In 3570, the immigrant fleet had been sailing on the gray star stream for more than half a century.
Although Fleet 2 was at a much faster pace than them in the Triangulum Galaxy star stream, knowing that they would definitely not be able to catch up, Qiao Bishan seemed unfazed.
Get into chaos.
The warehouse capacity of the starship spacecraft of the No. 1 Immigration Fleet has so far exceeded 85, but it was still at the level of 50 a few decades ago.
The cause of all this is undoubtedly the new material recycling technology, which allowed them to accumulate quite a lot of resources in a short period of time.
Materials are available for them to squander as they please.
It is also worth mentioning that 6 years ago, during their routine deceleration and docking in a lonely star system on a star stream to replenish supplies, they sent out multiple spacecraft to jointly encircle and suppress an 80-kilometer-diameter metallic asteroid, plundering more than 2 million from it.
Tons of high-purity metal raw ore can be used for many things.
Unlike in ancient times, ships and spaceships can continue to receive supplies, ensuring sufficient supplies at all times.
The greater benefit is reflected in safety; with the diversification of functions of spaceships and starships, the fleet can still produce normally during the voyage.
After having enough supplies, the fleet will become like a life and can continue to grow during the voyage.
This is the true meaning of new material recovery technology.
It is also the purpose of the Academy of Sciences to concentrate its efforts on developing and promoting it to the immigrant fleet.
Think about it, 500 years have passed, they have arduously traveled from the Milky Way to the Triangulum Galaxy.
As a result, the size of the entire fleet has There are several times more than when they set out.
This is such an exciting thing.
It will make their speed of exploring the galaxy skyrocket.
Qiao Bishan looked at the supplies they had on hand, and then asked the artificial intelligence to produce and distribute the daily necessities, strategic supplies, unmanned units, etc. consumed by various immigrant fleets according to routine to complete the normal supply of supplies.
Then at the most critical moment, they still had a lot of excess supplies, and if they wanted to expand the fleet, the basic thing was undoubtedly to have spaceships.
He decided to build a few Flying Star and Morning Star spacecraft first, which was fast and convenient.
So he saw that following the issuance of his order, the hurricane-class unmanned starships in the fleet, as well as the spacecraft with production factories, quickly started construction.
They first mobilized materials and manpower from the spacecraft, and then started preliminary processing.
The manufacturing environment on the spacecraft may not be as bad as on the ground.
In a vacuum environment, the difficulty of material purification and component shaping will be greatly reduced.
In essence, the factory on the ground is moved here.
Therefore, during this period, there was no need to reduce the speed due to manufacturing.
The immigrant fleet always maintained a speed of 150,000 times in the star stream.
In the blink of an eye, over the past three years, various components used by several spacecraft, such as fusion energy reactors, stargate equipment, outer armor plates, cabins, etc., have been manufactured.
Then, the immigrant fleet slowly slowed down and parked.
However, this berth is not only for assembly.
In addition to several spaceships that will gradually pull out the parts of the spacecraft for assembly, there will also be spaceships specially responsible for replenishing fuel and mining mineral deposits, as well as completing the distribution of materials on the spacecraft.
After all, after a period of sailing, the materials inside the spacecraft will be in an unbalanced state due to various reasons.
While traveling at super-light speed, there is no way to exchange materials, so you have to take advantage of this time to get everything done.
Not long ago, the spacecraft that went to mine the mineral deposits returned.
They returned fully loaded and brought back a large amount of materials needed by the fleet, thus allowing their low-level material reserves to return to normal.
The new spacecraft components that were dragged out of the spacecraft were assembled, which took about 2 weeks.
There were two more Flying Star spacecraft and two Morning Star spacecraft in the entire immigration fleet.
The newly built spaceship is still empty, with nothing inside.
After the artificial intelligence is implanted, it first controls the spacecraft to follow the fleet, and then allocates corresponding supplies to maintain the long-term navigation of the spacecraft.
Just as the number of spaceships will continue to increase as the immigrant fleet moves toward the Triangulum Galaxy, the number of immigrants will also increase due to various reasons of natural reproduction.
There is no need to worry about no one to control the spacecraft.
Qiao Bishan finally designated the people on the new spaceship.
Quite a few people were still asleep, so they were moved in directly.
Some of the others who were awake completed the acceptance by independently applying for deployment and appointing a new captain and crew.
The immigration fleet then completed its first expansion.

Their reserves of supplies suddenly decreased, and they were able to continue to accumulate resources.
Moreover, the addition of 4 new spaceships increased the number of immigrants, supplies, and productivity that the entire fleet could accommodate.
Wait until the next time they find it.
If they have the opportunity to stop and rest, they may get more new spaceships or even produce starships.
Qiao Bishan thought, perhaps even he himself had not thought that the immigrant fleet would complete their voyage in this way.
The reason why the immigrant fleet that previously set sail from the Large Magellanic System was not larger in size was simply because of the expansion of the Large Magellanic System.
Time is short and productivity is insufficient to support this level of pioneering activity, and now, through this approach, their shortcomings will be remedied.
Qiao Bishan couldn't help but look forward to their expansion in the Triangulum Galaxy
