Chapter 228: Life Ark

When Zaro was starting the live broadcast as Leizhou's smiling angel, Fang Zhao was on his way to planet Wai .
Planet Wai's position at the tail end of the development sequence was similar to the planet Baiji of the past . The planet's circumstances were not much different from the old Baiji, as it essentially relied on military funds and donations to get by . However, their condition was slightly better than Baiji's had been, as it was a little warmer there .
This warmth did not mean the planet's climate but referred to the life forms on this planet .
Perhaps just looking at planet Wai's plants and animals, there wasn't really anything unusual, but when compared to those on planet Baiji, these life-forms were really much warmer .
If creatures from planet Baiji were rated on a scale from 1 to 10 according to how dangerous they were, here on Wai one would rarely see anything that exceeded a 5 .
Because this planet was not as dangerous and the soil quality was pretty decent, every year, more research personnel came to planet Wai than went to planet Baiji . Even Fan Lin had came over to survey . If not for the fact that experiment results at planet Baiji had been more favorable, Fan Lin would have established a laboratory on Wai instead .
Although no large corporations or investing initiatives supported them, many researchers had set up laboratories here . In the past, planet Wai's situation had been much better than planet Baiji's . Furthermore, with its natural conditions and warmth, military service applications to this planet were not under the "extremely arduous" category .
Fang Zhao had seen planet Wai's introduction . Here, they only had grade A− power source ore . Just a grade lower yet the difference was so vast . When the people at the Wai base saw the resources that planet Baiji had, it was little wonder they felt anxious . Even if the latest models of detection equipment weren't able to detect grade A power ore, they would still have put aside their pride and approached Shanta to ask to borrow Fang Zhao for a while just so that they could confirm whatever expectations they had in their hearts .
The person sending Fang Zhao over to planet Wai was none other than Edmund, the colonel who used to be in charge of the mining area . Now he had probably become a major general . Since the establishment of the Baiji military district, Shanta's trusted aides had been on the uprise alongside the developments; they had all been promoted .
Originally, Edmund had starting writing his application to transfer to civilian work, but now, he would not leave no matter what . Only an idiot would choose to leave planet Baiji when they were reaping in rewards .
Edmund was very grateful to Fang Zhao for discovering the grade A power ore . Many people said that even if there hadn't been a Fang Zhao, Baiji ore would still have been discovered eventually by miners, but Fang Zhao's discovery had been too timely . Other people might have had the patience to wait, but Edmund was different . If the discovery had been 10 days later, perhaps he might have already submitted his transfer application . Once it had been submitted, there would have been no retracting it . When he recalled this, Edmund still shuddered at the thought .
Shanta had appointed Edmund to take charge of this transit . It was rare for Edmund to be in this sort of amiable manner, and he had not grumbled about this assignment . He had even given Fang Zhao the best room .
When people on the transport ship saw the always stern Edmund flash a warm smile at Fang Zhao, goose bumps appeared on their skin . People who were oblivious might even mistakenly think Fang Zhao was an illegitimate child of Edmund's .
Before arriving at planet Wai, Edmund told Fang Zhao about the situation there . Other than classified information, Edmund spoke a lot so Fang Zhao would have a rough idea of the situation there .
Also, planet Wai was where one of the other stars of Project Starlight was based—Channel S4's Woo Tianhao .
The transport ship was not suitable to enter the Wai base and so stayed in space . Smaller transport crafts flew out from inside the transport ship . Fang Zhao was within one of these smaller transport crafts .
Wai base's commanding officer, Lieutenant General Huo Yi, was already waiting in the parking space . As the commanding officer of a military base, Huo Yi was not required to personally receive them, but there was special significance this time . To show his sincerity, Huo Yi had decided to personally meet Fang Zhao when he had received news of Fang Zhao's arrival .
When he saw Fang Zhao disembarking from the transport craft, Huo Yi's smile widened and he strode forward .
"Welcome to planet Wai!"
Edmund walked to the front of all the people disembarking from the craft . Whether it was intentional or accidental, he blocked Fang Zhao from Huo Yi's line of sight . When Edmund arrived in front of Huo Yi, he saluted . "Baiji military district's Edmund in charge of transporting Baiji ore . All 10 tons have been safely delivered!"
Edmund's voice was loud and clear, and he placed an added emphasis on the words "military district" and "Baiji ore . "
The looks on the faces of those from Wai base did not seem so good . Although they tried their best to hide it, Fang Zhao could feel that the surrounding atmosphere was not that great .
The Wai base commanding officer, Huo Yi, had an unassuming smile on his face, but deep down, Edmund's words were making him boil with rage . I know that you have established a military district and have mined grade A ore and you are now showing off, but just hearing from your tone, I would have thought you had delivered a kiloton of ore . In the end, there are only 10 tons . How petty!
"Major General Edmund, still as imposing as ever . Cough . " After he said this, Huo Yi's gaze went past Edmund and glanced at Fang Zhao behind him . "You must be Fang Zhao? How does your first time on planet Wai feel? Isn't there a sort of especially placid and refreshing feeling?"
Fang Zhao agreed with what Huo Yi had just said . Indeed, since he had left the transport craft, Fang Zhao had not felt the need to keep up his guard at every moment . Although it could not be considered entirely safe, in comparison to Baiji, the place was rather peaceful . It was not just limited to Wai base, on the whole, it seemed especially peaceful .
Without waiting for a reply from Fang Zhao, Huo Yi went on . "Here it isn't as dangerous as planet Baiji . It is really suitable for living . Perhaps you might build a large manor or chateau?"
Manors and chateaus were a fantasy of many youngsters . Huo Yi had decided to use this angle to entice Fang Zhao .
When Edmund heard these words, his complexion darkened . Your father is still here! And you are so impatient to try and poach from us?
