Chapter 20: Meteorites Drifting
The outer space transport ship is like a laying hen, throwing the soldiers of the defensive circle on a high orbit one by one. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info soldiers are very far away from each other, and they can't see each other at all. The range that their eyes can reach, but they cross each other, which not only ensures that there are no dead ends in the vigilance, but also saves a lot of troops.
Every soldier was heavily armed.
A lightweight pseudo-rune protective suit that guarantees that ordinary people can survive in a vacuum.
The high-orbit flight wheel, which is also a pseudo-rune, helps maintain the orbit of the soldiers, allowing them to quickly advance over short distances, while creating a strong gravitational attraction on the soldiers, so that people will not float away.
At the same time, the roulette wheel can also create a short-term enclosed energy shield space, where the soldier can remove the protective suit and solve the problem of eating, drinking, and lazing.
The energy shield cannot be maintained for a long time, and the soldier spends most of his time wearing protective clothing and being exposed to a vacuum.
As a soldier, of course, you can't do without weapons.
The most basic broadsword, as well as a bow, is indispensable for the Communication Stone.
As the rotating soldiers of the first defense circle, they are actually cannon fodder. Once an enemy appears, they are the first to be dealt with. There is not much ability to protect oneself, and it only serves as an alarm.
Zhang Yi did not have the consciousness of being a soldier, nor did he think that he would become cannon fodder. So he was very laid-back, and after being thrown into space, he lay on the spot. The roulette wheel is too small, and the two legs hang out and swing. Other than that, it's generally quite comfortable. I also brought my own pillows.
From now on, he will follow Mercury around the star and always stand guard next to Mercury.
Lie down and take out a thick book. The title of the book is "Natural History".
This is the only effort made by the military department to take care of the mentality of the soldiers - to distribute a copy of the doctrine to each person, or a condensed version.
The real doctrine is a brilliant tome, and the content is dozens of times more, and there is no need for the soldiers at the bottom to read through them all.
The loneliness of being alone in the starry sky is the soldier's worst enemy. Zhang Yi doesn't care, since he came to this world, loneliness has been a constant companion. It's nothing more than a lonely location.
Now, being able to wander in the starry sky is fun and new.
Time passes rapidly day by day.
Zhang Yi has a good life. Because I found something new to do.
He was using a carving pen to carve runes into an arrow.
The issuance of pseudo-rune arrows, the military department is not stingy, as long as you can fit it, you can give as much as you want. So Zhang Yi moved a lot, there were 300 roots.
Because arrows can be used to practice refining weapons. Free practice materials, don't take it for nothing.
"This one, Flashing Arrow." Another arrow is complete.
Erased the simplified version of the craftsman's runes, and Zhang Yi re-engraved the dense true runes on it. Because the arrows have already taken shape, only the simplest single-layer recording can now be done.
He's already done thirty or forty roots, and he's getting more and more comfortable. Prepare to finish all the arrows in the bracelet.
Zhang Yi, who was focusing on the arrow in front of him, felt a shadow loom over him.
He looked up and saw a huge meteorite approaching.
A meteorite with a diameter of almost a kilometer. If it were ten times larger, it would be called an asteroid.
If it is successfully captured by Mercury and makes a stable circumferential revolution, then it is a new moon.
However, if it falls into Mercury's atmosphere, it is a giant meteor that is burned up by friction with a bang.
Zhang Yi raised his hand and shot an arrow over to test his power. The arrow has been modified to be a true rune weapon, and there is no unexpected increase in power.
A hundred meters away, the surface of the meteorite burst out with a dazzling light. After the explosion, a large hole was opened in the surface of the meteorite, revealing a metallic luster inside. It's amazing.
Zhang Yi manipulated the roulette wheel to lean over. Take a closer look at the place where it was blown up.
"Well, that's ...... I don't know. ”
It's metal, yes, it has an energy reaction and can be used as a refiner. Zhang Yi had a smile on his face.
Nothing to say, draw your sword and slash. Dig it out.
I didn't expect that I could encounter such a good thing while standing guard.
The broadsword was used as a hammer, smashing the outer shell of the meteorite. until no more metal is exposed.
Then, the metal needs to be divided into small pieces and taken out to make it easy to carry. Otherwise, such a large piece will have an irregular shape, and the bracelet will not fit.
Cut hard refining metal, and use it in real style.
Energy transmission, the edge of the broadsword looms, and the astonishing sharp blue light is excited. Slash down.
There was a thud, the metal intact, and the broadsword broke in two.
"Inferior!" He casually lost the broken sword and pulled out the straight-backed knife that he hadn't used for a long time. The blue light flashed, and the straight-backed knife easily slashed in again and again. It didn't take long to cut it all. The neat pieces of metal were happily put away by Zhang Yi. The total amount is not less than ten cubic meters.
The whole meteorite, and it's huge. The forgings dug up are only a trivial point. I can't tell if there will be more hidden in other locations.
It doesn't matter, being idle is also idle. Smash all the meteorites together, don't you know?
For the next time, the knife flashed. The fist is flying. Each knife goes down several feet deep.
Meteorites are cut piece by piece, slightly larger pieces, and can be punched into powder.
The huge meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer, under the violent destruction of Zhang Yi, was full of craters and dust.
The destructive power displayed was obviously beyond the level that a Realm Cultivator should have.
The huge meteorite, over time, was flattened layer by layer in the blow of never tireless.
In the process, there is another harvest.
It's the same black material, but not in much quantity and looks like it's of higher quality, because it's more thoroughly blackened and seems to be concentrate.
Zhang Yi has just come into contact with refiners, and he is not familiar with raw materials, so he only has a shallow understanding. Anyway, it's the metal of the refiner.
After continuing for a while, there were no new discoveries, and Zhang Yi decided to stop there. His space bracelet is almost full, and even if he finds it again, it will be wasted, so it is better to give up.
There is dust stirring up everywhere around, and you can't see the environment clearly. So he manipulated the roulette wheel and flew along the edge of the meteorite in one direction. Get out of this dusty area first, then find the direction and find the position of the post.
***
On the back side of the meteorite, a medium-sized spaceship is moving slowly. On the outer wall of the circular hull, there is a nebula logo. If you look closely, you can recognize it as the standard perspective of the constellation Sirius.
There were more than forty people in the spaceship, and their mission was to rob the Star Sect's supplies. Hidden behind the meteorite, slowly approaching Mercury's near-Earth orbit.
According to prior estimates, the meteorite's orbit passed exactly over Mercury, and at the last time, it was only 200,000 kilometers. This is a very dangerous distance and can be easily spotted on the ground. But it is also a distance that can be rich in harvests.
There is a serious shortage of materials in the major bases in the rear, and it is difficult to supply on the territory of the Star Sect. If they don't take action, they won't be exterminated by the Star Sect, they will all starve to death, so they have to take risks.
This time there was not just a team of 40 people. There are other ships operating in secret, and how many are involved is known only to the higher-ups.
On the other side of the meteorite, Zhang Yi's movement was not discovered at the first time.
There is no medium in space, and no loud vibration can be heard.
It wasn't until a large amount of dust drifted out from behind the meteorite that the rebels on the ship were alarmed. So, they started the flying machine and slowly popped up to see what was going on over there.
As a result, the spaceship and Zhang Yi emerged from both sides of the meteorite at the same time.
Both sides were caught off guard by the other. Everything was too sudden.
