While Zaro was broadcasting live under the title of Leizhou's Smiling Angel, Fang Zhao was on his way to planet Wai.
Planet Wai used to be near the back of the development sequence, and its circumstances were similar to planet Baiji. Every year, it relied on military and civilian donations to survive. However, its circumstances were slightly better than planet Baiji's. It was gentler.
This gentler did not refer to the climate but to the life forms on this planet.
Perhaps just looking at the flora and fauna on planet Wai did not seem that special, but compared to planet Baiji, planet Wai was really gentler.
If the threat of planet Baiji's fauna was divided into 10 levels, it was rare to see anything with a danger rating of over 5.
It was precisely because this planet was not as dangerous as planet Baiji and the soil quality was acceptable that more researchers came to planet Wai every year than on planet Baiji. Even Fan Lin had set up a plot of land here. If not for the fact that the results of Baiji's experiments were more gratifying, Fan Lin would not have sent researchers over every year.
Although there was no support from large corporations or investment organizations, many researchers had set up experimental buildings on the planet. In the past, planet Wai's circumstances had been much better than planet Baiji's. Coupled with its mild natural conditions, military service applications had not been considered high-risk.
Fang Zhao had seen planet Wai's introduction. Similarly, there was only grade A- ore. The difference in energy grade was like heaven and earth. Seeing the resources planet Baiji enjoyed now, it was no wonder that the people of the Wai base were anxious. Even if the latest detectors had not been able to detect grade A ore, they had still swallowed their pride and sought out Shanta. They had borrowed Fang Zhao to make a trip over, hoping that the chances were less than 1 in 10 million.
The person who had escorted Fang Zhao to planet Wai was an acquaintance of planet Baiji, Edmund. He was the colonel in charge of the mining area. No, he was now a major general. Ever since planet Baiji's military district had been established, Shanta's trusted aides had all been promoted.
Edmund, who had already started to submit his application for a military transfer, would not leave even if he was beaten to death. Only an idiot would leave planet Baiji when the cake was being split!
Edmund was very grateful that Fang Zhao had been able to discover grade A power ore. Although many people had said that even without Fang Zhao, the miners would have discovered it sooner or later, for Edmund, Fang Zhao's discovery had been too timely. Other people could afford to wait, but Edmund was different. If it had been 10 days later, perhaps he would have already submitted his application for a military transfer. Once it was submitted, there was no way to regret it. Thinking about it now, Edmund still felt a lingering fear.
This time, Shanta had sent him over to be in charge of the transportation. It was rare for Edmund to be so amiable. He did not complain about the mission and gave Fang Zhao the best room.
Every time they saw the usually solemn Edmund smile warmly at Fang Zhao, goosebumps rose all over the people on the warship. Those who did not know might even think that Fang Zhao was Edmund's illegitimate son or something.
Before arriving on planet Wai, Edmund gave Fang Zhao a rundown of the situation on planet Wai. He couldn't divulge any classified information, but he told Fang Zhao a lot of things that weren't classified. At the very least, Fang Zhao had a general understanding of the situation there.
Also, planet Wai was the home of another star of Project Starlight: channel S4's Tianhao.
The transport ship was not suitable for entering the Wai base, so it remained in space. Transport planes flew out from the ship, and Fang Zhao was on one of them.
Wai base's commanding officer, Lieutenant General Huo Yi, was already waiting at the hangar. As the commanding officer of a base, Huo Yi did not need to personally wait here, but this time, the significance of the mission was extraordinary. To express his sincerity, Huo Yi had decided to personally make the trip after receiving the news.
When he saw Fang Zhao alighting from the transport plane, Huo Yi's smile deepened and he took two steps forward.
"Welcome to planet Wai!"
Edmund was at the very front of the group of people alighting from the transport. Whether it was intentional or not, he blocked Fang Zhao behind him, blocking Huo Yi's line of sight. When he reached Huo Yi, he saluted. "Planet Baiji's Great Military District, Edmund. You are in charge of transporting 10 tons of Baiji ore. Arrived safely!"
Edmund's voice was loud and clear. He emphasized the words "Great Military District" and "Baiji ore."
The people on Wai base did not look too good. Even though they tried their best to hide it, Fang Zhao could still sense that the atmosphere was not good.
Wai base's commanding officer, Huo Yi, had an impeccable smile on his face, but deep down, he was fuming. I know you guys have established a great military district, I know you guys have excavated grade A ore, and I know you are showing off. But from what you just said, based on your imposing manner, I thought you were transporting 1,000 tons of ore. In the end, it was only 10 tons. How stingy!
"Major General Edmund, you are really imposing." After saying that, Huo Yi's gaze swept past Edmund and landed on Fang Zhao. "You are Fang Zhao? How does your first time on planet Wai feel? Does it feel especially peaceful and refreshing? "
Fang Zhao agreed with what Huo Yi said. Indeed, from the moment he had stepped out of the transport, Fang Zhao had not felt a constant sense of danger. Even though it could not be considered absolutely safe, it was still within the realm of peace. This peace was not just because he was on Wai base, but because of the overall feeling.
Without waiting for Fang Zhao to reply, Huo Yi said, "This place is not as dangerous as planet Baiji. It is very suitable for living. Build a manor, castle, and the like."
Many young people liked to fantasize about manors and castles. Huo Yi planned to use this to tempt Fang Zhao.
When Edmund heard this, his expression turned ugly. I haven't left yet! Are you so eager to poach me?!
However, Huo Yi was the commanding officer of the base after all. He had the rank of lieutenant general and held real power. This was his territory, so Edmund did not dare cause a ruckus. If it was in the past, even if he was just a colonel, he would have said a few words, but now, Edmund felt that there was no need to argue. He disdained arguing with the impoverished Wai base. He just made a mental note of Huo Yi. He would report to Shanta when he returned.
Huo Yi did not want to argue with Edmund. He got someone to come over and do an inventory of the goods. Ten tons of grade A ore had been donated by planet Baiji to help the poor. Although he felt uncomfortable, there was no reason not to take advantage of this. This was grade A power ore!
After the inventory was done, Huo Yi had no intention of keeping Edmund here.
Edmund also did not want to stay here for long. Right now, planet Baiji was busy, and he had a bunch of things on his hands. After giving Fang Zhao a few reminders, Edmund left with his men.
After Edmund and his men left, the atmosphere eased up.
This time, besides Fang Zhao, there were three other people, a major and two captains from Yanzhou military district. Huo Yi had already investigated them. Although these three belonged to Baiji military district, they were not part of Shanta's faction. Their duty was only to ensure Fang Zhao's personal safety, so Huo Yi did not make things difficult for them.
After arranging a meal, Huo Yi did not bring Fang Zhao to the mining site immediately. Instead, he arranged for someone to bring Fang Zhao for a walk and see more of planet Wai's scenery. Fang Zhao would first relax and adjust his state before heading to the mining site the next day.
Huo Yi was worried that Fang Zhao would be too tired and not be able to perform well. In his heart, he wished he could drag Fang Zhao to the mining site and use his "Diting ear" to listen, but to get more accurate results, he was willing to wait a little longer. He had already waited for so long, so a few more hours did not matter.
Actually, Huo Yi knew that planet Wai probably did not have grade A power ore. Therefore, although he hoped for a good result, he was also prepared to accept a bad one.
When he thought about planet Baiji, Huo Yi felt a little bitter.
Actually, he and Shanta had not been sent to planet Wai or Baiji at the same time, but at that time, Huo Yi's methods had been a notch better, and he had seized the gentler and less dangerous planet Wai.
If it had been in the past, planet Wai would naturally have developed faster than planet Baiji among planets with similar energy supplies, but now it was no longer comparable. Based on the current speed, planet Wai might not even be able to establish a large military district in another 100 years.
How regretful!
As Huo Yi was lamenting about life, Fang Zhao was led to the experimental area at the side of the base.
Wai base headquarters was three to four times larger than the previous Baiji base. There was also a special area beside it that was where the researchers lived. The person who brought Fang Zhao over pointed at the buildings in front of them and told Fang Zhao which were the dormitories for the researchers and which were the experimental buildings. Fang Zhao even saw a large experimental plot.
From this, it could be seen that if planet Baiji had not had grade A power ore, planet Wai would indeed have developed faster than planet Baiji and had a higher investment value.
Fang Zhao looked at the experimental plot not far away and was a little surprised. "Those are... peach trees?"
Forget about the wheat fields and other food crops. The base also needed to produce its own food supply, but what were those in front?
Fang Zhao thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Although he had seen some planted on farms in Muzhou, most of them, which should have been extinct during the Period of Destruction, had appeared here.
The person who brought Fang Zhao over was flabbergasted when he saw Fang Zhao list out the species of the experimental plot, but it was quickly replaced by a kind of pride. "That's right, those are peach trees. Follow me. Although you can't enter, just what you see outside is enough for you to brag about for half a year."
His tone implied that he was bringing Fang Zhao to broaden his horizons.
"Over here are peach trees, over there are apple trees, and over there are..." The person who led Fang Zhao was suddenly stumped.
"Orange trees, orange trees, apricot trees, cherry trees..." As they walked, Fang Zhao called out the names of many fruit trees.
Further ahead, there were even many ornamental plants that had only existed during the Old Era.
"Yes, yes, yes. That's right, these are the ones! These are still in the experimental phase. It seems like it has been a few decades. It is said that they will be officially launched soon. These are not illegal experiments. All the experiments here have been approved. Actually, we have always been applying for a key experimental site, but we have never been successful. "The person who led the way sighed helplessly.
After sighing, he asked Fang Zhao, "How about it? Are you interested in investing here? "Even at this time, he did not forget to solicit investors.
A faint fragrance wafted through the air.
The fragrance of osmanthus.
Fang Zhao felt as if he had returned to the past.
It turned out that, unbeknownst to many, they had been resurrected on a planet other than Earth.
