Chapter 676 (1/2)
”No matter where this is, we'll take care of the safety of the ecosystem before we think about anything else!” Tang San patted the captain on the shoulder.
The captain nodded quickly and lifted the armrest of his command seat.
There is a button under the armrest on both sides of the command post. The two buttons must be pressed by two persons with permission on the spaceship to start the Andromeda mining mode at the same time.
On this ship, there are only eight people with this authority, namely, the captain and three chief officers of Galaxy heavy industry and the four main leaders of Titan group.
After looking at each other, Tang San and the captain put their hands on the button.
With the vibration of the ground, the lights in the bridge turned red and yellow alternately flashing.
A holographic projection of Andromeda appeared in the middle of the bridge.
The Andromeda spacecraft began to appear under the four cracks, the whole spacecraft began to slowly open down.
At the same time, the power source and spherical reactor of the spacecraft began to rise above the spacecraft under the lifting of the top cylinder, and the bridge continued to rise as if it had been squeezed out of the spacecraft. After leaving Andromeda, the structure supporting the bridge expanded around, making a small hollow sphere appear on the top of Andromeda.
By this time, the four sections of the spacecraft had been firmly protected by metal barriers, isolating the ecosystems in these zones from the vacuum of the universe.
In the interior of the spacecraft, in addition to the red emitting reactor core and the laser collectors and a large number of equipment connected to its surface, there are 12 mechanical claws with a diameter of 20000 km, which is twice the diameter of Andromeda spacecraft.
It is said that claws are not suitable. They are more suitable to be described by tentacles.
These tentacles connected by a large number of mechanical mechanisms are one kilometer thick!
Originally, these tentacles were coiled around the core of the spacecraft as a protective layer, but when the spacecraft was deployed, they became Andromeda's grappling hooks for other planets.
”The launch is over! The speed has been reduced to 81 percent of the speed of light! The estimated time to reach the star ahead is six months! ”
”You stay on the bridge, mate Liu will be the temporary captain, and the others will follow me!” The captain led several of the crew round to the bridge gate.
Tang San followed, and they had to repair area a before the ecosystem collapsed.
After a group of people boarded the high-speed train used for moving in the spaceship, Tang San and his many splitters activated their own powered armor helmets.
Titan group's foreign contact agreement explicitly forbids the use of strong colonization armor by any member of the alien system exploration! No one is sure if there are creatures in the new galaxy that can infect this biological armor, so all Titan members use Titan's own powered armor.
The captain and others on the side were not affected at all, and their artificial shell had gathered all the functions of power armor. There was no need to add more armor. This can also be regarded as one of the advantages of small size.
When the train moved forward for half an hour, the emergency brake was applied, and a collapsed load-bearing column in front of the train destroyed the suspension track in front of it.
Fortunately, they are not far away from the nearest hatch in area A. they can be there within ten minutes' walk.
Along the way, through the corridor blocked by collapsed and distorted walls, Tang San and others came to a huge metal door 500 meters high.
