096 The Beginning of Civilization(1/2)
"Dark Star? It's called Dark Star?"
Kolev looked at the projection screen in front of Yang Ming. The rocky planet was slowly rotating. Two irregularly shaped asteroids were captured and became his satellites in the long astronomical time.
"Does this have any specific meaning?" Kolev asked.
"It's the stars hiding in the darkness," Yang Ming said casually, "Isn't that a cool name?"
"Cool," Kolev clicked his tongue, "it's a name that young people like."
"Then what would you name me?"
"A beautiful dream goddess?" Kolev murmured, "It must represent an unattainable dream, or have a certain religious color... Let me see its basic parameters, oh, it has a rich underground water system
, and there are intact shallow mineral veins... This is actually a resource star abandoned by the Luofeng Empire? They really only have rhodium-6 rings in their eyes!"
Yang Ming smiled and said nothing.
Of course this old pirate who likes to rob doesn't understand the joy of picking up leaks.
The housekeeping robot controlled by Lu warned: "Boss, the transport ship has entered the atmosphere."
"It's started, it's started, let's get there quickly!"
Kolev put on the holographic helmet excitedly.
Yang Ming glanced at the mailbox of his watch, and first sent a message to Windsor that he would work for several hours, and then picked up the familiar-looking helmet next to him.
The helmet is very light and made of carbon fiber-like material.
Yang Ming didn't understand materials science, but he knew that this thin helmet was a technological product that could only be produced by a second-level civilization.
Some information deep in his memory resurfaced.
On the day the "Abyss" game was released, the holographic helmet full of technology made the first batch of early adopters praise it all over the Internet. But now, a question was placed in front of Yang Ming.
Given that Earth's civilization level was less than "1" at the time, could it really be possible to create and mass-produce holographic helmets?
It has also lowered the price to the point where it is cheaper than a high-end brand mobile phone.
The two are not products of the same era at all!
"Boss," Ritsu asked softly, "Is there any problem?"
"Suddenly something occurred to me," Yang Ming breathed out softly and put the helmet on his head. "There are some puzzles that I will have to uncover with my own hands sooner or later."
Ding ding!
An electronically synthesized female voice came to my ears.
"Power on."
The hum of the spacecraft engine appeared next to his ears, and the volume increased from low to high, automatically adjusting to a level that made Yang Ming feel comfortable.
"Please open your eyes, please blink...that's great!"
"Close boot."
The annoying electronic female voice disappeared.
Yang Ming closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened them again. In front of him was the bridge window of the transport ship.
There was a familiar slight distortion at the edge of his vision, reminding him that this was a holographic projection.
Kolev's voice came through the headphones:
"Wow, this planet is so beautiful."
Yang Ming turned around and saw the mechanical soldier standing next to him.
The silver-white frame of the mechanical soldier is stained with oxidation-like rust, and the three cameras installed behind its ears and forehead make it look very funny.
——The mechanical soldier Yang Ming is controlling at the moment also has the same shape.
Yang Ming turned his head and looked forward. He could see the planet's atmosphere like a thin quilt through the porthole window.
A thin energy shield was spread out around the transport ship, and the ship's body cut horizontally into the top of the dense atmosphere. The energy shield trembled slightly, and it seemed that the flow might be cut off at any time.
Yang Ming sweated.
This kind of transport ship does not have thermal insulation coating.
"There's an aurora over there! Wow!"
The old man Kolev, like a child who had never seen the world, started yelling next to him.
"Oh my God, such a good place can be developed into a semi-habitable tourist planet! Those mountains and plateaus are so spectacular. Are the tops of those snow-capped mountains made of water molecules? Wow! Are they the remains of an ancient ocean?
I'm sure
, it’s not just the outer layer that can be developed here!”
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Yes, we can't put the base directly on the surface. It would be very unsafe. I plan to develop the underground ocean under the rock formation and build a new civilization in the earth's crust."
"Civilization?" Kolev murmured, "This word is too heavy, so don't use it casually."
Yang Ming reminded: "Can you control this thing to walk now? We should go to the tail cabin, which is a few hundred meters away from here."
"Of course," Kolev complained, "you should take a few days off and we can go there in person on the Feinan."
Yang Ming sneered: "If Mimi Li hadn't suddenly fucked me once, I would have had a chance to fly over now."
"Oh, she fucked you?" Kolev's voice trembled slightly, "I knew that the relationship between you two must be more than... Oh, you shouldn't say this to an old father, this
It’s really a huge blow. I’ve lost my precious daughter, right? I’m no longer the most important person to her, and the rest of my life has lost half of its value.”
Yang Ming's forehead was covered with black lines, and the mechanical soldier flew up and kicked the mechanical soldier controlled by Kolev until he almost fell down.
"I mean she attacked this ship! She and I are still innocent for the time being!"
"Oh," Kolev suddenly smiled, "I almost wanted to send you blessings, but you are sensible, my dear nephew."
Yang Ming rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to this old slave girl.
What he said was obviously temporary.
Ten minutes later, the transport ship slid smoothly through the atmosphere, and, driven by six sets of high-power engines, it landed on a flat alluvial plain.
A small maintenance spacecraft shaped like a square box carried the two mechanical soldiers out of the tail cabin, flew half a circle around the transport ship, and landed on the mountain ridge beside the target river valley.
Two mechanical soldiers walked out of the maintenance ship and stood on the mountain crest.
Yang Ming carefully looked at the various coefficients displayed on the "tablet" in his hand, as if reading a list of expensive goods.
Kolev looked around with his hands behind his back, admiring the beautiful scenery here, and said in an old scholar's tone:
"Beautiful. At first glance, there are no volcanoes or faults formed by earthquake zones. It is a very good site. The soil here contains microorganisms? Wow, anaerobic bacteria! Maybe after tens of thousands of years of transformation, this place will be transformed.
Can become a new livable star."
But after a while, Kolev became bored.
The process of landing the transport ship is so monotonous.
There were no complicated special effects, nor were they attacked by "indigenous lifeforms on the ground." The transport ship simply dropped down, lowered the support frame, adjusted the angle of the ship, and stopped steadily on the solid and flat surface rock formations.
The tail compartment is fully open.
All side compartments are open.
This large transport ship is shaped like a flat container. The twelve grid decks on the top unfold by themselves, revealing a cargo hold filled with containers and large equipment.
Yang Ming controlled his mechanical soldiers and sat on the mountain ridge, watching with interest the transport ship unloading its cargo.
First, a dozen mechanical soldiers began to work, opening the first thirty containers, revealing rows of engineering crawler robots inside the containers.
The shapes of these crawler robots are very similar. The basic structure is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower, corresponding to the retractable "football" head, solid trapezoidal body, and different numbers of crawlers on the chassis.
These mechanical soldiers were scattered in front of the exit of a container.
Big blinking eyes appeared on the face screens of each crawler robot. They queued up and drove out of the container. After stopping in front of the mechanical soldiers, the mechanical soldiers opened their "skulls" to activate the work program, and then turned aside to wait for work instructions.
The law will coordinate them uniformly.
Their cooperative work is very interesting in Yang Ming's opinion.
Four crawler robots hold the four corners of the container respectively and act as "wheels", allowing the container to have stable and rapid maneuverability.
An array of twenty-four crawler robots can move those
An exaggerated giant machine.
As the total number of one hundred and twenty crawler robots began to work in an orderly manner, the cargo in the transport ship began to be quickly moved out, and small charging stations and energy supply centers appeared on the surface.
More large and medium-sized machinery was gradually activated.
The suspended lifting platform with a "field" structure slowly lifts into the air.
The maintenance truck carrying a large number of mechanical maintenance parts deployed an anti-corrosion tent.
A group of small drones took off and laid a temporary energy shield, which also blocked the weak electric signals released here.
The "Spider" planetary rover, equipped with precision detection instruments, drove out of the river valley and drew a detailed map of the underground structure...
Under the coordination of the law, everything is advancing in an orderly manner.
To be continued...
