Fountain Domain, Pegasus Constellation, 4-EP12 Galaxy, Planet IV, Asteroid Belt I
A mining squadron of ten Cyclor-class mining barges is mining around a piece of Vanquart.
"Michael, we're done digging this spar, let's dig up plagioclase. There are still a lot of minerals in this asteroid belt, so there's no need to focus on a single mine. "A Cycloner-class mine ship sent a communication to its companion on the left.
"Don't do that, Adrian. The adults have said that what we lack most now is the tri-titanium alloy. The damned Emma had blasted most of the minerals' storage warehouses, and it would take at least half a year to clear the entrance. And now that the Emma fleet is coming again, we must defend ourselves! And the first step to defend yourself is to dig up enough mortal crystals. Refine more tri-titanium alloys, then build more warships! Michael said to Adrian.
"Yes, yes, let more warships protect us so that the Emma don't come and bully us. Am I right? Adrian said with a grin.
"Isn't that so? General Tedis said it, all the Mimatar are united! Mimatar people all over the world unite! Only then will we be able to trample under the feet the Emma who have enslaved us. Michael said.
"I can't see it, even you were moved by the propaganda of those guys? Anyway, for me, it's the Emma, it's the Mimatar. It doesn't matter who rules us, as long as they can control what they can eat. The Mimatar will never be slaves? Hehe, unless you eat and live. Adrian quipped.
"Shhhh You don't want to die! There are so many people here! It's not like you don't know that because of the attack of the Emma people these days, those hoe teams are now arresting people everywhere! Michael was taken aback by Adrian's words, and he quickly whispered to his friend.
Although he knew that the entire mine ship was on his own, Michael still looked around him in fear. He was afraid that the elusive hoe team would suddenly emerge from a corner, and then said to him: "Comrade, please come with me to Lubyanka Square No. 2." The Republican Bureau has something to know from you! ”
"Michael, what are you thinking! I'm not stupid, I'm talking to you in a private chat. Adrian hurriedly said to him.
"Whew~~~ You guy! It scared the hell out of me! Michael let out a long sigh.
"Comrade Michael, please come with me to Lubyanka Square No. 2 after the mining work is over, the Republican Security Bureau has something to know from you." Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded in his ear.
"Ahhh Ladies and gentlemen of the hoe team, I am a good citizen! I have never opposed the republican government, nor have I harbored any saboteurs against the republic! Michael was instantly frightened, and he quickly raised his hands and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Hahahaha! Michael, you're still so timid! Adrian's mischievous laughter came from the communication channel.
"Ai! Morality! Village! Quiet! You've gone too far! How can you scare me like that?! Michael said angrily to Adrian.
"Hahaha, don't do that, I'm just joking with you. Don't be angry! Adrian said to him with a grin.
"It's really scary! You've gone too far! Do you know that I thought it was really those people from the hoe team who came to arrest me, and I raised my hands and prepared to surrender! You don't know what happened to those who were arrested, are you happy that I was caught? Michael said loudly to Adrian.
"Alright, don't be so afraid, my brother. We're chatting privately, and although the private chat channel isn't encrypted, no one usually comes in. Adrian said in a nonchalant tone.
"It's not a question of whether anyone comes in! You really scared me out just now! I thought I was going to be caught, and then I was dragged out and shot! Michael complained.
"Okay, I know it's wrong. By the way, don't you really want to dig with me for a mineral planet? We've almost dug up this mortal crystal! All spars, all spars, I want to vomit when I see all spars now! Every day, I know that we will dig up mortal crystals, and I don't know where all the mortal crystals that were dug up to them before have gone! Adrian said.
"It's better to complain less, I'm afraid we're going to get into trouble... Adrian, don't say that in front of outsiders! Michael discouraged.
"I know I'm not stupid. I still have a long life to enjoy, so why bother myself out of thin air? Adrian asked rhetorically.
"That's good, that's good. Although the two of us are not interested in the things that General Tedis promotes, we must not expose them in front of outsiders. Those hoe gangsters are worried that they can't find the fools who will hit the muzzle of the gun! Michael admonished again.
"Wait, Michael, don't talk yet!" Suddenly, Adrian stopped him and said.
"Don't change the subject! I'll get down to business with you! Michael thought his friend was trying to change the subject as usual and evade responsibility.
"No, I didn't change the subject. There seems to be something behind you, let me zoom in and see. Adrian said.
"Behind me? Something behind me? Adrian, don't scare me! This is in the universe, where can there be anything? Michael thought he was scaring himself again, and said dissatisfied.
"Nope! I swear to God you definitely have something behind you! Adrian exclaimed.
"Oh? If I find out you're lying to me, you'll have to treat me to a big meal! Michael turned his bow and turned on the remote viewfinder to look at the object Adrian was talking about.
"Isn't it a Freedom Fleet warship! Adrian, what are you fussing about? After seeing what it was, Michael said helplessly to Adrian.
"Is it really the Freedom Fleet? But why do I always feel that something is wrong? Adrian muttered.
"Ann, don't worry, buddy. Maybe the guys managed to open up an Emma armory? Anyway, don't all our warships rely on those captured from the Emma? Michael said with a shrug.
"Wait! So what is this? What is this bubble-like object? Adrian's sudden shouting interrupted what Michael was about to say.
