"Huh? There was a little difficulty. ”

Hearing Chen Jun's words, Zhang Shusheng's face also became solemn, stopped what he was doing, walked to the side, and motioned for him to continue.

The work of excavating the civilization sniffer was actually arranged early in the morning.

At the earliest, Zhang Shusheng knew from the dream machine Zhang Bing that every interstellar civilization would launch countless civilization sniffers into the star fields around him.

When the civilization activity on this planet reaches a certain level, these civilization sniffers will be activated, and then the equipment will be turned on to collect the civilization form and development level here.

Next, these valuable natives will be sent back, and when the nobles, families, or generals learn about it, they will organize a development fleet to deal with it.

Interstellar civilizations are diverse, and the forms of power are extremely rich.

For example, in the imperial civilization, due to the existence of the imperial system and the aristocratic system, on the basis of the unimaginably vast territory, whether it is the royal family or the aristocracy, can be divided into some lands.

These lands are not just a few hectares, or a few square kilometers, but often a planet, or a small star field, as few as one or two, or as many as dozens of planets.

These royalty or nobles, in their sphere of influence, will also continue to discover and explore new civilizations, and then incorporate them into their own sphere of influence.

Therefore, they will launch countless civilization sniffers into the star field of their sphere of influence at any cost, these probes like nanobots at the peak of the first-level civilization, lurking on countless uninhabited planets, deserted planets, if they discover the existence of civilization, they will be activated, if they are not discovered, they will often sleep for countless years, until the equipment is completely necrotic and no longer functional.

The starry sky is vast, and even a small star field often has countless planets, and the different forms of life cannot completely use the method of artificial garrison to observe the development of civilization. Some civilizations may only take 10,000 years to develop, while others may take hundreds of thousands of years, and they still exist in very strange life forms, such as liquids, rocks, etc., and human beings are completely unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities, so they can only rely on those civilization sniffers that can work for tens of thousands of years or even longer.

While the investment is significant, the returns are often even greater.

Primordial planets that meet the standards of civilization sniffer awakening are often extremely valuable.

The first is 'human value', according to the common name in the universe, in this universe, the mainstream life form is still 'human', able to communicate, able to communicate, through the establishment of scientific and technological civilization or internal civilization, to develop their own civilization.

These can be called human beings, they are not fundamentally different from human beings, they also evolved from primitive forms, the same from the use of tools, slowly through labor to form science, science once again promoted the development of civilization.

They are also a social form composed of countless 'people', and in the universe, this law of growing from small to large, from less to more, from weak to strong, at least in most star fields, is the mainstream of life development trajectory.

The humans of these primitive planets, after being discovered, were first sent to the laboratory to be guinea pigs, and then the nobles would learn what these people were suitable for development.

Some planetary humans are born with brute strength, huge strength, and quick reactions, and such humans are suitable for becoming mechs or interstellar assault infantry. Then, they would be captured by tens of billions and sent to the armies of the nobles, or simply sold, which is where the slave soldiers come from.

Similarly, there are races that are good at controlling electronic equipment, and are sold as high-level slave warships. Some are good at concealing their aura, and are bought to train as killers, and with high-tech equipment, they are an interstellar killer.

As for the planetary human beings with a developed civilization, they are naturally sought-after, and once discovered, they are often sold in large quantities in all directions.

From interstellar assault infantry, mecha soldiers, battleship soldiers and other slave soldiers, to killers, bodyguards, servants, miners, and some high-level rare slaves, this is the value of people.

And the value of the planet is often greater.

No single force is 100% able to detect a planet, because there may be minerals, resources, and even special energies on this planet that they do not understand for the time being, as well as some wealth that they cannot understand. However, the indigenous civilizations of the primitive planets are often able to discover the treasures on these planets and develop them initially.

At this time, it only takes a start, and those tycoons can quickly find a way to make a fortune.

Therefore, there is a unified consensus in the interstellar that a planet that can produce a certain level of civilization must be a super treasure trove.

At the beginning, the energy shield provided by the Dream Machine could completely block the signals emitted by these civilization sniffers, but with the development of civilization, the intensification of civilization activities, and the system upgrade of the Dream Machine, this kind of small thing will be followed by Zhang Shusheng, and it is also what he must do.

Zhang Bing found a map of the distribution of civilization sniffers on the earth from the dream machine, a total of 69 of them, distributed all over the world, on land, in mountains, oceans, lakes, and rivers.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Dream Machine could provide shelter for a period of time, Zhang Shusheng produced a set of equipment specially designed to excavate and destroy civilization sniffers, which were used to find out the root causes of these civilizations that could bury the earth's civilization at any time.

Although Zhang Shusheng has not yet exchanged for the super machinery manufacturing center, some scattered advanced machinery and equipment have been exchanged for a lot.

This set of excavation and destruction equipment is actually based on the production of ordinary planetary mining ships, and the internal name is the Big Dipper exploration ship.

Three ships that can fly, launch, drill, and use energy weapons to attack and destroy the discovered civilization sniffers.

It's complicated to say, but it's actually a primary planet exploration ship that is all-powerful on land, water and air. The prototype is a planetary integrated exploration ship built in the late stage of some first-level civilizations, close to the peak of first-level civilizations.

Zhang Shusheng pulled his hand out of thin air, and the 3D imaging equipment sensed the action, and suddenly a faint blue light lit up, and a exploration ship and a 3D simulated earth appeared. The simulation shows a survey vessel conducting exploration and blasting operations.

"Chairman, according to the plan, because we got the exact coordinates of 69 sniffers, it was smooth at first......"

Chen Jun began to talk about the month's excavation and blasting work.

Because the Earth Defense Command is still an empty shelf and has not been completely built, in order to ensure that there are no problems with the work of digging sniffers, Chen Jun, as the future deputy commander, set off with the ship.

Just two days ago......

North Africa, Sahara Desert.

In the cloudless sky, two black dots suddenly flew in, extremely fast, at least twenty times the speed of sound, the black dots became larger and larger, it turned out to be two slightly clumsy ship-shaped flying objects, and the two strange ships opened an anti-gravity suspension device on their bellies, and they were suspended in the middle of the desert two thousand meters above the desert.

This is the Big Dipper exploration ship that the Empire uses to uproot the civilization sniffer.

"General Chen, according to the instrument, under the 5 square kilometers of sandy land in front of you, is the W35 sniffer."

There is an open bridge on the exploration ship, and a group of people are inside to observe and discuss this uninhabited desert below.

The shipboard shooting equipment, the survey equipment has been activated, and the floating survey is being carried out, and a virtual 3D map of the terrain structure is rapidly forming.

Chen Jun nodded, just now he has repeatedly looked through the data of W35, and the previous 34 targets that have been pulled out are different, the data of this W35 is marked with an * number, the note behind the data is that the space telemetry has encountered obstacles, and it is necessary to use shipborne equipment to explore nearby during the actual exploration and blasting.

Therefore, for this W35 goal, Chen Jun attached great importance to it and personally followed the ship again.

The crowd walked up to the 3D simulation and saw a geological structure map taking shape.

Desert layer, soil layer, hard rock layer......

"Didi ......"

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound from the exploration equipment, and the staff was in a hurry.

"Finding anomalies."

"Immediately locate the location of the anomaly and preliminarily determine the type of anomaly."

After a while, a staff member said loudly into the headphones, "The telemetry energy wave for exploration has encountered an obstacle, it is suspected that it is an energy cover, I have increased the power, and the system will be demonstrated on the 3D screen soon." ”

These staff members are not ordinary scientific and technological personnel, nor are they cultivated by the regular imperial education, but are cultivated with elite education, which is an extension of Plan A that year, which is very huge, in order to cultivate these scientific and technological talents beyond the times, Zhang Shusheng has paid a lot.

As the power of the telemetry equipment increases, the 3D map calculated synchronously by the owner's brain of the exploration vessel also begins to become clear.

A large suspended layer of soil, with a red flashing dot in the middle, which is the location of the W35 detected from space, the power of the Dreammachine lies in its ability to discover many super-civilized technologies that cannot be discovered by current technology through a very small number of high-precision equipment.

In the middle of the normal soil layer, there is a fluorescent eggshell-like existence, and the main brain quickly analyzes the results, and a bunch of data crackles on the 3D screen.

"According to the analysis of the main brain, this is an energy shield with a strength of K-2 type."

Chen Daxia, the technical director of this trip, helped her glasses and said solemnly.

"Then what is the thing it protects, where there is an energy shield, the other party must attach great importance to it." Although Chen Jun doesn't know much about these cutting-edge technologies, at least he can understand and think in some easy-to-understand ways. After all, through genetic modification, he is not an ordinary person either.

He asked eagerly.

Chen Daxia said: "Yes, General, the master brain of our spaceship just connected with the master brain of the Science and Technology Committee, and found that this K-2 type energy shield is a small energy shield commonly used in the Longshan Empire, which is specially used to defend some scientific bases, interstellar frontier bases, etc. ”

"Longshan Empire!"

Chen Jun's expression became serious, and the staff present also knew these basic cosmic common sense, and they also knew what the Longshan Empire meant.

The Longshan Empire is a country that has just been promoted to a second-level cosmic state, and is one of the few second-level cosmic states that are 'closest' to the spatial location where the earth is located. Unlike those countries at the peak of the first-level universe country that have a few to a dozen planets, the second-level universe country generally has hundreds of planets, such as the Longshan galaxy, which has more than 110 habitable planets, as well as a very large number of deserted planets and mining stars.

Of course, in addition to this, the Longshan Empire, the 'second-level cosmic country closest to the earth', also has more than a dozen subsidiary civilizations, and these civilizations all belong to the first-level cosmic civilization.

Chen Jun thought for a moment and said, "Immediately enter combat preparations, and the main gun begins to be charged. Open the shield on the ship, just in case, and make sure there's no one else in the base. In addition, it stands ready to report to the Committee. ”

Looking at the vast desert below, no one could have imagined that under that dead sand, there was not only a sniffer buried, but even a base.

However, the exploration team did not report to the committee, because the mastermind, after increasing the telemetry energy wave to a considerable power, had already penetrated the disrepaired, dim energy shield and projected the situation inside onto the 3D screen.

A bleak scene began to appear, and some strange objects began to appear on the screen, some were spherical, some were spire-shaped, and some were steel-like, although the lighting was not very good, but the whole look gave people a very technological feeling.

"What do you think this looks like?"

Chen Jun had an answer in his heart, but he still asked.

"Like, like a factory ......"

Several young staff members said in unison.

"Yes, this is a factory!"

Chen Jun also affirmed that although it is too different from the factory on Earth, after taking over the new position and work, he has also learned a lot of new things, and he seems to have seen this scene in which article.

It's a factory, and I don't know what it's processing. But there is no doubt that it is a factory capable of self-contained, or, more accurately...... "it seems to be more of a ...... than just a factory"

Chen Daxia said in a solemn tone.

This is the whole situation, and when Zhang Shusheng heard it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"You're saying it's a mine protected by an energy shield."

Zhang Shusheng hurriedly asked the computer to play the picture of the exploration ship syncing over, looking at the place inside where the architectural style was strange, the facilities were different, and even some details looked strange, in fact, it was definitely an underground complex of small mines.

Others dare not guarantee it, but Zhang Shusheng and the mastermind of the dream machine know each other.

"Drip ...... This is an F-class mining ship from a third-level civilization......"

On the 3D screen, a line of words is quickly displayed, which is the detailed information about the huge underground complex in front of you.

Everything is obvious, this is a portable mine produced by a certain third-level civilization after the deployment of the F-class mining ship, it can not only explore, mine, smelt, but also self-repair, self-production equipment, is a very versatile mining ship, it is much more advanced than the Big Dipper exploration ship, is a real interstellar mining ship.

Zhang Shusheng only felt his blood boiling and excited, because he knew that mining ships of this level were generally carried by interstellar adventure teams and were used to mine very valuable metals.
