Chapter 46: The Diamond King's Five
On June 3rd, it was three days since summer came to Dawn II. And in just three days, he has grown rapidly from a scumbag D silk high school dog to a commanding Star Wars commander!
Since the end of the war yesterday, summer has officially grown up and matured. He can't live like he used to, he has to take on the responsibility of being the captain of a starship. Be a real man who is responsible, responsible, and ambitious!
So from now on, he's going to be fully immersed in his role as a captain.
The repair work of the whole ship has been continuing, and it will take at least three days to complete it all, but fortunately, it can be completed before the college entrance examination. In the summer, he was going to take the college entrance examination, and he couldn't go to the exam room with him, but he was going to see it.
Summer has always thought so: a person, if he has not taken the college entrance examination or has not served in the military, then his youth is in vain. But now neither of these has anything to do with him.
Military service is definitely not possible no matter what, but it doesn't matter, he has already discussed it with Diao Chan, and when the college entrance examination is over, he will ask Diao Chan to give him intensive training, and he will work hard to grow into an excellent soldier! Besides, he is now the captain of the ship, and although the self-proclaimed general is a bit big, his current position is equivalent to that of a colonel on Earth.
The second is this college entrance examination, although he did not have the opportunity to participate, but he at least had to come to the scene to have a look. Besides, whether he wants to help Wu Ruize cheat is still to be considered by him, and he has to make a decision before the exam whether to help him cheat.
The most important thing to clean up the post-war mess is to conduct a thorough biochemical quarantine of the entire ship to ensure that it is not infected by biochemicals. There were more than 6,000 iron beetles that penetrated through the shield and broke into the interior of the spaceship, which is a huge number for a spaceship with a total length of no more than 200 meters!
At that time, the entire command module and the corridors on both sides were full of insect corpses, and they were basically killed by high-speed impact when they penetrated the shield. If you think about it, the speed obtained by the addition of the hedges is more than 0.2 times the speed of light, which is equivalent to the speed of 60,000 or 70,000 kilometers per second, which is only one and a half seconds around the earth. At such a high speed, everything has to be smashed to pieces! In the same way, the outer shell of the spaceship was also knocked beyond recognition by the Iron Beetle, and many external facilities had been permanently damaged by the high-speed impact of the Iron Beetle, and they had to go to the Celestial Master Headquarters to be replaced.
It takes at least three days to repair and clean the interior of the ship, and there is basically no way to repair the exterior of the ship, so you can only pray that the interstellar journey will be safe for sixty years.
In addition to the more than 6,000 iron beetles that broke into the ship, there were even more that hit the hull of the ship, some were ejected, and some were still stuck to the hull.
The Iron Beetle, as the name suggests, has a hard shell and is used to ram enemies, and it is the most basic and numerous basic unit that makes up the Star Bug Society. His epidermis is distinctive, with only the outer shell of his head being firm, while the back half of his body and tail touch are much softer. It's just for the impact!
After Diao Chan's preliminary test on it, it was found that the hard shell of the iron beetle is composed of a very special substance, which is a pure biological material, and if it is added to the alloy used to build the spaceship for smelting, the obtained material will have a qualitative improvement in hardness, toughness, heat resistance, radiation resistance and other aspects. In other words, in this campaign, it is very likely that the loss of the ship will be repaired by worm corpses. This is undoubtedly good news.
Looking at the piles of insect corpses in the warehouse through monitoring, as well as the insect corpses on the corridor that have not yet had time to be disposed of, I don't know whether to be happy or sad in the summer. It's nice to have so many insect corpses, this space creature is a unique and high-quality material for crafting spaceships. What is worrying is that so many insect corpses have added to the load of the spaceship, more than 6,000 inside the ship, and more than 10,000 attached to the hull of the ship, adding up to six or seven thousand tons. What to do with so many worm corpses that can be used to cast spaceship materials? You can't take them to the other side. It would be great if you could use them on the road.
In addition to the corpses, Summer had discovered a very significant circumstance that he had negligently failed to discover at the end of the war yesterday. That is, in the warehouse where the insect corpses are stored and in the corridor that has not had time to be cleaned up, there are a lot of transparent polyhedral crystalline ores on their bodies and on the ground next to them, I don't know what they are.
This is also something that Diao Chan didn't report to him, maybe because there were too many things to deal with after the war, and Diao Chan didn't have time to report it to him. When he saw these polyhedral crystals in the summer, the first thing he thought was if it could be that thing. If so, that's incredible.
So he asked Diao Chan: "What are those crystals scattered everywhere?" Summer sat in the chair of the chief commander of the command module and asked, pointing to the crystals on the monitor.
"My lord, the sable cicada hasn't had time to test it yet, but it's certain that it's not radioactive."
"Not tested yet? Then don't you hurry up and test it! ”
"Yes, my lord," said Diao Chan after only a few seconds, "the results of the test are in, and its material composition is carbon, which is very hard. ”
"Is it made of carbon? Very high hardness? Summer couldn't help but shout excitedly when she heard this, "Diao Chan, you mean it's a diamond?" Are they all diamonds? ”
"Diamonds? Yes, they are all diamonds! To be precise, they are all natural diamonds of extremely high purity. Diao Chan's voice was calm.
"Haha, diamonds! So many diamonds, I sent it! Summer exclaimed excitedly. looked at the warehouse under surveillance and said, "Who's in the warehouse?" Zhou Tai, you bring a diamond, just the largest one in front of you, and tell me how much it weighs. ”
"Yes, my lord!" Zhou Tai, the male robot, looked at the ground, picked up a diamond with both hands, the size of a basketball, and said: "Lord Qiqi, this is the largest diamond that the last general has seen, with 26 kilograms. ”
"26 kilograms? I'm going, so big? Help me convert it to carats and see how many there are? ”
"Yes, my lord, it weighs 130,000 carats." Zhou Tai answered the data he had measured truthfully, and at the same time walked towards the command cabin with the super large diamond in both hands.
130,000 carats, this number can sound crazy, what African star, ocean star, Indian star in front of this big diamond that can't be compared. And the whole ship is full of raw ore diamonds of this size. If these treasures were to be brought to Earth, they would be rich in the world. "How big can you get when you cut it into a polished diamond?" Summer asked calmly, because he knew very well that this was in the universe, and he was not blessed to receive such a large fortune, so the ecstasy was only for that moment.
"I'm sorry lord, I don't know."
Either way, one thing is for sure, summer is now a veritable diamond king!
