Chapter 635 New Ship and Departure

Ma Wu and Austin were the first to arrive at Yinglong Shipyard.

Austin asked, blowing gum bubbles, "Boom! Captain, is this our new ship?"

"Explorer [-], one of the imitations of Predator, has a space jumping device." Ma Wu took off his sunglasses and replied.

The painting of Explorer [-] is different from that of Explorer [-]. Explorer [-] is painted in silver gray, while Explorer [-] is painted in black, which almost blends into the void background.

The hull of the Explorer [-] is in the shape of a double ship, just like two warships spliced ​​together. Although it is an imitation of the Predator, Yinglong Shipyard has made great improvements.

For example, adjustments such as dormitory areas and living areas. After all, the original Predator has a maximum passenger capacity of about 15 people, while the Explorer 4300 is only about [-] people when it is fully loaded.

So many places have to be adjusted.

Especially on the curvature engine, the maximum speed of the original curvature engine of Predator is only 31 times the speed of light, which is obviously out of date. Yinglong Shipyard directly replaced it with the PP-QL-16 curvature engine produced by Pengpai Power Company, which can reach a maximum speed of 132 times the speed of light.

With a space jumping device, why is it equipped with a curvature engine?
The reason for doing this is mainly just in case, when the Predator was brought to the Orion cantilever area by space turbulence, if there was no curvature engine, it would really be called "every day should not work, and the earth will not work".

In addition, the space jumping device has a manipulation time gap of more than ten seconds. In case of an emergency, it may be very passive. At this time, the curvature engine can be used for emergency.

Ma Wu received the acceptance documents from the person in charge of the shipyard nearby, and called Austin to board the spaceship for acceptance inspection.

The artificial gravity system makes the interior of the spacecraft feel like it is on the ground of Blue Star. Ma Wu carefully inspected every area and those important equipment.

"Captain, where are we going to explore this time?"

"The Sagittarius Cantilever, then the [-]KPC Cantilever, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Small Magellanic Cloud."

"Is the Sagittarius Cantilever?" Austin wrote it down, and she was going to check the astronomical database. After all, the data in this era is updated very quickly.

"I heard that you are studying cosmic dark matter?"

"Anyway, sailing will not affect learning. Distance education is now being carried out. People who go to adult universities are office workers. How can they have time to sign in at school every day?"

"My classmate is the governor of the dark dwarf galaxy. If you want to buy some dark matter samples, please let me know." Ma Wu said while activating the spare antimatter reactor.

"Then thank you, Captain, there is no problem with No. 6 reactor, and no problem with No. 8..."

Ma Wu quickly checked each option in the acceptance document, and sometimes wrote down some adjustments or revisions.

"The captain's classmate is Governor Liao Qingsong, right? You are the first graduates of the Astronaut Program of the United Universe University, you are all talented people!" Austin said with a smile.

"Haha, it's just me and the old horse who get along the worst."

Fang Haibo appeared behind the two of them.

"I thought you wouldn't come back, boy, go on." Ma Wu threw the acceptance documents over.

As soon as Fang Haibo raised his hand to receive the acceptance document firmly, he said a little embarrassedly: "I will just go to the Sagittarius Cantilever, and I plan to work in the alliance for a while."

"Why are you so embarrassed? I'm not someone who doesn't like it." Ma Wu patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

With the return of more and more crew members, under the joint inspection of all the crew members, it took three days to finally complete the acceptance of Explorer [-].

……

Ma Wu submitted the acceptance documents to Yinglong Shipyard, asking them to modify some of the equipment and settings of Explorer [-].

The person in charge Zhou Bolin suddenly said, "Do you need to install a set of dark matter stealth armor?"

"Dark matter stealth armor? What?" Ma Wu asked in surprise.

"It's a new product that is being tested. It can avoid the detection of most dark subwave radars, and it can also resist the erosion of dark matter and dark energy." Zhou Bolin explained.

"Experimental product? Is the technology safe?" Ma Wu asked suspiciously.

Zhou Bolin took out a document to Ma Wu: "This is the product manual of Neutron Star Material Company. The technology is very stable, but because it is the first generation product, there are loopholes in two frequency bands, and the cost is relatively high."

Ma Wu took a look at the quotation. It’s relatively high? Are you kidding me? Add dark matter stealth armor to Explorer 570, and the quotation is [-] billion.

Am I drifting away? Or are you taking me for a fool with a lot of money?
Ma Wu didn't even think about it, and handed the document back directly: "You guys should go and fool the Supreme Command! If I agree to this matter, the Space Exploration Department may throw me to a neutron star."

"Hehe... How about a [-]% discount?" Zhou Bolin smiled wryly.

"..." Ma Wu ran away without looking back.

The Explorer [-] spacecraft is going to explore the cantilever area and the large and small Magellanic Cloud galaxies, but not to fight. Why do you need dark matter stealth armor?
What's more, the price was too touching. If he agreed, the Department of Space Exploration would most likely not agree.

After a week of intensive revisions, Explorer [-] finally met Ma Wu's expectations, and all the crew members were in place.

On the aerospace pier of Yinglong Shipyard of South A Industrial Star, Explorer [-] slowly left the shipyard and headed for deep space.

"Report, it's already 20 units away from the nearest planet."

"Report, there are no spaceships within 15 units nearby."

"Report……"

Ma Wu pointed to the star map of the Milky Way, and chose the central area of ​​the Sagittarius Cantilever, an area where stars are relatively sparse: "Go to the Sagittarius Cantilever."

"Received." Fang Haibo entered the positioning coordinates on the space ball.

The space jump device of Explorer [-] released a strong gravitational force, and countless antimatter was annihilated in the reactor.

In the void about 30 kilometers away from the head of the spaceship, a black spot suddenly appeared, and then expanded rapidly.

Until the black spot turned into a pitch-black circular surface with a radius of 5 kilometers, Austin immediately pushed down the photon engine handle.

Immediately, Explorer No. [-] rushed straight into the pitch-black circle, and as Explorer No. [-] completely disappeared into the pitch-black circle, the jet-black circle shrank rapidly, and finally disappeared into the void.

On the side of the Orion cantilever is the Sagittarius cantilever.

At this time, a spaceship rushed out of the pitch-black circle and came to this strange starry sky. The spaceship was Explorer [-].

"The communication group starts the communication system, and tests whether the communication with the space communication center is normal?" Ma Wu ordered.

"Communication is normal."

"The radar group scans the range of 3000 light-years around and builds an astronomical database for Centaurus."

"receive."

Fang Haibo quickly set up three emergency jumping coordinates on the space ball to avoid panic in case of emergencies.

Austin turned off the photon engine, commanded the crew of the proton team, and quickly released the proton robots in all directions. This action was inherited from the Explorer II era.

The expedition work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and they are the external pioneers and explorers of the Alliance.

They will spend long years in the universe, keep company with the stars, race against time, and deal with unknown civilizations.
