In 3570, the emigrant fleet had been sailing on the Grey Stream for more than half a century, although Fleet 2 was in Triangulum? The Galactic Stream was at a much faster pace than theirs, and knowing that they would definitely not be able to catch up, Qiao Qianshan seemed unflustered.

The storage capacity of the Starship ships of the No. 1 Immigration Fleet has so far exceeded 85%, compared to 50% a few decades ago, and the reason for all this is undoubtedly the new material recovery technology, which allows them to accumulate a considerable amount of materials in a short period of time, which can be squandered at will.

It is also worth mentioning that six years ago, during the replenishment of the lonely star system that was docked on the star stream with a routine deceleration, they sent multiple spacecraft to encircle and suppress a metal asteroid with a diameter of 80 kilometers, from which they plundered more than 2 million tons of high-purity metal ore, which can be used to do a lot of things.

Unlike in ancient times, sea ships and spaceships were constantly able to obtain material replenishment, and the greater benefit of ensuring the abundance of supplies at all times was reflected in the aspect of safety; With the diversification of the functions of the spaceship and starship, the fleet can still be produced normally during the voyage, and after having enough materials, the fleet will become like life and can continue to grow during the voyage.

This is the real meaning of the existence of the new material recovery technology, and it is also the purpose of the Academy of Sciences to concentrate on developing and promoting it to the immigrant fleet, think about it, 500 years later, they have worked hard from the Milky Way to the Triangular Galaxy, and the result is that the size of the entire fleet is several times more than when they set off, what an exciting thing it is, and it will make their speed of exploring the galaxy skyrocket.

Qiao Yishan looked at the materials they had at hand, and then he asked the artificial intelligence to distribute all kinds of daily necessities, strategic materials, unmanned units, etc. consumed by the immigrant fleet according to the regular production, and complete the normal supply of materials.

Then it came to the most critical moment, they still had a lot of surplus supplies, and if they wanted to expand the fleet, the basis was undoubtedly to have spaceships, and he decided to build a few flying and morning star ships first, which were fast and convenient.

So he saw that with the issuance of his order, the Hurricane-class unmanned starships in the fleet, as well as the spacecraft with a production factory, hurriedly started construction, first mobilized materials and manpower from this spacecraft, and then the preliminary processing.

The manufacturing environment on the spaceship is not necessarily as bad as that on the ground, and in the vacuum environment, whether it is the purification of materials or the shaping of components, the difficulty will be greatly reduced, which is essentially moving the factory on the ground.

So during this period, there was no need to slow down because of manufacturing, and the immigrant fleet always maintained 15,000 times the speed of light in the star stream.

In the blink of an eye, the various components used in several spacecraft, such as fusion energy reactors, stargate equipment, outer armor plates, cabins, etc., have been manufactured, and then the immigrant fleet slowly slowed down and stopped at this moment.

However, this mooring is not only for assembly, in addition to a few spaceships that will gradually drag out the parts of the spacecraft to assemble, there will also be spaceships dedicated to replenishing fuel and mining deposits, as well as completing the distribution of materials on the spacecraft.

After all, after a period of sailing, the materials inside the spaceship will be in an unbalanced state for various reasons, and under the speed of light, there is no way to exchange materials, so you have to take advantage of this time to get everything.

Not long after the ship returned from mining the mine, they returned with a large amount of supplies needed by the fleet, thus bringing back their low-level supplies back to normal.

The new ship components that were towed out of the ship were assembled in about 2 weeks, and there were 2 more Flying Ships and 2 Morning Ships in the entire Migration Fleet.

The newly built spaceship is still empty, there is nothing in it, after the artificial intelligence is implanted, first control the spacecraft to keep following the fleet, and then move the mountain and then allocate the corresponding materials to maintain the spaceship's long-term voyage.

Just as the number of ships will increase during the migration fleet towards the triangulum galaxy, the number of immigrants will also increase due to natural reproduction, so there is no need to worry about no one to control the ships.

In the end, of course, Qiao Qianshan appointed the people on the new ship, and a considerable number of people were still asleep, so they were directly moved in, and some of them woke up to complete the acceptance by applying for deployment on their own, as well as appointing a new captain and crew.

The immigrant fleet then completed the first expansion, their reserves of materials were suddenly reduced, and they were able to continue to accumulate resources, and the addition of 4 new spaceships made the entire fleet accommodate immigrants, materials, and productivity improved, and when they found the next opportunity to anchor and rest, they were afraid that they would get more new ships, and even produce starships.

Qiao Qianshan thought about it, I am afraid that even he himself did not expect that the immigrant fleet would complete their voyage in this way, the reason why the immigrant fleet that set sail from the Great Magellanic system before was not larger was because the development time of the Great Magellanic system was short, and the productivity was not enough to support the development of this level of exploration activities, and now, through this way, their shortcomings would be remedied.

Qiao Yishan couldn't help but look forward to their exploration of the Triangulum Galaxy. (To be continued.) )
