Zhou Yi once asked about the progress of the Flying Sky Duke, casually mentioning the matter of the Electric Soul, and asked if it would like to give it a try.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener was attentive.

The Flying Sky Duke immediately requested the Electric Soul Shali Huo from Sand Port to conduct tests over there.

Zhou Yi initially thought there would be no follow-up.

The Flying Sky Duke continued, "Shali Huo can handle most functions of a stage-one rocket. Stage-one rockets account for 30% of the entire rocket cost, responsible for reaching an altitude of 50-80 kilometers. Considering its reusability and recyclability, each launch can save 10,000 Light Seeds."

"The Electric Soul can charge via a generator, storing large amounts of material for acceleration. The simplest way is to store solid fuel in its adsorption ring, igniting it for propulsion during launch!"

"I have tested 17 times, all very successful. Shali Huo can fully serve as a reusable stage-one biological rocket. However, the civil aviation department on your end quickly took it back... saying its job is to defend the airspace of the region."

"You don't need defense there; no one would dare touch Sand Port... It would be better to let it work here!"

There was a hint of grievance in the Flying Sky Duke's voice.

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, "Alright. But ensure Shali Huo's safety."

"Rest assured, it is absolutely safe. As long as it has continuous electricity, the Electric Soul will not be in any danger."

"I've designed a small setup, installing your Stone Molt Reactor inside the ring structure of Shali Huo. This ensures it has electricity for decades under any circumstances and won't perish."

This arrangement brightened Zhou Yi's eyes.

Yes.

How could I forget to do it this way?

"Alright. From a technical standpoint, I'll defer to you. If you think it's feasible, let's do it this way. I'll dispatch Shali Huo to you, specifically for rocket launch tasks."

"That's wonderful! I really need Shali Huo! It's a strong and smart guy!"

The Flying Sky Duke finally cheered up.

Meanwhile, during the private chat, the Old King was quite anxious: "How's it going? Is it confirmed? Can it be used?"

"Old King, we can use it. We are just discussing some combination details to see if optimizations can be made."

Zhou Yi reassured somewhat.

He understood as well.

The core of the Star Core Matrix lies within these 20,000 satellites, with 3,000 urgently needing maintenance. Due to neglect, they risk malfunction and disuse at any moment.

The Old King's anxiety was understandable.

The three then opened the group chat mode.

The Old King: "The Star Axis needs maintenance now. Let's launch a satellite to see. I'll pay first."

The Flying Sky Duke: "No problem, after debugging, we can launch within 12 hours; the operational effect will be visible. If there are floating repair robots in orbit, the Rocket Bone Fish can transport them. A satellite costs us 20,000 Light Seeds, with an external price of 30,000 Light Seeds."

The Old King: "That's not an issue. This price is already very low for us. If it really works, I will purchase it in bulk."

Zhou Yi thought to himself that the Flying Sky Duke is quite forthright, directly revealing the cost price to the other party.

But this directly demonstrated the cost advantage of the price.

Everyone agreed immediately.

In fact.

Only 8 hours later, the Flying Sky Duke completed the biological rocket launch.

The entire process was observed and filmed in real-time by the Star Core Matrix.

Zhou Yi watched the scene online throughout.

The rocket ascended, and by the second minute, it detached from the Electric Soul of the stage-one rocket, then shut down the stage-two rocket by the eighth minute, entering the low Earth orbit.

The Bone Fish "Ace" began to hover in the satellite orbit.

The first biological satellite started to operate within the Bone Fish.

After confirming its physiological indicators were normal.

The accompanying Working Electric Cat [Flash Spirit No. 188] started to operate the Bone Fish, moving towards a nearby floating repair robot.

The Bone Fish was slow, but its flight was stable.

After 4 hours of cautious traveling, Ace captured the repair equipment, swallowed it into its belly, and then turned towards the nearest remote sensing satellite in need of repair.

It took 3 hours to reach the destination.

The Bone Fish used its mouth to fix the repair robot, spending 27 minutes to connect it to the hooks of the artificial satellite.

Then the repair robot was activated, extending mechanical arms to start inspection and repair work on the satellite.

"I told you it's feasible!!!"

The most excited was the Flying Sky Duke, "This is an important day in rocket history! Biological rockets have demonstrated they have more applications than traditional Light Seal Rockets! They are not only cheaper but hold unlimited possibilities!!!!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

More smooth than anticipated.

The Flying Sky Duke is truly worthy of years of deep study in the rocket field, with commendable professional skills.

At this time, the Old King said, "If operations are possible in low Earth orbit, then solar synchronization orbit, medium Earth orbit, geosynchronous orbit, highly elliptical orbit, and Lagrangian point orbit should also be feasible?"

"We need to try step by step to confirm that."

The Flying Sky Duke explained: "However, the principle is the same, we just need different stage-two rockets, entering higher orbits requires multiple ignitions, and operations are more complex, but existing data is very healthy. Whether it's the Bone Fish, Electric Cat, or the satellite itself, even if there are some obstacles, a method can be found to overcome them."

"Okay."

The Old King immediately made a decision, "I will have 3317 satellites repaired, all handed over to you, name your price."

The Flying Sky Duke privately messaged Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi told it, "Just follow your normal pricing."

So the Flying Sky Duke calculated, "The satellite count is too large, it requires at least 24 Bone Fish to enter the orbit to work interchangeably, meaning at least 24 rockets need to be launched. Considering the difficulty of different orbits, they should be evenly distributed across the 6 major orbits, configured with 3 on each layer... The total price is calculated as 1,240,000 Light Seeds."

"Additionally, with the collaborative work of Electric Cats and Bone Fish, there is inherent risk and loss. The fee for each equipment transport in orbit is 10,000 Light Seeds, totaling 34,410,000 Light Seeds."

The Old King cheerfully replied, "Alright. I will pay immediately."

The Flying Sky Duke was overjoyed and immediately disconnected, focusing on the launch site and rockets.

The Old King couldn't help but muse, "I didn't expect that in the rocket and space fields, you'd have a breakthrough so quickly."

Zhou Yi laughed, "It's a matter of borrowing flowers to present Buddha. The Flying Sky Duke itself has strong and solid technology, with years of accumulated foundation. Our Electric Cats and Bone Fish give a bit of chemical reaction."

The other party asked, "You could have profited greatly from me, why settle for this amount?"

Zhou Yi said, "I'm in it for long-term business, not to cash in and run. We have many areas to collaborate in the future, with many choices in space development, so this is also my sincerity."

There was a moment of silence over there.

"You truly are a unique young person. Warlord was right."

Warlord?

Zhou Yi pondered.

It seems Warlord is still in contact with the Old King.

They are indeed comrades from the past.

"Have you ever thought why I specifically want to develop Mars?"

"Because Mars is similar to Earth? In terms of rotation or size..."

"Not very similar."

The Old King slowly said, "Mars is a failed Earth."
