Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Moreover, as Chen Ming's ideas about building colonies became increasingly clear in his mind.

He also realized how important the spaceship fuel that keeps the colony running and the industrial equipment that produces these raw materials would be for his future.

If the colony he chooses in the future has gas giant planets, and the lack of expensive industrial facilities prevents development.

Or if the progress of development is delayed, or if the development of this gas giant planet affects other aspects of development, it would be a pure loss.

Chen Ming doesn't have the capability to quickly earn a set of industrial equipment that can operate on gas giant planets at the early stage of developing a colony.

He has no problem earning money from the ships he operates now, but getting involved in industrial production lines is best left aside.

So, it might be better to start preparing now.

As for the way to prepare, one cannot help but mention the power of the teleportation engine.

The teleportation engine installed on at least a cruiser or higher-level ships can resonate with surrounding guard or destroyer level ships equipped with ordinary engines.

Achieving the effect of simultaneous teleportation.

And this effect only affects the items propelled by the engine, regardless of whether the item is a spaceship or something else.

Of course, the premise is that the total mass to be teleported together through resonance does not exceed the initiating teleportation engine's ship, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine and the items it propels must exceed 20.

This is the data of how much thrust a spaceship unit mass can generate; the larger it is, the greater the acceleration the spaceship can achieve.

Only spaceships that exceed this limit can resonate along with the teleportation engine.

Currently, all spaceships already have a thrust-to-weight ratio exceeding 20, so as far as spaceships are concerned, they can basically all resonate teleportation.

But the engines installed on colonial industrial equipment are different, as these things can easily have inadequate thrust-to-weight ratios or excessive mass issues.

Thus, when Chen Ming had this idea, he had to carefully consider these problems.

How to solve the thrust-to-weight ratio? How to resolve the mass issue of the colony?

Solutions to the first problem aren't hard since colonies on gas giant planets already have many engines installed on them to stay afloat on the surface.

Although the thrust-to-weight ratio might not be enough, Chen Ming can certainly install additional engines.

No need to consider whether it's reasonable, just whether the thrust-to-weight ratio meets the standard.

As for the issue of the colony's mass exceeding half the mass of a cruiser.

There is actually a solution to this as well.

First is starting multiple teleportation engines together, which can stack the effects of the teleportation engines with some loss to bear greater mass.

Chen Ming should at least be able to control two Dusk cruisers in the future, and with two combined, it can make up for a large part of the colony's mass gap.

Secondly, Brilliant is aware of the value and function of different parts of the colony on this gas giant planet.

Chen Ming can completely follow the instructions of Brilliant, dismantling temporarily expendable or inexpensive parts of the colony to reduce the overall mass.

Then find a way to make up for it after teleportation.

Although modifying requires mastering technology, there are no such restrictions for repairs of missing parts.

Even if more parts are dismantled, as long as the materials are complete in the end, Chen Ming can repair them directly.

Of course, the whole idea of Chen Ming relies on Brilliant cooperating with Gamma Z to control the entire star system.

The subsequent plans for the colony on the gas giant planet were just some ideas that accidentally extended in Chen Ming's mind.

Chen Ming quickly gathered his scattered thoughts and started seriously considering what he needed to do.

While considering, Chen Ming first asked himself a few questions in his mind.

What does he want to do most right now? What is most urgently needed? And what has been his goal all along?
