Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Digger and the Digger

Since he promised the big guy of Segeris to take care of the business for the construction of the star base, the first thing he did after transferring to MR241 was to go to the star base to sign in.

For the first time in two months, Pan Wen has returned since the player trick-or-treating in the direction of MR241's Segeis Jump Circle.

Nebulae are mixed with a large number of large and small stones and asteroids, and it is not easy to deal with them, so the location of the permanent base of Segeis is set up in the dust region that deviates from the ecliptic plane.

The density of dust here is relatively low, but it still has a great impact on the reconnaissance range of the ship, especially the dust obscures the stars, and there is no asteroid group orbital arc on the ecliptic plane as a reference, so accurate identification of the direction has become a problem. If you don't happen to pass by when you rush in from the dust-free area up and down, the safety level is a little higher than the inside.

After reaching MR241, the Gold determines its position by comparing its surroundings and leaves the ecliptic at a specified angle. After confirming that the asteroid area could not be observed, the identification signal was issued, and the course was maintained for a period of time, and the guidance signal was received.

Following the guidance signal, I adjusted the course twice, and finally arrived at the location of the star base.

"Wow!" "It's huge!"

Even if Pan Wen didn't turn on the internal communication in the bridge control room at this time, he could still hear the exclamations of the girls, and to be honest, he himself was very surprised by Segeis's handwriting.

After seeing Sakura Port, it seems that there should be no man-made structures that can amaze the captain and girls of the Golden Ship, but after all, that thing in Sakura Port is the result of a long time in the Florence Republic. Whether it's Sakura Port or Segeis, although they are both giant man-made structures, they are still formed by the perennial transformation and expansion of natural celestial bodies.

The satellite-based is built out of thin air, and there is no ontology to rely onto, so that in the construction process, various machinery, components, and constituent plates are scattered in a large area, and at first glance it seems that the sky is full of star-based components.

Xingji is a military fortress, and it was built this way when it was being built in a hurry, and to the surprise of Pan Wen and the crew, it was a huge structure that was close to taking shape - it looked like a slightly chubby warship with a length of nearly thirty kilometers, and if it hadn't docked yet, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to figure out what the overall appearance was.

The official Segeis has deceived all the forces, they are not building any permanent star base at all, but building a mobile fortress!

Mobile Fortresses are the same in a sense as star bases, except that Mobile Fortresses can reach a conventional combat speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per second at the necessary moments.

Maybe one day this secret will be shaken out by some guy who eats inside and out, but Segeis probably doesn't worry about tearing it up, they just need to declare that there is no large directional power plant in the star base, is there still someone who wants to die to come to the pirate's territory for inspection? If it is replaced by a warship, it will start to fight directly.

Seeing the star-based framework, Pan Wen felt that it could be regarded as the first real boss that players had to face.

The Moving Fortress does not have the ability to jump in hyperspace like a normal starbase, but it is still an enlarged version of the battleship, and its huge size makes it carry weapons that are definitely not what a normal warship can have. The previous player seems to have experience in attacking the starbase, but it may not be so easy to take out the mobile fortress in the nebula environment outside the MR241 ecliptic plane.

After confirming Pan Wen's identity and the control room of the Golden through video conferencing, the guide ship led the Golden to an unfinished port module.

The port is about three kilometers long and one and a half kilometers wide, with a port on one side, a cargo storage area in the middle, and several layers of densely packed docks on the other side. There are at least three similar port modules scattered around the space, all of which are unfinished, and the one where the Gold docks can already use basic functions, and one is still just a frame.

After docking, a few people came up on the boat, with a small trailer-like equipment, and the guys from the bank came to handle the transaction procedures.

Working in an environment where there is no intergalactic communication is complex, and the bank's dedicated data ship has to enter customer data with transaction needs - there is no way to synchronize in hyperspace, so it can only be done manually.

It's just a routine, and the formalities are done quickly.

After this step is completed, Pan Wen will be able to buy and sell around the data ship as if it were a normal transaction. The transaction confidence will be backed up by the data ship, and transmitted to at least two nearby confidential nodes in real time, and every dozens of hours will be pulled away by a special "messenger" ship to synchronize with the main database, and the ship expenses, data storage, and synchronization costs incurred between them will be paid by the owner of the temporary trading area, so the guy who delivered the letter to Pan Wen before will say that it is "hired".

It doesn't seem very safe to rely only on the data ship and the "messenger" ship, but the existence of the secret node has been locked, and then the person is the Interstellar Union Bank after all, and a single credit rating can kill the guy who doesn't abide by its rules.

One of the confidential nodes that synchronize data in real time will be handed over to the owner of the temporary trading area for protection, and if this goes wrong, the owner will no longer have to think about trading methods other than physical star coins; Other confidential nodes may be placed on the ships of several customers with high credit ratings at any time, and any node returning to an area with cross-galaxy communication capabilities will automatically upload data, and when these data are different from the previously synchronized data, abnormal funds will be frozen.

It is an almost impossible task to erase all transaction records to repay debts, at least the owner of the temporary trading area will never allow problems with the confidential nodes in his hand in order to bring a large number of physical star coins without traveling in the future, otherwise the news of a large amount of physical star coins will be leaked, and he will not go anywhere to be robbed.

Of course, regardless of whether the banking system of the mobile fortress will face the challenge of the mentally ill, Pan Wen does not need to care too much, according to his way of action, the bank will come back to sell garbage at most once in a synchronous cycle, and if someone can completely destroy the data node, he can only lose the money from selling garbage once.

After completing the bank's data entry procedures and meeting with the loot officer, the Golden left the construction area and began to return to the era of hunting and mining.

Mining is a work that requires long-term perseverance, and now with the robots managed by EX01 Doudou, there are no longer people who need to eat and rest in the mining machine, and they are not distressed when they are beaten.

……

When Pan Wen led the Golden to look for prey in MR241, a certain fat insect was moistened again in the distant MR251 Haimer Star Field, on the Haimer Star D21 satellite.

After the catastrophe of the two orbital strikes, the fat worm deeply understood that the problem in front of him was not the human base on the ground that could continue to expand, but the group of demons in the space orbit, and what made him uncomfortable was that he didn't even have any way to deal with the high-tech enemies in the vacuum environment now.

After absorbing the nutrients of nearly 200 humans to avoid the catastrophe of orbital bombardment, the fat worm did not rush to differentiate into pets or battle bugs, and re-selected the earliest scout bugs, using them, he found a weak link in the local insect colony, and used his camouflage color to squirm through it.

Perhaps not weak, the new target area is probably due to the strong seasonality of the water sources, and the native insect colonies in the area are in a relatively primitive state - the fungus blanket and the many small insects that make up the biosphere, and there are few of the smaller ones.

When re-establishing his strength here, the fat worm became very restrained, and the demons in orbit could not monitor every detail of the world around the clock, and this time he carefully controlled the conflict between the bugs to the extent that they could fight with a maximum of three or five people alone.

Although the new development strategy is progressing very slowly, and the experience points are barely moving, it is not possible to face all kinds of challenges from level zero compared to dying and going to a completely unfamiliar place to face various challenges from level zero, at least he has begun to come into contact with the situation outside the atmosphere, which is not something that can be done with a little luck or two.

There are not enough enemies, and naturally there are not enough essences, cannibalizing the territory of the native insects, and the harvest can barely sustain the needs of a few battle insects and burrowing, in this situation, the fat worm still gave birth to a new thing, the lying vegetation that he called a telescope.

The "telescope" looks like nothing more than a large herbaceous plant that differentiates on a blanket of fungi, but in fact it forms a mirror telescope with a large diameter of 300 tiny crystals through the edges of six large leaves spread out on the ground! The intensity of the D21's illumination and the loss of accuracy of the vegetation due to environmental influences make the telescope not suitable for the prefix "astronomical", but it is barely enough to look at things hundreds of meters in the sky above a few hundred kilometers.

For the first time, when he occasionally "looked" at a black spot hundreds of kilometers in the air through a telescope through the special senses of a bug, the fat worm was glad that he had been forced to learn enough.

With the help of the telescope, the fat worm gradually mastered the habits of the orbital fleet, and according to the shape of the things flying over his head every few days, he could probably judge that in addition to the ships that regularly patrol the planet, the orbital fleet is likely to have a bunch of ships in synchronous orbit, which should be above the head of the human base.

Since it was not monitored 24 hours a day, the fat worm gradually became emboldened, and the female appearance pet was once again served, and then began to mobilize air forces to deal with the human air force that might appear in the atmosphere.

The previous big reconnaissance bugs were occasionally used for reconnaissance and were not easy to arouse suspicion, but if they wanted to fight against the high-tech air force, they were still powerless, and the best way to deal with high-tech air forces with living bodies was to commit suicide!

Suicide attacks are antique, and some groups have used them before humans set foot outside the earth.

Although the high-tech air units are also equipped with laser cannons and other things that seem to hit 100%, in the second world, no flying object can completely reject the tremor caused by atmospheric friction, and the hit rate cannot really reach 100%, so there is a chance to take advantage of it. With the same nutrients and essences, creating a flying bug small enough can avoid total annihilation as much as possible when dealing with the Air Force.

What the? Small has no attack power?

What do you want to do with attack power? It would be nice to burst it directly and put the corrosive liquid on it. He is not afraid at all than consuming fat insects, human beings need all kinds of industries, he only needs essence, and there is no nutrient quality to directly evolve suitable insects to convert from the soil, and there are many essences on this planet.

One or two bugs against the human army will definitely not make the climate, and the purpose of the fat worms is not to do something earth-shattering with small bugs, but to throw them into the local insect colony and spread them through their essence!

That's right, since everyone is a bug, and the local bugs retain the biosphere competitive evolution mode, it is normal to have one or two more bugs in it, as for why this bug likes alloys so much...... Well, the world is so big.
