The asteroid belt has become more lively, and as the most promising development site in the heart of the solar system, it is home to 300 large and small spaceships.

Riding the Queen Nana here, Cao Chuan's field of vision, due to the rapid expansion of the 024 port, the vast urban area is occupied by large and small forces, coupled with the fact that the 13-nation alliance of Europa is also mixed in the area, there is obviously a feeling of getting out of control.

"It seems to be more than 300 years ago in Boston, where Native Americans, New World immigrants, and native European forces competed with each other and eventually broke up. But now is not the past after all, even if the polar bear country is unfavorably controlled, first, it did not adopt an oppressive way of exploitation, and second, it sent a large number of troops early to suppress it, at most, it made Port 024 chaotic. ”

Looking at the area within a radius of 30 million kilometers of Ceres, hundreds of asteroids are very quiet, and there are large and small bases, the largest of which is the size of a town, thousands of immigrants, and the number of 100 or 200 immigrants in small points is quite a lot, all of which were transported by one or two small spaceships with the help of towing spaceships.

Most of them do not have the signboard of the country, but write that they belong to a company, or even an individual, anyway, the asteroid belt has never had an owner, even if it is a polar bear country, and in the face of their horse racing behavior, they can only choose to ignore it.

Such a relaxed development environment has made the throughput of 024 port more than 1,000 tons a day, and from the value point of view, it has reached one-tenth of the value of the maritime throughput of the night rabbit country, even if there is still a gap of several 0 in terms of volume.

It is hard to imagine that such a development figure was done in two years, and without the help of towing ships, the time would have stretched to 5, 10, or even longer.

If a radius of 30 million kilometers centered on Port 024 is a safe zone in the asteroid belt, 30 million kilometers away will be a real chaotic place.

In addition to the terrorists who have long been entrenched here, there are also those who are ambitious and do not want to get too close to the traditional sphere of influence of the Polar Bear Nation to settle here.

Asteroid 67, located 35 million kilometers from Ceres, is remote and inhospitable, but after the discovery of precious rare earth resources and a large amount of underground solid ice, it has maintained a fairly good momentum of development and even has a good independence.

As a descendant of the famous Venetian merchants, Anotidan was very interested in restoring the glory of his ancestors, and did not completely regard this place as an overseas frontier belonging to Italy, but wanted to become his own private property.

Relying on his domestic connections, he has got a lot of unemployed people with mafia status, which is easy to manage, as long as they provide drugs, alcohol, and even women, it is enough for them to work well without arguing all day long.

"Thank you so much to the East Galaxy Company!" Although Inotidan's net worth is more than 20 billion, he still maintains his awe of the East Galaxy Company, and believes that Cao Chuan will be very happy if he learns about it, and they have a firm supporter.

"Without them, I wouldn't have been able to get three ships in a short period of time."

Looking at the ship-based docked in the dilapidated harbor, he showed the expression of a loving father looking at his beloved daughter, the spaceship was his most precious treasure, like those captains who crisscrossed the seas, without which they were nothing.

There is also a factory buried underground, and the wealthy Ainotidan directly built a fusion energy reactor, relying on the infinite electricity provided by helium-3, his immigrants can mine at will all day and night, so that he even feels like he can hollow out the entire planet.

He suddenly remembered: "Even these fusion energy reactors are produced by the East Galaxy Company. ”

Of course, there are more small things, such as the experts from the training camp who specialize in guiding the work of immigrants, and the unmanned unit for police standby, which is also a specialty of the East Galaxy Company, because it is so subtle that even Inotidan can't remember it clearly.

Just as he was feeling this heavenly time, an alarm sounded outside.

"Damn! Those star thieves again! ”

With the resurgence of the area and the resurgence of the vanished terrorists due to the redevelopment of Ceres, it may be more appropriate to call them Star Thieves, as their goal is more money, and they are always looking to snatch it back.

How could Inotidan succumb so easily, relying on a bunch of thugs with "gunfight" experience, they fought back and forth with those star thieves, and it almost became a routine every other week, two weeks.

The smoke of gunfire has stained this remote place with a touch of blood, and in the asteroid belt, there are many similar places, such as asteroid 044, which has recently been quietly occupied by the Free Lighthouse State.

Probably in consideration of the strong domestic production capacity, according to estimates, the manufacture of more than 20 small spacecraft will be completed by the end of this year, and it is a bit wasteful to meet the needs of the Martian Zero Point Port alone.

The sub-base on asteroid 044 is mainly from Silicon Valley investment, investors include Intel, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and other well-known large companies, only because of the discovery of extremely pure silicon compounds on the asteroid, pure crystal structure, which can be used to study the next generation of chips in the computer field, and are favored.

There is an advanced vacuum processing plant within the base, and several production lines are constantly in operation, continuously producing chips, chipsets, and integrated circuits that are used in computers and electronic equipment.

Merchants who have switched to the planetary star trade will visit this place regularly, selling the advanced chips they manufacture to distant places to sell.

What they don't know is that another asteroid, less than 1 million kilometers away, is the territory of the old rival Sinai Thought Alliance, whose oil business was severely hit by the spread of fusion energy a few years ago, but it also allows them to throw off the burden of the past and stop being watched by the free beacon state for the time being.

There is no collar in the throat, so after all these years of development, the Sinai Thought Alliance has shown signs of rising, eager to restore the great glory of the Ottoman Empire through the exploration of the planet.

The asteroid they occupy is rich in all kinds of conventional metals, rare metals, and is a good choice for the Sinai Ideological Alliance, which has a single resource distribution.

Unfortunately, when they discovered that there was a sub-base of the Lighthouse Nation nearby, they immediately launched a mad dog-like harassment operation against the Lighthouse Nation.

Relying on technicians, we can make a number of missiles that can take a month or two to travel to an area of 1 million kilometers, even if half of the missiles will explode in the process, or drift no longer work, as long as one or two of them explode at the destination, it can bring great pressure to the lighthouse nation.
