Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

"Disagreement, our definition of space mining is based on space floating objects such as asteroids and meteorites, such as Omega. Planetary mining is an exclusive term and exclusive equipment, which cannot be completed through orbital operations. You are secretly changing the concept!"

The Salary people raised objections, because in their view, this is indeed a subterfuge of the concept, and there is active duty to cheat the loan, because the cost of ground mining is higher, and the construction cost and cycle of various sites are also very long, which means It means that the loan repayment cycle and profit statement originally based on space mining operations are inappropriate, and there are obviously suspicions of falsified statements.

"Tsk, first officer, tell the two of them to shut up on the bridge and watch honestly!" The bridge of the new star is very beautiful, different from the silly and thick appearance, with holographic projections everywhere and a spacious and tidy hall. Knowing that I thought it was some kind of leisure facility, not a battleship bridge.

[You can go to the Ishimura that was repaired by the 2nd generation. Really, the interior decoration of the spaceship bridge is the most beautiful one, which is similar to the lobby of a luxury hotel]

Camera systems at all levels connect the surrounding optical images, and the three-story bridge with elevators is enough for everyone to observe the surrounding conditions, as well as the planets below.

"Engineering department calibrated and ready to start mining operations"

"Okay, let me see how you collect planetary minerals in orbit, puff? Earthlings, we reserve the right to pursue your falsified reports."

"Start work, we only dig a spoonful!"

"Follow the captain, the first set of support frames is deployed!" The brackets fixing the six sets of gravity locks are slowly unfolded, "The second set of brackets is deployed, complete!" Then the second set of brackets is deployed, two sets of four brackets, each are three gravity lock generators.

"The stagnation force field is turned on, and the gravity is locked!" It is used to fix one's position in the space-time flow pattern. The theoretical principle, Xiao Xiao asked the engineers on the entire dead space space station, but no one knew what was going on.

But they know how to use and make this kind of device, thanks to the capitalists headed by CEC and MFA, no one can even understand the principle of this kind of tool - if you search the world, you should be able to find it, but she doesn't have that Free time.

"The stagnation state is formed, and the space-time coordinates are locked!" At this time, the spacecraft has been locked with the surrounding space-time structure, and will not be pulled towards the planet due to the reaction force, and all the reaction force will be dispatched into the void. During power operation, the surrounding space-time field will produce slight distortion.

To use a popular analogy, the spaceship is like a grain of rice stuck to a spider web, and the force that can be applied to the grain of rice will act on this spider web, causing the entire spider web to be pulled and deformed.

It’s just that compared to the tension of the space-time flow pattern of the universe itself, the force produced by the mass of a planet is not enough to pull this huge and strong network, unless it is going to pull up a star of the magnitude of a star.

"Drop!" Twelve mining beacon towers crashed into the surface of the planet, followed by a gravity lock.

"What are you doing? Launch the mining excavator, and then use the tractor to collect the ore?" The Salary engineer was at a loss. This is the closest idea to the truth, and the next story is..

"Boom!" The rock was forcibly broken by the gravitational force, and the dust was drawn into the gravitational beam, turning into a layer of gray-yellow rope, and climbed onto the spaceship along the invisible gravitational beam. Compressed into dense blocks and thrown into the refining system for processing.

"Well, the first batch of uranium ore has been separated."

"So fast? You are collecting sand and dust. I have to say that your traction technology is very advanced, but the cost is too high. With the current processing speed and dust content o..." Sailari engineer stopped talking, Because the red molten salt waterfall visible to the naked eye has outlined a landmass the size of Australia.

Literally, a part of the planet was cut, and the huge energy tide provided by the antimatter furnace and the vacuum extraction furnace easily shattered the resistance of the rock, and the planet was deforming and cracking, like a bulging sore, golden red The magma quickly spread across half of the planet like a bloodshot.

Various departments in the bridge of the spaceship are working skillfully and indifferently. For them, this kind of scenery is nothing to see. Anyway, it will take at least one or two months to see this huge thing before it can be cleaned up and changed. into a new ring for the planet.

"We have approved your loan, when will the contract be signed!" Different from Sara Rui's shock and shock, he wanted to ask whether this destructive mining violated the God's Citadel Convention, and the Waller observers directly pulled him away. Excitedly asked when the contract could be signed.

Nonsense, regardless of whether it violates the agreement or not, this mining ability and star breaking ability prove that they can really pay back the money. Some planetary mining companies hire them to crush ore and pull ore. After all, the cost of planetary surface mining stations is too high.

As long as these people can break the planet into small pieces so that they can work in space, they will definitely shell out a lot of money, and what are bank loans for?It is for borrowing umbrellas on sunny days. Naturally, at such a time, it is necessary to ask Xiaoxiao to borrow money at the first time.

"Look again, ore crushing!" All the AGS artillery had aimed at the huge ore platform pulled up, and then the kinetic energy impact cannon blasted it into several pieces, which were pulled around the spaceship by various traction cables, and each fragment was A stagnation force field is fixed, and then it can be further fragmented and cut to collect.As for those fragments, they will be handed over to the AGS artillery defense system.

ADS anti-meteorite artillery, the left is 152mm and the right is 40mm Gatling version, dealing with small debris.

[Figure: AGS automatic gun]

The 50-inch caliber plasma automatic cannon, the gun mount can hold a small spaceship, and the shells need a large elevator to transport them. It is a genuine anti-planet artillery.

It can be docked in the new star hangar. It is equipped with 120 rounds of anti-ship missiles. This is the one that is ready to weld a shell and use it as a cruiser. It can also carry four carrier-based fighter jets.

Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Humans in Dead Space have a very smooth process when it comes to blasting rocks. Those plasma cannons and gravitational wire cutters are used for this. It took about a week to tear away from the massive rock the sections rich in uranium and other radioactive ores detected by prospecting scanners.

After being cut, crushed, filtered, refined, and cast, they finally turned into refined uranium ore cakes in lead-sealed boxes, which were piled up in the original hangar.Then these fragmented stones, the parts with too low content to waste time and space processing, were thrown on the track.

And inexplicably lost a small piece of the planet shaking violently and exploding. The Waller detection station and the automatic mining stations of other races, which were still working on it, all sank into the star body amidst violent geological changes.

A triangular cone-shaped crack that goes directly to the mantle and even the core has completely destroyed the gravitational balance of the star itself. If it is not backfilled, it will split itself bit by bit in the next tens of thousands of years, and it will be affected by the gravitational force of the star, the centrifugal force of rotation and the force of gravity. Due to the gravitational interference of other stars, it slowly spreads out into a new asteroid belt on its own orbit.

And in units of hundreds of millions of years, these fragments will further break up, cool down and finally become the real asteroid belt—of course, there is also a possibility that the dispersion rate during fragmentation is not low, and finally aggregate into new stars.

Very and particularly spectacular and...wasteful, 95% of the minerals are discarded and wasted, because the new star is not an Ishimura class, not a professional mining industrial ship, it is impossible to clip every piece of ore back for processing, only processing Even so, they collected enough "rich ore blocks" that were easy to handle at one time to build two Dreadnoughts

Ship's radioactive minerals.

"Really, amazing, huh? People on Earth, we agreed to your loan request in principle, but I want to know where the technology and construction of this ship come from, and whether you can build more of this o ...a mining ship?"

The trade between the Waller people and humans is very close. The standard weapons of the Star Alliance are all produced by the Waller Military Factory. Therefore, they are very curious about how these technologies and powerful traction devices come from.

Don’t get me wrong, this is not about exploring the secrets and origins of technology, but about evaluating human beings’ ability to expand production and repayment ability. After all, the small loan is in the name of “expanding production” and “adding new ships”, although the bank thinks it can make money , But the astronomical figure of these billions of coins is impossible without the supervision of the use of funds or the management of whereabouts.

"Yes, but it requires a shipyard and a lot of resources. Moreover, we need money to buy the star map and the ownership of the mineral planet." Xiaoxiao gave such a reason, and the Waller banker approved it. They Do think these miners need a lot of money to buy ownership.

The mining area bought by other people is just an area of ​​a planet. A planet with mines will be divided into N prospecting areas. The Normandy used to do this kind of mining detectors, calibrate the mining areas, and then sell them to make extra money.

And this group of people probably has to buy the mining rights of an entire planet at once, because the planet that they dug up a spoonful of can probably no longer be used rationally.

"Ahem, interrupt me, Captain, we have discovered abnormal gravitational and thermal energy pulses, something is coming, we have to go!" Net cutter! "The Reapers have small-scale patrols here. Of course, under normal circumstances, they will not find it. However, this does not mean that a planet has been dismantled into a small piece of huge thermal energy and gravitational signals. They cannot see it.

This week's time is enough for these things to pass out of the edge of the galaxy and be darkened

The reapers wandering in the space received it and quickly came to block people by traveling at sub-light speed or even super-light speed. [Considering that Normandy can only fly at sub-light speed in the galaxy, in fact, Shepard and the earth have resisted for a long time, at least several years, or even more than ten years]

"Let's go, wait, don't we have free mines? Leave some for them!"

"Kong Lei, you can't... woo woo woo!" Engineer Sara Rui was dragged away by his colleagues, "You don't need to pay attention to his stupid words!"

Although why the mine ships have empty mines, and the huge problems and crises caused by the deployment of empty mines to the waterway are issues that the Citadel is very concerned about and even a headache, but now a large group of harvesters are chasing after them. 3 At this time, we still consider these rigid What's the difference between thinking outside the box and looking for death.

5 light! "The side hatch of the new star slid open, and the brackets in the containment cabin popped out. These metal structures like bookshelves were full of fruits, and then these ripe fruits slid down the brackets, and quickly fell under the weight of gravity. Stabilize yourself in the environment.

There are traces of liquid nitrogen on their surface, and they are cooled to almost only 2K background thermal energy temperature mode, which is enough to evade the common thermal radar and light radar scanning in Mass Effect.

These melons and fruits with a diameter of more than 30 meters will release powerful kinetic energy shock waves and ion shock waves when they are detonated. At the same time, the highly dense neutron-like materials constrained by the stagnation force field will also explode, and the sharp dense material fragments will be like clouds. Like a group, it covers a spherical space of hundreds of kilometers, and each piece is enough to penetrate the strongest spaceship armor.

To put it bluntly, if you don’t activate the stasis shield, the new star will blow up half of the bow of the ship if you eat two shots at most. However, it is the basic strategy of the dead space spacecraft to activate the stagnation shield first when entering the minefield. Therefore, the actual In fact, even a frigate like Glion or even a smaller gunboat can take five shots in a row and make an emergency landing without any damage.

So much so that when actually laying mines, there are dozens or hundreds of mines at a time.

—Clusters piled up in an airspace, hoping to do basic damage instead of listening to stasis shields.

As long as the shield breaks down or the duration of the shield expires, no matter what level of conventional warship it is, one will be taken away. Well, this refers to the loss of combat ability. In fact, considering damage control, [-]% of the time The warship can continue to fly and even make an emergency landing.

"The impact point engine starts, we are ready to run!" Pretending to be using a repeater, in fact, it has nothing to do with the repeater's super-light flight mode, the powerful gravitational beam directly chiseled a shock wormhole in the normal space-time continuum , Then drill holes and run away without stopping for a moment.

When the four cruiser-class reapers entered the galaxy, they just faced a star with a big hole in it in a daze and at a loss, and they circled the planet not knowing what to do under the contradiction of their own programs.

The Reapers only harvest "qualified" civilizations. In other words, they are protecting intelligent races by killing targets and making eternal specimens. Then, the Reapers will not bombard with star-destroying weapons and weapons of mass destruction The ground—as if the old farmer would never use a few tons of refined salt to weed the ground. O

They want to preserve the basis for the development of civilization and biological populations again, without destroying the planet and ecology, then the problem comes, now they see a broken planet, and it is obviously impossible to repair the irreparable state.

These artificial mentally retarded people began to fall into a kind of logical confusion, circling the star like headless flies, constantly proposing and denying one maintenance plan after another.

Then, one of them hit a cluster of "ripe" fruits in the pile of rubble, and the first air mine exploded. The ion shock wave and fragments were firmly blocked by the energy barrier, while the advanced armor technology blocked it. Kinetic energy shock waves or gravitational tides are torn apart, but internal parts and many fragile parts are still severely damaged.

Not to mention the mass effect core, which is most vulnerable to gravitational damage, almost extinguished

It was on fire, but fortunately the distance was far enough and its own singularity stabilizer was activated, using the inertial damping field of mass effect to balance the impact.

However, the mines were placed one cluster at a time, and more empty mines were deployed without any hindrance, and equipped with a reaper who was eager to repair the interior and balance the gravitational field. In the end, this unlucky machine was just like these big fruits... …overripe.

Red-hot metal, broken structures, and fragmented equipment floating in a pile of rocks, it looks more like the Reapers had a close contact with the planet, and the feeling of being killed by the moving planet on the orbit, if If it wasn't for the rule that the wound was too large and too huge for the size of the reaper.

Afterwards, the Reapers sent more individuals in to recover the wreckage, and several of them were killed by mine strikes. In such a crisis, a considerable number of Reapers were gathered in the Shrike Abyss for recovery and minesweeping work. It is to reduce some danger and pressure for other galactic theaters.

God's Castle, after successfully catching General Touareg, the Touareg agreed to provide some assistance to humans, but not much. At the same time, the Touareg councilor also said that their strength was stretched and they needed the help of the Krogan race.

And Chief Lex’s opinion or request on this is-to release the gene phagocytosis, the mistress of Salari insists on opposing it, and the Asari think that Tian Ke’s punishment and restraint are not worth a race’s millennium the price.

No matter what the krogan have done before, they should not have to bear this kind of punishment for "possible danger". Besides, turning over old accounts is generally felt by the Earth Star Federation to be too much.

Did krogan do something outrageous to be attacked by this genetic virus?The answer is: no.

They were fostered as the vanguard against the Rakhni, and when the threat of the Rakhni Zerg was suppressed, it became clear that the overexpanded Krogan military empire became a new threat.

Thinking that these races whose home planets were destroyed in an unlimited nuclear war are not qualified to join the Citadel, so the Salaris proposed that this threat should be suppressed, and the Touaregs used the gene phagocytosis virus and The achievements of the krogan became the third council race.

To put it simply, for an unwarranted "future threat", they successfully beat a civilized race back to the primitive era, and used genetic weapons to make them unable to give birth to healthy offspring, and the population gradually shrank and faded—considering that the krogan is for the safety and security of the galaxy The Raikkoni fought in the style of a Yankee—the veterans were under the tanks

Therefore, the request of the Krogan is very reasonable now, to remove the genetic virus, and then they will talk about fighting for the galaxy. For the same reason last time, what they got was not a reward, nor did they become a member of the parliamentary race. Instead, they were almost wiped out by the gene bomb. This time, it is not so easy to ask them to donate their blood and lives.

In the voting at the scene, humans and Touaregs voted in favor, Asari abstained, and Selari opposed, and the meeting broke up unhappy.

And the councilors who just came back from the meeting heard two unbelievable news, a ghost intelligence network from the Citadel, the Waller people and a mysterious human force signed a 30-year 15 billion star coin The loan, to be honest, the amount is not too big, the level of a large interstellar multinational company, but the important thing is that the other party is a force that has never been heard of.

The second is the report from the engineers of Salary, saying that this human force used the banned weapons and weapons of mass destruction of the parliament, and they destroyed a planet and everything on it. This accusation is a bit serious, especially Humans have only joined the parliament for a few years.

This is like accusing one of the five permanent members of the United Nations of deploying a nuclear bomb in a neutral zone—just kidding, who the hell doesn’t know they have a nuclear bomb—but it’s a bit sad when this matter comes to the surface.

Because human beings will definitely deny it, and will even prevent any investigation. As long as any investigation proposal against this force is discussed in the parliament, the Star Federation will definitely vote against it without thinking, abusing its veto power.

And we also need to breathe a sigh of relief from the fierce battlefield. After all, the Touareg Empire, which is almost all Touaregs in the resistance line, may also be a member of the brainless opposition. No matter who the so-called "United Mining Company" is, they can tear The violence of shattering stars and the ability to mine huge amounts of ore to ease economic pressure are what these two council races demand.

Even the Asari will vote against it on the basis that the other party may mine those zero-element minerals that were considered difficult to mine and worthless in the past, because among the four parliamentary races, except for Salary, no one is safe. Except for the Renhe colony being attacked by the Reapers, the other three were all nailed to the front line, making a mountain of casualty reports every day.

Therefore, in the Council of God's Castle, only Salary is still insisting on defending the past rules and political structure regardless of reality, and even continues to play that set of balance theory. Even Asari, who is good at playing this Byzantine conspiracy The race is now under siege by the Reapers in Sercia, and now it is a bit unscrupulous.

[In the game, it is true that only Salary’s home planet and sphere of influence have not been attacked by the Reapers on a large scale. It is possible that their upper layers have all been educated, so the Reapers are not in a hurry to act, so, in all favorable Among the decisions in the Milky Way, Salary was the only one who voted against it, desperately holding back.On various issues including the krogan, there is still a feeling that the Reapers are nothing but a lie, a hoax, an illusion created by everyone to destroy the order of the galaxy and the leadership of the councilO]

Chapter 130 Two

The loan of 5000 million star coins arrived quickly, and at the same time, the investigations launched by the parliament also came quickly. The four parliamentary races had four investigation methods. The Touaregs used ghost agents, and the Salaris not only used some ghosts who were loyal to themselves Agents also used the Salari Special Service Squadron.

Azali and Starlink are relatively gentle. Azali made a formal meeting request through Elia, while Starlink simply investigated the company's registration information, and found that in Starlink, this is the investigation. There is no such person's status, so a meeting request is made through Shepard.

At other times, the Star Alliance is not so easy to talk about, but at the moment, they need every power to support the earth, so they will appear relatively gentle, while the Touareg simply has no energy to meet, and they need to deal with a big problem. A lot of shit, after all, they are all on the front line of resistance now.

At the same time, Xiaoxiao also bought all kinds of slow-moving industrial products and production equipment, as well as heavy engineering equipment on the market, successfully raising the price by 5%, and inducing local panic buying.

Not only that, but she also bought a large amount of planetary exploration and ore refining processing equipment. The price of these equipments has fallen rapidly. Now who is willing to invest in planetary development? Reapers are everywhere, and the space trade routes are about to be interrupted.

"This is the firearm of the locals. It feels much easier to use than ours." The pulse rifle in Dead Space is really hard to explain. It is only effective for humans and light-protected humans. It is not as good as the ion cutter. However, here is Mass Effect Light weapons are much better.

"The Raptor combat rifle is really good." With the technology of the Touareg people, they want to produce a powerful assault rifle, and finally get a high-precision and powerful precision rifle.
