Him and their stars.

Of course, the conversations at the space station headquarters did not affect the workers in the Tianshu galaxy at all.They are still working hard to complete today's work with enthusiasm and hope.

At this moment, the number of laborers, soldiers and civilians gathered in the Tianshu galaxy has already reached nearly 30.Half of them are distributed to several "natural" habitable planets whose atmospheres have been restored, and preliminary reclamation and exploration have begun.

The other half, with all the heavy orbiting equipment that can be mobilized at present, is working around the metallically shiny Tianshu No. 7 planet, just like a group of diligent worker bees.

This planet is the same gas giant that once hatched the star planter.But now, with the recovery of the sun in the Tianshu galaxy, the three terrestrial planets have directly become habitable planets, and the same miraculous change has also occurred on the No. 7 planet.This blue gaseous planet is several times larger than Jupiter, and the gas bound by gravity seems to dissipate and melt little by little under the sunlight that has regained its vitality.Then what was displayed in front of everyone was a solid planet with a metallic halo.

This is a manifestation of the existence of a large number of high-purity open-pit metal mines on the surface of the planet, and there may even be a considerable scale of zero-element mines.This is like a huge open-pit gold mine that fell from the sky. I feel that if I don't dig it, I will be sorry for the gift of the spirit of the universe.

In addition, the strong magnetic field phenomenon near the planet still exists, but it is stable within a controllable range.It will not affect the gravity and shipping of this galaxy, but there is still an objective environment for building a high-energy orbiting laboratory.

In short, all changes are moving in a good direction.

Therefore, after a brief safety inspection, the hardworking New China workers quickly built a rough processing plant and a mining take-off and landing platform on the orbit, and started space orbit operations.

Yes, orbital mining is the most cost-effective option, considering that this planet, which seems to be made of all kinds of heavy metals, does not actually have an atmosphere.

In the following two months, there was no accident or danger.The hard work and hard work have also paid off richly for everyone.At present, various rough-processed ores have been piled up in the mining platform.The star region government made a little calculation. If these ores that have only been roughly processed are sold directly, even at the lowest market price in the past five years, they can fully pay for all the military expenses of this star planter crusade. Including ammunition and energy consumption, wear and tear of ship equipment and subsequent repairs, and compensation for all casualties.

Therefore, with the acquiescence of Mr. Qi, Mr. Bernard, the Secretary-General of the Star Region Government, waved his hand and demanded that all workers who participated in the development of the Tianshu Galaxy be given three times the bonus.

The morale of the workers is naturally bursting, and the labor enthusiasm is inflated.

A small number of pioneering companies and miners, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, dare not show it in the mainstream atmosphere.Of course, this may also be because New China has always been a remote area, and there are no big companies to settle in.Both the agricultural reclamation company and the mining team are small businesses run by local people, and most of them have to rely on the unified planning of the star area government to find jobs.The boss and the employees are all from the village, so they still have to pay attention to the appearance of eating.

Then, on this day, when the semi-automatic mining ship belonging to the Master Wheelerman knocked on the copper mountain in the mining area that he was in charge of, it seemed to have captured a very complicated gravitational signal.

"Will it be a zero element?" The crew suddenly became excited.Their limited knowledge told themselves that unscientific data fluctuations occurred in this mineral detector, so they naturally discovered unscientific knowledge.

"Just now, the drill bit of Xiaojin No. 3 was damaged and could not continue to go deeper. I have let it return early." The deputy captain said to the old captain.

"The drill bit is broken? This means that it should not be an unstable dangerous element. Maybe it is a kind of hard sacred metal?" The experienced old captain was relieved when he heard this.

Holy metal?Mithril?fine gold?Austrian steel?Shadow iron?The names that made their blood pumping flashed through the minds of the crew members, and they immediately became excited.

According to the rules, although the zero-element veins that are explored will be directly nationalized, the rewards will be quite generous.There is one thing to say, in this regard, the new Shenzhou government has indeed never treated them badly.

What's more, when exploring, you always need to dig a few shovels, right?Accidentally, some corners and corners rolled into the ditch and disappeared. Isn't it reasonable?

The accountant on the ship said: "If it's a sacred metal, our drill bit really can't pierce it. However, the collection of zero-element ore is still very delicate. If it is not properly placed, it will affect the final quality."

Then it will also affect everyone's income.

"So, Captain, do you want to ask the command for support?"

However, the captain, boss and chief engineer snorted confidently, "Who do you think I am? Bring the boat over!"

For a small mining company like this, one ship and crew is a whole company.The old captain has done more than ten years of mineral exploration and initial mining work in the new Shenzhou star area, and has never overturned his car. He is still very prestigious among ordinary crew members.

Under his order, the mining ship went straight up.

Only at this time did the captain tell everyone that he had graduated from a serious mining academy, had worked as an engineer in a military prospecting team, had mined zero elements, and even had a military rank and the rank of second sergeant major.

If it weren't for the era of the founding fathers, all the mining departments of the military were handed over to the civilians. He is now a first-class sergeant major, and he can be a big deal in front of generals with slightly less seniority.

Then, the captain carefully selected a few experienced crew members, put on power armor for mining, carried relatively light tools, hung tractor beams and composite traction locks, and entered the deep hole formed by the cracking of the copper mountain bit by bit. in the ditch.That's where the gravitational signal goes wrong, too.

At that moment, they felt as if they were about to be swallowed by the gate of hell that appeared on the earth, but everyone involved was very excited, only feeling that the golden gold coins were beckoning to them.

However, when the miners really reached the end of the crack, they only saw a little smooth section exposed from the cover of rock mixed with high-quality copper ore.

Smooth as a mirror.

"Captain, this is..."

The miners had never seen this scene before, and were shocked.

The captain said that he had never seen it before, but when everyone is panicking, as a leader, he must calm down.

"It doesn't matter, brothers, we have gone through hundreds of battles, what scene can't we handle?" The captain said solemnly: "It's nothing more than finding a relic. Relic, think about it carefully, isn't this more valuable than the zero element vein? The above The master, and the extraordinary masters, will give us a large bonus!"

The miners think about it carefully, it seems that this is the same thing.They still feel terrible now, but they finally managed to squeeze out a stiff smile.

Of course, as experienced and excellent miners, they did not stay where they were and beat and stabbed to death, but quickly sent a signal to the headquarters and signaled the tractor beam to pull everyone up.

The crew of the Old Man Whitman, of course, didn’t know that when they were pulled away from the cracks in the mine by the tractor beam, the mirror surface at the bottom of the valley where they were just now was glowing with warm silver light. The golden light symbols of the text flowed behind the silver mirror.

And this scene, three hours later, was sent to the command center of the Tianshu No. 1 space station.

"So it turns out that the young star planter also has the duty of guardianship!" Mr. Jin said with a smile, "It's like an ancient dragon guarding the treasure of the gods."

Professor Zinov always felt that he seemed to have seen the silver light and golden runes on the image somewhere.At this time, he also received an energy message from Eisen and others who rushed to the scene.

He glanced at the data on the report hastily, and thought of what Cinderella had said before, and suddenly thought of something, but then showed an expression of disbelief.

"Ma'am, as the guide of the ancient times, won't you violate your code of conduct?" Professor Zinov asked, "Of course, as a beneficiary, I have no right to criticize you at all. Just hoping to satisfy my curiosity."

Gray Wind laughed and said, "I'm just trying to revive the legacy of the last era one by one and have the desired effect. Of course this is also a kind of leadership."

She paused for a moment, and then said: "Besides, professor, the universe is very mysterious and vast. Even if it is discovered, it doesn't mean it can be activated. Even if it can be activated, it doesn't mean it can be used. Even if it can be used, it doesn't mean it can only be used." You use it yourself. Your strength may end up being just a void game that wastes time and energy."

In the early years, Yang Xiyi was actually not interested in the mysterious and magnificent universe.After my father who worked in interstellar cargo died in an interstellar accident, I no longer have any romantic feelings for this vast and dark space.

Therefore, he can put his hand on his beloved 24 history and swear that the reason why he embarked on the road of joining the army is indeed because of the free tuition of the university and the good treatment of the elite bureaucracy.

"If you can hide in the Academy of Military History and do some poor knowledge, and then you can resign after getting some qualifications. Find a way to get a teaching and research position in a certain history in a university. Life will be considered complete." Looking at the cold and deep universe outside the porthole, Yang Xiyi sighed heavily, sipped a cup of black tea mixed with brandy, and said helplessly: "I really never thought that my 35th birthday would be wasted in a Floating in space in a big iron cabinet. And this time is still far away. I never thought that I would be promoted at this time!"

Lieutenant Colonel Mihir Kent, who was sitting across from him, shrugged: "Mr. Yang, you should have said this in front of Commander Connerys and Chief of Staff Tivington. Everyone has known each other for so long. Speaking skills can no longer arouse hatred."

Yes.Just the day before yesterday, that is, on April 833, 4 in the common calendar, Minister Peker, who claimed to be an imperial envoy, led the members of the Central Supervision Group to "inspect" a circle in the Dawn Star Region where law and order were gradually restored. Afterwards, this finally returned to the Unity Fortress in the Pass of Dawn with great satisfaction.

According to the original plan, the "supervisory group" composed of congressmen and senior bureaucrats of the central government should officially return to China.

However, at this moment, his mother also received the latest communication from the central government of the earth, granting the post of garrison commander of the Unity Fortress to Major General Yang Xiyi, the deputy chief of staff of the expeditionary force, and at the same time being promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.

Of course, the position of deputy chief of staff of the expeditionary force is also concurrent.

Therefore, Mr. Pecker postponed his journey back to China, and instead prepared a promotion ceremony with great interest.The chubby politician seemed to like this kind of joyous celebration ceremony very much. He not only operated the ceremony himself, but also invited many generals of the Allied Army, and even high-level "Allied Army" officials from the other half of the fortress to watch the ceremony.

During the ceremony, with a sanctimonious smile, Peker pinned Yang Xiyi's third general star and the top prize champion medal.

In addition to Yang Xiyi, dozens of officers were promoted, and thousands of others received medals.

However, at least from the perspective of the atmosphere at the time, it can be said that the host and guest had a good time, and everyone was happy.

Even an anti-establishment element like Yang Xiyi has to admit that the affirmation from the rear is very important to these soldiers who have been fighting on the front line for nearly a year.

"It's just that those who have been promoted by FireWire are all officers who graduated from top military academies. To put it bluntly, they are members of the elite bureaucracy group. 80.00% of those who have received medals are also officers." Yang Xiyi sighed: "After this promotion ceremony, It would take even more effort for us to appease the emotions of ordinary soldiers. If I hadn’t been sure that Minister Peker didn’t have the courage, I couldn’t help suspecting that guy was a spy of the Empire.”

Kent, who was also promoted to a level, said helplessly: "But, Teacher Yang, we are the 'moon people' and have always been the biggest beneficiaries."

Yang Xiyi was noncommittal, and poured himself another glass of brandy.

"So, the other side of the earth actually wants to appease you, and is also willing to acknowledge your illustrious military exploits in previous battles." Mihir Kent said: "They know that you are the one who captured this fortress. They I also know that you were left here because of the selfishness of the commander and Madam Chief of Staff. Since Commander Connerys and Chief of Staff Tivington cannot be dismissed, of course we can only promote you."

Kent smiled again: "Besides, I heard that Congressman Pecker himself, it is said that after returning to China, he will be awarded the minister of the Ministry of Heavy Industry Development and Planning. It is a big job! But this job needs to be done safely, but it needs cooperation with the military. Cooperate well. He actually hopes to have a good relationship with you."

"No, they just saw that I shot down this devil's throat, and they hoped that I could hold it." Yang Xiyi sighed, "This is really a good city! Even if it's just a research sample, it's enough for us stupid modern people It has been studied for several centuries. Moreover, it is also the portal of the Dawn Star Domain, the logistics transfer point and maintenance center of all fleets in the star domain, so it is naturally not to be missed."

The truth is indeed the truth. Kent heard a trace of different emotions from the other party, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "So, your plan..."

Yang Xiyi blinked his eyes, but changed to a lazy sitting position, and said in a chatty tone: "Speaking of which, Mr. Mark Love and Miss Bonaparte's No.13 fleet will go back to Xinyumen to accept New ships and recruits, where are they now?"
