As the distance gets closer and closer, the killing effect of the Ming Empire's spaceship on these cosmic creatures will become greater and greater, after all, the closer the distance is, the easier it is to lock, so the killing effect of these cosmic creatures is naturally getting better and better.

"All kinds of energy cannons are ready to be fired!" As the distance gets closer and closer, finally these cosmic creatures are within the range of the spacecraft energy cannon, for these cosmic creatures, there is no unusual emotion for slaughtering all the people in the memory of these cosmic creatures, after all, it is very normal for the universe to eat flesh and blood, not to mention that these cosmic creatures are actually beasts living in the universe, or beasts without intelligence, so in the end, although they are not military personnel, they still have no burden.

As the energy energy weapons in the fleet fired, the firepower in the fleet suddenly became extremely powerful, and it was not something that these cosmic creatures could shake at all.

Even if there are no military spaceships in their fleet, they still have a one-sided slaughter of these space creatures.

After all, these cosmic creatures are not intelligent cosmic creatures who act on instinct, so even if there is a situation of unilateral slaughter at this time, they have no intention of retreating a little, if it is a smart civilization, they would have retreated a long time ago in such a situation, where is it possible to be like these cosmic creatures, the greater the loss, the more violent their hearts become, and they have completely drowned their reason at this time.

Not long after the exchange of fire between the fleet and these cosmic creatures, these cosmic creatures were completely annihilated by their four spaceships, and even captured two cosmic creatures alive, these two cosmic creatures they were ready to bring back to the Ming Empire and sell them to the Ming Imperial Academy of Sciences for the most advanced cosmic battlecruiser in the Ming Empire.

"Send an unmanned mineral exploration vehicle to explore nearby meteorites and asteroids, after all, so many cosmic creatures live here, then the minerals here must be very rich, and it is very likely that there will be some precious minerals." When their war with these cosmic creatures was over, Zhang Lao Er immediately ordered the fleet.

"Okay second brother!" Subsequently, the fleet sent a large number of probes to carry out large-scale exploration of the entire 0.5 light-year range, especially the meteorite accumulation zone.

"Metal No. 210 was found, the preciousness was F, the No. 223 metal was found, the preciousness was D, the No. 396 metal was found, the preciousness was A........." As the probe sent back one data after another, the four brothers were surprised to find that several precious minerals had been discovered within this inconspicuous 0.5 light years, and even A-grade metal minerals had been discovered, which was something they had never dared to imagine.

After all, it can be classified as an A-level precious mineral by the Ming Empire, so the degree of cherishment of this mineral must be very high, even if it is the entire galaxy, there are not many mines like this, of course, there are S-level and S-level above the A-level and the highest level of 3S-level.

"Second brother, we sent it, now we really sent it, and we actually found an A-level mine, a C-level mine and several F-grade mines, this time we are really worth the trip, as long as these minerals are developed, the four of us will have the capital to cultivate in the future." Zhang Laosan said to the second child next to him while browsing the data.

At this time, Zhang Lao Er was also a little excited, but he was not as exaggerated as the third child, after all, although A-grade metal was discovered, he didn't know how much A-grade metal reserves were here, not to mention that he had just begun to explore this starry sky, and there must be more surprises waiting for them later.

"That's it! All right! Is it necessary for you to be so excited? Our understanding of this starry sky has just begun, you are so happy about these few minerals, if there are minerals here S or above, then it is not going to faint with excitement, and since these mines have been discovered by us, then we must prepare to mine now, after all, only after mining is it really ours, otherwise it is not ours. ”

"Okay, second brother, I'm going to prepare to mine these minerals, after all, as an exploration spaceship, mining minerals is a necessary skill."

"Stop, stop! I said, why are you so angry, it's not too late to explore this starry sky, and no one will rob you! We don't know how many A-grade mines there are in the area, if the number is really large, it is not at all what we can mine directly, not to mention that there are many C-grade and F-grade mines here, don't you want these C-grade and F-grade mines, you must know that although these minerals are much less valuable than A-grade minerals, these are also precious and rare materials, and the use of these minerals is very huge, so we must not give up these minerals.

Therefore, we have to explore all the minerals in this area, and then contact the mineral mining company in the base camp to help us mine, otherwise with our few ships, how much can be mined, even if all of our ships are loaded with rare materials, how much is it worth, you must know that these precious materials that have just been explored are enough to fill hundreds of exploration ships like us.

So what we have to do now is to explore the area in its entirety and fully grasp the distribution of all the rare minerals in this area and the mineral content. ”

"I'm sorry second brother, I'm so excited, you must know that No. 396 metal is too precious, although it is only an A-grade metal, but this metal is used in the manufacture of many weapons, not to mention the warp engine newly developed by the Ming Empire, the demand for this metal is very huge, without this metal The new generation of warp engine of the Ming Empire cannot be produced at all."

While they were talking, the probe found more rare metals, especially one piece of data, even the calm Zhang Lao Er was excited at this time, because they really vented S-class metals in this star field.

Black gold minerals, No. 679 metal, S level of preciousness, although the name of this metal is very ordinary, but this does not affect the importance of this metal to the Ming Empire, because this metal is the metal necessary for the Ming Empire to build a space portal, although the Ming Empire has built a space portal in the earth before, but it is only a small space portal built on the planet.

However, even small spatial portals require black gold metal to build, and black gold metal is also one of the main raw materials for building portals, not to mention large and super-large portals.

Although the Ming Empire has now occupied the Ocean of Light, and the territory of the Ming Empire is already very vast, even if the Ming Empire now has such a huge territory, the Ming Empire still does not have all the materials to build a portal, and black gold metal is one of them.
