Chapter Seventy-One: The Ship Lifts into the Air

The Gray Gu Company was set up in the space engineering base of the Northern Continent, and at this time, a hundred space engineering ships were neatly displayed in a vast open space.

Sou!

When the engine system of the first engineering ship was activated, a faint blue energy arc streaked across the sky, leaving a trace of light and flame that could not be dissipated for a long time, making the originally dull and colorless sky light up like a starry world.

Even if it is just an engineering ship, the initial speed when it starts is amazingly fast, and the staff who cooperate with the engineering ship on the ground can't help but let out bursts of exclamations.

Because when the first engineering ship took off, its initial velocity reached an astonishing sub-light standard!

Sub-light, ninety percent of the speed of light!

Terrifying speed greater than 270,000,000 m/s!

With such a terrifying speed, the first engineering ship swept out like a shadow of time almost at the moment it started, and disappeared directly into the range of the overspeed monitoring radar of the ground space monitoring station in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, when it reappeared, it was already in the deep starry world of outer space.

On the flat ground where the first engineering ship originally stayed, only a chaotic hill was left that was directly caused by the sudden generation of powerful kinetic energy, which was directly caused by terrorist damage, and piled up like a mass grave.

Just after the first engineering ship lifted off, its own speed continued to rise, 91% of the speed of light, 92% of the speed of light, 93% of the speed of light......

After stepping into the starry sky, the fastest cruising speed of this engineering ship has reached an even more astonishing 97% of the speed of light!

And after that, the second, third, fourth...... One after another, the engineering ships were arrayed according to their numbers and lifted off in an orderly manner.

Like a sharp arrow disappearing into the night sky.

The Aerospace Fleet, composed of a hundred engineering ships, like an uninvited guest, broke into the unattainable strange world in the past, and began to plunder them.

The real-time footage of the engineering fleet taking off was transmitted to all parts of the planet.

In every division of every continent, every employee of the company who was waiting for the good news in front of the holographic image projector showed excitement when they witnessed the appearance of the long-awaited scene.

In the space engineering program built by the company, even if it is just an engineering ship, each one has a huge hull with a length of more than one kilometer, and a high-strength alloy hull with a length of one kilometer.

When they see that beast ascending into space, even the most ignorant low-level employees know what it means to the company.

Starting today, the hands of the Gray Gu Company have officially opened a new door for its employees.

When the engineering ship lifted off into the air, the mysterious world above the night sky, which they could only see and see in the past, but could never touch it up close, showed them at a glance, and no one could not help but feel the blood surging.

"Long live the company!"

"Long live the Gray Gu!"

……

Countless low-level employees were deeply attracted by the scene in front of them and rushed to shout from the heart.

They saw that the company really delivered on the promises it had made and gave them a bright future.

More than a year!

It's just over a year!

The company has achieved such impressive results in the space engineering program that it was impossible to see, or even imagine, in the old days when there were many superpowers on the planet.

Because of this, more and more employees of the company are attracted, more integrated into the collective, and more willing to selflessly dedicate everything to the company that carries their hope for a better future.

The other side of space.

After taking off, the Gray Gu First Engineering Fleet, after entering outer space, began their engineering implementation as soon as possible in accordance with the originally predetermined plan.

A hundred engineering ships, like a hundred worker ants arriving at their destination first, begin to build a nest for their "new home" in a strange world.

First of all, it is necessary to establish a complete extraterrestrial monitoring system, and then add supporting space docks, space mineral refineries, and stellar energy harvesting devices.

These infrastructure projects were combined into a "stellar base construction project".

A stellar base, also known as a stellar space station.

In addition to the centralized construction of those basic space facilities, the main role is to fully integrate and utilize all the observable resources in a galaxy.

As a result, star bases are generally built in orbit closer to the galaxy's host star.

In other words, in order to build a star base, it is necessary for the engineering ship to be close to the star to carry out engineering operations.

Such a job is definitely an unimaginably arduous project for those low-level astronautical civilizations with shallow industry and aerospace technology.

But for the Gray Gu First Engineering Fleet, which had already expected this situation, it was indeed a simple project.

Engineering ships that can cruise at sub-light speeds in the star system at any time can not only easily handle all the tasks of this project, but also complete the tasks assigned to them by the company at a very fast speed.

Since the El Galaxy, which is the home planet of the Gray Gu Company, exists in the El Galaxy, which is a double galaxy with two stars, the engineering risks taken when building a star base will be relatively large.

Therefore, as the commander of the first engineering fleet of the Gray Gu, and with the engineering fleet in the air, Victor decided to assign fifty engineering ships to build a star base.

In addition to building a star base, the company also plans to exploit other resources within the system.

In addition to the two stars, there are six planets in addition to the company's parent planet, the El Star.

These six planets are either lifeless and barren planets, or frozen planets or gas giants that are impossible to give birth to life.

Six planets, including one barren planet, two frozen planets, and three gas giants.

That barren planet has reserves of mineral resources that are not inferior to those of Elstar, but it does not have an atmospheric ecological environment suitable for the survival of ordinary organic life.

In order to exploit the resources on the barren planet, the company plans to build a resource transfer site on the periphery of the planet, and then invest a large number of gray Gu intelligent machines to mine mineral resources on the planet, and establish a smart machinery assembly plant and an unmanned mechanical alloy production plant, intending to make the planet self-sufficient as soon as possible and quickly become the company's resource export planet.

As for the two frozen planets, there are actually a lot of mineral resources, and even these mineral resources are abundant to an extremely considerable extent.

It's just that these two frozen planets are too close to the two stars in the middle of the galaxy, and their planetary magnetic fields are extremely unstable, so investing in gray Gu intelligence and building unmanned factories on frozen planets is an extremely loss-making deal in the short and long term.

Therefore, the company has not invested too much in these two planets for the time being, but has only established two small resource mining stations, but plans to wait for the completion of the current space engineering plan in the future, and directly use the method of split mining to surgically mine and smelt the two frozen planets, so as not to waste the large amount of mineral resources existing in their stars.

There are also three gas giants, although there are not many mineral resources, but they contain a huge amount of alien gas, these alien gases are excellent natural gas resources, and they are also resources that cannot be wasted for the company, so they are also planned to establish relevant resource mining stations for use.

Two asteroid belts in the galaxy have also been detected by the company's engineering vessels, which contain large amounts of mineral resources and have research value, so extensive mining stations and observation and research facilities are planned to be built in their orbits.

A hundred engineering ships barely stayed for much time before they entered a busy state of work one after another.

Soon, a large amount of resources will be mined from this system and fed into the company's space engineering program.

And just a month after the engineering fleet commanded by Victor took off, five more space ships quietly lifted off in the space engineering base on the northern continent.

The five ships that took off this time were not engineering ships, but scientific research ships.

These research vessels, which have the ability to explore independently and on long voyages, will also participate in the subsequent phases of the company's space engineering program and will play an important role.

……

Just when the company's space engineering program is in full swing.

On the El Star, the top executives of the company entered a strange state.

Unlike the majority of low-level employees, they are excited about the current achievements of the space engineering program.

When the members of the self-interest faction learned that hundreds of engineering ships had been lifted off under the command of Chief Engineer Victor, and that large-scale space engineering facilities had been built in outer space, they had a complicated expression.

They got together again for a private meeting.

"Damn, why? Why is it that all the people from the engineering department and the scientific research department are involved in the space engineering program, and why can't the people in our department be involved? A deputy head of the business department shouted.

"There is no way, according to the company's regulations and the CEO's plan, such a project, only the engineering department and the scientific research department can be perfectly competent, we have no reason to meddle in it." A senior executive of the planning department smoked a cigar and flicked the ashes of his cigarette to exasas.

"Even if we don't have a reason to get involved, it doesn't mean that people in other departments don't even have the power to be responsible for the resource mobilization behind the project, right?" The deputy head of the business department shouted even louder.

There was a hint of catharsis and cacophony in his voice, but it resonated.

"That's right, the CEO doesn't even give us the departments the power to allocate resources behind our backs, what does that look like?" A senior member of the Ministry of Labor also chimed in:

"Is there only two departments in the company: the engineering department and the scientific research department?"
