Chapter 1002: Purchasing a Planet

arts just nowIt's not that bad.Never mind, he shook his head and followed the main force forward."By the way, do you know that before the great disaster, I once visited Canghai Island Half of the Can..........

Once entering a period of peaceful development, it can be said that Lu Cheng's period of dominance has arrived.

During wartime lulls, "muddling through" and maximizing opportunities by leveraging newly developed technologies and limited resources gained during the conflict is arguably Lu Cheng's most noteworthy tactic.

In the first year of entering the safe house era, Lu Cheng decided to start planting high-star laurel.

The growth cycle of a tree is extremely long, and its ecological requirements are stringent. It is estimated that after a century, a batch of usable timber can be obtained to build the hull of a boat. By then, the core elements will also be nearly complete.

But the problem is, currently we don't have any habitable planets on hand.

The Bei Ming Star Dragon Gate has filtered three-tenths of the ocean. The high heat generated by the Five Elements experiment is predicted to dissipate only after sixty years. Industrial pollution produced by the Dragon Palace can be suppressed by all available idle Su Wen, but it is clearly not suitable for a full-scale terraforming of the planet.

The Taiyin has unique resources and a solid terrain, the environment is free from danger, but there is no atmosphere....

It takes a huge investment to create a spiritual environment.

Lu Chengsi thought about it and decided to do a big one.

First, buy a habitable planet from the Whale Clan or the Sand Domain.

The whale clan's homeworld, the Whirlpool Nebula is a habitable celestial body with a four-dimensional core space, gaseous clouds, and swirling currents.

The quote is very high, even at a friendly price, Lu Cheng can't afford it.

Planetary housing in a habitable zone is relatively more affordable.

Lu Cheng had his eye on an unexplored desert planet in the six-star system of Shayu. His offer was to help Shayu-6 complete a terraforming project similar to Earth's, and raise its living standards to surpass that of the late Han Dynasty.

It includes a total of thirty-six sets of wells, a mechanism city, a royal garden, pavilions, waterside buildings, an airship transportation system, and a mountain and sea ecological protection area as well as the wonders [Dead Sea] and the wonder [Jerusalem] floating city.

Ensure the culture, resources, transportation, and living conditions of Shayu-6, as well as resident satisfaction.

When the construction plan for the capital star of Beiming was presented to the Sand Dune Council, it caused a huge stir.

After the victory, the enormous profits naturally silenced the opposition. News of going to the central world also sank without a trace, and even those who wanted to oppose had nothing they could do.

But.......no one opposed it at all.

Because the Beiming Legion finally agreed to support the livelihood of the Shayu people, and they were very generous.

"Wouldn't the noble lords here prefer to move to Capital Star"

The price is also equal, the Sand Dunes must give up one habitable planet that has been discovered but not developed.

That star, deserting seriously....... It won't develop within a thousand years, selling it is fine too.

The Meini family had even less reason to oppose this, so the deal was successfully completed.

........

The deal was successful, but Lu Cheng's industrial sector immediately felt the pressure and the burden became quite heavy.

He showed Shayu a century-long blueprint.

Basically, half of Ryukyu's production capacity is required for this.

...and the other half, well, that naturally involved planting trees on the newly acquired desert planet....

This means that for the first 100 years of the safe house era, nothing else could be done besides these two projects.

All the buildings deployed on Sha domain - 6 are old models and pose no technical challenges. However, pioneering in the desert is much more difficult.

Desert planet

Environment: Habitable atmosphere (normal, low-energy gases), desertification, stellar illumination

Danger level: Gold 7☆

Resources: Sandstone (abundant), Bio-resources (extremely rare, dangerous species), Water (almost none), Other resources (unexplored)

It has a livable atmosphere, but not one of high-energy elements like spiritual energy, negative energy, or burning gas. It's simply ordinary low-energy gas. This means that while habitable, only low-rank cards (white-blue) can obtain energy from the atmosphere to reduce card surface energy consumption.

While high-star units, such as cultivators, cannot breathe on the surface and their consumption will increase significantly.

It seems like this is a losing trade, given the lackluster resources and it only being a low-rated habitable planet.

However, like gambling stones, you need to cut them open to see what's inside. Lu Cheng judged that this planet might have something real inside.

Numerous biomes are active above, with colossal sand worms that have devoured countless expeditions to the dunes. These golden seven-star horrors were the objective reason why the Dune dwellers abandoned this planet for sale.

But it was also the only factor that led Lü Cheng to buy it.

Sandworm, Common creature card, Large, Ability: Burrow.

That's all the other information.

Lu Cheng's idea was simple: low-energy atmosphere couldn't naturally give birth to such exaggerated life forms.

Either these massive food supplies are deep underground, or like Kunlun, they can swallow stones and produce high-star energy....

Both are worth the risk for Lu Cheng.

Looking at the soldier cards in his hand.

Mu Lan's leading militia were clearly not suited for such a high-profile exploration mission.

Lu Cheng decided to go up the mountain to be a teacher, and [Meng Tian] was appointed as commander.

Meng Tian's card skills are extremely suitable for farming and pioneering, and as a mountain and sea general, his command is absolutely sufficient.

As for how to deploy this already golden 9th mechanized army...

Lu Cheng borrowed a large amount of natural gas from his in-laws as energy for the synthetic army, and promised a higher interest rate.

This time, it can be said that I went all out.

The Shan Hai Shi in their hands used a celestial vessel to deploy all at once onto the surface of the desert planet.

Although transportation energy consumption is high, before the arrival of Daishen, only Xianzhou was capable of fulfilling this role.

They brought three rounds of fuel to power the legionary heavy machinery, Tai Yin also used up all its stockpiles, providing the Meng Tian's army with new-age supplies.

.......

Desert planet, sandstorm landing site.

Yellow sand and dust fill the sky, at Hangu Pass. The only remaining heavy fortification of the Shanhai Army, it is slowly being set up as a temporary camp.

The tortoise-shell dome sheltered against the wind and sand, as warriors streamed in, starting to enter the pass.

"Oh my, wow, Commander! It's been so long. You really spoiled me with this delicious meal"

Meng Tian and Lü Cheng are true old comrades-in-arms. During the era of the thousand-year war, Lü Cheng served as a cavalryman under Meng Tian's Long Wall Army. Now, the general is still a general, and the soldier has become a regiment commander.

Clad in the armor of a mountain and sea general, he stood over three meters tall. Lu Cheng's entire body couldn't even reach his shoulders....

The clone sacrificed itself to attain enlightenment, becoming completely frozen. Only the main body could come down with Ah Qing.

But he's not worried about safety issues either. If anyone can break through the defenses of the Shanhai Corps and shoot him, then so be it.

Lu Cheng smiled faintly.

The Shanhai Division has replenished... with a top-tier Taiyin package at the level of nine stars, and even high-grade osmanthus flowers. Coupled with a large number of fuel borrowed from the Whale Clan, this time they've truly invested heavily.

"Good.... good wine. Aside from being a little bit whiny and gossipy, what did the Su Wen folks brew" Meng Tian exclaimed after taking a sip of laurel flower wine.

"Come on, Lao Meng, try this." Lu Cheng nonchalantly took out a four-dimensional nutrient pack: "A special product from the whale clan, I got it specially for you. Xiao Zhao, don't let anyone else have it."

"Well met." Meng Tian beamed. "Bring it here, let me try some."

"Here, eat first. I'm going to see the Virgin Mary and Nezha."

Okay!

Lu Cheng rode on Aqing, swiftly escaping like a flying bird.

........

Na Zha was sent to the Tianmen world, three heads and six arms wrestling with Taixing Wang at a corner... a little drained. Gui Ling Sheng Mu, however, was as usual.

"Lu shidi, the Shanhai disciples have all entered the pass."k wings."All people, remember my true name, Al."Ugh!A loud, resounding, joyful roar.A vast expanse of space, stretching for thousands of miles in the air, rippled like water.A voice travelled out with...
