Chapter 68 A Solid Foundation

The temple is too big to enter the fault space.

Sikkim, which has superconducting properties, also has a big problem in welding.

This leads to a relatively slow progress in the construction of the "temple".

001 said five sentences in a row, explaining the development in two years clearly.

With his eyes narrowed, Li Meng stretched lazily.

Sure enough, the decision to sacrifice himself was right.

Although the price is not small, it is worth it.

Without the "time and space gate" and the time fault space, it would take at least more than ten years to develop to the current scale.

Of course, the Ark and the warships in service will not take that long.

But the semi-automated factory in the fault space will take at least more than ten years to build.

Although only two years have passed outside, more than twenty years can pass in the time fault.

As long as there is a steady supply of minerals, the construction time will be shortened tenfold.

Leaning back and looking at Irene on the right, Li Meng's face was thoughtful.

Now that the foundation is solid and we have established a firm foothold in the S-01888 star system, it is time to explore outside...

"By the way, what is the reserve of Fanjing ore powder?"

001: "About 30,000 tons..."

Not much.

However, Li Meng can understand.

There are too many projects under construction, and it is impossible to transfer too many mining machines to mine Fanjing ore.

Besides, 30,000 tons is already a lot.

Selling it in the trade mall will cost 300 million trade coins.

Even after deducting taxes, there will be 270 million.

Calculating the time, there is still a year and a half before the 100,000 population mission...

It seems that I have to go to the trade mall.

"Click..."

As I was thinking, I heard a "click" and the golden door slowly opened.

Three people walked in one after another.

The leader was Donald in a red robe, followed by Odysseus and Ralph.

"King!"

Beside the pool, the three knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

With a sidelong glance, Li Meng looked at the three people kneeling on the other side of the pool.

"You have worked hard for the past two years. Get up..."

The three stood up.

Ralph and Odysseus were the only ones excited.

Now that the king is back, they can do a lot of things.

"The development in the past three years has been very good, and the empire has a stable rear base. After three and a half years, it is time to explore the outside world."

Hearing this, Ralph's face straightened.

As a captain of the Imperial Navy, he was responsible for the task of exploring the outside world.

As expected, the king looked at him.

"Ralph, the exploration mission is left to you. Explore the star field within a radius of 50 light years. Stay behind with 2 "Firestorm-class" escort ships and 4 "Cobra" destroyers. Send out other ships. Each warship must be equipped with a star talker and navigator. I will guide you."

Ralph crossed his hands, saluted the Sky Eagle, and said, "Yes!"

Li Meng looked at Donald and Odysseus again.

"Donald, Odysseus, you continue to do your own things. I have nothing to say. You are all doing well."

The two of them bowed down and saluted the Sky Eagle, and responded: "Yes!"

Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng said: "Now that I am back, you should also be relieved. Go and work hard. The road ahead is still very long."

The three did not continue to disturb the Regent. They retreated silently and turned to walk out.

Now that the "king" is back, the development of the empire should be on the right track.

Watching the three people leave, until the golden door slowly closed, Li Meng retracted his sight.

"Madam?"

In the corridor outside, Odysseus was surprised to meet his wife who was walking towards him in a hurry.

Seeing Donald, the great sage of science and technology, Colonel Ralph, her husband came towards him.

Irina stepped aside to make way, saluted the two, and winked at her husband.

Odysseus stopped.

Irina asked hurriedly, "Is the king back?"

Odysseus nodded and said, "He's back, he's inside."

Hearing this, Irina's eyes flashed with joy.

After two years, the king finally came back.

"Dear, I'll go in then..."

With a smile, Odysseus said, "Go ahead."

Odysseus knew that the lady had been worried about the regent's situation for the past two years.

She had been asking Donald about the whereabouts of the "king".

After half a year of grinding, Donald, the great sage of science and technology, finally gave in and told his guess.

Since then, the lady has left the palace and assisted him in handling government affairs outside.

Now that the "king" is back, the lady should return to her post.

The two separated in the corridor and walked in two different directions.

"The king..."

As soon as she entered the golden gate, on the lounge chair on the other side of the pool.

Irina saw the familiar figure.

She murmured softly, her mouth wrinkled slightly.

The voice was so small that it was almost inaudible.

She did not lose her composure, but walked gracefully and calmly to the side of "Wang".

Seeing her mother coming, Irene and Ellie looked at each other.

Did they stand up as if they had telepathy? .

"Wang, I'll go get you some fruit..."

"Wang, I'll go get you some coffee..."

With that, Irene and Ellie walked deep into the corridor on the right.

As soon as they left the hall, Irene and Ellie looked at each other.

They stopped almost at the same time and crouched at the corner to peek at the hall outside.

"Erin, you are overthinking..."

"No, the way mother looks at "Wang" is not right, that's the way she looks at father."

"But... "Wang" is not father..."

"Ellie, you idiot, what are you thinking, that's not what I mean."

"Does mother want to think of "Wang" as father?"

"I don't know about this, but, Ellie, what you said seems to be right."

"But...Erin, Wang is Wang, how can he be father?"

"I don't know either, it seems that mother wants to do with "Wang" what father does."

"Erin, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"I don't understand either, adult matters are too complicated..."

"Then do you want to continue watching?"

"Ellie, do you want to watch? ?”

“Let’s not do it. If mother finds out, she will definitely scold us.”

“Wait a little longer. I want to know if mother will do the kind of things that adults do with “Wang”.”

“Eileen, how do you know that?”

“001 told me that it can make “Wang” feel happy. Do you remember when Wang hugged us just now? Ellie, how do you feel?”

“What do you feel? Very nervous, my heart is beating very fast, thump thump, I can almost hear my heartbeat.”

“Does it feel bad?”

“No… not bad…”

“This should be love. If you don’t like it, Ellie should feel very bad, very disgusted, very disgusted.”

“Is that so? But I don’t hate “Wang”, how can I have that kind of disgust?”
