Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 282 Heading into Space, Vast and Boundless! (4K)
Without hesitation, Li Ye immediately began making plans.

This time, Tomorrow Alliance is no longer responsible for drilling for oil and gas in the desert area, but instead directly sells the mining rights for the entire region.

The object of the sale is the Titan Throne.

Because H6 happens to be located here.

In fact, after obtaining the professional training books for astronauts, Li Ye instructed the city neighborhood committee to arrange the selection and training of astronauts on the Tomorrow.

The astronauts have long been trained and are just waiting to leave the field to carry out the space program.

This time, Fang Ying, the lord of Natural H6, will act as the middleman.

"Does this desert region really have so much oil and natural gas?" he asked in surprise.

After confirming the facts, the two parties began to negotiate the price.

This time, Liye dispatched his own trade department.

After several hours of discussion, the two sides finally agreed on a price.

Tomorrow Alliance sold the mining rights to Titan Throne for 315 million crystals.

Li Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

If the Tomorrow Alliance were to mine it themselves, the profits would naturally be more than 315 million crystals, but it would undoubtedly be very time-consuming.

After all, they are mining oil and gas fields in the entire desert area, and they also have to guard against giant fish and plants roaming underground.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to get the money in hand sooner so that we can free up our resources to plan the space program.

Through Fang Ying's initiative, Li Ye met with the expert in charge of the space program at the Titan Throne.

Li Ye immediately asked the question that interested him most.

So how can mobile cities travel to space?

“Even a super rocket couldn’t carry a Level 1 mobile city, given its weight and size,” the expert replied. “Therefore, we will disassemble the Level 1 mobile city into hundreds of standardized modules, send them to space in batches using multiple reusable rockets, and then assemble them in space using a space station or a space-based mobile city.”

"Oh!"

Li Ye suddenly realized.

This method is indeed feasible.

Actually, he should have thought of this when he saw the modular buildings on Home Island.

He thought for a moment, then asked another question.

"With the size and weight of a level 0.5 mobile city, it's possible to travel to space by rocket, right?"

The expert nodded.

"That's true, but the space available for a Level 0.5 mobile city is very limited. What's usually launched into space are Level 1 mobile cities, which can serve as space stations, colony bases, and extraterrestrial exploration missions."

Li Ye nodded in agreement.

In space, a Level 1 mobile city can indeed play a greater role than a Level 0.5 mobile city.

"If a mobile city is to travel to space, it must need a series of corresponding space accessories, right? Could you please introduce them to me?" he asked.

The expert immediately listed them out for him one by one.

A four-stage fusion propulsion engine specifically designed for mobile cities in space.

A four-stage plasma steering system capable of precise maneuvering in the microgravity environment of space.

A Level 4 urban magnetic field shield to protect against space radiation, solar wind, and cosmic rays.

A level 4 urban gravity ring capable of simulating artificial gravity through centrifugal force.

A four-stage air circulation system capable of producing oxygen and circulating it within a mobile city.

A Level 4 space ecological dome that envelops the entire city.

After exchanging ideas, the two sides finally got to the key topic.

"How much would it cost to purchase a Level 4 space-based mobile city, launch it into space, and assemble the entire process?" Li Ye asked.

After careful consideration, the expert provided an answer.

In Titan's Throne, a base Tier 1 mobile city costs 100 million crystals to build.

The corresponding level 4 mobile city space accessories are generally around 20 crystal coins each.

The cost of rocket launch and space assembly is 80 crystals.

"So that's roughly 300 million crystal coins," he concluded.

Li Ye nodded slightly.

The cost was within his expectations.

"The Titan Throne currently has modular, space-based mobile cities that can be launched at any time, as long as you have the manpower ready," the expert advised.

After a moment's thought, Li Ye gave his reply.

"Please give me two days."

Over the next two days, Tomorrow Alliance made intensive preparations for its space program.

The plan is to deploy 30 astronauts to the space-based mobile city, including specially trained lords and helmsmen.

He also invested resources to create 30 Star Traveler spacesuits in the production workshop.

In order to launch 30 astronauts and a Level 4 resource transport device into space, Li Ye specially built a rocket launch platform and the Tian Suo III rocket in the hilly area, and also specially built the "Tian Ti Jun" atmospheric shuttle to serve as a spacecraft.

He named the newly acquired space-based mobile city "Stars".

Titan Throne was responsible for launching the Starship to its designated location in space and assembling it, while Tomorrow Alliance was responsible for launching its own astronauts into space to land on the Starship.

There is another crucial issue at hand.

To facilitate communication between the Starships roaming in space and the Tomorrow Alliance, a network of Level 4 city data center base stations is used.

By investing resources to build a branch station, which astronauts can take into space and install on the Starship, the Starship will then have internet access.

As for the medium of communication, it was a computer that the neighborhood committee purchased from the Jiayuan Island store.

By purchasing Tier 4 upgrade blueprints, Li Ye upgraded the resource teleportation device on the Tomorrow and even invested resources to build a pair. One of them will be taken by the astronauts to the Starship for installation.

Upon realizing that their alliance was about to launch a space program, the residents of Tomorrow Alliance became incredibly excited.

Li Ye himself was no exception.

Mining on Wayne Star is just the first step; his space program is a long-term and ambitious plan.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh. The preparation process was truly tedious and troublesome.

As the appointed time arrived, Tomorrow Alliance launched a rocket carrying the astronauts into space.

at the same time.

Titan Throne rocket launch site on a certain continent.

This launch site is located deep in the vast desert and has a large cluster of rocket launch platforms.

Each launch pad is encased in thick armor and covered with a high-temperature resistant coating, gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the blazing sun.

The intricate network of fuel delivery pipelines stretches across the ground like blood vessels, from which high-pressure steam gushes out, forming a swirling white mist around the platform.

The towering service tower, like a mechanical giant, guards the rockets ready for launch. Its steel frame is densely packed with maintenance pipes and cable trays, and warning lights flash from time to time.

Inside the launch site's command center, a wall of light composed of hundreds of display screens continuously refreshed real-time data, while technicians busily and tensely carried out the final rocket launch retrieval work.

After confirming that everything was in order, they nodded.

To launch the Stars into space, the launch site will need to mobilize a total of 10 rockets this time.

As the launch countdown began, the platform carrying the rocket started to tremble, the cooling system spewed out a torrent of water, and dozens of rocket engines ignited simultaneously, spewing out dazzling blue-white tail flames. The deafening roar tore through the silence of the desert, and the launch site instantly transformed into an erupting volcano.

Ten launch pads simultaneously erupted in blinding blue-white flames, their blazing tails sweeping across the land like the breath of a dragon, turning the steel platforms a fiery red.

The swirling mushroom cloud created by the rocket launch shot straight into the sky, with debris and dust suspended in the shockwave.

On the screen in the command center, the rocket cluster slowly ascended into the sky, trailing dazzling fiery tails. Hundreds of contrails intertwined in the sky, forming a giant burning net, and the thick smoke from the burning propellant obscured half the sky.

After breaking through the atmosphere and reaching near-Earth orbit, the rocket opened its hatch and deployed the mobile city modules one by one.

Not far away, a mobile city from the Titan Throne slowly approached.

Although it is a Level 1 mobile city, it has a Level 4 engineering configuration.

The city then received all the city modules transported to space by the rocket and began assembly in space.

Various engineering facilities such as robotic arms, cranes, and working claws were put into operation, and there was even a complete set of engineering robots.

The first part of the construction is the core framework module of the mobile city. When the working claws are embedded into the standardized interfaces on the surface of the module, dazzling welding sparks burst out. Three robots work together, connecting the beams and nodes like a precise surgical operation.

With the orderly and coordinated assembly of engineering equipment and robots, the Stellar spacecraft gradually took shape. The entire assembly process resembled exquisite origami art.

Once the last module was assembled, the Stellar spacecraft was officially completed.

Meanwhile, Tomorrow Alliance astronauts also arrived in space via rocket, piloting a space shuttle.

After confirming that there were no omissions in the assembly of the Starship and that it was functioning properly, the mobile city of the Titan Throne departed, and the astronauts of the Tomorrow Alliance landed in space.

Their first task was to install the resource transmission device and data substation they had brought.

With the data substation installed, the Starship was officially connected to the network, thus linking with the Tomorrow Alliance on the ground.

At this moment, Li Ye and his team are in the circular hall of the satellite control station, a Level 4 city building that will now serve as a bridge for communication with the Qunxing satellite.

The moment the communication was connected, enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, Li Ye nodded slightly.

Now, the Starship can travel to Wayne for mining and exploration.

Although Venn is the closest exoplanet to Weilan Star, the two are still 5210 million kilometers apart.

At the speed of a conventional spacecraft, it would take several months to arrive.

However, three major human organizations have joined forces to build a Level 5 super project in space.

A dedicated space acceleration track for mobile cities leading to the planet Wayne is established, with sections every 500 kilometers to ensure continuous acceleration.

These super orbits traversing the cosmos are like the cosmic spine forged by the gods, assembled from tens of thousands of giant alloy trusses, each section of rail gleaming with a highly polished, mirror-like cold light.

In the perpetual vacuum environment, frost at temperatures hundreds of degrees below zero will always condense on the orbital surface.

By riding on a space orbit, the mobile city can gradually accelerate upwards and speed towards the planet Wayne.

What was expected to be a journey of several months will be compressed into three days.

This is what the experts told Liye at the time.

To avoid being discovered and destroyed by the monsters, camouflage devices are also installed in the space orbit.

When not in use, it blends seamlessly with the entire starry sky.

"I have to say, this world-class organization is really thoughtful," Li Ye remarked upon learning of the matter.

Following the location provided by the experts, the Stars found its orbit and boarded it.

Three days later, the space-based mobile city arrived on the planet Wayne and began its landing.

Viewed from orbit, the planet Wayne resembles a forgotten, rusty iron world, its surface sculpted by billions of years of wind and sand into an epic wasteland.
A massive mountain range rises abruptly from the ground, reaching heights of tens of thousands of meters, its gently sloping crater large enough to swallow a small city. The cliff edges cast jagged shadows in the sunlight, resembling the earth's gaping maw.

As the line of sight extends northward, a colossal canyon lies prominently. Looking out, it resembles a gruesome scar torn across the earth.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the canyon is over 7,000 meters deep and spans nearly 4,000 kilometers in length—enough to divide a continent in two.

On the other side of the planet Wayne, there is a stark polar landscape. Because more than 90% of the planet's atmosphere is carbon dioxide, the temperature drops sharply to below -100 degrees Celsius during winter, causing large amounts of carbon dioxide to condense into dry ice and cover the surface, forming an ice layer.

In this desolate landscape, impact craters are scattered like stars, and the radiation patterns of some of the younger craters are still clearly visible.

The most striking feature is a giant basin, a massive scar with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers. Its bottom is tens of thousands of meters below the surrounding plains, and the pit walls are as steep as if cut by a knife. Over millions of years, the sediments inside have formed strange concentric circles.

Once preparations were complete, the Starship began its landing on Wayne.

The mobile city plunged into the atmosphere of Venn, instantly tearing a gash in the already thin atmosphere. The city's space dome, amidst the extreme heat, displayed astonishing vitality, diverting deadly heat outwards and exhibiting a bizarre iridescent effect as its angle changed.

The overpressure generated by atmospheric friction caused the urban structure to emit a violent shriek, with each urban framework transmitting dangerous harmonic vibrations.

As the distance gradually decreased, the entire city initiated a series of descent procedures, frequently adjusting its descent trajectory.

The rust-colored sandstorm unique to the planet Wayne has now transformed into billions of miniature meteorites, which continue to bombard the city's armor and the space dome, exploding into endless fluorescent ripples on the surface.

Finally, the Starship landed safely on the surface of Wayne.

At this moment, its armored shell was covered with scorching patterns, shimmering with a newborn luster in the twilight of Wayne Star like a newly forged artifact.

In the circular hall, Li Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

"We've finally landed safely."

During the three days that the Stars spacecraft was in orbit, he would come to check on it frequently, and this was the most nerve-wracking time for him.
