Chapter 8: The Energy Furnace
It was not far from Longmen Town to the mine, but it was only seven or eight miles away, and when it was just dark, Qin Ming had already walked to the mine.
Since the death of the unlucky father Qin Yanyi, the management of this mine has been handed over to Qin Ming, Qin Ming has also worked very hard to learn to operate spirit stone mining, and even food and accommodation are solved in the mine, it is rare to go home once, but five out of ten days are spent in the mine, so everything in the mine is complete.
It's a pity that the unlucky guy Qin Ming really has no talent for management, so he blindly expands production, causing the mine to be so damaged that he can't even afford the wages of the miners.
After Qin Ming came to the mine, he found that the entire mine was deserted, and there was not even a person.
On weekdays, there are naturally people on night duty in the mine, but now that the wages are unpaid, who will continue to work stupidly?
When he walked to the place where he lived, Qin Ming could only smile bitterly.
It turned out that the door of Qin Ming's residence had already been smashed open, and the valuable things in the room had almost been swept away, leaving only a bare bed.
"Unlucky ghost, you're really miserable, people have raided your house on both sides. ”
Qin Ming sighed, not saving face for the unlucky bastard at all.
Although the unlucky Qin Ming has worked hard to practice martial arts since his father's death and managed the mine with his heart, the mine has been going downhill, and even the wages of the workers cannot be paid.
Fortunately, there was still a bucket left in the house, Qin Ming fetched a bucket of water from the well outside the door, took a bath, washed off the mud on his body, and then changed into clean clothes, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ming boarded the mine, saw that there was no one around, and casually found an abandoned mine cave and walked in.
Qin Ming couldn't be more familiar with this mine, even at night, he wouldn't be afraid of getting lost.
"Star Spirit!"
Qin Ming stretched out his finger and silently recited the name of the star spirit in his heart.
"Commander, what are your orders?"
The ring on Qin Ming's hand glowed with silver light, responding to his call.
"Scan the energy reserves of the ore belt here. ”
At present, Qin Ming's most urgent need is energy, and searching for Chiyang Stone has naturally become his number one target.
If you don't have the Chiyang Stone, let alone repair the spaceship, even if you use the Void Spirit Knife, it will be a problem.
When he was in the Qin family's old mansion before, Qin Ming's slash at Qin Heng seemed to be majestic, but it used enough energy, that is, a full ten Chiyang stones, which made Qin Ming feel distressed for a long time.
This Void Spirit Knife is a thing that eats energy, if it weren't for the life-and-death crisis, Qin Ming would really be reluctant to use the Void Spirit Knife.
"Report to the Commander, I don't have enough energy to perform a high-power scan, and I can only scan a five-square-meter radius at most. The Star Spirit replied coldly.
Without the support of the high-power radar of the Titan Star Fortress, the star spirit was almost like a blind man, and this answer was already in Qin Ming's reaction.
Qin Ming's face remained unchanged, he stretched out his hand, pointed to the pile of slag piled up in the mine, and ordered, "Star Spirit, scan these slags." ”
The star spirit received the order, and the light of the ring suddenly lit up, sending out a green curtain of light that swept over the pile of slag on the ground.
After a while, the star spirit reminded twice: "Discover the energy reaction, and the energy content is 0." 02 degrees per cubic meter. ”
"Sure enough, there is some energy in these slags!"
Hearing the scanning prompt of the Star Spirit, Qin Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
As the top technology of the Federation, the Titan Astral Fortress is equipped with the most advanced standards and has many powerful functions, but because the rescue pod and the main ship of the Astral Fortress have entered a dormant state, most of the functions cannot be used.
However, when Qin Ming was inspecting the life-saving cabin before, he found that the energy furnace of the life-saving cabin was still usable.
This energy furnace is part of the emergency energy system of the power system of the rescue chamber, and as long as you add something containing energy to it, the energy can be purified and used by the warship.
Qin Ming has been thinking, since Chiyang Stone contains energy, then the slag mined with Chiyang Stone should also contain some energy, through the energy furnace, purify the slag containing energy, and these slags can be purified into energy!
The slag of these spirit stone mines abounds in the veins, although they still have some function, but they are difficult to transport, and the value is less than one percent of the spirit stones, so they are piled up in piles of mines and no one transports them out at all.
But if it can be purified with the Energy Furnace, then it can turn these spirit stone slags into treasures!
Although the energy of these slags is far less than that of Chiyang Stone, it is better than the quantity!
After years of mining, the scale of the Qin family's mine is not small, covering an area of hundreds of acres, and after purifying the slag of this entire mine, it should be a large number.
Qin Ming took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to aim at the pile of spirit stone slag beside him, and activated the raw material ingestion command of the energy furnace.
"Start Energy Purification!"
I saw that the ring on his hand projected a silver light and hit the pile of spirit stone slag beside him, and this pile of slag slowly rose into the air and was ingested into Qin Ming's energy furnace.
Suddenly, the energy furnace began to run rapidly, Qin Ming only felt that the ring on his hand vibrated slightly, and the light became more and more intense!
About half an hour or so, the light of Qin Ming's palm imprint flashed, and five shiny stones were immediately spit out, which were the Chiyang stones purified and synthesized by the energy furnace!
"It's done!"
Qin Ming suddenly exclaimed.
At this time, the voice also sounded: "The energy purification is successful, and the total energy index is 0." 52 degrees. ”
The Qin family has been mining spirit stones all year round, Qin Ming is naturally very familiar with them, and with just one glance, he can be sure that this Chiyang stone is full of vitality, and it can definitely be the top grade in the spirit stone!
Qin Ming couldn't wait to laugh a few times in his heart, although 0. The energy of 52 degrees sounds a bit pitiful, but it can't stand the fact that there is a lot of slag in this mine.
Moreover, Qin Ming also felt that the purification just now also benefited him a lot, and these energies seemed to have swam around his body through the ring, making the true element in his body actually increase slightly.
Although the improvement of the true yuan is only a trace, it is not as good as cultivating with spirit stones, but it is definitely better than your hard meditation and cultivation.
When refining Lin Jing's Chiyang Stone before, Qin Ming had already felt that by purifying the energy through the energy furnace of the rescue cabin, the true element in his body could also be improved. It's just that the number of Chiyang stones was too small at that time, and Qin Ming didn't dare to be sure.
"This energy furnace is really amazing, could it be that as long as I keep purifying, not only can I improve my cultivation without consuming Chiyang Stone, but I can also make a fortune by the way?"
Qin Ming was immediately overjoyed, when the Qin family was at its peak before, Qin Ming used Chiyang Stone to cultivate as if he was burning money, but now that the Qin family is in the middle of the road, he naturally has to weigh it when he cultivates with Chiyang Stone.
But after having the energy flood furnace, Qin Ming had a huge advantage that others could not reach!
In the following time, Qin Ming almost hid in the mine, specifically looking for slag purification. When you see a mine, you will drill into it, if you are hungry, you will eat some dry food, and when you are thirsty, you will drink the spring water that seeps out of the mine.
In this short period of one night, Qin Ming has been frantically using slag to purify the spirit stone slag, and with Qin Ming's unremitting efforts, the Chiyang stones piled up in the Astral Key dimensional space are now about to become a small mountain.
Qin Ming counted roughly. More than four hundred spirit stones have been accumulated, which is more than ten times faster than the mining speed of the Qin family's ore veins!
It's a pity that at present, due to the low charge level of this energy furnace, it can only purify the spirit stone slag into Chiyang Stone, and cannot purify Chiyang Stone to a higher level, but this has already made Qin Ming very satisfied.
Finally, when Qin Ming refined to more than seven hundred spirit stones, Qin Ming felt that the true yuan in his body had accumulated to a critical point, and the true yuan surging in his body suddenly shook!
"Hey, this is a sign that you are going to enter from the early stage of the fifth layer of body refining to the late stage of the fifth layer of body refining!"
Qin Ming's heart moved, he took out a piece of Chiyang Stone from the dimensional space, and slowly absorbed the energy in the spirit stone, anyway, now that he has mastered the technique of refining the spirit stone, he is not distressed to use this spirit stone.
After a long time, Qin Ming suddenly let go of his hand, and the spirit stone that had exhausted his spiritual power fell to the ground with a clatter, shattering into several pieces.
Qin Ming only felt that his whole body was full of True Yuan, his eyes were much sharper than before, and his strength seemed to be endless, as if he wanted to find a place to vent, this was exactly the performance of stepping into the late stage of the fifth stage of body refining!
It's a pity that the fly in the ointment is that it seems that because of stepping into the late stage of the fifth layer of refining body, the cultivation of refining spirit stone slag has lost its effect, even if it purifies more spirit stone slag or even Chiyang stone, it will not be able to improve his true yuan.
Qin Ming was slightly regretful, and said, "My current cultivation seems to have reached a bottleneck, and I have to think of other ways to improve my cultivation." ”
In the course of this night, Qin Ming swept away all the slag in the cave, not only raising his cultivation to the fifth level of body refining, but also making more than seven hundred shiny Chiyang stones in his dimensional space.
"Qin Heng, you wait for me, if I don't use the Void Spirit Knife, I can beat you to my feet even if I don't use the Void Spirit Knife!"
Qin Ming snorted coldly and strode out of the door of this abandoned mine, just as he was enjoying the sunshine he had not seen for a long time, he heard a noisy sound coming from the foot of the mine.
Qin Ming is now a martial artist at the fifth level of body refining, his eyes are much sharper than before, looking down from the mountain, he only sees a group of people surrounded by black pressure, it seems that a conflict has broken out, and he doesn't know what big things have happened!
"What's going on?"
This mine is Qin Ming's lifeblood, and the hope of repairing the life-saving capsule almost all falls on this mine. Without mines, there is no energy.
As long as the mine can continuously mine the slag of Chiyang Stone and Chiyang Stone, Qin Ming will be able to muster enough energy to rebuild the rescue capsule.
At this juncture, how could Qin Ming allow any mistakes in the mine?
Qin Ming frowned and walked quickly down the mountain.
