Of course, the conversation aboard the space station's command center had no effect whatsoever on the hard-working laborers in the Tianshu system. They still approached their work with enthusiasm and hope, diligently completing the day's tasks.
By now, nearly three hundred thousand laborers, military personnel, and civilians had gathered in the Tianshu system. Half of them had been sent to several "naturally" habitable planets whose atmospheres had been restored, where they had begun the initial stages of cultivation and exploration.
The other half, equipped with all the heavy orbital work machinery currently available, were working around Tianshu 7, a planet that gleamed with a metallic sheen. They were like a swarm of diligent worker bees.
This was the gas giant that had once hatched the Starplanter. But now, with the sun of the Tianshu system revived, three terrestrial planets had become habitable worlds. The same miraculous change had taken place on Planet 7. The blue gas giant, several times larger than Jupiter, was gradually shedding its gravity-bound gases, as if they were melting away beneath sunlight that had restored them to life. What appeared before everyone afterward was a solid planet shimmering with a metallic glow.
This was a sign that the planet's surface contained vast quantities of high-purity exposed metal ore. There might even be substantial deposits of zero-element ore. It was like a gigantic open-pit gold mine that had fallen from the sky. It felt as though failing to mine it would be letting down the universe's generous gift.
The strong magnetic field near the planet was still present, but it had stabilized within controllable limits. It would not affect the system's gravity or shipping, while still providing the objective conditions needed to build a high-energy orbital laboratory.
All in all, every change was heading in a positive
