In the Sahara Desert, Zhang Shusheng and his party of 51 people walked into this mysterious alien mining ship.

On the surface, Zhang Shusheng is just wearing an ordinary biological battle armor, which is not as thick as those in the interstellar ground forces, and it is not as murderous and sci-fi as it looks, but these soldiers know that the chairman is the real master.

"Everyone be careful, once there is an abnormality, protect the chairman!"

Wu Peiqiang said vigilantly through the intercom that came with the mecha. In his hand he was holding a KS-1 laser gun, the actual weight was almost the same as a heavy machine gun, but it was very powerful and looked mighty, which was suitable for a fierce man like him.

When he was in the regular army, Wu Peiqiang was a powerful macho man, the kind of macho man who could be perverted enough to sweep the enemy with a multi-barreled machine gun, much stronger than his cousin who was the division commander.

He and his cousin Hou Xiaoshan were both selected for the B-class academy of the Galactic Star Academy, and they also received genetic modification, and there will be some successive modifications related to the skills of future warriors.

This is also how many civilizations train warriors.

In order to have countless interstellar ground forces, Zhang Shusheng also exchanged for some very advanced training systems, relying on those meticulous Class A Academy instructors and robot instructors to train these Class B Academy newcomers.

Zhang Shusheng's weapon is not a thermal weapon, but a war knife, which is not a laser dagger or laser sword that soldiers may use, but an ultra-high-strength war knife, which is the standard war knife of the God of War biological mecha.

With the peak strength of the God of War that he was about to break through to a planet-level powerhouse, with a single sword, the battleships of the second-level civilization could be cut.

Although the internal civilization is not as easy to mass produce and speed up as the technological civilization, it is too powerful to win in the individual combat power.

He walked all the way, while gathering his own brain waves, the soul power unique to civilization in his body penetrated and diffused, and these soul powers could also connect to the dream machine in his body, which meant that he was a mobile radar at this moment.

"Everything is normal, follow me."

The base is not very large, with Zhang Shusheng's soul power, with the help of the analysis of the dream machine, he quickly connected to the main brain of the mining ship, activated the head of the mining ship owner who had been sleeping for a long time, and mastered the situation of the entire mining ship, Zhang Shusheng knew where to go.

"This is the main control center."

The first thing everyone came to was a splendid hall, the furnishings were very simple, they were all auxiliary equipment of some intelligent systems, and facilities and equipment for artificial operation, a very common main control center in the interstellar era.

"Didi ......"

The instrument light, which represents the ship's mastermind, is flickering.

"Welcome host, welcome host, please wait, start charging, start countdown ......"

There was some euphoria in the electronic sound, which was the activated mastermind recharging itself after being cracked and authorized by the Dream Machine, a system much more advanced than him.

Ten seconds, worthy of a professional mining ship, the main brain has completed the charge.

"Drop!" With a sound, the virtual screen opened, and a beautiful woman in a black military uniform appeared on the virtual imaging table, and even Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh that the aesthetics of this third-level civilization were at least not reversed.

The appearance of the black beauty is very similar to that of earthlings, and it is also a carbon-based life, and even the height is about the same, but the body is very slender, which is also in line with the aesthetics of some earthlings.

The virtual military uniform worn on the body is the standard military uniform of the Longshan Empire, which shows that this mining ship may be owned by the Longshan Emperor [***], or there is a certain connection.

"Get a new uniform."

Zhang Shusheng ordered the Dream Machine, the Dream Machine is a huge and mysterious system, Zhang Bing usually carries it with him, this super intelligent life that can switch between various forms such as data and robots, is the steward of the Dream Machine.

"It's the boss."

Under Zhang Bing's order, the virtual beauty changed into a standard military uniform that was also pure black, and the biggest mark on it was with a dragon pattern, and you could see a dragon pattern on the military uniform, which is also the standard military uniform of the future Imperial Space Force, and it will eventually be implemented in the whole army.

After wearing this imperial uniform, it is naturally more mysterious and beautiful.

"Welcome the host aboard." The virtual mastermind beauty saluted the emperor [***] salute.

"Tell us a little bit about the situation."

Countless seats suddenly popped up in the rest area of the main control center, and Zhang Shusheng and the others sat down and listened slowly. Some intelligent life robots were also activated, and began to serve the pure water they had just collected and made, and some food synthesized according to the parameters of the earth. Zhang Shusheng tasted the water, and there was no abnormal taste in the light.

The degree of intelligence of the virtual mastermind beauty is actually not high, according to Zhang Bing, it has added several very key intelligent programs to make her more intelligent.

"Master, the F-class mining ship Garimo used to belong to the Garimo family, a nobleman in the southwest star field of the Longshan Empire......"

According to the mastermind's report, Zhang Shusheng figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing.

600 years ago, around the end of the Ming Dynasty, an expedition team of the Garimo family accidentally got lost here while exploring the lost star field where the earth is located, and they discovered the earth, a creature full of intelligent life.

Since this Lost Star Domain does not belong to any force, if the Garimo family announces to the outside world that they have discovered the Earth as usual, explores a strange and rugged star path in the Lost Star Field, and registers with the Planet Management Committee of the Longshan Empire to own the Earth, they may be able to get the Earth, but the price paid may be the loss of the entire family.

The Lost Star Field has always been coveted by many parties, but no one can help it.

The Garimo family's expedition originally had more than 20 large and small ships, but in the end, only one G-class mining ship narrowly passed, and they found that it was full of ores that could be used by first-class and second-class civilizations, and they were naturally overjoyed and ready to quietly make a windfall.

So, while ordering the G-class mining ship to expedite the exploration of the mysterious planet of the earth, the Garimo family secretly purchased an F-class mining ship from the third-level civilization at a high price, preparing to come to the earth.

Don't underestimate this ship, the rugged star path of the Lost Star Field can only be barely passed by a guy like it, it is small, fast, and has strong defense, and it is the most suitable to pass.

Moreover, it only needs to go back and forth once, and the purified energy block can make the Garimo family a lot of money, let alone use it for a long time.

However, to the Garimohs' surprise, the G-class mining vessel soon disappeared, and the final footage that came back confirmed that it had been killed while probing a mysterious ruin on Earth.

The small loss did not make the Garimo family afraid, but prepared a large number of G-class mining ships to set off with the F-class Garimo.

These G-class mining ships were completely professional exploration and exploration ships, but the results were very unexciting, even terrifying, and more than sixty G-class ships were all swallowed up by the mysterious ruins of the Earth and other planets in the Lost Star Field, and there was only one place that was finally taken down, and that was this mine in the Sahara Desert.

This mine is very large, completely underground, and a lot of rare minerals have been found in the shallow surface alone, and even the additional mines are all very good quality energy mines.

As a result, the Garimo family did not dare to explore those mysterious ruins anymore, so they had to launch an F-class mining ship in this abandoned mine and start mining.

"Mysterious ruins? Could it be the places that have been marked with skull symbols by the Dream Machine? ”

Mysterious ruins Zhang Shusheng knows that there are a lot of them on the earth, but the dream system marks those places as dangerous, Zhang Bing said, these mysterious ruins are very extraordinary, and some may even be very dangerous, there are intelligent creatures, although they are all subject to a lot of restrictions, but who bothers them, it is still not a good thing.

However, the dream system doesn't know how to do it, it actually reached a tacit understanding with those mysterious ruins, which can ensure that Zhang Shusheng and them get along safely.

"There are also some who are not very peaceful, but they are all cleaned up by the dream system, which is really pitiful."

This is Zhang Bing's original words, but Zhang Shusheng also fully believes that a system is so powerful that it is against the sky, and the so-called mysterious ruins are estimated to be just the remnants of other civilizations, so it is completely possible to compromise.

So the current situation is that Zhang Shusheng doesn't have to pay attention to them, and they don't bother Zhang Shusheng. These mysterious ruins, too long a time, have wiped out too many things.

Some may still have one or two lives, some may only have one main brain still running, and some may just be some mysterious beings with intelligence, under the premise that Zhang Shusheng does not go crazy, they can no longer threaten the human beings on the earth at all.

"Zhang Bing, let the system assess the situation here."

Zhang Shusheng gave an order, and Zhang Bing, who was hidden in the Dream Machine system and hidden in Zhang Shusheng's body, of course, started work immediately.

"Yes, master," the mastermind continued, "we have been suddenly attacked by a mysterious force that has caused our mining ships to lose their effects and all intelligent life, including me, to fall into a deep sleep. The machine stopped running, and it was sealed and slumbered. ”

The mastermind beauty naturally doesn't understand what the mysterious power is, and she doesn't know the inside story, so Zhang Shusheng naturally has to sit back and wait for the exploration of the dream system.

Soon, the DreamMachines system used the energy and detection methods of the mining ship to conduct an in-depth exploration of the mine below. The stingy dream system is generally not suitable for the system's own super energy and detection means.

"Boss, it's been found out, this is an abandoned mine, belonging to the Black Rock civilization.

The Black Rock Civilization is a second-level civilization earlier than the Longshan Empire, a civilization that completely lives underground, and when they were most prosperous, they only owned a planet, and were later wiped out by the Silver Moon Empire, a third-level civilization that the Longshan Empire is now attached to.

After the planet of the Black Rock People was conquered, a group of Black Rock people fled into the Lost Star Domain, but they didn't expect to live on Earth, but now their strength is very weak.

According to the records, the Black Rock people are born miners, and the others are probably sold as slaves on the mineral planet. ”

Zhang Bing said simply.

"How strong are they now?" Zhang Shusheng asked.

"The strength is not bad, and the population is quite large, but they will never leave the ground." Zhang Bing said, "By the way, boss, their food is an energy mine, and the Garimo family snatched their food, so they were naturally attacked. ”

"Can we mine then?" Zhang Shusheng asked.

Zhang Bing was slightly stunned and said, "The system will communicate with them." ”

Half-ringing, Zhang Bing continued, "Boss, after bargaining, we succeeded. The Black Rocks have promised to cede a large area of energy mines to us, provided we don't cross the border to disturb them. ”

Zhang Shusheng was puzzled: "Is the energy mine in a large area enough for us to use?" ”

"That's enough, one of the districts they described, almost half the size of the Sahara Desert, and this is also the one of their largest mines closest to the surface, and the rest are underground, far, far away from us.

The difficulty of mining rich ore in this large area is very low, and the reserves are huge, which is completely enough for us. ”

Zhang Bing said happily.

"Okay, sign a civilized race contract with them, and maintain this relationship for the time being."

Zhang Shusheng was originally very interested in an exiled civilization that lived together with the underground and the mines, but now that everything is in ruins, he doesn't have so much energy to care about them, let them go first, and then turn around and then pay their attention.

It's good to find an opportunity to co-opt these natural miners.

The exchange between the dream system and a second-level civilization ended briefly and directly, and the Black Rock people did not express any resistance, nor did they come forward, and directly gave a large area of mines to the empire with a big wave of their hands.

Of course, this includes the most detailed mineral maps, mining recommendations, geology, and much more. The Black Rock people did not dare to provoke these seemingly weak indigenous civilizations, so they had to retreat deeper into the ground.

"Sahara, when will the mining ships be able to return to normal work?"

Zhang Shusheng asked.

The Sahara was the one who gave the original Garimo mining ship a new name, and it became known as the Sahara.

"Master, the spacecraft is basically intact, there is no fatal damage, the damage is only 5%, the overhaul work can be completed in 48 hours, and the production of energy blocks can start after 48 hours."

Two days is not long, Zhang Shusheng has seen many robot miners running around through the virtual screen, the equipment is also turned on, the mining and smelting equipment is also running and repairing, and even the nanorobots are repairing the equipment everywhere.

He had to sigh that a mining ship in the interstellar era was completely a powerful and complete system. In the interstellar era, from a small mecha to a war fortress, they are all large and small systems, which can survive and play a role.

However, a question suddenly occurred to him, and he asked Sahara, "When will the Garimos come back to the Lost Star Field, or to Earth?" ”

The main brain, Sahara, was slightly stunned, and Zhang Bing, the system administrator of the dream machine, entered some data such as the coordinates of the Lost Star Domain for her to analyze, and took over some of her data to analyze together.

"The last time I received their message was 50 years ago, about 28 months away, and they would walk out of that most rugged star path, reach the open zone of the Lost Star Field, and march to Earth."

"Boss, the result of my calculation is 2 years and 1 month. This refers to variables such as the scientific and technological development of the Longshan Empire. ”

Zhang Shusheng's brows furrowed, he was in trouble now.
