Chapter 44: The Funeral of Natural Selection

As the captain, Zhou Heng naturally has to set an example for all crew members.

After Natural Selection docked successfully, Zhou Heng followed the first batch of people out of the cabin and set foot on the surface of Satellite 1.

The first batch of people to leave the cabin was 100 people.

Among these one hundred people, all are engineers.

Their task is to direct the nanorobots to build a small temporary base.

Of course, the small size and area cannot accommodate all the crew members.

In fact, the main functions of this small base are mostly experiments, medical treatment, and staff dormitories.

In fact, most people still have to stay on Natural Selection for a while, waiting for the further development of Satellite 1.

According to the plan, the first phase of the underground city project is expected to be completed within three months.

When the first phase of the project is officially completed, all crew members can move out of the Natural Selection and officially start their large-scale development plan for the No. 1 satellite.

The departure of the first batch of personnel was completed under the live broadcast of all crew members.

When he first stepped onto the ground of Satellite 1, Zhou Heng didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart.

"Do you want me to say something?"

Zhou Heng's voice spread from the headset to the ears of all the crew members on the Natural Selection.

"Forget it, we don't have time to waste, everyone is still waiting for us."

After saying that, Zhou Heng waved his hand: "Everyone, proceed as planned."

With that said, Zhou Heng personally directed a team of nano-robots to join in the construction.

There were no flags or passionate speeches. After setting foot on the ground of Satellite 1, Zhou Heng and the others immediately got into work.

No one was surprised by this, because no one on this spaceship was a formalist.

Zhou Heng chose to be the first batch to leave the cabin, which they considered to be the greatest form of formalism.

Continuous explosions continued to occur around the Natural Selection.

In order to mine mineral resources more quickly, Zhou Heng and the others chose a simple and crude method - blasting.

The blasted ore was quickly collected by nanorobots and quickly decomposed into materials needed for base construction in the newly established decomposition plant.

With the assistance of nanorobots, the construction of small simple bases is progressing very quickly.

Zhou Heng did not stay on the surface of Satellite 1 for too long. After symbolically digging the foundation of the small base, he returned to Natural Selection.

After all, there are still many jobs waiting for him, and it is impossible for him to devote himself to being an engineer.

The construction of the small base went smoothly. It only took three days to complete the construction of a simple base with three underground floors.

After the construction was completed, the relevant equipment was quickly installed.

After that, a large number of scientific researchers stationed themselves in the small base and began to conduct more detailed research on the various rocks and soils of Satellite 1.

At the same time, after verifying that the underground city plan was feasible, more engineers began to leave the cabin and officially started the first phase of the underground city construction.

Engineers on the surface are busy working on the project, and the rest of the staff on the Natural Selection are not idle either.

They are busy dismantling various equipment on the Natural Selection.

Although the Natural Selection sailed with them for four thousand years, during these four thousand years, it took them safely to the new colony in the dark and lonely universe.

But they did not choose to let Natural Selection live in peace for thousands of years.

Instead, its redundant parts were dismantled, broken down into materials, and manufactured into various large-scale machinery and equipment to support the construction of the underground city.

For example, its power system.

Except for the No. 3 steering engine that had already been ejected, all the other engines were disassembled and integrated into the mechanical equipment for building the underground city.

This is just the beginning. After the first phase of the underground city is completed, everyone can move to the underground city.

By then, the Natural Selection body will also be dismantled, and the rare metals decomposed will be used intensively to accelerate industrialization.

It's not that they were cruel and ruthlessly dismantled it after using it, the actual reason was that a large part of the materials used on the Natural Selection's hull were rare metals.

They won't be able to build it in a short time, but these materials will be indispensable in the construction of future underground cities and various industrial facilities.

If they had to start from scratch, it would take too long.

So after a vote by the entire crew, they decided to integrate the Natural Selection into the dungeon to exert its last remaining heat.

At the same time, it can be regarded as continuing to accompany them in another form.

After three months of intense construction, the first phase of the underground city has been completed.

The entire crew officially broke away from the shackles of the Natural Selection and embarked on the first step of colonization.

Carrying their only suitcase, the crew members jumped lightly along the long passage to the entrance of the dungeon ahead.

The entrance to the underground city is a huge elevator that can accommodate a thousand people at a time.

After passing through the long passage and taking the giant elevator to slowly descend, a huge space appeared in front of everyone.

In the empty space, there are only scattered buildings in one corner.

“It’s so empty~”

The crew member who came to the dungeon for the first time couldn't help but sigh.

"This is just the first phase of the underground city project." The guide leading this group of crew members introduced it to everyone.

"Although it is a little empty now, in the future Second Five-Year Plan, we will gradually build this place into a city that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time."

"Your dormitory is ready. Please come with me."

"Yingying, hurry up. We are already the last batch. Soon, the decomposition ceremony of Natural Selection will begin."

"If we don't pack it up quickly, we won't be able to catch the live broadcast."

"Wait for me, Sister Ling, my box is too big."

The crew members who were still looking at their future new home suddenly lost their mood to continue visiting after hearing the conversation between the two sisters, and quickened their pace.

Although they cruelly decomposed the Natural Selection Number in order to develop rapidly, it has blessed them for four thousand years, and they still have feelings for it.

So Zhou Heng proposed to hold a live broadcast for the decomposition of Natural Selection and let everyone send it on its last journey.

This is a week-long live broadcast.

Within a week, Natural Selection went from internal facilities to external steel plates and finally the keel.

Under the watchful eyes of all the crew members, the Natural Selection was broken down into various materials by a large number of nanorobots.

With the disappearance of the Natural Selection, a large number of factories in the underground city were successfully constructed.

These include the establishment of important facilities such as artificial starch synthesis factories, livestock breeding bases, artificial wombs, and comprehensive childcare centers.
