Chapter 100: Mining

After the alert level was raised, the third-party boat was always in a state of combat readiness.

After rendezvous with the Voyager spacecraft, the battleship No. 01 returned to the vicinity of the third ship along with the other destroyers.

The fleet enters a defensive posture and keeps an eye on all movements in the Schulte system.

"Mr. Tang is back?"

The internal transportation of the complete third-party boat was very convenient and fast, and it took less than five minutes for White Tang and them to get off the spaceship and arrive at the second area, the Ark Affairs Management Center.

After greeting the crowd, White Tang arrived at the command center, where Susie was in charge of all affairs within the Ark.

"Mr. Tang, is the situation on Ariel alright?" Susie didn't know what the situation was in the high-dimensional space, only that they seemed to be in trouble.

White Tang nodded: "It's still under control for the time being, but the entire Schulte system is seriously polluted by subspace, we have to hurry up and leave immediately after collecting enough materials." ”

Mineral mining for the first planet is still underway at a rapid pace, and this planet is home to a large number of metal minerals that is very important for the future development of the third planet.

Whether it's building new ships or stockpiling supplies for future colonial construction, they can't do without them.

In the universe, heavy elements are actually relatively scarce, but light elements such as hydrogen and helium are everywhere and are very easy to collect.

In addition, the spaceport that was towed back by the fleet also dismantled a lot of important materials, such as electronic components and miniature electronic chips in short supply in the ark.

A large number of finished parts and components are recovered in the spaceport, which can be put into use directly, which is much more convenient than manufacturing from scratch.

On the first planet of the Schulte system, tens of thousands of workers are still working day and night in space engineering vehicles, load transport vehicles and other machinery.

Tens of thousands of meters deep in the mega-pit excavated by the giant machinery, the excavation machinery continues to work, where the crust is getting thinner and the underground temperature is getting hotter.

After tearing open the last rock layers, thin spews of magma gushes out, and finally the planet's crust is dug through.

High-temperature lava is also a very rare mineral, and the pipes that transport the lava are placed here, and a large amount of lava is transported to the synchronous orbit through the pipes.

This kind of violent exploitation has caused massive geological changes on the planet.

Low-frequency earthquakes began to occur on the surface of the first planet, and in some areas even affected mineral mining plans.

However, these effects are somewhat insignificant for the acquisition of large amounts of lava matter.

The mining organizing committee is even preparing to ramp up magma mining operations, and has already begun planning to install several more magma extraction channels on the planet's equator.

At a speed of nearly ten kilometers per second, through tens of thousands of kilometers of pipes, the lava that was pumped into the synchronous orbit floated in space and was still in a semi-molten state.

A large number of transport vessels, towing huge nets, collect them as if they were fishing, and send them to temporary airports.

Huge loading and unloading machines at the makeshift airport would press them to full size before sending them inside a third-party boat.

The metropolis in the ark is now becoming more and more lively, with a large number of workers moving in and a large amount of material input, and now the metropolis is finally showing its prosperous side.

With the large amount of minerals mined, the factories in the ark were in operation almost 24 hours a day, and in addition to building warships, they also brought a large number of modern equipment to the inhabitants for their daily lives.

For example, there are four high-speed rail passenger trains in the metropolis, and a large number of private cars are also put into the market.

After having a car and a house, the majority of residents' consumption has shifted to home and catering, and Fran is now in charge of the life of urban residents, and the metropolis is both prosperous and orderly under her governance.

Now that there are more and more things to do, and the routine meeting of the "Trip to the Underworld" has changed from once a day to once a week.

After White Tang returned, the "Journey to the Underworld" held a special reception for him, and it was also to report on the affairs of the third party during this time.

After White Tang and the others finished their reports, they stood up and said, "I want to tell you something more important. ”

"As soon as I entered the Schulte system, I sensed that something was wrong with this system."

"As a transit station in the subspace channel of the Federation Star Domain in the Zeji Star Zone, the relationship between the Schulte system and the subspace is much closer than I had previously suspected."

"This trip to Ariel, the first satellite of Moffett, we found a lot of previous conjectures."

"Subspace forces do spill out of the subspace holes and have an impact on the real world."

"The entire Schulte galaxy is polluted by subspace forces, with the Moffett star and the space around it being the most polluted."

"Especially after the evacuation of the spaceport on Ariel, the entire planet has fallen into a long recession."

"And the influence of subspace power on various creatures on Ariel has gradually been exposed, and thousands of years later, most of the creatures on Ariel have subspace energy in their bodies that exceed normal values."

He took out a "Mixed Spirit Fruit": "This is a relatively rare fruit on Ariel Star, which has subspace energy that ordinary people can't reach. ”

"These fruits can help some humans gain more power, and the humans on Ariel have formed a new system of power, which is based on the use of subspace energy."

White Downe paused and glanced at the end of the tea: "In other words, everyone on the planet of Ariel has become a demon fallen. ”

Tea Mo was silent, of course she knew what White Tang meant, she was under the protection of the "Lord", and she was still able to maintain her identity, and Elena ......

Everyone on Ariel has become a demon devastation, so the situation they encountered in the town before is very reasonable.

The townspeople became puppets of the "demons" so easily, also because they had already been polluted by the energy of the subspace, so they could not resist at all.

"The world...... Is there no salvation anymore? Cha Mo said softly.

Mamba asked on the side, "Mr. Tang, since the Schulte system is so dangerous, should we leave early?" ”

White Tang waved his hand: "The reason why we want to stay in the Schulte system is not only because there are a large number of rare minerals here to provide us with supplies, but also for ......"

"That is, we will definitely encounter more subspace enemies in the future, and the Schulte system is an excellent training ground."

"We're going to fight the subspace enemies here and defeat them so that we can gain experience and grow."
