Meinhof is a mining planet in the Kaimorian Conglomerate.
Whether viewed from synchronous orbit or on the holographic star map of the Swan family's dilapidated and oil-stained observatory in the New Apollon community, this dark blue planet has no features, with canyons and ravines.
Rooted like scars in its dark brown earth, the land is as poor as a bare stone in the universe.
It surrounds an equally featureless main-sequence star, a young sun that always rises very slowly. On this barren land, its light cannot even nourish the crops of Camorion, which can only grow in the nursery.
with precious crops.
Young Rory Swann always had inexplicable expectations for the fireball hanging above Mrs. Mainho's head, thinking that it could bring some beautiful things, such as mountains, rivers, and mountains that did not exist on this planet.
Forest grassland.
But as the old Camorian proverb goes, "The uglier the appearance, the richer the content."
Meinhof is actually a good place. The mountains and plains here are dotted with gas refineries, mines, processing plants, oil refineries, and among these factories are large and small communities where families with the same surname live.
In fact, Swann rarely gets to see the sun, which the residents of the New Apollonian community call the "Fire Serpent". Just like the men in other communities, he went to work in the mines when he was sixteen years old, and now he has
Is a skilled and experienced miner.
In Meinhof, all jobs are inseparable from mining. Food, daily necessities and even water resources are heavily dependent on imports. Especially today when war is sucking the blood of all Camorians, Si
Wang, his fathers and cousins all had to work twice as hard as before to earn the bread to feed their family.
Before the sun has risen, Swann has to put on his overalls and boots and take an elevator from the mouth of a bottomless mine into a pit, driving Kaimo in a tunnel full of dust and inferior crystals.
Ruian Mining Robot uses a power electric drill to extract crystals from the mine and send them to the road truck in the tunnel.
The workers had to work continuously for twelve hours every day until the next worker who took over them went down the well, and the sun had already set by then. Swann got up in the dark morning and went down the well, and did not return home until late at night. He had not been there for several months.
After seeing the sun, his scarred skin became white.
Rory Swann wiped the dust off the old machine with a rag that was not much cleaner than the family's only observation platform, and then placed the insulated lunch box he brought on the flat console, thinking to himself
How his uncle Edward would angrily scold him.
But that doesn't matter, just let him pull his beard in a hurry. Swann will apologize to him after he has eaten and drank enough.
Swann opened the lunch box and lamented the food inside - two fried bread slices, a small spoonful of butter and a palm-sized piece of Moria avocado. It was noon, and he had to rely on these things to survive
until night.
Although life is very hard and entertainment life is pitiful, Swann does not feel sorry for himself. On the contrary, he always enjoys it. This is not to say that Swann has become accustomed to patience, but because he prefers to be with himself.
The family members live together with other family members.
The Swann family is a united big family. Just like other families in Kemerian, it is their tradition to help each other and help each other. A few slices of bread did not make any difference. When Swann stood up again, his coo
His growling stomach and cramping calves were undoubtedly protesting to him, but he had to return to his post immediately.
He packed up everything in ten seconds and walked towards his mining robot parked not far away. The Camorian mining robot was crawler-type, only twelve feet tall, with two
The joystick-controlled robotic arm can be equipped with a power drill, laser drill, engineering clamp and plasma welding gun, which is fueled by high-energy gas.
Swann's mining robot looks larger than others, with more obvious but unclear parts. There is also an extra mechanical arm, two propellers and matching parts added to the back of the robot.
engine.
With the help of this robot, Swann can complete the work faster and better. The fuel cost is of course higher, but it is cost-effective compared with the increased efficiency.
This robot can even be equipped with a power hammer and machine gun if necessary. Swann has not yet been exposed to anything other than automatic rifles and electromagnetic guns, but he thinks they will not be difficult for him.
Although Rory Swann does not feel that he is any different from others, he is undoubtedly the most talented genius mechanic and inventor in the entire Swan family and even New Apollowen.
Swann doesn't like to deal with people very much. He is always used to immersing himself in doing his own things and likes tools that are uninteresting in the eyes of others.
He likes to get his hands stained with oil, and there is nothing more beautiful than the sound of gears turning in machinery. Swann is keen on dismantling, repairing and reassembling equipment. The hard life forces him to constantly innovate and use various methods.
Various inventions to make life for yourself and your family better.
"Lori, come and fix the magnetic resonance machine." A powerful voice echoed in the empty mine.
"I'll be here soon, um... I hope that thing can hold up before I come, huh, it's hard to say." In the second half, Swann was almost talking to himself.
Just as Swan was about to walk in the direction where the sound came from, suddenly, the observatory next to him, which had not moved for at least twenty years, seemed to jump up and emit a flickering red light. Swan's short
But the strong and strong body immediately threw himself on the console. He didn't know what that meant, but it was not good news.
This observatory has a history as old as the Swan family. It is connected to the earliest artificial satellite in Meinhof synchronous orbit and detects routes throughout the galaxy through a relatively "primitive" radar system.
Usually, on certain days of the month, several holographic projections of the Kemerian system cargo ships will suddenly appear on this observatory. These holographic projections, which look like scaled-down models, are green representing friendly forces.
During the colonial period, the first generation Meinhof used this observatory to contact the supply fleet responsible for transporting necessary supplies and mining facilities to the colonists. At the same time, this observatory was also responsible for monitoring enemy fleets in the system.
But it has never been put to any use. At this time, the Kaimorian pirates were basically "one of their own."
Swann hoped that this grandmother's machine was just having a seizure, but the three slowly moving Behemoth-class battlecruisers and the other two leaping battleships on the holographic projection shattered his hopes in an instant.
The holographic light and shadow is dangerous red.
