The spacecraft of the Raven series are specially used for transporting materials between the Earth-Moon system, transporting high-end industrial materials and intelligent robots from the Earth to the Moon and Lagrange points, and transporting helium-3, rare earths and various preliminarily processed rare minerals from the Moon to the Earth. And the Lagrange point is completely an export window, because of the threat of the unknown fleet, this situation will continue for a long time.

Yang Weili and his Raven 005 spacecraft have nearly 70 percent of the 300-meter-long space used to load supplies, and if there are few passengers, it will also compress the space in the passenger compartment to make more storage space in the cargo compartment.

"This black-hearted spaceship will be eliminated in less than twenty years!" Boehner said indignantly with someone on the side: "Just now I went to apply for permission to look at the external armor of this ship, who knew that the main engine of the spaceship actually told me that it would be dismantled after the implementation!"

That means we're flying through space on a streaking spaceship! ”

At the beginning of the 21st century, manned spacecraft had no external armor at all, and today's spacecraft have no accidents navigating space with high-strength materials alone. I even think that judging from the data collected by the first-generation Raven spacecraft, the second-generation Raven spacecraft of the Design Institute will further reduce the protection means to increase the transportation capacity.

It's just that Yang Weili was too lazy to take Libona, and sat in his place and called up the spacecraft's exterior camera.

At this time, the spacecraft has come to slow down and entered the orbit of the Lagrange point space city, and the technological miracle of building the city overnight in the past has now become even larger, of course, the main materials no longer need to overcome the gravity of the blue star, and it is laborious to output from the blue star.

Scientists have found that the far side of the moon is rich in oxygen-rich minerals and water brought by meteorites, and now the infrastructure of the lunar industrial base has been completed, with a resident population of 130,000 people, and it is the most important intelligent automated industrial base for mankind and the largest spacecraft construction dock.

The Moon's gravitational pull is only one-sixth that of Earth's, and a transport spacecraft uses less energy to escape gravity than it would on a blue star.

A large amount of material exported from the moon would be used to build the framework of the spaceship, and some high-end devices could only be found in the research institute of Blue Star, and now they arrived at Lagrange Space City with the Raven spacecraft to complete the final assembly.

In front of you, this huge double-ring structure is constantly rotating, and the inner and outer double rings are constantly rotating to provide a centripetal force that simulates the gravity environment inside.

After Yang Weili felt his weight sensing again, he understood that the Raven 005 spacecraft had reached the final stage of landing, and at the same time, several hours of sleep also made his stomach feel hungry, and he was ready to eat another good meal after arriving in Space City.

Footage from the exterior camera - hundreds of 21st century-like sweepers levitated from the moon and evenly attached to the ship's hull, and then formed a connection with each other to paint the Raven spacecraft with a blue electromagnetic shield, and then the spacecraft smoothly entered the electromagnetic speed bump of the outer ring.

The Raven Ship, which had completed its deceleration, was drawn into a large steel box in front of the Outer Ring Electromagnetic Orbit in the electromagnetic field. There was a slight jolt as the holder in the box was attaching to the ship. After the fixation was completed, the steel box slowly descended, and in the blink of an eye, only a flat apron and eight straight electromagnetic tracks were left on the surface of the outer ring, silently flashing with frequencies of green light.

[The Raven 005 spacecraft has docked at the No. 1 dock in Space City, and this journey has ended. Please bring your own belongings, and the cargo in the cargo hold will be delivered to the passenger's designated warehouse after completing the quarantine within 24 hours. 】

Because of the simulated gravity, and because they were trained in the space elevator before, this time the officers quickly left the spacecraft after sorting out their instruments and lined up outside for quarantine.

[Mr. Yang Weili, a citizen of China, the quarantine is completed and allowed to pass! ] 】

[Friendly reminder, your current blood sugar is low.] It is advisable to eat and drink as soon as possible to replenish energy. 】

As soon as Yang Weili came out of the rapid quarantine booth, a female robot with a head and torso that looked no different from the appearance of a human handed him a glass of transparent liquid. The only difference between this animorph and a human is the clearly visible metal structure and blood vessel-like data lines on the neck.

Looks like a game-like person.

[This is glucose water at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.] Please use it slowly. 】

"Thank you."

Yang Weili's low thank you was exchanged for a sweet smile from the female person, and after bowing to him slightly, he returned to the reception table to standby.

"Are the current smart programs so powerful?" Then Yang Weili walked out of the quarantine booth Bona sighed: "I heard that artificial wombs have been popularized in qualified hospitals, maybe the children in the future will rely on robots to give birth!" ”

"Then you can have as many eggs as you want with the robot when you find enough eggs in the future!"

"That's not going to work! My parents are both traditional Texans, do you know the red neck of the United States? If I let the robot give birth to me, I'm afraid I won't even be allowed to go in the worship in my hometown! ”

"Hey, hey, but I'm telling you secretly, Building 6 of 169th Street in the Space City Industrial Base is a good place! There is no difference between the imaginary and the real person inside. No, no, no! It's more beautiful than a real person! We have two hours to recuperate, or ........"

Yang Weili shook his head and quickened his pace away from this guy with a sperm brain.

After all the officers had assembled in the dock hall, the commander gave him two hours to recuperate. After that, they regrouped at the dock and began a three-year military exercise.

Turning down Boena's invitation to go to the 'good place' with him again, Yang Weili came to the living quarters from the dock module in an autonomous one-person hovercar.

The industrial base of Space City is built in the inner ring, about 400 square kilometers, and it is still expanding. The industrial base is divided into large modules such as industrial modules, dock modules and living quarters modules. Each large module will be separated by strict protection measures to prevent the collapse of one large module from affecting other modules in the event of a major crisis, and each large module will be subdivided into small modules to facilitate security control.

The living quarters are the most comfortable of all the large modules, and the early collective dormitories were transformed into this area with the continuous expansion of the industrial base. The high ceilings in the living quarters show the blue sky of the earth, and the neat streets are not only filled with real people running shops, but even real grass and green trees, but these precious plants are hung with bright red warnings against touching and trampling.

Yang Weili skillfully walked through the neat commercial street, and found a frequented noodle shop in an alley: "Boss, three taels of slightly spicy snail noodles come on!" ”

The boss who knew each other had watched the live broadcast on Blue Star early, and joked to Yang Weili: "Yo, isn't this our human hero - Major Yang?" Want to take advantage of the last bit of time before you leave to taste the taste of home? ”

Unlike industrial areas, where most of the labor is replaced by humanoids and robots, most of the shops in the living quarters are run by natural owners. This is more intimate than many metropolises on the Blue Star that are completely entrusted to the labor service of the people. However, most of the 130,000 people are working in the cutting-edge research institutes in the industrial area, because the spacecraft is close to launch, and only a few stranded passengers make the shopping street look a little deserted.

"Isn't that right? I'm going to be hungry for this flour for the rest of my life! ”

"Okay, give our big hero a special full of snail noodles, don't forget to take care of my little shop in the future!"

Smelling the unique taste of freshly made snail noodles made Yang Weili can't help but move his index fingers, but he said in surprise as soon as he moved: "Huh......... There are sour bamboo shoots? ”

Sour bamboo shoots are fermented foods that are judged to be spoiled at the time of security checks, and are not allowed to enter according to the regulations of the industrial base.

"Shhhhhh This is the real thing that an old friend got from the laboratory. If it weren't for the fact that your regular customers were about to leave for so long, I wouldn't be willing to take it out! ”

"Thank you, boss!" Yang Weili hurriedly took a bite and sighed with satisfaction: "Sure enough, snail noodles need to be sour bamboo shoots to have a soul!" ”

After the boss served Yang Weili food, he didn't disturb him to enjoy the food. A man sits at a cooking table and watches the news in a holographic projection.

[According to the Industry News, the total output value of D31 steel in the first industrial zone last year was 2.35 million tons, and the total output value of titanium and carbon fiber was 3.69 million tons..........]

The boss muttered in a low voice: "What are these guys doing, the output has not been able to be raised for three consecutive years!" Do you want me to put this old bone back on the line? ”

............

The time to enjoy the food always passes quickly, and a large bowl of noodles was all solved by Yang Weili in a blink of an eye, and there was no soup left.

"Full?"

"Hmm."

"Then come on, great heroes of mankind! In the future, it's up to you boys to continue to develop the solar system! ”

"Boss, look at you, you're trying to kill us! You people are the cornerstone of the space industry base, and if you hadn't built the city overnight, our so-called space forces wouldn't even have a base1"

"It's a thing of the past! The future is still yours! ”

After blowing a wave with the boss business who came to set up a stall in his spare time as a senior engineer and made a taste of his hometown, Yang Weili left the store. After walking around the shopping street and visiting a few familiar store managers, most of the two-hour break time has passed.

He stood in front of the small module in the commercial area and looked back at the store managers, all of whom had contributed almost all of their energy to the space base for ten years. When it was time to retire, he was reluctant to give up, for fear that the young engineers would make a mistake and wait here at any time to be ready to go to the front line again.

They are the heroes of mankind, the heroes of mankind who can steadily take the first step to explore the universe! Yang Weili silently gave a military salute and stood for a long time before getting on the unmanned hovering car heading to the dock area.

"All of them!"

After waiting for all the officers to finish counting, the Chinese-faced commander began to speak: "I am Major General Liu, the commander-in-chief of this military exercise, and I believe that there are no officers in the audience who do not know me, right?" Because you don't know me, you should be in the gendarmerie now! ”

The queue erupted in laughter, but soon calmed down again.

"Since you are already standing here, it means that you have understood what threat humanity is going to face, so ........."

"No matter what color of people, no matter what country they come from, for what purpose, when the mission comes, I only hope that everyone can fulfill their responsibilities!"

"For the Blue Star!"

"For humanity!"

General Liu put his right hand into a fist on his left, which was the closest to his heart, which was also one of the military salutes of the Space Force.

"For the Blue Star!"

"For humanity!"

The officers below solemnly followed along, and everyone in the assembled hall seemed to have made a sacred oath.

After that, the process is simpler, after all, everyone has repeated the training countless times in the past training time.

The officers in the audience were divided into three teams under the leadership of the captain, and everyone walked to the designated dock in an orderly manner, where the newly completed space battleship was waiting for them.

In the team to dock No. 8, Yang Weili lined up after the second officer, and as the fourth officer to enter the Penglai, he did not have any curiosity about the interior of the simple and modern style of the battleship. As early as eight months ago, the details of the battleship had been figured out in virtual reality, and all the officers were waiting for orders from their posts.

In the 50-square-meter command room, there is a large pane of glass, under which sit the communicator, radar technician and helmsman.

The captain sat in the command chair and gave the first command: "Connect the dock viewfinder." ”

"Captain's Order: Connect the dock viewfinder."

【System Confirmation Command】

【Execution Completed】

More than 20 pictures began to be conspicuous on the large glass in the command room, and Yang Weili, who was waiting for the captain's order with the first and second officers, saw that the captain had chosen the field of vision on the electromagnetic track in the picture.

I saw a steel box slowly rising from the outer ring of Lagrange Space City, this box was more than ten times larger than the box containing the raven spaceship, and the behemoth loaded inside was revealing its hideousness little by little.

First, a graceful streamlined bow was displayed in everyone's eyes, and then as the fixed pincers of the steel box slowly moved it to the electromagnetic track, the middle and thick rectangular tail of the battleship were slowly revealed, and the whole battleship looked like a large flat triangle.

It's just that this triangular battleship is 3 kilometers long from bow to stern, 2 kilometers at its widest tail and 1 kilometer thick. Equipped with three massive fusion engines, the Ponlai can sail for more than a hundred years when fully refueled, and the built-in ecological laboratory can collect meteorites from the solar system, decompose them and synthesize them into water and artificial food for human needs.

With a top speed of 50% of the speed of light, the spacecraft is theoretically up to the standard for interstellar travel, and given enough time, it can even reach Proxima Centauri.

But this huge battleship only needs 100 people to exert its strongest combat power with artificial intelligence automated weapons, which are not only paired with conventional beam weapons and kinetic weapons, but also strategic gravity bombs. Due to the difficulty of storing antimatter bombs, humans can only keep them in the laboratory as toys.

But it can be said that this spaceship alone can erase all the achievements of civilization established by humans on the Blue Star.

However, the quantum computer on board the ship will lock all weapon systems in the Earth-Moon system, and can only be opened unless authorized by Base Zero or the Supreme Decision-Making Body.

Now, like a robot vacuum, a hovering disc floats out of the electromagnetic orbit and is regularly attached to the triangular battleship marked '021, Penglai'. After a few moments, a blue electromagnetic shield enveloped the entire battleship.

All the officers on the Penglai watched with bated breath at this moment, as the outer ring of the space city continued to rotate at the same time.

The fixed clamps protruding from the steel box slowly loosened the restraints, and the engine of the Penglai, which had already ignited and waited for this moment, spewed out a dreamy blue flame. With the help of the electromagnetic orbit, it began to accelerate, and in the blink of an eye, the spacecraft that had already gone to the distance of the camera spewed even more amazing flames.

In other lenses, it's like being thrown out of a ring.

The Penglai will be followed by two spaceships of the same type, which will take humanity to explore the Oort Nebula beyond the solar system.

From now on, Blue Star is only a corner of the vast territory of mankind.

Fly! Fly out of the Earth-Moon system.

Fly! Fly out of the solar system.
