Chapter 479: Acetitanium Planet
Through the electromagnetic gravitational field, the distances separated by tens of hundreds, or even thousands of light years, are folded through the directional folding of dimensions, so that the spacecraft can reach the target instantly.
Although some cyberists have vaguely revealed that the starship reached the Martial Emperor Galaxy through the stargate jumps again and again, this kind of unbelievable-sounding whimsy was still called "ridiculous nonsense" by the Yashen Cult hundreds of years ago.
When humanity's first exploration airship passed through the Anubis Gate, arrived almost instantaneously in the Friga galaxy fifty light-years away, and successfully returned, all skepticism was silenced.
With the exception of the Craig sect, which embraced isolationism and tried to dissuade large-scale colonization, the Cult of Yahweh was generally supportive of the Federal Development Agency's plan to colonize the planet.
Because these believers believe that it is the power of God that creates these incomprehensible stargates, allowing manned spacecraft to pass through unscathed, and rapidly advance cognition into the vast universe. And God's purpose is obvious, that is, to spread His miracles all over the barren galaxy with human believers as propagators.
There has always been a huge disagreement among human space physicists and historians about the construction and timing of the stargate.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, the ancient civilization 'Ascension' left hundreds of millions of 'civilization relics' because of the characteristics of the metal relics. They rightfully claim to be the gatemakers of what human historians have identified, but space physicists disagree with the extremely weak attenuation effect of the Astral Dream's electromagnetic field. They believe that the birth of the massive stargate should be older than the relics of the Ascension that can detect specific annual rings. Perhaps long before the Ascended civilization, they existed for a long time.
There are even famous scholars who have put forward the theory that many star gates were produced during the Big Bang, a theory that is spurned by most sane people, but is vigorously touted by Yahwehists.
The elders of the sect preached to the believers, proving the existence of God by the non-human actions of the Star Gate, and questioning the people, if not miracles, what power could produce eternal energy out of thin air; If it wasn't a miracle, then why did the stargate disappear in a lifeless, empty galaxy?
For this far-fetched but plausible theory, there was a fierce debate in the early days of the human federation.
The physicist used the faint attenuation of the electromagnetic gravitational field to confirm the fallacy of the Yahwegian Cult about the eternal stargate.
Spatial geographers have used a large number of barren and lifeless star systems to prove that the location of the stargate is a 'chosen' absurd theory.
However, after many years, with the discovery and extension of new elements, the development of utility and corresponding technical fields, and the provision of Unit's mineral exploration technology, these galaxies, which were originally in the list of 'evidence', have discovered a large number of effective mineral deposits suitable for the development of civilization.
The Yahwegians rejoiced in this, and each discovery of a planet in the list strengthened their faith.
Geologists scoffed at this, and they retaliated against the believers who tried to convert them with the theory that 'a few pieces of gold can always be dug up from any mountain'.
In Federal 311, a geophysical exploration team of the United Nations Development Agency discovered the largest deposit of ethovskite to date on the planet Cadmus, which had been on the barren list for a long time. As the centuries-old debate over the origin of stargates finally came to an end, Yu Juqian, president of the Federal Academy of Sciences and a well-known astrophysicist in the city, said in a speech at an important scientific summit:
Whoever built these gates, which the scientific community still cannot understand, must have a 'choice', at least under the premise of the galactic environment and the level of development of technological civilization at that time.
And the galaxies listed today are located where the lifeless and useless stargates are located may become another irreplaceable treasure house for the development of civilization in the near future.

June 22, 363 Golden Shining Sun
Today Terry told me that the heavy drill rig was in trouble deep in the rock formation, and all the drill bits of various sizes were replaced, but they were all badly deformed.
Jensen of the Supplies Depot. Blake said at dinner that because of the complexity of the geological structure, the originally expected mining progress is now less than one-tenth of complete, and the stock of superalloy drill bits has been depleted, and it is waiting for another replenishment of the supply ship in half a month.
The slow progress has made the base's top management restless, and in the past two days, it has been common to see the director of the Mining Bureau, Jared . Holland was scolding his men, and the miners seemed to be depressed.
Hopefully, they will still pay us as scheduled.
I needed the money, and it was the only proof I had to prove to Daisy that I loved her and cared for her.
I know it's silly and philistine, but I'm just a farmer, right?
Croppers who work with nitrogen, vermiculite, and wheat seeds......
……
"A laid-back colonial life that turned a bunch of fools into idiots......" Steven muttered as he left Kevin's office.
It may sound like a lot of truth to do your job and do your job, but in the small force field of Cadmus that is only a block or two away, there's really not much that anyone can do.
The reserves of acetinovskite are the largest in the whole league, and the reserves of various derivative minerals are also amazing, but these valuable things are located deep in the planet's crust.
Underground acid gas, a high-heat gaseous ore that can melt drilling equipment into a puddle of molten steel, magma gushing out at any time, underground plate structures that move non-stop, and rock formations that are as hard as diamonds. The constant flow of unexpected events has caused headaches for even mining companies with state-of-the-art Unity mining equipment.
Accidents are frequent, disasters are continuous, mineral mining plans are postponed, and the performance completion rate has plummeted. The person in charge of the base, who manages hundreds of miners, deliberately conceals and falsifies the black veil on his head and the generous bonuses and bonuses, and reports to the UNDP Minerals Bureau are trivial and insignificant. Only when there are really serious casualties, can there be no choice but to write an accident report.
Fortunately, the Better of Tomorrow company, which owns the mining rights, has a solid foundation and enough patience for the slow progress of the planet's development, and the supervisors they sent have accepted large bribes from the mining company, and they have only turned a blind eye to the chaos on the base.
On the premise that their superiors are not urgent, they are happy to open the door of convenience, and the difficult mining plan is so unhurriedly dragged on day after day.
