The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2 This mothership is not right!

2. Something is wrong with this mothership!
The hatch opened, and the green indicator lights lit up in the white corridor, pointing out the elevator to the bridge for Tang Xiao.The nurse at the door lowered her head and ran back to the medical cabin to clean up.

[The manager has woken up, please pay attention to the work arrangements for the staff of each unit... The manager has woken up...] In the corridor, the broadcast from the mastermind continued to echo.

However, the whole place still looked empty. Tang Xiao walked for a long time before he saw two soldiers in black uniforms at the elevator door.

Seeing Tang Xiao approaching, the two soldiers stood at attention and gave a very standard military salute, "Hello, manager!"

Tang Xiao was a little uncomfortable, but still nodded in return.Seeing his response, the two soldiers raised their well-developed pectoral muscles even higher.

After riding the elevator that felt like it should be long, he came to a very spacious hall. There were two soldiers at the door. They had a resolute look, and when they saw Tang Xiao coming, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

In the center of the hall is a huge holographic projection star map, but most of the star map is completely dark, and nothing can be seen.

There are many seats and consoles around. It seems that if this place is to start operating, at least hundreds of people need to work together at the same time, but now there are only a dozen people working in the hall.

"Salute!" Everyone present stood up in unison and saluted Tang Xiao, "Hello, manager!"

Tang Xiao was a little uncomfortable with this, but nodded, looking out through the huge panoramic observation window, and a green planet came into view.Unlike the azure earth, this planet has only a lot of green vegetation, so the whole looks green.

On the periphery of the planet, white atmospheric clouds are clearly visible, showing the planet's good atmospheric environment.

But the most conspicuous thing is not this planet, but an extremely huge planet behind it. Compared with the giant planet, this asteroid is like a mouse standing at the foot of an elephant.

The pale blue sphere looked smooth and clean, with only a few dull cyclones, like bouncy balls played as a child—obviously a gas giant.

"This is the habitable planet we found now?" Tang Xiao asked.

[Yes, manager. ] The central holographic projection immediately switched to a star system, and the main brain explained: [The current star system is a stable binary star system with two stars that are constantly rotating around a common center point.There is only one planet in the star system, this gas giant planet with a diameter of 48951 kilometers. 】

[In addition, this gas giant is surrounded by 9 moons, and we are next to one of them.There is also a satellite with a suitable climate, but the ocean coverage on it is more than 95%, which is not suitable for colonization under the current conditions. 】

"Nine satellites orbiting a gas giant planet?" Tang Xiao frowned, thinking in his memory, "Well, that means we can only colonize this asteroid, right? Then at least first Tell me how things are now."

A 25- or 6-year-old young man in a dark blue military uniform stood up at the round table next to him. He saluted Tang Xiao and said, "First of all, we need to replenish conventional fuel, which contains a large amount of gas in the atmosphere of this gas giant planet. It can be used as the energy source for fusion reactors of various spacecraft. Therefore, a mining station needs to be built near the giant planet. There are modular semi-finished products in the warehouse of the mother ship, and some small engineering spacecraft are kept in the hangar to complete the assembly work. , but these ships need to be piloted."

"So I need to wake up these drivers?"

"Yes, after you woke up from hibernation, the mastermind awakened a total of 50 of us to prepare for you in advance. Among them, 10 marines, 5 civilians, 5 staff officers, 5 correspondents, 5 maintenance personnel and 10 mothership operators, in addition to 10 medical staff to ensure our health status at all times. Your authorization is now required to wake up more people.”

"Very good, what's your name?" Tang Xiao asked when he saw that this person was speaking in a prudent manner.

"My name is Qi Jian! I'm a member of the staff!" Qi Jian answered loudly with his chest raised.

"Flagship, this name is good, very good. If there is no corresponding position, you will be our temporary chief of staff from now on." Tang Xiao said.

He also probably understood some things, and now what he needs to do is to establish a team first.It is impossible for him to understand everything by himself, but as long as someone below understands it, then it is fine.

Sure enough, after being appointed by Tang Xiao, Qi Jian suddenly became excited, and he answered loudly: "Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

"Okay, let me see the situation of our hibernating crew." At the prompt of the master, Tang Xiao sat down on the highest seat in the center of the bridge, and immediately unfolded a huge holographic screen in front of him.

The people listed on the screen for awakening include 60 residents and 5 crew members, all of whom specialize in different fields.In the current situation, it is obvious that people among the 5 crew members should be selected to wake up. These people are more familiar with the work on the mothership.

These personnel were also divided into different levels, including ordinary, elite, and master. After that, there were three levels full of question marks.The conditions that need to be met to wake up these people are also different.

For example, master-level talents are basically masters who have reached the pinnacle in their respective fields. If you want to wake up such people to face the poor and white colonies that don’t even have tents, it is like letting doctors move bricks later.

Therefore, under these talents, the conditions that need to be met to wake them up are marked, and most of these conditions are the conditions they put forward before entering freezing hibernation, and they are determined after signing the contract with the mothership.

Tang Xiao was curious to see what the master-level people were. He clicked on one of them and found that this was a master-level astrophysicist. His requirements were a three-story villa, a private swimming pool, and the most advanced laboratory and a super radio observatory built on a plateau at least 3000 meters above sea level.

Click on another one. This is a master of quantum mechanics. He needs a laboratory in a dust-free environment, the most advanced experimental equipment, a particle collider that is at least 50 kilometers long, and two more than 20 years old. A beautiful woman as a private secretary and a velvet bed no less than 5 meters in diameter?
nani?Brother you are wrong!

There are also some normal requirements. For example, the requirements of a master sociologist are very simple, not asking for food or clothing, as long as the colony population exceeds 1000 million...

……

…………

This demand is even more outrageous, okay bastard(╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻!!

Tang Xiao decisively closed the interface of the master-level characters. This time, he didn't even watch the elite level. He has nothing now. Even if he wakes up those people, it is estimated that they will directly pick them up, or they will die for you to see.

This is actually the truth. In fact, in the early stage, ordinary people can do well, such as workers, and at most some elite people are needed to take the lead.

However, it is still necessary to wake up a master-level character with harsh conditions. For example, you wake up a master-level physicist while the colony is still under construction. There are no sophisticated instruments and laboratories. Why should he come?Go to school to teach physics?The problem is that you don't even have a school now!

Most of these master-level characters are 5 or 60 years old. It takes one year less than one year to let them come out ahead of time to follow the development of the early colony and waste time?
Therefore, it is not without reason that these people signed such conditions and contracts before falling asleep.

Relatively speaking, there are no conditions for ordinary people to wake up, just open it and see, basically they have food, shelter, and work.Only a small number of people ask that the work environment requires members of the opposite sex, or that they want to be able to eat noodles and other small conditions.

Before authorizing the awakening, Tang Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Master, is it only me who can authorize the awakening of the crew? And these people are all working for me?"

[Yes, you are the owner of the highest authority of the mothership.All the crew and residents are also chosen by you, and they will also offer their loyalty to you. 】

Tang Xiao nodded silently. He quickly found the engineering department in the ordinary crew, and then chose to wake up 10 teams of 10 people, responsible for controlling an engineering spaceship, and then woke up two 2-member teams. Logistics maintenance staff.Then after the captains were appointed respectively, a small leadership team was established.

After getting started, Tang Xiao also quickly entered the role. The main brain said before that the learning he received in his sleep might be just that. This kind of small-scale work assignment is still very simple.He also woke up 20 people at the Ministry of Agriculture to take care of the hydroponics cabins in the mothership, because after checking, he found that many of the crops in the hydroponic cabins had withered.

No wonder the master told him that the supplies had bottomed out and that the ship didn't know what happened, maybe a disaster?
After finishing the most urgently needed work, Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with Erlang's legs crossed: "Master, let me introduce the basic situation of this mothership."

【OK. 】

The holographic projection in the center shows the panorama of the mothership, and then the main brain continues to explain: [The civilization of this ship is unknown, the manufacturer is unknown, the specification is a civilian colonial mothership, only the minimum armament and armor, the current highest authority Owner, administrator Tang Xiao. 】

[Technical parameters: the total height is 41.37km, the longest part is 10.92km, and the total weight is 3730.79 billion tons.Armament: 5 mass projectors, and a point defense system containing 377 small electromagnetic rapid-fire guns.total capacity……】

When the main brain explained it clearly, Tang Xiao didn't care about it at all.Because he was stunned by the holographic projection of the huge spaceship that appeared in front of him!

This is a giant spaceship that looks like a crescent moon or a banana. The overall design is very simple and aesthetic. There is a gap in the upper middle position. There are a lot of portholes here, and there is the bridge.

What Tang Xiao was shocked was not this super-giant ship, the size of which was directly equivalent to the distance from the imperial capital to Langfang, but because... he knew this ship!

""Homeland"!! Kushen's mothership!!" Tang Xiao's face changed greatly, and he cried out.

"Homeland: Song of Kushen", the famous game Tang Xiao has certainly played, is equivalent to an epoch-making game that created a new era of space real-time strategy games.Not only that, this game is also known for its grand plot. Tang Xiao, who was still in elementary school at that time, was deeply fascinated by this game.

But now, this can be said to be the iconic ship in the entire "Homeland" world - the Kushen mothership, is actually the one that he took over? !

This is not right!Why do things in the game become reality?Also, if even the mothership in "Homeland" appeared in reality, wouldn't that mean...

That dream might be real! ?
