Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 871 - 870: Operation

Maybe humanity will be wiped out before it even develops.

Jiang Cheng would never allow such a thing to happen, so he ultimately abandoned this idea.

With so many Alpha Crystals, humans will never have to worry about Mecha issues again.

Once a Mecha army is established, any civilization wanting to deal with humans will have to ask if Jiang Cheng's Mechas agree.

But even if Jiang Cheng doesn't plan to sell the Alpha Crystals, he must quickly mine the special materials.

Leaving such valuable things on Neptune is something Jiang Cheng would never be comfortable with.

What if a civilization passing by Neptune discovers the Alpha Crystals and takes them? Jiang Cheng wouldn't even be able to cry.

This kind of thing is not impossible; Jiang Cheng had previously searched for Alpha Crystals.

No one knows if the solar system will become a target for some civilization; it's something no one can say for sure.

Let's start developing a detailed mining plan based on the current data we've collected.

To avoid unnecessary complications, Jiang Cheng instructed Peng on the upcoming tasks.

Neptune is a very dangerous place, and this mining mission is also extremely perilous.

If not properly prepared in advance, Jiang Cheng isn't confident he can smoothly extract the Alpha Crystals.

That blue planet Neptune, beneath its seemingly beautiful exterior, hides countless dangers.

Firstly, Neptune's orbit is too far from the Sun, receiving very little heat from it.

This blue planet's average temperature is over minus two hundred degrees, far exceeding human imagination of cold.

In such extremely cold conditions, mining Alpha Crystals becomes exceptionally challenging.

It's crucial to realize that at such low temperatures, even steel undergoes changes and becomes fragile from the cold.

At temperatures as low as minus seventy or eighty degrees, steel's properties already change, let alone Neptune's temperatures of minus two hundred degrees.

On Neptune, even steel becomes as fragile as glass; if a piece of steel were placed on Neptune, it would take only seconds to shatter like glass.

Therefore, solving the cold issue is the most challenging part of the entire operation plan when landing on Neptune.

This time, Jiang Cheng aims to tackle an extremely tough mission: mining the Alpha Crystals in the deep cold environment.

Apart from the effects of the low temperature, Neptune's other environmental aspects aren't favorable either.

The gravity is barely acceptable; Neptune's gravity is about 1.2 times that of Water Ball, not an unbearable figure for humans.

Under such gravity on Neptune, human movement is slightly inconvenient compared to Water Ball, but it won't cause too much trouble for Jiang Cheng and his team.

Besides gravity, other conditions pose tricky problems for Jiang Cheng.

Neptune's atmosphere unsurprisingly cannot support human breathing; hydrogen dominates most of the gases, with small amounts of hydrogen and methane.

The methane in the atmosphere is why Neptune is blue, and it's how it got its name.

The composition of these gases is entirely unbreathable for humans, posing a significant safety issue for humans.

It's important to note that robots can't replace Jiang Cheng in this mining operation.

Remote control becomes extremely unstable due to Neptune's harsh climate.

Therefore, this mission requires sending astronauts to Neptune to mine the Alpha Crystals.

Ensuring astronaut safety on Neptune is a major challenge.

The extreme cold of minus two hundred degrees on Neptune threatens astronauts, and its atmosphere is unbreathable for humans.

Besides these life-threatening dangers, Neptune also features the strongest winds in the solar system.

Before Jiang Cheng launched probes to Neptune, observers had detected winds exceeding speeds of two thousand kilometers per hour.

Recent probe observations have set new records, monitoring wind speeds exceeding three thousand kilometers per hour a few days ago.

Such terrifying winds are frightening to think of; on Water Ball, such winds would cause unimaginable devastation.

Water Ball, where a wind speed exceeding one hundred kilometers per hour is classified as a typhoon.

The highest wind rating humans have categorized is level eighteen, where speeds exceed two hundred fifty kilometers per hour.

Such strong winds rarely appear on Water Ball, mostly occurring over oceans.

Even winds over level eighteen are considered terrifying by humans, but compared to Neptune's winds, human-rated winds are nothing.

On Neptune, wind speeds easily exceed two thousand kilometers per hour, making Water Ball's level eighteen winds seem gentle in comparison.

Neptune's fierce winds represent a different class, incomparable to Water Ball's winds.

By comparing Neptune's winds to Water Ball's, people understand just how terrifying Neptune's winds are.

If astronauts encounter such winds while mining Alpha Crystals, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

Minus two hundred degrees temperature, unbreathable air, and unimaginable winds.

All these factors complicate the mining of Alpha Crystals, preventing Jiang Cheng from easily obtaining this priceless rare material.

Naturally, Jiang Cheng won't be beaten by these challenges and abandon the mining plan.

No matter how many obstacles lie ahead, Jiang Cheng won't retreat; he is determined to mine the Alpha Crystals this time.

Now that Jiang Cheng is resolute in executing the mining plan, he must meticulously plan everything.

This challenging mining mission, with conditions so difficult, requires comprehensive planning to avoid failure from hasty actions.

Jiang Cheng is keen on preventing any mishaps in this operation, so he begins drafting a detailed action plan.

"This time, I plan to execute the mining operation for Alpha Crystals on Neptune.
