Chapter 15 The 'Luxury Dream' of Scavengers

"Zi~~"

Amidst the low sound of the motor, the mining truck rushed to the highest point of the hillside.

'Click~click~'

The car door opened, Lin Yuan, Zheng Wan, and Kitten jumped out of the car one after another.

The three of them stood on the top of the slope, looking back at the ruins of the large spaceship in the distance together.

The straight-line distance is 5 kilometers, and the height difference is 300 meters. You can look down all the way.

The first thing I entered was the fat blue man who occupied half of the sky in the sky. Under the deep blue sky was the dark and deep barren world.

The air flow is slightly surging, blowing wisps of smoke and dust on the pale hillside, which is the only vitality in this world.

At the end of the line of sight is the ruins of the large spaceship, which has now shrunk into a steel-gray skyline.

It is a ray of light projected by human civilization on the desolate star, and even if it is only the afterglow, it is also a source of warmth that makes people yearn for.

"Can you win?" Zheng Wan asked.

"I don't know. But the only way to survive is to die."

Lin Yuan turned around and walked towards the back of the mining truck, and took down a box of unopened sealing tape: "Let's do it."

Up to 1200 Ratheads, with a maximum attack distance of 5 kilometers.

Both the number of opponents and the range of the attack have increased by an order of magnitude, which is far beyond the response limit of the current weapon system.

So it must be modified, substantially modified!

For the specific modification plan, Lin Yuan already had a plan in mind.

Zheng Wan also came to help unload the goods, and soon became the main unloading force.

After a while, all the materials needed for the modification were ready.

"What do I need to do?" Zheng Wan asked.

Lin Yuan had already thought about it.

"There are many opponents, and the laser array needs sufficient energy supply. You transfer the super capacitor of the mining vehicle to the weapon array. No problem?"

The supercapacitor was brought by the Gorefiend team. There is only one. It is either used for the mining vehicle or the laser array. You can only choose one of the two.

"It's not difficult. But it's too risky to give up the vehicle's maneuverability?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

In this case, Zheng Wan got under the mining truck and began to remove the wiring and connect the supercapacitor.

Lin Yuan climbed onto the mining carriage again, and beckoned at the kitten again.

"Come and be my assistant, I will be busy next time."

"Okay, Uncle Lin."

Half a minute later, Lin Yuan removed the cover panel of the mining vehicle's central control, exposing the photoelectric integrated circuit underneath.

After a few glances, he stretched out his hand to unplug all the line connectors, and explained at the same time.

"I will upgrade the 'critical strike' capability of the Thunderbolt system, which requires fast and accurate image recognition technology. The mining vehicle has an automatic driving system, and its image recognition module just meets the demand."

The previous lightning system used ordinary laser radar, which can only lock individuals, but cannot guarantee the hit position, so electromagnetic waves must be used to supplement the knife afterwards.

This greatly reduces the attack efficiency.

This shortcoming can be avoided if every hit can be a direct headshot.

"Well~" The kitten half understood.

However, Zheng Wan raised a question: "Precise strikes require very high computing power. Surely a personal brain can't do it?"

"It does. But I have a solution."

After the upgraded weapon system, the personal brain can't support it at all, and it will crash as soon as it is fired.But this time, Lin Yuan didn't intend to hand over the computing task to this unreliable classic computer.

Now that he said that, Zheng Wan has no doubts.

The previous experience was enough for her to fully trust Lin Yuan's technology.

The next time, the three of them began to get busy.

Although the principle is simple, the details are extremely cumbersome, and the modification takes a long time.

For Lin Yuan, he hoped that he had already calculated a whole set of modification details, and the rest was just physical work, almost a fool's operation.

After working for a while, he felt a little bored.

Fortunately, there are three people in the team now, so they can chat to relieve boredom.

"Zheng Wan, why did you leave Aoki?"

"I want to find my sister, and the work of Aoki Group is too unfree."

"Looking for a younger sister? Isn't it convenient to find someone these days?"

Spend a month's salary to find a hacker who can turn out the full set of genetic sequences of people up to ten generations.

"The situation is a bit special. My sister is dead, but her consciousness is trapped in the sea of ​​stars. She has sent me messages for help many times. In short, no matter what, I must find her!"

Zheng Wan's voice was very low, but it contained infinite determination.

"Xinghai. Are you talking about the virtual universe on the Star Network?"

"Correct."

"Oh~ this is not an easy task."

The star network of Nanli Country is built on the interstellar light quantum network, which is an inseparable part of every normal Nanli person.

In Nanli's life, at least two-thirds of his waking time is spent in the virtual universe.People work, live and entertain in the virtual world, but they turn a blind eye to the real starry sky.

Theoretically speaking, the virtual universe can indeed carry human consciousness, but the probability of this is very, very low.

Lin Yuan felt that it was more like someone was playing a prank, but he hadn't investigated it, so he couldn't talk nonsense.

"As long as I live, I will never give up and not talk about me. Kitten, tell me about you. Did your adoptive father tell you why you were abandoned in space?"

Zheng Wan brought the topic to the kitten.

The kitten nodded: "My father said that he found me in space near a passenger spacecraft. He said that I was only two or three days old at the time, and I was placed in a small life-support cabin."

"Well~~ Then what are your plans for the future?"

The kitten shook his head blankly: "I don't know."

"Have no dreams at all?"

"Dream. There is one. I want to. Take a sip of clear water. It's like the kind in TV dramas. It's in a beautiful glass cup. It's very clear and transparent, just like crystal water."

As she spoke, she subconsciously shook her head, and smiled timidly: "I'm just curious about the taste of clear water, it doesn't matter if I drink it or not."

Zheng Wan immediately said: "As long as the spaceship is repaired, we can drink clean water. Right, Lin Yuan?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes. Not only can we drink clean water, but when we earn enough money, we will send you to the school in Space City to study with your peers!"

In his opinion, the kitten should not take risks with them.

"The school in the space city? Is it like the school in the TV series?" The kitten's tone was a little dreamy, as if he didn't dare to imagine, but there was a longing that was hard to hide.

Zheng Wan was shocked: "Lin Yuan, you don't really plan to send the kitten to school, do you?"

She didn't object, but it was not easy, very difficult.

For the scavengers, it may not be possible to achieve it with all their efforts, and the scavengers' all-out efforts are synonymous with fighting with their lives.

She always felt that she was too soft-hearted, but she didn't expect that Lin Yuan, who seemed plain, hid such a hot heart.

The kitten was already awake, she shook her head again and again: "No, no, as long as I can follow my uncle and aunt, I won't go to school."

The arduous life of space drifting has worn away Kitty's innocence and self-willedness. She can't accurately appreciate the difficulty of "going to school", but she also knows that this is a very, very distant dream, infinitely close to impossible.

Since it is impossible, it should not be extravagant.

Lin Yuan chuckled and didn't say much.

Zheng Wan thought he had given up, so she didn't say anything about it.

Afterwards, the three chatted while working.From time to time, Lin Yuan would give some basic photoelectric knowledge to the kitten, and the kitten also focused on learning.

Time flies very quickly, and more than eight hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

The kitten yawned again and again, and unconsciously began to doze off.

The little girl is sleepy.

Lin Yuan pointed to the back seat: "Go and rest if you're sleepy."

"No, no, I'm not sleepy."

Even so, he couldn't help but yawned again.

Lin Yuan immediately emphasized his tone: "Go to sleep immediately!"

The kitten didn't dare to make a sound, and immediately went to lie down obediently in the back seat.Within a minute of lying down, she fell into a deep sleep.

The little girl is less than 12 years old. Children in the space city, at this age, stay in a warm and comfortable school carefree.

In fact, Lin Yuan was also very tired. It took nearly 18 hours from space to the ground, and he didn't relax for almost a moment.The original organs of this body are really unable to support it.

But no one will sympathize with the scavengers, and the glory of the interstellar civilization cannot shine on the scavengers.

As a scavenger, what you can rely on is yourself, and the reliable companions you harvested in the difficult years.

Zheng Wan sighed lightly: "Little cat, hey~"

In fact, she also wants her children to live a better life, but unfortunately her ability is really limited.

Lin Yuan blinked his dry eyes vigorously, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, it will get better soon."

As long as he wins this battle, he will be able to obtain enough supplies to repair the spaceship.And as long as they have spaceships, their quality of life will be greatly improved.

Raising his hand and knocking on his head hard, Lin Yuan tried his best to keep his mind clear, and carefully soldered a photon quantum chip the size of a thumb to a new optical circuit board.

After being busy for a while, Zheng Wan suddenly said: "Lin Yuan, I remember you haven't slept for seventeen or eight hours, right? Can you hold on?"

"It's not a big problem. I'll just take a nap in the car after I fix it later. You haven't slept for a long time, so take a rest later. I modified the early warning system in the mining truck, so I don't have to worry about being attacked .”

"Okay. After this busy period is over, take a good rest."

After about 6 more hours, the modification of the weapon system was finally completed, and the next function was tested, which turned out to be a success.

"Whoo~~~"

Lin Yuan let out a long breath. He was already dizzy from exhaustion, and he had double images when he saw things.Zheng Wan hadn't closed her eyes for many days, and she couldn't bear it now.

Both of them returned to the carriage and lay down on the seats to rest.

Zheng Wan just closed her eyes and rested her mind, waking up as soon as there was any movement.

But Lin Yuan couldn't do it. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a dark sleep and fell asleep completely.

I don't know how long I slept this time, fell asleep, felt someone pushing him, Zheng Wan's voice came from next to my ear: "Wake up, wake up, Linglong sent us a signal."

Lin Yuan was refreshed, opened his eyes immediately, checked the time, and found that he had slept for 5 hours.

He patted his heavy head vigorously, and thought to himself: "We must quickly find a way to refit the brain with a powerful waste metabolism system, otherwise we will sleep too often."

When he was fully awake, he asked, "What's going on now?"

"Linglong said in the communication that she has attracted a large wave of rat-headed monsters. The number is much more than expected, there are more than 700. No problem?"

Lin Yuan made a quick estimate in his mind, and nodded: "It's okay, the system can handle it completely."

Turning his head to look at the back seat, he found that the kitten was curled up, still sleeping soundly.

In that case, let her sleep peacefully.

Looking up again, Zheng Wan was also looking at the kitten.

The two looked at each other through the light-filtering mask, and Zheng Wan said softly, "I haven't taken off my spacesuit for ten years. After the spaceship is repaired, I want to take a shower."

Showering is a daily routine for space city residents.But for scavengers, it is quite a luxury.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Okay, let me find a way for you."

Vaguely, he saw that Zheng Wan seemed to be smiling, very happy.

"Then, prepare to fight!"

Lin Yuan picked up his personal brain, opened the lightning control software, and with a single click, a [-]D holographic image of five kilometers near the mining vehicle appeared on the top of the screen.

Due to the limitation of computing power, the image clarity is average, and the resolution is about 1 cm, which is enough to meet the needs of "critical strike".

He smiled in his heart: "Let me play a shooting game."

For high-speed and accurate image recognition, whether it is the main control brain of the mining vehicle or the personal brain, the computing power is far from enough. The only one with enough computing power is the hope brain in Lin Yuan's consciousness.

This is his greatest reliance.

　I wish book friends a happy new year and a smooth sailing in the new year.
