Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 107 Preparing to Move
For 32, the Star Ring is something she has always longed for but never gotten.

Every time she wanted to build a ring, she would encounter various problems, causing the minerals that she had accumulated bit by bit by driving her mining ship to be used for other purposes.

To this day, 32 has not been able to build a ring of her own.

So when 32 heard Chen Xi talking about repairing the Star Ring, he asked eagerly, "Can we repair the Star Ring?"

"Of course I can. Didn't I tell you? I plan to build an orbital star ring on Rostov II to be used as a hydroponic farm and starship factory. Maimai and Dusk are going to the Gria Forge World to discuss this cooperation project." Chen Xi looked at 32 in surprise, wondering if he had forgotten to tell her about building the star ring.

"Do you have any mines?" 32 suddenly became serious and looked concerned.

Whenever the topic of ring repair comes up, 32's enthusiasm will inevitably rise.

Chen Xi nodded and said, "We have the development rights for the entire sub-stellar region. Relying solely on the mineral resources of the Rostov galaxy is definitely not enough, but the resources of the other 12 surrounding galaxies can be used, so there is no need to worry about running out of minerals.

Moreover, the state religion is willing to pay for the construction of the ring belt for us. Although the matter is still under discussion, there should be no setbacks.

'Loyalty' is too important to the Ecclesiarchy, otherwise they wouldn't have sent us three thousand bomb chicks."

Hearing what Chen Xi said, 32 immediately laughed into a ^ω^ face, with an expression that said "I need a ring".

Seeing her expression, Chen Xi added, "By the way, you're now a Mechanical Sage and have a forge. If you want, you can definitely build a star ring on the Rostov III. The production capacity of the intercontinental factory and the minerals on the Rostov I are more than enough."

"But if that happens, it will delay the military expansion plan, right?" 32's mood suddenly became high when she heard Chen Xi say that she could repair the ring herself, but then she hesitated for the sake of the overall situation.

Chen Xi nodded and said affirmatively, "There's no hope before the Great Rift opens. I must put all my resources into military preparations. But once the Thirteenth Prince's Indomitable Expedition begins and we've developed the sub-sector, building a ring won't affect anything."

Although this may sound like empty promises, for 32, being able to repair her ring is already the best news, and she doesn't mind taking a bite of this pie.

Seeing that 32 had no objection, Chen Xi nodded slightly in satisfaction.

32 The obsession with repairing the ring is actually not a big deal. Even if resources are used to repair the ring now, it will not delay Rostov's development too much.

After all, the Star Ring was built, not to be used as a cat cafe, but to be used as a factory and other facilities.

The production capacity of an orbital star ring can play a huge role in the development of the entire sub-star region. Although direct repairs will affect the progress of galaxy development, overall it is still a matter of sharpening the knife before chopping wood.

It’s just that Chen Xi has already asked Mai Mai and Mu Se to go to the Griya Forge World to discuss the matter of repairing the ring, so there is no need to create any more complications on this matter.

Of course, if they fail to reach an agreement, then 32 will have to repair the orbital ring on his own.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi asked 32, "By the way, 32, do you have the blueprints for the Star Ring? Repairing this thing requires sufficient technical support, right? Do you have the technical skills?"

Building a planetary wonder is obviously no small undertaking. Just think about how a certain superpower in the 3K era had to recruit a bunch of minions to pay for the construction of a space station, and you'll understand how much equipment is needed to complete such a task.

Although Chen Xi and his colleagues now have an urgent need to repair the ring, they may not have all the necessary conditions.

It can even be said that they do not have any of the main conditions required for ring repair.

After hearing Chen Xi's question, 32 thought for a moment and said, "The Mechanicus Inquisitor I use is a Sage of Domination, who is better at leading the Skitarii into battle than conducting construction research.

Although she has the ability, it may still be a bit difficult to build a star ring. I should be able to buy the blueprint with points, but my current points are definitely not enough.

As for the Ring Repairer's technical ability, you don't have to worry about that. A Mechanical Sage, even a Command Sage, is capable of doing this job."

32's answer made Chen Xi nod repeatedly, but then he had a new idea. He turned to look at Mai Mai and Mu Se and said to them, "When you talk to Glia, if they don't want to take this order, ask them if they would do a design commission. Let them design a ring for us, and we'll build it ourselves after they come up with the blueprint."

Chen Xi had encountered a similar situation when he was working before. The construction party that was interested in a project was unwilling to take it. At that time, his approach was to ask the other party to produce a drawing, and then he would find someone else to do it.

Generally speaking, the other party does not mind making a small profit. After all, the workload of drawing and construction is completely different. And sometimes you don’t need to contact the other party directly for a public-to-public deal to draw the drawings. It is also possible to directly find a designer to take private work.

The same applies to the Warhammer world. I may not be able to convince Forge World to take this order, but it is still very easy for me to persuade a sage to help me produce a design drawing.

The people present were not recent college graduates, but veterans with several years of experience in society. Of course, they knew a lot about this kind of thing.

So Mai Mai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see what happens."

After saying this, Chen Xi saw everyone off. However, as he saw them off to the door, he suddenly remembered something and stopped everyone else, saying, "By the way, my new house is ready. I plan to move this Saturday. If you have time, you can come over and get acquainted with me. It'll also help you get to know the place so you don't get lost next time."

"Is the new house ready? Then I must go and see it!" When Guterres heard Chen Xi say this, he quickly said that he would definitely go.

The other three people had the same expression. They all said that they had come back to help, and then they said goodbye and left Chen Xi's house.

After seeing everyone off, Chen Xi turned back to the house. Looking at the house where he had lived for almost three years, he felt a little nostalgic.

But when he thought about moving to a 300-square-meter apartment and working hard, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"I just don't know how they analyzed the stuff I submitted..." As soon as this thought flashed through Chen Xi's mind, he quickly dismissed it.

Some things are better not to be discussed in depth.
