Chapter 140: Circled
At least in the eyes of the employees of the East Galaxy Company, there is a consensus that the stage for the real promotion of the development system and making a name for itself should be the vast hinterland of the solar system, not the moon at the doorstep.
As the trial operation phase came to an end, the employees of the development department hurriedly prepared for the next stage of the development system, which was the asteroid belt.
The total population of the asteroid belt is currently 100,000, and the number of asteroids in development is estimated to be close to 500, but compared to the entire star structure that stretches for 1.5 billion kilometers, the territory occupied by humans is very small, and there is absolutely enough space for development and a large number of people.
"That's it!" Huang Youxin, an employee of the development department, looked at the map of the solar system with great ambition, and took the Hengyue-class spacecraft that had just left the factory, which was made by applying new technologies and new materials in the past year, and the comprehensive performance was significantly improved compared with the past, and the speed had increased to 350 km/s, aiming at the asteroid belt.
This time, they are not going to visit, but to have a great mission, to demarcate a place in the asteroid belt for the pioneers to explore.
Looking at the asteroid No. 666, with this place as the center, the universe with a radius of 10 million kilometers was all included in the scope of the exploration area, although this place has long been entrenched, the number is not very large, and it is not very powerful, when the time comes, maybe it will be absorbed by them.
"Get to work!" Huang Youxin scolded below, a huge base planning blueprint that has been prepared for a long time, with an area of more than 500,000 square meters, at least 10,000 people, the main energy comes from fusion energy power stations, as well as gas mine power stations, through the artificial gravitational points in the ground to generate 0.1 times the standard gravity, in addition to rich commercial facilities, educational facilities, industrial facilities, research facilities, service facilities, residential facilities, public facilities.
"Produced by East Galaxy Company, it must be a high-quality product!" Huang Youxin said to himself, no matter how the city in front of him looks, it will never be able to compare with the moon city and 024 port, but it also carries the high hopes of their development department, and they will not be treated sloppily.
"Huang, you're still full of energy." Hesim, who had retired from the Homestead Company's administrator, stood beside him, staring at the base in front of him that was under construction, and spoke.
If you add the non-visible Toma Mo, the former Big Six of the Homeland Company, three of which are in charge of the lives and work of hundreds of thousands of immigrants, reunite in the development department.
"This is a new challenge for us from the company, and if this vast space with a radius of 10 million kilometers is developed, it will have a significant impact on the world." Huang Youxin explained seriously, seeing that several informal employees were lazy, he hurriedly stepped forward subconsciously to scold.
Hesim stood behind and smiled, as a typical Iron Cross countryman, he was actually more old-fashioned and conscientious than Huang Youxin in his heart, and when he saw that his old friend was already in full swing, even he couldn't bear it.
"It looks like I can't be left behind either!" He encouraged himself to know that since the second frontier was in the asteroid belt, they would not be able to return to the moon for a long time, and he would not be able to explain to him if he did not do something in such a long time.
As for the problem of living in a remote asteroid belt for a long time, he is not particularly worried, not to mention the neutrino communication network, the limit speed of the Hengyue-class spacecraft has reached 350 km/s, and the round-trip between the moon and the asteroid belt is actually only three weeks, which is much faster than in the past, and they don't have to worry about loneliness.
Asteroid 666, which is favored by the development department, is located on the inner side of the asteroid belt, in the asteroid family where a large number of metal asteroids are concentrated, but because it deviates from the main belt of the asteroid belt, there is a blank area of 5 million kilometers in the middle, which is actually a veritable island in the asteroid belt.
After the excavation of the city's foundations for the development department's employees was completed, the canvas was ready, and the next step was to start building the real building.
The first to complete is the residential area, and the administrative area, because it is the development department to run the department, each development department of the regular staff have to enjoy 1000 square meters of stationing room, 100 square meters of office area, can be said to enjoy the same treatment as the nobility.
Now it's the turn of the business district, the most important thing here is the business district, and the rest of the industrial area is not an important development city of the East Galaxy Company, why move the factory here? In addition to having the advantage of being close to raw materials, in case of robbery, the loss will be very large.
The commercial district is different, as a place where the tertiary industry gathers, there will be a large number of bars, special service places, nightclubs, Internet cafes, casinos and other facilities, which can well absorb the money in the hands of the pioneers, so as to make up for the lack of economic development here, so the planned area of the commercial area alone will exceed 200,000 square meters.
The Hengyue-class spacecraft was reloaded to 6,500 tons, and the materials transported at one time were enough for them to consume a lot of time, and the commercial area was completed a month later, and it was the turn of the industrial area to be next.
A simple industrial area, including a joint production workshop for unmanned units, a small spaceship manufacturing plant, a small food processing factory, a small individual weapons production plant... Ensure the production of basic daily necessities, individual weapons and equipment, month-by-month spaceships, and other products that have been popularized, and use them to supply the basic needs of the pioneers.
The sudden addition of a city on an uninhabited asteroid is quite shocking and affects the regional balance of power, so it didn't take long for the development department to build a sizable city on asteroid 666, attracting the attention of passing ships.
On this day, Huang Youxin looked at the city in front of him that was beginning to take shape, and thought to himself that the East Galaxy Company was indeed a big company, and the city built was full of science fiction, not at all like the base of the pioneers, either with an inexplicable distorted aesthetic, or with an old-fashioned and outdated national style, or completely a dilapidated slum.
In the distance, a spaceship approached and made a communication request.
"Hey, it's an African Brotherhood spaceship, what's their purpose?" After Huang Youxin confirmed the identity of the other party, he was uneasy in his heart, he knew that the asteroid belt was dangerous, and the star thieves who were moving around often did bloody and illegal acts, so as to plunder other people's hard-earned money, some formal forces on the surface, behind the scenes, were also in the same league with the star thieves, what kind of purpose did this group of people who suddenly appeared in front of them?
Connor, the leader of the African Brotherhood, who was standing in the captain's cabin of the spaceship at this moment, also had the same idea, staring at the city not far from them in contemplation.
โโAunt at the starting point?,I can't get in for a long time.ใ
