Chapter 1278
Zhao Hai returned to the Space after sending Barlett and the others off . Laura and the others were currently on their computers . They were looking for appropriate planets to choose . As it turns out, these unwanted planets were put up for sale at fairly low prices . However, no one bought them . Operating such planets would need high investments . And even if great efforts were made, the planets could only produce fruits and plant products . There weren’t many profits to them at all . Unless made for human habitation, there was no point to developing these planets .
In this case, why would anyone buy them? In the eyes of the families, they might as well use the money to make more battleships . The more battleships you have, the more power you can use, and the more benefits you can fight for .
Because of this, Zhao Hai was assured that nobody would complain if he were to take one of these planets for himself . They might even be happy if he were to take them all off of their hands .
When Laura and the others saw that Zhao Hai had arrived, they immediately waved towards him to come over . Zhao Hai walked over in front of a large screen . Displayed on the screen was a star map of the entire Machine Field . Most planets and meteorites were shown with white dots . These white dots were the uninhabitable planets . There were also meteorites and planets that were red, which indicated that people were living in them . And then there were more than 300 meteorites and planets that were green, these were the planets that nobody wanted . [1]
As he scanned the star map, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but get stunned . He said, “The Machine Field has so many unclaimed habitable planets? I didn’t expect that . ”
However, Zhao Hai also noticed that these planets were on the edge of the Machine Field – on the side far from the Cultivation Realm . Looking at this setup, Zhao Hai had a realization . Since these planets were in the outskirts of the Machine Field, and even far from the Cultivation Realm, it was natural that the Machine Field wouldn’t expand towards them . If these planets were close to the Cultivation Realm, then even if their environments weren’t good, people would still fight madly for them . This was because these planets could be used as stopover stations for supplies and commodities going to and from the Cultivation Realm .
Zhao Hai sat on the sofa as he turned his head to Laura and said, “Have you settled on which planet to choose?”
Laura smiled and then she pointed towards the large screen . A red circle appeared on the screen, a planet in the middle of it .
This place was very far from the center of the Machine Field . It was also near to a meteorite belt . And in the vicinity of the planet were six white colored dots . It seems like these were the planet’s moons .
The screen quickly changed its image, allowing Zhao Hai to have a careful look on the planet . From the star map, this planet was called Yalei 2 . It was separated from the Machine Field by the meteorite belt . This meteorite belt wasn’t very dangerous, but it still blocked large-scale ships from passing through it . The planet had six moons, named Ave 1 to 6 . It was clear that this planet wasn’t very popular judging by how simple its name was .
Then on the side of the screen was an introduction to Yalei 2 . This planet can only be defined as a waste planet . The planet’s ratio between land to water was four to six . Land accounts for 4 while the oceans account for 6 .
It must be said that the land of Yalei 2 was very huge . But because it was quite distant from any stars, the temperature of the planet was lower than normal . In the planet’s land, besides moss, there were extremely few plants that grew . Moreover, the planet’s seawater was too salty, completely incapable of nurturing life . Therefore, the planet’s entire ocean was like the Dead Sea . A person could float on its surface without even moving .
The Machine Field appraised Yalei 2 as a planet that’s not suitable for human housing . Only people with strong physique could survive in this place . But even if someone wanted to invest in developing this planet, doing so would be close to impossible because the planet couldn’t be reached with large-sized ships . Therefore, nobody wanted the planet . Its price was also astonishingly low . One could buy the planet for as low as seven million machine coins . In the Machine Field, seven million machine coins amounted to a single small battleship . It can be said that the planet was priced the same as a small ship .
But even though it was dirt cheap, nobody bought it . In their minds, at least a small ship had some uses compared to the waste planet .
However, Zhao Hai understood Laura’s intention upon seeing the planet . Yalei 2 was indeed suitable for him . First of all, Zhao Hai wasn’t worried about the planet’s environment . There were plenty of plants in the Space that could emit heat . Once they’re planted on the planet, it wouldn’t be long before the planet’s temperature rose . And as long as the temperature rises, icebergs frozen for thousands of years would melt, diluting the ocean water . This will reduce the water’s salt content, allowing for animals to live in it .
Although Yalei 2 was far from a star, this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t receive light . Plants could still perform photosynthesis with the amount of light hitting the planet . And the increasing temperature would only benefit plants on the planet . When the time comes, Yalei 2 will be greatly improved .
As for the six planets outside Yalei 2, bases could be constructed there, providing the planet with a net of security . Additionally, the meteorite belt that was close to the planet could become a shield for the planet .
Zhao Hai understood that he would pay a high price in order to transform Yalei 2 . However, he didn’t really intend to use it as a base . Actually, all of this investment was for the Ashley Family .
Even before they met Zhao Hai, the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm were already coveting the Machine Field . If the two worked together, then the Machine Field would be hard-pressed to win . Margaret already asked Zhao Hai to help the Ashley Family when such times arrive . And since Zhao Hai can’t send them to the Space, then he could only send them to Yalei 2 .
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with the planet, he nodded and said, “Good, let’s take this planet . Even if we can’t request for it, we’ll buy it . However, we need to set up a transmission formation on the planet . Although it’s just for cover, it might be useful in the future . ”
Laura nodded . Then Zhao Hai had Meg invite Merine and Green over to discuss how to transform Yalei 2 Planet .
Green and Merine’s current state was very good . They have started to practice cultivation methods and it has brought great results . Although their combat strength didn’t increase by much, it was already good that their lifespan increased . And the longer they live, the more they can cultivate .
At this time, the two were either studying magic formations or doing something with the Hundred Spirit Tree . They also grow a few plants on the side to entertain themselves . They were living quite leisurely .
The two already understood that Zhao Hai was powerful enough that nobody can move him anymore . Therefore, they no longer have any worries .
