This round of maintenance of Swan took a whole day.
Just the installation of the Plan A cannon required modifications to the ship's internal structure. Although the changes were not to the main structure, and the beam cannon did not require particularly high-strength support, the amount of work was still considerable.
In addition, Chu Jungui prepared twice as many armor plates this time, which can roughly cover more than two-thirds of the area of the Swan. Although key parts have not been strengthened, the overall defense has increased slightly. This is an improvement compared to the standard version.
, is no small matter.
The changes to the internal structure of the ship are relatively large, so Chu Jungui reserved space for the second Plan A gun. This idea can be said to be crazy, which is equivalent to installing two heavy cruise guns in the size of a light cruiser. Who cares?
You will definitely be surprised when you encounter the Swan.
After the maintenance work was completed, Chu Jungui also received more than 200 empty energy capsules from Lin Xi in one breath. With the current scale of the supply station, it would take 50 days to fill them all. Chu Jungui even wondered whether Lin Xi had filled the entire supply station.
All the empty energy capsules in the mobile base have been moved out.
But with the current production capacity of the base, the size of the supply station can be doubled in two days. It only takes a week to fill 20 empty energy tanks every day. This is equivalent to replenishing five destroyers in one day. The supply capacity
It's already a bit amazing.
The Swan once again jumped into the vast deep space. Chu Jungui watched her go away until she completely disappeared, then he looked away. Li Ruobai flew over and said: "How many words did you say to Sister Xi this time? No.
More than 3 sentences, right?”
Chu Jungui was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then said: "More than that, there are 5 sentences."
Li Ruobai took a deep look at him and said, "You are hopeless."
Chu Jungui was stunned for a moment, but didn't take it seriously. He took out a design drawing and said, "This is the concept of our new starship. Come and take a look. I named it the Exploding Sea Urchin..."
Li Ruobai shook his head helplessly, received the design drawing, and studied it carefully.
Lin Xi left, and the base returned to quiet and high-speed operation. Since the beast tide was defeated, the scope of Chu Jungui's resource extraction expanded to a radius of one hundred kilometers. With a steady supply of resources, production capacity can be expanded again. Seeing that
With the overall production capacity approaching the 200,000 mark, it will be exceeded soon.
With sufficient production capacity and huge energy as a backing, Chu Jungui transformed the orbital station, moved all the power furnaces on the space station back to the planet's surface, and recharged the energy capsules on the ground.
The orbital station Chu Jungui did not just let it sit idle, but continued to expand its scale and began to build staff dormitories. Chu Jungui plans to transform the orbital center into a maintenance engineering station to make maintenance work faster.
Just as Chu Jungui was remodeling the orbital station and starting to build a new starship, a starship quietly entered the orbit of Planet 4 and appeared near the orbital station.
The origin of this starship is unknown, there are no markings on the hull, and the main gun is exposed, full of murderous intent. Although Chu Jungui was taken aback, he remained calm in the face of danger, quickly boarded the Venomous Bee, and stopped the starship.
way out.
The starship hovered for a while, as if observing this strange starship. After a while, it fired a communication beam: "Is Xinyi here?"
Most of the hostility in Chu Jungui's heart disappeared, and he replied: "Explain your identity."
Starship said with a little helplessness: "I am her uncle and happened to be passing by here, so I made a special trip to see her."
Passing by such nonsense, Chu Jungui certainly didn't believe it: "Please explain your identity in detail."
Starship was silent for a moment and said: "I am Duan Xuyan, and Xinyi's mother is my biological sister. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Chu Jungui sent someone to notify Li Xinyi. When the girl came to the Venomous Bee, she was startled when she saw the message and replied: "Uncle? Why are you here?"
"Let's talk when we meet."
The starship crossed the hull, stretched out the docking bridge, and docked with the Venomous Bee. The hatch opened, and a man who looked to be in his early thirties walked out of the starship.
Standing in front of everyone, his figure is like a sculpture, elegant and sharp. His slightly classical handsome face has a mature charm soaked in time, especially his pair of light brown pupils, which seem to be born with the ability to speak.
As soon as she saw this man, Li Xinyi rushed over and shouted: "Uncle! It's really you!"
The man smiled and patted the girl's head lovingly: "Who else could it be if it weren't for me? Your father is in constant trouble and can't get away, so he sent me over to see how you are doing, and bring you something by the way.
Order something to eat.”
"Eat?" The girl was stunned.
"Haha! Don't you think this is a very contemporary joke?" The man laughed heartily, but no one else laughed.
Duan Xuyan continued to laugh for a while, a little embarrassed, and then sighed: "I came here to deliver something with good intentions, but no one cheered me up? Then I'll go back."
The girl just looked at him, as if she wanted to leave. Duan Xuyan continued to sigh and said: "I finally understand why my brother-in-law refused to come by himself. Maybe he is afraid of being angry with you? Do you mind if I visit?"
Would you like to get off your spaceship?"
Chu Jungui gave an order in his consciousness, and the wise man on the spaceship immediately put a lid on himself and hid in the main brain box. As long as the wise man was not discovered, there was nothing else to see, so Chu Jungui gave way to the passage.
Duan Xuyan entered the Venomous Bee and read it all within two steps, then asked: "Where is the passage to the lower level?"
"Lower level? There is no lower level." Li Xinyi said.
"Is it so big? What about the rest area, the restaurant, the entertainment area, and the meditation hall? There must be a bedroom and a bathroom, right? Why isn't there even a toilet?" Duan Xuyan asked a lot of questions in one breath.
Li Xinyi replied coldly: "None."
"What's there? Just these seats?"
Li Xinyi nodded.
Duan Xuyan looked around and saw three consoles and seats, and then a large box that looked like a master brain. Other than that, there was nothing else. The cabin area was pitifully small.
It doesn't look like this from the outside. In other words, the ship wall is thicker than the cockpit.
"It seems that the function integration is done well." He finally found an advantage.
Duan Xuyan glanced at the transport ship hovering not far away and said, "That ship over there looks a little bit good, but why does it look familiar? Is that... a federal transport ship?"
The transport ship was indeed snatched from the Federation, but it was subsequently heavily modified and a composite armor plate was added to the exterior. The appearance changed drastically, and it took Duan Xuyan a while to recognize it.
"We robbed it," the girl said.
Duan Xuyan's eyes lingered on Chu Jungui for a moment, and then he said: "It seems that you are doing well here, and I just brought some things over, which may make your life better. Come with me!
"
After Chu Jun returned, Li Xinyi and Li Ruobai walked into the starship opposite and walked all the way to the cargo hold. This starship was much larger than the Venomous Bee. After entering, they found that the interior was even more luxurious. Every detail is worth savoring carefully.
, which is completely different from the crudeness and roughness of the Venomous Bee.
