armor was even a little glaring in the light, and people thought it was another factory, but they didn't care when they looked at it, because it was so huge. It wasn't until Emperor Jin's reminder that they discovered that such a spaceship the size of a mothership was in storage.
Heriopolis, also known as the Heriopolis-class railgun attack platform.
It was a ship, or more appropriately a mobile battery, a weapon capable of destroying the entire moon at once.
"What are you kidding, it's at least three times bigger than the Earth Federation's space station."
"You can go in and see."
As soon as the words were spoken, the crew rushed towards Heriopolis.
And the Golden Emperor stood aside and turned on the computer from hundreds of years ago.
"Beautiful, this old antique is not broken."
Originally, he just wanted to check the details of this shipyard and the parameters of the Heriopolis class, but unexpectedly, after the computer was turned on, the Golden Emperor saw something he had only heard about in his dreams from the console interface.
