Heavy Construction is a campaign mission for the Korolev faction.
Time to build a machine capable of safely (well, relatively) extracting and processing Flaked Letium from the surface. Fortunately Korolev used to operate Mobile Mining Platforms, giant laser drills that would float through the peaceful skies of Fortuna III in search of mineral veins to exploit. The days those things could be safely operated are long gone, but they're just the thing we need now to mine for Letium, with some assistance on the ground.
"Extracting Letium from the surface will require heavy machinery. Heavy, durable, machinery, like the old Veltecite Laser Drills. Get us these materials, Prospector, and we can begin crafting a good frame for our new drilling platform."
"There's not point in reinventing the wheel! Head out to the crashed Laser Drill on Bright Sands, there should still be some tech we can salvage to use for our prototype drill, it would save us a lot of time... and money."
