Chapter 302: BB's Mission

The Solar System……

The star burned fiercely, releasing endless light and heat, illuminating the entire world.

Its radiance and warmth, like a benevolent mother, nurtured the life and vitality of this star system, the eight major planets revolving quietly around it.

Among them, the asteroid belt, that silver necklace composed of countless fragments of rock and ice, wound and stretched through space.

For countless ages past, it had been a unique landscape within this cosmic space.

Only……

Now they were being put to use in another aspect.

——Of course not in the way before, captured by powerful gravity and transformed into Mystery Side Orbital Cannons……

——Although this kind of Mystery Side orbital weapon has already hung over the Fairy Kingdom for many years, these past two years it has occasionally been used to strike some stubborn rebels……

But the scale is generally not that large.

After all, if the falling meteors' power is too great, I fear they could easily sink landmasses, destroy islands, and make the entire Fairy Kingdom disappear beneath sea level……

Neither Queen Morgan nor Grand Chancellor Artoria are willing to see that.

Sporadic small-scale strikes are acceptable.

Even if they leave a pit several kilometers wide on the spot, as long as a few more Fairy corpses are thrown in, it can be repaired very quickly.

As for now, the asteroid belt in the Solar System, besides serving as a launch platform for Mystery Side Orbital Cannons……

It has also become a kind of production line——

In the depths of this silver necklace, asteroid mining stations and asteroid bases have been established at some unknown time.

They are concealed by natural cover……

Large numbers of drones, like swarms of bees pouring from a hive, spread out in all directions……

They very efficiently use mining lasers to extract various resources from the surrounding asteroids.

And a considerable portion, like a vast and mighty legion, led by those larger-scale warships, slowly sail out from the asteroid belt.

Carrying large amounts of mined raw materials and refined substances, they cross the asteroid belt and fly toward deeper space farther away.

That direction is the location of a giant planet, its mass one-thousandth of the Sun's, yet two and a half times the total mass of all other planets in the Solar System.

Jupiter.

A gas giant.

With its unique posture, it rotates rapidly in the vast deep space of the universe, its appearance presenting an oblate spheroid.

【26】 The Great Red Spot, the most striking feature on this planet, is the largest storm cyclone on Jupiter.

The Great Red Spot, the most striking feature on this planet, is the largest storm cyclone on Jupiter.

It resembles a jumping heart, roughly twenty-five thousand kilometers long, with a vertical span of twelve thousand kilometers; its sheer scale is breathtaking.

This terrifying storm completes a counterclockwise rotation every six Earth days, often rolling up cloud towers as high as eight kilometers, as if nature's roar and howl at this planet.

Judging by this situation, it is not a planet suitable for developing interstellar colonies; it is truly a forbidden zone for life.

Unless people's life forms undergo a qualitative transformation, changing from material solid-state carbon-based flesh bodies into some kind of elemental bodies adapted to gaseous changes or pure energy bodies……

Then perhaps it could be considered.

Otherwise, before that, the best way out for intelligent beings on Earth is still to choose Mars——

That is the most suitable springboard; with its unique geographical environment, moderate distance, and potential resources, it has become the most suitable candidate planet in the Solar System to develop into a second home.

In fact, similar attempts are already underway there.

And Jupiter is merely selected for other uses; it will be built into a massive manufacturing center, or rather a celestial-body-level composite factory.

After all, to develop resources within the Solar System and utilize every planet as much as possible to exert their value undoubtedly requires enormous engineering capability.

Of course, a certain someone could also handle it alone——

But that is not appropriate.

Ultimately, one must still go out as much as possible, contend for the Star River, grasp the Grand Void; it is impossible for all large-scale engineering to be completed by a single individual possessing extraordinary mighty power.

He is ultimately just a Golden Core Cultivator, not an immortal.

Therefore, building a massive order with a complete system capable of self-operation is the best method.

The departing transport fleet is not the first, nor will it be the last, and Jupiter's frontier outpost has already been basically built.

Located on this gas giant's orbit, a space station hangs quietly like a space fortress, and the spaceport section is being expanded.

Shipyards are connected in parallel, forge workshops are everywhere, and a large number of independent construction platforms are working intensively.

Input production materials, then manufacture drones and…… spaceships.

Or one could say they aren't truly spaceships, more accurately orbital flight vehicles, only suitable for moving within the Solar System and executing missions.

The initial blueprints came from Miss Suzumiya's world——

That belonged to the civilization of Time Travelers.

With nanomachines accompanying human development until they became an Interstellar Civilization, conducting extrasolar colonization, even touching spacetime theory, developing the "TimePlaneDestroyedDevice"……

These data and blueprints were also recorded synchronously.

After deduction, simulation, and modification, these blueprints were naturally put back into production use in a form more conforming to the current universe's physical laws.

Performance isn't very good——compared to the civilization developed by Time Travelers, this counts as early vehicle technology.

But limited to use within the Solar System, it is already completely sufficient.

Quiet Jupiter.

Just like usual, this magnificent giant planet operates according to its own laws, as a part of this star system.

Only, unlike the past, it has also undergone a certain change.

A first space station has already been established in synchronous orbit, and more spaceports and orbital facilities are still being expanded. In the foreseeable future, these facilities will orbit Jupiter like satellites, providing a solid backing for subsequent engineering and development.

The nearby Trojan Asteroid Belt will also soon establish a space industrial base, providing the production facilities and engineering capability essential for the initial phase.

Although these changes are insignificant for the entire magnificent and vast gas giant, tiny as dust.

But they are a brand new beginning.

Just like a seed breaking through the soil.

——————

——————

Mars.

This second smallest planet in the Solar System has likewise undergone earth-shaking changes.

Because it is very similar to Earth, possessing similar day-night cycles and seasonal rotations, as well as similar geology and environment, enveloped by an atmosphere... wait.

This made it a very good choice.

At this current time node——

This former celestial body has already metamorphosed, displaying a "completely different" appearance from the past, and one that was incongruous with the past...

Of course not in a derogatory sense.

The vast red land of yesteryear has already vanished, no longer occupying the vision.

Those shocking impact craters, unfathomable canyons, continuous sand dunes, and scattered gravel terrain have also seemingly vanished without a trace.

Replacing them is a blue planet, full of vibrant vitality.

Oceans resemble a giant chessboard; the pieces upon it are divided, or connected into a whole, connected or separated from one another, becoming independent islands, or vast continents.

Vast continuous grasslands, like green carpets, spread across the land...

Arid deserts are like golden oceans, undulating sand dunes, wind blowing yellow sand, displaying a unique magnificence and desolation...

There are also mountain ranges covered in perennial snow; they tower into the clouds, snow-capped peaks shining with dazzling brilliance under the sunlight...

Basically, it can be said that every detail is filled with the power of life and the rhythm of nature, making it feel incredibly familiar.

Throw any human with the corresponding knowledge onto this planet, and they would mostly think this is some place on Earth, and would not feel this could be Mars...

There is simply no such possibility; it subverts common sense too much.

However, in reality, this indeed happened.

No climate restoration or environmental terraforming technology was used, although technical reserves in this area do exist, but someone chose a faster method.

Defining the familiar Earth environment as "an environment suitable for one's own habitation," then activating the Erosion of Inherent Bounded Field——Crystal Valley.

Directly refreshing the entire Martian environment, replacing physical laws!

The invasion of the alien landscape was completed in the blink of an eye!

"... Speaking purely of the fidelity in replicating the Earth environment, it is simply perfect completion, can be called full marks..."

A strange sound rang out; it was an electronic sound with a particularly heavy mechanical feel, almost indistinguishable in gender.

But only from this prompt-sound-like electronic sound could one hear a trace of dejection and dissatisfaction.

"... But why is BB-chan's carrier this appearance, not good-looking at all, not aesthetic! Zero points! Zero points!"

The one making the sound was a humanoid thing, floating mid-air.

Although saying this is very impolite, indeed only this description fits.

It... possesses a humanoid outline and body; on the surface is a layer of silver metallic texture; behind it unfurls a pair of wings likewise shimmering with silver luster.

And on the surface of the body and wings, faintly there are flashes of energy, like ripples spreading wave after wave, transmitting along those circuit-like crisscrossing patterns to every part of the body.

Aside from only looking at that body's female humanoid form, being able to discern feminine characteristics...

The rest is entirely electronic and mechanical elements.

"What aesthetic, practicality is king."

A calm voice rang out——

"What you should focus on right now is your equipped functions, from calculation power to energy output, as well as the loaded multi-purpose tool and fire interception system..."

"To manage this planet well going forward, you can't rely solely on your past bad taste, and this is the reality world, you also need to use the reason/physics persuasion method..."

This was spoken very reasonably.

But it could not boost morale.

The surface of the feminized electronic mechanical "angel" — the metal shimmering with silver luster — was like liquid metal, suddenly fluctuating rapidly and violently a few times.

Probably a fairly intuitive manifestation of... the internal artificial intelligence's "mood"?

"Before that, at least let me cheer up a bit?" Miss BB protested quite angrily: "How can I work like this!"

"Let me remind you, you are serving a sentence... or would you rather go back and face Gray Wind? She's still holding a grudge wanting a rematch, you know."

That voice laughed lightly.

Miss BB knew the other party was not here, not even on this planet, but communicating with her directly through distance and barriers via some unidentifiable strange ability.

But she still insisted on her bottom line: "Anyway, this form of mine really has no efficiency; if you don't care about my low KPI, I can also use this body to work..."

"..."

"..."

"Fine then."

The opposite side seemed to ponder for a moment, then said indifferently, tone lighthearted.

"Your current carrier actually uses programmable nano-metal, which itself can freely undergo molecular-level reorganization..."

The electronic mechanical "angel's" surface flashed once rapidly, the emitted electronic voice also seeming to carry a trace of anticipation——

"So, can you let me customize my form?"

"No, I will open a Skin Shop for you; you complete tasks to get contribution points, and can redeem some 'skins' inside to perform fantasy transformation for yourself..."

That voice spoke with a straight face.

However, anyone would hear the obvious joking within.

"Wah, how can it be like this..."

BB-chan at this moment personally experienced, with incomparable vividness, the suffering her subordinates' victims had once endured.

However——

Her will was still very strong, probably precisely because she possessed the corresponding experience, she was very familiar with this, or rather, very Proficient.

So she understood that no matter how much she argued at this time, it would be useless.

Language Pale, Situation Stronger.

"Fine, I will complete it as soon as possible, but you Unable to pull any more tricks on the 'skin'……"

This electronic "angel" spoke Weakly, Simultaneously feeling very Indignant——

"Speaking honestly, what Meaning does your Mission have, it is simply a Meaningless Task, isn't it just Copy Earth……"

"Naturally it has Meaning." That voice said faintly: "In the Universe there are some indescribable things, They will Arrival……"

"Putting Them directly into Earth is too risky……"

"We must first Virtual Machine Prep……"
