Chapter 1 Professional miners in the game
"The latest news, the top guild diamond force located in the ninth star area of the Orion spiral arm and the top blue-blooded alliance in the tenth star area broke out in the Shinjuku two star system, it is reported that the two sides have invested a total of fourteen Titan super flagships and twenty-two heavy aircraft carriers, the battle is ongoing, and the headlines will continue to bring you the latest news."
"The latest news, the ghost star system located in the second star region of Orion's spiral arm suddenly erupted into a supernova, and strong gamma rays swept across the universe, and it is reported that one of the gamma rays disappeared into the star sky in the form of a hyperspace jump, and all the planets and asteroids in the ghost star system have melted away when the news is released."
"Gamma rays can also jump in hyperspace, and the headlines are getting more and more unreliable now!"
Fang Ning sat in the command chair, casually closed one of the thirteen light curtains side by side in front of him, took the coffee handed by the girl-like assistant who imitated a famous actress but had more exaggerated curves, took a sip, and muttered while glancing at the remaining twelve light curtains:
"Nana's, where are the high-density solid ice crystals, I'm about to turn around this asteroid belt and haven't found it yet."
These twelve light curtains are the display screen of the twelve unmanned mining machines that come with his armed mining ship, some time ago he received an order, and a guild spent a high price of one hundred and fifty star yuan a unit to acquire high-density solid ice crystals in large quantities, as a professional mining player, of course Fang Ning would not miss this list.
High-density and strong ice crystals can refine crystalline quartz alloy, which is an essential material for making the hull of warships above the cruiser, specially used for bow armor, which can effectively weaken the damage of energy weapons, and is very sought-after in the market, but the output is too low, and it is difficult to find even professional mining players like Fang Ning.
He is now located in the asteroid belt of a star system called ZH-54, a very common barren galaxy whose main sequence star is an M-class star, also known as a red dwarf, which is the most ubiquitous star species in the universe.
Their brightness is generally very low, they are difficult to observe with the naked eye in the starry sky, and they rarely emit ultraviolet light.
The ZH-54 main-sequence star is a common red dwarf, and there are no living planets in this galaxy, except for a space station over the third barren planet orbiting the star.
The asteroid belt is generally formed by a group of stars in the primitive stellar nebula, the so-called stars are the predecessors of the planets that are smaller than the planets, because they are affected by the gravity of the stars and the gravity of nearby planets and cannot form planets, resulting in many stars colliding with each other to form debris and fragments, the main components are carbonaceous, silicate and metals, that is, minerals.
In addition to producing various minerals, the asteroid belt of the ZH-54 galaxy is also rich in a mineral called ice crystals, one of which is the high-density and strong ice crystals he is looking for.
The eyes swept over the twelve light curtains one by one, the drones were working normally, there were four mining drones were stopping on an ice crystal meteorite with a diameter of about 800 meters to dig, large pieces of gravel and dust flew out and floated in the gravityless space, and from time to time ice crystals were mined and loaded into the warehouse of the unmanned mining machine.
This ice crystal meteorite is grayish-yellow as a whole, and from time to time a large gray-blue ice crystal ore is seen in the middle of the meteorite, such a large meteorite, Fang Ning guessed that there is a high probability of high-density solid ice crystals in it.
He stretched out his hand to move the four light curtains in front of him, stretched out his ten fingers to manipulate them back and forth, and the four unmanned mining machines spewed light flames from behind them and flew above the meteorite, where there was a house-sized crater with many cracks on the edge, which seemed to be the marks left by the impact with other meteorites.
Fang Ning controlled the mining drone to cut the existing cracks with a mining laser, and was ready to cut this large meteorite to see if there was any ore he needed in it.
The dazzling laser rapidly expanded the cracks, and the huge meteorite shook slightly, and in some places it had begun to automatically produce small cracks.
Fang Ning controlled the more than 300-meter-long armed mining ship to slowly approach the meteorite, this armed mining ship was bought by him after spending more than half a year moving bricks and saving money in the stars, and it came with four small laser cannons, which no one could beat in battle, and was mainly used to smash meteorites in close quarters.
Among the stars, the mainstream is interstellar exploration and interstellar warfare, but there are also many people like Fang Ning who are not good at combat and can only be a life stream player.
Since graduating from college, Fang Ning has devoted himself to the vast army of professional gamers, entering the Stars, an online game supported by the federal government, to become a professional bricklayer.
Without money, there is only liver, and after spending half a year of liver missions day and night, coupled with the support of the guild, he finally saved enough money to buy this armed mining ship that integrates mining and transportation, and jumped away from the lowest brick movers to become a ship-owning family.
At the same time, the remaining eight unmanned mining machines in the vicinity were transferred to the control panel, and Fang Ning was ready to gather all the mining machines to disassemble the meteorite.
As the twelve unmanned mining machines cut together, it didn't take long for the huge meteorite to finally begin to crack, and an invisible wave spread, and the armed transport ship he was on was shaken apart by the invisible wave.
However, Fang Ning didn't pay attention to these at all, and when the dust cleared, he quickly controlled an unmanned mining machine to fly towards the rift, ready to see if there was anything he needed inside.
But as soon as the unmanned mining machine flew to the rift, before he could check below, a dazzling pillar of light flew out of it, and in an instant, Fang Ning only felt that the entire world was melted by the dazzling light, and he instantly lost consciousness.
"The latest news, supernova gamma rays from the distant Orion Spiral Arm Ghost Galaxy erupted from the asteroid belt in the star system ZH-54, melting a third of the asteroid belt on the spot and destroying the space station on Planet Three."
"Holy, all my possessions!"
Coming out of the resurrection point of the nearest space station in another galaxy, Fang Ning looked up at the dome of the space station, the muscles on his face kept beating, and his heart ached beyond measure.
This wave of gamma-ray bursts suddenly rushed out of the asteroid, directly melting him and his people and boats, and there was not even scum left.
You must know that this game is different from previous games, if the equipment in it is blown up, such as ships, it will be directly gone, and it will not only lose some durability like other games.
If it was usual, he might rush over to salvage it to see if he could pick up the ore scattered in place and return to the book, but since he read the prompt on the system log, he has lost that thought, the gamma ray burst through the face, the planet can be shot, and the ore is long gone.
The worst thing is that he didn't buy insurance in order to save money, even if there was a guild to report the loss, it was only a small part, and the remaining savings were no longer enough for him to buy a new ship.
"Niang Xipi, I can't play!"
The supernova gamma-ray energy space jump of the ghost galaxy in the second star region of the distant Orion Spiral Arm is outrageous, and it is even more outrageous to jump directly to your own face, which can no longer be described as outrageous, in the words commonly used by players, this is no longer the Mother of the Void watching you, but the Mother of the Void has taken a fancy to you and beckoned to you.
However, Fang Ning felt more like the Mother of the Void had urinated on herself, otherwise she couldn't describe how outrageous her experience was.
The explosion on the spot didn't blow it up, mainly because there was no place to vent the gas, and the fire in the stomach finally held back by himself, and then sent a message to the official in charge of the guild miner player that the spaceship was scrapped, and by the way, the picture before the last death was transmitted.
Didn't it take long to receive a'? 'Question mark, then a piece of information, open it and take a look:
"Come back and go through the formalities, and the guild will report half of the loss."
"Oh yes!"
This is still good news, Fang Ning is in a slightly better mood, he has reported a lot of losses, and then he can buy a small ship through the guild channel, which is better than being a bricklayer again.
Fang Ning's guild was called the Void Hammer, and it was a legion with a level of four stars, which was considered a big guild in the local area.
Among the stars, the guild is a commonly used name, in fact, it is officially called the legion, the alliance of wars, and the empire, one level is higher than the first, and the diamond force in the headlines before is the top guild active in the ninth star region of the Orion Spiral Arm, and the official level is a three-star war alliance, which is stronger than the Hammer of the Void..... Dozens or hundreds of times.
Fang Ning didn't know the specific gap, anyway, he only knew that the Void Hammer was now a big voyage, that is, a heavy aircraft carrier, and the Titan Super Flagship didn't have one, and if it fought with the Diamond Force, it was estimated that it would be hammered to death in minutes.
The Void Hammer is located in the Bojiang Galaxy in the fifteenth sector of the second 'Orion' spiral arm of the new galaxy, and it is almost at the end of the spiral arm.
The main sequence star of the Bojiang galaxy is a huge class F yellow-white dwarf star, in this galaxy there is a second-class life planet named Bojiang, the Galactic Empire has colonized this planet for 5,000 years, and has now developed into the central planet of hundreds of nearby star systems.
Of course, the main reason is that there are only two living planets in the hundreds of star systems nearby, and there happens to be a super stargate connected to more than thirty star gates nearby.
With the same convenient transportation, the Bojiang system is also a must for the player's guild, in this system, a total of thirteen guilds are stationed here, and the Void Hammer is one of them, ranking among the top three in strength among the thirteen guilds.
Well, it's third.
The spaceship was exploded, Fang Ning could only take a civilian spaceship to fly to the Bojiang Galaxy, the passenger ship queued up at the stargate for half an hour, and slowly slid into the stargate under the guidance of the traction field, and a nice female prompt sounded in his ears:
"Ladies and gentlemen, our spacecraft has entered the transition state, please enter the hibernation pod, fasten your seat belt, put down the safety cover, and confirm whether the signal light of the hibernation pod is green, if you have any questions, please press the red button of the hibernation pod, thank you for your cooperation."
"Buzz!"
As the spacecraft trembled slightly, Fang Ning, who had made N spaceship jumps, knew that the spacecraft had begun to enter the hyperspace channel and was already in a superluminal state.
A groggy feeling hit him, and he slowly closed his eyes, and a light in the center of his eyebrows lit up sharply.
