Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 71 The ship takes off
Gray Goo Company was established in the space engineering base of the northern continent. At this time, one hundred space engineering ships were neatly displayed in a vast open space.

Whoosh!
When the engine system of the first engineering ship was activated, a blue energy arc streaked across the sky, leaving a trace of flame that could not dissipate for a long time, making the originally dim and colorless sky light up like stars.

Even if it was just an engineering ship, its initial speed when it started was astonishingly fast. The staff on the ground who coordinated with the engineering ship to lift off couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations.

Because when the first engineering ship took off, its initial speed reached the astonishing sub-light speed standard!
Sublight speed, 90.00% of the speed of light!
A terrifying speed greater than 270 m/s!

Such a terrifying speed made the first engineering ship swoon out like a shadow of time almost as soon as it started, disappearing directly within the speed monitoring radar range of the ground space monitoring station in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, when it appeared again, it was already in the deep starry world in outer space.

And on the flat ground where the first engineering ship originally stayed, there was only a messy hill that was piled up like a mass grave due to the sudden generation of powerful kinetic energy that directly caused horrific damage.

Just after the first engineering ship took off, its own speed continued to increase, 91% of the speed of light, 92% of the speed of light, 93% of the speed of light...

After stepping into the starry sky, the fastest cruising speed of this engineering ship has reached an even more astonishing 97% of the speed of light!
After that, the second, third, fourth... engineering ships one after another took off in an orderly manner according to their numbered array.

Like a sharp arrow shot out of the bow, it disappeared into the night sky.

The aerial fleet composed of one hundred engineering ships, like uninvited guests, broke into a strange world that was previously out of reach and began their plunder.

The real-time images of the engineering fleet taking off were broadcast to all parts of the El Star.

In every division of every continent, every company employee who was eagerly awaiting the good news in front of the holographic image projector showed excitement when they witnessed the anticipated scene.

In the space engineering plan built by the company, even if it is just an engineering ship, each one has a huge hull with a length of more than one kilometer. The one-kilometer-long high-strength alloy hull looks like a ship from the outside. An alloy monster-like existence.

When seeing those giant beasts rising into space, even the most ignorant low-level employees knew exactly what this meant to the company.

Starting today, Gray Goo Company has officially opened a new door for its employees.

When the engineering ship took off, and the mysterious world above the night sky that they could only see and watch in the past, but could never touch up close, was displayed in front of them, no one could help but feel excited.

"Long live the company!"

"Long live Gray Goo!"

……

Countless low-level employees were deeply attracted by the scene in front of them, and they rushed to shout from the bottom of their hearts.

They saw that the company really fulfilled the promises it had made before, allowing them to see a bright future.

Over a year!
Just over a year!
The company has achieved such impressive results in its space engineering program. This is a sight that could not be seen or even dared to be imagined in the old days when there were many superpowers on the Aer planet.

Because of this, more company employees are attracted, more integrated into this group, and more willing to selflessly dedicate everything to this company that carries their hopes for a better future.

Beyond space.

After taking off, the first Gray Gu engineering fleet entered outer space and immediately began the implementation of their projects in accordance with the originally planned plan.

One hundred engineering ships are like a hundred worker ants that arrived at their destination first and began to build nests for their "new home" in a strange world.

The first step is to establish a complete extraterrestrial monitoring system, and then add supporting space docks, space mineral mining plants, stellar energy collection devices, etc.

These infrastructure projects were integrated and turned into a "stellar base construction project."

Stellar base, also known as stellar space station.

In addition to centralizing the construction of basic space facilities, its main role is to fully integrate and utilize all observable resources in a star system.

Therefore, star bases are generally built in orbits closer to the main star of the galaxy.

In other words, to build a star base, an engineering ship must be close to the star to carry out engineering operations.

Such work is definitely an unimaginably arduous project for those low-level aerospace civilizations with shallow industrial and aerospace technology.

But for the Gray Goo First Engineering Fleet, which had already anticipated this situation, it was indeed a simple project.Engineering ships that can cruise at sublight speeds at any time within the star system can not only easily perform all tasks in this project, but can also complete the tasks assigned to them by the company at an extremely fast speed.

Since the Aiur galaxy, which is the home star of Gray Goo Company, exists in the Aiur galaxy, it is a binary star system with two stars. Therefore, when building a star base, the engineering risks will be relatively high.

Therefore, as the commander of Gray Goo's first engineering fleet, and following the launch of the engineering fleet, Victor decided to assign fifty engineering ships to build the star base.

In addition to building star bases, the company also plans to exploit other resources in the galaxy.

In addition to the two stars in El Star, there are six planets besides the company's home star, El Star.

These six planets are either lifeless and desolate planets, or they are ice planets or gas giant planets where life cannot be born at all.

Six planets, including one desolate planet, two ice planets, and three gas giant planets.

That desolate planet has mineral resource reserves that are comparable to those of El Star, but it does not have an atmospheric ecological environment suitable for the survival of ordinary organic life.

In order to exploit the resources on the desolate planet, the company plans to build a resource transfer station on the periphery of the planet, and then invest a large number of gray goo intelligent machines on the planet to mine mineral resources, and establish an intelligent equipment assembly plant and an unmanned machine alloy production factory. Make this planet self-sufficient and quickly become the company's resource output planet.

As for the two frozen planets, there are actually a lot of mineral resources, and these mineral resources are even abundant to an extremely considerable extent.

It’s just that these two icy planets are too close to the two stars in the middle of the galaxy, and their planets’ magnetic fields are extremely unstable. Investing in gray goo intelligent machines and building unmanned factories on the icy planets will not be effective in the short and long term. It is an extremely loss-making transaction.

Therefore, the company has not invested much in these two planets for the time being. It has only established two small resource mining stations. However, it plans to directly use the method of divided mining after the current space engineering plan is completed in the future. These two icy planets were surgically mined and smelted so as not to waste the vast mineral resources present in their planets.

There are also those three gas giant planets. Although there are not many mineral resources, they contain huge amounts of alien gases. These alien gases are excellent natural gas resources, and they are resources that cannot be wasted for the company, so they are also It is planned to establish relevant resource extraction stations for extraction.

The two asteroid belts in the galaxy have also been detected by the company's engineering ships. They contain a large amount of mineral resources and have research value. Therefore, there are plans to build extensive mining stations and observation and research facilities in their orbits.

One hundred engineering ships hardly had much time to stay before they entered into busy work one after another.

Soon, a large amount of resources will be continuously mined from this galaxy and supplied to the company's space engineering program.

Just one month after the engineering fleet commanded by Victor took off, five more space ships quietly took off from the space engineering base in the northern continent.

The five ships launched this time are not engineering ships, but scientific research ships.

These scientific research ships have the ability to explore independently and travel far. They will also participate in the subsequent stages of the company's space engineering plan and play an important role.

……

Just when the company's space engineering program was being launched with great vigor.

On El Star, the top executives of the companies have entered a strange state.

Unlike the majority of lower-level employees, they are excited and excited about the current achievements of the space engineering program.

When the members of the selfish faction learned that hundreds of engineering ships had been launched into space under the command of chief engineer Victor, and that large-scale space engineering facilities had been constructed in outer space, they actually showed a complicated expression.

They gathered together again for a private meeting.

"Damn it, why? Why are all the people from the engineering department and scientific research department involved in the space engineering program? Why can't people from our department participate?" a deputy director of the operations department yelled.

"There is no way. According to the company's regulations and the CEO's plan, only talents from the engineering department and scientific research department can perfectly handle such a project. There is no reason for us to get involved." A senior executive from the planning department said. He smoked a cigar and flicked the ashes to console him.

"Even if we have no reason to get involved, that doesn't mean that people in other departments don't even have the power to mobilize resources behind the project, right?" the deputy director of the operations department shouted even louder.

His voice was a bit cathartic and noisy, but it struck a chord.

"That's right. The CEO doesn't even give our departments the power to allocate resources behind the scenes. What kind of talk is that?" A senior official from the Ministry of Labor also echoed:

"Does the company only have two departments: engineering department and scientific research department?"
