CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 129: PLAN IN ACTION, PSYCHIC’S PARTNER_2

Not only for collecting materials, but also for gathering certain colonial facilities that are difficult to collect but can be gathered by equipment.

At that time, everything will be packed up and taken away together during the jump.

And after this batch of materials is consumed, before the colony can become self-sufficient.

The colony will still need external material supplies for a period of time.

By then, Dusk will definitely not give Chen Ming any chance to act stealthily.

So he can only find a way from the humans or somewhere else.

Actually, the boss can also provide a part of the material source.

Although Chen Ming has decided not to receive excessive help from others, in terms of materials, the help he can afford, Chen Ming can still try to seek out.

It depends on whether the boss is willing at that time.

After all, the purpose the boss showed when he first mentioned building the colony.

It’s not the kind of colony Chen Ming imagined, which is completely under his control, but a colony where he and the boss have equal shares.

So if the boss turns back and is unwilling, it’s quite normal, and Chen Ming would have to figure out solutions on his own.

In the transition period for a small colony, sourcing materials might be a bit difficult for Chen Ming to resolve right now.

After all, the major consumption of colony construction materials is not only on various infrastructures.

But also the materials for maintaining the operation of various facilities, and the materials to enable these facilities to produce, both of which occupy a large part of the colony’s material gap.

Fortunately, Chen Ming now has the Brilliant, and a Brilliant Level Cruiser can do a lot of things.

Even if Chen Ming does nothing now, just takes the Brilliant out to hunt down billion-bounty pirates around, using these pirates to exchange for bounties, he wouldn’t be at a fuel loss.

Using the money to exchange for materials and piecing together elsewhere should be able to last for a while.

As long as the toughest early phase is overcome, once the colony’s development stabilizes, the material gap will be much smaller.

In this way, the normally troublesome long-distance material transport isn’t an issue for Chen Ming at all.

With his current Spiritual Power, it’s absolutely no problem for him alone to support long-distance material transportation for a small colony.

As for the technology needed for colony construction.

Mainly the technology for various infrastructure and expansion facilities.

Including infrastructure, space ports, interstellar inns, industrial zoning, ground defense facilities, etc.

And these technologies can all be solved with just the Brilliant.

The Brilliant usually controls an Alpha Level Dusk individual of a star system colony, having a very high degree of understanding of the colony’s technology within a star system.

As long as there is a set of basic industrial production facilities with an adjustable production line.

The rest just needs adequate materials, and with the Brilliant, the entire colony can be established.

So after solving these three issues, only the last urgent issue needs resolution.

An appropriate colonizable star system.

Chen Ming previously discovered a few valuable planets, but in terms of value, it’s just that one planet.

Chen Ming needs every planet within a star system to be valuable.

Similar to the Star Realm Capital of the Gallo Star Realm.

In this star system’s seven planets, there are at least two mineral planets and an industrial planet to ensure the industrial development of the star system.

Also a gaseous giant planet and an icy giant planet to ensure various rare gases and a substantial amount of volatiles including deuterated light element rare isotopes.

There is also a volcanic planet with extensive geological activities.

Although Chen Ming doesn’t know what’s good about such a dangerous planet, based on his understanding.

Within the Empire, as long as there is a colony with a Patrol Team present, the Patrol Team’s headquarters would be placed on the volcanic planet, turning it into a military planet.

So in the absence of clear specific conditions, if Chen Ming is to establish a colony, it’s best to have such a planet.

Additionally, there is even a habitable planet within the star system of the Star Realm Capital.

The whole star system has everything, being self-sufficient without need for materials from other star systems.

For Chen Ming, such a star system is the perfect colonial star system.

As for the probability of encountering such a star system...

Chen Ming thinks it’s better to look at the dismantled industrial zone of the distant research institute.

In any case.

Chen Ming now needs an exploration ship to explore and investigate outside the Star Realm.

At the same time, he can personally pilot the exploration ship to explore and solve temporary survival issues and colony site selection problems, as long as he reserves enough fuel.

However, the amount of fuel a ship can store is limited.

So Chen Ming has already begun considering how to take advantage of loopholes concerning the inability to replenish fuel for repair ships using his Spiritual Energy.

He will later attempt to install miniaturized fuel production equipment on the ship, then rely on Spiritual Energy to remotely send back materials for fuel production.

But since part of the materials for fuel production is gaseous, he really can’t be sure if it will work.

After all, only trying will tell.

But to solve the problem for an exploration ship, Chen Ming has more than just the issue of fuel to deal with.

Also the source issue.

Because exploration ships are typically armed vessels, it’s actually quite difficult to purchase such a ship through regular channels.

After all, exploring unknown Star Realms is a very dangerous task, even with fleet protection, the safety of the exploration ship itself is somewhat difficult to ensure.
