Chapter 2 There is something wrong with this mothership!
2. Something is wrong with this mothership!
The cabin door opened, and the green lights in the white corridor lit up, indicating to Tang Xiao the elevator leading to the bridge. The nurse guarding the door lowered her head and ran back to the medical cabin to clean up.
[The manager has woken up, please pay attention to the work arrangements of all units... The manager has woken up...] In the corridor, the broadcast from the master brain is still echoing.
However, the whole place still seemed empty. Tang Xiao walked for a long time before he saw two soldiers in black uniforms at the elevator door.
Seeing Tang Xiao approaching, the two soldiers stood at attention and gave a very standard military salute, "Hello, manager!"
Tang Xiao was a little uncomfortable with it, but he still nodded in return. Seeing his response, the two soldiers raised their well-developed chest muscles higher.
After riding in an elevator that seemed to be very long, he arrived at a very spacious hall. At the door were two more soldiers. They had firm faces. When they saw Tang Xiao approaching, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.
In the center of the hall is a huge holographic projection star map, but most of the star map is dark and nothing can be seen.
There are many seats and consoles around. It seems that if this place is to start operating, at least hundreds of people need to work together at the same time, but now there are only more than a dozen people working in the hall.
"Salute!" Everyone present stood up and saluted Tang Xiao, "Hello, manager!"
Tang Xiao was a little uncomfortable with this, but he still nodded and looked outside through the huge panoramic observation window. A green planet came into view. Unlike the blue earth, this planet only had a lot of green vegetation.
, so the whole thing looks green.
On the periphery of the planet, white atmospheric clouds are clearly visible, showing the planet's good atmospheric environment.
However, the most eye-catching thing is not this planet, but an extremely huge planet behind. Compared with the giant planet, the small planet in front of us is like a mouse standing at the feet of an elephant.
The light blue sphere looks smooth and clean, with only a few places containing dark cyclones, like the bouncy balls we played with when we were children - it is obvious that this is a gas giant planet.
"Is this the habitable planet we have found now?" Tang Xiao asked.
[Yes, manager.] The central holographic projection immediately switched to the appearance of a star system, and the mastermind explained: [The current star system is a stable binary star system, with two stars constantly rotating around a common center point.
There is only one planet in the star system, which is this gas giant planet with a diameter of kilometers.]
[In addition, there are 9 satellites around this gas giant planet, and we are right next to one of them. There is also a satellite with a suitable climate, but the ocean coverage rate is more than 95%, which is not suitable for colonization under the current circumstances.
.]
"Nine satellites orbiting a gas giant planet?" Tang Xiao frowned and thought in his memory, "Okay, that means we can only colonize this asteroid, right? At least first
Tell me how things are going now."
A 25 or 6-year-old young man wearing a dark blue military uniform stood up on the round table nearby. He saluted Tang Xiao and then said: "First we need to replenish conventional fuel. The atmosphere of this gas giant planet contains a large amount of fuel."
Helium can be used as energy source for various spacecraft fusion reactors. Therefore, it is necessary to build a mining station near the giant planet. There are modular semi-finished products in the mothership's warehouse, and some small engineering spacecraft are stored in the hangar to complete the assembly work.
, but these spacecraft need people to pilot them.”
"So I need to wake these pilots up?"
"Yes, after you woke up from hibernation, the mastermind woke up a total of 50 of us to start preparations for you in advance. Among them, 10 marines, 5 civilian personnel, 5 staff officers, 5 correspondents, and 5 maintenance personnel
personnel and 10 mothership control personnel, in addition to 10 medical staff to ensure our health at all times. Now we need your authorization to wake up more people."
"Very good, what's your name?" Tang Xiao asked, seeing that this man spoke in a measured manner.
"My name is Qi Jian! I am a member of the staff department!" Qi Jian puffed up his chest and answered loudly.
"Flagship, this is a good name, very good. If there is no corresponding position yet, then from now on you will be our temporary chief of staff." Tang Xiao said.
He also roughly understands some things. What he needs to do now is to first build a team. He can't understand everything himself, but as long as there are people below who understand, then it will be fine.
Sure enough, after being appointed by Tang Xiao, Qi Jian suddenly became excited, and he answered loudly: "Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
"Okay, let me take a look at the situation of our hibernating crew members." Following the prompts from the mastermind, Tang Xiao sat down on the highest seat in the center of the bridge, and a huge holographic screen immediately unfolded in front of him.
The people listed on the screen who can be awakened include 600,000 residents and 50,000 crew members. These people are specialized in different fields. As for the current situation, it is obvious that people should be selected to awaken among the 50,000 crew members.
, these people are more familiar with working on the mothership.
These personnel are also divided into different levels, including ordinary, elite, and master. After that, there are three levels that are all question marks. The conditions that need to be met to awaken these personnel are also different.
For example, master-level talents are basically masters who have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields. If you want to awaken such people to face a colony that is so poor that they don't even have a tent, it would be as wasteful as asking a postdoctoral fellow to move bricks.
Therefore, the conditions that need to be met to awaken them are marked below these talents, and most of these conditions are conditions that they put forward before entering cryo-hibernation and were determined after signing a contract with the mothership.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tang Xiao was curious to see who the masters were. He clicked on a random person and found that he was a master of astrophysics.
For his home, his requirements were a three-story villa, a private swimming pool, a state-of-the-art laboratory and a super radio astronomy observatory built on a plateau at least 3,000 meters above sea level.
Clicked on another one. This is a master of quantum mechanics. He needs a dust-free environment laboratory, the most advanced experimental equipment, a particle collider at least 50 kilometers long, and two people aged no more than 20 years old.
A beautiful woman as a personal secretary and a large velvet bed with a diameter of no less than 5 meters?
Nanny? Brother, something is wrong with you!
There are also some more normal requirements. For example, the needs of a master sociologist are very simple, not food or clothing, as long as the colonial population exceeds 10 million...
…
…………
This demand is even more outrageous, okay? Asshole (╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻!!
Tang Xiao decisively closed the master level interface. He didn't even look at the elite level this time. He has nothing now. Even if he wakes up those people, they will probably just give up the fight, or else they will die for you to see.
This is actually the truth. In fact, ordinary-level characters can do a good job in the early stage of work, such as workers, and at most some elite-level characters are needed to take the lead.
But it is still necessary to have stricter conditions for awakening a master-level figure. For example, if you awaken a master-level physicist when the colony is still under construction, there are no sophisticated instruments or laboratories. Why should he come? Go teach physics in a school.
? The problem is that you don’t even have a school now!
Most of these master-level figures are 50 to 60 years old. With one year less, are they allowed to come out earlier and waste time following the development of the early colonial period?
Therefore, it is not without reason that these people signed such conditions and contracts before falling asleep.
Relatively speaking, ordinary-level people don’t have many conditions to wake up. If you open it and take a look, they basically have food, housing, and work. Only a few people require that the working environment requires members of the opposite sex, or they hope to be able to eat
to small conditions like noodles.
Before authorizing the awakening, Tang Xiao thought for a while and asked: "Mastermind, am I the only one who can authorize the awakening of the crew? And these people all work for me?"
[Yes, you are the highest authority owner of the mothership. All crew members and residents are also selected by you, and they will also devote themselves to you. 】
Tang Xiao nodded silently. He quickly found the engineering department among the ordinary crew members, and then chose to wake up 10 teams, each with 10 people, responsible for controlling an engineering spacecraft, and then awakened two teams of 10 people.
Logistics and maintenance personnel. Then after appointing captains respectively, a small leadership team was established.
After getting started, Tang Xiao quickly got into the role. The mastermind said before that he might have learned while sleeping. This small-scale work assignment was still very simple. He woke up 20 more people in the Ministry of Agriculture.
I personally went to take care of the hydroponic cabin in the mothership, because after checking, he found that many of the crops in the water tank were withered.
No wonder the mastermind told him that supplies were at the bottom, and he didn’t know what happened to the ship. Maybe it was a disaster?
After completing the most urgent work, Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, crossed his legs and said, "Mastermind, please introduce the basic situation of this mothership."
【OK.】
The central holographic projection showed a panoramic view of the mothership, and then the mastermind continued to explain: [The civilization to which this ship belongs is unknown, the manufacturer is unknown, and its specifications are civilian colonial motherships. It has only the minimum armament and armor, and currently has the highest authority.
Owner and administrator Tang Xiao.]
[Technical parameters: Total height 41.37km, longest part 10.92km, total weight 373.079 billion tons. Arms: 5 mass projectors, and a point defense system containing 377 small electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons. Total capacity...]
While the mastermind was explaining things clearly and clearly, Tang Xiao didn't pay attention to it at all. Because he was stunned by the holographic projection of the huge spaceship that appeared in front of him!
This is a giant spaceship that looks like a crescent moon or a banana. The overall design has a very simple aesthetic. There is a gap in the upper middle, where there are a large number of portholes, and there is the bridge.
What shocked Tang Xiao was not the fact that the size of this super giant ship was directly equivalent to the distance from the Imperial Capital to Langfang, but because... he knew this ship!
""Homeland"!! Kushen's mothership!!" Tang Xiao's face changed drastically and he cried out.
Of course Tang Xiao has played the famous game "Homeland: Song of Kushen". It is equivalent to an epoch-making game that ushered in a new era of space real-time strategy games. Not only that, this game is also famous for its grand plot.
Tang Xiao was deeply fascinated by this game when he was still in elementary school.
But now, this Kushen mothership, which can be said to be the iconic ship in the entire "Homeworld" world, is actually the one he took over?!
This is wrong! Why do things in the game become reality? Also, if even the mothership in "Homeland" appears in reality, does that mean...
