National Star Sea Era

Chapter 177 The asteroid belt with a diameter of 21 light years

 All the way to the innermost side of the secret warehouse, Song Chi's eyes never left the stone platform.

If you read it correctly, the resources stored on this stone platform are exactly the titanium crystals that he is currently in urgent need of.

After strengthening the [Silver III generation ultra-wave magic energy detection radar] components, he only had less than 120 titanium crystals left in his hand. Although he could buy 50 more in the market transaction a day later, this was still far away. not enough.

Not to mention anything else, just the enhancement of [Pure Sun Sword Light Cannon] and [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] requires more than thirty pieces each time. This titanium crystal cannot support several enhancements.

Think about it carefully, how long has it been since these two components were strengthened to level 30? It seems to have been almost half a year.

 For such a long time, the two have not been strengthened again.

 Is it because he doesn’t want to continue to strengthen?

Of course not, it’s because the titanium crystal and third-level floating land in hand are not enough.

If these are really titanium crystals, then this is completely equivalent to giving timely help.

 Picked up a piece of crystal from the stone platform and looked at it carefully.

Hearing his inquiry, Tuoguhong immediately replied, but the result was that Song Chi sighed.

After careful identification, he determined that the resources on this stone platform were titanium crystals, which are strategic resources of human civilization.

 …

As for the core of the floating continent, it is the key to absorbing the energy of the external starry sky and deriving the origin of the floating continent through self-circulation. It is also the most valuable thing in the origin of the floating continent. However, this kind of thing is not something he can make plans for at the moment.

For hundreds of years, the weapon blacksmiths of the Tuogu tribe have been trying to explore the role of this titanium crystal, and they have withdrawn a lot of it sporadically, so in the end only this is left.

At the moment, what the Sky is detecting is the mineral resources on the Blue Blood Floating Continent. Since titanium crystal veins have appeared before, Song Chi still has a lot of expectations.

As time went by, traces of the Sky were left in all areas of the Blue Blood Floating Continent, and Song Chi was in no hurry to leave the floating continent.

 According to what he said, this titanium crystal was also left by the ancestors of the Tuogu tribe.

Over the Tuogu tribe, the Cangqiong roared out and quickly disappeared into the sky.

  Only a little over 500 pieces, less than 520 pieces.

However, after counting, I found that there were not many titanium crystals on the stone platform.

As for biological resources, no other high-potential organisms worthy of attention except Tuoguhong have been found in Songchi.

 A few seconds later, Song Chi turned to Tuo Guhong with a happy face and asked:

“Where did you get this ore? Do you still have it?”

With a gentle wave of his hand, the tool man Zhao Lei appeared out of thin air. Then under Song Chi's order, he activated his magic power to activate the storage bag on his waist. In just a few minutes, all the resources in the entire secret vault were collected into the storage bag. In the bag, Tuo Guhong beside him was surprised for a while.

It seems that a vein of titanium crystal was accidentally discovered hundreds of years ago. After realizing that this resource was quite good, even if they did not know its specific function, they still allowed the senior officials of the Natuogu tribe to collect it in the secret treasury and have been accumulating it. Remain to this day.

 For example, various possible minerals, rare biological resources, and the floating continental core deep underground are all of great value.

It’s just that the titanium crystal vein discovered originally was just a residual ore, the same as the one discovered in the small fragment belt of the White Tower, but it produced even fewer titanium crystals, only a little over 600 pieces.

 Suppressing the depression in his heart, Song Chi turned around and his face regained its joy.

 Including what was left in hand, it was exactly 630 pieces.

 No matter what, the unexpected harvest of more than 500 titanium crystals is definitely a big surprise, and I hope you won’t be disappointed.

After all, it is a level 2 floating land. Even if all the blue-bloods on it are wiped out, its remaining value is not small.

Except for the fusion body of the floating continent's original core that has not yet fully evolved, all the original cores in their complete form are completely integrated with a floating continent.

 It is extremely difficult to separate it from the floating land itself. It requires the action of a high-level creature that far exceeds the level of the floating land itself.

The original core of a Level 2 floating land like this requires at least a Level 4 Xinhuo Captain to peel it off and take it away with special means.

The main control room of the Cangqiong handed over the task of checking the energy fluctuation message prompts found along the way to the semi-automatic shipboard intelligence. Song Chi controlled the battleship himself, while focusing on a number of shipboard components. .

Having just purchased more than 500 titanium crystals, 1,400 strands of second-order floating land origin, and 100 strands of third-order floating land origin, it is natural that the Cangqiong must undergo a new round of strengthening.

This time he did not ignore the orange and red parts on the battleship. His eyes wandered among the four for a moment, and finally landed on the [Pure Sun Sword Light Cannon] parts.

 【Slavery Medal】Needless to say, as long as it cannot be strengthened to the fourth level at once, there is no need to consider it for the time being. After all, the benefits are not big.

The [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] is not considered for the time being because the soul-type attacks against the soul clan cannot be effective.

As for the [Void Shadow Killing Tribe Terracotta Tree], I can only say that it is enough for the time being.

As for the [Pure Sun Sword Cannon], this main cannon is currently at level 30. Needless to say, the damage when facing ordinary third-level creatures can be solved with two cannons. However, the previous attack had a quasi-level ④ level floating land original rule. When blessing the third-level Chimera, it obviously lacked some firepower.

Song Chi can actually understand that although it is an orange-quality main gun, it has only been strengthened to level 30 after all, which is enough to enter the third-level threshold. And the third-level chimera has the blessing of the quasi-level 4 floating land origin rules, and each head has it. It is even more powerful than the peak of the third level.

  Comparing the two aspects, the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon is already pretty good with such firepower performance.

It's understandable, but it doesn't mean that Song Chi can accept it. Judging from the current advancement of the family's front, it should be less than a year before the Southern, Central and Northern Territories will all be controlled by the family, and by then, floating The two elders of the first lineage clan outside Lu are almost here in person.

 So, there is not much time left for him.

If you want to get as many resources as possible in the Soul Floating Continent, you cannot wait until the family front is advanced before taking action. You must enter the territory controlled by the Soul Clan in advance to conduct detection and search.

 In this way, it is impossible to completely avoid conflicts with the high-level soul clan, and this is why he must further increase the firepower of the Sky.

The stronger the firepower of the Sky, the greater the chance of winning when encountering high-level soul tribes in the future, and the safer it will be.

　　【Are you sure to consume 20 rays of third-order floating land source + 350 Yanyang ore + 32 titanium crystals to upgrade the Pure Sun Sword Light Cannon from lv30 to lv31? 】

"Sure!"

 After seven consecutive times, [Pure Sun Sword Light Cannon] was strengthened to lv37.

It's not that Song Chi doesn't want to continue to strengthen, but that the third-order floating land source is not enough. In order to upgrade this orange main gun from lv30 to lv37, a total of 287 rays of the third-order floating land source and 266 titanium crystals were spent. Currently, he only has the last 67 rays of the third-order floating land source left in his hand.

Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon lv37

 Quality: Orange

Characteristics: Mixed Cave Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light

 Characteristic 2: Main gun power increased by 122%

 Consumption: 3700/time (Psionic points)

  Attack: 1798200

 Charge: 4s; buffer 5s

 Requirements for upgrade: 69 strands of floating land origin (third level), 49,000 nether energy points, 700 tons of Yanyang ore, and 46 titanium crystals

But one thing to say, the attribute of [Pure Sun Sword Cannon] at lv37 is still very powerful.

Although the resources consumed are exaggerated, the improvement in attributes is also real. Not to mention anything else, the attack alone has skyrocketed from the previous 600,000 to nearly 1.8 million, which is nearly three times.

 …

Ten hours later, after a preliminary exploration of the entire Blue Blood Floating Continent and the mining of several mineral veins of relatively good value, Song Chi took back all the Nuhu mining trucks.

　　Including the time spent cleaning up all the blue-blood tribes, more than 22 hours have passed since his exploration of the alien space, and there is not much time left before his return.

There are still a lot of resources left on this blue-blood floating land that can be mined. If some biological resources take time to cultivate, they can also generate certain profits, but these will take time to take effect slowly. Song Chi naturally has no interest in this. of.

With this time, he might as well go to the asteroid belt over there at the space anchor. What is the concept of an asteroid belt that spreads over 17 light-years in diameter?

If they were all gathered together and turned into a star sea floating land, it would be at least a ④ level star sea floating land. In other words, the potential value of that asteroid belt far exceeds the blue blood floating land under your feet.

Song Chi, who understands this very well, naturally knows the basic issues of trade-offs.

Before leaving the Blue Blood Floating Continent through the secret realm of the market, Song Chi activated the [Space Beacon Launching Device] component and placed a beacon mark on the Blue Blood Floating Continent.

I no longer have much interest in this floating land, but I can report it to my grandfather later. It is a Class 2 life-type floating land. Although it requires parts such as alien star beacon launchers to maintain communication, it is troublesome. Some, but for the tenth direct pulse that has just been established, it is still worth investing manpower in developing it.

This kind of operation is not only done by their lineage, but also by the entire Song family, the entire Chenxing Principality, and even the entire Xinhuo human civilization.

  Remote development takes a little more time and investment, but as long as it can be stabilized, the subsequent benefits are still good.

　　After laying down the mark of the road mark, Song Chi no longer had any nostalgia. When he took back the Cangqiong, his figure suddenly disappeared.

 The asteroid belt with an unknown name, a kilometer-diameter vacuum area inside the asteroid belt, followed a subtle spatial fluctuation, and Songchi appeared out of thin air.

Since there is not much time left, it is of course impossible to exploit the surrounding resources, and that is not what he is here to do this time.

Scanning the [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar], I saw that within the radar's detection range of more than two light-months, a large number of second-order and third-order biological energy fluctuations appeared again, most likely the same as a month ago. Same, another kind of humanoid alien race.

Song Chi frowned. He was not here to clean up these humanoid alien races. Instead, he was going to place one of the two third-level soul races in this asteroid belt and let him command the angry tiger mining truck. Together with the standard civilian interstellar mining ship, we slowly mine the resources in this asteroid.

However, with so many second- and third-level alien races appearing in the surrounding area, this plan is obviously difficult to implement. A single third-level soul race cannot be a match for those humanoid alien races once they meet.

Thinking of this, Song Chi rubbed his forehead and thought about what to do.

 It was only a little over an hour before his return, and it was obviously too late for him to clean up the humanoid aliens around him.

In this case, there is only one way left, and that is to leave here and find an area away from the activities of these humanoid aliens.

Only in this way, the Soul Clan can safely command those angry tiger mining vehicles and standard civilian interstellar mining ships in the next month to start mining this asteroid belt.

Having calculated this, Song Chi stopped thinking about it and quietly waited for the subsequent star map generation of the [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar].

 While waiting, Song Chi also had a vague expectation in his heart.

After being strengthened to lv30, the detection range of the [Silver III Generation Ultrawave Magic Energy Detection Radar] component has reached 1530 light-hours, and the radius of the star map generated by the star map collector characteristics can reach 44 light years.

  In other words, the star map generated by subsequent magic energy detection radar can reach 88 light years in diameter.

A star map of this scope would most likely be able to fully display the scope of this asteroid belt. He was a little curious as to how far this asteroid belt could extend.

Time passed, dozens of minutes passed, and more than 20 minutes before the Cangqiong returned, the star map of the [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] was finally generated.

Looking intently, Song Chi raised his eyebrows.

 As expected, the star map in front of us this time indeed fully displayed this asteroid.

  As a final result, the length of this asteroid belt reached an impressive 21 light years.

This is a very scary number. Even after it is completely aggregated, this number will be greatly compressed, far less than the level of the Dragon's Back Continent, but it cannot be denied that the area of ​​​​this asteroid belt is astonishing.

After a brief moment of wonder, Song Chi turned his attention back to the bioenergy fluctuation message prompts. His first priority right now was to find a suitable mining area.

 With the assistance of semi-automatic shipboard intelligence, many suitable mining locations were quickly found.

This asteroid belt is large enough, and there are quite a few humanoid aliens, but they are not large enough to cover the entire asteroid belt.

Furthermore, Song Chi also discovered that the distribution of these humanoid alien creatures has obvious patterns, and the range in which they move forms an irregular sphere on the star map.

 Obviously, their old nest, or temporary residence, must be near the center of the sphere.

 Memorying this point secretly, I decided to investigate in detail later.

Song Chi found a suitable mining site, and then activated the [Purple River Jump Device]. Twenty minutes later, the Sky jumped to a hollow area five light years away.

 After successfully arriving, the ship's door of the Sky opened quickly, and ten angry tiger mining vehicles and two standard civilian interstellar mining ships drove out one after another. In addition, a third-level soul clan and the third-level black water snake were also added.

The task given to this third-level soul clan is also very simple. It only needs to safely command ten angry tiger mining vehicles and two mining ships to mine surrounding resource points.

ˆ Mining vehicles and mining ships both have semi-automatic intelligence, which only needs to coordinate the entire mining operation. As for specific mining operations, both mining vehicles and mining ships can be carried out automatically.

Before returning, Song Chi also handed over the [Market Walking Order] to this third-level soul clan. In this way, he can use this token to enter the markets of the heavens at any time, and the various minerals mined can be Put it into his hands in real time.

As for whether this [Market Walking Order] will be used when the subsequent market opens, Song Chi, who can take back this token at any time, is not worried about this at all.

If there really is a foreign creature that wants to exchange for the [Market Walking Order], he can take back the token from the soul tribe with just a thought.

Finally, Song Chi transferred a copy of the star map generated by the magic energy detection radar to the civilian mining ship, so that the third-order soul clan can have a clearer understanding of the distribution of various resource points around it and improve subsequent mining efficiency.
