Chapter 53: The Harvest

This is a chaotic galaxy, and the rays emitted by stars and other radioactive elements are intertwined, making the cosmic environment of this starry sky very dangerous and complex. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf a battleship without an energy shield stays in it, it won't be long before the ship's hull will be corroded away. However, the intelligent creatures in the battleship will not be able to see this, because before that, all intelligent beings will die. The highly penetrating rays will break up the genetic material in the cells of the organism, DNA, into short fragments, and then all the cells around the body will die, and the whole organism will be like a piece of charred bacon.

The fleet's industrial ships have been staying in this place for a day, and the exploration fleet has repeatedly and carefully scanned this small galaxy, this star field is simply a huge radioactive source, but because the nebula is too thick, the fleet cannot find it in the distance. Even so, the emitted rays bombarded the hydrogen, helium, and interstellar dust in the nebula, making the nebula exude brilliant colors, which are very fascinating and dangerous.

After exploration, it was found that the reserves of various precious elements in this star field were very rich, and this was the area with the highest concentration of precious elements and the largest reserves encountered in the departure of the fleet. There are even some precious elements that have never been discovered by the fleet, and are only recorded in the database of the Galactic Alliance, and even the stock of the Galactic Alliance is very limited. For example, one of the elements, TRB394-51, is very rich in stock. This elemental galactic alliance has only been discovered in a small amount, and it has not been able to find a large number of minerals for development. The role of this element is huge, and it is a catalyst for the production of large quantities of hair substances.

During the Earth period, it was found that in the Hadron Collider, two particle beams collided with each other to produce antimatter, and any matter has antimatter, but it is too difficult to produce antimatter, and the yield is too low, even if the civilization level is developed to level six, this problem is not solved. Even if the reactor with antimatter as the energy source has been designed and manufactured, it has been proved that the output efficiency of the antimatter reactor is much higher than that of the fusion reactor and the hedron reactor, but the vast majority of the fifth-level civilization still uses the cold giant reactor, and the sixth-level civilization still uses the energy hedron reactor, the reason is that it fails to solve the problem of large-scale preparation of antimatter. The main reactor currently used by the fleet is also only a crystal reactor. However, the energy crystals of the fleet are all high-level energy synthesized through the energy trees of the seventh-level civilization, the cost is very low, and the output power is also large, which is basically not much worse than the antimatter reactor. However, the destructive power of the antimatter cannon is much greater than that of the energy cannon, and if the fleet can be modified with antimatter cannons and antimatter guns, the combat effectiveness of the fleet will increase exponentially.

In the process of preparing antimatter, a small amount of TRB394-51 element is added, and the reaction can be carried out in large quantities and rapidly, which not only improves the yield but also reduces the cost. If the fleet can mine all the TRB394-51 elements in this star system, it will not be bothered by the problem of antimatter resources for a long time.

A large number of mining ships shuttle through the star system, and a gold-swallowing vine seed will be planted when each vein passes, and it won't be long before the entire asteroid will be wrapped in lush swallowing vines, and all the metals will be stored by the gold-swallowing vines, and when all the metals are completely swallowed, the gold-swallowing vines will emit an emerald green light, and the fleet will send transport ships to transport the metals to the industrial ships and store them in different categories. The efficiency of the entire operation process is terrifying, and in just three days, all the precious metals in the entire galaxy have been mined, even the associated deposits next to the precious metals have not been spared.

These precious metals are subject to constant decay reactions, so they must be preserved in a suitable way. Generally, metals are stored in the energy field by charging, and these metals are always in a high-energy state, so that the decay of metals can be delayed. Most of the metals are stored in the central warehouse of the Earth, and the particularly valuable metals Chen Peilin are directly stored in the folding space, which is the safest.

After the star system was mined, the industrial ships returned to the formation, and a large number of production lines were set in motion, and all kinds of resources came in and out, and finally converted into cans of antimatter for storage. The conditions are ripe for the production of antimatter, and it is imperative for the fleet to turn resources into strength as soon as possible. Batches of antimatter firearms are constantly being produced and stored in the army's arsenal, while large quantities of antimatter are stored in weapon sticks to make ammunition sticks. Antimatter cannons for small-caliber mechs, medium-caliber, large-caliber, and extra-large caliber antimatter cannons are also being produced and modified for the fleet in situ. Of course, it is impossible to remove the original energy cannon, but to add antimatter cannons on the original basis, antimatter cannons are currently the biggest killer weapon of the fleet in addition to the space cannons on the flagship, and they are generally not used, after all, no one knows when they will encounter the TRB394-51 element again.

While the fleet was busy harvesting precious metals, the Cowboy Squad's Starry Sky Cowboy was flying in a meteorite belt in a star field twenty-five jump points away from the fleet. The Cowboy Squad is already far away from the fleet, and it is already on the edge of this nebula, and it will be possible to jump out of this nebula area with two more jumps. The nebula here is already very thin, and the starry sky outside can be seen very clearly. The Cowboy Squad groped their way out of the fleet, passing through overlapping nebulae, and didn't get much to gain, encountering some clusters of stars clustered together along the way, either yellow dwarfs or red giants, and not finding nascent galaxies like the Bull Squad, and only now did they encounter a large area of meteorites. This meteorite area is so vast that even the probes on the battleship can't find the end, and the cowboy team plans to try their luck in the meteorite belt.

"Spinach, have you heard, those guys from the Bull Squad have gone out of their shit luck, and they have discovered the nascent star system, and now they can make a lot of money." Ding Weijian said while flipping through his personal terminal and looking at the latest information.

"We can't all do good things, we eat meat, others have to drink soup. Just the contribution points obtained from the discovery of those two living planets are enough for us to buy a fifth-level flagship. Zhou Bocai said while eating barbecue. The barbecue comes from the sea beasts caught in the ocean planet, and it occupies the largest place on the battleship, so it can't be finished, and there is no way to use a laser cutter to cut and pack it, and most of it is discarded.

"Are we going to look down? It's all at the edge of the nebula, and thanks to the subspace communicator we installed, otherwise we'd all have to do Star Trek. Ding Weijian said.

"Let's take a look at it again, it's all here anyway, and it won't waste much time to roughly explore the meteorite belt, maybe there will be a discovery." Zhou Bocai thought for a moment and replied.

"Report to the captain, detect a large life signal approaching the battleship, danger level B." Qinna's sweet voice reported, but the report was not so gratifying.

"Large lifeforms? What is it? Hazard Class B? In addition to a small and medium-caliber A-class energy cannon on a battleship, the other largest ones are B-class energy cannons, right? If we come to a danger class A, we won't have to stop cooking. Wang Yang looked at the three-dimensional European shadow of the detector reality and said.

"Report, a large number of life signals are found approaching the battleship, it is expected to meet in thirty minutes, and the combined threat level is A-class, it is recommended to dodge." Chenna reported.

All the team members glared at Wang Fatman: "Crow's mouth!" ”
