Chapter 839 Polishing the Planet
After receiving the communication from the left-behind AI, Hao Ren sailed to Purgatory to prepare for the acceptance project and contact representatives from United Mining. The only people traveling with him were Vivian and Lily: the former wanted to see what happened to his eldest son again, and the latter... Do you think the latter needed 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 7.7 light-year wide rift in the universe, one of the few star systems now has a new member. The Purgatory Star is like a beautiful white snowball running on the edge of the Rift Nebula, becoming the only scenery in this desolate place. The brilliant brilliance of the new star shines on the surface of this white "snowball", and on its smooth surface Large areas of golden light diffused from the top of the clouds.
The Giant Turtle Yantai arrived at the upper level of the cloud top facing the brilliant golden sunshine. The calibration equipment left before leaving last time was still running above the cloud top, serving as temporary monitoring satellites to constantly monitor the status 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 just under her butt: the brick stuck in the slot is it. Obviously, the battle between the two AIs for the console finally gave this brick the upper hand. Of course, the reason had nothing to do with the so-called "Patian girl's heart". It was simply that Nolan was 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 United Mining Represent the ship.”
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 screen.
I saw light blue, door-like space rifts 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 jumped into this airspace. Those Fiari spaceships have distinctive red paint, and the front armor belt depicts the Fiari coat of arms with a strange structure, like a queen bee. Its command ship is a slender triple-hull ship, that is, three symmetrically distributed The spacecraft structure is assembled around a common long axis. This ship is one size smaller than the Giant Turtle Platform, but its unique position in the fleet and its complex and sophisticated antenna system make it clear at a glance that this is the command center of all spaceships.
However, Hao Ren focused more 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. Continuously operating mechanical components can be seen, and upon zooming in, it can be seen that these mechanical components are actually extensions of the mineral processing facility. Large open gates can also be seen on the upper and lower additional decks of the ore ship, which are passages for small collection ships to enter and exit. The size of these ore ships is huge. Considering their special uses, their long axes are basically more than ten kilometers - this is a truly giant unit among the civilian ships of the macro world. Even the Giant Turtle Rock The station number also became a small person 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 a complete factory system, which could The rough processing and transformation of minerals is 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 transport the processed crushed ore directly to the location. On the first star of Fialli 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 Fialli businessmen are very wealthy. In order to carry out activities in every universe, they always set up offices and bases everywhere. They spent huge sums of money to buy several planets in this universe as their commercial bases, and the first mining star was one of them: the Phyali people built a mineral processing plant on the entire planet and a large area around it, and used it as their base. The stronghold continuously exports various types of ores to their markets in the nearby universe. There are even rumors that the first mining star has "eaten" one percent of the mass of the universe - this is of course nonsense, but the Fialli businessmen were happy to use it as a shocking advertisement. Promote it vigorously.
Until this group of profiteers was actually 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 capable of digging up a meteor swarm halfway - and of course they were also capable of polishing the planet Purgatory.
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 projection.
Nolan held up an additional holographic projection next to Hao Ren as a reminder screen. Hao Ren learned from the information that the person in front of him was the representative of United Mining, Vanseke Creeden. It is said that he once led a team to dig through this universe. The largest solid planet in diameter, the title is "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 Creeden said straight to the point after introducing himself. "We have understood all the engineering 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 with a completely reliable expression like any qualified businessman - no matter whether this expression comes from the heart or not, "each of our mining ships has With a gravity control device, the broken crust will be pulled directly into space without worrying about anything falling. Of course, considering the second half of large-scale mining, the surface crust structure of the entire planet will become fragile, so we also mobilize With a sufficient number of gravity-generating ships, we will pull the entire planet's surface crust directly into space."
Vanseke said as he sent their project plan to Hao Ren's spaceship. The data terminal confirmed the plan and conducted mathematical simulations on it, and finally came to a definite conclusion: "It can achieve the effect he said. 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 few ore ships? Is it enough?"
"Of course there is a follow-up fleet," Fanseke 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 afraid that you will force the project to be contracted to others with the authority of the review officer, so come here first at the construction site Ding 1,800 stakes, you won’t be able to change hands when the time comes.”
Hao Ren: "..."
"Ahem," Hao Ren coughed twice, "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's get to work: polishing this planet."
