After passing through the portal's spatial film, Chen Yu stepped onto the asteroid's irregular surface, and gravity abruptly disappeared.
"This is the Bell Asteroid.
Its overall shape is oval, and its surface is mostly composed of a mixture of iron and nickel. There seems to be some calcium oxide as well, so its color is somewhat white.
"Everyone should've heard the asteroid's diameter just now. It's six kilometers, which isn't small.
As for the quality and speed, there's nothing much to say. Let's get to work first and try to finish painting as soon as possible. "
Since Bell's interception plan still wasn't certain, Chen Yu restrained himself from saying too much.
Activating the plasma engine to assist him in standing, Chen Yu picked up the light oil barrel and inserted it into the empty tube at the end of the brush. He then pressed a button.
Buzz … Buzz …
The sound of several motors vibrating came from the brush, and it started spraying out pure black paint!
The black paint stuck to the asteroid's surface.
Without the shackles of gravity, the black paint that had been repelled by the impact condensed into spherical particles that floated around the asteroid.
Yes, the so-called "brushes" were actually thousands of densely packed flexible tubes.
As long as there was enough paint, the special oil pump inside the brush would extract the paint and complete the process of pressurizing and ejecting it, greatly improving the efficiency of "painting."
"What a great device, isn't it?"
Looking at the camera, Chen Yu shrugged. He then began his "salvation" under the plasma engine's propulsion. "The asteroid's gravitational force is negligible. If I want to paint the paint densely, I'll have to stick close to the asteroid's surface and paint slowly."
While Chen Yu was explaining, the Purple Mountain Observatory's staff members tossed buckets of paint through the Interstellar Portal.
The large brush was very powerful. In just half a minute, it had emptied the 20-liter oil barrel.
After pulling out the empty barrel, Chen Yu swung his right hand and smashed it. He then grabbed a new oil barrel floating in the air and inserted it into the tail tube without hesitation.
"Destroying the empty barrels will speed up the work.
Otherwise, it won't be long before the sky is filled with oil barrels. I won't be able to tell which one has oil and which doesn't... "
[Professional!]
[Maybe the UP's job is to paint walls.]
[Shocking!
A certain host is painting online and earning millions every day!]
[Won't it become space garbage if you throw it around like this?]
[Won't it become space junk if you throw it around like this?]
Do you still care about space garbage?]
[You guys don't understand.
The host is adding scenes to himself. It's rare for him to have a chance to save the world.
Even if it's just painting, he has to be a little more domineering!]
【23333。】
[I'm more interested in the UP's next official livestream. It seems his access has increased, right?
Looking forward to it …]
[I hope it's a space colonization ship …]
Standing on the lonely surface of the small planet, he could increasingly feel the vastness and profoundness of the universe.
The spinning rock body with a diameter of six kilometers was like a boat in the deep sea, with no end in sight.
At this distance, the Earth, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter … were as insignificant as flies.
Apart from the blazing fireball in the distance, the entire world was filled with specks of starlight in the Milky Way.
Studying could improve one's grades, and working could increase one's skills.
As Chen Yu farmed more and more monsters, the experience points he earned also became faster and faster. He also discovered a small trick.
That was to use his legs to clamp the brush to his crotch, just like how Harry Potter rode a magic broom.
An oil barrel in his left hand and an oil barrel in his right. The muscles in his legs controlled the direction of the brush, and the engine propelled it forward …
"Ahahaha!?!"
Brandishing the oil barrel with both hands, Chen Yu hopped around and flew around like Li Yuanba, turning the boring painting job into a bewitching human behavior.
[Hahaha …]
[Host, you really are a goddamn talent.]
[I really look forward to how future historians will describe this "magnificent" journey of saving the world.]
[If aliens see this, they might sigh at the abundance of species in the universe …]
[I'm willing to call this a masterpiece!]
[I want to play as well.]
[Child, this is saving the world, not playing.]
[It feels so strange. I don't even know where to start vomiting …]
[Xswl …]
Forty-seven minutes later...
Chen Yu finally finished painting the last deep crack. He then tossed the brush and oil barrel to the side and said, "Dammit, I'm finally done!"
Stretching his waist, Chen Yu controlled the plasma engine to teleport through the Interstellar Portal and return to the Purple Mountain Observatory. He then removed the glove and looked at the bullet comments and time before putting it back on. He then asked, "What should I do next?"
"Set this solar reflector at the center of the asteroid's rotation axis."
The person in charge called out to the staff carrying a 30-meter-long piece of equipment to Chen Yu. "It's a little heavy. Do you need the astronauts to help?"
"No need. Just find a few people to help me carry the other end."
Waving his hand, Chen Yu lifted the lighter end of the equipment. While stepping back, he asked, "How do I install this thing?"
"You need to weld it. The complete set of space welding tools is inside the equipment.
Once you arrive at the asteroid with the solar reflector, the observatory headquarters will send you a deployment command. All you need to do is weld the supports to the asteroid's surface. "
"I'm not good at welding," Chen Yu said, frowning.
"It's very simple. Find a hard enough iron structure and weld it tightly.
There are high-power suction cups at the bottom of the solar reflector's support column. These are the fixed main body. "
"Oh, I understand, then."
Nodding, Chen Yu exited the Interstellar Portal while carrying the equipment.
[I just need to blindly weld a few times...]
After entering space, the weight of the solar reflector disappeared immediately.
Waving his hand at the staff inside the Interstellar Portal, Chen Yu waved them away and pulled!
The entire equipment was dragged into space.
Without any time to interact with the audience, Chen Yu flew to the asteroid's axis with the 30-meter-long equipment and landed. He then erected the equipment vertically and inserted it into the ground.
"You can deploy it now."
After Chen Yu said so, a full minute passed before the solar reflector slowly unfolded like an umbrella.
This was the vastness of the universe.
Even at such a "close" distance, a simple command would take several dozen seconds to transmit.
Without mature quantum communication technology, space travel would be a journey of disaster.
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
The vibration of the large transmission shaft passed through the asteroid's rocky surface and reached Chen Yu's feet.
As the umbrella-shaped equipment unfolded, it extended its height.
Shortly afterward, the massive solar reflector with a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 200 meters was set up.
Stretching out his hand and shaking the support rod, Chen Yu discovered that the suction cups at the bottom of the solar reflector were acting unexpectedly. Without further ado, he opened the large toolbox, pulled out welding equipment, and started welding the thick steel wire floating in space.
"Polishing atomic bombs, pasting tiles on the Great Wall of China, welding space stations... I don't need to be any less skilled than the third, right?"
[Among the many heroes who saved the world, you are the most heroic.]
[Tears.]
[Stop talking. Leave the group.]
[Huh?
What is the host doing?
Is he filming?
It's a big production!]
[Crap!
There's a newbie here!
Come bully her!]
[The pot is ready.]
[Boiling water.]
[Preparing seasoning...]
Bzzt!
Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt …
After welding the first steel bar, Chen Yu tentatively tugged at it, but to no avail. "It seems it's quite sturdy.
Some people, no matter what they do, look decent... "
