Each reaper's harvest cycle is a large-scale plunder of the entire civilized world. <乐-文> Novel www.しwxs.com Not only the technological level, but also the materials that the reapers can use are all within the scope of plunder - although the materials they can use are not too much. Later generations only saw a large number of empty cities after the massacre, abandoned on the civilized planet and becoming increasingly desolate, and then completely swallowed by the river of time.
But I didn't see that the reapers still took away some things - biological organic matter, rare metalloids, and element zero.
I'm afraid even the Reapers themselves don't know how much Element Zero they have snatched. Element Zero is contained in meteorites after supernova explosions. This is a manufacturing method after all, so its reserves should theoretically be unlimited.
However, element zero itself is very difficult to mine and refine. For example, Thessia, the home planet of the Asari, is a planet rich in element zero. Since the beginning of civilization, the Asari have a record of mining and using Element Zero - in fact, the reason why the Asari can become a powerful race with both longevity and supernatural talents is that the entire evolutionary history has been influenced by Zero. The radiation of element No. is inseparable.
But since the Protheans were still alive 50,000 years ago, the Asari have begun to use Element Zero. But until this round of harvesting is about to begin, the element zero resources on the shallow surface of Thesia are still not exhausted—50,000 years have passed! The difficulty of mining and refining element zero is evident. Even so, the Asari are still the race with the largest amount of Element Zero in the entire galaxy - so they have ample resources to build a huge battleship like the "Destiny Extraordinary".
But compared to the reapers. Then the Asari's reserves are nothing. Over the past 50 million years, almost every generation of civilization that has developed to a high level has ended up with their Element Zero reserves falling into the hands of the Reapers. so. Why is the shell of the Reaper warship so hard? Because their mass effect cores are always more than ten times or even dozens of times the size of ordinary battleships! This advantage is simply natural and no one can compare with it.
Now, at least a small half of the resources have been gathered into the hands of the Dawn through these wreckage. Therefore, in the entire war, the greatest wealth obtained by the Dawn was not the three hundred intact "Overlord" class battleships - the Dawn had its own "Akatsuki-class" and "Chaoyang-class" designs, and the "Overlord-class" "The battleships are not in their eyes - but after the more than 20,000 battleships were destroyed. The wreckage and element zero left behind!
With these resources, Dawn can finally launch her super-scale shipbuilding plan!
The mirror surface produced when Lu Yuan used portal magic. As an inversion of the boundary between the real world and the underworld. It's the same as Cory Busso using the surface of the ocean as a dividing line in Pirates of the Caribbean, only the scale is magnified billions of times.
Now Blue Giant No. 2 is dragged into the underworld because of its twin relationship with Blue Giant No. 1. It happens to be the projection of the material world in the nether world; in contrast, Blue Giant No. 1 also becomes the reflection of the nether world in the material world. Therefore, the moment Hades was established, Blue Giant No. 1 suddenly increased its brightness by several astronomical levels! This sudden increase in brightness, like a supernova explosion, instantly made it the protagonist in the entire starry sky and attracted the attention of the world.
All operations of the Dawn Mothership are carried out hiding in the strong light of Blue Giant No. 1. Just like looking directly at the sun, you cannot see sunspots. Currently, no trace of Dawn can be found in blue giant observations. However, this kind of explosion cannot last long. After a dozen hours at most, the brightness of Blue Giant No. 1 will fall back. And eventually stabilized at an increase of two magnitudes. By then, if the Dawn is still in the Spear Galaxy, it will have to be exposed to the world...
The Dawn Mothership is taking advantage of this time difference of several hours. He was trying his best to clean the battlefield. Fortunately, Lu Yuan had already prepared. With the return of the "Matrix" sweeper, the cleaning speed suddenly accelerated.
More than three hundred "Overlord" class battleships were towed back intact, and neatly placed into the "Matrix 23" ship like storing tuna in a cold storage, so that one sweeper ship could hold all three hundred battleships. There are still surplus; larger pieces of battleship wreckage that are not easily decomposed. After being directly installed on a large electromagnet, it is adsorbed on the surface of the "Matrix" ship. Then disguise it with some meteorites and soil. It can be carried across the galaxy without being discovered; tens of billions of mechanical spiders work tirelessly, and countless wreckage is finally turned into pieces of metal sheets placed in the warehouse. These materials have even undergone basic processing;
And the most important element zero was solemnly stored in the dimensional world attached to the "New Elona"! Unless the wall of the world can be destroyed, it is the safest warehouse in the world.
…
"It's developed!" Annie said with her eyes shining a little;
"Developed!" Zhao Min sat on the sofa happily;
"It's developed," Yakumo Murasaki repeated with a smile as if building a building;
"It's developed." Even after Li Huamei, who was hundreds of light years away, knew those numbers, she looked at the camera with a smile and read such a sentence in a vulgar manner...
After the results of cleaning up the battlefield were announced, the entire mothership was filled with joy, like a festival.
I believe that this specially recorded video will become an unforgettable memory aboard the Dawn. Not counting fractions, 3.77 billion units of element zero were collected this time; not to mention the 17.5 billion tons of various decomposed and undecomposed materials, of which the proportion of rare metals is as high as 13%! This is a strategic resource that cannot be bought no matter how many star coins you have. At this moment, the Dawn can truly be called a rich country!
With sufficient resources and the already mature industrial manufacturing system on the Dawn Mothership, the Dawn can finally make great achievements.
"Don't forget, we still have an asteroid that we haven't received yet." Ms. Li Ming rejoiced for a while and then took out a star map and said. The Formor Belt asteroid Brace, located in the Carleston Galaxy, was purchased by Lu Yuan from the Star Alliance at a large price, and it also contains a large amount of element zero. If the Dawn failed to harvest enough resources in this battle, the dwarf planet Braith was originally the basis for their next phase of the plan.
Dawn's star-shattering mining method is hundreds of times more efficient than ordinary mining companies. Of course, even if their method is used, others cannot imitate it - first of all, they must have a main gun as powerful as Dawn...
"Take it with you when you leave." Zhao Min calculated the position and route of the dwarf planet Brace, and then said a little greedily. It was impossible to leave him alone. Since it has dismantled and deciphered the main-stage mass effect repeater, Dawn has good technical reserves for large-scale use of Element Zero. This will help them make the mass effect core larger, and even perform multi-core parallelization, which means that the size of future warships themselves will also become larger and larger - so of course the more Element Zero and basic material reserves, the better.
Zhao Min took out the new star map and passed a copy of the information to everyone. "This is Lu Yuan's next plan, and this will be our new home... While we were fighting, Mu Xing had already laid the first ground pile."

"Too ordinary... too ordinary... still too ordinary..." Monica whispered subconsciously while quickly browsing the pictures on the computer.
As a newly promoted TV network news director, it is very difficult for her to convince the subordinates left behind by her predecessor and straighten out the relationship between the department and the department. Officially, it is quite challenging.
But no matter what, achieving outstanding results is still the first step.
Relying on her relationship with the military (the contacts she established when she was forcibly recruited to the Gagarin Space Station last time), Monica learned about the Citadel War through internal channels as soon as the Fifth Fleet lifted the communication blockade. This gave her first-hand information about the detailed situation. Therefore, she had an advantage in reporting on the Battle of the Citadel and had a good start.
Next, of course, is to pursue the victory.
The current hot spots are "Battle of the Citadel" and "Double Star Mutation". Now that "Battle of the Citadel" has begun to enter coverage of post-disaster reconstruction, the heat has dropped. Then Monica's focus will naturally be on another hot spot, "double star mutation". What she is looking at now is the picture about this incident. Some were taken from military observatories and some were taken by ordinary astronomy enthusiasts, all of which came to her through multiple channels.
But the themes of these pictures are all about the suddenly brightening blue giant star, the huge white vortex as big as the entire galaxy, and the "missing incident of the scientific research ship" sent to the Spear Galaxy for detection a few days ago... To be honest, these The pictures are all too ordinary to be honest, and the content above is what the audience has seen - although making the same thing is a way to do it, at the moment they don't meet Monica's needs.
"I need more shocking news..." Monica stopped mid-sentence. Her eyes were firmly attracted to the photo in front of her! "what is that?"
This is a special-effects photo of the Blue Giant, which only captures a quarter of the Blue Giant’s body. The blue giant star is located on the lower right side of the frame and occupies about half of the entire image. Then there is the gushing blue corona, the luminous ion layer above, and then the far-reaching universe... The whole picture is shot with great beauty and visual impact! But that's not what Monica is concerned about...
What her glasses were staring at was a slightly dull patch of color that was blocked by the blue ion layer - it looked like a stain. But Monica knew that no one would dare to send her the processed or contaminated photos! Unless you want to be sued for tens of thousands of dollars in compensation.
She opened the graphics processing software, enlarged the picture, filled it with interpolation, and then enlarged it again...
Finally, her eyes widened in surprise!
A space station as huge as a castle appeared.
