Chapter 142: Savings
During the week that the two African Brotherhood spacecraft stayed in the asteroid belt development site, the city entered the stage of building a defense system, including-
There are 120 unmanned outposts, and the asteroid 666 is extremely small, so many unmanned outposts can easily cover the entire planet, and even like a planet fortress, it can launch intensive strikes against even dozens of incoming spacecraft.
Then there are the arrival and exercise of the armed forces stationed there, their total number is 1,000 people, and the configuration of weapons and equipment is the same as that of the security of the three major fleets, and the reason why there are so many is that they have to be responsible for the development of a radius of 10 million kilometers, and there are not enough manpower to be easily harassed by the enemy, and the multi-point invasion tactics make them tired to deal with.
In addition, the original purpose of the launch was to replace several shoddy month-by-month spaceships produced by East Galaxy Company in the initial stage from 2023 to 2025.
Therefore, don't look at it as an improved version of the moon-by-month spaceship, there are many changes compared to the original moon-by-month spaceship, such as the equipment that collects solar wind energy in the universe, which can increase the range by an additional 50% and the speed by 20%.
After the preparation of the defense system is completed, in order to make the development system start running quickly and make money, the development department has reached a consensus after an internal meeting to speed up the progress.
Hesim was arranged to receive the 1,000 pioneers who had just been transported by the Hengyue-class spacecraft, and the 1,000 pioneers who had just set off from the Earth training camp, and they didn't understand anything, and the internal forces were even more chaotic, and the advantage was that they were short-sighted and would not make all kinds of requests.
The Hengyue-class ship also includes another 300 immigrants to fill the city's population, and with the services provided by these people, the development department can focus on what they need to manage.
Tsushimamo received two other groups of forces within the frontier that came to hear the news, one of them readily agreed, pulling a small force of 200 people below him to join in, and another force strongly opposed, but it had no intention of withdrawing.
Huang Youxin had a headache thinking about how to deal with it, "Dare to run around within the scope of our East Galaxy Company, do you really want to tolerate it?" He thought angrily, but even he wasn't particularly sure that they had a way to track each other's locations, knowing that each asteroid would have a different orbit, so it would be a thankless task to find an asteroid in a starry asteroid belt, especially a lesser-known one.
"Anyway, when the frontier side has some manpower, let me think about how to deal with you!" Huang Youxin still clearly expressed his attitude, and it is unknown whether his proposal will be accepted by other employees in the development department.
Tetsuki Yoshimune, who was transferred from the support department, is now also an employee of the development department, and he spends his days in a spaceship conducting geological surveys of the asteroids around the development site, and the area they chose is full of treasures like a large ball of raw ore because of the large number of metal asteroids.
However, if it is just a big iron ball, the development value is not great, only those asteroids rich in rare metals are really valuable, he has to find some information in advance, provide corresponding map guidance, so as not to waste time when a large number of pioneers who don't know anything rush headlong into worthless asteroids.
Another week passed, and it was time to plan and announce the official opening time of the development site, and because of the advance notice, most of the pioneers gathered here to prepare for the ceremony.
As a woman, she is much more attractive than a man, so throughout the ceremony, the audience's eyes are always focused on her.
"After a three-month preparation period, the construction of the city where the East Galaxy Company has developed in the asteroid belt has been completed, and we have 1,500 registered pioneers, which will increase to 10,000 in the next six months..."
"East Galaxy Company will continue to provide advanced products, services, safety and technical support for all pioneers, let us work together to develop the asteroid belt!"
After countless likes, a ceremony similar to that of the moon was over, and the pioneers who had already divided the forces returned to the ship, many of them were about to embark on the first planetary exploration in their lives, going to an unknown asteroid for 5 years or more.
With more than 10 spaceships burrowing into the pitch-black and boundless universe, waiting for the Pioneer Department below is to watch the development of the Pioneer in the asteroid belt, where the environment is more complex and more tempting, even if 1,500 Pioneers, less than half of the time of the trial operation, their influence can be much greater.
A week later, Connor's 2 spacecraft returned to the base 1.8 million kilometers away, the interior of the base is quite large, and the structure is very complex, and you can even see schools, observatories, and other facilities that normal bases don't bother to build.
Because Connor has his own ambitions, he hopes to build this place into a second home for all African people, a place with vitality and potential, and a place that will drive backward Africa to take off, so he will build so many unnecessary facilities.
They brought back a lot of unexpected good things, one is intangible knowledge, which will be applied to the construction of their industrial system and the training of the next generation through several employees who have studied learning equipment.
There are more than 50 12 and 13-year-old teenagers in the school at the base, and their three views have not yet been finalized, so they have stronger plasticity, and will be transformed by such a harsh environment, becoming hard-working, persevering and brave, and inheriting the dream that may take several generations of hard work to achieve.
The other is a batch of high-tech products that Connor got from the East Galaxy Company after gaining an in-depth understanding of the development system, mainly various drugs for the treatment of cosmic diseases, and even secret activation drugs.
"Hurry up, I hope the time will come in time!" Connor instructed, "Give the activation potion to the wounded compatriots and see if they can save their lives and mutilated limbs." ”
When Connor heard that the activation potion had a way to make human wounds and disabilities heal more quickly or even recover completely, he immediately thought of the compatriots in the base who were suffering from their wounds, and did everything he could to exchange for a batch, hoping that it would come in handy.
