My Clone Empire - Chapter 676
“No matter where this is, let’s fix the safety of the ecosystem first before considering anything else!” Tang San patted the captain on the shoulder.
The captain nodded hastily and lifted the handrail of his command seat.
I saw that there was a button under the armrests on both sides of the command seat. These two buttons must be pressed simultaneously by two people on the spacecraft with the opening permission to start the mining mode of Andromeda.
On this spacecraft, there are only eight people with this authority, namely the captain and three first officers of Galaxy Heavy Industries and the four main persons in charge of the Titan Group.
After looking at each other, Tang San and the captain both put their hands on the buttons.
As the ground vibrated, the lights in the entire bridge changed to red and yellow alternately flashing.
A holographic projection of Andromeda’s body began to appear in the center of the bridge.
Four cracks began to appear under the Andromeda spacecraft, and the entire spacecraft began to slowly open downward.
At the same time, the power source of the spacecraft and the spherical reactor began to rise above the spacecraft under the lifting of the top cylinder, and the bridge continued to rise as if the spacecraft had been squeezed out, and the structure supporting the bridge was leaving the Andromeda. After the main body spread out to the surroundings, a small hollow sphere appeared at the top of the Andromeda.
At this time, the four partitions of the spacecraft have been firmly protected by the metal separation wall, isolating the ecosystem in these partitions from the vacuum of the universe.
Inside the spacecraft, in addition to the red-emitting reactor core and the laser collectors connected to its surface and a large number of equipment used, there are twelve 20,000 kilometers in diameter, which is longer than the diameter of the Andromeda spacecraft. A doubled mechanical claw.
It is said that the claws are somewhat inappropriate, they are more suitable to be described as tentacles.
These tentacles connected by a large number of mechanical mechanisms are one kilometer thick!
Originally, these tentacles were plated around the core of the spacecraft to act as a protective layer, but after the spacecraft entered the expanded state, these tentacles became the Andromeda grappling hooks used to capture other planets.
“The spacecraft has been deployed! The speed has been reduced to 81% of the speed of light! The estimated time to reach the star ahead is six months!”
“You stay on the bridge, Mate Liu will act as the temporary captain, and the others will follow me!” The captain led several crew members and walked towards the bridge gate.
Tang San followed closely, and they must hurry up to repair Area A before the ecosystem in Area A completely collapsed.
When the group of people got on the high-speed train used for moving in the spacecraft, Tang San and the separatists activated their own powered armor helmets.
The Titan Group’s external contact agreement clearly prohibits any alien exploration member from using strong colony armor! No one is sure whether there are creatures in the new galaxy that can infect this biological armor, so all Titan Group members use Titan Group’s self-produced power armor.
The captain and others on the side were not moved at all. Their artificial shell had already gathered all the functions of the power armor. There was no need to add more armor at all. This could also be regarded as one of the benefits of small size.
When the train moved forward for half an hour, an emergency brake was applied, and a collapsed load-bearing column in front of it destroyed the suspended track in front.
Fortunately, they are not far from the nearest hatch in Area A, and they can be reached within ten minutes on foot.
Along the way, through the corridor blocked by collapsed and distorted walls, Tang San and the others came to a huge metal door that was 500 meters high.
This door originally didn’t exist, but when the spacecraft was unfolded, the closed alloy walls completely separated the various large areas, and the only way to enter each area was through these huge alloy doors.
“Check the equipment! Now we are still in the inner working area of the spacecraft. Once we pass through this door, the outside is the A zone that has been exposed to vacuum!”
“We don’t know if there is a threat in the vacuum of this galaxy, we don’t know if the object we hit has sent surprises in!”
“Behind this door is unknown! We have lost contact with the maintenance team behind the door! All communication lines have been interrupted! Dark space communication is unavailable! Radio signals are blocked by metal walls! We can only wait until the system is repaired. Get news from the maintenance team!”
“Therefore, anything may happen behind this door! All personnel are ready for weapons!” The captain stretched out his hand and waved into the air, and a rifle appeared in his hand.
This kind of energy realization technology once made Tang Shizhe envious, but now it is only standard equipment in the Andromeda spacecraft.
“Open the hatch!” The captain nodded to the crew standing in front of the switch.
Accompanied by the sound of gears turning, the alloy door slammed back, and then began to slide open to the sides.
Suddenly, the air in the hall poured into the door, and a large number of small parts were blown away by the strong wind caused by the rapid air leakage.
“I feel that this area is hopeless.” Tang San slowly walked into the door, wherever his eyes were covered with frost.
With the leakage of air, the temperature in zone A has dropped to minus ten degrees.
At this temperature, at least those tropical creatures have died out, and it is estimated that only a few of the tenacious ones will remain.
However, the oxygen content here is very low, and it is still unknown whether those frigid creatures can survive!
“This is the bridge team, call all the maintenance personnel! How is the situation here?” The captain activated his communicator.
“Report to the captain that the damaged hole has been repaired! We are repairing the life-saving system and will soon be able to replenish oxygen and increase the temperature in Zone A!”
“The 3007 team discovered an asteroid with a diameter of at least 600 meters in the plain below the impact site~www.mtlnovel.com~ Our spacecraft may be the thing that it hit!” The communicator intermittently heard from the maintenance team. Report sound.
Among the 100,000 crew members who remain awake, 80,000 are maintenance personnel and security personnel on board the spacecraft.
The maintenance teams composed of these maintenance personnel have spread all over the ABC three areas where the spacecraft was damaged, and the A area has the most maintenance teams.
Some teams were sent to find the culprit who damaged the Andromeda.
Alright now, the answer is already in front of everyone, and what caused the Andromeda to almost die was an asteroid of 600 meters!
This is because the shield of the Andromeda spacecraft offset most of the impact, and the kinetic energy carried by the asteroid when it hits the spacecraft is already very low, otherwise the asteroid can directly collide and disintegrate the Andromeda!
The impact under high-speed flight is so terrifying.
“Isolate the asteroid! Let’s go over!” The captain was overjoyed. When they got the sample of the asteroid, they might be able to figure out why they suddenly reached the Andromeda River System!
