Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

Today's recipe is very ordinary, brown rice, a dessert bread with the size of a fist, a small box of carrot sauce, a vegetable salad composed of seasonal vegetables, a small bowl of fish soup boiled by fish cultured in water tanks, and finally a piece of baked quite crispy , steak with black pepper sauce.

No one cares much about the specific meat, as long as it is not human flesh. As for whether it is taken from live livestock or grown in a tissue culture cabin, it doesn't matter.

The workers are not soul eaters, and they are not very picky about the taste. What they need are the calories and sufficient satiety that can support their work for most of the afternoon.The leftovers will be cleaned into the fermentation chamber to become the nourishment for microorganisms, and the remaining part will be used to cultivate black coccus, which can produce a large amount of oxygen and starch, and recover the quality as much as possible.

This system is part of the self-circulation system on the early spacecraft. Although it is not very good due to the limited equipment conditions, it can also avoid throwing out a lot of garbage as much as possible.

After a day's work, except for the night shift, other people leave the production park one after another. The same special bus returns to the centralized dormitory area. The living pattern is simple, and the group even opened a supermarket and a small farmer's market near the dormitory area. , the surplus goods produced by each workshop are put here and sold at a price slightly higher than the cost price.

However, most of the people who come to buy are outsiders, and gradually formed a cheap commodity market for the bottom-level people, especially when the group employees are off work, it can be said to be very lively.

After all, everyone in Longmen knows that the lower-level employees of the Xia Group have a little spare money in Longmen coins, and their work intensity is not high, and they have the time and energy to use spare money to spend, and the centralized dormitory area is more guaranteed. A considerable flow of people will attract customers who are not members of the group.

Any businessman with a bit of economic sense will smell the smell of land and shop promotion here. Unfortunately, the ground here belongs to the private territory of the group. No one cares about this kind of stall erected without permission, but if it is an illegal building, I will come to you The brother from the security department who was talking was not so polite.

"Hmm~ It's snowing~" The worker who just got off the bus stretched out his hand, and a pale white snowflake fell into his palm, which quickly melted away, and then the Longmen was about to move about 70 kilometers to avoid the alarm of natural disasters.

For the citizens living in Longmen, they packed up their things calmly and prepared to enter the shelter. Originally, those slums were the most troublesome thing at this time. If they did not move fast enough, they might be involved in the deformed parts of the city, leaving no bones left. .

The bridge in the urban area was disconnected, the deck was recovered, the ground floor was separated, the checkpoints and slopes in and out of the urban area were collected, the elevators were closed, and the various urban areas quickly entered a state of disintegration. Then the power system was ignited, and the city gradually spread out like a pile of building blocks, becoming A rolling traffic flow is heading towards the southeast part of the refuge area.

The whole process generally takes 1 to 2 weeks to complete the relocation of the entire Longmen, and then it takes about 1 week to change back to the state of the city.

Snowflakes fluttered down, and soon, the buildings and decks were covered with a thin layer of snow, and the thick clouds were reflected in a strange blood red by the sun falling into the horizon, and soon followed The disappearance of the sun turned into a gray-black sky, with only slender snowflakes dancing in the lights.

[PS]

Before the Great Depression, it was not a slow recession. Instead, it ushered in a rather prosperous period. However, because the income of workers and farmers did not increase, the value of industrial output doubled and there were continuous bumper harvests. At the same time, The popularization of automation has reduced a large number of social jobs.

The sharp reduction in expenditure and consumption of social groups exceeds the increase in expenditure of other social groups, ushering in a sharp decline in consumption, and the decline in consumption has exacerbated job cuts and unemployment brought about by automation.

Prices plummeted, but everyone couldn't afford things. There were even famous scenes where coal miners froze to death because they couldn't sell their coal and were unemployed and couldn't afford coal, and poured milk into the river.The Great Depression ensues.

This is essentially a "richness disease" rather than a "poor disease" of capitalism, and the solution is simple-fuck it, consume the excess population and output value, and then create more jobs through post-war reconstruction ——The "Maxim Method" in the Troika

Chapter 72 The Dark of the Moon

"Click!" There was a crisp sound, and the headlights on the ceiling were turned on one after another, illuminating the entire hangar brightly. In the central open space, a huge monster was sleeping quietly.

The wings and body are fused, the ends can be folded upwards, the full-open wingspan is 77 meters, and the body length is 65 meters. There are two large, two small and four engines. There is no vertical tail and the cockpit cannot be seen. White side strips [picture at the end].

The ... model of the Star Alliance "Red Tail Falcon" carrier-based attack aircraft, except for the four engines that are really active, all other mechanical parts and avionics parts are empty shells.

As the oldest carrier-based attack aircraft, the rocket propulsion engine it uses is within the manual range of Lao Xia. Considering the material problem, it is uncertain how much performance can be left, but the avionics and other mechanical parts are beyond the scope up.

Equipped with an omnidirectional laser attack cabin and a bomb delivery cabin like the early warning dish radar, the main job is to attack the ground and orbital facilities. Therefore, it has an aerodynamic shape and folding wings for flying in the atmosphere.

Because the earliest version used a chemical energy rocket engine instead of a nuclear thrust engine, the end of the tail flame was red with insufficient combustion, so it was named "Red Tail Falcon", an unmanned attack aircraft, which can carry 4 heavy ground attack missiles or A full 60 precision-guided bombs.

Orbital bombing is a delicate job, not really a stupid thing to throw rocks. Asteroid rocks are cheap, but whether it is a bomb or a missile, its warhead is not expensive. The engine and the navigation equipment to guide it to attack are more expensive, and the effect is not as good as a dedicated missile warhead. 【So, don't say anything stupid about asteroid bombing being worthless】

Orbital attack aircraft are mainly used for precise destruction, and are generally used to snatch occupied or controlled colonies and orbital facilities of one's own side. Because the pots and pans are all owned by oneself, the attack method of mindlessly throwing gravity bombs on orbital bombers cannot be used.

Later, this kind of full-time ground attack aircraft was replaced by specialized multi-functional fighter jets. The main reason is that the popularity of carrier-based precision attack systems no longer required such attack aircraft to enter the atmosphere to compete for air supremacy and precision bombing.

"This thing belongs to you. You can dismantle it for research, or change it into a bomber."

Dr. "It's so beautiful" looked up at the huge fuselage, which is no less than the single-stage orbiting vehicle built by the Terrans. If you consider that its original configuration also includes a miniature jump engine, it can shoot out at sub-light speed , and even higher technical content.

"Don't be too happy, the boss said, this is an empty shell, except for the engine that can really ignite and fly, the rest is empty." Andre, who manages the Longmen warehouse, knocked on the belly shell of the machine. , issued a hollow echo, "By the way, the shell is also a real thing, um, the outermost ablative protective shell is also real, it can really fly, the premise is that you equip it with a brain and a spine."

"This is enough." The doctor showed a rare smile, "This is enough, I will take it to Ram Billiton for follow-up construction work, I hope it is really like your boss said, I mean Thruster."

"Who knows~" Andre is a disabled member of the snow monster team. He lost a leg and a hand during the previous anti-Ursus siege, although the boss installed a very powerful autologous clone for him. New legs, but due to the rough nerve connection technology, it is still not suitable for the battlefield again, so it has become an old guy who guards the warehouse.

With him, no one can steal things from the warehouse and sell them. His specially selected artificial robotic arm is not a vegetarian. The 45-horsepower electronically controlled nano-muscle can crush heads and eggs. almost.

One of the agreements reached by the doctor and Xia Lin is this aircraft. He needs a more convenient vehicle that can be used for small-scale elite combat troops, and at the same time prepares for the possibility of entering the Starship to control some of its equipment. Of course , which is also an important card in his hand, must be prepared before going to talk to Kosiche.

"It's fine as long as the appearance looks the same." The doctor is not picky, "Can the engine be tested?"

"Okay, the boss has repaired a test bench over there, you can try it." Andre got the authorization from the boss, so he naturally had no objections.

After completing a series of test runs such as taking pictures and recording, and confirming that the engine is really moving, the engineers of Rhodes Island transferred this behemoth to the deck of Rhodes Island, where a thick layer of cold and moisture-proof cloth will It is fixed to the deck.

Afterwards, Rhodes Island left Longmen and headed towards the capital of the Duke of Cosche. At this time, it was one month before winter, and Kazdale's winter came with heavy snowfall.

Baimaofeng, a kind of blizzard, the snowflakes are as big as pinnae, accompanied by the whistling cold wind, the pastures wither, and livestock will freeze to death if they lack warm hay, let alone people, when the pastures are yellow in autumn Cow dung and hay are used for heating.

Even in the city of South Kazdale, the number of poor people who freeze to death every year is not a small number, but in Xia Lin's agricultural production base, it is another picture.

The water flowing in the drainage canal dug in advance is gurgling, and the snow is shoveled into the snow melting furnace by manpower, turning into irrigation water at about 15 degrees, flowing into the drainage canal, and keeping the soil warm. The potatoes and beets in it are also growing very well.

"Dangdang~" The engineer from Longmen knocked on the iron pipe beside him, and the sound was transmitted to the distance along the metal. After hearing the knocking sound, the workers on the high tower in the distance turned the four purified source stone fuel rods into the furnace Inside, a bright flame soon burst out from the top pressure relief port, like a torch in winter.

High-temperature steam is sent into greenhouses, greenhouses, and residential areas along pressurized pipes. Although the wind and snow in Kazdale are stronger than those in Ursas, the temperature is not so low. Relatively speaking, the thermal furnace needed to keep warm The power is not very big.

"It's heating, it's heating!" The herdsmen and hired workers clustered around the maintenance site cheered, even those captives who were nobles before, even small nobles, in the weather of white hair wind You will also feel tremors.

The heat pipe buried in the interlayer of the house will slowly heat up the entire indoor environment. Although the power is not high and the heating temperature will not rise above the room temperature, it is enough to be gratifying in this winter.

The snow didn't last for too long. Snowfall in winter is one of the only opportunities for precipitation in the northern part of Kazdale, but the cold wind still hasn't stopped. The dry and cold wind is like a knife that will cut people's skin. If you don't cover your hands and face well, you will have a lot of chilblains and cracks when you come back from the house.

At this time, it is time for the herbal crops in the greenhouse dome to play a role. These are the herbs transplanted by Ursus, and the most useful one is the herbaceous plants that bloom small frost-white flowers." "Frost Star", its seeds can make antifreeze oil, which can effectively relieve pain and accelerate wound recovery when applied to frostbite affected areas.

In the greenhouse, by the lakeside of the oasis, densely packed small flowers are blooming all over the place. After half a month in the coldest season, they will start to set seeds, then wither and wither, and use their own broken branches and leaves to provide the seeds with nutrients and nutrients for spring development. keep warm.

At the same time, on the moon, "Huh~huh~" Johnny, wearing a heavy extravehicular protective suit, was advancing on the boundless white desert, leaving deep footprints one by one. The rhythmic beeping of the probe disturbed him a little.

There is very little ice on the moon of Terra, but the planting tank needs quite a lot of water. Although under the guidance of Lao Xia, he successfully built the greenhouse and most of the cabins, and even used the rich titanium-iron particles on the moon to use the honeycomb. Some furniture and tools were made, however water was still a huge problem.

Not only water, nitrogen and phosphorus are also problems, and almost only a little can be obtained by recycling the wreckage of the spacecraft. However, meteorites that fell on the moon may also bring substances such as ice, ammonia and phosphorus, and now he is looking for such substances. Godsend.

For modern industry, the amount of several hundred or tens of kilograms of mineral veins formed by meteorites is meaningless at all, but for just feeding one person, finding one such mineral veins formed by ice meteorites is enough Johnny has lived comfortably for more than ten years.

"Didi~Didi~" The sound of the buzzer changed, which made him immediately lift up his spirits and slide down towards the crater ahead.

"Carbon single substance meteorite? It's really rare." Carbon rarely forms single substance meteorites. The source of carbon is stellar helium flash and red giant star shell helium flash, which accounts for about 6% of the mass of the star and is thrown out. Generally, it is not easy to form single substance meteorites. , but in the form of dust.

The so-called interstellar dust is mainly graphite particles and ice particles composed of carbon, with a maximum diameter of only about 0.01 mm. As for the distribution density, generally speaking, even if a detector traverses the entire dust belt, it can capture the interstellar dust. The number of dust particles is double digits.

And if it is a high-density dust cluster, then it should have gathered to form a planet in the earlier star-making era. Most of the carbon contained in meteorites is a complex structure formed with other substances-of course, here refers to Small pieces of meteorites, if they are of the level of asteroids, have too many possibilities of carbon.

Johnny slid down to the bottom of the crater, and the moon dust had already covered the original impact products. He needed to dig out the thick layer of moon dust on the surface and the lunar soil below to find the single-carbon meteorite.

As far as his high school level of astrogeology is concerned, he thinks that it is most likely graphite or small pieces of diamonds produced by the impact of carbon-containing iron meteorites. Once again, diamonds are really worthless in the universe. Not worth the kind.

Soon, the floating dust on the surface was dug away, revealing the flaky, pitch-black material underneath, about slapped behind, with sharp edges and mica flake structure, reflecting a shiny luster under the light, "Huh? This is what?"

It doesn't look like soft graphite, and it doesn't look like a diamond. Is it some kind of heterogeneous carbon element ore?Could it be coal or charcoal?That fibrous structure is a bit like, finding natural coal and charcoal on the moon is so funny, so funny that Johnny could go back to his junior high school teacher and spray him in the blood.

"It's quite heavy~" Johnny pulled out the sheet with force. The sheet has a little curvature, the surface is smooth, and the weight is really heavy. "Huh?" Johnny found that there seemed to be some white things on one side , he brushed off the dust on it, revealing the well-preserved text under the vacuum, "Black Mole Class Mobile Factory Ship-O-65..." The text behind it was truncated by the fracture.

"Wait, this is the graphene outer armor, and the black mole class, why does it sound familiar to me?" Johnny took this armor plate and climbed up the impact crater, heading for the back of the moon, since the debris is here , then other fragments are also estimated to be distributed around.

Johnny walked on, across the shallow plain of Tranquility, up the dark, high hills behind him, and finally saw what he was looking for.

Under the crater, the wreckage of the giant beast lay silently in its circular tomb. The hull broke into more than ten knots, and the engine flew at least 200 kilometers away. look.

And it seems that the time of the crash has been very long, so long that the module emergency power supply of the spacecraft has been exhausted.

"Explorer... It seems that I have heard of this name somewhere." The text on the surface is composed of English, Chinese and French. This style is different from any Star Alliance spaceship in Johnny's impression. , whether it's shape, text, or style, it's a bit far from what the Star Alliance is now.

"Go back first, and contact Brother Xia Lin." Johnny didn't venture into it. Hulk ships have always been a big problem in space exploration. Don't look at it's emergency power supply is exhausted now, but it really accidentally touched something. If so, the danger is as great.

For example, reactor fuel that has lost maintenance or leaked, highly toxic and corrosive chemicals, and superfluid helium that can freeze him to near absolute coldness in a few seconds, etc.

Air pressure explosion is already the easiest cause and consequence of death when exploring and dismantling a hulk, but the cause of death if the pipe is accidentally ignited by a laser and still has flammable gas left behind. technical work.

[If you don’t believe me, you can try the new version of Ship Destroyer, it can almost be called: [-] ways to die for a smart person who doesn’t follow the safety manual. 】

"Black mole class..." When Lao Xia received the message from the moon, he was stunned. He also had a little impression, and it took a long time before he remembered, "That's not... ...The thing the president showed us last time?"

The black mole-class mobile factory ship, commonly used nickname: interstellar caravan, insulting title: stall ship, stall, the function is to provide necessary industrial products for colonies that have not yet been established or do not need to establish an industrial array because of too small a population.

Basically, he can produce common industrial products, and he can even do space construction work, build space stations, star ports (as long as you don't think he is too inefficient), or expand himself into a temporary space station on the route to provide Trail replenishment and maintenance.

The only question is: "This is an antique designed in 2053, why is it here?" An antique more than two centuries ago, a creation before a Star Wars war.

"2053? Isn't that...."

"Yes, the ship of the United Nations Space Exploration Alliance on Earth." At that time, the Star Alliance was just an alliance of major powers under the framework of the United Nations that aimed to monopolize the technology of starships, such as Shanghai Cooperation and Asia Cooperation.

"The spaceships in the era of human interstellar development have crashed for at least two centuries. Because there was no stargate technology at that time, especially branch stargates, so it was impossible to expect remote logistics to provide colony development materials. Therefore, this A black mole-class spaceship is designed as a mobile space factory to provide material support for the colony."

"That's it, which means that this wreck is useless." Johnny was very disappointed. He thought it was an active Star Alliance spacecraft, because he found that the communication array was intact from the outside, and it turned out to be a ship bigger than himself. Great-grandfather is still old antique.

In that era, there was no faster-than-light communication technology at all. The most powerful faster-than-light communication channel was to let a jumping unmanned spaceship fly back and forth with a hard disk array. This is embarrassing, isn't it?

"Not necessarily, old guys also have the benefits of old guys." Xia Lin doesn't think so, "If it's really a modern spaceship, we won't be able to use many things on it. On the contrary, old guys mean that this thing is equipped with ancient spaceships. Chemical rockets and nuclear rockets, although they fell badly, you can use things like posture and reserve materials.”

"Materials from two centuries ago, can they be useful?"

"At the very least, you can use it as raw materials, such as the carbon and nitrogen storage inside. If the damage to the cabin is not serious, there may be a pressurized cabin, and there is probably a little air and oxygen left."

"This... is true." The classic ship means that there is no modern high-quality circulation system and high-speed cross-galaxy navigation capabilities, so the materials on it must be compromised for space navigation, and a large amount of spare materials must be stored.

"If I want to go in and search, are there any precautions?"

"Yes, there are many things to pay attention to, but I don't know." Old Xia spread his hands, he really didn't know, "I know a little bit about the engine, because our president has taught us with the stuff, but the other parts. …In short, be careful."

"Now my confusion is that there was no stargate in that era, and it even only had an ancient low-speed jump engine that could go into the garbage dump. How did this thing appear here?"

"Maybe it hit a natural wormhole?" Johnny shrugged. "We are neither astronomers nor physicists. There is no point in discussing this issue, right?"

"Anyway, I'm ready to set off to explore. It's best to have ice in it." If there is no more ice, the water cycle of the ecological warehouse will be over. The two choices are self-evident. .

Chapter 73 Preparations

"Buzz" A fluorescent stick lit up after shaking a few times, illuminating the twisted and broken cabin passage, Johnny walked in the passage step by step, the broken metal around him, the twisted pipe above his head, can be seen everywhere The various text instructions of the website helped him a lot.

"I found it, the circulation cabin." Looking at the metal nameplate on the locked cabin door, the mechanical arm on Johnny's shoulder turned over, and the ion cutter at the end pulled out a crooked cutting seam on the cabin door with sparks and lightning. Come.

"Patter!" A fluorescent stick was thrown into the dark cabin, illuminating the huge container-like devices one after another, and a large life-sustaining cycle machine was lying on the ground.

The principle is to use electrolysis of water to obtain hydrogen and oxygen, and then use the carbon dioxide and hydrogen filtered out of the air through the nano-filtration membrane under high and low pressure differences to make methane, and then turn it into other organic substances step by step. This is the early starship cycle technology. part.

Consume water, a small amount of catalyst and a certain amount of energy to produce oxygen and starch to meet the most basic breathing and food needs of the spacecraft, while the huge vertical cylinders on both sides are water cycle machines that recycle the moisture in the air and the excrement of the members Recycled and reused, the entire system basically only needs to ensure the supply of hydrogen and water to maintain basic survival.
