Fang Chen's plan was to dig mines here for a period of time, then collect money to buy a few sets of frigate blueprints, throw them into the palm of the universe, and let the super intelligent brain left behind by the ancient super civilization deduce advanced versions.
For example, if T4 and T5 class frigates are derived, if there is enough time, T6 and above frigates can be derived.
Once you earn enough money to build two or three T5-level or above frigates, you can start doing other things, such as collecting bounties or digging graves, instead of staying here to mine every day.
The fleet soon arrived at the second ring belt in the center of the galaxy, and saw from a distance the invisible asteroid and meteorite belt ahead. Countless meteorites of different sizes were floating quietly in the void.
He randomly found a position and sailed over. The fleet traveled tens of thousands of kilometers along the edge of the ring and cut into it. It passed through the floating meteorites and came to a huge meteorite thousands of kilometers inside the asteroid belt.
This is an irregular meteorite with a maximum diameter of nearly a hundred kilometers. It has a large number of impact holes and a groove on the right side where the fleet stopped.
After scanning the surrounding area with radar and confirming that there was no danger, Fang Chen ordered two mining ships to start mining centered on it through the command channel.
Two small mining ships were divided to the left and right sides of the meteorite. They scanned the surroundings with the mining ship's dedicated mining radar and quickly determined the mineral composition of the surrounding meteorites. Unmanned mining robots were released one after another, spraying ion flames and floating in the air. of the meteorite, two mining laser spray guns sprayed out dazzling laser light and began to cut the meteorite.
The laser gun used by mining robots is not the same type as the military weapon laser gun. This type is better at cutting and can cut hard meteorites and minerals.
Two small mining ships each have 12 unmanned mining robots, plus the 20 purchased, a total of 44 mining robots collect ore centered on the two mining ships.
Not long after, the first batch of ore was collected into the mining ship. Fang Chen quickly got the data. Most of it was limestone and a small amount of gneiss.
Both of these are common ores from which various supermetals can be extracted and are one of the main components of titanium steel alloys.
Limestone costs 35 Stars per ton, and gneiss costs 70 Stars per ton.
The price of various refined super metals is as high as 4900 star yuan per ton.
The price of raw ore is nothing more than the difference in supermetal content.
Some veteran miners don't know how to dig limestone. They feel that the unit price is too low, it takes up space, and they can't make much money in one trip.
But Fang Chen is different. He has such a large space in the palm of his hand that can accommodate a large amount of ore.
Moreover, there are two sets of ore refining equipment in the palm universe, which can be mined and directly refined at the same time.
After watching for a while, he didn't see any wild monsters nearby. Fang Chen opened the universe in his palm and dived in.
At this time, the universe in his palm is only a hundred kilometers in diameter. The universe in his palm is also a universe, and it is hollow inside. However, as the master of the universe in his palm, he can ignore all the harsh environments inside.
At this time, there are two circles in the universe in the palm. The inner circle is the center where the core of the universe in the palm is located, with a diameter of about one kilometer.
The outer circle, that is, the space with a radius of 49 kilometers outside the core, is isolated by an invisible force field in the middle.
The supplies and two sets of equipment purchased previously are currently floating in the outer void.
Fang Chen came to the tool floating in the air, pondered for a moment, and then moved his hands to make gestures in the air, creating layers of invisible barriers in the entire circular space, dividing the entire universe in his palm into N parts.
With a diameter of one hundred kilometers, half of it, a total of fifty kilometers, is divided into five equal sections, each layer is ten kilometers high.
Among them, there is one layer each on the top and bottom, and there are three large layers ten kilometers high in the middle.
Then there are fifty kilometers left, divided into 50 one-kilometer-high levels, with 25 levels each up and down.
According to Fang Chen's plan, the top and bottom floors are used as warehouses, and the three adjacent large floors in the center are planned to be used as shipyards in the future.
Other levels are either industrial areas or hydroponic farms, ore refining areas, weapons production areas, etc.
Of course, these are his current plans. The size of the universe in his palm is not static. If there is an opportunity to repair and expand it in the future, the plan may change.
After the division was completed, Fang Chen moved the two sets of refining equipment to the first floor below the uppermost floor.
The top floor was used as a warehouse. He planned to throw all the ores on this floor and then refine them here. The refined minerals would be piled in the temporary warehouse on the next floor.
After the equipment was ready, Fang Chen immediately came out of the universe in his hand and found that it was already two days later. At this time, two mining ships and 20 unmanned mining robots had collected nearly 4,000 tons of raw ore, 80% of which was limestone, and 20% of it was limestone. % is gneiss.
The quantity was too small, so Fang Chen hesitated for a moment and did not put it away. He planned to wait until he had more money.
But there was nothing else to do now. He was bored and ordered Li Zhengjun to drive a frigate around the nearby meteorite belt to see if he could find some high-value mines.
The place he is looking for now is not a mineral belt. Most of it is common limestone with low value, and neither the collection efficiency nor the value is high.
If you can find a high-value mineral belt or a meteorite with high mineral content, you will be prosperous.
The frigate nimbly passed through two meteorites, and then bypassed a fine rubble belt that was probably formed by the broken debris of the meteorite. It saw a dark warship flying past behind the two meteorites in front.
"Pirate gunboat!"
The battleship radar immediately captured the data of the figure sliding past, and a series of data immediately appeared in front of Fang Chen.
T1 pirate gunboat: a common frigate for pirates.
Basic hull: 1000
Base Armor: 500
Base shield: 500
Base speed: 120,000 km/h
Default tactic: swarming tactic.
Fleet slot size: 5.
Artillery core (default)
Components: energy core, super-light components, thrusters, detectors, combat computers.
Weapon slot: S16.
Universal slots: S5, A1.
After reading the wild monster data and then looking at the data of his frigate, Fang Chen was confident and gave the order to pursue them without hesitation.
The battleship quickly bypassed the meteorite and saw the pirate gunboat less than fifty kilometers ahead, and immediately ordered:
"The battleship moves horizontally to starboard, and the starboard side weapons are ready!"
His orders were quickly transmitted to the entire ship through battleship communications, especially the clone gunners who were in position in front of each gun of the battleship. In addition to the battleship's automatic aiming, they could also manually assist in aiming at the target, ensuring that the battleship's intelligent system could quickly respond if it could not understand the command. correct.
At the same time, if the warship suffers huge damage during the battle and the automatic system is disabled, they can manually control the weapons on the ship to continue fighting.
The most important rank and file position on a battleship is the gunner.
Although this was also his first battle, Captain Li Zhengjun had experienced countless battle simulations and several actual battles when he was in the academy. He quickly issued a series of instructions, and with the assistance of the crew, he knocked the battleship horizontally. Then, one side of the battleship's gun jacket opened, revealing 14 The muzzle of a small laser cannon.
