The current mainstream gaseous planet development technology of the Adeptus Mechanicus is generally to first build a very large space station, put the built transport platform directly to a relatively stable position on the planet, and then put the entire mining ship into the ground. Those special mining ships have thick The ship's hull can withstand the high pressure deep in the planet, and uses a huge external bucket to collect the concentrated raw promethium and return it to the transport platform. Then the giant plasma engine on the transport platform will send the filled cargo compartment into space, and wait until the space station collects it. After arriving at the cargo hold, it is either refined on site or transferred to a waiting cargo ship. The whole process is relatively cumbersome and requires a lot of investment.
Therefore, although there are gas planets in the Nessen system, Griffin 4 did not invest here. After all, the distance is too far and it is uncontrollable. This makes the Nessian system very dependent on imports of promethium.
Soshiyang must not let anyone get stuck!
But now the orbit of Nessen 7 is empty, even the satellites. It would take too long to build it from scratch
But Soshyan had already made arrangements when he returned. This is also the real purpose of his trip.
"It seems that the two factory ships have begun operation."
Standing in front of the huge observation window on the bridge, Soshyan stared at the two huge Goliath-class factory ships hovering in the planet's orbit. , nodded with satisfaction, and there were several huge transport ships parked near the two factory ships. Engineering ships of various sizes were constantly flying out of the cabins, carrying huge structural components, and working hard to move the space station The prototype was spliced together, and traces of construction can be seen on several satellites.
"Leader of the Chapter, 29 transport platforms and 151 dredging ships have been deployed on the planet. The original promethium excavation capacity of Japan is 1820 tons, but it is not enough to meet the full efficiency production operation of two factory ships. Currently, it can only meet 32% of the needs of the Furnace and 22% of the needs of the Song of Fire. The next batch of transport platforms and dredging ships from the planet are on the way."
Standing beside Soshyan. It was a sage from Ulan Huda. In fact, Ulan Huda started mining raw promethium at Naisen No. 7 very early, but it was always on a very small scale. A little was mined and then transported away. Before Soshyan gained the right to rule the entire galaxy, they would not be able to blatantly mine here and could only use this method of "stealing" in the form of moving mice.
So as soon as Soshyan received authorization in Terra, he immediately sent an astrological signal to Ulahuda and asked them to start large-scale mining and construction.
But if this is the case, it still cannot meet the demand for promethium in Soshyan's construction plan, but fortunately he got two Goliath-class factory ships from Mars!
With factory ships, the situation is different. One of these giant production ships can even continuously supply the promethium demand of a galaxy. Therefore, even if there is no space station facility, as long as the raw promethium is enough, the same Able to mass produce refined promethium! After the raw promethium leaves the planet, all filtration, heating, fractionation, and catalytic purification processes can be completed directly in the factory ship in one step. At the same time, it can also produce many additional products, such as very critical food, corpse starch.
These two factory ships are also the material basis for Soshyan's courage to carry out large-scale reforms on Naisen No. 4 and No. 5.
Even in order to protect these two important factory ships, two moon-class cruisers and two frigate squadrons also came here and stopped in the high orbit of the planet, always monitoring the movements of the surrounding space. .
“Production must be increased and doubled to at least reach the standard of 5,000 tons of daily mining volume. It will be increased to 10,000 tons of daily mining volume in the future. The possibility of factory ships accompanying the army and the facilities of the space station must be taken into consideration. Also build it up as soon as possible.”
Soshyan did not ask about the output of refined promethium, because he knew that it was definitely not much, and most of it had to be supplied to ground transportation platforms and dredgers first. Those were big producers of promethium, but it was still a good start.
As for why there are no factory ships in Ulan Huda, this is because the world itself can run on its own, and naturally there is no interest or need for the slow-moving and fragile promethium refinery. In fact, it is It was only because they began to "settle" in this forge world that they paid attention to the source of promethium, but it was also more about the demand for raw ore. After all, the forge world itself has a stable source of energy and does not rely heavily on promethium to provide energy, but raw promethium The by-products are still needed.
"In addition, I have not forgotten the demand from Ulanhuda. What proportion of raw promethium mining does Director Bangura want?" "It is 15%."
< br>
“Well, no problem.”
At this moment, a rapid ringing sound suddenly sounded on the bridge, and then the person in charge of the communication area said to Soshyan through the loudspeaker:
"Chapter Commander, the patrol fleet discovered a strange ship Breaking into the galaxy, the location is in the E24-D12 area, about 80,000 kilometers away from here, and has passed through the asteroid belt on the edge of the star system. "
Sosh Yang frowned and looked at some star maps. The location is marked out with a red dot, right near Naisen No. 7.
"What kind of ship is it?"
"According to the other party's response, it is an Astartes ship! The battle group number is III-051."
III-051, Soshyan recalled it, and the result shocked him.
"The Poisonous Thorns Chapter!?"
The technical sage on the side knew that he should not stay any longer. After bending down, he turned and left the bridge. Soshyan came immediately. Go to the throne, click on the camera, enter the database, check the updated battle group status, and find this battle group.
The Poisonous Thorns Chapter, an Imperial Fists Chapter founded probably around the Heresy Era, is a ship-based Chapter, and has also participated in the Feast of Blades, even before Soshyan went there The last session was held not long ago.
This is not the point. The point is that this chapter has been declared a traitor and shown to be in a state of being eliminated, and the person who destroyed them is none other than their parent group, the Imperial Fists.
The feud between the Venomous Thorns Chapter and its parent group can be said to be a tragedy. As a ship-based chapter, it wanted to establish its own rule on the planet Sanatar that it had recaptured from the aliens (that is, to get it there). (as the home planet, and learned to establish galaxy-level rule like the Ultramarines) in order to commemorate their military exploits and sacrificed warriors, which led to conflicts with many departments of the empire and conflicts with brother war groups.
But this is a relatively common dispute between Astartes and mortals, but at the Feast of Blades in 599.M41, Tek'shar, the champion of the Poisonous Thorns Chapter, defeated the then Empire. After the game, Belisal, the Priest of the Fist, criticized the actions of the Poisonous Thorns and tried to persuade Texhar and his warband to give up their obsession with liberating the world, but Texhar also used sharp words to Words came back to the pastor.
As a result, the angry Belisal killed Texhar directly
