Chapter 591 Mineral Procurement

In the dark galaxy, the stars continue to emit endless light and heat. One after another, the energy sails made of special alloys crazily capture the light of the stars.

Viewed from a distance, this Dyson structure looks like a huge sphere composed of countless bright points, shining with alternating light of gold and white.

Inside the energy sailboard, countless machines and equipment have stopped running since they were installed.

All kinds of energy emitted by stars, whether thermal energy or particle rays, are absorbed by them and converted into source energy suitable for storage.

On the outer surface of the Dyson sphere, a massive energy storage base, complex transmission lines, and endless computers and machines have been established, which together form a huge energy system.

뀪Network array, densely arranged satellites and space stations, rotate around the giant sphere to provide support and maintenance for it.

Tens of millions of space shuttles, like hard-working worker bees flying all over the sky, continuously transport the massive energy crystals produced by the energy storage base to giant star ports everywhere.

The Dyson Megastructure is a huge system project and a complete energy system. Creation is often much more difficult than destruction.

Compared with the simple and crude destructive plundering of stellar energy collection, the Dyson giant structure only requires higher technical difficulty, and even rises to the level of the concept of survival.

뀗The dividing line between civilization and barbarism is often reflected here.

As a highly developed overlord, the Lance Empire has complete regulations for resource development.

After all, no matter how vast the territory of the empire is, it can still withstand years of violent excavation.

Even if it is a private property, relevant regulations must be followed.

What's more, this galaxy group is just the empire's temporary acquiescence to the temporary trusteeship of his family for the sake of True God Molson.

Although the Molson Consortium is eager to seize energy, it also dares to risk the power of the Ming Dynasty and carry out violent mining that exhausts the land.

If not, there would be no need to spend a lot of time and energy and use massive amounts of money and material resources to build a Dyson giant structure.

Just by forcing multiple giant war stars into the star's gravitational circle and extracting them at close range, similar energy collection efficiency can be achieved.

But doing so will undoubtedly cause huge disturbances to the entire star system, and will also cause irreparable damage to the life stars in the galaxy.

Generally speaking, only outside the empire's borders and within reach of laws and regulations can consortiums dare to do this.

For the deacons of the consortium who have been responsible for external development all year round and are accustomed to rough methods, the current slow development efficiency is really too low.

“Find ways to speed up the collection, and this year’s targets must be exceeded!”

Derien stood in front of the French window, overlooking the surface of Dyson's giant sphere, and said coldly that there were energy storage bases as numerous as stars.

"Deacon, the collection efficiency can be improved, but what really limits us is insufficient transportation capacity."

Behind him, assistant El shook his big head, as candidly as a purebred Ellon.

Compared to his outstanding spiritual talent, Elrond's cunning and cowardice are undoubtedly much more famous.

This is not a stereotype, but the result of the survival of the fittest after countless years of accumulation and selection of racial characteristics and living environment.

In this star field, Ailon 그 is not only synonymous with profiteers, but also a group of staff that higher races like to recruit.

These big heads with weak bodies can fare much better than their subordinate races.

El has worked for Derion for many years and is a true confidant. He also knows that his boss likes to listen to roundabout nonsense, so he naturally has less scruples when speaking.

"Hey, can you think of another way to get more energy transport ships?"

"Reinvent the economy..., let the existing fleet speed up the transportation efficiency, and then increase the speed?"

As expected, Derien did not blame El, but instead asked helplessly with some discussion.

The things that are difficult for Erdu to solve, I think I can do better, so I just point fingers at random.

"There is really nothing we can do about this. The consortium's aggressive sweeps of goods have caused the market price of transport ships to skyrocket. The share of funds that can be allocated to maintain the operation of the Dyson giant and the extraction of various resources is already stretched. ”

“Because of the high-intensity and long-term operation of existing ships, maintenance costs are sky-high.

"Now it is basically at the limit. If the transport capacity is increased, a large number of transport ships will enter an over-limit operation state, and the repair and maintenance costs will increase. The reduction of the safety factor will inevitably lead to a surge in the scrap rate!"

"In my opinion, we have to start from other aspects..."

At this point, El paused deliberately and did not continue.

Derien knew that the other party was still speechless, so he turned around and raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh? If you have any ideas, just tell me!"

"Haha, let me tell you, a fellow interstellar businessman recently approached me and wanted to make a deal with you."

El folded his hands, not hiding his greed.

"놛We have discovered a rich vein of Tedal crystal, and we have organized large-scale mining, hoping to sell it to a consortium nearby."

"nearby?"

Derien was also an expert, and he easily grasped the key point, and his blood-stained eyes immediately turned upside down.

"Is it possible that it was found in this galaxy?"

The price of TEDA crystals is high, but due to the huge demand, it has always been an urgently needed product on the market.

As long as the mining costs can be controlled, you can definitely make a lot of money.

As the largest power in this galaxy, if there are rich mineral veins in this galaxy, Derian will definitely not be willing to let the interstellar merchants take advantage of it. With just a little trick, he can easily put the mining area under the name of the consortium.

After a long time of getting along, El can guess his boss's thoughts without thinking.

"Deacon, this mineral vein is indeed in the asteroid belt of this galaxy, but it is located outside the mining area designated by the consortium, and the mining environment is relatively complex, otherwise it would have escaped our own mining team."

"The other party is very sensible. In my opinion, this deal is still worth doing. There is no need to make trouble."

"After all, as long as we use our own mining team, the mining income of resources must be reported to the consortium for summary before it can be allocated as needed..."

El lowered his voice, and his words were obviously meaningful.

Deren naturally understood what I meant. He hesitated a little before nodding and saying, "Yes, you are right."

After using the power of the consortium to get the mineral vein, and then organizing large-scale mining, it will definitely be hidden from internal supervision. At that time, my private income will at most be a little hard work fee.

The mined Tedal crystals must also be integrated and distributed by the consortium.

God knows how much can be allocated back to me at that time.

But if it is purchased in bulk from interstellar merchants, it will be completely different.

But I can use this to apply for a large amount of purchase expenses from the consortium and extract a reasonable price difference from it, and the interstellar merchants will also have less to show and respect to me.

I can also intercept some Tedal raw crystals, thereby greatly improving energy transportation capacity and exceeding performance indicators and regular assessments.

One deal, multiple profits!

What to choose, even a fool knows!

"Well, then you can do it!" Derian waved his hand and ordered: "I've been busy recently. I'm just going through the approval process to pay for the goods. I haven't asked about other details, and I don't have time to take care of them. Do you understand?"

El understood and nodded hurriedly: "We just happened to contact a long-term source of goods in the market, and we didn't investigate the specific products of the other party at all."

"Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled happily at the same time.
