"Unwilling...... It's useless. ”

Lowering his hand, Arthur looked out the window at the starry sky.

The place he was in at the moment was a shattered planetary belt that explorers called the 'Graveyard'.

The reason why it is called 'Graveyard' is that in addition to the fact that it looks like a planetary graveyard, it also means that it must be very dangerous.

This point has been practiced by Arthur with his own experience.

"It's still too sweet to say it's a crysis."

The irregular movement of broken material outside, maybe a change in trajectory, will crash into this vulnerable lifeboat.

In that case, Arthur and the garbage lifeboat under him will become cosmic debris with a 'boom~'.

It seems a little exciting to think about it...... Your sister! (Fall)

"The lifeboat is running out of energy, please get ready, captain."

As the saying goes, a house leak happens to rain overnight.

That's what happened to Arthur right now.

Just when he was still worried about whether he would be killed by some blind little meteorite, the garbage-exploding artificial intelligence of this lifeboat brought him bad news again.

Energy - gone!

But if you think about it carefully, for such a small lifeboat, the energy is originally integrated with the fuel, and there is no so-called backup energy or anything.

I can understand it, but ......

"It's going to be even more doomed now!!"

If there is no energy, there will be no means to maintain the ambient temperature.

Without a thermostatic device, Arthur is not the kind of transformation warrior or Saiyan who can even survive directly in the galaxy, and there is only one effect waiting for his end.

That's to be frozen into a popsicle.

“……”

After struggling for a while between becoming a cosmic residue or becoming a popsicle, Arthur sadly discovers that he really has to die this time.

After a moment of silence, the boy reached out with some trembling hands and opened a hidden device on the lifeboat console.

"At least, let me die less painfully, right?"

Gritting his teeth, he opened the hidden device, and looked at the blood-red 'self-destruct' button inside, Arthur hesitated for a long time, but he never had the courage to press it.

He is a coward who is afraid of death after all.

"How can you give up until the last minute?"

With a self-deprecating laugh, he found a decent reason for himself, and Arthur fell to the ground with a thud as if he had exhausted all his strength.

In the two hours since he woke up, so much had happened, too much for him to accept.

Fate is so tricky.

Since he was given a chance to live again, he took it away so quickly.

Is...... Fucking!

If there really is such a thing as a goddess of fate, Arthur swears that he must her hard!

Life is like forcible ~ rape, if you can't enjoy it, give me to resist!

"Labor and management, so you won't just admit defeat!"

Picking himself up again, Arthur gritted his teeth, struggling to get to his feet as he struggled to control his frozen body.

It's not a desperate situation yet, there must still be a chance!

With this belief in mind, Arthur glanced at the rescue pod.

"If it was this lifeboat, it would have been there, right?"

The temperature around is getting lower and lower, the thermostat has been useless three seconds ago, and the garbage intelligence of the pit daddy has been completely scrapped.

In the rescue chamber, only a faint emergency application light is still working, but the faint light is also slowly weakening at the moment, and it looks like it may go out at any time.

Time is running out.

Arthur had to find it before the lights went out, otherwise, it would have been even more difficult for Arthur to find what he needed in the darkness when it turned into darkness, and he wasn't a night owl who was born with night vision.

The body has begun to tremble involuntarily, and the temperature around it has definitely reached below -10, maybe even lower.

After all, in his memory, the expensive aristocratic clothes on his body were not simple goods.

When the old butler brought it to himself, he said that even if he was in Antarctica or Africa, he would not feel the slightest change in temperature when he wore this suit.

And now, I can still feel the cold in this state of wearing this kind of clothes, and the temperature around me is estimated to be quite low.

Interstellar navigation is indeed much more dangerous than ocean navigation.

"Found it!"

A second before the lights went out, Arthur finally found what he needed.

Shouting excitedly, the young man hurriedly opened the locker and took out the bulky set of household belongings from it.

The appearance is like the kind of spacesuit that often appears in the photos of astronauts in previous lives, but it is bloated and bulky.

In fact, the spacesuit that Arthur held in his hand was indeed quite an antique thing.

This is the spacesuit used by his ancestors who don't know how many generations ago, in this era, it can already be said to be an antique, and it can definitely be sold for a considerable price in the antique market.

It is precisely for this reason that Arthur, a loser, will secretly take it out and put it in the storage compartment of the lifeboat, as an antique collection, occasionally take it out for viewing, and by the way, you can also brag to others, explaining how extraordinary and bullish his ancestors are...... Something like that.

But it is precisely because of this guy's childish behavior that he has now saved Arthur's life.

"I have to say, it's really 'born to be useful', a guy like this who is useless will be useful this day."

Putting on a spacesuit, the surrounding cold was suddenly isolated.

Arthur took a deep breath and laughed.

A feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe made him extremely happy.

"However, this is only a stopgap measure......

After a moment, calming down, Arthur turned on the night vision device that came with the spacesuit.

Take out the brain-dead ...... from the safe just now Phew, it's a quick pill, Arthur searched around the ground carefully, and finally found his most important thing at the bottom of the seat next to him.

Material collector (special X-1 type).

A glove-like thing, pure black, with a tiny mouth in the palm of its hand.

This thing was supposed to be on his right hand, but I don't know when it fell under the driver's seat.

Arthur didn't understand it, but he didn't care too much, anyway, the thing was still there, and it didn't disappear out of thin air.

Temporarily removing the right hand part of the spacesuit and putting the collector back on his right hand, Arthur looked at the pure black glove-like object and clenched his fist, not feeling the slightest incongruity between the joint movements.

"It's really a product of high technology."

Arthur opened his palm slightly, and pointed the receiving point of his palm at the instant pill on the table.

The next moment, the space in front of the palm was distorted, and countless silver-white circuits appeared on the pure black glove, flickering with light, as if it was a high-tech chip from a previous life.

In less than a second, the vision vanished, along with the instant pills that had been on the table.

That's what the collector does.

One of the greatest scientific and technological inventions of the new era -- space technology.

Since about 70 years ago, in the 12th scientific and technological revolution first set off by the Alliance, space science and technology have stood out and become a high-end technology that human civilization attaches great importance to.

Seventy years have passed.

Although space science and technology are not highly developed, they have entered a new stage.

That's where the 'spatial superposition technology' comes in.

The space equipment that used to only appear in novels and movies and television is now really appearing in reality.

Using a newly discovered rare ore crystal, dimensional crystallization, coupled with a variety of complex and difficult scientific and unscientific processing, the idea of spatial superposition has finally appeared in front of people's eyes.

After that, the further development is the 'resource collector' that Arthur is holding in his hand.

This is one of the professional development directions of spatial superposition technology.

Originally, human resource collection technology has reached a very high level, after the emergence of space superposition technology, through the experimental research of scientist 'Matthes', the two were finally combined to produce the world's first portable resource collector.

So far, the pace of development of human civilization has been announced to be a big step forward again.
