Chu Jungui sat down opposite Wang Hai. He had gone through all the information again while sitting down.
Sand Cloud Star is the most important resource star of the Sky Territory Republic and one of the habitable stars. There is a storm layer with a thickness of hundreds of kilometers on the planet. Storms occur all year round, and super storms with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers are brewing from time to time.
But the storm clouds here look terrifying, but in fact their lethality is less than a fraction of that of Planet 4. The ion storm on Planet 4 once left mankind helpless, but the storm on Sand Cloud Star is just an ordinary hurricane. With today's technology, mankind can build a very reliable shuttle spacecraft. The ferry boat Chu Jungui took was a classic model that could be hit to the ground by strong winds thousands of times without maintenance.
Nature is magical. Sand Cloud Star is relatively calm at about 1,000 meters close to the surface. Only occasional hurricanes rage, so the buildings here are relatively low and sturdy. Except for a few buildings used for scientific research, there are almost no kilometers. Above.
Rock fragments will fall from the storm layer from time to time, and even thousands of tons of rock will fall. This is the biggest disaster on the planet. All big cities have kinetic energy cannons to defend against rockfalls, which can instantly crush large rockfalls. Ordinary buildings can withstand the impact of ten-ton rockfalls.
Sand Cloud Star is extremely rich in minerals and resources. The storm layer covering the entire planet is an endless source of energy, and the extremely strong magnetic field is another source of energy. In addition, the entire planet's fusion fuel reserves are extremely rich, making the energy price here only one-third of the dynasty average level.
Abundant reserves and cheap energy have made Shayun Star one of the most famous bulk metal production areas of the dynasty. The various metal materials produced here every year are enough to build a brand new habitable star.
Although Sand Cloud is rich in resources, the environment is harsh. It took the Li family 20 years and almost heavy casualties to successfully build the first permanent large-scale base, which laid the foundation for humans to take root in Sand Cloud. Those rough ferry ships and buildings that are almost like war fortresses are the optimal solutions that humans have found in the process of conquering nature.
The most disturbing thing about the natural environment here is the gravity that is 3 times that of the parent star, and the magnetic field that is 50 times stronger. There are ways to protect magnetic fields, but gravity is really tricky. In a high-gravity environment, humans must carry out special genetic optimization, or use specific protective inner armor, and also install some biochemical organs in order to survive here for a long time.
The hotel where Chu Jungui stayed had an artificial anti-gravity system. The gravity environment in the hotel was only half that of the outside world. Although it was still much higher than the home planet, ordinary humans could adapt without special measures. The entire foundation of the city forms an anti-gravity stance. The gravity inside the city is equivalent to twice that of the home planet. If you want to survive here for a long time, you need some corresponding genetic optimization or body organ modification. The mines are all outside the city. If you want to work, you need to wear special power armor to withstand the high gravity environment.
However, when checking the information, Chu Jungui was a little surprised to see that the number of workers in both mines exceeded 30,000. Under normal circumstances, mines with such harsh environments often use a large number of unmanned mining machines to replace humans. It is not common for more than half of the output to be handled by human engineers.
If it were just about mining and metal smelting, Sha Yunxing would be just an outstanding resource star. However, with the unremitting efforts of the Li family, Sha Yunxing also built a commodity exchange that ranked among the top ten in the dynasty, and focused on bulk metals. Futures trading, and many financial trading centers have been built. The Tianyu Republic thus became one of the three major financial centers of the dynasty, and it was able to build a Tianyu fleet that could rival the dynasty's integrated fleet in one corner.
The fat man sitting in front of Chu Jungui is one of the few financial giants in Sha Yunxing. Most of the 5 billion raised by Li Ruobai this time came from him.
Regardless of whether he is an investor or Duan Xuyan's friend, no matter who he is, he is worthy of Chu Jungui's respect. After the three of them sat down, the waiters served the dishes one after another. These waiters can only be described as delicate in appearance, but they are all very strong. They all wear a suit of inner armor and can transform into elite warriors at critical moments. Because they are strong and strong and wear underwear, the figures of these waiters do not quite conform to the mainstream aesthetics. They can only be said to be very slender female bears.
After serving the dishes, all the waiters exited the hall. Wang Hai smiled and said: "Come, try our special dishes. It may be a bit uncomfortable for first timers. But this is the specialty of Sha Yunxing. "
The dishes on the table are mainly soups and large pieces of stewed meat, with a main dish in the middle, and a huge rectangular lunch box filled with green solid fat. As soon as the lunch box was opened, a spicy smell filled the air.
Wang Hai introduced: "This is the oil of a sandworm unique to this planet, and it is also the earliest natural food source. The conditions for the first batch of pioneers to land were difficult, and subsequent supply spacecraft were often unable to arrive due to weather reasons, so this oil It became a life-saving ration. Over the hundreds of years, this dish has been improved a lot, and what we eat now is the most original method."
Chu Jungui picked up the spoon at hand, dug out a large piece of green grease, and put it into his mouth. Seeing Chu Jungui dig out a whole spoonful, Wang Hai's expression changed, and then he watched Chu Jungui's reaction.
When the oil enters your mouth, a strange smell that mixes spicy, fishy, and sour flavors suddenly bursts out, and it's so greasy that it makes your chest feel clogged. The taste of this dish is really hard to compliment. It has nothing to do with delicious. It can only be said to be edible.
However, Chu Jungui's eyes suddenly lit up and he felt the smell of energy! The energy density of this green oil is surprisingly high, several times higher than alcohol! A small bite is enough for an average adult to sustain a whole day's activities, so it's no wonder that the mouth feels greasy.
After taking this big mouthful of fat, Chu Jungui naturally perked up, as if he was recharged, so he praised it and took another big spoonful.
Wang Hai's eyes were a little straight. Li Ruobai coughed next to him and said, "This dish is more commemorative now. Usually we eat it with this special spoon, and we only eat one or two spoons. If we eat more, we won't be able to eat it." Other dishes are available."
Only then did Chu Jungui notice the special silver spoon next to the lunch box. The spoon was only the size of the tip of your little finger and could scoop out about half a peanut-sized amount of grease. It turns out that this spoon is the special tableware for eating this dish. Just like the big spoon in Chu Jungui's hand, one spoonful can absorb hundreds of thousands of calories at least.
Chu Jungui calmly ate the second spoonful and then put the spoon aside.
Wang Hai recovered from the shock and said: "Mr. Chu is indeed extraordinary. So I won't beat around the bush. I have a question to ask Mr. Chu, why do you want a capital ship?"
Chu Jungui said calmly: "I can give you countless reasons, but no matter what the reason is, it will ultimately boil down to one reason: when someone thinks that you may have this thing in your hand, you'd better really have it."
