The planet Walpole III has two moons, Walpole III.a and Walpole III.b.

Walpole III.a was once dropped into the base car, and now it is developing in a decent way, due to its small size, there is no more development value, so Ajaeg is ready to go to investigate the next planet after completing the survey.

However, Ajag was surprised to discover that Walpole III., the planet around Walpole III.a, despite its barren and barren surface, still has water in its frozen form, which may have given birth to a thriving ecosystem.

If the landscape is transformed with the right technology, it could become a livable world. And it's big enough and the surface area is big enough to be able to build a lot of buildings.

If it can be turned into a habitable planet for humans, then this planet can be built into a casting world. The mineral resources of other planets in the Walpole system can be processed directly here, without having to go through interstellar transportation, which can greatly improve efficiency.

"When we get back to Terra, we can report this to Lord Sivir." Ajaeg thought to himself.

With this in mind, Ajaeg once again ordered the research ship to rush to the next planet.

While on the way to the research ship, Ajag discovered that there was a dense area of asteroids between the orbits of Walpole III and Walpole II. These asteroids are also rich in mineral resources.

The asteroid belt between the orbits of two planets could be the destruction of a planet due to a catastrophe, or it could be a pile of orbital debris in itself. Whatever the cause, this asteroid belt orbits the stars non-stop.

Preliminary estimates suggest that more than a million asteroids are clustered in an area of 3 to 4 astronomical units from the star. (1 astronomical unit equals 149597870700 meter)

There are some large asteroids encased in some kind of crystalline rock layer and large asteroids rich in minerals.

Ajaeg took five engineering ships from the engineering fleet and let them use some minerals from the previous mining world, and then use them to build three mineral mining stations in the asteroid belt.

These stations are equipped with long-range mineral scanners that can identify mineral distribution more quickly, thereby increasing the efficiency of mineral extraction.

Nano-mineral detectors have also been installed, which are special detectors equipped with thousands of nanorobots. Previously unidentified veins can be explored and marked for later collection.

The mineral mining station carries a large number of automatic mining drones, and these drone swarms are equipped with mining lasers, or ore cutting beams, which are short-range high-energy lasers that can easily cut through rocks, greatly improving the efficiency of mining, and enabling drones to carry out efficient mining near the mining station.

They can also use lasers to mine minerals. Using a highly focused lens combined with the oscillating emission frequency can create enough lasers to mine asteroids or shoot down enemies.

Once mined, these minerals are transported to a zero-gravity refinery in the station, where the semi-refined minerals are processed in a secondary manner, making the storage and transportation of the minerals more efficient and improving mining efficiency.

After arranging the mission, Ajag continued to take the research ship to the planet Walpole II.

This planet is tidally locked, with eternal day and eternal night.

One side of it is always facing the star, while the other side is always facing away from the star. Extreme temperature differences make planets extremely unlivable.

It is also not rich in mineral resources, but the planet has a variety of rare crystal resources, which made Icarus decide to put a base car on it.

The back side of the planet was supposed to be pitch black, but the various electrical equipment built made it starry and beautiful.

The crystal mines above are constantly working, and mining these rare crystals without damaging or even destroying them is a work that requires a high degree of precision, requiring extremely sophisticated advanced equipment.

Possess the extremely durable Delta's Crystal, which can increase the penetration of kinetic weapons through armor. It is also very popular as a jewelry decoration.

Opta Crystals that cause fragments to burst and sharpen with the speed of the explosion make Orada Crystals an ideal material for fragmentation matrices for explosive munitions.

With rare reflective properties, the Yulan Crystal can increase the output power of energy weapons. (All three are old versions, now they're gone)

Rare crystals with unique properties are ideal for condensing and concentrating laser beams, and are also a key material in the production of most advanced electronic devices. Some cultures also see it as an ornament.

Grating stones, with naturally occurring grooves on the surface, can be used to make precision optics and high-power exciters.

Unipolar magnets, which have a pyrochlorite lattice, can be used to influence the symmetry and direction of the strings by applying a magnetic field, thereby reducing the density of the string network to separate the "magnetic monopoles".

These rare resources in the universe are called curiosities. It can replace certain intermediates, shorten production lines, or strengthen certain buildings to increase the power of weapons.

Not only are the basic resources the cornerstone of the empire's development, but these rare resources in the universe are equally important to the empire. Both are to be collected in large quantities.

Ajag filled the cabins of ten engineering ships with these rare resources, and then set off on the last planet, the planet Walpole I.

Walpole I was once a gas giant, but its atmosphere burned away because it was so close to the star, leaving only a dense, mineral-rich core. The planet is nothing short of a treasure trove! Ultra-high quality minerals are undoubtedly an amazing source of profit.

"Planetary Belt..."

A crew member muttered as he looked at the planet Walpole I in the distance. Looking at the planet, this word popped up in his heart.

A gleaming silver belt separates the northern and southern hemispheres of Walpole I.

But when I got closer, I realized that this was a belt, just an endless number of solar panels laid on the planet's ground. These solar panels circle the equator and are just the right width, making them look like a belt worn around the waist by planets in space.

The reason for this phenomenon is that Walpole I. is close to the stars and has abundant light resources, so the base vehicles placed on it choose to build a large number of solar panels to provide electricity for each building.

But as the planet rotates, there is always half of the planet that does not receive sunlight. In order to provide a stable supply of electricity, solar panels are laid around the planet's equator. In this way, no matter how it rotates, half of the solar panels are always working, providing sufficient power to the facility.

The last planet has been investigated, and now there is only a little finishing touch left on Ajaeg's mission. Soon Ajaeg will be able to return to Terra and listen to Mistress Sivir and his classmates continue to listen to Mistress Sivir's interesting scientific knowledge.
