Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station
Chapter 850 - 249: Reconstruction and Planning_4
Unless it’s spaceships like the Stardust Level or the Torrent Level, which he really likes, then he might prepare a few more.
But both of these types of spaceships belong to Speed Particle Technology, and Chen Ming does not possess much of the shipbuilding technology.
Although he has always been conducting reverse-engineering research after deep optimization, the efficiency has never been high, as there are still many other things constantly draining his energy.
Therefore, the idea of mass-producing Torrent Level and Stardust Level can be directly shelved.
As such, this Heavy Industry Colony needs to be reconstructed.
Chen Ming plans to collaborate with Bai Quan for the reconstruction.
Although he could easily rebuild, considering Chen Ming is still on the path of expansion, there are many heavy industrial industries that can use this colony to compensate, replacing some things he would need to purchase.
But after comprehensively considering the situation of both colonies, Chen Ming believes that it’s better to use this Heavy Industry Colony for profit.
Profiting compared to directly replacing the materials needed during the expansion will definitely incur some loss.
But a slight loss could be exchanged for a sum of circulating capital, which is acceptable.
Moreover, this can strengthen his relationship with Bai Quan.
Chen Ming is not unaware of human interactions; giving away some possessions at hand can be better than maintaining a tight grip on them.
Currently, Chen Ming and Bai Quan already have a collaboration on Energy Crystals, but this partnership is still in the early experimental research phase, not profitable yet.
So Chen Ming straightforwardly decides to collaborate on heavy industry now.
Anyway, as long as the Heavy Industry Colony can operate stably and normally, it’s bound to be profitable.
Then the money goes to whoever deserves it, and Chen Ming wants to profit at least by giving a portion to the raw material suppliers, so why not collaborate with Bai Quan?
Bai Quan undoubtedly has resources.
Moreover, the Fourteenth Legion internally has many technologies exclusive to the legion, and many military items rely on qualified companies partnered with various legions for production.
Though Chen Ming lacks the qualification, he is nominally an internal member of the Fourteenth Legion.
It’s completely feasible for Bai Quan to provide support in terms of raw materials and earn a share of the profits.
Chen Ming also specifically consulted Bai Quan previously.
Although Bai Quan was somewhat hesitant, he finally made up his mind and agreed to Chen Ming’s request, allowing him to get involved in some military production.
Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy does worry some people at times and hinders many things, but Bai Quan didn’t refuse him because of it.
Naturally, Chen Ming will try to consider Bai Quan’s side.
So ultimately, the choice for the reconstruction of the Heavy Industry Colony was determined to be fuel production.
Fuel is a consumable, and Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy impacting consumables brings a better effect for others compared to affecting long-term use items like ship hulls, weapons, armor, etc.
After the Antimatter fuel technology matures completely and can be commercially applied, it’s also convenient to reconstruct into facilities for Antimatter fuel manufacturing.
Add in the fact that Chen Ming happens to have a Synchronous Accelerator Core at hand, which can be used in industrial facilities, as the first actually used Synchronous Accelerator Core, it can add some extra value to his technology.
Incidentally, Chen Ming could reasonably ask Bai Quan for two more Synchronous Accelerator Cores.
Moreover, Bai Quan helped Chen Ming negotiate fuel production raw material suppliers and the profit distribution among parties in the past three days.
Additionally, he connected Chen Ming with a petroleum processing enterprise that collaborates with the Fourteenth Legion, which allows purchasing petroleum byproducts, namely plastic raw materials, for the Light Industry Colony at a relatively low price.
All these were accomplished during the three days before Chen Ming’s arrival.
Now Chen Ming has set everything up, after doing what he needs, all that’s left is to wait.
As long as all the prerequisites are arranged, the remaining tasks will be handled by the Dusk core.
Of course, the reconstruction of heavy industry follows the Light Industry Colony.
And the expansion of the Light Industry Colony is just starting.
This will take some time.
