National Star Sea Era

Chapter 174 Mining of medium-grade soul stone veins and merit exchange

The thousand-mile area at the western foot of the Soul-melting Mountain Range is still in the hands of the Soul Spirit Tribe. Otherwise, the Song clan, which has all kinds of unique ship-borne parts, would have discovered the mineral veins that the Soul Spirit Tribe could not discover and started to exploit them. .

Since that place is still under the control of the Soul Clan, they want to go over and mine it without anyone noticing.

  Battleship concealment and sound shielding are two necessary components.

 But not everywhere is like the cave space. There is a special spatial isolation curtain, and no matter what kind of movement is made, it will not attract the attention of the outside world.

 “Hmm…this part is quite good!”

Song Chi’s eyes lit up and he saw a quite suitable part in the family exchange mall.

  Sound wave silent field lv0

 Quality: blue

 Consumption: 500/time (Psionic points)

Effect: After activation, a silent space will be formed within a radius of 50 meters with the battleship as the center. All movements caused by the specified energy level within this range will not make any sound.

 Duration: 1 hour; Buffer: 48 hours

 Requirements for upgrading: 5 strands of floating land origin (zero level), 500 nether energy points, 5 life cores (zero level)

 Exchange price: 5,000 merit points

“Yes, as the great-great-grandson of a fourth-level clan elder, I occasionally want to prove that I can understand.”

As long as he quietly acts as a nominal delivery person, there is no need for him to actually go out to deliver. After the expedition mission is over, a large amount of soul resources will naturally be allocated.

Without stopping, Song Chi wandered around the mall for another ten minutes, and finally spent another 5,000 merit points to exchange for a [Void Membrane] component that was the same as his grandfather's battleship.

 That's right, he is trying to visualize with the help of a mid-grade soul stone.

As the tribesman responsible for sorting out order information spoke, there was a discussion in the hall below, and then a first-level delivery tribesman spoke.

According to the third-level soul clan, the mid-grade soul stone vein is at least a small vein. If all of it is mined, there can be at least 30,000 mid-grade soul stones.

But before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a person at the back of the lobby.

“But why do I feel that Brother Song Ze had a subsequent reaction because he heard the word Song Chi?”

 “Who knows, maybe I just want to go out for a walk!”

 I thought to myself, but soon started to sigh again.

 In the back of my mind, the projection rubbing of the mythical mecha that I had not visualized for twenty days resurfaced.

Song Ze smiled back and stared flatly at the order organizer named Song Yan above.

 The Soul Floating Land in the Western Region, in a thousand-meter mountain peak, is where the branch of the Family Merit Hall is located.

Hmm, how do you say something?

“Yes, the Songchi in the Tenth Straight Line of the Soul-Rong Mountain Range in the Southern Region.”

As for the lack of merit points in your hand, you can just wait for the person responsible for delivery from the Family Merit Hall to come over and use the soul stones in your hand to offset them.

 Soon his face lit up.

 …

Ronghun Mountains, mountain stronghold.

“Brother Song Ze, why do you suddenly want to go to the Southern Region?”

 Hence, his sudden opening surprised everyone else in the hall.

 I don’t know if the family can produce this thing stably. From what Song Chi has seen so far, it has already appeared for four or five yuan.

 After thinking about it, Song Chi bought this blue part. Although the 50-meter range is small, it is only lv0. It should be able to continue to improve with subsequent strengthening.

 “What’s going on? A whim?”

Although the power of the mind has indeed improved, the progress is not obvious. If you want to use this middle-grade soul stone to break through the first stage of the mortal mind state, you will probably need at least 100,000 to start.

“There is new order information in the Soul Fusion Mountains area of ​​the Southern Territory. It is a second-order tribesman named Song Chi from the Tenth Lineage. [Void Membrane] and [Sound Wave Silence Field]. Who is going to deliver them?"

The interrupted tribesman was about to yell, but when he turned around, the anger on his face instantly dissipated and turned into respect.

“Brother Song Yan, you just mentioned Song Chi from the tenth direct line, right?”

Ten minutes later, after the special soul power in the four middle-grade soul stones in his hand was drained away, Song Chi opened his eyes again, threw aside the four soul stones that had turned into ordinary stones, and felt it carefully. Take care of yourself.

 The current investment is for more profits in the future.

 Song Family Meritorious Service Hall, Resident Soul Fuli Branch Hall.

After speaking, Song Ze nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face. Then he raised his head and said:

Thinking of this, his eyes were firm, and he became more and more determined to obtain the mid-grade soul stone vein mentioned by the third-level soul clan.

“Sure enough, the power of the mind has entered the realm again…”

 That's right, the person who interrupted was obviously Song Ze, one of the two major direct descendants of the family, who was born in the earth line.

 …

“I’ll go, I’ll go to the Southern Territory too…”

 “I’ll go!”

As the great-great-grandson of a fourth-level elder in the family, and coupled with his natural talent for purple fire, basically all the clan members participating in this mission knew very well that this person was clearly here for a formality, otherwise He will not be assigned to the Hall of Merit branch.

 Ten minutes later, discussions continued in the mountain hall.

In a personal cave, Song Chi was sitting cross-legged on a stone round platform. His hands were spread flat on his knees, and he also held several egg-sized crystals in each palm.

Just when he was about to continue to visualize with the help of this soul stone, the fire seed in his mind suddenly trembled. When he reconnected to the temporary fire LAN, he found that the delivery person from the family was about to arrive.

I could only give up the idea of ​​continuing to practice, and when I got outside the stronghold, I summoned the Cangqiong and soared into the sky, all the way to thousands of meters above the sky.

 A few minutes later, a fire battleship, also more than a hundred meters long, rushed over. After getting close to the Sky, the two battleships connected communication.

Looking at the figure in the communication projection in front of him, Song Chi was surprised, but he didn't show it.

He had a very deep impression of Song Ze from the Earth Line. After all, he had cleared the 30th floor of the Immortal Puppet Tower with him.

"Brother Song Ze, I didn't expect you to deliver the goods in person, I'm sorry for bothering you!" He didn't pretend not to know the other person, that would be too deliberate.

 In the communication projection, Song Ze’s face was smiling.

“I didn’t have time to say hello when I was challenged by the Immortal Puppet Tower. Brother Chi, don’t be offended!”

Hearing what the other party said, Song Chi's heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that there was something in the other party's words.

But before he could say anything else, the other party had already opened the hatch of the battleship. A ray of traction light shot out from the hatch, and two parts emitting blue brilliance floated towards the Sky.

Seeing this, Song Chi also repeated the same operation. After successfully putting the two parts into the Sky, he also pulled over more than 3,000 middle-grade soul stones to offset the 10,000 merit points.

After completing these two steps, Song Chi originally thought that Song Ze would continue to say something to test whether he had passed the 30th floor of the Immortal Puppet Tower, but he never thought that the other party had never mentioned this at all.

“Brother Chi, now we have gotten to know each other. If I have time, I will visit you again!”

　　After these endless words, he turned the direction of the ship and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Sky.

 Song Chi:? ? ?

Not understanding what the other party was doing, Song Chi didn't bother to think about it. After returning to the stronghold, he went to the underground battleship summoning room again and started to strengthen the two newly acquired blue parts.

Because of the [Spirit Synthesis Platform], he currently has more than 1,600 strands of the second-order floating land source in his hand. In addition, the strengthening of the two parts does not require the consumption of titanium crystals. Song Chi directly strengthened both of them to the level of lv30.

Needless to say, the [Sonic Silent Field] component, after being strengthened to lv30, the radius of its silent space was increased from 50 meters to 10,000 meters.

 The duration has been changed from 1 hour to 24 hours, and the buffer time has been reduced to 15 hours.

As for the [Void Membrane] component.

 Membrane of the Void lv30

 Quality: blue

Characteristics: Void Stealth

 Consumption: 10,000/time (psionic points)

 Charge: 5 minutes; Buffer: 6 hours

 Duration: 4 hours

 Effect: Hide the whereabouts of warships, priority 450

 Required for upgrading: 8 strands of Floating Land Source (Level 3), 9000 psionic points

  {Void Stealth: The battleship gains special void resistance and ignores the effects of void cracks and void winds to a certain extent. }

Putting away the remaining thousand or so strands of the second-order floating land source, Song Chi left the battleship summoning room.

 In the stronghold cave, Song Chi explained to his grandfather that he would need to leave for a while, which might take about half a month.

Song Mingsong asked several times in succession, and after confirming that Song Chi had sufficient self-protection ability, he nodded and agreed.

 …

At the western foot of the Soul-Rongning Mountains, extending westward along the mountain range, the entire area for hundreds of miles is covered with dense forests. This environment is the most popular hiding place for the Soul Spirit Clan.

Hundreds of meters low in the sky, a warship hidden under a thin film of void was slowly moving forward.

Although it was covered by the [Void Membrane] component that had been strengthened to level 30, Song Chi did not dare to let the Cangqian sail forward very fast, but moved forward with the minimum engine power.

There is no way. Although the [Void Membrane] can hide the hull, when a warship flies by, it is not only the hull itself that can expose itself, but also the air flow fluctuations generated by the shuttle.

As for the roar of the engine, this is also blocked by the [Sonic Silent Field] component.

 “Master, it’s downstairs!”

In the main control room, Song Chi slowly stopped the Cangqiong after hearing the reminder from the third-order soul clan behind him.

Rather than landing in a hurry, the ship-based semi-intelligent first carefully checked the radar map generated by the [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] on one side.

After confirming that there were no second-order biological energy fluctuations within a kilometer below, and that the nearest second-order biological energy fluctuation was tens of thousands of meters away, he controlled the Sky to land.

　　　　　　　——

The hatch of the Cangqiong opened quickly. While the [Sound Wave Silence Field] component was still in use, he quickly released the three Furious Tiger mining trucks that had been loaded onto the warship from the market in advance, and began to survey the designated area. drilling operations.

 In the main control room, Song Chi frowned as he looked at the radar chart on one side.

This [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] does not show any special energy fluctuations underground. Logically speaking, if there are indeed mid-grade soul stone veins, it is impossible for my orange patrol radar to detect them. arrive.

The "magic energy detection" feature is not just talk. More than 99% of mineral resources can detect their special energy fluctuation frequency.

 Because of this doubt, he was a little confused.

In this case, there must be something wrong with one of them, either there is no medium-grade soul stone vein in the ground below, and the third-level soul clan he enslaved made a mistake at the beginning, or it is the [Silver III generation ultra-wave magic energy detection radar] ] Something went wrong.

However, since he could not find out the specific reason in a short time, he could only wait.

 An hour later, three Nuhu mining trucks that had dug hundreds of meters downwards gave the final answer.

Four hundred meters underground, there is indeed a mid-grade soul stone vein with a medium size. It is initially estimated that the number of mid-grade soul stones in the entire vein exceeds 120,000.

 Hearing the news, Song Chi was naturally extremely happy.

 120,000 medium-grade soul stones, which is equivalent to 360,000 points of family merit. Once all are mined, and a few more gold merits are used, he can enslave a third-level thorn flying dragon when he returns home.

Although there is a miniature third-level black water black snake lying on his left shoulder, how can the third-level black water black snake compare with the flying dragon species that is at the peak of the fourth level of the pedigree?

　　The scene where this thing collapsed in front of the Thorn Flying Dragon of the same level is still vivid in my mind.

While quickly ordering the on-board intelligence of the three Furious Tiger mining trucks to start mining on their own, Song Chi turned his attention back to the [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar].

 Judging from this result, it is obvious that there is something wrong with this orange radar, and it did not detect the existence of the medium-grade soul stone vein below.

 After pondering for a while, Song Chi had various thoughts and countless possibilities flashing through his mind to explore the reasons for the failure of the [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar].

I remember that in the asteroid belt before, even some minerals located inside the asteroid could be clearly detected by the magic energy detection radar. Why did it fail to detect this mid-grade soul stone vein today?

 After wondering for a long time, Song Chi finally came up with the most probable possibility.

 “Is it because of the depth?”

In the asteroid belt, the various resources detected before did not seem to be at a depth of 400 meters inside the asteroid, not even 200 or 300 meters, and at most only more than 100 meters. .

Thinking of this, in order to confirm his guess, Song Chi once again took out the remaining second-order floating land source and titanium crystal.

In the end, it took 68 titanium crystals + 215 rays of second-order floating land source + nearly 5,000 Terra stones to strengthen this orange radar component to lv30.

 Silver III generation ultra-wave magic energy detection radar lv30

 Quality: Orange

 …

 Detection range: 1530 light hours

  Accuracy: 800

 Required for upgrading: 15 strands of Floating Continent Origin (Level 3), 60,000 Nether Energy Points, 2,500 Terra Stones, 32 Titanium Crystals

 {Magical energy detection:…}

Star map collector: After entering an unfamiliar star field, after half an hour of collection, the patrol radar will automatically generate a detailed star map with a detection range of 250 times. }

ps: It seems that there is no double monthly ticket this month. If you have a ticket, just vote for us, crab!
