the days before i bought the galaxy

Montgart was awakened by the orderly.He wouldn't want to live in a bungalow like this if possible.Like many ancient military strategists, he also believed in the theory that the commander must develop a strong bond with the warship.Therefore, even in Bethel, as long as it is not a vacation, he will live on his own spaceship.But because he is on someone else's territory, he has to give the host some face.

"Report the time and today's itinerary." Menggalt washed up quickly, and took the military uniform handed to him by the orderly.

His escort work has actually been completed here, so he just needs to stay by Mirit Leslie's side until he receives new instructions.There is no sign of space pirates, and everything seems to be very peaceful.

Montgart was past the age of eagerness to fight, and his calm personality made him highly valued by the administrator.As the commander of a frigate, fighting is not what he aspires to, and nothing happens to him is the real success.

"Ground adaptation training from 8:14 to 18:[-], meals at [-]:[-], and no other schedule." The orderly reported with a serious face.

Montgart glanced at his watch. It was 06:30 in the morning. He was always in the habit of exercising for a while before starting his day.

"How is the situation outside?"

The earth outside the window has been dyed the color of the red sun, but fortunately this red is not particularly dazzling.Montgart once spent half a year in a place with 24-hour daylight, an experience that was difficult even for him.

"Warren Slim and his lieutenant, Odin, set sail two hours ago to inspect the surrounding galaxies. He seems to have brought back some goods for other developers and is eager to deliver them."

"Huh? They're earlier than me?" Menggalt felt a vague feeling of unwillingness.

He believed that the failure in the war to pursue Mirit was entirely due to the large age gap between him and Mirit, and the boy who happened to be favored by Mirit didn't have much real talent at all.This thought continued until his first contact with Warren, and now he has to reluctantly admit that Warren does have a little bit of excellence.

"What about the others?"

"The others should not be up yet. By the way, Lan asked me to convey to you 15 minutes ago that he wanted to invite you to visit the infrastructure on this planet."

Menggal nodded.Lan once worked as an assistant to him, so it's not surprising to know his routine.And the robot does not need to rest, it is normal to be able to pinpoint the time to make an invitation.

"Turn on my exercise equipment, add a visit to Miss Leslie to the afternoon's itinerary, and remember to prepare a present for me."

The orderly took note of Montgart's request carefully.

After a routine workout, Montgart returned to the frigate in an airship.Just in case, he arranged for four days of acclimatization training, so that the soldiers could fully understand the surface of the planet.Although such training does not necessarily require him to sit in person, Montgart is used to training with soldiers.He has always believed that the word "obedience" comes from "admiration". If you can't make every soldier feel sincerely convinced, but just drink red wine and watch them sweat profusely, you will not be able to obtain complete obedience anyway.

After finishing the ground adaptation training, Montgart took a shower, changed into a military uniform that would only be used on formal occasions, and brought an exquisite gift before arriving at Mirit Rice. Li's villa entrance.His hair was scrupulously brushed back under his military cap, and his beard and nails were carefully trimmed.He even recited a short poem to please his sweetheart.Of course, he had no intention of taking love by the sword.He just felt that since he might be stationed on this planet for a period of time, it would be a good choice to be friends with a charming lady.

It is a great pity that Montgalt did not see Mirit.Millet's adjutant, Schiller, told him that Millet was seriously unaccustomed to the planet and was receiving treatment in the treatment cabin.On the one hand, Montgart was worried about Mirit's condition, but on the other hand, he felt that this kind of thing was completely reasonable. After all, Mirit had never been to such a desolate planet.

After the four days of adaptive training, Menggalt informed Lan that he could take half a day to visit the construction of the planet.Millet's situation did not improve at all, which made Menggalt's mood a little bad.

When he saw the robot again, he still had to admire that this artificially created machine was really suitable for being a soldier.Absolute obedience, far beyond the physical functions of ordinary people, the possibility of working without sleep, if it weren't for the lack of creativity and adaptability of robots, maybe there would have been no place for natural people in the army?

While driving the airship, Lan introduced everything about Hongdu to Menggalt.Montgart looked down at the simple buildings below the airship, and suddenly a very strange feeling rose in his heart.He wasn't born in Bethel.When he was seven years old, he took a spaceship to Bethel, which was still under construction.At that time, he had seen the scene below through the screen, and it was exactly the same as the scene he saw now!

No, no, no, the layout design of this planet is more imaginative and unconstrained compared to the strictly symmetrical Bethel, but it is impossible to pick out any flaws.

Menggalt imagined in his mind where government agencies and various places might appear, and his heart suddenly tightened for a moment.

"You are building a city, a real city!" he exclaimed.

It is almost a hundred light-years away from Bethel, and it is not out of the question to build an urban planet.But the periphery of this planet is a vast and boundless no-man's land. Is it necessary to build a city in this place?

"Warren said this will be our home." Lan said with a smile, "He spent half of his time on the layout design of Hongdu, and even when he was sailing in space, he changed his layout from time to time. Blueprints. I don’t know if it’s going to be a real city, but I like it, it’s a place that makes me feel at ease.”

"Red City..." Menggalt silently remembered the word.

Is it the city corresponding to Baidu Bethel?

"Let's go to the beach! Warren likes that area the most, and he has made a complete plan for every section of the coastline." Lan suggested.

"Can I see the future plan of Hongdu? As long as it is simple." Menggalt asked suddenly.

Lan shook his head: "Sorry, I can't give it to you without Warren's authorization."

"It's okay." Menggalt pursed his lips, "I think you will succeed, Hongdu will be a great city, and my father probably went to Bethel with this belief. Leslie Miss is indeed a very far-sighted person, and I can't compare to her in this regard."

During the second half of the day's itinerary, Menggalt was always a little bit unmotivated.This kind of blow is like someone telling him that you can only be a general at best and not a marshal.He didn't want to let himself feel admiration for Warren, because admiration would eventually develop into obedience, and Warren was not the object of his submission.

But if the object of obedience is Miss Leslie, perhaps it is not impossible.

Montgart found himself longing, more than ever, to see the wise and beautiful woman much younger than himself.

"It should be around here." Millet stared at the screen, frowning slightly, "The range calculated by the angle between the two rays is very accurate, and the deep space crystal mine must be in this area. It is definitely a large area." Only one or two rays can only be emitted by deep space crystals.”

"Don't worry, we'll find it." Compared with Millet's anxiety, Warren was not worried at all.

The existence of this wealth is not of vital importance to him.Besides, he couldn't help Milit in the matter of treasure hunting, he just acted as a witness.

"Let's go around to the back of this planet to take a look. Maybe the position of the deep-space crystal mine has changed due to the gravity of the planet." Mirit speculated while starting the spacecraft.

"what?"

The two were stunned when clear images began to appear on the screen of a detector specially installed to search for deep-space crystals.

It was an elliptical belt like Saturn's rings, lying quietly in the dark universe, but there were no planets in the middle.Each "grain" on the ring is a collection of many deep-space crystals.

Mirit was so excited that she almost forgot to breathe, her eyes were fixed on the screen: "You said... there will be... how much will there be?"

Warren frowned: "Based on the volume seen so far, there should be hundreds of millions of deep space crystals."

"Hundreds of millions..." Millet repeated softly.

As the spacecraft continued to move forward, larger collections of deep-space crystals slowly appeared in front of them.

"At present, the number may exceed one billion." Even Warren couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Milliet, let's go around and see how big this mining area is in total."

Because there are no impurities in the deep space crystal mine, the total value can be estimated according to the volume.In order not to miss any deep-space crystals, Mirit slowed down the speed of the spacecraft, and it took about three hours to find out all the veins.The shape of this deep-space crystal mine is like four elliptical rings that are nested together, each ring faces a different direction, and the number of deep-space crystals is the largest where the rings touch each other, forming huge aggregates, and In the opposite direction, the width of the ring becomes thinner and thinner, and some places even break, and only some sporadic deep-space crystals are scattered in the universe.Judging from the volume, the total value of this deep space crystal mine is between 15 and 20 billion, which has far exceeded the total assets of ordinary large chambers of commerce.

"Let's take some samples first, and then return home! Our spaceship doesn't have suitable mining machinery, the number of cargo holds is not enough, and it lacks self-defense capabilities." When Millet was still immersed in surprise, Warren said A judgment has been made.

They then carefully collected about 17 deep-space crystals with a robotic arm for overall analysis of the vein.Since any change in the gravitational field may cause the vein to fall apart, they must be fully prepared the next time they come.

128 hours after leaving Hongdu, Millet and Warren started their flight back.
