After the mining ship captures the asteroid, it quickly cuts and packs it inside the ore compartment.

The mining spacecraft of Mars Collar are all produced by The Paper, which is currently the largest mining spacecraft, which can transport 8 million tons of ore at one time, and some smaller asteroids cannot reach this quality.

Chang Dashan, who was not far away, looked at the star map, and was very surprised that the mining spacecraft of the Mars Territory was all sized and swallowed, and what type of asteroid was swallowed in one bite, after all, ice-soil asteroids were not worth anything at all, was it necessary to mine them back?

However, this is an official act, and he does not dare to talk nonsense, the official always has an official purpose.

Soon, in less than two hours or so, more than a dozen Martian Territory mining spacecraft were fully loaded and returned in the direction of Mars.

Propelled at 3% of the speed of light, 12 mining spacecraft were fully loaded, carrying 96 million tons of ore, and Kishimoto Zhengshi, which had been prepared for a long time, allowed the mining spacecraft to unload the ore at the designated location.

A spaceship is ready to drop the ring-shaped tree seeds on the ore, and then the activated ring-shaped tree seeds grow wildly, but this crazy growth is according to the predetermined framework.

By simulating the parameters with a supercomputer, these ring trees are connected to form a huge pipeline with a length of 96 kilometers and a radius of 300 meters.

In order to prevent the orbit of the ring tree from crashing out of control into the Martian ground, other spacecraft quickly approached and installed ion engines and nuclear fusion reactors in the ring tree pipeline, so that the orbit of the ring tree pipe could be corrected.

This is really fast, and during the Spring Festival, a ring-shaped tree pipeline with a length of more than 3,000 kilometers has been built, which is part of the orbital ring of Mars.

The construction of the first equatorial pillar is almost complete, and the construction work is proceeding in an orderly manner, supported by the mining spacecraft and the mineral resources of Mars itself.

Sara and Fang Ping took the Flying Shark Automatron this time and came to the construction site of the equatorial pillar, the construction site of the equatorial pillar, and the equatorial pillar was already towering into the sky at this time.

The two of them stood on the upper deck of the Flying Shark Automatron and looked at the sky above, even with the enhanced eyesight, they still couldn't see the top of the equatorial pillar clearly, and as for the orbital ring on the top, it was even more difficult to see, and a thin line could be vaguely seen circling on it.

The area at the base of the equatorial pillar is significantly wider than the general equatorial ring, and it looks like a large area of silver-gray continuously.

"Connecting the vacuum railway of Equatorial City, so that it is convenient to communicate the three places of Equatorial Pillar, Equatorial City and Utopia City." Fang Ping said as he recorded his thoughts.

"District Chief Fang's idea is very good." Sara nodded.

Fang Ping suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reminded: "By the way, Sarah, you Equatorial City have to build a few new reservoirs, otherwise it will be a big trouble for the population to increase in the future, and there are a lot of water resources left over from those asteroids these days, you can take the opportunity to plan more underground reservoirs." ”

"Okay, I'll write it down." Sara also opened the holographic bracelet and recorded the incident in a memo.

The Flying Shark Mechanical Beast slowly approached the equatorial pillar, as it approached the equatorial pillar, Fang Ping knew that this thing was huge, in order to enhance the strength and stability, the equatorial pillar at the bottom was very thick, and the radius of the bottom cross-section was at least about 10 times that of the top, and then gradually shrank as the height increased.

The two of them descended from the Flying Shark Mecha and entered the interior of the equatorial pillar, which is an empty pipe, which can be transformed into a space elevator, and of course, if it is transformed into a mass projector.

The advantages of the space elevator are comfort and liftability, while the mass projector is fast, but can only go out in one direction, both have their own advantages.

However, Fang Ping and Sara tend to mass projectors, mainly for strengthened people equipped with genetic armor, even if they don't have an anti-load cabin, they can withstand an acceleration of about 200G, because genetic armor can adjust the body's resistance by itself.

In this way, the comfort of the space elevator is dispensable, and it is worth considering the aspect of being able to return from space to the ground, perhaps in the future, the mass projector as a way to leave the ground, and the space elevator as a way to enter the ground, the two can complement each other.

The Sosi people are even more experienced in this area, and they generally use the arrangement scheme of the projector in the outer elevator.

A number of space elevator cables are laid outside the equatorial pillars, and although the outside of the equatorial pillars is large at the bottom and small at the top, this does not affect the use of the space elevator; The mass projector is built inside the equatorial pillar, so there is no conflict between the two, and since the height of the equatorial pillar has reached about 1,200 kilometers, there is no need to seal the top exit.

"It seems that the difficulty of the equatorial pillars is more difficult than that of the empty and terrestrial rings." As soon as Fang Ping walked out of the equatorial pillar, he sighed.

"That is, the air ring can be built using asteroid resources, the microgravity environment of space has general requirements for the raw materials of the structure, and the earth ring can be combined with the ground, only the pillar is very strong due to the influence of the planet's gravity and its own mass." Sara nodded back.

"Blackie, come back." Fang Ping shouted loudly into the distance.

Suddenly, the Black Panther Mechanical Beast, which was spreading joy in the distance, sensed the call of its master and hurriedly ran back to Fang Ping's side.

"Speaking of which, the mechanical beast breeding industry can also become the pillar industry of Mars, and the alliance now has a lot of mechanical beast enthusiasts, so it is better to hold some mechanical beast fighting competitions or sports meetings and the like, which can attract some blue star tourists to come." Fang Ping suddenly proposed.

"Huh?" Sara thought about this proposal for a moment, and nodded back, "The Automaunia Games and Fighting Tournaments were very popular in the Zi Star Era, but few people in our generation know about it anymore. ”

Fang Ping touched Xiao Hei's head: "I see, then you can arrest this matter, which is conducive to the promotion and industrialization of mechanical beasts." ”

"No problem." Sara hurriedly recorded this incident in the memo, and now the Republic of Helik has changed from the previous centralized public ownership to mixed ownership, and with the privatization of many things, the social system of the wandering era of the Sothians has begun to fall apart.

For example, in the past, due to the decline in fertility, in order to increase the population, they did not have a real family concept, and the union of men and women was uniformly arranged, but now this concept is being broken, and the concept of small family is being formed.

And the formation of small families is to produce a situation of privatization, in this case, a part of the Sos people must be self-reliant, Sara is also worried about the employment of the Sos people these days, those scientific researchers have the salary of the Union, don't worry, but among the Sos, there are still some workers and the old, weak, sick and disabled, he must arrange this part of the people properly.

If tourism and the mechanical and animal industries can be developed, this will be beneficial to the internal employment arrangements of the Republic of Helik.

The two of them returned to the Flying Shark Automatron and headed for the canyon area of Mariner's Canyon, where they were going to investigate.
