And the contribution rate was only 7%? Why did he feel like he had missed out on billions of dollars? Luke complained inwardly, but he was actually very satisfied.
He had only spent more than 200,000 faith points and a hundred thousand credit points to earn back ten billion experience and credit points.
What was there to be dissatisfied about with a 30,000-fold return on investment?
After this "split," Luke began to consider the problem of the ship-building factory.
This thing was very inconvenient to put on Earth.
The testing and landing of the warship would cause a lot of noise. Thus, he set his sights on the barren planet where the alien "Beehive" Wernar had been exiled.
There had originally been some intelligent creatures on that planet, but destroying life was ingrained in the Beehive's genes, and couldn't be controlled at all.
In the end, after the Beehive was exiled, it quickly devoured all the intelligent life on the planet and turned it into a barren planet.
After killing Beehive Wernar, the planet naturally became Luke's.
There were few creatures on this barren planet, but it had an atmosphere, which didn't affect mining. It was very suitable for building a fully mechanized warship factory.
This was the reason why the Everything Merchant paid him in cash and only accepted credit points when he asked him to do things.
Luke was already the "owner" of a planet.
With a large arc reactor as an energy source and mature robot technology, the cost of mining was dozens of times lower than on Earth.
Just mining and processing the raw materials into basic raw materials was enough for him to crash the mineral market on Earth.
Thus, he basically didn't need to buy the raw materials he needed to build a warship from Earth, and could be self-sufficient.
And all of this was because he had found the "Black Stone Gate" in Malick's collection.
This Black Stone Gate itself was a huge black stone.
Once it was hit by a shock wave of a special frequency, it would soften into a liquid state.
Through the portal made of liquid black stone, one could reach the barren planet.
Also, Malick realized that the irregular black pillar that was more than two meters tall and about one meter in diameter didn't necessarily have to be used to open the Black Stone Gate.
He only needed to cut out three small cuboid black stones that were thirty centimeters tall from the huge black stone to form a Black Stone Gate that was five meters in diameter.
He then put the small black cuboid in a special alloy "plate" and activated it with a shock wave, and a portable Black Stone Gate would be completed.
And that enormous black stone pillar could be broken down into at least a few dozen of these 'portable' black stone doors.
However, Luke only prepared two sets of "portable" Black Stone Gates, and kept the rest of the black boulders in his inventory.
The desert planet was just a mining and manufacturing base. Basically, only his doppelganger would go there, so there was no need to inform the entire team.
It was enough to treat it as an equipment logistics base and an escape route in case of an emergency.
In any case, the transfer of important resources within the team was carried out through the public space. No one would know the source of the resources inside.
Moreover, compared to the Sabre mech, the Cross Battleship would take much longer to crack and localize.
It wasn't realistic to finish the project in one or two years. Three to five years was just the foundation. Eight to ten years was normal, and ten to twenty years was within Luke's expectations.
As long as the task of building his own battleship was not urgent, his days could return to normal.
Eight hours a day to train and analyze his own abilities, eight hours to research the warship and various equipment, eight hours to sleep, eat, rest, and play.
The Land Fighter Jet had a stealth system that no country on Earth could pry into. Using it to travel and rest, the level one doppelganger could move around the world with ease.
His Level 3 doppelganger continued to oversee the United States.
The half-crippled Level 2 doppelganger first went on a business trip to the desert planet, and spent a few months completing the first phase of the mining and manufacturing base construction.
The rest could be gradually adjusted and expanded after the operation stabilized.
Then, the Level 2 doppelganger piloted a high-end Land Fighter Jet and used the star maps he had obtained from the Chitaris and the dark elves to head into the vast universe.
If he wanted to move around in this universe, he had to go through a hyperdrive window.
On the way to the hyperdrive point, the Land Fighter Jet was much slower than a warship, and it wasn't very good at taking risks. It was safest for the doppelganger to move out.
With his inventory, he could take a new one if the fighter jet was destroyed, and he didn't have to worry about the doppelganger starving to death in space.
That way, it would only take a few months at most for the Level 2 doppelganger to reach the nearest hyperdrive window and head to the nearest chaotic planet on the star map.
Why didn't he go to the orderly planet first? Wouldn't that be a waste of his "chivalrous" talent?
…
Three months later, Luke's Level 2 doppelganger had a pained expression on his face.
The broken Land Fighter Jet floated alone in the void, and he wasn't in the mood to switch to another one right away.
It was f * cking ridiculous!
He had only flown a little less than half the way when he saw two parties chasing each other in space.
One side chased and the other fled, and Luke's fighter plane, however, was caught in the crossfire and blown far away.
What was even more outrageous was that the fighter jet that had been blown away crashed into an abnormal gravitational field, and after passing through it, it arrived in an unfamiliar space that wasn't marked on the star maps of the Chitaris and the dark elves.
Where the hell was he supposed to fly to?
Without a clear destination in space, it was like walking on Earth in ancient times. It was very likely that he wouldn't be able to find anyone after walking for a few years, and he might even die in some dangerous environment halfway.
Turning on the universal distress system, Luke decisively lay down and closed his eyes, devoting his energy to his research.
Let's see if he could meet a kind-hearted person first.
If worse came to worst, he could only summon his Level 2 doppelganger again.
In any case, a Level 2 doppelganger only cost a million credit points, which wasn't much for Luke right now.
But if he met a kind-hearted person who came to save him, there was a high chance that he would directly go to the nearest orderly planet.
The other party might even "gift" him a space battleship or some universal currency, which would be even more perfect.
After drifting in space for three days, Luke was already prepared to give up on this doppelganger.
Due to his slight OCD, he decided to recall his doppelganger after the fourth full day.
Suddenly, a communication request rang out in the damaged fighter jet.
Stumped for a moment, Luke picked it up.
There was no image, just a voice. "Are you asking for help? What's the situation? Can you still hold on? "
The person spoke in the language of the New Star Empire.
Not showing his face? That was interesting. Luke's eyes flashed as he replied, "I'm a citizen of the New Star Empire. I was caught up in a battle between two unknown forces, and my spaceship was damaged. I can't move anymore."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other side, before another question came through the communication channel. "Are you alone?"
Luke's mind raced as he replied, "Yes, I'm alone. If you can send me to the New Star Empire, I'm willing to pay you handsomely. "
There was another silence on the other side, and it wasn't until half a minute later that he replied, "Okay, but please keep quiet and don't move around randomly, lest you interfere with our rescue operation."
Luke said, "No problem. Thank you very much, sir."
