Chapter 1758 The New Home Is Colossally Big!
Hye didn't need to check over the formation, as he didn't know a thing about it. If he went there to check it, he'd prefer to use his flagship and launch tons of attacks, see how this formation would look at the end of this.
Yet this wasn't how he wanted to check over the formation's integrity. The formation ran on a power source, and he wanted to know how much power would get consumed to keep it running in times of peace and war.
He also wanted to see if his research department could repair the axis points correctly. It was essential to keep the formation running all the time, and he needed them to check for all possible faults and hiccups they'd face over time, and how to fix all this.
There were tons of tasks awaiting for everyone to do. In addition to testing the formation, they needed to go around, check the planets and mines, gather up the large worker base, and arrange them to teach others how to mine the crystals.
According to Lily, the overall number of workers was no more than ten million. They were scattered over a large area, working at close to a hundred mines over here. And this wasn't even close to one-third of the total mines in the area, the known crystal mines so far.
This part of space wasn't well discovered by its previous owners, and Hye could tell why. It was hard to do such a task while worrying over the constant threats in the area.
As he decided to help, he moved outside, taking out his entire newly gained grand fleet from the other universe ships.
Then he filled them to the brim with his warriors, ordering them to start moving around, scanning everything here, reporting if they found any interesting intel about known places on the map, or found something that was not recorded yet there.
As he sent all of his ships out, he remained behind and started to work as the mobile brain for such a grand operation.
He knew even with using such a method, it wasn't enough. He estimated for his search teams to take a month, or even a few months before a final map would get done.
The main variable for this was the appearance of any hostile force. He knew the main variable in all this was the appearance of any hostile forces around his new home or not.
"At least we'll get done from this eventually, and then they can start digging the crystals…" he told himself while waiting inside his flagship for the good news.
The first thing Lily and others did was to ask for a gate to be opened between this place and the two Earths Hye had. They selected the main planets they'd work on and needed people to start their work once the planets were done with.
The planets would take a month or so to get done, and by then Hye would move a large number of his people here. As there were already few planets they discovered that could sustain life, Hye decided to move people from his second Earth to here, while shifting much more from Earth to the second Earth.
The second Earth world was unique thanks to the time difference it got, and the special phenomenon of letting newly born kids grow up in one year to be adults.
The only drawback to this was the limitations on space out there, which made him enforce rules to regulate breathing and such. But that was over!
"If I got this place twenty years ago, I'd have filled it entirely to the brim with my people…" Hye muttered while thinking if another scenario played out.
He greatly limited the birth rate in the second Earth world, and now he was fully unleashing it. Yet such a process did indeed require time.
As he needed lots of people with cultivation bases, he decided to leave the latest generations out there to reproduce, while adding more people from Earth to that world.
He moved his people to twenty different planets, left them to inhabit, and built new homes for them there. He moved tens of billions over there, and yet it felt like these worlds would need lots of time to show signs of civilization.
"I just need one year… Or ten…" he muttered when he experienced how huge his newly gained area was. He just moved between the twenty planets, spending almost two weeks doing so. He saved the bookmarks of these places, and yet the astonishing fact of all was that he just travelled across less than one percent of his new area!
He thought his area was huge, but not like this. That made him drop his earlier hopeful assumptions and seriously consider his people to scout the entire area in many months, close to an entire year perhaps.
As this was going to take much longer time than he expected, he started to consider cowering away and locking himself inside. Without properly studying one's home very well, it wasn't wise to go out and adventure outside.
Yet he knew if some sort of threat or a grand opportunity presented itself to him, then he'd not let it slip by his hands. And he wasn't just going to meet one chance soon enough, but three!
Time passed fast, and as his area was huge, it was expected for his people to take a long time just travelling from one point to another. He ordered the research department to study and make some sort of space-based portals, ones that could be hung in space, left to connect between two points fast enough.
He once used portals before in a great way, but all of these were based on ground, and had great distance limitations to not be this useful here. The other problem was their need to be located on the ground, which meant almost ninety-nine percent of his area was off-limits to these portals.
