Fu Yan tapped on the payment option and started to add details for it. While adding the details, he looked towards Xic and asked.
"Tell me the exact coordinates of the planet you own. Also, tell me the planet's core energy signature so that I can verify that this planet belongs to you."
In the high-level galaxies when someone wants to verify whether a planet belongs to the one who claims to be its owner, they ask for the planet's energy signature. It's a string of numbers that ranges from 10^7 to 10^19. The owner adds this signature in the detection device which encrypts it and then checks if it matches the signature. This way only the owner knows the signature.
In the earth's sense, it can be called the password or key to one's house.
Of course, it can be stolen and, if someone else has this key, they can sell your planet without you knowing about it and when a planet changes owner, the new person can change the password with the help of the Planetary Managing Authority, which consists of high-level planets. These planets mostly fall in category S or S+ and sometimes even the legendary SS level.
Well, this concept only exists in high level developed galaxies. That's why there are a group of people who specially dedicate themselves to finding new galaxies and planets, then sell them to high-level bidders. They are more like planet hunters.
According to Interplanetary Law, each planet has to register itself to the Planetary Managing Authority also known as Intergalactic Managers(IM) and once a planet is registered, it will be protected by them and cannot be sold unless the owner agrees. But if it's not a registered planet then whoever registers it first, gets to own that planet.
In the universe, IM can be considered a small organization. These Intergalactic Managers only exist in one corner of the universe and they manage over 1 million galaxies. Though it might seem a lot, it's only a fraction compared to the total number of galaxies in the universe.
Of course, the "Carine" galaxy also came under Intergalactic Managers(IM) and the Library followed their rules. Of course, they also respect the work of the Library.
Many high levels in IM know about the existence of the Library and they respect it as the Library existed even before their organization came into being. They had heard about the Library from their predecessors and they knew about the power that the Library holds.
Of course, in a certain time frame, some members disagreed and tried to meddle with the Library business, and after several warnings from the previous Librarian, they did not back down. This caused the Librarian at that time to fume in anger and he decided to end this once for all. He destroyed a total of 7 galaxies. The people in IM had never heard of any power or anything that could destroy a galaxy. They had the technology to destroy a planet but that's all. After that event, all troublemakers understood that the Library was an existence that should not be messed with.
As for how Fu Yan came to know about this, old Shun had told him all these things 2 days before his departure. He did not tell Fu Yan himself, he just used a memory chip and transferred all this to Fu Yan's brain. After knowing this, Fu Yan was in great shock. But old Shun told him that he should just focus on the present and worry about all other things when the time comes. Fu Yan understood this and stopped paying attention to it.
After he asked Xic for the information, he brought the transparent screen to Xic who entered a long string of characters in the information screen.
After Xic was done adding information, Fu Yan took the screen back. After finishing up all the procedures, he tapped on the "complete" button and a glass chip appeared in front of him.
When he took the glass chip, information appeared inside his head about how he could use it. He spent 2 minutes absorbing the information that he had got and then turned towards the collector.
He brought the chip near the collector's head and a slot appeared to place the chip in. He placed the chip in it and backed off. After the chip was inserted inside the collector's head, the light turned green and it turned towards the portal.
Now the collector would go to the coordinates that were added in the chip and, after verifying the planet signature, he would extract the energy. If the signature does not match, then the collector will return and the borrower who tried to pay the energy will be fined, and he will have to pay 50% extra planetary energy. If he is unable to pay the fine then he will be removed from the Library and banned for 20 years if he entered the key incorrectly or for life if he does not own the planet.
This method of extracting energy from a planet was unique to the Library and no one in the whole universe could copy it.
Fu Yan told Xic to wait in the sitting area. He told Xic that the moment the collector comes back with energy, and Fu Yan finishes up the payment procedure, he could take this book back to his planet with him. If he wants, with an extra 20% energy from a D-level planet, he could enjoy the benefits of a level 1 VIP member and can access the VIP lounge to enhance his reading experience.
Xin shook his head and replied.
"No, I will wait in the general area. This is the only good planet that I have, and if possible I want to keep the remaining energy for future use. Now the main task is to get this book back and develop that engine so that we can mine the Sassbsite more effectively."
Fu Yan smiled and said.
"In the VIP area, knowledge can be understood faster and more effectively. If you were to encounter any problem, with just a small additional fee you can get guidance from a professional." At this moment Fu Yan looked like a salesman who wanted to earn as much as possible from a customer.
Xic smiled embarrassingly and apologized. After that, he quickly walked towards the general reading area, fearing that Fu Yan would make him spend his remaining planetary energy.
Fu Yan shook his head and sat down on the chair. He was going to wait for the collector to return.
To pass his time, he picked up the book that Xic had chosen and started to read it. This mining engine technology was truly marvelous. The more he read, the more he became amazed. This was a piece of technology that could only be accessed through the Galactic Technological Library.
Unlike traditional mining where you have to dig pits and extract the raw ore, then refining it to get the metal you want, this engine would only need you to place it on top of the area you want to mine, and it would drill holes of 6-inch diameters, with a depth of 3000 meters. For an area of the 100-meter radius, you will only need 20 such holes. After digging the holes, you enter the parameters of the metal or mineral you want to extract.
After setting all this up, now you only need to wait as the mining engine would extract the metal you require through these holes, and just after 20 days, you will be able to extract almost all the required metal from the 100-meter area. Of course, the energy required for running this engine was also massive, but considering the speed of extraction and not needing to refine the metal later on, which saved a lot of manpower and brought a huge profit, it was worth it.
This process of extracting the metal involved magnetism and rays which Fu Yan had not learned anything about. So he just glanced over its use and then placed the book back.
After sitting on his chair for a while, Fu Yan got bored and stood up. He walked towards the nearest bookshelf and started to browse through them. Finding nothing that could interest him as he had not learned about anything else than programming right now. Even the game that he had developed, the physics formulas used in it were copied from the book, and as for the characters, he just added the data in the book to Qing's system and let her search the internet. After gathering a lot of 3D models, he gave her a task to create new ones using the same templates. So in a sense, he was only a programmer and has yet to learn other pieces of knowledge.
He decided to go towards the software section which was quite far away from here. After going about 1/5 of the way, he suddenly facepalmed himself and returned to his table.
"I am an idiot. I can get any book I want just by sitting here so why am I tiring myself." He lightly tapped on the table and a screen popped up.
There were a lot of categories on it and he tapped on the software section. After seeing through what books were available to him, he randomly picked one and clicked on it.
After just 1 second, a book came flying towards him from the software section and rested itself on the table.
He picked the book and started to read it. It was not something that he planned to develop next, he just wanted to enhance his knowledge.
He read through the book for 1 and a half hours then he noticed the teleportation portal lighting up, and knew that the collector was returning from his mission.

There is currently an event that I am hosting on discord where readers will write a synopsis and after voting, we will choose a winner. The winner will be credited in the synopsis and get 5 chapters of his choice for free also he can introduce a character that will be used as a reference in the novel(it's up to me where I use it). So join the discord now and participate in this event.
Discord link is in synopsis/novel description (you can copy it from there) also I will add it here too. https://discord.gg/RSSyUS9
