My Clone Empire - Chapter 680
“The spacecraft is entering the third planetary orbit of the Abeta III planetary system!”
“The gravitational control system has started, and it is canceling the gravity of Andromeda!”
“All staff are in place, and the resource star capture operation is ready to begin!”
As the broadcast spread throughout the spacecraft, all crew members rushed to their posts.
Fifteen days ago, the Andromeda had reached the Abe Tower III planetary system.
After five days of fine scanning, Tang Shizhe finally determined that the third planet in this planetary system would be captured by Andromeda and used as raw material for the construction of space stations and spacecraft.
This planet containing various precious metals contains almost all the metals needed for spacecraft construction.
Not only that, it is only one-eighth the volume of the earth and is also very suitable for being dragged into a star mining cavity for decomposition mining.
Since Tang Shizhe awakened all the sleeping crew three months ago, the entire spacecraft has entered a state of emergency combat readiness.
All the awakened crew members were put into their positions for the first time, and began to fully restore the production modules of the spacecraft.
After determining the target, Andromeda changed its orbit in ten days until it maintained the same speed and orbit as the target resource star.
When the red warning light inside the spacecraft lights up, the Andromeda will transfer the spacecraft’s weapon system and propulsion system energy to the gravity control module.
Through the gravity control module, Andromeda’s own gravity will be close to the gravity generated by a battleship, and will not have any huge impact on the orbit of the target planet.
This is only the first step.
After the spacecraft traveled to the back of the planet’s rotation direction, the spacecraft aimed the “blooming” “stamens” at the planet.
The 20,000-kilometer-long robotic arm protruded from the Andromeda and directly attached to the surface of the resource star ahead.
When these one-kilometer-thick robotic arms fell, the resource star was like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The surface of the planet began to crack in the impact of the falling of the robotic arm, just like a broken eggshell!
The violent shaking made the volcanoes in the planet extremely active, and a large amount of magma spewed out from the cracks in the crater and the ground.
The raging magma looked hot but did not cause any damage to the robotic arm pressing on the ground.
“The structural integrity of the target resource star is 97.3%! Start to inhale!”
When the magma on the surface of the resource star began to cool down, the gravitational force offsetting position toward the planet suddenly closed, and the gravitational force comparable to half of the blue star instantly caused the captured resource star to recede by a large amount. step.
As the Andromeda thrusters shut down, the planet began to be pulled by gravity and flew towards the Andromeda.
At this time, the role of the robotic arm is revealed. The robotic arm that grasps the planet controls the orbit and speed of the planet and prevents it from hitting the Andromeda at an excessively high speed.
With the joint efforts of gravity and robotic arms, the planet was swallowed into the abdomen by the Andromeda like an egg stuffed into its mouth.
The protruding part is firmly wrapped by the robotic arm, preventing the planet from having any chance of flying away.
At the same time, the Andromeda, which had restarted its gravitational cancellation position, lost its original gravitational force, and the resource star was fixed in a suitable position and no longer moved closer to the Andromeda.
At this time, all the thrusters of the Andromeda were shut down, all the weapons were offline, and the life support system also entered the lowest power operation.
The lights inside the spacecraft were all turned off, and only some emergency lights were used for battery lighting.
Sixty percent of the energy of the entire spacecraft is transferred to the laser located directly in front of the spacecraft’s reactor.
The laser drill head enclosing the spacecraft’s reactor began to emit red light, and the cylinder that the Andromeda had originally placed on top of the bridge began to slowly retract inward, and the cylinder where the laser was located began to be inserted into the ground of the resource star.
When the beams of these laser drills converge in front of the cylinder to form a hemisphere, everything they touch is instantly melted into a gaseous state!
At the same time, the collectors located behind and around the drill bit will absorb all these gasified minerals, and they will be refined into a variety of different minerals in the spacecraft’s refining area and condensed into a solid state.
The entire planet was directly inserted into the core of the planet by this “drill bit”!
Wherever the drill bit passed, it was instantly vaporized and disappeared by the high temperature, and various raw material cubes began to pile up in the spacecraft’s warehouse.
At the same time, behind the spacecraft, a large number of useless stones were made into cubes and discharged into space.
These rocks are “waste residue” made up of useless materials in the planet. Because the construction of space stations and spacecraft does not require these waste residues, they are discharged into space as garbage.
When the drill bit advanced to the limit, the entire resource star had been dug into a pit with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers and a depth of 5,000 kilometers. At the end of the pit was the earth’s core that was still glowing red!
“The resource mining efficiency is 83.11%, the material warehouse is full, so stop mining!”
When the material warehouse of the spacecraft was full, the drill bit began to gradually shut down to cool down.
Of course, this resource star will not be wasted in this way, it will continue to mine when the material warehouse becomes vacant again.
A large amount of materials obtained by mining the resource star are sent to the spacecraft’s industrial zone for processing.
Cruisers and destroyers began to take shape in the docks of the Andromeda spacecraft.
With a wealth of materials, only the number of docks is the only thing that restricts the speed of the spacecraft’s construction of battleships.
Originally, the mission of Andromeda was to explore Andromeda instead of building a spacecraft. Therefore, only three, six, and nine docks were prepared on the entire spacecraft.
Three of the medium-sized docks can only build cruisers, while the small docks can only build destroyers.
According to the current dock, there are many young people who want to build a fleet.
At this time ~www.mtlnovel.com~ used the space station building module on the spacecraft.
Through the assembly line to produce the modular cabins required by the space station, a space station capable of accommodating one thousand people can be completed in only one day.
And it only takes 15 days to build a medium-sized dock!
An average of one month can have two medium-sized docks or a large space station with a capacity of 30,000 people!
“All our current resources have been concentrated on the construction of docks and battleships. In just one month, we can have the first exploration fleet composed of three cruisers and six destroyers and five medium-sized docks.”
“According to your plan, the first fleet will go to the nearest planetary system to explore and find traces of the Zerg.”
“In the second month, we will have a second fleet of five cruisers and six destroyers!”
“As the number of docks increases, the number of fleets we can organize is increasing every month!” Inside the Andromeda Bridge, Tang San and others are sitting with Tang Shizhe studying future development plans.
