Chapter 298 Planetary Governor
An order is an order, he can doubt the order, but he must carry it out.
He has already failed once, and he must obey orders.
Before long, the Council of Thirteen will send more mining barges to arrive.
Rex knew that this defeat had caused the 13-member council to change its goal.
From controlling the S-01919 star system to obtaining rare mineral resources in the S-01919 star system.
Outside, following Rex's order, the logistics fleet that was originally stationary moved.
Blue-and-white flames spewed from the engine at the back of the dark yellow mining barge straight toward the asteroid swarm.
Although their hulls are small, only 133 meters long, they are good at mining.
All equipment on the hull is for mining.
The industrial ship did not move, and remained in place.
Industrial ships don't have too thick armor, too strong shields, and the hull structure is quite fragile.
Once it enters the asteroid group, once it is hit by an asteroid, there is only one result.
That is shipwreck.
Some "Earth Elf" drones flew out of the cargo gates of some industrial ships.
That is, the returning battleship directly and remotely controlled the "Earth Elf" drone transported in the industrial ship to replenish the losses in the battle.
In order to control the S-01919 star system, the "Freedom and Democratic Federation" has made complete preparations.
In addition to the drones that come with the fleet, the industrial ship also carries more than 2000 "Earth Spirit" drones.
Its purpose is to supplement the loss of the fleet in battle.
……
S-01888 star system.
No matter when, in the dark starry sky, the planet is always so beautiful.
Even a khaki planet looks so gorgeous.
Under the light of the stars, the whole body exudes a faint halo.
In the orbit of No. [-] star, it is still busy.
The huge portal of time and space hovered above the star ring plane as usual.
Hundreds of "iron slave" mining machines travel between the star ring and the gate of time and space.
There are endless "iron slave" mining boats coming in and out of the gate of time and space, sometimes even forming a long queue.
Compared with four years ago, the asteroid group in the star ring has become more fragmented.
Sometimes even an area of dust is visible.
This is not a phenomenon of depletion. Even if the mining scale is increased tenfold, the reserves of the star ring can still be mined for decades.
On the other side of the gate of time and space, a huge semi-automated factory floats in the white void.
It is huge, without any shape at all, and the metal building extends outwards irregularly.
It can be seen that there are many docks, engineering platforms, aprons and harbors.
A large number of engineering machines shuttled through the white void, filling every inch of space.
Eventually, the automated factory will become a hollow spherical shape.
Large and small docks are arranged in layers, and warships under construction can be seen in a large number of docks.
There are eight battleships that have already taken shape, like a finished product, and the day of launching is not far away.
At this time, on a small dock platform, two people were standing behind the glass wall.
"There are 25 slave laborers working here, and the production efficiency of the semi-automated factory has increased to 100%. In the future, the semi-automated factory will continue to expand until it covers every inch of space. To increase the production efficiency to [-]%, it will take at least a hundred Thousands of slave labor."
The scale of the giant project is very exaggerated and shocking.
Looking at the metal world outside and the "slave labor" mining boats flying past in front of him, Jiang Yu was speechless.
It's been over two years outside, and in Sequential Space, almost 20 years have passed.
After 20 years of construction, the semi-automated factory is still expanding, which shows its large scale.
The diameter of the fault space can be a hundred kilometers, if every inch is filled, it will be a metal building with a diameter of one hundred kilometers.
"Due to military needs, according to the requirements of "King", the construction plan of 36 warships has been put on the agenda, and it is expected to be launched one after another within 24 months, including 24 "Cobra" destroyers and "Flame Storm" escort ships. 12 ships."
Speaking of this, Donald turned around and saluted the "king".
The mechanical, hoarse voice continued to sound from the hood.
"Wang, I'm sorry, the research on the subspace engine parallel connection device has failed, and the subspace engines cannot be connected in parallel. Forced parallel connection will interfere with each other, and the subspace crack cannot be opened."
What Donald said made Jiang Yu's eyes flash with disappointment.
It seems that the idea of making up for quality with quantity has failed.
This is true, the principle of the subspace engine is very metaphysical.
Forcibly connecting two subspace engines in parallel to open a larger subspace crack is somewhat unrealistic.
Slightly waving his hand, Jiang Yu said: "It's okay, if you fail, you will fail, Donald, are you going to the S-01919 star system with me, or staying at Ark 1?"
The S-01888 star system must retain some of its power.
Although the industrial capacity of Ark 1 is not as good as the semi-automated factories in the fault space, it can also be used as a small industrial base.
Ark 1 can build everything from military warships to civilian tools.
Without any hesitation, Donald replied: "Wang, the S-01919 star system needs me more..."
"Leave 20% of the mining boats, mining machines, and engineering machines, and the rest will return to the time fault space, and the gate of time and space will soon go to the S-01919 star system."
Hearing this, Donald quickly asked, "Wang, what method are you going to use to open the crack in the subspace?"
Jiang Yu knew what Donald was worried about, that he was afraid that he would sacrifice himself again.
"Although it's a bit difficult, it's not impossible. Don't worry, I won't do it unless it's absolutely necessary."
After the words fell, Jiang Yu said again: "Go and pass the order, I will go to "Ark 1" to meet Otis..."
Not long after, a "V3" transport boat left the dock and flew towards the direction of the gate of time and space...
Outside, the dark starry sky.
Following "Donald"'s order, the mining boats operating in the star ring received the order to return.
A shocking scene appeared.
In the ring, "Iron Slaves" mining ships appear from all directions.
Like ants returning to their nest, they gather towards the gate of time and space.
The tail flames ejected from the tail engine formed moving light spots one after another above the plane of the star ring.
This process will last for over an hour.
After leaving the time fault space, Jiang Yu went to "Ark 1".
The "V3" transport boat flew directly from the port into the urban area inside Ark 1 and landed at the Governor's Mansion.
The post of "planetary governor" is the feudal official of a colonial planet.
Although some are not worthy of the name, it does not prevent the position from being set up first.
As a capital, the Governor's Mansion is not small in scale.
The architectural style is relatively primitive, with a continuous spiers of buildings, like a castle.
The urban buildings outside are more sci-fi.
Probably the tech priests of the Mechanicus also knew that it was inappropriate to build a spiers-style hive-style city in a spaceship.
So I chose a more adaptable sci-fi style.
Most of the buildings are the same, square and square, and overlapped on top according to needs.
Although it looks a bit messy, the grid of the street is very neat and obviously carefully designed.
