Chapter 220: Construction of Ross 154 Planetary System
Year 9390 of the Galactic Calendar.
Five years passed in a flash.
On the back of Jupiter, in an airspace surrounded by several electromagnetic signal shielding satellites.
The Conqueror's huge hull stood quietly in space like a mountain.
Next to it, densely packed Punisher B-type ships that blocked out the sky, as well as thousands of various types of spacecraft capable of various engineering and construction tasks were lined up waiting.
Daxia's efficiency is still incredibly high, even without A-Dai's assistance.
In just 5 years, the entire Daxia, whether it was administration, industry or other related fields, had resumed normal production without the assistance of A-Dai.
Although the efficiency is not as good as before, at least we have achieved the goal of avoiding the risk of major accidents.
Inside the Conqueror's command room.
Liu Jun looked at a tiny star in the distant space with reluctance.
Li Jian patted his shoulder and pushed him into the nano buffer cabin.
"We have the Conqueror here. Just let me know when you want to come back. I'm not going to abandon you there."
Fan Ren smiled and shook his head, then entered the buffer cabin.
"In the past 50 years, I haven't seen anyone treat people like cattle and horses like you do. You're just trying to fleece a sheep!"
"All buddies!"
Li Jian listened to Liu Jun's complaints and made a rare joke with a smile.
"Dumb, let's start."
"Okay, boss. Please pay attention to all departments. The space channel will open in 10 seconds. Please pass through it one by one. After arriving, form a team according to the predetermined plan and wait for the next instruction."
After Ah Dai finished speaking, at this moment, the countdown sounded in the thousands of spaceships in the entire formation.
3, 2, 1.
As the countdown ended, a dark yellow circular wave area with a diameter of 100 kilometers suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the Conqueror's huge hull.
In space, because of the vacuum environment, not a single sound can be heard.
After receiving the order, the Punisher formation of the Qingluan Legion, which was at the front, slowly started to use its thrust engines to push the huge ship forward towards the space where even light was distorted.
Soon, the bow of the Punisher arrived at this distorted space. Its bow seemed to touch the water surface, impacting the entire distorted space and slowly splashing a circle of ripples in all directions.
The hull and stern of the ship then all sank into the space channel and disappeared in an instant.
Even though Fan Ren has seen this kind of scene many times in the past few years, it still seems magical when he looks at it now.
"This time you've really taken advantage of me."
Hearing Liu Jun's dissatisfied grumbles, Fan Ren just smiled and ignored them.
Over the years, Liu Jun, with the assistance of A-Dai, has been in charge of the Huomu Hub for nearly 50 years.
Perhaps it was due to Ah Dai's help, or perhaps it was due to his own efforts, the entire Fire and Wood Hub developed in an orderly manner without a trace of chaos.
This time, Fan Ren will also follow the main force to the Ross 154 planetary system. One of the important reasons is that he is the only one who has all the authority on the Conqueror.
As the only vehicle currently in human hands that can construct a space channel, the Conqueror can only jump back and forth between the solar system and the Ross 154 planetary system during this period of time to transport ships back and forth between the two sides.
This is a huge project.
Time passed slowly, and when the last spaceship disappeared at the space gate, Ah Dai operated the Conqueror to move slowly forward.
This is a planetary system with red and orange light spreading all over the galaxy. For some reason, although he has been here many times, Fan Ren always feels that when he is in this galaxy, he can feel an indescribable sense of desolation.
In the distance, the star has a mass of only 17% of the sun and a radius of 24%, making it look a little miniature.
Due to its small mass and size, this star, although young, emits a red glow from its surface.
It is a red dwarf star.
Because of the slow rate of nuclear fusion reaction inside them, red dwarfs not only have extremely long lifespans, but also have much lower surface temperatures.
For this reason, the range of planetary systems in red dwarf galaxies is generally very small.
There are only six planets orbiting it, including two gas planets and four rocky planets.
However, the embarrassing thing is that during the previous explorations, Fan Ren discovered that the mineral resources on the remaining four rocky planets were pitifully scarce.
Just as the fox said, all kinds of minerals on these planets had long been mined out during the war between the fox civilization and the Sirius civilization.
The only thing of value is the liquid metallic hydrogen inside the two gas planets.
This is because the fox civilization did not have the conditions to mine this high-value fuel at the time.
Indeed, if they had this condition, they would not have been defeated by the Sirius civilization and eventually exterminated.
Fortunately, all the minerals needed for construction here will eventually be provided by the solar system.
The first mission of this visit is to build a base for the Qingluan Legion.
After another five years, the subsequent construction work of the hibernation warehouse area and the hidden hub will be carried out.
According to Fan Ren's arrangement, the hub was located near the third gas planet.
Some of the fuel needed for nuclear fusion exists on several satellites of this gas planet.
In the deep sky, the red-orange light of the stars dyed the entire fleet a bloody color.
Afterwards, under the command of Ah Dai, the fleet began to speed up and head towards the planned construction site in the distance.
Here, Ah Dai will be completely free to take full control of the hub to be built in the future.
At the same time, another reason for choosing this star field as the secret base is that there is a space gate here that leads directly to the Alpha Centauri system.
Here, all human civilizations that come here will exist as fox pirates.
And perhaps later, they will go to the Sirius civilization through this space gate to purchase supplies.
But it’s still early days.
Unfortunately, the 'super-eating ore' needed to construct the space gate does not exist in the solar system.
"Third brother, the construction work here will be handed over to He Dai. Boss, the transfer of the Qingluan Army will be handled by Liu Shuai and I, and you will be responsible for the early stationing arrangements here."
The nano buffer cabin slowly opened, and Fan Ren walked out of it. With a serious face, he solemnly explained to the two brothers who had been together for decades.
Seeing Fan Ren's attitude, Liu Jun sighed and nodded helplessly.
"Don't worry, even though the third brother looks lazy, he is very decisive in his work."
Fan Ren nodded, how about he catch a sheep and pull it out?
He looked at the appearance of the two brothers in front of him. They had obviously entered middle age, while he himself seemed to be still in his 30s. He couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
No matter how time passes, he seems to be forever frozen at this age.
