Chapter 13: A Meteorite Strikes
After briefly reading the contents of the data box, Xia Long's first thought was to go to New Blue Star to find Tulip, a robot that has long threatened her little girl, on the one hand, she helps her take care of those agricultural products, and on the other hand, because she has the shadow of Dr. Mel's relatives. And his grandfather is not too worried, once Cass is blackmailed, he will definitely be unpopular and lose a lot of support.
Most of the content left in Mel's data box is not something that Xia Long, who has been smuggling agricultural products for a long time, can understand, many of them are the use of electromagnetic technology, the follow-up creation of Life Freedom, and the use and design of various composite metal materials, the use of progenitor particles, and there are very few mentions in terms of weapons, as long as they develop well, it is not a problem to make clones and robots.
And to build a planet artificially, Xia Long didn't think much about it, and Dr. Mel only imagined that it would be too difficult to really implement it, just to see some shadows from the Sputnik fortress, but it was still far from the planet.
Although there is a computer of the Life Freedom, but thinking of the stubbornness of this computer, when Mel gave the order, the sub-ship recklessly converged with the mothership regardless of the consequences, completely ignoring some actual situations, and Xia Long decided to continue to learn like Mel.
After intercepting a New Blue Star message again, after Dr. Mel's death was properly handled by Cass, the residents of the 7 major city-states fell into a lot of mourning, this technological genius has benefited New Blue Star too much, especially the barrier developed after the most deutery, so that the 7 major city-states and Sputnik fortresses have a feeling like Earth, and alleviate a lot of cosmic ray hazards.
Xialong's new base is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and the construction is stable on the large meteorite that has been selected, and the interior is slowly being opened up. The two personnel who were persuaded by Xia Long were all living on the Life Freedom, after all, this is the only ship with a barrier effect at the moment, and it will be comfortable here.
In order to keep these people as loyal as possible, Xia Long took out his grandfather's seeds, which were relatively complete and had begun to be planted on the Life Freedom. Dr. Mel had been prepared for a long time, and the soil from the earth, coupled with the unique barrier effect of his own spaceship, made the things grown completely safe to eat; For robots, free energy replenishment and repair.
Xia Long's policy also requires a lot of resources, and most of the personnel of both warships are robots. The original two large warships began to be dismantled and built into their own factories, as well as various ships suitable for gathering various resources. For this reason, the captains of the two warships at first, Bane and Li Hu, were quite distressed.
After computer analysis with the Life Freedom, Xia Long negotiated with his "captive" a few days later, the top priority now is to reserve energy and materials, the Life Freedom is currently only enough to operate for a few years, and now the construction of the base, even if the energy in the two warships captured alive is added, it will be consumed very quickly.
Xia Long called the meteorite he was in a "farm", after all, he had been in this business before. There are robots, especially the 300 advanced robots represented by the USS Life Freedom mothership, which are very fast to collect resources, and the robots that were "captured" before will drive these spaceships to nearby meteorites or satellites of Star E to collect resources.
The ore mined from the nearby meteorites is rich in its own metals, which is an important building material, and as long as the factory is built, these ores will be slowly refined and made into product metal materials, which can expand the base and create some simple protective armor.
Among these ores, nuclear ores can also be found in small quantities, which is a good thing! The solid and liquid methane and water collected from the two satellites of the E star are currently the key objects, as the main energy source for the current construction of the base, thermal power generation, saving energy while maintaining the temperature of the base, the "farm" meteorite has been on the sunny side for a long time, and it is far away from the star, so it is actually very cold here.
Dr. Mel can build the Mothership Life Freedom on a meteorite in the E Star Halo area, which is quite far away from New Blue Star, so it is naturally not difficult for Xia Long to cross the river by feeling the stones and build a base on the large meteorite of "Farm", not to mention that there are two large warships captured to make materials and resources, and many of the latest scientific and technological techniques, the speed of base construction is very amazing!
A week later, the interior of the "Farm" meteorite has opened up a lot of space, and the collection spacecraft created by splitting the large warship has also begun to be put into use, and it can collect resources from nearby meteorites and E-satellite satellites every day, and more and more every day.
After 10 days, the materials for splitting the large battleships were almost used, but various factories had been built in the interior space of the "Farm" meteorite, and the collected ore could be stably refined into materials that could be used to build the base.
One month later, a considerable amount of methane fuel and liquid water have been stored in the base, and the thermal power plant has also begun to produce electricity.
For strategic reasons, Cass will certainly not let go of the data box easily, and Charon has the arsenal produce hydrogen-powered missiles day and night, after all, this is the only real weapon at the moment.
Although this missile can explode at regular intervals and will not be used by the enemy to study, there is no guarantee that Cass will find a way to deal with it, for example, he has also developed techniques such as electromagnetic storms, which will reduce the lethality a lot. The effect of the electromagnetic storm of the sub-ship on the general small warship is amazing, the size of the mothership is very large, and the preparation is better in this regard, and the electromagnetic storm of the mothership can cause a lot of failures for large warships.
Charon tried to figure out how to upgrade the hydrogen-powered missile from inside the data box, but was unsuccessful. Relying on Dr. Mel is not a panacea, and many times you have to rely on yourself, such as upgrading this missile, such as this rigid computer.
Intercepted a piece of news from New Blue Star again, a private organization announced the effectiveness of their spaceship, there is a certain deformation effect, which can make the auxiliary wing part and the outer layer of the spaceship become one, this effect can improve the impact resistance of the spaceship a lot, even if the auxiliary wing is damaged, it can be temporarily regenerated from the outer layer of the spaceship, which improves a lot of performance.
In the picture, Xia Long sees his old acquaintance, Jeff, who exchanged white radishes for hibernation potions with him on the black market. Jeff is being honored by Cass, and Jeff is so famous that many people know about his contribution to the defense of the Life Freedom subship, which caused the Magic Cube formation of the spacecraft in the field, and the Life Freedom was damaged a lot.
Xia Long determined that the two Jeffs he met were actually one person, it seems that this guy's intelligence is quite outstanding, and the Rubik's Cube formation made him almost collapse the universe, but he was afraid that after the outer layer of the original ship was attacked, a little fragment that fell off was obtained by him, and then he studied a little superficial transformation technique.
Xia Long knew that he was now in the hearts of the residents of New Blue Star, and under Cass's distorted facts and deliberate slander, many people thought that he was a thief, and stole some of the scientific and technological techniques that could have benefited New Blue Star, the speed of the Life Freedom sub-ship, the barrier effect that had been reduced many times and so on.
It's just that none of these techniques were actively stolen by Xia Long, even if he has a data box now, Xia Long doesn't know about these techniques, and there are only a few people who can understand a little, the 4 builders of the sub-ship, No. 1 to No. 4, two clones and two robots, and the creation of the mothership robot represents Keton.
has begun to build a base, and there are more and more things to do, even if it is with ideology, it is rare to have a leisure, Xia Long now needs a secretary, a need for a diplomatic spokesman, and reverses his image a little, otherwise he has been made up by Cashu, and sooner or later something will happen.
40 days after the base was built, Xia Long received a dialogue request from Cass: "Xia Long, let me tell you the news, according to the detection of our 7 major city-states, a meteorite rain that occurs once in a thousand years will descend on New Blue Star in about 1 year, and our Sputnik fortresses and attack ships may not be able to cope with it." According to opinion polls, a considerable number of residents believe that you, who own a lot of high-tech, have the responsibility and obligation to help, what do you think? ”
Xia Long quickly sent out a video dialogue, and said righteously: "I used to be a resident of New Blue Star, and I naturally have an unshirkable responsibility to deal with this meteorite rain, and I will definitely go." By the way, let me tell you the news, the captains of the two battleships you abandoned at the beginning, Bane and Li Hu still remember, out of respect for life, they and the rest of the personnel are all family with me, and we live together on the Life Freedom every day! ”
For Cass to put pressure on himself as soon as he came up for a long time, and he also put out a poll, Xia Long was not polite, and directly started a psychological station. But when the signal came again, Cass didn't seem to be emotionally affected by the change of stance of the crews of the two ships.
Cass: "What is the juncture now, you definitely won't understand the severity of this meteorite rain, our 7 major city-states joint statistics, it is expected that thousands of meteorites of all sizes will hit New Blue Star, New Blue Star really needs your help!" ”
Charon doesn't think so, it's you Cass who wants to take back Dr. Mel's data box, right? After sorting out his thoughts for a long time, Xia Long replied again: "In view of the unpleasant conflict we had before, I have a little request, first, my Life Freedom has no weapons, and the existing ones will definitely not be able to deal with meteorites, so I need you to provide some when the time comes; Second, when the 7 major city-states come to speak, from now until the meteorite rain crisis is lifted, there must be no hostile attitudes and behaviors towards me, and it is best to lift my bounty! If I agree, I'll drive to the New Zealand Blues as fast as I can! ”
This time, Cass's reaction changed a little, and he also thought for a while before giving a reply: "I can ensure some weapons in terms of weapons, but with your current image among the people, I'm afraid that if I cancel the bounty, there will still be many people who will trouble you!" ”
In the end, Xia Long and Keith reached a temporary settlement, at least for a year, until the meteorite rain was lifted, Cass would ensure that the top leaders of the various city-states would not send troops to fight Xia Long's mind, and some self-indulgent personal actions could not be guaranteed.
Xia Long has won a certain amount of time for the development of opportunities, time is now Xia Long is particularly important, with time to develop, in order to have capital and Cass to compete, although Xia Long has a limited understanding of scientific and technological knowledge, but the content in the data box is enough to make the high-level of the major city-states excited, deformable active metal composite materials, the most high-end electromagnetic technology, as well as the use of progenitor particles and so on.
