My Clone Empire

"The spaceship is entering the orbit of the third planet in the Abeta III planetary system!"

"The gravity control system is starting to counteract Andromeda's own gravity!"

"All staff please be in place, the resource star capture operation is ready to start!"

As the broadcast spread throughout the spaceship, all crew members rushed to their respective posts.

Fifteen days ago, the Andromeda had reached the Abeta III planetary system.

After five days of detailed scanning, Tang Shizhe finally determined that the third planet in this planetary system will be captured by Andromeda and turned into raw materials for building space stations and spacecraft.

This planet of precious metals contains almost all the metals needed for spacecraft construction.

Not only that, it is only one-eighth of the volume of the earth and is very suitable for being dragged into a star mining cavity for decomposition and mining.

Since Tang Shizhe woke up all the dormant crew members three months ago, the entire spaceship has entered a state of emergency combat readiness.

All the waking crew members were put into their respective positions immediately, and began to restore the production module of the spaceship with all their strength.

After determining the target, Andromeda spent ten days changing its orbit until it maintained the same speed and orbit as the target resource star.

When the red warning light inside the spacecraft came on, Andromeda diverted power from the spacecraft's weapons and propulsion systems to the Gravity Control Module.

Through the gravity control module, Andromeda's own gravity will be close to that of a battleship, without any huge impact on the orbit of the target planet.

This is just the first step.

After the spacecraft traveled to the rear of the planet's rotation direction, the spacecraft aimed the "blooming" "stamen" at the planet.

The 20,000-kilometer-long robotic arm stretched out from the Andromeda and directly stuck to the surface of the resource star in front of it.

When these mechanical arms with a diameter of one kilometer fell, it was as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred on the resource star.

The surface of the planet began to crack under the impact of the falling mechanical arm, just like a broken eggshell!

The violent vibrations made the volcanoes in the planet extremely active,

Large amounts of magma spewed from the crater and fissures in the ground.

The raging magma seemed hot, but it did not cause any harm to the mechanical arm pressed 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 gradually, the gravitational offset position facing the planet suddenly closed, and the gravity comparable to half of the blue star instantly made the caught resource star retreat a lot. step.

With Andromeda's thrusters turned off, the planet began to be pulled by gravity toward Andromeda's interior.

At this time, the role of the mechanical arm is revealed. The mechanical arm that grabs the planet controls the flight orbit and flight speed of the planet, preventing it from hitting the Andromeda at too high a speed.

With the joint efforts of gravity and the robotic arm, the planet was swallowed by Andromeda like an egg stuffed into its mouth.

The protruding part was tightly wrapped by the mechanical arm, preventing the planet from flying away.

At the same time, the Andromeda, which has restarted its gravitational offset position, lost its original gravitational force, and the resource star was fixed at a suitable position and no longer moved closer to Andromeda.

At this time, all the thrusters of the Andromeda were turned off, all the weapons were offline, and the life support system also entered the lowest power operation.

All the lights in the spacecraft were also turned off, and only some emergency lights were left for battery lighting.

Sixty percent of the energy of the entire spacecraft is transferred to the laser located directly in front of the reactor of the spacecraft.

The laser drill wrapping the spacecraft's reactor began to emit red light, and the cylinder that Andromeda originally pushed out of the bridge began to slowly retract inward, and the cylinder where the laser was located began to be inserted into the ground of the resource star.

When the beams of these laser drills gathered in front of the cylinder to form a hemisphere, everything they touched was instantly melted into a gaseous state!

At the same time, the collectors located behind and around the drill bit will suck up all these gaseous minerals, and in the refining area of ​​the spacecraft, they will be refined into various types of minerals and condensed into solids.

The entire planet was inserted directly into the core of the planet by this "drill bit"!

The place the drill bit passed was instantly vaporized and disappeared by the high temperature, and various raw material cubes began to pile up in the spaceship's warehouse.

At the same time, at the rear of the spacecraft, a large number of useless stones were made into cubes and discharged into space.

These rocks are "waste" composed of useless materials in the planet. Because the construction of space stations and spacecraft does not need these wastes, they are excreted into space as garbage.

When the drill bit advanced to the limit, the entire resource star has been dug out a deep pit with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers and a depth of 5,000 kilometers. At the end of the deep pit is the earth's core that still emits red light!

"The resource extraction efficiency is 83.11%, the material warehouse is full, stop mining!"

When the spaceship's material warehouse was full, the drill bit began to be gradually shut down to cool down.

Of course, this resource star will not be wasted like this, it will wait until the material warehouse is free again before continuing to mine.

A large amount of materials obtained by mining resource stars were sent to the industrial area of ​​the spacecraft for processing.

Cruisers and destroyers began to take shape in the dock of the Andromeda spacecraft.

With abundant materials, only the number of shipyards constrains the speed of spaceship construction and warships.

Originally, the mission of Andromeda was to explore Andromeda rather than build a spacecraft. Therefore, only three, six, and nine docks were prepared on the entire spacecraft.

Three of the medium dockyards can only build cruisers, while the small dockyards can only build destroyers.

According to the current dock, it may take many years to build a fleet.

At this time, the space station building module on the spacecraft is used.

Through the assembly line to produce the modular cabins required by the space station, it only takes one day to build a space station capable of accommodating 1,000 people.

And it only takes fifteen days to build a medium-sized dock!

On average, you can have two medium-sized docks or a large space station that can accommodate 30,000 people in one month!

"All our current resources are concentrated on the construction of docks and warships. In just one month, we will have the first exploration fleet consisting of three cruisers and six destroyers and five medium-sized docks."

"According to your plan, the first fleet will go to the nearest planetary system to explore, so as to find traces of the Zerg."

"In the second month, we can 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!" Inside the Andromeda Bridge, Tang San and others are sitting with Tang Shizhe to study the future development plan.
