Chapter 21: Go!

Hope has been 10,000 kilometers outside the ruins for a month and a half.

In the past month and a half, the Hope itself was still developing.

In this regard, in fact, the humans on the Hope are still spending their days with their former concept of time, how to describe it? It's a race against time in the city.

With the establishment of the Hope's monetary system and economic system, although there is a good social welfare guarantee, there is no homeless man or beggar, even if he does not do any work, the food is enough every month, and the political axe will be equipped with a house.

But on the other hand, the food is only staple food and a small amount of dried vegetables and dried meat, fresh vegetables can only be eaten in a few days, as for fresh meat may only be eaten once a week, not to mention such luxury goods such as sugar, tea, coffee, cocoa, tobacco, wine, seafood and so on.

And regardless of the fact that as time goes by, after the initial stage of worry and fear, and then the worry and suspicion of the Hope's political axe, until now, after spending a year and a few months in the universe, the social system of the Hope has begun to be gradually established, such as the entertainment industry.

The most basic entertainment industry, such as Internet cafes, karaoke or something, this is the original facility of the Hope, when the Hope was still called Noah II, the Earth Political Axe authorities took into account the long days of interstellar voyages, for the mental health of the crew, etc., so they opened many entertainment facilities, and even three basketball rooms, a football room, many sports venues, and even an AV screening room or something...... It's just that when Hope fled the earth urgently, people were panicked at that time, and no one knew if the next space jump would still be alive, not to mention entertainment facilities, and even housing or anything, these were all in the long past year, and this has gradually developed to the current point.

Until now, seven days a week, five days of work, two days off, Saturday and Sunday, if you continue to work, you can get double wages, and holidays can be paid three to five times depending on the situation, so that as long as there are people who have work, there is a surplus in addition to basic maintenance, luxury goods and the like will be purchased, but more human needs are still spiritual entertainment, so the call for open entertainment facilities is also getting louder and louder.

Later, in the House of Representatives, with 87 percent of the votes in favor, 11 percent of the votes against, and 2 percent of the abstentions, the final result was naturally to open most of the entertainment facilities.

Of course, the main group of people on the Hope are all in their twenties and thirties, and they are basically middle-level and above people in various metropolises on the earth, and they inherit the idea of fast-paced urban life, and even if they live on the Hope now, they are still dominated by this kind of thinking.

In this regard, Yao Yuan's approach is to go with the flow, just as the purchasing power of human currency decreases with the inventory of luxury goods, and every price fluctuates naturally, Yao Yuan is not good at economics, nor is he good at many politics, his ideas have always been like this, leaving what he is not good at to experts, just as he is an expert in military combat, economic experts, political experts are so much, just leave it to them to think.

So far, this decision has begun to show its results, with the ultra-fast urban rhythm unique to human civilization in the 21st century, since the asteroid belt has been replenished with a lot of materials and energy, Hope is now very busy every day, manufacturing, smelting, medical industry, including the standardization of the education industry that is being discussed in the House of Representatives, it can be said that Hope is getting better every day, or busier, who knows?

However, it is precisely because of this high-temporal life that Hope has built an external cabin that covers an area of one-tenth the size of the ecological park within a few months, and when space jumps are needed, or when it is close to a high-gravity star, this external cabin can be separated and stored in Hope, and once it is drifting in the universe, it can be assembled outside the sixth layer.

Of course, in order to deal with this kind of external cabin, the shell of the Hope also needs to be modified to a certain extent, and it must be completely integrated with it, and at the same time share the life support system, circulation system, anti-gravity system and so on in the Hope, which is a big project, not only to transform the Hope itself, but also to transform the bulkhead structure of the cabin when it is plugged in.

Originally, Yao Yuan thought that this series of transformations would take at least half a year, but the rhythm and speed of human civilization in the 21st century really opened his eyes, in just over a month, the transformation of both has entered the end, for the sake of safety, Yao Yuan was afraid that these engineers and technicians would be in a hurry and ignore the quality, but with the inspection of the array of quality inspection teams, the evaluation given is very high quality, and the quality of the hope itself is even more than the evaluation.

In this way, after staying outside the ruins for a month and a half, the first section of the external cabin has been built, and it is still being commissioned, and it can accommodate all kinds of breeding animals within a week at most, and the scale of breeding can be increased immediately.

In this month and a half, in addition to the internal affairs of the Hope, the exploration of the ruins has not stopped, so far, the new shuttle has been in and out of the ruins more than 30 times, a total of more than 80 pieces of metal fragments of various sizes have been obtained, including several kinds of metal surnames, and a total of six alien technological creations, but they are all small props, in addition to such as music boxes, timers, unknown creations, scientists believe that the most valuable creations are a relatively complete set of lighting equipment.

But that's all, basically the shuttle and the Hope have already traveled a large area, and almost all the locations that can be explored on the periphery have wandered all over again, after all, the periphery is full of small fragments, and the creations that can reach the outer ruins must be very rare, and the things that really have a lot of value must go to the inner area of the alien battleship ruins, especially those large pieces of battleship fragments, and even the largest main ship fragments!

“…… As I said before, all the valuable items in the outer ruins have been searched, of course, there must be misses, but no matter how much they are missed, it is unlikely that they will be the most valuable, so we must go inside the ruins! ”

In the combat conference room, Yao Yuan stood on the stage, and behind him was a general figure of the ruins that had been drawn and sketched after more than a month, of course, the universe is 3D three-dimensional, and it is naturally difficult to rely on plane drawings to completely mark out each location, but the map here only roughly points out the location of the valuable place, and the relative position of the edge of the ruins is just that, so it doesn't hurt.

"Tomorrow is the time for our team of twelve people to really set off, and the first target selected is a fragment of a battleship with a length of about 1.7 kilometers, a width of about 600 meters, and a height of more than 200 meters, which is more than 20 kilometers away from the outermost end of the ruins zone, and it is also the closest and smallest battleship fragment to the outer end at present."

When Yao Yuan said this, he looked at the twelve people in the audience with a serious face: "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, twelve people, the basic equipment is a trial type of aerospace combat suit, a high-intensity light source wolf eye, the weapon is a modified cosmic rifle, and each person has a Gauss pistol to try to make a model, in addition, Yang Varo carries explosives for vacuum environment, black iron carries a revoltable machine gun for space, Eagle carries a cosmic anti-equipment sniper rifle, and Xie Xiaoyan carries a multi-functional high-band liaison, the above are personal items. ”

Liu Bai suddenly raised his hand at this time and said, "What about me?" Don't carry a battlefield first aid kit? ”

Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, because it is a cosmic environment, once the space combat suit is broken and penetrated, then it will definitely be ...... Okay, the basics are like that, but in addition to that, each person's space suit will have a small Spitfire thruster mounted on the back of the shoulders and behind the legs, as well as on the waist, and the duration of the propulsion is five minutes, using the visual direction control, on the top of your space helmet, there will be a sensing device, when you stare at it for more than five seconds, it will turn red, and after five seconds of continuous staring, then the Spitfire propulsion device will activate. ”

"In the same way, when the flamethrower is activated, where you look at, then the flamethrower will propel you forward, this is an emergency escape device, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, because once it is used, it cannot be stopped, unless the flamethrower is used up in fuel, the speed that this device can reach is not very high, but once you reach a speed in the universe, this speed will not slow down, and will continue to push you forward."

When Yao Yuan said this, his expression once again changed to the same seriousness as before, and he said very seriously: "Because none of us know what is inside the fragments of the battleship, what makes our unmanned shuttle system out of control, so in case our new shuttle, even after changing to a manpower shuttle, it is still out of control, and when we are greatly threatened and have to give up the new shuttle, this Spitfire propulsion system will be our only hope to return to the Hope!" ”

"When the operation starts tomorrow, the Hope will fully turn on the lights outside the ship facing the ruins, so even if the universe is separated by 10,000 kilometers, we can rely on the naked eye to confirm the location of the Hope, and when it is really time for us to escape, you must remember to keep your eyes on the Hope, and let the Spitfire propulsion system fly towards the Hope, because that is our only way of life and hope!"

"Disband!"

"At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the operation will officially begin! The operation is called ......"

"Leap!"
