A Grand Engineering Project

Venus's third floating city—Fangzhang Island City—was officially approved for construction.

The main reason for approving its construction was the completion of Blue Star's Jianmu Sky Ladder. In the future, the quantity of supplies transported from Blue Star to Venus would increase by an order of magnitude.

At the same time, the industrial capacity of Penglai Island City and Yingzhou Island City was growing by the day. The raw materials they produced each day were enough to assemble 6 to 12 square kilometers of floating city.

Venus had a surface area of roughly 460 million square kilometers, only 50 million square kilometers less than Blue Star's 510 million square kilometers.

At the current production speed of floating modules, it would take roughly 76.66 million days to cover Venus's entire surface with them.

However, that figure was calculated solely based on the current production rate. As time passed, Venus's local industrial productivity would continue to grow, and the required time would become shorter and shorter.

Though it looked utterly insane.

In reality, the Federation would not fully cover Venus—at least, not with floating cities. Instead, it planned to use a dome system to cover Venus's surface.

Fangzhang Island would be positioned within Venus's Arctic Circle. While the Fangzhang Island floating city was being built, construction of a dome system beneath it would also begin on a trial basis.

Venus's Arctic Circle differed somewhat from its Antarctic Circle.

According to survey data, Venus's Antarctic Circle was dominated by lowlands, with only a limited area of highlands surrounding it.

Venus's Arctic Circle was the exact opposite. Near the North Pole lay a semi-enclosed basin, surrounded by dense highlands. Venus's major plateaus and highest peak were all located near the North Pole.

The Fangzhang Island floating city would hover above the polar basin, while the
