Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048
With the construction of farms, orchards, and herb gardens, and the completion of the water recycling system, combined with the construction of large fishing grounds, Harry Asteroid was finally entering the realm of high-tech civilization. The technological capabilities of a high-tech world are just too powerful.
In less than half a month, the transformation of a planet was complete. During this half month, Du You kept increasing the population, then continuously built production buildings, filling up almost all the planned land.
To keep increasing the population, it would have to wait until after the territory was upgraded. No one would have imagined that in such a short time, a small asteroid could be transformed almost into a living planet. Of course, Du You wasn’t worried about his actions being too grand and arousing suspicion, as all Professionals knew this was the result of the territory’s special abilities.
With the support of the Professional Association to cover for him, it would definitely not cause panic among the upper echelons of society. For origınal chapters go to 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
The functions of the Lord’s Mansion are the same at the foundation, only the traits differ. The trait of his new Lord’s Mansion is bountiful yield, which accelerates the construction speed of production buildings, otherwise his territory temporarily couldn’t support so many people. It’s worth noting that in a short time, the number of citizens in Du You’s territory increased tenfold, reaching five million.
As for speeding up production, Du You hadn’t seen it yet, but he would know when the time came.
What Du You could see was the qualification rate, forcibly ensuring that all produced goods were of qualified quality or better. This meant that from now on, there would be no substandard products produced.
But since all his buildings were functional buildings, Du You wondered whether functional buildings could even have substandard products. Never mind, he knew he would find out these things later, as the Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t have useless features.
Looking down at the sub-building, the Science Academy, Du You knew this was the real gem. Because this academy was meant for training civilians. Once civilians entered, they would no longer be ignorant after spending some time there.
These civilians would learn all sorts of knowledge and basic skills of this world, and if taken elsewhere, they would definitely surpass the quality of the most advanced region’s civilians. Otherwise, the general civilians produced wouldn’t understand any of this, and even living would be an issue. As a result, some civilians have already begun attempting to remodel their homes.
While the exterior size wouldn’t change due to the limited space, the amount of functions within has begun to steadily increase.
It seems that before long, coupled with some items bought from other places, they could start living a normal interstellar lifestyle. Moreover, the rate of this popularization depended on the speed at which the basic infrastructure on the small asteroid was completed.
This basic infrastructure isn’t referring to his functional buildings, but rather to the real industrial construction that is also found on other planets. These things, Du You couldn’t expect to perfect them in a short period.
Du You kept sending groups of civilians into the academy to learn, and this would take no short amount of time. Perhaps in the future, he would need to build regular academies, so that some civilian children could study there.
Du You looked towards the third building, the Black Dragon Tower. This was a function building he obtained after killing the Shadow Dragon, and it was also a Mage Tower.
Atop the towering spire, there was a lifelike statue of a black dragon, radiating a powerful presence. Around the tower, there were countless black dragon patterns, resembling a series of artistic paintings. And right in front of the tower, there appeared a black pool. Du You knew this wasn’t water, but highly concentrated dark element.
This liquid dark element was in fact a fine material if taken directly, it was just a pity that it currently had no use.
At the same time, several Elemental Giant Dragons also began to take shape around. They looked similar to Shadow Dragons, but were entirely different. Du You knew these creatures, just like the Giants, were uncontrollable forces meant to defend the territory.
With these thousand Elemental Giant Dragons, even facing several thousand tier four warships, Du You didn’t think he would lose. Of course, that was assuming the enemy wouldn’t use other branches of the armed forces in combination, otherwise, it wouldn’t be certain.
But having such a powerful defense force on a small asteroid was already far beyond the norm.
When the basic construction was complete, Du You finally focused on the normal development of his territory. The first thing he started constructing was the Mobile Miner. Though its name was ordinary, it was actually a mining facility. And most crucially, this mining facility could move.
Du You directly used the territory’s laws to have the newly trained engineers modify it. That’s right, he used the remnants of the mining facilities left behind for modification, making the process faster and more cost-effective.
After completion, these Mobile Miners began to automatically repair the surrounding robots. Mobile Miners could themselves manufacture mining robots, but repairing them was faster and more resource-efficient.
Du You finally saw that the name of these mining robots was Mining Robots.
Mobile Miner (tier three):
Can search for mineral planets or asteroids in space and mine them.
Comes with level 20 Mining Robots, with each miner being able to carry up to 10,000 robots for mining.
Initially focusing resources, Du You didn’t hesitate to manufacture five hundred Mobile Miners, achieving a maximum robot carrying capacity of five million, although there weren’t that many on the small asteroid.
Du You sent out these Mobile Miners towards the direction of the asteroid belt.
"They can mine and manufacture on their own within the asteroid belt; the numbers will be replenished soon, but the intensity of our mining operations is somewhat excessive." Lin Yushi expressed her concern.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already started contacting the Star Ring Company in the rear. Whatever amount of minerals we continuously harvest, the Star Ring Company will purchase the excess we can’t use. Don’t forget, our status is different," Lin Yucha explained directly.
Du You simply stated, "It doesn’t matter. After all, constructing these robots only costs a bit of intrinsic energy, and the miners can regenerate themselves without using Crystal Coins, so there’s no fear of waste. Moreover, without the ore, we wouldn’t be able to construct our buildings here. If we then had to produce weapons using Crystal Coins, the waste would be far too great."
Developing the territory was the thing Du You considered. As for how the mining planet developed, that wasn’t something he needed to think about.
When the time came, he would appoint a manager to worry about those matters. Moreover, Du You already had a candidate for manager in mind—after returning, he planned to bring them over for a trial.
As she watched the last Mobile Miner fly away, Lin Yushi nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood something.
