With the completion of the second mineral area, the growth of minerals will be sufficient to support the establishment of a second alloy foundry.

Five destroyers have been built in the dockyard of the star base to accompany the exploration ship to the unknown galaxy.

Five days later, the Pioneer Galaxy Project was officially launched.

Escorted by five Kingfisher destroyers, they sailed for four hours and the exploration ship arrived at the edge of the Great Xia system.

The galaxies in the star chart are all nameless and are named after a number based on the wavelength emitted by the host star.

And this number is unified in the star charts of all forces, so no matter what the name of the galaxy is, other people's systems will automatically convert it to the galaxy named by others.

Of course, if the ruler of the galaxy is determined, the name will be named after the ruler, and subsequent changes in sovereignty will be said separately.

The Great Xia Galaxy is connected to a total of three hyperspace shipping lanes, which means that there are three galaxies that can be reached.

On the Great Star Chart, the three galaxies are located to the north, west, and east of the Great Xia Galaxy.

In order to facilitate management, Chu Hua simply called these three galaxies "North One", "West One" and "East One".

If there is a planet that can be colonized, it would be nice to have a special name, and now it is better to explore the situation of the star system first.

The pioneering galaxy chosen by Chu Hua is the East One Galaxy.

"What will you find? Or will you encounter space creatures? ”

In Chu Hua's curiosity, five Kingfisher destroyers and one exploration ship began to activate the hyperspace engine at the edge of the galaxy.

Only by activating the Hyperspace Engine can you enter the Hyperspace Channel, and you must not be affected in any way, otherwise you will not be able to enter the jump process.

Three minutes later, the hyperspace engine was activated, and the six ships were suddenly enveloped in a magical force, and then disappeared into the stars, and began to leap towards the galaxy on the other side.

In the large star map, one's own ship flies along a looming shipping path to another galaxy with a green spaceship symbol.

It was the first time that Chu Hua had witnessed a ship crossing the galaxy.

Not only him, but many researchers are also carefully observing.

While the hyperspace engine has been proven, it is the first time that a galaxy has actually crossed over from one galaxy to another.

Luckily, there were no problems with their research, and the exploration ship and Kingfisher destroyer were able to reach the East One system.

"The signal is normal, and there is no problem with communication!"

"We've arrived without a hitch and everything is working well."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Chu Hua nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, let's carry out an exploration project." ”

"Understood!"

As soon as the order was confirmed, the exploration ship began its mission of exploring the galaxy.

Exploration ships are about the same size as destroyers, but they have little combat effectiveness.

The reason is that the hull is equipped with a huge sensor, which accounts for nearly half of the ship's energy, allowing it to scan the planet directly in space, eliminating the need to land.

Under the scanning of the sensors, even the internal structure of the planet can be analyzed, and it can also know whether it is suitable for colonization, whether it can exploit resources, and so on.

When the exploration ship scans the planets in the galaxy one by one, the division of the galaxy will gradually become more detailed, so that it will appear as an ordinary galaxy in Chu Hua's star map interface.

In fact, the star system is very large, although the gravitational range mainly depends on the main star, but the average diameter is about 4 light years, and the ratio of stars and planets in the star map has been changed for the convenience of management, and it is also suitable for the vision of ordinary people.

Otherwise, according to the real proportions, it will be very troublesome to find out where the main star is for half a day.

[Exploration of the East One Galaxy, preliminary estimated completion time: 2 days and 18 hours]

The exploration ship began to work, and the Kingfisher destroyer, which was responsible for escorting, patrolled the vicinity to guard against unknown risks.

Researchers at the institute are also analyzing the data that has been transmitted.

Chu Hua exhaled, "I didn't encounter an enemy, but it's okay, maybe it's similar to the so-called novice period now, and there won't be any strong enemies near you." ”

It will take two more days for the exploration to be completed, and it is impossible for Chu Hua to wait and continue to build the main star and develop resources.

“Low power……..”

Silently reciting a strange sentence, Chu Hua shook his head as he looked at the income of energy coins, remembering a strategy game he had played in his previous life.

"Fortunately, the construction of the ocean current power generation area near the second mineral area was completed today, and the income of energy coins has increased by a while."

"However, the establishment of the alloy foundry has lowered the income of minerals and energy coins, but the battleship cannot be built, and the second exploration ship should also be built."

"I don't know how the third mineral area is established......"

Chu Hua turned his perspective to the third mineral area that was about to be established, no matter what major events happened in Great Xia, Chu Hua could observe the situation through the console at the first time and achieve strategic planning.

Of course, extremely private things don't have this feature.

The resource division of the main star is still relatively concentrated, and there are three mineral areas that can be built in the southern region.

Through the picture, Chu Hua also saw Cortana heroically inspecting the scene, telling something from time to time.

Then the blasting of the prospective mine began, with a shocking rumbling of the earth-shaking mountains, and a cloud of dust rushing up to the sky, which was then pressed down by the dome mechanism in the air.

After the bombing, it was time to place the gathering equipment.

This area is an underground mine that needs to be mined deep into the leylines, so mining machinery similar to a shield machine is used.

Many thousand-ton collection machinery was lifted by airborne aircraft, flew to the mining area one by one, and then automatically unfolded and took root in the ground, followed by the stationing of personnel.

Even in the interstellar era, miners are still a common type of work, and the hard work is a little hard, but Chu Hua didn't treat them too badly.

When the benefits are full, security also keeps up.

The cost is +10% consumption of consumer goods and the loss of production, but it is not without benefits, at least happiness and stability do not decrease.

Cortana has suggested a little exploitation of these kinds of hard jobs, after all, these occupations are not demanding, and they can squeeze a lot of resources, even a 5% increase is considerable.

Chu Hua still didn't agree after thinking about it, "It's not time to be so short of resources yet." ”

"However, criminals who break the law don't have to be polite, I'm a good country, I don't have to make trouble if I don't do anything, and let them do the hardest jobs."

In any case, there will always be some people who are born with a penchant for sin, and this is probably unavoidable even if Great Xia becomes a carefree utopia.

However, the situation in Daxia is okay, under the harmonious development of Chuhua and the preferential policy, the population crime rate is only 0.3%.

This also creates a high degree of stability and happiness, and Chu Hua faintly feels that if these two items reach a certain level, they should bring some bonuses.

It was close to the afternoon.

The Academy of Sciences suddenly sent a report, which made Chu Hua stunned for a moment.

When he thought something was going on in the East One Galaxy, he opened the report and looked at it, only to realize that the research project that turned out to be space creatures had been completed.

Looking through the report, Chu Hua slowly understood the space creatures, and also knew the name given to him by the Academy of Sciences.

"Space amoeba"
