Core Worlds of the Milky Way Galaxy, industrial world, Fondor Planet.
Fondor Planet had now recovered from the devastation of the previous war. Countless factories that almost completely covered the planet's surface were operating at full capacity. Towering cooling towers continuously spewed pale white mist, the roar of machinery echoed every moment of every day, and ships carrying raw materials in and finished products out came and went without end. From afar, innumerable vessels even formed streaks of black across the sky.
The Stargate near Fondor Planet had already been completed. Countless supplies were being transported through it, and in order to meet the material demands of Fondor Planet's innumerable factories, the other end of this Stargate connected directly to the Mensua Nebula. Every day, tens of billions of tons of materials were mined and refined from the Matter Unloader in the Mensua Nebula before being sent into countless factories for production.
Fondor Planet was still primarily producing components for Space Shipyards and gigantic industrial Star Rings. According to the development plan, Fondor Planet would construct an unprecedented industrial Star Ring. This ring would be five to ten kilometers wide, three kilometers thick, and twenty-two thousand kilometers in diameter—equivalent to an enormous ringworld.
Once this industrial Star Ring was completed, it would become the largest Star Ring in the entire Milky Way Galaxy apart from the Dyson Ring.
To meet the construction needs of the Star Ring, fifty large interstellar factories were already being built around Fondor Planet to handle those enormous components. Their number would gradually increase to two hundred, and once the Star Ring's basic framework was completed, these factories would merge with the ring itself.
This gigantic
