Their skin, frightened eyes and tall bodies are clearly visible.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Vickers said: "this is the picture captured by the transport boat. This race is humanoid. It is more than three meters tall and has blue skin. Like a zebra, it has white stripes. Its face is not much different from that of human beings, except that its ears are smaller, its nose is lower and its facial features are sharper. They should wear animal skin, This shows that their civilization is quite backward. Bows and arrows are their most powerful weapons. For us, they are not a big threat. Of course, the bows and arrows in their hands are very powerful. If there are a large number of people, we can't compete with them. "

Although there were 100000 people on the colonial ship, most of them were civilians. Although there was no shortage of veterans, the armament of the colonial ship was limited. In the armory, there were only 1000 Gauss rifles. Although the ammunition and parts were enough, 1000 Gauss rifles could not cope with a war.

The ammunition used for warship weapons and transport boats are extremely limited. There is no production line for manufacturing weapons in colonial ships. In the final analysis, this is just a colonial ship. The armed forces are only for self-protection, not aggression.

A colonial ship alone cannot conquer a planet with intelligent races.

Although there is not much interest in conquering trisomy, Vickers will not refuse if necessary.

As a soldier, Wilkes would certainly choose to stand in the interests of the Empire between the interests of the Empire and the unfamiliar wisdom race.

The expansion of the universe is cruel, only surrender and destruction.

After five years at Imperial military academy, Vickers knew how to deal with the situation.

Speaking of this, Vickers said: "first, make some surveys on the trimaran, and then build a settlement in the no man's land. Now we can't cope with a war, so we try to contact them. If we can make peace, it's good. If we can't, we can only use force, although we can't conquer the planet, But it's no problem to occupy a place... "

As the words fell, Vickers said to rose, "Miss Rose, you must be tired too. Go to have a rest. Next time I leave, I hope you will lead the team. After all, those with ability are more powerful than us ordinary people. You are indispensable."

Rose did not refuse, said: "there is a travel plan to tell me, we have the ability to board the ship naturally has its own obligations, the responsibility we will not refuse."

Said, rose then turned to leave, graceful delicate body deftly floated out of the main control room.

Rose left, Vickers sitting alone in the captain's seat, lost in thought, looking at the body in front of the picture is very preoccupied.

The main control room is still very quiet. Since all the ships of the black flag empire are controlled by AI, the crew is much less equipped. There are only three posts in the huge main control room, all of which are of monitoring type and do not need any control.

Take the Imperial Star class destroyer for example, there are many crew members. The standard configuration is 500 people, including 300 technicians, 100 guards and 50 guard pilots. The rest are officers at all levels, but there are no operators in the main control room, only the vice captain, chief of staff and some unnecessary secondary officers.

It can be said that the black flag empire is very good at the use of intelligent AI. The control of a ship is basically completely handed over to the AI, and the personnel are only responsible for equipment maintenance and ship body protection.

Of course, AI is just a supplement. It just simplifies the control of the ship. Some human control units are removed. The owner of a ship is not AI, but the captain.

"No.1, how long can the materials carried by the colonial ship last if they are based on 5000 people?"

The low light on the console is flashing, from which a mechanical sound rings.

"Grain reserves are 50 years, water resources can be used for 20 years through internal circulation, and life support system can run for 68 years with existing raw materials..."

Quite a lot

Although some water resources are less, it is not difficult to obtain them in the universe. Just beside the trisomy, the exhausted planet has a halo formed by ice blocks, from which enough water resources can be obtained.

With a thoughtful look on his face, Vickers said, "pick out a wake-up list immediately. It's mainly veterans and technicians. The number of people... One thousand, one thousand people will be enough."

At present, the colonial ships can't be self-sufficient. They consume a little, but there is no channel to replenish them.

If there are too many people, materials will be consumed more quickly. The current situation is not clear, so we must go step by step and not be too radical.

When a thousand people were awakened, the colonial ship, which was originally empty, suddenly became lively.

Unexpectedly, no one cares about the voyage of 69 years. On the contrary, those who wake up are looking at the trisomy outside.

It's not surprising that people who are able to get on board are either taking care of their families, or they have no relatives on earth and spent 69 years in the freezer, which has no effect on them.

Because in the freezer, their age is fixed, sixty-nine years is long, but it's just a sleep for them.

Although the first exploration project encountered obstacles, it did not make Vickers flinch.

Only three days later, we started the second exploration project. This time, we sent out two transport boats at one time.

In orbit, the huge Explorer-1 colonial ship quietly stops and floats. From the harbor-1, two transport boats leave one after the other and fly to the surface of the planet.

One of them followed the track and flew far away, while the other went straight down, and soon turned into a fire and disappeared into the atmosphere.

The sea of clouds is vast, boundless, magnificent and vast

On the clouds, the transport boat was flying rapidly, like a small black spot moving in the whole cloud sea.

"Miss Rose, we are heading towards the direction of our last flight. There are the mountains below. Where are we going this time?"

While controlling the transport boat, Talon inquired to rose in the cockpit.

Last time, I couldn't go to that small island in the lake. It was too dangerous.

This time, their mission is to survey minerals and see if the tin mines on the planet are as they think. There is no need to get close to the forest

Think of this, rose said: "drop the height of it, in the canyon to find a flat place to land."

"Sit down..."

As soon as the words fell, Talon controlled the transport boat to plunge into the clouds and quickly approach the ground.
