Chapter 190 Naming

However, the number is a bit small.

It should be because the functions of the "Iron Slave" mining boat and the mining barge overlap.

Carrying twenty "Iron Slave" mining boats is just for emergencies.

Compared with only twenty "Iron Slave" mining boats, the number of slave miners is much larger.

A mining barge can carry 1,000 "slave" miners.

Not only that, the mining barge is also equipped with a large number of laser mining cannons.

There are a total of sixty-four, scattered on the upper and lower decks of the ship.

There is also a large laser mining cannon on the bow, which can effectively smash super-large asteroids.

This type of laser mining cannon is a weak version of laser weapons.

The principle is the same as the laser rifle in the hands of the Star Army, an enlarged version of the laser weapon,

low power, short range, sustainability, although the close-range power is good, but there is no ability to fight the enemy at a long distance.

It can be used to fight the enemy, but the ability to fight the enemy is weak.

There is nothing much to say about transport ships and engineering ships.

The transport ship is just an empty shell, with almost no unnecessary equipment removed, and the space of the warehouse is increased as much as possible.

The weapons are not completely removed, and some close-in automatic guns are retained.

The engineering ship is an industrial ship with a small factory on it.

Metal refining and forging can be carried out on the engineering ship.

It can carry 500 "slave" engineering machines.

What is the name?

Li Meng looked thoughtful, and his face was full of contemplation.

It's better not to be too casual.

After all, these three new ships will probably be used for a long time in the future.

Decades, hundreds of years are few.

You have to give them a name that is very suitable for their industrial type.

After thinking about it, Li Meng gave up.

He really has no talent for naming, so the headache is left to his subordinates.

Thinking of this, Li Meng said: "The ship was designed by the Mechanicus, so let the Mechanicus name it."

Things like this are trivial, and he doesn't need to participate.

After speaking, Li Meng looked at Odysseus.

"Set sail immediately after returning, and leave the S-01888 star system as soon as possible. Let the industrial ship take care of the resources."

Ark No. 1 is very slow, very slow.

It will take at least several months to leave the S-01888 star system.

This is not a complete departure, but only reaching the edge of the star system.

After all, the radiation range of a star system is still very large.

Although the speed of Ark No. 1 can reach one-third of the speed of light through continuous acceleration.

But this process is extremely long, and it will take several years or even more than ten years.

Is one-third of the speed of light fast?

Of course it is fast, but not fast enough.

In the old empire, many ships did not carry subspace engines and could not travel long distances for trade.

Trade between star systems and star systems completely relies on sublight speed engines.

Through continuous acceleration, the maximum speed of most ships in the empire can reach seven-tenths of the speed of light, or even higher.

Even so, the time spent on voyages for trade between star systems will take several years or even decades.

Not to mention inter-stellar trade, some people spend their entire lives on ships.

Some ships have even been in service for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

We have seen off batches of old people and welcomed batches of new people.

Odysseus bowed his head slightly and replied, "Yes!"

Li Meng looked at Donald again.

"The Temple and the Space-Time Gate must also accompany Ark One. Donald, the Mechanicus will be responsible for this matter."

After several years of construction, the Temple is still not completed.

The progress is about 40%.

After all, it is a big guy, and its history is destined to be very long, so it can't be rushed.

In order to build the Temple, the tin gold mines in the entire star ring were almost mined out.

At present, the reserves of tin gold in the star ring are very low and can no longer be seen everywhere.

It is no longer like before, where you can see tin gold mines everywhere.

You can extract tin gold from any asteroid you capture.

Now it is no longer possible. The "Iron Slave" mining boat must scan and explore in the star ring to find the tin gold mine.

This is also the reason why Li Meng is eager to move to the S-01919 star system.

Only the rich mineral deposits in the S-01919 star system can support the construction of the Temple.

Turning around, Li Meng came to the glass wall.

He looked at the Temple and the Space-Time Gate in the distant starry sky.

The Temple is inconspicuous, dark in color, and blends into the dark starry sky.

If you don't look carefully, it's hard to see clearly.

The Space-Time Gate is different. The existence of the light curtain makes it emit a milky white glow.

From a distance, you can see a bright but not dazzling light curtain.

Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng said: "Go, just do your own thing, the difficulties are only temporary, this hurdle will always be overcome."

Odysseus, Donald bowed slightly and saluted the Sky Eagle.

He took a few steps back and then turned and left.

In the long corridor outside the door, Odysseus quickened his pace to catch up with Donald.

"Great Sage Donald, has anything happened recently?"

Otherwise, how could the "king" let him drive Ark No. 1 to the dark star field.

Donald did not stop and continued to move forward.

A mechanical, hoarse voice sounded from the hood.

"Governor Odysseus, you should not ask me, you should ask your wife, she knows more about what you want to know than me."

Hearing this, Odysseus touched his nose.

He dared not, if he really asked, he would inevitably be blamed.

He was just curious about the recent situation of the New Empire, but he would not cause trouble for himself.

In the long corridor, the figures of the two gradually disappeared.

"King, you have been running around these past few months, so you should take a few days off."

Irina said softly as she came to Li Meng's side.

Li Meng looked back at Mrs. Irina beside him, and remained silent, then looked back at the starry sky outside.

He was a man who could stay idle. If possible, he didn't want to go anywhere.

He would not get tired of staying on the Far Journey for hundreds or thousands of years.

If possible, he could even return to the emperor's side, close his eyes, and wake up again after a thousand or ten thousand years.

But could he do that?

Of course not, the future of the new empire was in his hands.

He couldn't be idle, couldn't stay in this gentle place, at least not now.

"There will always be a time to be idle..."

After saying something incomprehensible.

The space in front of Li Meng suddenly twisted.

The space seemed to be torn apart, turning into a hideous purple-red vortex.

Li Meng stepped forward and stepped into it.

In front of Madam Irina, Irene, and Ellie, Li Meng disappeared into the vortex.

As Li Meng disappeared, the subspace cracks also quickly collapsed and disappeared.
