"Captain, we have chosen the skills we want to learn."
Back in the dormitory, the three players stood obediently and reported the skills they wanted to learn to Chu Hang.
"Each of you learns two?"
Chu Hang looked at their choices and nodded with relief, "Not bad."
They didn't hoard Military Merit but used it to improve their own strength, which was undoubtedly the most beneficial action for Chu Hang. The stronger the players, the more tasks he could assign them, and the more energy he could save to focus on ship repairs.
Little Black was the first to notice the strangeness above his head. Shocked, he almost threw Qǐ Kěxiū, whom he was holding, away.
He first went to the armory and took all the ammunition.
Perhaps it was just a rendered texture map...
As everything was still the same, he heaved a sigh of relief, unloaded his spoils, and moved them into the ship's cargo hold.
Even to increase Chu Hang's favorability, he would actively do a better job.
He said, while his consciousness operated the system, syncing the mission content to all the players. The players instantly gained great motivation and gradually became accustomed to it.
Chu Hang surveyed the small, dilapidated ship.
Under the clear blue sky, at the edge of the distant mountain peaks, a gradually narrowing arc – a "Sky Ladder" – suddenly rose. Continuing upwards along the Sky Ladder, to the central position overhead, hung a dazzling sun.
Turning to look back, the scene behind was similarly symmetrical.
Entrusting the transport mission to the players,
The rampant sandstorm temporarily ceased, and the rare clear sky caused a surprising change in the scenery above everyone's heads.
They chased Chu Hang with many questions.{" If they didn't rest, their bodies would be ruined, which would be a loss.
Big Head chose firearms and information technology. He was a mediocre hacker on Blue Star, so he felt that the hacker path would have a great future and was worth trying.
Chu Hang's voice drifted over leisurely as he turned his head, showing a suitably nostalgic expression to everyone.
After all, Chu Hang's speech this time was explosive with information, no less than the opening remarks when they first entered the game, filled with the allure of seductive foxes, drawing people in.
After all, there was atmosphere, gravity, and changes in climate and day-night cycles... To think that after 4 days in the game, the Stardust development team had brought them such a surprise.
Then he took his tools to the highest point of the outpost and dismantled the entire communication antenna set, making it easier to communicate with the Grayrock Clan's base in the future.
Chu Hang continued to read his lines.
Chu Hang had originally intended to introduce the game's background but ended up giving a speech and making promises.
Looking at the small, dilapidated ship he hadn't seen for a day, Chu Hang felt a sense of closeness, as if this was his home.
Only the Sky Ladder's color scheme changed from interwoven green and white to interwoven yellow and black...
Unfortunately, the two parties couldn't communicate.
Chu Hang had no intention of teaching them the common language for now, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble the players would stir up.
Scarface was also in the car. He was moody during the journey, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"A magnificent view ahead!"
Except for the paralyzed Qǐ Kěxiū,
"The other half will be blocked by the outer shell, converted into endless electrical energy through the Dyson cloud, and then supplied to the entire ring by wireless transmission technology.
Chu Hang handed the construction mission, along with the order for the Neural Adjustment Device, to the system for outsourcing, and opened the Blue Star chat group himself.
Taking advantage of this opportunity,
Big Head immediately got excited, but when he saw Chu Hang glaring at him, he awkwardly covered his mouth.
"This is the Tenth Starlane, an artificial celestial body built by our Empire, shaped like a giant ring!"
Chu Hang had no plans to touch the other power systems for now.
After all, the outpost's location was quite good and could serve as a forward outpost for player activities in the future. Currently, there was a shortage of personnel, so it could be temporarily sealed off.
There were quite a few resources on the ship that he and the players had accumulated over the past few days.
It was almost enough for 10 nursery pods.
Chu Hang planned to take all the supplies and equipment with him; the transport vehicle could carry it all in one trip.
After returning,
He planned to decorate his valley well, transforming Garbage Dump No. 217 into his backyard. Once he had a safe environment, he could recruit players on a large scale to collect resources for repairing the small, dilapidated ship.
"The center of the ring has a micro-artificial sun, and a Dyson Sphere device with perforations is built on its surface. Half of the sunlight will pass through the perforated sections and be evenly distributed within the ecosystem on the inner side of the ring to form daylight.
That damned operator never said this wasn't a planet~
"In its prime, the entire ring could accommodate hundreds of millions of people. But in the post-disaster era today, it's hard to say if there are even a million lives left on the ring."
The water pump still needed to be used, and players would be regularly assigned to fetch water in the future.
Qǐ Kěxiū ultimately chose close combat and firearms.
"Damn, it really is a halo—!"
"It will take some time to manufacture the Neural Adjustment Device. I will provide it to you when we get back. For now, I need manpower to transport supplies..."
"In the future, this will be the starting point for the Empire's revival!"
"We will revive more Imperial warriors, I will build our mothership, I will judge the traitors here, and then we will return to this starry sky!"
"We will retake everything we have lost and let the Imperial flag fly across the universe once more!"
Little Black positioned himself as a scout, choosing firearms and Wasteland Encyclopedia.
At this moment, the three players present were like pumped-up roosters. He didn't know which of his promises they found most appealing, but he could guarantee that these were his own goals, goals he would definitely achieve.
Now, Chu Hang could issue tasks with practiced ease.
"The entire ring has a diameter of 10,000 kilometers, a width of 100 kilometers, and a thickness of 22.3 kilometers. It is primarily composed of metal, rock, and soil. The outer side is a mechanical structure, and the inner side has a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere and an ecosystem. Gravity is generated by a powerful artificial gravity field and controls the ring's rotation."
Big Head stared at the magnificent view in the sky in disbelief.
At 2 PM,
Just then,
After a morning's work, Chu Hang and the others finally packed all the supplies onto the vehicle and temporarily left the outpost.
Chu Hang secretly gave himself an 8 out of 10.
The massive transport vehicle roared into the Shipwreck Valley. Chu Hang had already cleared the obstacles at the entrance, and the truck drove all the way to the entrance of the small, dilapidated ship before stopping with a screech.
"It's spectacular, isn't it?"
However, the effect looked quite good.
"Holy crap, what is that!"
"The Tenth Starlane is divided into six major sectors. We are in Sector 4. Shipwrecks and metal debris are the second most abundant on the entire ring. From a developmental perspective, it's quite a good location."
Instead, the players were curious about him, always trying to uncover some hidden quests.
