Mining for the entire asteroid cluster is estimated to take one year and three months. Wang Qian naturally couldn't watch it for so long, but the beginning of the mining was already very interesting.

"Look, the Star Fortress is already in action. A network of unmanned probes has divided the asteroid swarm into several parts. Wang Qian pointed to the interstellar fortress outside the observation platform and said.

Soon, the simultaneous broadcast of the mining process resounded in the observation platform.

"The gravitational network has been laid, and asteroid traction is about to begin."

"Let's take a look, the four interstellar fortresses have been linked to the gravitational network, and the next part of the asteroids will rise up to the asteroid group for further screening." Wang Qian said to Lele.

"Uh-huh." Lele nodded, Lele knew these processes better than Wang Qian, and Lele had already experienced them in the database several times.

Looking out from the viewing platform, four interstellar fortresses stand at four corners, enclosing an asteroid.

Then there was a loud bang in a part of the most superficial living area of Planet One, and a very large circular rift appeared from the surface that could be seen very clearly from the viewing platform.

This part is a military restricted area for surface living areas, and it is usually deserted.

In fact, there are many such areas in the entire Acting Planet 1 living area, and there are not many areas that are really used for human life.

The nine viewing platforms just enclosed the circular giant mouth on the surface in the middle, so Wang Gan's vision at this time was very good.

A white light lit up in the giant mouth, and then a pillar of light erupted, hitting the asteroid.

"The gravitational pipe has been laid, and the traction is about to begin." The viewing platform continues to broadcast.

Soon Wang Qian saw the effect of gravitational traction, and the asteroid as a whole began to move towards Agent Planet 1, and the four interstellar fortresses also maintained a formation to follow the movement.

The observation platform began to introduce: "There are 2,764 asteroids in total, and the effective weight after screening is about 40-500,000 tons. The total towing time is expected to be one hour and 16 minutes. ”

After about forty minutes, the asteroid has moved between the asteroid group and Agent Planet One.

At this time, the Star Fortress has a new action.

"The Star Fortress is about to open the gravitational screen, and there may be certain gravitational fluctuations at that time, please pay attention to the audience and do not run at will." The viewing platform is the first to issue a prompt.

In fact, Wang Qian didn't feel any fluctuations, the gravitational stabilization system of the viewing platform was always on, and when the gravitational screen was activated, the viewing platform would have additional protective measures, and it was just a body shape here.

At this time, the starfortress began to flash red light, and about five minutes later, the asteroid was in a commotion, and soon, some undesirable energy conversion furnaces demanded that the asteroid begin to move outward.

During this period, the asteroid also had some collisions, but it was still in gravitational traction and there were no major problems.

There are not many asteroids eliminated by gravitational sieves, and although the conversion rate of Byth's mass energy conversion furnace is not high, it is not too picky due to the nature of the conversion furnace.

In just a few moments, this asteroid has been screened, and Acting Planet 1 continues to pull.

This time, the traction was much faster, and after a while, Wang Qian and the others saw that this asteroid lined up and went deep into the inner energy zone through the giant mouth on the surface of Agent Planet 1.

And the four interstellar fortresses were not idle, they also launched gravitational traction after the traction led by Planet One, pushing the selected individual asteroids into the distance, so as not to affect the next mining operations.

"You see, I'm going to say there's something wrong with the current architecture of the proxy planets.

Even if only a devouring interface is set up in the lower layer of the living area, the mining efficiency of the proxy planet will be much higher, and when the time comes, let alone this asteroid group, the smaller planets can be slowly swallowed. Jasmine said suddenly.

"The last time I looked at the materials related to interstellar mining, I found that four hundred years ago, there was a wandering planet with a very good composition that passed by our flight path of Beit.

At that time, there was also a proposal to swallow the planet, and even the implementation plan was given. One is to retrofit Agent 1, and the other is to use gravitational bombs to blow up the wandering planet.

With a two-pronged approach, the proxy planet can completely absorb the wandering planet, and even if it can't absorb it completely, it must be no problem to take its essence. Jasmine continued.

"But in the end, the government rejected the plan on the grounds of safety risks and the availability of energy at the time, which was really inactive. The proxy planet has plenty of energy, but it's not rich.

Whether it's a virtual space or a pokemon, it's not a big energy consumer, not to mention the energy consumption of research. ”

This time, this group of children did not object, they were all discussing this issue enthusiastically, and even Wang Qian couldn't help but think that if Bait chose to absorb the wandering planet at that time, maybe Lele would have more computing resources now.

A few children chatted passionately while watching the interstellar mining, watched several waves of proxy planets devouring asteroids, and ate on the viewing platform. And that day passed.

In fact, interstellar mining is a very boring thing, just now Wang Qian has seen all the mining processes, fixed, traction, screening, and devouring. This cycle continues, and the straight path completes the devouring of all the asteroids that meet the conditions for devouring.

After eating, several children also said goodbye one after another and returned to their families.

"Lele, what did you say would have happened if Bait had chosen to devour that wandering planet at that time." On the way, Wang Qian asked Lele.

"Well, according to the plan that was announced at the time, even if the most rapid devouring scheme was chosen, the entire devouring process would take fifty years to complete a relatively complete process of approaching, devouring, and disengagement.

After the devouring is completed, the empire's energy reserves will indeed be greatly enriched, and it will only be a drop in the bucket for the research of the entire empire, and the research focus of the empire at that time is not in this area.

At that time, it was a juncture in the cultivation technology of the artificial intelligence stage, and it was about to break through the bottleneck, so the empire did not devour the wandering planet in the end. Lele said.

"I see, Lele is so smart." Wang Qian encouraged at the right time.

When Wang Qian found Wang's father and Wang's mother, they were chatting with two men dressed as researchers.

"Uncle Li is good, Uncle Feng is good." Wang Qian stepped forward to greet him.

These two people know Wang Gan, and they are in the same research institute as Wang's father. However, the scope of the study is somewhat different.

"Wang Qianhao, is this your little elf Lele? It's so cute. The two researchers greeted each other.

After a while, the children of the two of them also came to find them.

After another round of greetings, the two families were ready to go home.

Also riding this aircraft, the family is the same as when they came, with three seats and a round table. Smoothly descend straight to your own doorstep.

"By the way, Dad, Uncle Feng is a mid-level artificial intelligence, isn't he?" Wang Qian seemed to remember something and asked.

"yes, I told you before. How, curious? Dad Wang smiled.

"That's not true, it's just that I thought of this just now when I saw that Uncle Li knew Lele's name. And Lele just told me that I was there, I'm just checking again. ”

"They got married 36 years ago, and there were people in the courtyard who matched them at that time." Dad Wang said a little more about the couple.
