But Xiaoguang just floated away from the platform he was on,

Then he fell to the ground,

When he was about to hit the ground, he suddenly floated again,

But he didn't float far, and fell to the ground again,

Seeing such a peculiar scene,

Yang Meng couldn't help but say loudly:

"It seems that you are a little uncomfortable to come here from a weightless environment!"

"Do you need my help?"

Hearing Yang Meng's inquiry, Xiaoguang flashed twice and responded:

"Don't worry, let me ease up, because gravity causes the tidal movement of the string theory to change,

I need to make some adjustments! ”

Looking at the small light that kept drifting up and down, Yang Meng nodded:

"That's right! It's still a certain distance from the stars, is your energy obtained enough to support the mining of minerals? ”

Xiao Guang, who was adjusting his state, heard Yang Meng's question, and flickered in response:

"The strings caused by the Calamity are very violent, and even here, I can get enough tidal energy.

That's enough energy to support me to decompose and recycle minerals! ”

Seeing Xiaoguang say this, Yang Meng was relieved,

Before, he was still a little worried that Xiaoguang would be affected by the Marshmallow Star's efficiency.

"That's it! Let's go! ”，

Seeing this situation,

Coming to the barochamber, with the opening of the barometric chamber door,

Yang Meng walked into it,

He glanced back and saw Xiaoguang following closely behind him, and his state was also very stable.

He closed the hatch with his backhand,

began to change out of the cabin suit,

And for Xiaoguang's safety, Yang Mengjian handed over the previously modified helmet to Xiaoguang,

At the beginning, in order to help Xiaoguang decompose and recycle metal blocks in the cosmic environment, he used a space helmet to transform a picture of Xiaoguang's exit.

Now facing the unknown surface world of Marshmallow Star,

This modified space helmet comes in handy.

Compared with the weightless space environment,

Acting on the gravitational Marshmallow Star, some of the original functions still need to be changed.

Therefore, when he was on the spaceship, Yang Meng added some functions to the helmet that could move on the surface and in the thick atmosphere.

If Xiaoguang has no mobile function,

He also had to report the modified space helmet with Xiaoguang in his arms,

No matter how Yang Meng thought about that kind of scene, he felt uncomfortable.

And in the face of the space helmet that Yang Meng handed over to modify for it, Xiaoguang did not refuse,

The previous discomfort with gravity has made Xiaoguang understand,

The change from a weightless environment to a gravity-bearing planet,

This kind of change, so that it can not be guaranteed,

When you enter a new alien environment, will you be violated?

After checking the spacesuit and whether the functions of various equipment are normal,

Yang Meng asked Xiao Yi to open the gas pressure displacement protection program in the air pressure chamber and start the final procedure before leaving the cabin.

Different from the process of exiting the capsule in the vacuum environment of the universe,

From the universe, you only need to drain the air in the cabin to get out.

But on a planet with a thick atmosphere, the process of getting out of the capsule has changed.

The first step, just like exiting the capsule in a cosmic vacuum, will empty the air in the barometric chamber.

Because Yang Meng was wearing a pressure-resistant spacesuit, this emptying process would not have any effect on him.

And the second step,

It is to inject protective gas into the cabin,

so that the air pressure environment in the cabin is similar to the pressure environment outside,

In order to prevent the astronaut from being sucked out or hit by the impact of foreign air pressure when the cabin door is opened, because of the imbalance of air pressure.

The protective gas injected into the cabin cannot be an active gas such as oxygen.

After all, the outside of the cabin is full of flammable and explosive gases such as hydrogen and methane.

It is very dangerous to inject a reactive gas that can be reacted.

And here, the gas that humans choose to use is helium,

Helium, a rare gas, was not originally the best choice.

Although helium as a shielding gas has perfect properties,

In the era before controlled nuclear fusion, helium was not easy to prepare and the cost was prohibitive.

But in the era of controlled nuclear fusion,

One of the furnace ashes produced by hydrogen fusion is helium.

For humans in this era, helium is an extremely cheap gas.

"The protective gas balance is complete!"

"Barometric pressure data is being checked!"

"The data is normal, you can get out of the cabin!"

Hearing Xiao Yi's voice,

Yang Meng came to the outer hatch,

Even in this era, many doors in the aerospace field are still opened manually.

The reason why it is not used to control the automatic valve opening system by electricity or other power means,

That's another bloody lesson.

At this time, Yang Meng had already taken out the key to open the door, a big wrench, and twisted the valve on the hatch.

With a rattle,

A pitch-black crack appeared in the originally closed hatch,

Yang Meng stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the hatch open,

An incomparably dark scene came into his eyes,

When Yang Meng turned on the searchlight on the spacesuit,

The dark light shines into it, forming a pillar of light like the Tyndall effect,

This indicates that there may be a cloud of gas around the spacecraft.

At this time, Yang Meng moved the searchlight slightly, making it point to the ground.

At the end of the light,

He saw a dark red surface,

And this surface also shows that he is still some distance from the ground.

"Xiao Yi opens the hanging ladder!"

"Understood!"

With Xiao Yi's answer, only a sound was heard, the sound of metal smashing to the ground,

Following the sound device outside the spacesuit, it came into his ears,

Hear the sound of the hanging ladder falling to the ground,

Yang Meng found out that

From the moment he opened the hatch, he hadn't heard any sounds from the planet.

Only the sound of the hanging ladder falling to the ground echoed in this terrifyingly silent dark planet.

"The environment here is ......"

Marshmallow Star, the strange surface environment made Yang Meng a little uncomfortable,

But as the so-called has come,

Yang Meng, who finally came to this planet, has no intention of backing down

He turned on the infrared detection device and the sonosonar radar device,

And with the turn on of these devices, the time in front of him finally changed a little,

But before he could see the specific changes,

He noticed Xiaoguang and left the landing capsule before him

Just when he was about to ask Xiaoguang what he planned to do,

Xiaoguang's voice came back through the space helmet,

Hearing what Xiaoguang said, Yang Meng's face showed a strange expression.

"Although our first visit to Alien was not using our technology,

But it also means that our civilization has finally left its own world and come to a new world!

The tracing of 1.5 billion years has finally been completed today! ”

"This is a small float of mine, and a big float of the Rutans!"

Faced with Xiaoguang's statement, Yang Meng couldn't help but ask Xiaoyi:

"Is that really how it translates what it just said?"

"Yes! I have compared its words to some famous sayings in the human world for your understanding! ”

Seeing that Xiao Yi, who is a translator, also said this,

Thinking of what the Rutan civilization had experienced, he could understand why Xiaoguang exhibited such a posture,

"It's a pity that it can only say these things to me"

Looking at the only light source in the darkness, Yang Meng sighed secretly in his heart, and then asked out loud:

In the face of this dark environment, what is the point of making such an emotion?

Your people can't hear it! ”

In the face of Yang Meng's inquiry, Xiaoguang flickered and responded:

"Dark environment!"

"It's not pitch black in the world I've seen!"

Hearing Xiaoguang say this, Yang Meng remembered that Xiaoguang, as an energy body, saw the natural difference of the world, and this difference could not be measured with human eyes.

"And what kind of world does it see?"

Yang Meng was also a little curious,

asked Xiaoguang this question, and Xiaoguang's description of the field of vision, as a human being, he still couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, in addition to relying on their own vision,

You can also see things in the dark through technological means.

When human beings left the solar system and entered the Kuiper Belt, they faced the problem of activity on dark planets.

After all, where the specific solar system is too far away, walking on such a planet from the perspective of human beings, activities will be restricted.

Even if you turn on the searchlight,

Intense light, in a strong light-dark contrast, will lose most of the field of vision.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop the technology to explore the dark planet,

And this kind of technology that does not require eyes, as early as the electric age, human beings have a foundation.

The first is the way bats use infrasound waves to judge their surroundings in dark caves.

But it's a pity that the surface of Marshmallow Star is very empty,

The conditions for the use of this method are not ideal,

The upgraded method is to use electromagnetic waves to detect the surrounding environment.

Judging the surrounding environment by the different wavelengths emitted by different objects,

Compared with the way of sound waves, in the face of an open environment, the way of electromagnetic wave detection is better.

In addition to the electromagnetic wave detection method,

Only the imaging ability of the electromagnetic wave detection method is weaker.

Therefore, it needs to be supplemented by infrared detection methods,

Take advantage of temperature differences in the surrounding environment to form a basic background image.

And using these three methods, the basic technology required by human beings to operate in the dark world has been formed.

With the various equipment on the space helmet turned on,

The world in front of Yang Meng's eyes is finally no longer dark,

He first saw a dark gray world,

In this world is full of all kinds of ripples,

This is a close-up surrounding image presented by the reverberation of infrasound waves,

Then he saw points of light in the distance, and a blurred image composed of lines of light points.

This is a long-range image seen through electromagnetic radar,

And then his eyes turned into a dark blue scene,

Against this dark blue background, there are occasional areas of pale purple, dark purple, or light yellow.

The human brain can't process the sight that the three devices transmit back,

It is impossible to merge the three scenes into one picture,

But Yang Meng has a small light in his body,

With the help of a small light image processing program,

A new world appeared in front of Yang Meng's eyes,

With such a world that is not like the eye, seeing the scene is colorful and colorful,

But you can also judge the surrounding topography,

Even if the searchlight on the spacesuit is turned on, Yang Meng's mobility is not restricted.

A small light on the side,

Seeing Yang Meng looking around at the surrounding environment, he flickered twice and said:

"It seems that you also have a lot of technology to break through the self-limitations of living beings!"

"That's good, we also went in this direction when we were on the inanimate form,

It's a pity that in the end, I went down the wrong path! ”

"Maybe we shouldn't have abandoned the structure of life too soon!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng thought thoughtfully,

What you gain will always lose something,

As a small light body, after gaining almost eternal life,

What else do they have to lose?

Yang Meng didn't know and didn't ask much

Instead, focus your work on the things at hand.

"How can we identify the nearest deposits?"

Looking at the flickering little light, Yang Meng waited for its answer,

Xiaoguang's prospecting technology can be said to be far beyond that of humans.

For humanity entering the interstellar age of the solar system,

In order to immigrate to other planets, there are naturally prospecting methods to obtain resources.

However, compared to the Rutan Star civilization, which was forced out by the extreme shortage of resources,

Human prospecting methods are very backward.

Judging from the string theory that communicated with Xiaoguang before,

Each element in the periodic table has its own uniqueness,

The atomic number, atomic mass, the number of electrons outside the atom, and so on, are the differences in the elements in the periodic table that human beings understand.

But as a deeply developed Rutanxing civilization,

They are more concerned with the other two properties of the elements of atoms, spin and oscillation.

The elements in the periodic table are made up of electrons, neutrons, protons

And all three of these particles have spins.

If you use a large collider to collide with particles, you can find quarks in it.

And in the process of colliding,

The cracked particles, flying in different directions, need to maintain a state of zero spin.

That is, in the split two halves of the particle, one particle has a spin of 1, and the other particle has a spin of -1

This property does not change due to the change of space-time distance,

Such a property is called quantum entanglement.

In the world of small lights,

All kinds of ions washed out of the particles float throughout the universe,

formed a vast ocean of particles,

If you look closely, you can use the nature of particle entanglement to find some useful information.

And whenever Yang Meng thought that the Rutan Star people had such a special technology, he sighed in his heart,

But considering that this civilization has existed for 1.5 billion years,

With such technology, even a little bit of exploration can achieve a big breakthrough in the direction of scientific research theory.

……

In Yang Meng's waiting, Xiaoguang finally responded,

"According to the periodic chart you gave me earlier, there are minerals you need in this direction, do you need me to bring them?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng shook his head lightly and said,

"Not yet, mark this place and see where the other elements are!"

"Okay!"

The light flickered for a moment, then stopped saying nothing and seemed to begin to probe its surroundings.

Before, when Xiaoguang helped him with the Ice Deimos metal block resources,

Yang Meng and Xiaoguang had an in-depth exchange of information about the periodic table of human elements.

Because the heavy element resources of Rutan Star B are very scarce,

The periodic table mastered by the Rutans is incomplete,

Fortunately, one of the great properties of the periodic table is that it can be deduced,

According to the existing elements, the possible traits of the later elements can be deduced.

Early human scientists did just that.

And the Rutans are very in-depth in the quantum field.

Even if it hadn't seen some of the elements in the weekly table of elements,

But after handing over the properties of various elements and their own data to Xiaoguang,

Xiaoguang quickly made up for the shortcomings on his periodic table.

Especially in the complex problem of particle spin and oscillation,

The accuracy of the oscillation parameters calculated by Xiaoguang is even much more precise than that of human research.

In this case,

Yang Meng told Xiaoguang about the few elements he was missing,

Xiao Guang followed the map and began to explore the elements that Yang Meng lacked

Among them, Yang Meng's most lacking element is titanium.

The giant metal blocks mined in the Rutan galaxy before are mostly some heavy elements behind the periodic table.

And the content of metallic elements in the front and middle sections of the periodic table is not very large,

Among them, the titanium metal that is most demanded in the aerospace industry is greatly insufficient.

Titanium alloy is civilized due to the development of the aerospace industry, because it has extremely good properties.

Especially in terms of spacecraft power,

The materials used in the main thrusters of the Apollo landing on the moon,

It is C-103-based niobium-titanium hafnium alloy.

Especially in the protection of spaceships, titanium alloy is a good protective material,

In the state of high-speed flight of the spacecraft, it can resist the impact of functional particles and cosmic dust,

It's also because it is meant to be used as a protective material,

will be washed away by cosmic dust and high-energy particles,

Titanium has also become one of the few materials on the spacecraft that cannot be recycled.

"There's a perovskite here, too!"

Xiaoguang kept reporting his findings to Yang Meng,

Yang Meng is not in a hurry to mine,

He first asked Xiao Yi to record the location marked by Xiao Guang,

And he's going to build a makeshift base on this marshmallow star,

After all, mining requires some tools,

He's going to print out the tools with a printing device.

……

In this era,

It's not complicated for humans to build a base on another planet.

As long as the environment of this planet is not too outrageous,

Like Venus,

An apocalyptic planet with an average surface temperature of 400 degrees Celsius and frequent acid rain.

The characteristics of human life, also to a certain extent,

This makes it more likely that humans will build a base on a cold planet than on a hot planet.

Although the average surface temperature of the marshmallow star is low, it is dozens of degrees below zero,

But in such a windless environment,

The conditions for building the base are even better than those of Mars,

If it weren't for the fact that there was no light here, and the planet was already in a state of imminent escape,

For some time to come, there is the potential to become a temporary outpost for humanity.

Yang Meng used the power car to move all kinds of things out of the landing module,

The energy supply system of the ground base which I prepared on one side,

In such a dark environment,

Solar power generation devices that use the photoelectric effect are no longer usable.

Wind power generation cannot be used in a windless environment.

And the nuclear fusion reactor is very large, and it cannot be brought to this marshmallow star, which is larger than the gravity of the earth.

The power supply system that he can use,

Energy can only be obtained through fission nuclear energy,

This is also thanks to the huge metal block he obtained in the Rutan galaxy at the beginning, there are a lot of radioactive heavy elements,

Although he doesn't need these heavy elements yet,

But when he was going to land on a planet that couldn't see his fingers and was far away from the stars,

These radioactive elements happen to be useful.

……

Yang Meng operated the power car and carefully transported a small device from the landing return capsule.

This device resembles a paper tray for square eggs

It's just that the thing on this checkered paper tray is not an egg.

It's a metal ball,

These metal balls are miniaturized nuclear power batteries.

Although mankind has not yet been able to miniaturize nuclear fusion devices,

But after the realization of controlled nuclear fusion technology,

Mankind has achieved further breakthroughs in the field of particles,

In this case, mankind has the ability to miniaturize fission technology,

As a result, the nuclear power battery was developed.

But in the case of controlled nuclear fusion,

This kind of technology seems to be a bit frivolous.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology fuses hydrogen and produces helium.

Even if the fusion device leaks,

As long as there is no fusion explosion, the leaked material is basically harmless to the environment.

Fission technology is different.

Even if it is possible to make a miniaturized nuclear fission battery,

But not many people dare to use batteries made of radioactive materials,

If such a battery is used in a human communication device,

Although it can make human communication devices, for several years do not need to be recharged,

But in case there is a bump in the communication device, resulting in the leakage of the top carcinogenic radioactive material inside,

The communication device that fell to the ground was no longer frightening, but terrifying.

Moreover, the leakage of nuclear power batteries will also cause serious damage to the natural environment.

So on Earth,

Various forces are strictly prohibited from cracking down on the sale and sale of nuclear batteries.

Although humans on Earth cannot use nuclear batteries,

But for the aerospace field, nuclear batteries are a very convenient energy source

After all, astronauts need to get out of the capsule, or land on the ground to perform a mission.

It is impossible for an astronaut to carry a huge fusion reactor on his back,

And the energy lines connected to the spacecraft will also limit the range of movement of astronauts.

Therefore, nuclear batteries have become a convenient choice.

And in addition to this reason, there is no need to worry about safety factors,

Because in a complex cosmic environment,

Astronauts have always carried a variety of environmental testing instruments.

Once the environment around the astronauts changes,

It can also remind astronauts to react immediately,

If a nuclear battery leaks, astronauts will know it immediately.

In addition, the astronauts are wearing spacesuits that can resist high-energy rays of the universe,

Even if the nuclear battery leaks, the harm to itself is not so obvious.

In addition to these reasons, for astronauts wandering in the universe, it is also simple to dispose of discarded nuclear batteries,

Although there are safety rules,

Discarded nuclear batteries are to be put into special lead boxes,

and then brought back to the base for harmless treatment,

But in case something goes wrong with the nuclear battery, it's too late to return to the spacecraft and put it in a lead box.

The user of the nuclear battery,

Just throw the nuclear power battery in your hand into the vast universe,

Danger naturally moves away from oneself,

And this act of throwing garbage into the universe, although it will create protests from some radical cosmic environmentalists,

But in the face of the infinite universe, who can find out if you secretly throw something?

As a traditional professional astronaut, Yang Meng has a high level of literacy, and he has not thrown any harmful garbage into the universe.

After all, most of the materials on the spaceship can be recycled and reused.

Throwing it away is a wasteful act.

"This is your nuclear power battery!"

I don't know when, Xiaoguang floated to Yang Meng's side, looked at the metal balls that Yang Meng took out, and asked,

Seeing Xiaoguang coming over, Yang Meng nodded and said:

"You're just in time!"

"Swap your battery for this!"

"As long as I switch to this, I can fly, right?"

"Of course!"

Yang Meng looked at Xiaoguang and nodded,

Xiaoguang was still walking on the ground with the tire structure on the space helmet at this time.

But in the era of rapid development of pneumatic technology,

If you can fly in the air, you will never walk on the ground.

And the next process of his search for minerals is to use the state of flight to find them.

In this case, he needs Hikaru to also have some flying ability.

Yang Meng dismantled the power unit under Xiaoguang's helmet,

According to the original design scheme, the pneumatic device is installed for Xiaoguang.

With the insertion of nuclear power batteries,

The pneumatic flying device was also successfully started,

Xiaoguang flew up at once, but looking at the way he swayed from side to side, he was obviously in an unskilled state.

At this time, Xiaoguang's voice also came to Yang Meng's ears through the space helmet.

"It's still very restrictive to fly!"

"If you have such a convenient flying device, why didn't you use it in the first place, but asked me to climb on the ground!"

Hearing such a question,

Seeing that Xiaoguang couldn't skillfully control the modified flight helmet, and crashed in the air,

He glanced back at the landing capsule behind him.

He shook his head slightly, not explaining the problem to Xiaoguang.

……

In Yang Meng's busyness,

He built a small frame next to the landing capsule.

This framework is the 3D printer used to make the equipment of the base.

After debugging the printer,

Yang Meng looked up and looked around, and found that Xiaoguang had gained the ability to fly, and he didn't know where to fly at this time.

Although there is no small light in the field of vision,

But the space helmet used by Xiaoguang has positioning equipment and communication devices.

He glanced at the location of Xiaoguang,

found that Xiaoguang was not far from him,

But because of the thick black fog, even if some detection equipment is used, you can't see the location of the small light.

Seeing that Xiaoguang was nearby, Yang Meng called him,

Soon a circular device, shining with a faint blue light, rushed out of the black mist,

If a stranger sees this scene, he will inevitably be across,

After all, a flying helmet, without any body under the neck, only a cloud of blue substance dragging this thing to fly,

No matter how you look at it, it's a terrible picture,

And such a helmet floated straight towards Yang Meng:

"What's the matter with calling me back?"

Yang Meng glanced up at the little light that came back, and didn't ask what it had just done, but said:

"Help me mine some mines!"

"No problem, what?"

Xiaoguang replied very simply,

At this time, Yang Meng also checked the resource map he had.

The reason why he landed in this place,

In addition to the fact that the topography of this place is very suitable for landing,

Previously, through telemetry signals, it was also discovered that some commonly used minerals were present here, which was conducive to his construction of the base.

The iron element commonly used in human life is very abundant around this.

Especially this layer of iron sand on the ground,

It also has very convenient recycling conditions.

"Help me recover some iron and these elements first!"

Yang Meng handed over a list of supplies to Xiaoguang,

After reading the above content, Xiaoguang responded with a sentence No problem,

He headed for the first mineral point.

With the help of Xiaoguang, Yang Meng hardly needs to worry about resource recycling.

"Silicon chip printing complete!"

"The powertrain print is complete!"

"The drive is printed!"

……

In bursts of voice prompts,

Soon Yang Meng's first equipment was built through a three-dimensional printing device.

Compared to the 3D printer that could only print some model molds in his grandfather's time,

In this era, because of the breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology, mankind has made great progress in the quantum field.

This progress was soon applied to printing technology.

Using the characteristics of quantum tunneling,

Human beings have even realized the technology of rapid stacking and printing of several atoms at the atomic scale.

It's just that there are still a lot of technical limitations.

The cleanliness of the materials is required and is extremely energy and time intensive.

Yang Meng does not have an atomic printer at present, and he does not need this kind of printer.

He only needs a molecular-level printing device to print some chips, devices, and building materials.

And the first printed device,

It's not a special device,

Rather, it's a powered flatbed truck,

Yang Meng prepared the feelings and batteries on this flatbed truck,

As a result, this powered flatbed transporter became a nuclear-powered flatbed transporter.

In the next little time, Yang Meng added a body to the transport vehicle and a bucket controlled by Xiaoguang.

Thus his first device on Marshmallow was built.

At this time, Xiaoguang, who had just finished collecting resources, suddenly burst out of the black fog, and swayed out of the black fog.

Then I heard a muffled sound, and it seemed as if something very heavy had fallen to the ground.

Yang Meng looked back,

I saw a small round metal ball, knocked into the marshmallow star,

Looking at the landing point of the metal ball,

I saw a bag-like device hanging from under a space helmet.

"You've finally built a cart to transport minerals!"

Xiaoguang, who had just come back, saw the flatbed truck on the ground at a glance,

The little light floated around the car and turned around twice,

Then he threw the bag under the helmet aside,

Seeing Xiaoguang's movements, Yang Meng just glanced at the bag on the ground, and then continued to let Xiaoguang control a power car and bring him the metal block that Xiaoguang had just collected.

"Xiaoguang, do you need to rest?"

Hearing Yang Meng's question, Xiaoguang flashed twice and responded:

"Not yet, what's the matter with me breaking down this piece of metal into a powder state?"

"Yes!"

Hearing Yang Meng's answer, Xiaoguang flew over,

landed on the metal ball that the power car retrieved just now,

Soon the metal became a powder

Seeing Xiaoguang's flowing movements, Yang Meng sighed in his heart:

"If it weren't for Xiaoguang's history of consciousness invasion,.

It's such a existence, it's really a useful working partner! ”

The small light of the metal that had just been decomposed seemed to feel Yang Meng's gaze,

Suddenly, he said:

"If not, I want to get out of the Scourge Star's area of influence as soon as possible, and I won't do my best to help you!"

Seeing Xiaoguang say this, Yang Meng didn't know what to think of and shook his head with a smile,

At this time, Xiaoguang flew to the top of the "cloth bag" it dropped before:

"I don't need this thing this time!"

"It's very inconvenient for me to transport minerals with this thing?"

Yang Meng glanced at the alloy silk woven cloth bag on the ground, shook his head and said that this cloth bag is not needed this time.

"That's good!"

Through the monitoring device inside the space helmet, he found that Xiaoguang heard that he didn't need to carry this bag.

The flickering frequencies on its body show a pleasant mood.

It is also a last resort to let Xiaoguang take such a bag to collect resources.

The material decomposition and recycling efficiency of small light is very high.

The power vehicle he brought out from the landing return capsule did not have a large load capacity.

Therefore, it can only be used to transport resources to Xiaoguang.

In the process of continuous transportation, although the power of its transportation is from the aerodynamic power module of the space helmet,

It doesn't need to use the energy of the light itself,

But Xiaoguang was still unhappy with Yang Meng's behavior of using him as a transportation device.

"Maybe it's because it's transported too often, and I'm tired of this kind of high-intensity work!"

Because the load of the power plant of the space helmet is not large,

Need a little light to keep flying around,

It is precisely because of the lack of suitable material transport,

The first piece of equipment that Yang Meng built was this nuclear-powered flatbed transport device.

As long as the materials are sufficient, he can quickly complete the establishment of the base.

After the construction of the base is completed,

He can also build a launcher to send the collected resources into space, and when his ship returns,

On transport to the spacecraft,

This is Yang Meng's preliminary resource collection plan on the Marshmallow Star,

And at this time, the little light floated to the flatbed,

Asked Yang Meng:

"How about the power of this device, I don't need to come and transport it frequently, right?"

"Don't worry, although it is electric, the capacity is strong enough!"

Yang Meng's answer is not an exaggeration,

Back in his grandfather's time,

Pure electric new energy electric vehicles have become popular.

But there were many drawbacks to electric cars at that time,

In particular, the problem of charging for a long time makes many people dislike electric vehicles.

Some of the people at that time,

Or do you prefer to fill the car with a liquid in two minutes?

This liquid allows a car to travel a distance of hundreds of kilometers,

Compared to looking for charging piles,

It is more convenient to fill up a car with a certain liquid in two minutes and run hundreds of kilometers.

In that era, there were still some debates about the use of traditional fuel vehicles and new energy electric vehicles.

And such a debate after the technological breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion,

And there is no room for any argument,

In the face of an endless and extremely cheap supply of electricity,

Fuel vehicles have also lost their edge.

When mankind enters the era of pure electric vehicles, the various drawbacks of electric vehicles,

Driven by interests, it is also constantly improved.

After hundreds of years of technological iteration,

At this time, the electromagnetic power technology has far surpassed the fuel machinery that has entered the dust of history.

The power flatbed truck in front of him is an important equipment for transporting large goods.

"As for the shipping you're worried about, there's an automated smart program that does it, and you just need to mine!" ’

Hearing Yang Meng say this, Xiaoguang flickered and responded:

"That's good, it can reduce a lot of time, and we can get out of the range of the disaster star quickly!"

Seeing Xiaoguang talking about the calamity, Yang Meng couldn't help but ask:

"You said before that you will be disturbed near the Calamity and your own condition will be affected, how are you now?"

"Don't worry, I'm much less disturbed here, and after this period of adjustment,

The disturbance of the calamity star has not affected me very much anymore! ”

"Is that so?"

Yang Meng looked at the small light that gradually disappeared into the black mist,

Pondering something,

I don't know if it's his delusion,

He always felt that this little light was a little different from the little light before he hibernated.

But what the difference is, he can't say.

"Wait! This little light ......"

Yang Meng suddenly thought of something, and a thought popped up in his heart,

"This little light seems to be more human!"

"That's right! It's the human taste, and the emotions on it seem to be even more commanding! ”

Thinking of this, Yang Meng was a little vigilant in his heart:

"Could it be that in the process of low-temperature hibernation, Xiaoguang invaded my consciousness again, and it would reveal such a state!"

"This possibility should not be large, and other consciousness will be excluded in the process of consciousness protection upgrade.

In cryogenic hibernation, except for the brain stem, which controls bodily functions, all other brain activities will stop.

In this case there is no object of invasion at all! ”

"And at that time, Xiaoguang was also dormant, how could it invade consciousness?"

"Or is this a legacy of the previous intrusion into consciousness?"

For Xiaoguang's state, Yang Meng was a little strange,

Consciousness invasion is not without any effect,

While reading the memories of others, they will also be affected by the consciousness of others.

Therefore, in this era of consciousness network, in order to avoid the mixing of consciousness,

Human communication in the network of consciousness needs to rely on a certain virtual medium in order to avoid such effects.

He also didn't know how Xiaoguang's consciousness invaded before,

If Xiaoguang's consciousness is directly connected to his consciousness, it is very likely that his consciousness will be naturally penetrated.

"With the development process of the Rutanxing civilization, even if it is directly connected to consciousness, it should be able to avoid the situation of mixed consciousness!"

"However, if you add the influence of the calamity......"

Thinking of this, in order to determine something, he asked Xiao Yi to create a new comparison data set in the database,

He still has a long way to go to return to Earth, and Yang Meng has time to slowly observe Xiaoguang.

……

Soon the first minerals were transported back by nuclear-powered flatbed trucks,

Yang Meng used these materials to print out a variety of necessary equipment,

The pace of base construction has also begun to accelerate,

Yang Meng also understands very well that if he doesn't have Xiaoguang's terrifying material decomposition ability,

The construction of the base alone will take a long time.

However, only three days have passed,

Yang Meng's construction speed slowed down,

……

"The surrounding superficial minerals have basically been collected!"

"These resources should be enough, right?"

Looking at the minerals piled up on the side, I heard Xiaoguang's inquiry,

Yang Meng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Not enough!"

"Not enough? During this time, there are at least thousands of tons of resources collected!

Or is there some rare element in it that has not been collected! ”

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng thought about it and explained:

"Actually, the spaceship itself doesn't need many metal elements.

The weight of the entire spacecraft is only tens of thousands of tons.

Marshmallow Star has never been mined,

As a planet that exists in metal-rich galaxies and has experienced star explosions,

There are a large number of minerals on its surface, and it is true that only a few thousand tons of resources need to be collected, which is enough for the ship."

"So ......"

What else does Xiaoguang want to say,

saw Yang Meng stretch out his hand to interrupt Xiaoguang's speech, and continued:

"As a planet larger than Earth,

It's really easy to scavenge thousands of tons of resources on it.

But sending these resources into space is not an easy task

For a planet with a slightly larger gravity than the Earth and a thick atmosphere,

It takes a lot of resources to send the metal material needed for the spacecraft to see in space.

And I've worked so hard to build a base, planning to collect far more minerals than the ship needs,

It also has only one purpose, and that is to establish a launch base.

Send the collected metal elements into space. ”

"But I remember that on our planet, it took you a short time to disassemble and reassemble your spaceship and return to space......

Seeing that Xiaoguang mentioned it, the process of leaving Rutan Star B at the beginning,

Yang Meng shook his head helplessly and said:

"At that time, there was the urging of the red mist, and there was no need to export the convenience of collecting resources, just dismantling the spaceship.

And the propulsion system on the ship can be reused,

It is precisely because of these convenient conditions,

in order to return to the universe in a very short time! ”

"I see!" After listening to Yang Meng's explanation, Xiaoguang flickered slightly, and his body showed regret.

"Looks like we're going to need to spend some more time in the Scourge Star's area of influence!"

"So what's next for you?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's inquiry, Yang Meng thought for a moment,

Faced with the situation that minerals are collected near the shallow ground,

Now there are two paths before him,

One is digging deeper,

The structure of the marshmallow star is similar to that of the Earth, with a rocky surface,

There are more minerals in the ground than on the surface.

The only trouble is that the underground mining is more difficult.

And in addition to digging into the ground,

Another way is to expand the search area, but collect superficial minerals further away.

This method will rapidly reduce the efficiency of collecting resources as the scope of collection expands.

Yang Meng thought for a moment and gave an order to Xiao Yi in his body:

"Pull up the stratigraphic data of Marshmallow Star!"

"Understand that telemetry is being retrieved!"

"Retrieved Completed!"

With Xiao Yi's voice, a data analysis chart appeared in front of Yang Meng's eyes,

After Yang Meng landed on Earth,

The orbital module located in space also keeps orbiting the marshmallow star,

The various detection devices above have also been working,

After several days of continuous probing, it is basically confirmed

Stratigraphic types within 10 km of Marshmallow Star,

Ten kilometers later, the strata are almost undetectable for the entire planet.

This is also because Marshmallow Star is obscured by heavy clouds,

Otherwise, the depth that can be detected is greater,

However, even a distance of ten kilometers is enough for Yang Meng.

However, when Yang Meng saw the detection data transmitted back by the satellite, his brows furrowed unnaturally,

"How could it be an ice structure!"

Seeing this structure, Yang Meng had a bad premonition in his heart.

Although he had long expected this situation,

But the fact that there is an ice cap under the stratum of Marshmallow Star still disappoints him a little,

"I originally thought that the surface of this planet was not so cold,

There will be no ice cap underground, but I didn't expect this to happen! ”

Faced with this familiar situation, Yang Meng quickly restrained his emotions,

He knew very well that this was normal.

On those solid planets far from the stars,

Most of them have some thick ice that is inaccessible to outsiders, and the inside is a solid core

It's strange if there is no ice covering these planets far from the stars.

A planet like Europa, with all kinds of exposed minerals, is a very special planet.

"But it is also strange to say that there is a layer of rock mineral debris with an average thickness of 5 kilometers on the surface of Marshmallow.

It's a special kind of structure! ”

It's not uncommon for the ice on the cold planet to be covered with other material.

Like the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede has a thin layer of dust on its ice.

makes Europa not like Europa with white ice and snow surfaces,

In addition to the moons, those comets that wander in the solar system,

Its structure is mainly composed of ice,

But because of wandering in the dust area of the outer solar system for a long time, it will also become disgraced.

I can't see the ice and snow that existed in the first place.

Only when the comet wanders into the inner solar system

Under the scorching sun, a white comet tail will appear.

But in either case, the dust layer on it is not too thick.

But the average thickness of the dust layer on Marshmallow is more than 5 km,

Such a thickness can no longer be described as a layer of dust,

More like a soil layer.

"Being able to accumulate such a thick layer of dust, it seems that Marshmallow Star has experienced a lot of things when it left the inner galaxy!"

"Maybe after the outbreak of the predecessor of Nanhe 3B, a lot of matter fell on the marshmallow star"

"And when you left the internal galaxy structure of Nanhe San, you may have encountered something!"

That kind of scene is not difficult for Yang Meng.

Originally orderly moving star systems,

Because of the death of the stars, the orbits of the planets will become chaotic,

Maybe there will be some collision in it.

And Marshmallow Star is the planet that survived that chaos,

And on the way out of the Nanhe Sannei system, he absorbed a lot of material from other planets.

"Anyway, the existence of the dust layer makes it possible to collect minerals!"

After thinking for a while, Yang Meng continued to work with Xiaoguang on the Marshmallow Star,

For mining tasks,

He's going to do it in two ways,

Faced with the minerals hidden in the dust layer, he uses blasting to collect resources underground.

And in the face of all kinds of mineral deposits scattered on the surface,

He plans to send unmanned equipment to collect it.

"So that's what you planned!"

Hearing Yang Meng's plan, Xiaoguang flickered and asked:

"So what do I do next?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's inquiry, Yang Meng stretched out his hand and pointed to the metal blocks piled up into a hill on the side:

"Break down the metal!"

"Understood!"

……

A few more days passed,

Yang Meng's launch base gradually took shape,

A huge launch tower stands in the middle of the launch base.

Looking at this tower, Yang Meng breathed a sigh of relief,

"The first goal on Marshmallow is accomplished!"

"I'll leave the matter of Xiao Yi's minus to you!"

"Understood!"

After examining the various data of this base,

Yang Meng came to the landing return capsule,

A pair of devices was taken out of it,

Wear it on your body, and then through the locator on the space helmet, you find Xiaoguang:

"I'm going to get out of here and head to the next resource point!"

With Yang Meng's voice, Xiao Guang on the opposite side quickly responded:

"Understood! I'll be back! ”

It didn't take long for Xiaoguang to break through the black fog and come to Yang Meng.

When it saw Yang Meng, it took the lead in speaking before Yang Meng could say anything:

"I have a bad feeling that we have to leave the Calamity as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, when the second launch base is completed, we will be able to leave this planet!"

"That's it!"

Looking at Xiaoguang in the helmet, Yang Meng couldn't help but recall that in the past few days, Xiaoguang's behavior was a little abnormal.

Every time Xiaoguang saw him, he would urge him to leave the Nanhe three-star system as soon as possible.

At the beginning, Yang Meng also asked Xiaoguang for the reason,

And Xiaoguang's answer was very strange, saying that it was his own premonition,

If that's the answer,

How could Yang Meng believe it,

But Xiaoguang said this every day, which made him feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

After all, Nanhe Sana has also entered the end of the life of stars,

In this case the activity of this star is very unstable,

Even if he is more than 1,800 astronomical units away from that star here,

However, it can still be affected by stellar activity:

"Could it be that Xiaoguang sensed something?"
