I have a wizarding world

Outer space, geosynchronous orbit.

Here, it is pitch black. Without tools, ordinary people cannot discern direction at all.

Or rather, the word 'direction' has little meaning for ordinary people in outer space.

Above the azure planet, a massive artificial celestial body maintains Earth's rotation speed, floating silently in geosynchronous orbit.

Space Fortress.

The largest megastructure project of the Hive Laboratory to date, and its highest technological crystallization.

Viewed from outer space, the entire space fortress consists of two rings, one large and one small. The two rings are connected, like a crown worn on Earth's head.

Inside the rings are pipe-shaped living areas, the widest part of the pipe being seven kilometers, and the narrowest part being six kilometers.

The entire outer ring has a diameter of 160 kilometers and is designed to accommodate more than two million people.

The smaller ring is the core area of the entire space fortress.

The most important intelligent unmanned factories, starship repair shops, various large laboratories, and a spaceport for docking starships are located here. Sixteen massive nuclear reactors are also built in this smaller ring space.

It can be said that this small ring is the most crucial part of the entire space fortress.

From a design perspective, there is no direct connection between the outer and inner rings.

To get from the outer ring to the inner ring, one must take the Explorer. Of course, in the future, the Pasa Islands will have more and more starships.

In fact, on Anru Island, the second 'Meteor' class starship is already under construction.

According to the Hive Laboratory's idea, to save on transportation costs, future starship construction may even be moved to the space fortress.

After all, with controlled nuclear fusion technology and anti-gravity technology, mining in outer space is becoming easier and easier.

In the future, the Pasa Islands' demand for ore may no longer rely on interdimensional transport and imports, but instead switch to outer space mining.

After all, compared to other dimensions and Earth, this boundless universe is the greatest treasure.

Of course, the space fortress has only completed its external construction. The internal space construction of the ring has not yet begun, in other words, it is temporarily uninhabitable.

To get this space fortress fully operational, the artificial ecological cycle system inside the ring space, the biosphere, must be solved at a minimum.

The Hive Biological Laboratory has already provided this solution.

Next, all that remains is to follow the steps one by one to complete it.

Anyway, no one will be living in this ring space for a short time.

This space fortress can be said to have exhausted all of Fang Cheng's accumulation from nearly a year in another dimension, the biggest consumption being demon-repelling metal.

After all, the main material for manufacturing the space fortress—Grade A armor alloy—requires demon-repelling metal.

New Moon City, throughout the continent, either through trade or through its own mining, finally managed to gather enough demon-repelling metal, but this also exhausted all of Fang Cheng's inventory.

In the end, it is still resource constraints.

After all, with controlled nuclear fusion technology, energy is no longer a constraint for Fang Cheng; the only thing that constrains him is resources.

These resources include mineral resources, rare metal resources, and so on.

This once again proves the prospects of space mining.

After all, the resources on Earth are limited, and even the competition for resources in other dimensions is relatively small, it is not infinite.

But only outer space, as long as you have the technology and the means, the resources you can obtain are almost unlimited.

Without the constraints of resources and energy, no one can imagine how much potential the Pasa Islands, which have mastered advanced artificial intelligence, can unleash.

The magnificent space fortress before our eyes is proof of this.

Although the interior of this space fortress is not completely built, the external construction alone is an engineering miracle.

If it were other countries, even the countries with the strongest industrial capabilities, even if they built such a megastructure on the ground, the time it would take would be decades.

And the Hive Laboratory?

According to the chief engineer of the Aerospace Research Center, it took a total of two months and fourteen days.

Admittedly, this time does not include the preliminary preparation work, only the installation and construction time in space.

Even so, this speed is really too fast.

But if someone watched the entire construction process of the space fortress, they would not feel that this time was fast.

To build this space fortress, the intelligent unmanned factories under Fang Cheng's command produced a total of 760,000 C-2 engineering robots.

What is the concept of 760,000 C-2 engineering robots?

In terms of labor, the labor efficiency of one C-2 engineering robot is equivalent to one hundred ordinary people using tools, and this is still on Earth.

In outer space, with the working efficiency of an ordinary person wearing a heavy spacesuit, the C-2 engineering robot is a thousand times better.

The latest novels are first published on 6_9_book_.

Even with such high work efficiency, the entire Pasa Islands almost exhausted everything to build this space fortress.

The intelligent unmanned factories of the entire Pasa Islands, including the intelligent unmanned factories in other dimensions, are serving this space fortress.

If Fang Cheng did not have the entire other dimension as a resource foundation, if the Hive Laboratory did not master controlled nuclear fusion technology.

The miracle of space fortresses, this artificial celestial body, could not be completed at all.

This moment.

Standing in the aerospace command center, Fang Cheng's heart was filled with shock.

This will be the first step for mankind to step out of the Earth, and also the most important step.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Commander-in-chief!"

At this moment, the chief engineer of the space center changed his address to Fang Cheng and said softly, "It is possible to activate the nuclear reactor."

Fang Cheng slowly retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, turned his head and said, "Begin."

"Yes, Commander-in-chief!" He nodded and ordered, "Prepare to activate the reactor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Meng's voice rang throughout the command center.

"Nuclear reactor activation countdown."

Above the entire holographic projection, a red countdown was presented to everyone.

Fang Cheng glanced at it. The countdown showed "59:59:58", and below it was a line of rapidly jumping numbers representing milliseconds.

One hour countdown.

Compared to this epic project, this countdown is very short.

The reason why the countdown is so short is because all the previous inspections and preparations were very complete.

Now, all Yun Meng has to do is quickly simulate it again to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After all, for this space fortress, the Pasa Islands can be said to have "injured their muscles and bones". If the activation of the nuclear reactor fails, not to mention losing face, the Hive Laboratory's Mars colonization plan will also be delayed.

And this time is not short, after all, the resources accumulated over such a long time have almost been exhausted by this big guy in front of us.
