Chapter 3: Slavery
The Star Empire had long mastered the space jump technology, so even though there was a big red cloud galaxy between the wasteland star and the Lingzang star, it could cross the entire big red cloud galaxy in just two days with the help of space jumping.
On the morning of the third day, a fleet of millions of slaves captured from the Wasteland Star had already appeared on the periphery of Lingzang Star.
"Long Qianshan, this time you kid has made a lot of money, and you have discovered a primordial planet with aura. A large bearded man appeared on the battleship's main screen, and the hearty laughter made the man in military uniform frown.
Long Qianshan, the captain of the Netherworld Squad, controls a fleet of five warships, and this time it was he who discovered the Wasteland Star, and the big man who appeared on the screen was his second uncle, Long Xiao.
The Long family is a family of generals in the Starry Sky Empire, and almost all of their descendants serve in the army, and they all hold high positions.
And Long Xiao is the head of this Lingzang Star, with the rank of lieutenant general, and he is still on the newly promoted Long Qianshan.
"Report to the general, a total of 2,633,613 slaves have been arrested this time, more than ninety percent of them are in the Forging Body Realm, a small number of Ascending Spirit Realms, and one Iron Wall Realm. Long Qianshan gave a standard military salute to Long Xiao.
"Very good, the death and casualty rate of the slaves in the Lingzang Star has been very high in the recent stage, and with this batch of slave replenishment, the urgent need can be alleviated. Long Xiao nodded.
After that, the Nether Squad entered the port, and the first batch of slaves, including Xuanyuan Hong, were escorted off the battleship by hundreds of mechas, this is just the first batch of slaves, and a large number of slaves will be escorted to this Lingzang Star soon.
Lingzang Star is the largest slave concentration camp in the Star Empire, since the discovery of Lingzang Star, nearly ninety percent of the slaves in the Star Empire will not be sent here to mine ore, tens of billions of slaves died on this Lingzang Star, it can be said that every piece of ore on the Lingzang Star is stained with the blood of slaves.
After two days of recuperation, Xuanyuan Hong's injuries have also healed for the most part, at least there is no problem with free movement.
However, when he saw these mecha with a dark golden light on the surface, Xuanyuan Hong's heart trembled, and the insight that he had exercised in the wasteland was even sharper than that of the beasts made him sense the danger of these mechas.
These mechs are far more powerful than the mechs encountered on the wasteland star, but fortunately, there are only a few such mechs that emit a dark golden light, and there are only one or two of them out of the hundreds.
"I didn't expect the empire to equip you with high-level mechas. Long Qianshan was also shocked when he saw those mechas.
The mecha of the Star Empire is mainly divided into four levels, low-level mecha, intermediate-level mecha, high-level mecha and the legendary secret martial mecha.
Mecha is the best embodiment of human technology, even if an ordinary person is familiar with the operation of the mecha, even a low-level mecha is enough to be comparable to a cultivator in the Ascending Spirit Realm, and the intermediate mecha is comparable to a cultivator in the Iron Wall Realm, as for the high-level mecha is a strong man who can compete with the Dragon Power Realm, as for the secret martial mecha that exists in the legend, it is said that it has been able to compete with the strong man of the Longevity Realm.
Compared with cultivation, the advantages of mecha are also quite obvious, the results are fast, and the number is also extremely amazing, thousands of mecha combined are enough to sweep a planet.
However, the cost of making a mecha is also extremely amazing, a low-level mecha requires millions of star coins, the cost of an intermediate mecha is tens of millions of star coins, and the cost of a high-level mecha has reached hundreds of millions or even billions.
Such an expensive price has led to the fact that the mecha equipped in the Star Empire army are basically junior mechas, and the intermediate mecha are only a minority, as for the high-level mechas, they are only qualified to be equipped with ace troops.
And there are no less than ten high-level mecha guarding this Lingzang Star, which shows that the empire attaches great importance to this Lingzang Star!
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't grind, your only task on this Soul Treasure Star is to mine, dig until you die!" a mecha carrying a long whip that emitted cyan light kept making a sound in the air.
On the Lingzang Star, slaves don't have any right to speak, and no one cares about your life or death, dead is dead, and you don't even need people to clean up your corpse, because once you die, these corpses will become food for other slaves, this is a world where one eats people, and the slaves here have given up their morality and dignity in order to survive.
People eat people, even on Xuanyuan Hong's uncivilized planet, it is very rare, but it is a normal thing on this Lingzang Star that is ruled by a higher civilization.
Under the watchful eye of the mecha, Xuanyuan Hong and they soon joined the mighty mining army, as long as the movement slowed down a little, the whip in the mecha's hand would fall instantly, and a whip down was enough to kill a prime man.
Although Xuanyuan Hong wanted to tear these mecha to pieces, he forcibly pressed them down, and it was undoubtedly his own death to do it at this time.
After all, he is a powerhouse in the Iron Wall Realm, and Xuanyuan Hong's mining speed is much faster than that of ordinary slaves, and he knocks down a piece of black ore with a few hammers.
"Black iron ore!" Several miners beside Xuanyuan Hong quietly formed a trap on Xuanyuan Hong.
Black iron ore can be refined from black iron, which is the main material used to forge weapons, many cultivators will wear weapons made of black iron, and a palm-sized piece of black iron ore on the Lingzang Star can be exchanged for a pound of grain.
"What do you want to do?" Xuanyuan Hong snorted, as a triple powerhouse of the Iron Wall Realm, his six senses were naturally much sharper than these ordinary people, and he had already discovered the abnormalities of these mine slaves.
"Hand over the ore in your hands, or today will be your death. The mining slave with only one eye looked at Xuanyuan Hong's sturdy body and couldn't help but lick his mouth.
He could see at a glance that Xuanyuan Hong was a mining slave who had just arrived at this Lingzang Star, such a mining slave still maintained a strong body, and the flesh and blood of this mining slave was also the most delicious!
The mecha not far away also found out about these mine slaves, but he was not interested in caring about it at all, the most worthless thing on this Lingzang Star was the life of the mine slaves, and if one died, more would be sent tomorrow.
"Get out!" Xuanyuan Hong was like a fierce beast, and his fierce aura frightened these mine slaves to the ground.
"Bang!" the one-eyed man struck Xuanyuan Hong on the door of the head with a hammer.
But unexpectedly, it was the one-eyed man who was screaming, and his right hand holding the hammer was already lying on his stomach at this time, and the bones of his right hand had been completely shattered.
A thin layer of red light curtain on Xuanyuan Hong's body blocked the hammer, and the huge force of the shock completely shattered the one-eyed man's right arm.
A person who has just reached the realm of forging the body dares to make a move against a person who is in the realm of iron walls, and this is the end.
However, at the moment when Xuanyuan Hong was about to make a move, a cyan light whip was directly drawn.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Hong had aura to protect his body, but he just stumbled, and his body immediately regained its balance!
"Sure enough, it's the Iron Wall Realm, but this is my territory, don't be too arrogant for me!"
Xuanyuan Hong's eyes were full of evil energy, it was this kind of mecha that destroyed his home, and with his strength, he was completely able to break this mecha to pieces, but he couldn't!
"Smack!" Another whip, this cyan whip actually broke Xuanyuan Hong's aura shield!
"Poof!" The huge impact directly knocked Xuanyuan Hong away, but Xuanyuan Hong stabilized his body after rolling twice, and it seemed that he did not suffer any fatal injuries.
The damage that a junior mech can do to Xuanyuan Hong is quite limited, but once the number of times it increases, it is very dangerous.
"The black iron ore belongs to me!" I saw that as soon as the whip of this mecha turned, the black iron ore that had just been dug up fell into the hands of this mecha.
A palm-sized piece of black iron ore is also worth a lot of money on the Lingzang Star, and anyone will take advantage of such a bargain.
Xuanyuan Hong glanced at the mecha coldly, picked up his hammer and entered the depths of the mine.
The Lingzang Star has been developed by the Starry Sky Empire for thousands of years, and this mine is getting deeper and deeper, and even the managers of the Starry Sky Empire don't know how deep the mine hole on the Starry Sky Empire is.
However, no one cares about this problem, as long as the amount of ore on the Lingzang Star does not decrease, the ore production of this Lingzang Star has accounted for about one percent of the Starry Sky Empire, which is already a considerable share.
The deeper he went into the mine, the fewer miners he encountered, and there was no mecha to monitor inside the mine, which made Xuanyuan Hong breathe a sigh of relief.
There are many forks in the depths of the mine, and if you walk around randomly, you will get lost in this mine, and without food and water, the miners will not last for a few days.
There are not a few mining slaves who starved to death and died of thirst in the mines, and many of them were unbearable to endure the cruelty of the Starry Sky Empire and hid in the depths of the mines, starving to death inside.
If you want to get food on the Lingzang Star, you can only exchange the ore you have dug up, and the proportion of the exchange is also quite unfair, a hundred catties of ore can be exchanged for a catty of food, and the miners who can't dig the ore can only be starved to death, and then become food for other miners.
Xuanyuan Hong didn't want to die, so it was obviously not feasible to hide in the depths of this mine all the time, in order to get food and water, he had to dig enough ore, and not just to live, he needed enough food to ensure his physical strength, only with sufficient physical strength could he cultivate better, he had to be strong, strong enough to avenge his father and his clansmen.
