In the face of interests, the short-lived alliance between National Defense Star and Northern Weapons Industry instantly fell apart, with both sides engaging in a war of words.

1% is of course good; it rounds the number and doesn't trigger OCD.

But in the end, it was split into two 0.5%, with neither manufacturer giving an inch.

Military-industrial profits have always been enviable, especially with combat aircraft, which rely heavily on logistical maintenance. The profit from the whole machine is one thing, but the latter maintenance profit is significantly greater. The future expected 23% delivery share is enough to make Chen Fei rich beyond belief, let alone his costs here being virtually zero.

He doesn't even have production or assembly lines, no labor for the whole process, what's there to cost? At most, just a bit of packaging.

Although Chen Fei's percentage is the smallest, it wouldn't be surprising if the combined earnings of the two major manufacturers don't exceed his alone.

Chen Shan's trial preparations continued; his ride was no longer the advanced trainer from National Defense Star but a tactical jet that matched him better. The Chen Family's resources were immediately put to use, making the Sky Knight training program practice easier and smoother.

Chen Fei left his younger brother with four tactical jets and left all the technical documentation of the tactical jets to his uncle for organizing the production of allocated future order quotas. National Defense Star and Northern Weapons Industry's final products would differ slightly due to their respective technical specialties.

The long-standing rivals, National Defense Star Aerospace Company and Northern Weapons Industry Group, joined forces to recommend this crystal jet, defined as a universal model, to the Air Force, facilitating orders.

If The First Sovereign decides to procure, other sovereignties are unlikely to lag behind.

For every Sky Knight in the world, there will be a minimum order for the universal model of the crystal jet. Considering the low price, it's worthwhile to have a spare; it can even be used for practice by Sky Knight candidates.

The total estimated orders won't be less than a thousand. Even if we halve the current manufacturing cost of exclusive crystal jets, then halve that again, and then sell at a rock-bottom price, the profit would still be soaring. Combined with daily maintenance, the total profit would be at least twice the retail profit, and it's the kind of profit that flows in continuously.

Unexpectedly, there is another manufacturer that will earn a significant profit from this.

The energy core super star crystal used by the universal crystal jet can only be provided by Louis Industrial Company, so no matter what they wouldn't earn less from this windfall.

Although Chen Fei has a small amount of self-produced super star crystal, he doesn't even have enough for himself, let alone supply it externally.

The visit to National Defense Star Aerospace Company was brief. After taking his girlfriend Shen Fei back to the Northern Weapons Industry Group headquarters, Chen Fei quickly returned to Socotra Island at the mouth of Aden Bay, where S-Class space ability user Heseman Brown had been waiting for some time.

In the presence of an S-Class power, moving Blue Star to the Keppler Belt takes only a moment.

In the dim cosmic space, countless ice blocks, rocks, and a few dwarf planets float around, one of which is Pluto, one of the Solar System's nine planets. V$i$sit My V-i*r^tual& Li@b#r$a!r+y% Em%p^i*r&e^ (M-V-LEMP-!Y@R.)! for m#o#re#.

This is the best source for acquiring water, gas, and land plate substrates. Before the seed from Seed Nest McKenny gave to Chen Fei sprouts, given Chen Fei's psychic power index, he could only choose relatively small celestial bodies as resources for the "Boundary Pearl" life space, eyeing those massive objects with envy.

But now, Chen Fei is no longer alone; he also has a unique seedling that can share psychic power beyond the human limit, allowing him to target those massive bodies over 1,000 kilometers in diameter at will, significantly increasing the efficiency of filling the life space beyond 10,000 kilometers in diameter by more than an order of magnitude.

In the vast celestial group of the Keppler Belt, some celestial bodies flash conspicuous red lights and simultaneously release intense electromagnetic pulse signals. The small airships transported here by S-Class space ability skills identified their positions immediately.

"Through spectral analysis and component sampling identification, a total of 237 heavy element celestial bodies have been confirmed, ranging from a minimum diameter of 2 kilometers to a maximum diameter of 800 kilometers. The heavy element composition is primarily osmium, tungsten, gold, lead, silver, iridium, and some other platinum group elements, along with a considerable proportion of rare earth elements, representing a substantial value."

Heseman Brown has been outrageously busy recently, constantly shuttling between Blue Star and the Keppler Belt to perform preliminary scans of the numerous celestial bodies in the Keppler Belt, and then proceed with samplings of high-probability targets identified through spectral recognition, finally determining the actual targets.

"Mr. Brown, you have worked hard. Strive to settle all these celestial bodies within a week."

The "Sagali" civilization hasn't granted Blue Star much time. Even though both sides are temporarily in a peaceful state, this state is not permanent and is instead a harbinger of a storm. Chen Fei must quickly stabilize the life space of the "Boundary Pearl" to make it suitable for human habitation. Should the situation on Blue Star become irretrievable, at the very least, humanity would still have a way out.

Although it couldn't shelter all the Blue Star People, it is still better than fleeing miserably into the void with only a handful of people.

"Rest assured, when I'm handling matters, we are in good hands."

The S-Class space ability user patted his chest, having not been busy in vain.

The small flying ship, carrying Chen Fei, shuttled back and forth through the Keppler Belt. The pre-located heavy element celestial bodies were quickly transferred one by one into the life space of the "Boundary Pearl." Even the psychic power shared from the "Seed Nest" seedling could easily seize celestial bodies over 1000 kilometers in diameter. Still, the continuous absorption of so many heavy element celestial bodies consumes enough psychic power to reduce a Psychic Dragon to dried dragon meat.

After approximately four or five days of rest, Chen Fei finally managed to transfer all the heavy element celestial bodies Heseman Brown had selected from the Keppler Belt into the Life Space, even adding a few extra celestial bodies.

When Chen Fei re-entered the life space of the "Boundary Pearl," he appeared again within the fully enclosed city of "Atlantis." Although the perceived gravity still hadn't changed, the crystal energy consumption to maintain Blue Star's standard gravity in the city had noticeably decreased.

The gravity outside "Atlantis" had reached about 99% of Blue Star's standard gravity,

The gravity effect brought by the mass of heavy elements brought into the life space had an almost immediate effect.

When the heavy elements thrown in are absorbed by the underlying lava flows of the continental plate, and even form a gravity core, the life space's gravity will gradually stabilize to Earth's standard gravity.

At this moment, the scene outside the skylight of "Atlantis" was entirely like a molten lava sea, with the ground rising or subsiding occasionally, and 8 or even 9-magnitude earthquakes were a commonplace event here. The continental plate quaked relentlessly, and surface temperatures surpassed 800 degrees Celsius, with vast amounts of water vapor rising into the sky, falling back as rain or even hail, pounding down hard, while the accumulated ice sea completely melted into liquid, raising monstrous waves. The wild storms and gales swept without rest over land and oceans. The occurrence of extreme weather signifies the accelerated cycle of matter and energy in the life space.

The S-Class ability user standing with Chen Fei, watching the misty colors outside the city, murmured in puzzlement: "It might take several years to calm down!"

Throwing so many heavy element celestial bodies in is like splashing cold water into a hot oil pan.
