The size of the mining ship is small, but this is only in a relative sense.

The mining ship can accommodate ten mechas, and in addition to the main operation cabin, galley and vanity room, there are many separate cabins, and the area is actually not very small, about three or four hundred square meters.

So if it wants to enter this relatively narrow dark cavern smoothly, it needs to be a little more careful.

If the hull of the ship hits the unstable part of the cavern, thus accidentally causing space-time turbulence, or even attracting the ubiquitous black holes in the universe, then this mining incident will simply become a catastrophe.

The number of black holes in the universe is conservatively estimated to be between a few million and ten million.

As for the reason for the formation of black holes, theoretically, there is a relatively accepted theory that black holes may be formed by the collapse of massive stars after aging.

It's not accurate to say it's a black hole, it's a sphere.

Just because of its large mass, small size, and strong suction, all objects in its vicinity will be captured by its strong gravitational pull, and even light cannot escape its gravitational bondage.

Because there is no light, it looks like a narrow, bottomless black hole, hence the name black hole.

If black holes are really formed after the aging of stars, then the number of black holes in the universe will continue to increase.

In the unstable structure of this asteroid belt, black holes can be triggered at any time due to space-time turbulence, so all mining ships in the channel consciously maintain a low speed and steady state to sail.

Tao Xinyan's driving skills were praised by Ye Shen, so she drove it herself this time. The mining ship navigated the cave smoothly, even if it was only a small distance, but it took nearly an hour.

After the mining ship entered smoothly, Yun Qiguang and Shen Letian both breathed a sigh of relief.

If they hadn't discovered a large area of precious astral crystal veins here, they wouldn't have risked letting the mining ship go so deep.

After the mining ship came to a stop, the hatch opened, and Tao Xinyan and the other team members walked out wearing mechs and carrying many electronic instruments.

Her mechs and multiplayer nodded, and began to lay out the defensive grid.

This kind of defense power grid relies on various electronic equipment, and after being laid, it can temporarily play a role in stabilizing time and space in a small area.

After laying out the defensive power grid, she directly took these team members to guard several key connection positions, and if there was an abnormality, it would be repaired in time.

Everything was ready, Yun Qiguang and Shen Letian entered the inside of the mining ship, and after getting out of the mecha, they began to carry out mining operations on the operation screen of the mining ship.

When it comes to the specific operation of mining, in today's interstellar era of bursting technology, it is extremely simple and dangerous.

First, a huge drill bit poked out of the belly of the mining ship, delineated a specific cutting area along the star crystal vein, and after cutting, the probe was retracted. The magnetic adsorption device is then released, and the star crystal is sucked into it at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the adsorption is completed, the detector is used to reach deep into the ore vein, and the detector uploads back the detection image after more than 20 seconds.

The internal light curtain showed the scene in the depths of the ore vein, and sure enough, there were many scattered star crystals in the depths.

When Shen Lotian saw this image, he couldn't help frowning.

Ore like this is scattered radially deep into the veins and is not easy to mine.

Yun Qiguang only smiled slightly, and then tapped his finger on the operation light screen.

Once again, the mining vessel poked out the probe, and this time the operation required deep technical support. How to effectively and accurately cut according to the images transmitted by the detector without touching the various breakpoints of the vein wall without touching the collapse in the case of blind operation, has always been a difficult problem for professional miners in the mining industry to solve.

However, Ye Shen has focused on training them in this area before, and now their hands-on skills are comparable to those of the top professional mining personnel.

As for blind exercises, please don't forget that Yun Qiguang has a plug-in.

His left eye is obliquely above the detector, so he is not blind.

As long as his practical skills are excellent, everything will be solved.

Therefore, this time he did not let Shen Letian do it again, but controlled the probe alone.

With the support of the system, it didn't take long for him to complete the operation.

Shen Letian stretched out his thumb, and his eyes shone with admiration.

Yun Qiguang smiled shyly, I am afraid that this child has deified and demonized himself in his heart again.

The next step is to release a magnetic adsorption device and probe deep into the vein.

With the previous foundation, this step is much easier.

Yun Qiguang passed through the light curtain obliquely above his left eye, and only then did he withdraw the device until he was sure that not a single star crystal had been missed.

So far, the ore vein excavation has been successfully completed.

After tearing down the defensive grid, they left the cave.

Out of the cave, they chose a channel not far away, and the mining ship sailed automatically. They gathered around and looked at the freshly mined star crystals.

Even though they were all children of a big family, they had never seen so many star crystals at one time.

After some tidying up, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that they had actually dug up more than 20,000 star crystals, and they all cheered loudly.

Yun Qiguang frowned, these gains were all earned by their hard work, plus the help of the system and the girl. Let him give half of the mine manager for nothing, how can he not be reconciled.

"Boss, why are you hiding alone in the cabin with a sad face?"

Shen Letian didn't knock on the door, and walked directly into his cabin.

"Lotte, I'm not willing to give 10,000 star crystals to the mining area, do you have any way."

"I'll go, if you don't say it, I'll forget that there is still this stubble."

Shen Letian sighed when he heard this, of course he didn't want to give up Xingjing, but what could he do?

Yun Qiguang pulled out the system, looking at the options that appeared to be gray, one of which was that a certain number of items could be stored.

It's a pity that these can only be unlocked after he has entered the intermediate level of cultivation.

Even if they have already harvested the Spirit Plant Fruit, they not only need it when they break through the ranks, but they also need a stable environment and a high-level cultivator to help them in order to succeed.

Now that they are in the mining area, it is definitely not a stable environment, and Ye Shen has not come with them, so it is naturally impossible to break the ranks.

Forget it, let's talk about it then.

Yun Qiguang patted Shen Letian on the shoulder and asked him not to tell Tao Xinyan about it, lest she worry about it.

The mining ship continued on its way, and there were still a few system-generated green origins, and they had already spent three days and two nights in it, leaving them with little time left.

At night, the mining area is even quieter, and the mining ship arrives near the location marked by the next green dot.
