Chapter 567 What I Saw in the Northwest Star Region
When Tilan and Dolores went to White Feather-β to meet friends, Blanche also experienced a lot during the holiday.
Hemu Star Region, Amaranthus Σ-2, Capital District.
In the towering administrative building, Blanche sat in a spacious room and talked to a middle-aged man.
"Miss Blanche, the delegations from the Bubble Rock Star Region and the Copperthorn Star Region arrived this morning. They want to visit you. Do you have time?" The tall and burly man leaned over and asked.
"Them..." Blanche's hand, which was originally holding the coffee, tapped unconsciously at this moment, and her expression was hesitant.
After two years of training and adaptation, she is no longer the innocent and ignorant girl she used to be. The two delegations came to her, definitely not just to say hello.
But thinking of those sincere and stubborn figures during her school years, and the local residents who supported her every day on the Internet, she did not refuse after all.
"Let them come." Blanche bit her lip.
"Yes."
In the afternoon, Blanche first met two high-ranking officials from the star field, and then met a group of representatives from local large companies. These people were very enthusiastic and only hoped that Blanche would help them promote the business. They did not make any additional requests, which made Blanche feel relieved.
"If possible, I wonder if Miss Blanche can come to our star field for a few days." An accompanying secretary asked after the conversation.
"This..." Blanche thought about it, and then nodded in agreement.
"You can go, but I'm afraid you can't stay for too long." She grew up in the Hemu star field, and went to the Central Star Field after graduation. She had never been to other places in the Northwest Star Field, so she was a little curious.
"No problem." Hearing Blanche's agreement, the other party was very happy and excited, and this scene also made the senior officials next to her feel relieved.
Finally, this singer was invited.
A few days later, Blanche arrived at the Bubble Rock Star Field on a dedicated superluminal starship.
Looking down from outer space, the planet is grayish yellow as a whole, with a little dark green, less vegetation on the surface, and almost no ocean.
After landing, Blanche and the local people took a shuttle to fly over the local desert and headed to the prosperous area of the planet.
There are many basalts on the surface of the habitable planet of 'Gas Rock-U'. This type of rock is often formed by volcanic eruptions. It is porous inside and looks like bubbles. That is why the star domain is called 'Bubble Rock'.
"The planet is rich in minerals, especially several special extraordinary gems, such as olivine and extraordinary variants of biotite. Basalt can also be turned into extremely strong cast stone after special processing. It was once used to make armor for the Federation's super-heavy starships." The young secretary on the side introduced Blanche.
In the first three days, Blanche visited several scenic spots on the planet. The peculiar and magnificent geographical structure opened Blanche's eyes. In the next two days, Blanche was taken to visit the largest mineral refinery and material processing enterprises on the planet.
When facing the 300-meter-high giant mining machinery, Blanche was amazed, and then saw the mineral refineries with white steam rising all over the red soil plateau.
"This mineral industrial zone has about 1.7 million workers and 12 million permanent residents. It is the largest industrial zone on the planet." Standing on the airship, the staff beside Blanche introduced it.
"After the minerals are refined, 40% are shipped to the surrounding star regions, and the rest are transported to other star regions of the Federation via the central Hongze star region."
"What is the living standard there?" Blanche saw that many workers were wearing heavy protective clothing, with a lot of dust and sulfur-like residues on the surface.
"The residents in the industrial zone are okay, but other places are not so good. In fact, this industrial zone is the most developed and prosperous place on this planet." The official next to him said with a little bitterness.
"This..." Blanche didn't know how to respond, so she could only keep silent.
In the following week, Blanche also traveled to the Copperthorn Star Region. The situation in this star region is similar to that of the Bubble Rock. As a whole, it is very dependent on the mineral industry and the material chemical industry. Although it seems to be in full swing, in fact, the profit is very low. Most of them are backward industries eliminated by the Central Star Region
. After that, Blanche also asked in confusion why some new industries with better commercial added value are not developed. "The high-tech industry is not that simple. The current pace of technological innovation is not fast, which means that the first-mover companies have huge patent barriers. If latecomers want to catch up, they must spend a lot of resources to bypass them in a thankless way. But with our current economic situation and strength, we are really not allowed to do this. The other party explained the reason.
No wonder the northwestern star regions have been calling on the Central Parliament to make adjustments and transfer patents, Blanche thought.
"I understand. "Let's make this our goal in the future," Blanche thought to herself.
During the rest of the summer vacation, Blanche went to several northwestern star fields to travel and experience the local environment and conditions.
The more she traveled, the more she felt the insurmountable gap between these star fields and the central star field. One was a clean and tidy world, prosperous and decent, while the other was a world full of industrial dust, dirty, boring and poor.
Such a huge gap shattered her original expectations and ideas. Even if she was a singer, she might not be able to reverse this huge gap.
'We can only take it one step at a time.' When school was about to start, Blanche waved goodbye to those who saw her off and boarded the starship back to the central star field.
...
On the other side, Tilan and Dolores met Seraphiel and others who had not been seen for a long time at 'White Feather-β'. This genius with the gift of angels is still a shining existence among his peers and is very famous locally.
"Heshia is still so tall. "With Seraphiel, there is another good friend of Tilan, that is 'Decrabi' who used to work with her in Glass Dream. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call her by her real name Bettina.
Today, Bettina is still only about 155 cm tall, looking quite petite and cute. According to Seraphiel, after receiving the blessing of the angel, Bettina's figure is probably solidified, which means that she will not grow any longer.
"It would have been better if I had accepted the blessing of the angel sister two years later." Bettina regretted it a little. She was wearing a black and white school-style coat dress today, and her two ponytails were swaying slightly in the air.
Then Tilan, Dolores, Seraphiel, and Bettina traveled together in 'White Feather-β'. During the trip, they also met Valk, a civilian genius born in the Four-Leaf Crystal. Although he is not the top among the geniuses now, he also has a bright future. Compared with a few years ago, he is now more mature and stable.
Time passed unknowingly, and the vacation was slowly coming to an end, and it was time to return to school.
