Every reaper reaper is a large-scale plunder of the entire civilized world. Not only the technological aspects, but also the substances that the reapers can use, are all within the realm of plundering - although there are not too many substances that they can use. Later generations only saw a large number of empty cities after the massacre, abandoned on a civilized planet and increasingly deserted, and then completely swallowed up by the river of time.

I didn't see that the Reaper had taken something with them - biological organic matter, scarce metals, and Element Zero.

How much Element Zero the Reaper snatched, I'm afraid even the Reaper himself can't figure it out. Element Zero is contained in meteorites after the supernova explosion, which is a way to make it, so its reserves should theoretically be unlimited.

However, Element Zero itself is very difficult to mine and refine, just like the home planet of the Asari Sesia is a planet rich in Element Zero. Since the beginning of civilization, the Asari have a record of mining and using Element Zero - in fact, the reason why the Asari have become a powerful race with both longevity and supernatural talent is inseparable from the fact that they have been irradiated by Element Zero throughout their evolutionary history.

But since 50,000 years ago, when the Protheans were still around, the Asari began to use the Element Zero. But until this round of harvest was about to begin, the Element Zero resources on the shallow surface of Sesia were still unmined and exhausted - 50,000 years had passed! The difficulty of mining and refining element zero can be seen. Even so, the Asari are still the largest race in the entire galaxy with the largest number of Elemental Zero holdings—which is why they have the resources to build a ship as gigantic as the Destiny Transcendent.

But compared to the Reapers, the reserves of the Asari are nothing. For 50 million years. Almost every generation of civilization that has advanced to the top, their zero elemental reserves will end up in the hands of the reapers. So, why is the shell of the Reaper battleship so hard? Because their Mass Effect cores are always more than a dozen times larger than ordinary warships. Or even dozens of times the size! This advantage is simply natural, and no one can compare with it.

Now, at least half of the resources have been pooled into the hands of the Dawn through these wreckage. Therefore, in the whole war, the greatest wealth obtained by the Dawn was not the 300 intact "Overlord"-class battleships—the Dawn had its own "Xiaoyue-class" and "Chaoyang-class" designs, and the "Overlord-class" battleships were not in their eyes—but the wreckage and Element Zero left behind after the more than 20,000 battleships were destroyed!

With this batch of resources. The Dawn can finally embark on her super-sized shipbuilding project!

Lu Yuan uses the mirror created by the portal magic as a boundary between the real world and the netherworld. It's the same as in Pirates of the Caribbean, where Colybso uses the surface of the ocean as the dividing line. It's just that the scale has been magnified hundreds of millions of times.

Now the No. 2 blue giant star has been dragged into the netherworld, and because of its twin relationship with the No. 1 blue giant, it happens to become a projection of the material world in the netherworld; In contrast, Blue Giant Star 1 also becomes a reflection of the Netherworld in the physical world. So the moment Hades was established. Blue Juan No. 1 suddenly increased its brightness by several astronomical levels! This sudden increase in brightness is like a supernova explosion. In an instant, it became the protagonist of the entire starry sky, and attracted the attention of the whole world.

All the operations of the Mothership Dawn are carried out in the bright light of the No. 1 blue giant, just like looking directly at the sun will not see sunspots, and there is no trace of the Dawn when observing the blue giant. However, this eruption will not last long, and after a dozen hours at most, the brightness of Blue Giant Star 1 will drop back and eventually stabilize at an increase of two magnitudes. By then, if Dawn had remained in the Spear Galaxy. will have to be exposed to the world......

And the Mothership Dawn is taking advantage of the time difference of these few hours to clean up the battlefield with all its might. Fortunately, Lu Yuan had been prepared for a long time. With the return of the "Matrix" sweeper, the speed of cleaning suddenly accelerated.

More than 300 "Overlord" class warships were towed back intact, like tuna stored in cold storage, and neatly placed into the "Matrix 23" ship, so that a sweeper could load all 300 warships and have a surplus; Larger pieces of the wreckage of battleships that are not easy to decompose, directly attached to large electromagnets, are attached to the surface of the "matrix" ship. Disguise yourself with some meteorites and dirt and carry it across the galaxy without being discovered; Tens of billions of mechanical spiders toiled tirelessly, and countless wrecks eventually turned into pieces of metal that were placed in the warehouse, and these materials had even been processed in the basics;

And the most important element of Zero is solemnly stored in the dimensional world attached to the "New Alona"! Unless you can destroy the walls of the world, it's the safest warehouse in the world.

……

"Developed!" Anne's eyes lit up a little;

"Developed!" Zhao Min sat on the sofa with relief;

"Developed", in the spirit of building a building, Yakumo repeated with a smile;

"It's developed." Even Li Huamei, who was hundreds of light years away, knew those numbers, and she smiled at the camera and read such a sentence vulgarly......

After the harvest of the battlefield was announced, the whole mothership was filled with jubilation, like a festival.

It is believed that this specially recorded video will become an unforgettable memory on the Dawn. Not counting a fraction, this time 3.77 billion units of element zero were collected; Not to mention the 17.5 billion tons of decomposed and undecomposed materials, of which the proportion of rare metals is as high as 13%! This is a strategic resource that can't be bought no matter how many Star Coins you have, and the Dawn can really be called a rich country at this moment!

With sufficient resources, coupled with the mature industrial manufacturing system on the Mothership Dawn, the Dawn can finally achieve its ambitions.

"Don't forget, we still have an asteroid that we haven't received." Lady Dawn rejoiced for a while, then took out another star map and said. The asteroid Brace in the Formmore Belt located in the Callestone system, but Lu Yuan spent a lot of money to buy it from the Star Alliance, and it also contains a large amount of element zero. If Dawn hadn't been able to harvest enough resources in this battle, the dwarf planet Brace would have been the basis for their plans for the next phase.

And the Dawn's shattered star mining method is thousands of times more efficient than ordinary mining companies. Of course, even if they take out their methods, others can't imitate them - first of all, they have to have a main gun as powerful as the Dawn......

"Take it with you when you leave." Zhao Min calculated the location and course of the dwarf planet Brace, and then said with some greed. Drop it no matter what's impossible. Thanks to the dismantling and decipherment of the main-stage Mass Effect repeater, Dawn has a good technical reserve for the large-scale use of Element Zero. This will help them to make the Mass Effect Core larger, and even multi-core parallel, which means that the ship itself will be larger and larger in the future - so the more Element Zero and the more basic material reserves the better.

Zhao Min took out the new star map, and then passed a copy of the information to everyone. "This is Lu Yuan's next step, and this will be our new home...... While we were fighting, Mu Xing had already laid the first ground stake. ”

"It's so ordinary... It's too ordinary... It's still too ordinary...", a quick glance at the pictures on the computer, Monica subconsciously whispered.

As a newly promoted director of news for a television network, it was very difficult for her to subdue the subordinates left behind by her predecessor and straighten out the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the department - quite challenging, according to the official word.

But in any case, it is still the first step to make a good result.

With her connections to the military (the connections she built up when she was last forcibly drafted to the Gagarin space station), Monica learned the details of the Citadel War through internal channels as soon as the Fifth Fleet lifted the communications blockade, which gave her first-hand information. Therefore, she took the lead in reporting on the Battle of the Fortress and made a beautiful start.

Next, of course, it is necessary to take advantage of the victory.

The current hot spots are "Battle of the Citadel" and "Binary Aberration". Now that the "Battle of the Sacred Citadel" has begun to enter the post-disaster reconstruction report, the heat has decreased. Then Monica's focus will naturally come to another hot spot, "Double Star Mutation". What she is watching now is a picture of the incident. Some were taken from military observation stations, and some were taken by ordinary astronomy enthusiasts, and they were collected into her hands through multiple channels.

However, the subjects of these pictures are suddenly brightened blue giants, huge white vortices like entire galaxies, and the "disappearance of the research ship" sent to the Lance galaxy to detect a few days ago...... To be honest, these pictures are honestly too ordinary, and the content on them is all seen by the audience - although fried cold rice is also a solution, but at the moment they do not meet Monica's needs.

"I need more shocking news...... Monica stopped halfway through. Her eyes were firmly drawn to the photo in front of her! "What's that?"

This is a special effects photo of Blue Giant, which captures only a quarter of Blue Giant's body. The blue giant star is located on the lower right side of the picture and occupies about half of the entire image. Then there is the gushing blue corona, the upper layer of luminous ions, and then the far-reaching universe...... The whole picture is very beautiful and visually impactful! But Monica doesn't focus on that......

Her eyes were obscured by a layer of blue ions, a slightly dull patch of color—it looked like a stain. But Monica knew that no one would dare to send her a photo of the treatment or contamination! Unless you want to be recourse to tens of thousands of claims.

She opened the graphics processing software, enlarged the image, interpolated it, and then enlarged it again......

Finally, her eyes widened in surprise!

A space station as huge as a citadel was revealed.
