Chapter 261: The Road to Space City
Chapter 261: The Road to Space City
After hanging up the communication, little Alexios began to work again, he behaved calmly in front of Senator Ted, without the slightest flaw, but in fact he was almost driven crazy by these unfinished affairs, and there were thirty-two little suns, and the problems caused by these two fusion furnaces were enough for him to do.
The middle ring is now forcibly squeezing out so many people, being able to put everyone in place and give them enough food rations, this is already a miracle, and what to do next is even more difficult, it is simply a miracle of miracles, they must use the resources at hand to build a large number of giant thrusters, adjust the current position of the middle ring, and avoid it falling into the fate of Ganymede, which requires a lot of resources, and it is the resources that the eight-eyed spider has a headache for.
He didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the Middle Ring, although there had been a change of power, but communicating with those guys still made him feel uncomfortable, he would still be committed to keeping the Middle Ring independent, this freedom was not easy to come by, but for the sake of resources, he still had to trade with those people, the Middle Ring has a large number of collection satellites, those machines can capture precious resources from the atmosphere of Callisto, for the current Middle Ring, there is nothing more important than obtaining new resources.
At this time, they are still on the verge of dying, through various technical means, the time of the crash of the middle ring has been delayed a lot, from less than a month, to nearly half a year, but the means that the eight-eyed spider can use have also been exhausted, and if you want to completely get rid of this dead end, you can only cause enough large thrusters in this half a year......
That's a feat that the middle ring has never accomplished, as long as this series of work is done...... The Middle Ring will transform into a giant spaceship that can directly enter the low-altitude Callisto to collect resources, and even directly collect resources on the ground, which will be a turning point for the space city.
Of course, this is the eight-eyed spider's previous plan, their future is now in the hands of others, Sun Tan and his party's choice will change the fate of the space city in the future, if they really want to bring them back to Earth, the eight-eyed spider's plan will naturally be useless, but as he said, he is just ready for both.
Why do you do these things? He doesn't know how many people have asked him this question, everyone who is familiar with him knows what his character is, the savior of the end is not something he will do, the eight-eyed spider only does what he is sure of, but what he did after taking over the middle ring is not his original style at all, he is like a completely different person, he is more radical, more emotional and more attentive.
In fact, he was asking himself this question, and he didn't know when he changed his mind, maybe it was when Nep was desperate to rush to the outer ring, maybe it was when Nele smiled and picked up the lump of dirt, maybe it was when he saw countless people fighting to survive, or maybe it was just a mess he took on a whim after taking the last sip of wine from Earth.
In short, he did a good job, to everyone's surprise, and to his own surprise, looking back at what he had done, little Alexios felt a little incredible.
He dared to treat Ted like that for his own reasons, he actually had no fear, Ted had the information of those two people, and he had it, and it was more detailed than him, because Mark and Sun Tan had his people around him.
Nip has been operating with Mark and them after the end of the war, he was also wounded in the battle, and several other crew members were treated, the eight-eyed spider can grasp Mark's basic movements through him, and is also trying to rely on Nip to dig up some important news, but unfortunately Mark and Sun Tan are tight-lipped and have decided to wait for the reinforcements sent by Aske to arrive and talk, even if Nip asks them what their plans are, they don't answer a single useful word.
The eight-eyed spider is not in a hurry, anyway, his news must be better than that guy Ted, and that is enough.
Ted's side is also thinking about the future direction of the space city like him, the core area has been hit hard, although the population loss is not as great as the outer ring and the middle ring, but it is also difficult to recover, the eight-eyed spider Ted is still in his eyes, the other party has made many preparations, and what about himself...... Ted quickly called a meeting to gather all the senators, and he tried to keep a low profile this time without alarming Mark and his party.
After this disaster, there is less than one-fifth of the original number left in Xingyao City, even so, they still have a population of more than 100 million, and they know the difficulty of relocating if they think about it, but if they don't relocate...... If they stay here, they should move forward now.
Resources, resources......
Ted is also having the same headache as little Alexios, there is not an inch of land in the space city, all the resources have to be collected from the universe, although the population of the core area is not as large as the middle ring, but the technology system chain is much higher than the middle ring, and they need more rare materials, these things can only be said to be unattainable, even if a large number of mining satellites are used, whether these resources can be obtained from the planet is also unknown. All Ted could think of was a technological breakthrough, upgrading the collection satellite technology from the planet's atmosphere to Jupiter's nebula rings and asteroid belt.
While the meeting was hotly discussing the issue, they were interrupted by a loud noise coming from outside the building, which was well soundproofed and heavily guarded...... The sound was unusual, and Ted pushed away the crowd and trotted to the side of the building, where he saw that the top of the building outside was dyed with a faint blue glow.
A huge spaceship has approached the headspace of the city, the enemy of such a size is approaching, they actually have no reaction, the other party perfectly avoids the range of radar and optical detectors, or they have more superb stealth technology, the tail of the spaceship is sprayed with blue hot plasma, and the plasma plasma quickly dissipates into tiny blue light spots after leaving the thruster, Ted has seen Mark and their spaceship, the thruster is much the same, but the appearance of a super-large spaceship of this scale is really terrifying, Mark and the others had said that they had asked the fleet for help, but no one expected the fleet to come so quickly, nor did they expect that they would suddenly appear over the city.
