Chapter 144 The sudden fleet
Evening.
A large number of small space mining ships shuttle through the narrow meteorite belt like bees.
These mining ships methodically detect and analyze, then use mining guns to cut the target meteorites, take out the useful parts and load them into the cabin.
When the cabins are full, these mining ships slowly fly back to the large mining transport ships.
Inside the transport ship.
Di——
The mining ship returns.
The uniformed miners immediately took action.
They drove the mine cart to transport the collected ore to the storage cabin, while others performed basic cleaning and maintenance on the mining ship.
Even use high temperature to remove some special attachments.
There is no way around this. Mining ships are exposed to the space environment for a long time, and they are not protected by shields like airports or large ships.
If not cleaned and maintained in time, the mining ship will easily be corroded and eventually turn into a useless ship covered with disgusting meatballs.
“Boys, go faster, the next batch of mining ships is about to arrive!”
The captain of the mining team, Maika, urged the miners.
He was muscular and wore a medal for a third-class lower-class citizen on his chest.
As a worker representative in the mining industry, he always has a different kind of passion for work.
After production resumed on Erth Star, the salary and status of the miners have been continuously improved, and it has become a profession that is envied by everyone.
Even though the mining team has undergone several rounds of expansion, there are still countless people trying to get in.
The mining team's mining equipment has also been updated. Even a team leader like him can command a transport ship and tens of thousands of miners.
It is not easy to become the captain of the mining team now. It requires several rigorous examinations.
Batch after batch of mining ships returned, and the storage compartments of the transport ships were quickly full.
"Mr. Will, the transport ship is fully loaded, all collection equipment is operating normally, and we are now ready to return..."
McCar reported to the mining supervisor Will according to the process.
Will's loud voice sounded, and he was in a good mood:
"Boy, come back quickly. You are the last batch of ships. If you are later, you will not be able to catch up with the meeting!"
Beside Will, several team captains booed:
"We are all waiting. Where's your kid!"
"Mr. Will has prepared some wine tonight. If you don't come back, we'll drink it all!"
McCard was a little anxious and scolded:
"Damn bastards, leave some for me!"
The mining team has changed a lot over the years.
But the only thing that remains unchanged is the rough atmosphere inside.
The transport ship returned to the ground, and night had fallen.
Maika hurriedly got off the boat and took a hover car to rush to Black Coal Street.
Tonight is a rare good day. If you miss it, you will regret it for a year.
When he returned to Black Coal Street, the whole block was brightly lit and full of people celebrating.
After several years of development, Black Coal Street is no longer the neighborhood that was so poor that it had no lights and could not even afford candles.
The original shanty towns were also demolished and a large new community was built.
Maika’s home is in a newly built community, a two-bedroom and one-living room.
It is an unimaginably good life for their family of six to live in such a good house.
He returned home, bringing his wife and four bastards with him.
The family walked to Mr. Will's house, and people greeted them from time to time.
"Dad, why did you come back so late? I'm so hungry waiting for you!"
Micah's eldest son complained.
At the age of seventeen, he is already tall and tall, but due to his experience of hunger as a child, he always has a special fear of going hungry.
He has passed the assessment of the mining team and will be able to work with his father soon.
The McCabe family arrived at the door of Mr. Will's house.
The open space at the door has long been filled with tables and food, and people are gathering to celebrate.
These people are the captains of the mining team and their families.
Macca was greeted personally by Mr. Weir.
After all, he is the worker representative in the mining team and a third-class lower-class citizen.
Since the mining industry boomed, Mr. Will's status has also grown rapidly.
As a mining magnate, he has obtained second-class intermediate citizenship.
It can be said that he is one of the few people on this planet who has real power.
"Come on, come on, come and have a drink!"
After his familiar colleagues came over to hug him, everyone sat down and prepared to drink.
These drinks are from special stores.
The special store is open to third-class citizens and above, and requires expensive credits to redeem.
McKay has never been willing to drink. Only Mr. Will dared to exchange so many drinks in such a generous way.
But this is also consistent with his personality.
“Don’t forget your brothers when there are good things!”
That is the belief that Mr. Will has always upheld, and it is also an important reason why he has reached his current position.
Soon, Maika and his colleagues started drinking and celebrating.
This is the most precious night of the year, because tomorrow is the Ascension Day of the God Emperor.
...
The spire mansion.
Ron passed several approvals and went to the balcony as usual, overlooking his planet. Everywhere you look, there are bright lights.
People are celebrating.
Celebrating the night before the Ascension of the God-Emperor has become a custom on the planet of Erth.
The lights in the Sacred Square are bright, and the craftsmen in Wangting District are making final preparations for tomorrow's ceremony.
After finishing the work at hand, they can call it a day and go back to celebrate.
“Is this the eighth Ascension Festival of the God Emperor?”
Ron murmured.
The changes in Erth Star over the past few years can be said to be earth-shaking.
When he first came to this world, Shangchao had just experienced war and was in dilapidated condition.
Due to the lack of electricity, there are no lights at all outside the Wangting District, and it is pitch black everywhere.
The only light was from the fires of people exchanging gunfire and the burning of neighborhoods.
Now, with his efforts, several hives on the planet of Erth are supplied with electricity.
Various fields are also developing rapidly, providing a large number of jobs, and people no longer starve to death.
The population of the planet has entered a stage of rapid growth, with the population rising to two billion.
And the birth rate is growing every year.
It will take about a hundred years for the population to return to its peak.
Those are highly qualified people who have received basic education.
Planet Erth does not treat people like insects and leave them on the verge of starvation like other places.
Only the most low-level, inefficient labor can be provided.
Ron looked at the red moon in the sky.
That is the only natural satellite of the planet Erth, which is much larger than the moon in previous lives.
Of course, the Erth star is also more than one circle larger than the earth.
He still remembered the first time he saw the red moon. The gap in it shocked him.
I can’t imagine what kind of weapon it is that can punch a hole in a satellite.
And now, the red moon is even more difficult to see, because there is a bigger gap in it.
That came from Ron's mistake.
After the Nova Cannon, the main weapon of the "Dream", was assembled, he couldn't wait to try its power, so he ordered a shot to be fired at the Red Moon.
However, the Nova Cannon was not fully debugged and was operating at super power.
Just one shot caused a huge wound on the red moon.
Fortunately it was a blessing in disguise.
That shot hit the mineral vein, allowing people to discover the precious mineral resources on the Red Moon.
This greatly accelerated the maintenance and renovation project of the "Dream".
The maintenance and renovation project of the "Dream" has now reached the final stage.
In about a year, she will be able to officially serve.
At that time, the planet Erth will be able to expand outwards and clean up and colonize several dangerous uninhabited planets around it.
Ron thought for a while and then returned to the bedroom to rest.
Tomorrow he will attend the ceremony and speak to the citizens of the planet.
Dawn rises.
A dense crowd gathered in the Sacred Square.
They are citizens of all walks of life on the planet Erth, and they are honored to be invited to participate in this grand ceremony.
“Mom, has the Governor really praised you?”
“Of course, you can meet the great Governor later!”
Alila was very excited with her baby bump, accompanied by her husband Paddy and their daughter.
It is because of the Governor that her destiny can be changed.
So she is extremely pious.
Accompanied by the beautiful hymns of the choir, the angels waving their white wings threw flower petals and holy water to the crowd.
“Praise to the Emperor~
Loyal believers on the planet Erth, pray with me...
Pray for the blessing of the great emperor! ”
Bishop Doni stood on the preaching platform and presided over the blessing ceremony in mid-air.
His face was kind and he spread a gentle aura around him, making people feel comfortable and incomparable. Relax.
It feels like all the hard work of the past year has been wiped away.
When the blessing ceremony was over, it was time for Ron to give a speech.
However, he frowned, as if something had happened.
Just now, he received news from the airport that an imperial fleet was flying towards the planet Erth.
The fleet sent a message to the airport, asking the local ruler to prepare to receive it immediately!
Although I don’t know what the purpose of this fleet is, it is not a good thing.
After all, there are too many secrets in Erth Star.
Ron remained calm, and he immediately issued several orders to deal with the incoming fleet.
Afterwards, he took the stage and quickly finished speaking to the citizens, allowing the crowd to begin to disperse.
However, before the crowd could evacuate, a huge shadow slowly moved in, completely covering the sacred square.
The sky suddenly darkened.
Looking at the huge thing in the sky that blocked the sun, people began to panic.
The fleet did not dock at the airport in accordance with the empire's regulations, but landed directly over the hive city!
Buzz~
The protective shield of the hive city rose, emitting a faint light.
Ron looked up at the large cruiser in the sky and closed his eyes:
"It seems that the person who came here is not good..."
