"The spacecraft is entering the orbit of the third planet in the abetar III system!"
"The gravity control system is starting to start, counteracting Andromeda's own gravity!"
"Please all staff in place, resource star capture operation ready to start!"
As the broadcast spread throughout the ship, all the crew members flew to their posts.
Andromeda reached the Abeta III system 15 days ago.
After five days of intensive scanning, Tang finally determined that the third planet in the system would be captured by Andromeda and used as raw material for space stations and spacecraft.
The planet, which contains all kinds of precious metals, contains almost all the metals needed to build a spaceship.
Not only that, it is only one eighth of the earth's volume, but also very suitable for being towed into the space for decomposition and mining.
Since Tang woke up all the dormant crew three months ago, the whole ship has entered an emergency combat readiness state.
All the recovered crew members were immediately put into their respective posts and began to fully recover the production module of the spacecraft.
After determining the target, Andromeda made orbit changes for ten days until it maintained the same speed and orbit as the target resource star.
When the red warning light in the spacecraft lights up, Andromeda transfers the energy of the spacecraft's weapon system and propulsion system to the gravity control module.
Through the gravity control module, Andromeda's own gravity will be close to that of a battleship, and will not have any significant impact on the orbit of the target planet.
This is just the first step.
After the spacecraft moved to the rear of the planet's direction of operation, the spacecraft aimed the "blooming" stamen at the planet.
The 20000 kilometer long robotic arm extends from Andromeda directly to the surface of the resource star in front of it.
When these one kilometer diameter robotic arms fell, it was like a magnitude 10 earthquake on resource planet.
The planet's surface begins to crack under the impact of a falling robotic arm, just like a broken eggshell!
The violent vibration made the volcanoes in the planet very active, and a lot of magma gushed out from the craters and cracks in the ground.
These raging magma seems to be hot, but it doesn't do any harm to the robot arm on the ground.
"The structural integrity of the target resource star is 97.3%! Start inhaling! "
When the magma on the surface of the resource star began to cool down, the gravitational counteraction position toward the planet suddenly closed, which was half of the blue star's gravity, and the captured resource star took a big step backward.
As Andromeda's thrusters shut down, the planet begins to be pulled by gravity and flies toward Andromeda's interior.
At this time, the role of the robot arm is highlighted. The manipulator holding the planet controls the orbit and speed of the planet, so as not to let it hit Andromeda at a high speed.
With the combined efforts of gravity and robotic arm, the planet was swallowed by Andromeda like an egg in her mouth.
The protruding part is tightly wrapped in the robotic arm, which does not give the planet any chance to fly away.
At the same time, Andromeda, which has reactivated the gravitational counteraction position, lost its original gravity, and the resource star was fixed in its proper position, and it would not move closer to Andromeda.
At this time, Andromeda's thrusters were all shut down, all weapons were offline, and the life support system was running at minimum power.
All lights in the spacecraft were turned off, leaving only some emergency lights illuminated by batteries.
Sixty percent of the ship's energy is transferred to the laser directly in front of the spacecraft's reactor.
The laser drill that wrapped the spacecraft's reactor began to emit red light. The cylinder that Andromeda had pushed out of the bridge began to slowly close in, and the cylinder where the laser was located began to insert into the ground of the resource star.
When the beams of these laser drills converge in front of the cylinder to form a hemispherical shape, everything they touch is instantly melted into a gas state!
At the same time, the collector located behind and around the drill bit will absorb all the gaseous minerals, which will be refined into various mineral classifications and condensed into solid state in the refining area of the spacecraft.
The whole planet is directly inserted into the core of the planet by this "drill bit"!
All the places where the drill bit passed were vaporized and disappeared instantly by high temperature, and the warehouse of the spacecraft began to be filled with various raw materials.
At the same time, behind the spacecraft, a large number of useless stones were made into squares and discharged into space.
These rocks are the "waste" of useless materials in the planet, which are not needed for the construction of space stations and spaceships, so they are discharged into space as garbage.
When the drill bit reaches the limit, the whole resource star has been dug out a pit with a diameter of 1000 km and a depth of 5000 km. At the end of the pit is the core which still emits red light!
"The efficiency of resource exploitation is 83.11%, and the material warehouse has been fully loaded. Stop mining!"When the ship's material warehouse was filled, the drill bit began to shut down and cool down.
Of course, this resource star will not be wasted in this way. It will wait until the material warehouse is free again to continue mining.
A large number of materials obtained from the resource exploitation satellite were sent to the spacecraft's industrial area for processing.
Cruisers and destroyers began to take shape in the Andromeda docks.
With abundant materials, only the number of docks can constrain the speed of warship construction.
Originally, Andromeda's mission was to explore Andromeda rather than build a spaceship. Therefore, only six shipyards of three middle schools and nine small docks were prepared for the whole spacecraft.
Three of the medium docks can only build cruisers, while small docks can only build destroyers.
According to the present situation, it may take many years to build a fleet.
At this time, the space station building module on the spacecraft was used.
Through the assembly line to produce the modular cabin required for the space station, a space station with a capacity of 1000 people will take only one day to complete.
It only takes 15 days to build a medium-sized dock!
On average, you can have two medium-sized docks or a large space station for 30000 people in a month!
"All our resources are now focused on the construction of docks and warships. In just one month, we will have the first exploration fleet of three cruisers and six destroyers and five medium docks."
"According to your plan, the first fleet will go to the nearest planetary system to search for zerg tracks."
"In the next month, we will have a second fleet of five cruisers and six destroyers!"
"With the increase of docks, the number of fleets we can organize is increasing every month!" In the Andromeda bridge, Tang San and others are sitting together with Tang Shizhe to study their future development plans.
