My Clone Empire

According to estimates, the cost of the entire building will reach US$1 trillion. This is because the main body of the structure is grown from demon seeds. If it is built solely by manual labor, the cost will be even higher.

Of course, this cost includes the track elevator at the top of the building. Without this track elevator, the cost of this new city may be less than 600 billion US dollars.

400 billion orbital elevators may be considered worthless to some people. After all, the Titan Group already owns an orbital launch tower, and an elevator is completely unnecessary.

But you must know that the electromagnetic launch tower can only launch into space, but it has no way to deal with the materials transported from space.

Tang Shizhe planned to produce a large amount of goods on the moon and Mars in the future and dump them to Blue Star. If they only rely on spaceships to transport them, it would cost a lot of money.

Rather than trouble in the future, it is better to get it in place at once, and directly take advantage of the opportunity of building the capital to build the orbital elevator.

By that time, the Titan Group's ability to transport materials to orbit will double!

Higher transportation capacity will greatly accelerate Titan Group's moon and Mars development plans, which is a virtuous circle.

When the new capital is completed, construction will begin to build an electromagnetic orbit over the Blue Star equator for the orbital solar ring to operate.

With the first orbital elevator as the starting point for this orbital solar ring electromagnetic track, the construction of the solar ring will be much simpler.

In less than five years, the world can completely get rid of fossil energy and nuclear energy, and enter a new era of wanton energy use.

In order to be able to build the new capital as soon as possible, Tang Shizhe directly dispatched 80% of the supercavitation submarines and Mogasha-class airships in the army.

With these two major transportation companies, coupled with the large number of ships and ground-effect transport aircraft acquired by the Titan Group, the construction speed of the new city will even be twice as fast as building a new city on land!

At the same time, almost all foundry companies in the world have received super orders from the Titan Group. In order to save their own construction capacity and make way for the Mars base, the Titan Group chose to outsource all unimportant parts and equipment.

After all, the Titan Group can't swallow all the money, so at least some soup is left for those small companies.

time flies

At 23:00 on January 15, 2025, blue star time.

Mars 01 advance base.

With the help of their companions, the five astronauts put on a layer of synthetic spacesuits that are resistant to radiation and high temperature on the outer layer of their forced colonization armored spacesuits.

This space suit has gathered all the cutting-edge technologies of the New Boston Company. Not only does it have a mechanical assist system, but its outer layer of hafnium-lead-titanium alloy armor can withstand high temperatures of up to 5,000 degrees! And provide astronauts with strong protection enough to resist the impact of heavy howitzer shells. (The above data is the data combined with the strong colony armor.)

Tang Jiuling, the captain of Mars 1 (the current commander of the base) who came into contact with the sphere created by an unknown civilization, did not carry any weapons, not even a cold weapon such as a dagger.

The four astronauts responsible for protecting him each carried an electromagnetic rail rifle and a set of space gunpowder rifles with their own oxidizers.

Are you ready? Tang Jiuling clasped the last camera on his body and asked the four astronauts.

Ready! The four clapped their rifles.

Let's go! Tang Jiuling walked into the airtight room first.

You guard the base well. If we have any accidents, take the shuttle and return to orbit immediately.

Don't try to rescue us! Tang Jiuling reached out and closed the airtight door after finishing speaking.

The five astronauts staying in the base saluted the airtight door together.

After a while, a shuttle took off from the tarmac of the base and disappeared into the sky.

Half an hour later, Tang Jiuling and the four astronauts opened the airtight door of the observation camp and walked into the camp.

When everyone entered, the lights in the base suddenly turned on, and all the light poles around the sphere were turned on. Even though the sun had already set, the surroundings of the camp were still illuminated like daytime.

All monitoring instruments have been turned on!

The camera is working fine!

The protective equipment of the camp is working normally! Several astronauts stood in front of the console in front of a floor-to-ceiling window and checked.

When the time for the opposition to the sun comes, Tang Jiuling will walk over directly and get in close contact with the sphere suspended in the air. And they stay in this camp to collect data and prevent possible threats.

As the hour hand keeps turning, the time for Mars to oppose the sun will soon be approaching.

Tang Jiuling took a few deep breaths to calm down his nervousness, and then he put on the mask of the outer armor.

Good luck! The team members stepped forward and bumped Tang Jiuling's fist with their fists.

Tang Jiuling nodded, turned and walked out of the camp building, walking towards the sphere on the top of the mountain step by step.

The goal has been reached! You can start recording! After standing next to the sphere, Tang Jiuling looked at the huge khaki sphere with a diameter of about ten meters in front of him, and switched on the communicator and said loudly.

Countdown to Mars opposition!

three!

two!

One! The four team members in the camp stared at the countdown screen and shouted. When the countdown reached zero, all eyes were on the huge sphere.

Suddenly, a mysterious metal impact sound as long as the Milky Way, as long as the arm whirl, came from this sphere! All the astronauts on Mars couldn't help covering their ears and falling to the ground.

The sphere that was hovering in the air began to rotate slowly, and Tang Jiuling, who had already touched it, was lifted into the air by a mysterious force.

Then, the armor on Tang Jiuling's body was stripped off in an instant, and the forced colonization armor was also torn into pieces by the mysterious force. Blood grooves began to shatter on Tang Jiuling's naked body.

However, in the blink of an eye, the red blood flowing in these blood tanks turned golden, and golden crystals pierced Tang Jiuling's skin and grew out of his body.

The growth of these crystals seemed to be regular, and crystals only grew on Tang Jiuling's shoulders, chest, and thighs where there were no joints.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Jiuling's eyeballs were instantly popped, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyeballs had been replaced by two spherical yellow crystals.

And all his hair fell out, and crystal spikes protruded from his scalp.

Captain! The eyes of the team members who saw this scene through the camera were tearful. These ten people have established a deep relationship during the long flight to Mars, and each of them is no less than a brother-like existence.

We have to save him! A team member grabbed his rifle and was about to run towards the gate, but was stopped by his companions.
