With the completion of the second mineral area, the growth of minerals is enough to support the establishment of a second alloy foundry.
The shipyard in the star base built five destroyers and accompanied the exploration ship to explore unknown galaxies.
Five days later, the plan to open up the galaxy was officially launched.
Under the escort of five Kingfisher destroyers, after sailing for four hours, the exploration ship and the exploration ship arrived at the edge of the Bactria Galaxy.
All galaxies in the star map have no names and are named with a number. The number is determined based on the wavelength emitted by the main star.
This number is unified in the star charts of all forces, so no matter what name the galaxy is called, other people's systems will automatically convert it to the galaxy named by others.
Of course, if the ruler of the galaxy is determined, the name will be based on the ruler, and subsequent changes in sovereignty will be discussed separately.
The Bactria galaxy is connected to a total of three hyperspace lanes, which means that there are three galaxies that can be reached.
On the large star map, the three galaxies are located to the north, west, and east of the Bactria galaxy.
In order to facilitate management, Chu Hua simply called these three galaxies "North One", "West One" and "East One".
If there is a planet that can be colonized, it would be better to give it a special name. For now, it is better to explore the star system first.
The galaxy that Chu Hua chose to develop was the Dongyi Galaxy.
"What will we find? Or will we encounter space creatures?"
Amid Chu Hua's curiosity, five Kingfisher destroyers and an exploration ship began to activate the hyperspace engine at the edge of the galaxy.
Only by activating the hyperspace engine can you enter the hyperspace channel, and you cannot be affected by anything during this period, otherwise you will not be able to enter the jump process.
Three minutes later, the hyperspace engine was started, and the six ships were suddenly enveloped in a magical force, then disappeared among the stars and began to leap to the galaxy on the other side.
In the big star map, your ship flies to another galaxy along a faintly visible channel with a green spaceship symbol.
This was the first time Chu Hua witnessed a ship crossing the galaxy.
Not only him, many scientific researchers are also observing carefully.
Although the hyperspace engine has been proven, it is also the first time that a real crossing between galaxies has been carried out.
Fortunately, there were no problems in their research, and the exploration ship and Kingfisher destroyer successfully arrived in the Dongyi Galaxy.
"The signal is normal and there is no communication problem!"
"We have arrived successfully and everything is running well."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Chu Hua nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, let's proceed with the exploration project."
"clear!"
After confirming the order, the exploration ship immediately began the mission of exploring the galaxy.
Exploration ships are almost the same size as destroyers, but they have little combat effectiveness.
The reason is that the hull is equipped with a huge sensor, which occupies nearly half of the ship's energy, allowing it to directly scan planets in space, eliminating the trouble of landing.
Under the scanning of sensors, even the internal structure of the planet can be analyzed, and it can also be known whether it is suitable for colonization, whether it can exploit resources, etc.
When the exploration ship scans the planets in the galaxy one by one, the divisions of the galaxy will gradually become more detailed, and will be displayed as a general galaxy in Chu Hua's star map interface.
In fact, the star system is very large. Although the gravitational range mainly depends on the main star, the average diameter is about 4 light years. The proportion of stars and planets in the star map has been changed for the convenience of management and is also suitable for ordinary people's vision.
Otherwise, according to the real proportion, it would be very troublesome to find where the main star is after a long time.
[Under exploration of the Dongyi Galaxy, initial estimated completion time: 2 days and 18 hours]
The exploration ship began work, and the escorting Kingfisher destroyer patrolled nearby to prevent unknown risks.
The researchers at the institute are also analyzing the data transmitted back.
Chu Hua breathed out, "It's not bad that we haven't encountered any enemies. Maybe it's like the so-called novice stage now. There won't be any powerful enemies near you."
It would take two days for the exploration to be completed. Chu Hua could not wait and continue the construction of the main star and develop resources.
“low power……..”
Reciting a strange sentence silently, Chu Hua looked at the income of energy coins and shook his head, remembering a strategy game he played in his previous life.
"Fortunately, the construction of the ocean current power generation area near the second mineral area was completed today, and the income from energy coins has increased."
"However, the establishment of the alloy foundry has lowered the income from minerals and energy coins, but the battleship must be built, and it is time to build the second exploration ship."
"I wonder how the third mineral area is being established..."
Chu Hua turned his perspective to the third mineral area that was about to be established. No matter what major events happened in Daxia, Chu Hua could immediately observe the situation through the control console and strategize.
Of course, extremely private matters do not have this function.
The main star's resources are relatively concentrated, and there are three mineral areas that can be built in the southern region.
Through the screen, Chu Hua also saw Cortana inspecting the scene heroically and giving instructions from time to time.
Then the blasting of the mining area to be built began, and the earth shook and the mountains trembled. Dust rushed up in the sky, and was then pressed down by the dome device in the sky.
After the bombing, it was time to place the collection equipment.
This mining area is an underground mine and requires mining deep into the earth's veins, so mining machinery similar to shield machines is used.
Many thousand-ton collection machinery was hoisted by aircraft. They flew to the mining area one by one and landed on the ground. They automatically unfolded and took root on the earth. Then the personnel moved in.
Even in the interstellar age, miners are still a common type of work. The hard work is a bit hard, but Chu Hua does not treat them too badly.
Along with the benefits, security also keeps up.
The cost is 10% consumption of consumer goods and loss of output, but it is not without benefits. At least the happiness and stability will not decrease.
Cortana has suggested a little bit of exploitation of these hard-working professions. After all, these professions are not demanding and can squeeze out a lot of resources. Even a 5% improvement is very impressive.
After thinking about it, Chu Hua still didn't agree, "It's not the time to be so short of resources yet."
"However, you don't have to be polite to criminals who break the law. I am a great country. If you do something bad, you have to cause trouble. Let them do the hardest jobs."
No matter what, there will always be some people who are born with a love for crime. This is probably unavoidable even if Daxia becomes a carefree utopia.
However, the situation in Daxia is not bad. Under Chuhua's harmonious development and preferential treatment policies, the population crime rate is only 0.3%.
This also creates higher stability and happiness, and Chu Hua vaguely feels that if these two items reach a certain level, they should bring some bonuses.
It's approaching afternoon.
Chu Hua was stunned for a moment when the Academy of Sciences suddenly sent a report.
When he thought something had happened in the Dongyi Galaxy, he opened the report and found out that the research project on space creatures had been completed.
While looking through the report, Chu Hua gradually learned about the space creature, and also learned the name given to it by the Academy of Sciences.
