Chapter 541 (1/2)
A few days later, Tang Shizhe sat up from the mind control cabin, took the fruit from Isis and bit it hard.
”Well, did they have a good time? You don't know how hard I have to make so many animals and plants!” Isis was nibbling at the fruit as he crumbled around him.
”The effect is very good, with these people to do live advertising, soon our intelligence network will be able to collect a lot of useful information!” Tang Shizhe relaxed and leaned against the wall.
”By the way, did you get the information I told you?” Tang asked Isis after a short rest.
”Yes, look at this!” Isis handed the hand drawn star map to Tang.
”This planetary system is the next goal of the Merced church to colonize. In a year's time, they will send a supply team of five destroyers to replenish the research stations in the system and deliver the materials needed to build the colony.”
”If you want to get this fleet, you have to finish that research station before their supplies arrive!”
”This planetary system has not yet opened a transmission station. It is 13.8 light-years away from our paradise star. It will take at least 252 days for our fastest spacecraft engine to reach this place.”
”In other words, it's better to start preparing for departure in the next few days!”
Tang Shizhe frowned when he heard the speech. From time to time, it was too late to mobilize the fleet of the Republic to occupy the space station. He could only think of other ways!
Two hundred and seventy days later...
covering an area of 001m, this unnamed planetary system still retains its most primitive appearance, with little trace of civilization.
On the fourth planet of the planetary system, the Merced church's probes have found a large amount of underground ice.
Decades ago, the Merced church launched a research ship carrying 50 people to the planetary system, which was in an era when there was no superluminal technology and we had to rely on spacecraft propellers to move forward slowly.
After decades of navigation and the establishment of a space station in orbit, the material carried by the spacecraft has reached the bottom.
On the planet 001m-4, church researchers did not find ice near the surface as expected. The ice found by the probe had disappeared due to natural action in the decades since they arrived.
The only new ice found is still five kilometers underground!
We should know that although Merced civilization is the most powerful civilization in the nearby star regions, it is still a primary civilization. It occupies only five planetary systems. They have not mastered the anti gravity technology that intermediate civilizations can master!
This means that their research ships can only float in the orbit of planets, while shuttles flying to the ground can't get the ice resources five kilometers underground.
But Titan's sale of superluminal technology has given the team a ray of light!
The new ship, equipped with a superluminal engine, will be able to reach the planetary system in just half a year, delivering their most valuable supply: water.
”Check the warehouse to see how much we have left!” Inside the dilapidated artificial gravity ring of a spaceship, several Merseysiders stand at the door of a warehouse and whisper.
