This kind of inescapable "irrationality," if examined further, would touch upon deeper issues.
Ronan could see that at this point in time, there was clearly an enormous gap between the aspirations, propaganda, and actual circumstances of the Tian Yuan Remnants trapped in the Han Guang Star System.
If it could not be remedied, similar problems were bound to recur.
Yet from what Ronan understood, this "gap" and the problems it entailed not only stemmed from the heavy historical burden accumulated over eleven millennia, but also concealed extremely complicated conflicts of interest.
That was highly troublesome.
At any rate, according to the "future history" Ronan knew, the Tian Yuan Remnants had likely never resolved such issues or bridged that "fundamental gap." Otherwise, they would not have become the so-called "Autonomous Territory."
Ronan did not want to dwell too much on such matters. He was not good at this sort of work, and forcing himself to speculate would only muddle his own thoughts.
Technical problems were still more concrete.
He forced his thoughts back to the "main topic"—regardless of what everyone had thought before this war, the current local strategic objective was to complete the "demi-plane transformation" of Pupil Ring Asteroid 28758.
And the main body of this asteroid lay in its Earth Core. There was no future in merely working on the surface. Just like the plan Ronan had designed at the Relay Station, the one people had criticized behind his back, the core "Honeycomb" had to be incorporated into the demi-plane first. That was a technical hurdle that could not be bypassed.
So he quickly cast aside all the supposed cost and strategic considerations and, getting straight to the point, asked Lieutenant Meng Xin, "I only thought as far as the crust... Transforming the Earth Core into a demi-plane is
