For example, the soil layer on the grassland is shallow, and sand will appear below five centimeters, and if agricultural development is carried out, it is easy to cause desertification, so the food here is completely dependent on the supply of Zhonghua Island, and Fang Xiaoyu only carries out industrial construction.

Relying on the many machinery and equipment transferred from Zhonghua Island, the construction of the upstream hydropower station and Tianjin City is very fast, and through Xiaofeng's teleportation device, there are more and more immigrants coming to the Return Star, and even Fang Xiaoyu plans to double the number of people recruited from within the empire this year to supply the Return Star for land development.

If the regression star is developed step by step, I am afraid that by the time Fang Xiaoyu should return to the earth, the development here has not yet been completed, so the speed of development must be accelerated, Fang Xiaoyu intends to take a multi-pronged approach, use all resources to open up new areas, with the support of the half-completed Tianjin City, the time is now ripe for external development.

In order to speed up the development, Fang Xiaoyu issued a solicitation order on Wangxiang Star in his personal capacity, calling all retired veterans under the age of forty of the Iron Blood Army to reinstate their military status, this solicitation order is completely voluntary, all veterans can also bring their families if they participate, so that their families can also enter the life of the return star, of course, the following terms are secret, only those who respond to the solicitation order will be informed.

The absolute loyalty of Fang Xiaoyu made those veterans of the Iron Blood Army respond to Fang Xiaoyu's call without hesitation, even those who already have a large family business, there are also many who have returned to their own troops, and there are even many veterans who are over their age, find Fang Xiaoyu and ask to return to the team, Qiu Rui is one of them.

"Young master, just let me go back to the army, don't look at me as I'm over fifty years old, I can still carry a gun, and my shooting speed hasn't slowed down much." Since the last time, Fang Xiaoyu has given Qiu Rui the right to meet him at any time, so after hearing the news that Fang Xiaoyu recruited veterans to return to the army, he immediately came to Chinatown.

"I said, Lao Qiu, you are also so old, can't you settle down a little? I'm always so active, I'm going to develop a new area this time, it's not like the place you've developed before, and you can't do targeted training beforehand, because we don't know about it at all. Fang Xiaoyu returned to Wangxiangxing to recruit people this time, but he didn't expect to be entangled by Qiu Rui just a few days after he came back.

There are not a few people who think the same way as Qiu Rui, these days his mansion is lively like a vegetable market, all veterans who have passed the conscription age come to intercede, although most of them do not have the right to enter the mansion, but they are waiting outside the door and refuse to leave, and the most behind Fang Xiaoyu has to pay out of his own pocket to find a place to place them.

"Young master, you also know that I am an idle person, or you will let me reorganize a private expedition team." Juri is so excited about the adventure of such an unknown world, like a child seeing a beloved toy.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, the age is relaxed to fifty-five years old, but those over forty years old must go through a strict physical examination, and those who are not in good health are not allowed to return to the team, and in another expedition, people over forty years old cannot exceed five percent of the total number." Fang Xiaoyu was entangled by Qiu Rui, so he had to agree to his request.

However, Fang Xiaoyu also had his own considerations for letting these veterans join, they were all the first people to follow Fang Xiaoyu, they had rich combat experience, and most of them had participated in the original adventure against the Savage Continent. With these veterans in the ranks, at least in terms of decision-making, it will be much safer.

After a large number of veterans entered the Return Star, Fang Xiaoyu also transferred most of the army and air force on China Island, especially the transport aircraft troops, for those supply points that were about to be established for the expedition, Xiaofeng could not take care of them all, so Fang Xiaoyu planned to rely more on the Iron Blood Army and the consortium itself.

Xiao Feng is already quite busy only transporting between planets, for those transportation within the return star, Fang Xiaoyu plans to use ordinary transportation methods completely, and the transportation between cities will use the laid railway lines, and for those small supply points, it is not realistic to use the railway, even if it is to use kilometers of transportation, the cost of road construction is too high, so Fang Xiaoyu will supply these areas by air transportation by transport plane.

New expeditions were set up one after another, and they were all scattered in all directions according to the size of the army and the size of the company and battalion, and many merchants who were quite skilled in establishing supply points also set out after the expedition under the protection of the Iron Army, as they had done in those years.

Exploring the prairie was quite fast, and after Fang Xiaoyu equipped the expedition with a large number of jeeps, millions of square kilometers of grassland were quickly explored, with ice fields in the north, vast primeval forests in the south, rolling mountains in the west, and the endless sea in the east.

After discovering the ocean, Fang Xiaoyu decided to find a bay to build a harbor city named Shanghai City, the road construction team will build a railway line from Tianjin City to Shanghai City, and when the harbor is completed, the Navy of the Iron Blood Army will also be transported here to explore the ocean.

It is much easier to explore the ocean than to explore the land, and he hopes to explore the planet faster with the power of the sea, starting with the coastline of each continent and then moving further inland.

For exploration in the land direction, it is necessary to rely on expeditions. The Chinese Consortium built a city every 1,500 kilometers, connected by rail, relying on these cities as a base, and a large number of supply points were distributed around, so that the expedition could radiate the entire continent when the supply was sufficient.

Under the personal command of Fang Xiaoyu, the development of the Regression Star by the China Consortium is proceeding at a high speed, and at this time, the Regression Star is more than 70 million kilometers away from Wangxiang Star, although Xiaofeng can still carry out the transmission of personnel and materials, but due to the distance and the angle of the planet, electronic communication has been very difficult.

The people of China Island, who don't care about the outside world, are wholeheartedly running the Return Star, this big and incredible new colony, and to Fang Xiaoyu's surprise, on this planet, Xiao Feng made a big discovery after using a fixed-point search.

Although due to Xiao Feng's scanning range getting bigger and bigger, Fang Xiaoyu's head became more and more painful after each search, just like this search, although it was only a rough search of the continental boundaries and mineral deposits on the planet, Fang Xiaoyu's head also hurt for a week, but this headache was completely unique, because Xiao Feng found a special coltan energy vein.

These veins are located in the mountains to the west, the roads are difficult to navigate, they are very far from the areas they have explored, and their burial depths are relatively deep, and they are difficult to excavate in a short time, but there is hope.

According to Xiao Feng, the pure coltan ore has very few reserves in the universe, and its coltan energy content is very high, almost ten thousand times higher than that of diamond, although due to the high energy activity of the ore vein, it interferes with the scanning effect, making it impossible to determine its true reserves in this scan, but Xiao Feng estimates that these ores explored alone are enough for him to directly rise to level ten. The Earth Federation should have also discovered this mineral deposit back then, because this is a strategic resource, so the official did not release the news immediately, and the military operation to capture Wangxiang Star should also be related to this mineral deposit.

Fang Xiaoyu was full of enthusiasm for Xiaofeng's inference, and the way home was finally coming to an end. Although he is not completely sure whether he can go home, as long as there is hope, Fang Xiaoyu will not give up, he will do his best to do his best, even if the ending is not perfect, he will never regret it.

The construction of the new colony of the Chinese Consortium is in full swing, and with the development of the expedition team, and the efforts of many subsequent geological exploration teams and biological expedition teams, various minerals are being discovered more and more.

The establishment of various mines, smelters, and machine factories has made a large number of machinery and building materials needed for the construction of the Return Star self-sufficient, which has also saved Xiaofeng a lot of time.

Cities, factories, schools, dormitories, and even commercial districts have been built, and this perfect colony has begun to take shape, and with the establishment of the city of Shanghai, the naval fleet and a large number of expedition ships have also gone to sea, and even the space launch center has been established, and the China Consortium Space Agency has prepared to launch synchronous satellites for the exploration and communication of the return satellite.

Just when the construction of the eleventh city on the return star was completed, the time had quietly entered 922, and for more than three years, the countries of the world had gradually come out of the shadow of the economic crisis, and at the same time, their armaments had reached an unbearable point.

There are three major alliances of countries in the entire world, and NATO is the most economically powerful, but because the NATO bloc has escaped the last economic crisis, there is no domestic demand to stimulate the economy, so it has not carried out large-scale military expansion.

In addition to the fact that the Axis powers, whose military strength is temporarily the strongest in terms of military expansion, the Allied bloc composed of the old powers is the weakest of the three major alliances, and because of this international situation, a debate within the Axis about the direction of waging war has begun.

The domestic part of the Axis was divided into two major factions, the navy and the army, of which the navy, on the grounds that NATO's economic strength was the strongest, believed that it should preemptively attack the NATO alliance before its military strength developed, relying on the navy to launch an attack from the eastern ocean, and strive to put the Empire of San Martin and the Chinese Empire to death.
