Chapter 1739 Defence Is Their Top Priority
The one who Hye listened to her opinion the most was Isac, and she with others drew a rough plan of the general design of this area.
Against what Hye thought initially, they agreed to place the planets at the border areas of their new home. This would serve better as defensive bases, and frontline military camps in the future. As Isac said herself, protecting this place was the top priority for them, then inhabiting the entire area came second.
Hye didn't argue or object to that. Any infiltration or damage would have a much worse impact than slightly delaying the plans of inhabiting this area. Not to mention the main bases for Hye right now were his Earth and second Earth planets, not here.
Not to mention he needed time to gather more people and move them here. The population he had back at the two worlds was growing insanely without a doubt, but they weren't enough to even fill five planets out of these going to be built here.
And if they moved half of their military forces, they'd not fill five more planets at most. In the end, they'd not be able to inhabit more than ten worlds out of tens of worlds getting built here.
In addition to that, the second top priority they had to focus on was to mine crystals from rich mines here. The entire area was filled with tons of crystal mines, planets that were formed entirely out of crystals.
To do that, they needed tons of machines, a top layer of security, and tons of workers. Hye's thoughts drifted again towards the same way he managed to rope in and gather such a large number of people in the first place, which was by using his bones and purchasing warriors.
But this might not work this time. He still wasn't sure of how the Toranks would react to his move. He knew by doing this, he'd look as if he was going rogue or something, breaking free from the shackles they placed on him.
This was his right, and this was something he believed firmly. And yet this didn't mean they'd accept this.
"I thought I prepared enough for this, but it seems like I underestimated the universe…" Hye sighed while his friends and generals took the new team over, going to different places they selected previously to plant the planets.
According to them, they would just throw the compressed planet cores in the areas designed, selecting a place that was around a star, and determining the best distance from the star to sustain life there. And then it'd be over.
The planet's cores would suck the energy from the star, and grow in the following weeks to reach the stage of completion. This meant they had roughly three months before these planets would be fully mature, and ready to use.
Hye expected to receive more of these planets during this time. As he got such a grand area of space, he asked the nymph lady to let them make more planets.
According to the general design they roughly thought of, they needed at least one thousand planets to barely call this place an inhabited one, needed fifty thousand planets to say it's filled to the brim.
Hye knew this wasn't just the issue of planet numbers, but the problem of people living over these. "It's just the start, and I'm lucky to start up with all this…" he muttered to himself, preparing himself for a long path of endurance and patience.
Just like how Isac said before, their top priority should be to protect and safeguard this place from any hostile forces. Be it from the universe or from the other universe, this home must be protected, and they had to do it for a long time it seemed.
Yet he knew the moment they started to find a stable source of population, then everything would roll over the right path. Population was the core of everything, the most important chip in building any force.
From them, he'd get a huge pool of talents to support his kingdom, and this isn't just limited to military forces. At the same time, the number of forces he'd be able to train would be tremendous enough to let him properly defend this place without any speck of worry, and start to lay his hands over other places around or even to the outer battlefield and make a name for himself out there.
The two teams started working, and the one to end earlier was the one laying down the planet's cores.
"I believe they'll take a few months to finish doing this…" Hye sighed, didn't realise that having such a grand area was going to be a problem for him, "I shall arrange defensive fleets and scatter them around…"
As they started building everything here, the last thing he wanted to see was for outsiders to come and wreak havoc everywhere. Hye decided to send out all of the fleets around, to secure the working teams, to do patrolling missions, and even sent a few to scout as well.
This time, he didn't let Sara go. This wasn't the time for her to do what she wanted, and if things went bad, he lacked any ability to save her.
At this point, the large number of ships he thought he had turned out to be lacking a lot. To protect such a grand stretch of area, they needed at least ten times the current size of the ships Hye had. And that wasn't the perfect situation even.
"I hope nothing bad will happen," he sighed, before finally turning to the nymph lady and the pirate king who were the only ones remaining behind, "Listen, the previous owner of this place left us lots of workers and slaves. Go and gather them from the entire zone, and let them wait for me here."
"What are you going to do?" the pirate king sniffed trouble coming, excitement in his eyes, "I want to come with you."
