Chapter 12 Transformation
After seeing the three options displayed on the panel.
Chen Ming finally understood that the appearance of this [Transformation] option was indeed related to the book he had read before.
These three options were all in the book called "Spacecraft Modification Manual" that Chen Ming had read.
[Advanced Lens], [Energy Focusing Ring], and [Frequency Oscillation] all had examples recorded in the book, and Chen Ming happened to see them and remembered them in his mind, and finally became one of the transformation options.
These three transformation options are the same as repairs. You only need to prepare the materials and click the transformation button, and the panel will automatically complete all subsequent work.
And the actual effect of these transformations.
Chen Ming remembered that [Frequency Oscillation] was a transformation of the launcher of the mining laser, which could expand the size of the laser beam and slightly enhance the mining efficiency of the mining laser.
[Energy Focusing Ring] modified the laser restrainer next to the launcher.
It limits the energy dissipated during laser emission, while slightly enhancing the laser intensity, saving power consumption when the laser is activated.
Saving a little bit each time may not be noticeable, but it will add up to a lot, and it will be very valuable when Chen Ming may not be able to get fuel supply for a long time.
As for [Advanced Lens], Chen Ming remembered that it was a modification of the laser lens, the core component of the mining laser.
It can greatly enhance the range and intensity of the mining laser.
If he wants to collect this sky blue ore, a higher laser intensity is definitely indispensable.
But the materials required for the modification made Chen Ming want to give up when he looked at it.
Those ordinary metal materials are nothing, but there is one thing that Chen Ming can't get at all now.
A complete high-intensity laser lens.
At present, Chen Ming knows that there are two places with high-intensity laser lenses, the human world half a light year away, and the mining space station right in front of him.
"Are you kidding?"
The location where the high-intensity laser lens and other components are stored on the space station must be in the storage area next to the mining area. Going there is no different from seeking death.
Wait a minute.
Chen Ming suddenly remembered that the dock of the space station often had to undertake the task of repairing spacecraft, so there seemed to be a small warehouse nearby to store some parts and materials that might be used to repair spacecraft.
There might be the lens he needed in this small warehouse.
From this point of view, it seems that it is not impossible to try to get it.
Chen Ming looked at the time on the terminal. It was seven o'clock in the evening.
If the speed is fast enough, it should be enough to get it before the break time.
Do you want to try?
It has been a day and a half since I left the space station, and the Zerg should be quiet.
And this transformation that requires high-intensity laser lenses is not only effective for the dark blue ore.
It also plays a very important role in Chen Ming's future mineral collection. Higher laser intensity means faster mining efficiency.
Chen Ming weighed the pros and cons in his mind and finally decided to go.
As for this, there is still no way to mine the ore for the time being.
Chen Ming plans to use a traction device to drag it back to the space station directly.
Because the overall volume of this deep blue ore is about half a person, but its shape is very irregular.
So that its narrowest part is much wider than the hatch of the spacecraft, and it can't be stuffed into the spacecraft at all.
The mining laser is not strong enough to cut it.
If it is left here, it may not be found next time, so this method can only be used to drag it back first.
After thinking about what to do, Chen Ming's actions became faster.
Soon he returned to the vicinity of the space station with the ore.
However, Chen Ming did not keep a distance from the space station as before, but continued to fly to the living area where he woke up in the space station.
Chen Ming remembered that when he just woke up, he saw many holes and damages on the buildings here.
It is the same now.
Even through these damages and holes, Chen Ming can see the bugs inside the living area that seem to be attracted by the movement of the spacecraft.
If the method of sneaking in that he thought of before is to be implemented, it seems that there is a problem.
Chen Ming did not consider what to do now if the previous method failed, and went to the space station where the bugs had become active again to obtain high-intensity laser lenses, nor did he care about the bugs.
Instead, he looked around and found a gap of suitable size, and then he stuck the dark blue ore towed by the spacecraft into it.
As long as the space station is still there, the ore is still there, and there is no need to worry about not being able to find it later.
After getting the ore, Chen Ming turned the bow and looked at the bugs that were already huddled together in the corridor of the living area exposed to the outside due to the damage of the building.
Then, the two machine guns on both sides of the spacecraft opened fire.
The pouring bullets smashed all the bugs exposed in the machine gun's firing range before gradually shutting down.
Seeing their bodies being quickly eaten by the insects that came again, Chen Ming couldn't help but think of how he looked when he was being hunted two days ago.
Chen Ming smiled and fired more than 200 bullets at the insects again, shooting the second batch of insects into pieces.
Seeing that there were more insects approaching from the distance of the space station, Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh at the exaggeration of the number of insects. He didn't stay any longer and controlled the spacecraft to move away from the space station.
The spacecraft didn't stop until the camera on the ship could no longer see the space station.
But then, Chen Ming turned around, made a big turn, and flew to the other side of the space station.
Chen Ming took the initiative to shoot at the insects just now. In addition to revenge, he actually had another idea.
That is to attract the insects in other parts of the space station to the vicinity of the living area.
Because the dock he was about to go to next happened to be opposite to the living area, distributed at both ends of the space station.
If the insects gathered in the living area, it would be safer for him to go to the dock to find things.
The plan that I had originally thought of, sneaking in without alerting the bugs, taking the things and leaving, failed the moment the spaceship was discovered by the bugs as soon as it approached the space station.
So Chen Ming simply came up with an idea and chose to use the bugs' keen perception to attract them from all corners of the space station.
As for whether this temporary method was effective...
The spaceship soon approached the space station again.
This time, none of the bugs that had been attracted to the living area found Chen Ming's trace.
It seems that my idea is still very useful.
Chen Ming put on his protective clothing and did not let the spaceship approach the dock directly, but stayed at a certain distance from the space station.
After confirming again and again that there were no bugs or other strange movements at his target location.
Chen Ming opened the hatch, stepped on the edge of the hatch, and jumped towards the direction of the space station.
