After receiving the communication from the left-behind AI, Hao Ren sailed to Purgatory to prepare for the acceptance of the project and to contact representatives of United Mining. The only people traveling with him were Vivian and Lily: the former wanted to see what happened to the eldest son, the latter... What do you think?
Does the latter need a reason to join in the fun?
The Rift Nebula, just as it has been for thousands of years, continues to create massive fluctuations of information, constantly giving birth to fleeting light pillars and bright cracks in the dense purple-red air mass, and in this
At the edge of the rift in the universe that is 7.7 light-years wide, one of the few star systems now has a new member. The Purgatory Star is like a beautiful white snowball on the edge of the rift nebula.
It rotates and becomes the only scenery in this desolate place. The brilliant brilliance of the new star shines on the surface of this white "snowball", spreading large tracts of golden light on its smooth cloud tops.
The Giant Turtle Rock Platform arrived at the upper level of the cloud top facing this brilliant golden sunshine. The calibration equipment left before leaving last time is still running above the cloud top, serving as temporary monitoring satellites to constantly monitor the state of the planet.
Hao Ren asked Nolan to hover less than a few dozen meters away from the cloud top, and first connected the monitoring equipment. The data terminal reported the situation: "The data is normal. Half a month has passed. It seems that the operating parameters of the planet are stable.
"
"After all, it is the first leg of the True God, so there shouldn't be any problems," Hao Ren nodded, "When will the representatives of United Mining arrive?"
Nolan's holographic image appeared on the bridge: "They have arrived, but their spaceship is parked at the outer edge of the Rift Nebula material belt and can be called over at any time."
As she spoke, she glanced at the console involuntarily, for no other reason: a blond girl formed by holographic projection was sitting on the console, and turned a blind eye to any outside sight, and the blond girl's
The main body is under her butt: the brick stuck in the slot is. Obviously, the battle between the two AIs for the console finally gave the brick the upper hand. Of course, the reason is the so-called "Patti"
It has nothing to do with "An Girl's Heart", it's just that Nolan is not as thick-skinned as the terminal...
"Don't look at it, it won't move." Hao Ren looked at the data terminal in the "Padian" form and could only shake his head and sigh. "Didn't I even try the crowbar just now? You should call the representative ship of United Mining
Bar."
Nolan curled his lips helplessly and sent a navigation signal to the Fialli merchants waiting at the border of the Rift Nebula and a docking permit allowing them to enter the airspace of the Purgatory Planet. A moment later, the gang of profiteers and their mining fleet appeared on the monitor.
in the screen.
I saw light blue, door-like space cracks suddenly appearing in the low-Earth orbit of the Purgatory planet. After these portals were opened, a group of more than ten large mining ships and a pilot command ship appeared.
The fleet then jumped into the airspace. Those Fiari spaceships had a distinctive red paint, and the front armor belt depicted a strangely structured Fiari emblem that looked like a queen bee. Its command ship was a slender triple ship.
A hull ship, that is, three symmetrically distributed spacecraft structures assembled around a common long axis. This ship is one size smaller than the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, but it has a unique position in the fleet and a complex and sophisticated
The antenna system makes it obvious at a glance that this is the command center of all spacecraft.
However, Hao Ren's attention was more focused on the Fiyali ore ships. Because they were larger and more eye-catching: the shapes of those ore ships were like several giant boxes connected together, and there were still holes between each connection.
You can see the mechanical parts that are constantly running. After zooming in, you can see that those mechanical parts are actually extensions of the mineral processing facilities. And you can also see the huge open gates on the upper and lower additional decks of the ore ship, which are for supply.
The passage for small mining ships to enter and exit. These mining ships are huge in size. Considering their special uses, their long axes are basically more than ten kilometers. This is a truly giant unit among the macro-world civilian ships.
, even the Giant Turtle Yantai became a small man in front of them.
While Hao Ren focused on those ore ships, Nolan also connected to the main data network to retrieve information about these ore ships. Hao Ren learned that these heavy and large industrial ships had complete factory systems.
The rough processing and transformation of minerals are completed on-site, and at the end of the series of "big box"-like hulls is a space door device with a huge throughput. The hyperspace system can continuously transfer the processed crushed ore directly to the location.
On the first planet of Fiyali Mining in the rear area. Without this mechanism, it would be impossible to complete the mining operations of an entire planet with only a limited number of ore ships.
The Fiyali businessmen are very wealthy and always set up offices and bases everywhere in order to launch activities in every universe. They spend a lot of money to buy several planets in this universe as their business bases, and the first mining star is one of them.
: The Phialis built a mineral processing plant on an entire planet and a large area of its surrounding space, and used it as a base to continuously export all kinds of ores to their markets in the nearby universe. There are even rumors that the first mining star is still there today
It is of course nonsense to say that one percent of the mass of the universe has been "eaten", but the Fialli businessmen were happy to promote this as a horrifying advertisement.
Until this group of profiteers was really investigated by the Material Dispatch Department of the Space-Time Management Bureau for "uncontrolled transfer of the mass of the universe without reasonable backfilling"...
Hao Ren quickly browsed through the various information. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the transformation of the Purgatory Planet, he must understand the technical strength of this joint mining company. He was very satisfied with those powerful ore ships. He felt that these profiteers were indeed
Of course, he has the ability to dig up a meteor swarm halfway, and he also has the ability to polish the purgatory planet.
A request for signal access came from the communicator. Hao Ren straightened his clothes and returned to the captain's seat. After connecting the communication, a middle-aged man with slicked back hair, wearing a straight uniform and a mustache appeared.
on the projection.
Nolan held up an additional holographic projection next to Hao Ren as a reminder screen. Hao Ren learned from the information that the representative of United Mining in front of him was Vanseke Creeden. It is said that he once led a team to dig through this
It is the solid planet with the largest diameter in the universe and is nicknamed "the man whose drill bit broke through the sky".
Hao Ren always felt that there was nothing wrong with this name, but after thinking about it, he decided not to delve into it...
"I am honored to have the opportunity to undertake this extraordinary excavation project," Vanseke Creedon said straight to the point after introducing himself. "We have understood all the project requirements and are ready to start work at any time."
Hao Ren nodded: "Do you know the first requirement of this project?"
"Safety first," Fansek said like any qualified businessman, with a completely reliable expression when he spoke, regardless of whether the expression came from the bottom of his heart, "Every one of our ore ships has a gravity
Control device, the broken crust will be pulled directly into space, without worrying about anything falling. Of course, considering that in the second half of large-scale mining, the surface crust structure of the entire planet will become fragile, so we have also mobilized a large number of
With enough gravity-generating ships, we will pull the entire planet's surface crust directly into space."
As Fanseke spoke, he sent their project plan to Hao Ren's spacecraft. The data terminal confirmed the plan and performed mathematical simulations on it, and finally came to a definite conclusion: "The effect he said can be achieved.
Of course, this is definitely the most cost-effective solution.”
"There is nothing wrong with the project plan, and the attached contract was signed in accordance with the original document I sent you." Hao Ren raised his head, "But you only brought this little ore ship? Is it enough?"
"Of course there is a follow-up fleet," Fansek explained. "We hope to start construction as soon as possible to solve the urgent needs of customers, so before each large-scale project starts, we will send a group of vanguard troops to serve customers in advance. This is what our company has always done
The business philosophy we adhere to: we would rather increase the cost of additional staffing, but also allow customers to experience perfect service as soon as possible..."
When Hao Ren heard this, he immediately felt that these profiteers seemed to be quite reliable, and then the data terminal reminded him: "Actually, they are just afraid that you will forcefully outsource the project to others with the authority of the review officer, so come here first at the construction site
If you drive 1,800 stakes, you won’t be able to change hands even if you want to.”
Hao Ren: "..."
"Ahem," Hao Ren coughed twice, "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's get to work: polishing this planet." (To be continued.)
