The asteroid belt has become more lively.
As the most promising development area in the hinterland of the solar system, there are 300 large and small spacecraft gathered here.
Taking a stroll here on the Nana Queen, Cao Chuan saw that due to the rapid expansion of Port 024, the vast urban area was occupied by forces of all sizes.
In addition, the 13-nation Europa Alliance was also meddling in the area.
Obviously, There is a feeling of being out of control.
"It seems like Boston more than 300 years ago.
The indigenous people, the immigrants from the New World, and the European native forces competed with each other and eventually split.
But now is not the past after all.
No matter how unfavorable the control of the Polar Bear Country is, it first did not adopt an oppressive way of development.
The second is to send a large-scale army to suppress it early.
At most, it will make Port 024 a little more chaotic. " Looking at the area with a radius of 30 million kilometers of Ceres, hundreds of asteroids are very quiet, with large and small bases standing there.
The largest ones are the size of towns, with thousands of immigrants, and the smaller ones have a lot of 100, 200 immigrants. , all started with the help of a towing spaceship, transported by one or two small spaceships.
Most of them do not have the name of a country, but say that they belong to a company or even an individual.
Anyway, the asteroid belt has never had an owner.
Even the polar bear country has no choice but to ignore their turf encroachment.
Such a relaxed development environment has allowed the daily throughput of Port 024 to exceed 1,000 tons.
In terms of value alone, it has reached one-tenth of the value of the maritime throughput of Yetu Kingdom Demon City, even though there is still a gap of several zeros in terms of volume. .
It is hard to imagine that such development figures were completed in two years.
Without the help of the towing spacecraft, the time would be extended to 5 years, 10 years, or even longer.
If the radius of 30 million kilometers with Port 024 as the center is the safe zone of the asteroid belt, 30 million kilometers away will be a place of real chaos.
In addition to the terrorists who have long been entrenched here, there are also some ambitious forces who do not want to get too close to the traditional sphere of influence of the Polar Bear Country to settle here.
Asteroid 67, which is 35 million kilometers away from Ceres, is remote and desolate.
However, after the discovery of precious rare earth resources and a large amount of underground solid ice, it has maintained a good momentum of development and even has good independence.
It is the territory of the great Italian businessman Einaudidan.
As a descendant of a famous Venetian merchant in history, Einaudidan is extremely interested in restoring the glory of his ancestors and does not completely regard this place as an overseas territory belonging to Italy.
To develop land, we hope to turn it into our own private property.
Relying on his domestic connections, he got a lot of unemployed people with mafia status, which was easy to manage.
As long as he provided drugs, alcohol, and even women, it was enough for them to work well without making noises all day long.
"I'm really grateful to Dongyinhe Company."
Although Ainaudidan's net worth exceeds 20 billion, he still maintains awe of Dongyinhe Company.
I believe Cao Chuan will be very happy if he finds out.
They have another staunch supporter.
"Without them, I wouldn't have been able to get three spaceships in a short time."
Looking at the spaceship parked in the dilapidated port, he showed the look of a loving father looking at his beloved daughter.
The spaceship is his most precious asset.
Like those captains who travel all over the world, they are nothing without the ship.
There are also factories buried underground.
The wealthy Einaudidan directly built a fusion energy reactor.
Relying on the infinite power provided by helium 3, his immigrants can mine at will all day and all night, so that he can even make the whole It feels like a planet is hollowed out.
He suddenly recalled: "Even these fusion energy reactors are produced by Dongyinhe Company."
Of course, there are more little things, such as experts from the training camp who specialize in guiding immigrants, and unmanned units for police, which are also specialties from Dongyinhe Company, because they are too small, even Einaudidan can't remember them.
Very clear.
Just as he was appreciating this heavenly era, an alarm sounded outside.
"Damn it's those star thieves again" Being far away from the safety of Ceres, as this area re-developed, terrorists who disappeared have reappeared.
It may be more appropriate to call them star thieves, because their goal is more money, and they are eyeing the territory of Ainaudidan. , always thinking about snatching it back.

How could Einaudidan succumb so easily?
With a group of gangsters with experience in "gunfights" at hand, they and the star thieves were fighting back and forth, almost on a par, almost every other week or two weeks. routine.
The smoke of gunpowder gave this remote place a touch of blood.
In the asteroid belt, there are many similar places, such as Asteroid 044, which was recently quietly occupied by the Free Lighthouse Nation.
Probably taking into account the strong domestic productivity, it is estimated that more than 20 small spacecraft will be manufactured by the end of this year.
It would be a waste just to meet the needs of Mars Zero Point Port.
Therefore, after discussion, the lighthouse country, which has a large industry, The council member's proposal was adopted to open more sub-bases.
The sub-base on asteroid 044 mainly comes from investments in Silicon Valley.
Investors include well-known large companies such as TE, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook.
It is only because silicon compounds with extremely high purity and pure crystal structure are found on the asteroid that they can be used.
He is favored for researching the next generation of chips in the computer field.
An advanced vacuum processing factory has been established inside the base, and several production lines continue to operate, continuously producing priceless chips, chipsets, and integrated circuits used in computers and electronic equipment.
Merchants who have switched to planetary trade will visit this place regularly and sell the advanced chips they produce to distant places for sale.
What they don't know is that another asteroid less than 1 million kilometers away is the territory of the old enemy Sinai Thought Alliance.
A few years ago, the Sinai Thought Alliance's oil business was severely hit due to the popularity of fusion energy, but it was also Therefore, let them put aside the baggage of the past and no longer be closely watched by the Free Beacon Country for the time being.
There is no collar around the throat, so after these years of development, the Sinai ideological alliance has shown signs of rising again, eager to regain the great glory of the Ottoman Empire through planetary development.
The asteroid they occupy is rich in various conventional metals and rare metals, which is a good choice for the Sinai Thought Alliance with a single resource distribution.
Unfortunately, when they discovered that there was a branch base of Lighthouse Country nearby, they immediately launched a mad dog-like harassment campaign against Lighthouse Country.
Rely on technicians to develop a number of missiles that can travel to areas 1 million kilometers away in a month or two.
Even if half of the missiles explode early in the process, or drift and no longer work, as long as there are 1 or 2 missiles An explosion upon arrival at the destination can bring great pressure to the lighthouse country
