Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 2: Something Is Wrong With This Mothership! [Rewrite]

The Cabin Door opened, and green indicator lights lit up in the white corridor, pointing Tang Xiao to the elevator leading to the Bridge. The Nurse guarding the door lowered her head and ran back to the Medical Cabin to tidy up.

[The Supreme Commander has awakened. Please pay attention to the work arrangements of all units... The Supreme Commander has awakened...] In the corridor, the broadcast from the Brain was still echoing.

But the whole place still seemed empty, and it took Tang Xiao a long time to see Two Soldiers in Black Uniforms at the elevator door.

Seeing Tang Xiao coming, the Two Soldiers stood up and made a very standard Military Salute. "Stand Up!"

Tang Xiao was not quite used to it, but he nodded back. Seeing his response, the Two Soldiers drew their developed chest muscles higher.

After taking a long elevator ride, he came to a vast hall. Two Soldiers with determined faces stood at the door. Seeing Tang Xiao coming, they immediately stood up and saluted.

In the middle of the hall was a Huge Holographic Star Map, but most of the Star Map was dark, and nothing could be seen.

There were many seats and consoles around, and it seemed that if this place was to start working, at least a hundred people would have to work together, but now, only more than ten people were working in the hall.

"Stand Up!" Everyone stood up and saluted. "Good morning, Supreme Commander!"

Tang Xiao wasn't used to this but nodded and looked out the huge panoramic window. A Green Moon came into view. Unlike the Earth, this Moon had only a lot of green vegetation, so it looked green all over.

White Clouds of the atmosphere were clearly visible, showing that the Moon had a good atmosphere.

But the most striking thing was not the Moon itself but the Enormous Planet behind it. The Small Moon in front of it was like a mouse standing at the feet of an elephant.

The Pale Blue Sphere looked smooth and clean, with only a few dark twists, like a bouncy ball from childhoodit was clearly a Gas Giant.

"Is this the Habitable Planet we have found?" Tang Xiao asked.

[Yes, Supreme Commander.] The Central Holographic Projection immediately switched to a Star System, and the Brain explained: [The current Star System is a Stable Binary System, with Two Stars constantly rotating around a common center point. In the Star System, there is only One Planet, which is this Gas Giant with a diameter of 48,951 kilometres.]

[In addition, there are Nine Moons around this Gas Giant, and we are next to one of them. There is also a Moon with a suitable climate, but the ocean coverage is more than 95%, which is not suitable for colonization in the current situation.]

"Nine Moons orbiting a Gas Giant?" Tang Xiao frowned, thinking back to his memory. Well, that means we have to make do with colonizing this Small Moon, right? Then, at least tell me what the situation is now."

A Young Man in a Dark Blue Military Uniform, aged 25 or 26, stood up from a round table nearby. He saluted Tang Xiao and said: "First, we need to replenish conventional fuel. The atmosphere of this Gas Giant contains a lot of Helium, which can be used as the Energy Source for various Spacecraft Fusion Reactors. Therefore, a Mining Station needs to be built near the Gas Giant. There are Modular Semi-Finished Products in the Mothership Warehouse, and some Small Engineering Aircraft are kept in the Hangar to complete the assembly work, but these Aircraft need to be piloted by people."

"So I need to wake up these Pilots?"

"Yes, after you woke up from hibernation, the Master Brain woke up 50 of us to prepare for you in advance. There are 10 Marines, 5 Civilian Staff, 5 Officers, 5 Correspondents, 5 Maintenance Personnel and 10 Mothership Controllers, in addition to 10 Medical Personnel to ensure our health at any time. Now, we need your authorization to wake up more people."

"Very good. What's your name?" Tang Xiao saw that the man spoke with a plan and eye and asked.

"I am Qi Jian! I'm a member of the Staff Department!" Qi Jian puffed out his chest and answered loudly.

"Qi Jian, this name is good, very good. If there is no corresponding position, then from now on, you will be our temporary Chief of Staff." Tang Xiao said.

He also roughly understood some things, and now he needs to build a team. He himself can't understand everything, but as long as there are people who do, that's OK.

Sure enough, after Tang Xiao picked up, Qi Jian suddenly became excited and answered loudly, "Yes! I promise to complete the mission!"

"OK, let me see our Hibernating Crew." Tang Xiao came to the Bridge in the central highest seat under the prompt of the Main Brain and immediately opened a Huge Holographic Screen in front of him.

The screen lists the personnel available for awakening, including 600,000 Residents and 50,000 Crew Members who are skilled in different fields. Now, it is evident that the people who should be chosen to wake up first are among the 50,000 Crew Members who are more familiar with the work on the Mothership.

These personnel are also divided into different levels, including Normal, Elite, and Master, and there are three levels after this. The conditions for these personnel to wake up are not the same.

For example, the Master Level Talent is basically a Master in their field. If you want to wake them up to face the Poor Colony without even a tent, it is like a waste of doctors later moving bricks.

So, the conditions to wake them up are marked below these talents, and most of these conditions are their own conditions before they enter the frozen hibernation. They are determined after signing the contract with the Mothership.

Tang Xiao is curious to check what people's Master Talents are. He randomly opens a person and finds that this is a Master of Astrophysics. His requirements are a Three-Story Villa, a Private Swimming Pool, and the most Advanced Laboratory built at least 3000 meters above sea level on a Super Radio Observatory Plateau.

And open another. This is a Quantum Mechanics Master. He needs a dust-free laboratory environment, the most Advanced Experimental Equipment, and at least a 50-kilometer-long Particle Collider. In addition, he needs two beautiful girls aged not more than 20 as a private secretary and a velvet bed with a diameter of no less than 5 meters.

What? What's wrong with you guys?!

There are some normal requirements, such as a Master Talent of Social Scientists' demand being very simple: He does not ask for food or clothing as long as the Colony Population is more than 10 Million on the line.

....

... ...

This demand is even more outrageous! Asshole! (D)(!!

Tang Xiao decisively shut down the Master Talent Interface, this time even the Elite Talent, which he did not bother to see. Even if these people wake up, it's estimated that they will directly throw a fit, protest, or rather be dead.

This is actually such a truth, in fact, the early work of the Normal Talent of these characters can do very well, such as Workers, at most, he needs some Elite Talents to lead.

But the Master Talent of the conditions of the awakening is harsh or must; for example, you are still in the construction of the Colony when you wake up a Master Physicist, Precision Instruments and Laboratories don't exist. Let him do what? Go to school to teach physics? The problem is, you don't even have a school!

These Master Talent characters are mostly 50 or 60 years old. A year less is a year less. Do you let them come out in advance with the early development of the Colony and waste years of life?

So these people are in a deep sleep before they first sign such conditions and contracts, which is not without reason.

Relatively speaking, the Normal Talent characters wake up on what conditions? Open to see, basically, they have to eat, live, and work.

Only a small number of people's requirements are that the working environment needs Workers of the opposite sex or that they hope to eat noodles and other small conditions.

Before authorizing the wake-up, Tang Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Brain, am I the only one who can authorize the crew's wake-up? And these people are working for me?"

[Yes, you are the owner of the highest authority of the Mothership. You also select all the Crew and Residents, and they will be loyal to you.]

Tang Xiao nodded silently. He quickly found the Engineering Department among the Normal Crew and then chose to wake up 10 Teams. Each Team consisted of 10 people responsible for the control of an Engineering Spacecraft and then woke up 2 Teams of 10 people for Logistics and Maintenance.

Then, he appointed captains and established a small leadership team.

After getting started, Tang Xiao quickly entered into his role. Maybe it was the learning he had received in his sleep before, but this small-scale work distribution was straightforward. He woke up 20 people in the Agriculture Department to take care of the Hydroponic Tanks in the Mothership because he found that many of the crops in the Hydroponic Tanks had withered.

No wonder the Brain told him that the supplies had reached the bottom. He did not know what had happened to the Mothership; perhaps it was a disaster?

After completing the most urgent work, Tang Xiao sighed a sigh of relief, crossed his legs and said: "Brain, introduce the basic situation of this Mothership."

[Understood. ]

The Central Holographic Projection shows a panoramic view of the Mothership. Then the Brain continues to explain: [This Mothership belongs to an Unknown Civilization, an Unknown Manufacturer, a Civilian Colony Mothership, with only the Minimum Arms and Armor. The current Highest Authority Owner, Supreme Commander Tang Xiao.]

[Technical parameters: a total height of 41.37 km, the longest part of 10.92 km, and a total weight of 373.079 billion tons. Arms: 5 Mass Projectors and a Point Defense System containing 377 Small Electromagnetic Rapid-Fire Guns. Total capacity...]

When the Brain explained things in a planned way, Tang Xiao didn't care about them. He had been stunned by the Holographic Projection of the Huge Spaceship appearing in front of him!

This is a Giant Spaceship, like a crescent moon or a banana. The overall design is very simple and beautiful. There is a gap in the middle of the position, where there are a lot of portholes, and where is the Bridge?

Tang Xiao was not shocked by this Super Mothership, whose size is directly equivalent to the distance from Beijing to Langfang, but because...

This Spacecraft, he knew!

"Homeworld!! The Mothership of Kushan!!"Tang Xiao's complexion changed drastically, and he called out.

Homeworldis a famous game that Tang Xiao has played, which 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 story, and Tang Xiao, who was still in primary school then, was deeply fascinated by it.

But now, this Spacecraft can be said to be the iconic Starship in the whole world of Homeworld - Kushan's Mothership is actually the one he took over!

This is wrong! Why did things in the game become a reality? And if even the Mothership in Homeworld appears in reality, does that mean that...

That dream could be true!?
