When Qu Jianlei slipped away from Banxing Island, he had nearly seven million energy blocks on his body.

Then he buried more than 200,000 energy blocks in the Sky Hook, leaving 6.5 million on his body.

Coming out of the Star Thief's lair and arriving at the Abandoned Minerals Astral, it cost almost a million - two warships, after all.

This is the star thief's lair with a small gravitational force, and he still tries to save it, and there is no jump and no battle, and the consumption is not large.

After coming here, he renovated his residence and warship, and used up more than two million energy blocks, and now there are only more than three million left.

Having a warship is indeed imposing, but the cost is too great. The remaining energy block is about enough for a short jump, plus a small battle.

Qu Jianlei is reluctant to take advantage of it, but in the society of the empire, it is really cannibalistic!

Xiaohu maintained a relatively simple original intention, "robbery...... Is it appropriate?"

Qu Jianlei had already done a good job of psychological construction, and replied disapprerovingly, "The star thieves can go, and I can go too."

Xiaohu said softly, "I feel that you will bring bad friends by doing this."

Qu Jianlei sighed, "But I want to live, is this wrong? Don't worry, let's rob the rich guy!"

In fact, there was no need to do too much psychological construction, and after building the Spirit Gathering Array, he had clearly realized that he was running all the way on the road of being "wanted" and could never turn back.

It's just that after a thunderstorm, he was blocked by a number of supreme warships, you must know that he still had supreme helpers at that time.

So, the Gathering Spirit Array, a formation that can provide "alien energy", at least doesn't it lead to the two supremes?

Therefore, weakness is the original sin, and Jindan is still not strong enough, let alone able to compete with large and medium-sized warships.

Qu Jianlei believed that even if he hid on the habitable star, the empire would not mind dispatching large warships for the sake of gathering the spirit array.

As for saying that an attack by a warship could injure civilians by mistake? That's a mistake.

Take a look at the garbage star, take a look at the Shenwen Society, and then take a look at the rules of "studying the Shenwen to punish the clan.....

Everything proves that as long as there are enough interests, the empire does not care about human life at all.

You've all done this, so what's wrong with me robbing to survive?

After another twenty days, the modification of the battleship was initially completed, and the number of energy blocks had dropped to two million and eight million.

"Let's go," Qu Jianlei rode the "High Imitation Warship" and quietly left the star.

The battleship carried all the remaining energy blocks, and he was pushing himself.

is about to go bankrupt, and survival will become a problem, and he really has no way out.

Xiaohu was a little worried, "If there is a big fight, this energy block may not be enough."

The battleship travels normally in space, and the energy consumed will not be very large, but in the event of a battle, it may be astronomical.

It's not just "when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels", when the attack is issued, the cost is actually roughly estimated.

But defense is a bottomless pit, and as long as the energy shield is not destroyed, it will consume a lot of energy blocks at all times.

Therefore, the best defense is to attack, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "Then it depends on your level, this time you can only succeed."

"I'm still a little nervous," Xiaohu said nervously, but a little eager to try, "It's the first time I've used a battleship."

Before that, it had been watching Qu Jianlei fight, and even hibernate directly.

As an artificial intelligence, it doesn't have much desire to fight, but it has not been able to help, and it is inevitably lost.

Isn't it supposed that AI is supposed to help users solve problems?

This time it's its turn to be the main output, and when you think about this, the main control system is a little hot.

Qu Jianlei comforted it loudly, "Don't think about it so much, don't be soft..... Just try to avoid people."

Robbery inevitably hurts, but for artificial intelligence, it is something close to breaking the bottom line.

Once an AI kills someone, even if it is for the purpose of protecting the owner, it will become different.

Qu Jianlei really pays attention to Xiaohu's mental health, even if it is a robbery, he is not willing to let it hurt people.

"I'll do the murder, you have to ensure your innocence."

The big-headed butterfly replied, "My innocence has long been ruined by you, even if I killed Tie Ling, I am more mature than you think."

You tell me about maturity? Qu Jianlei was also speechless, "I didn't expect that you could still count Tie Ling's killing on yourself."

"It's just a star thief, and if you kill it, you will kill it," Xiaohu's mood was not heavy, "We are also killing the rich and unkind people this time!"

Qu Jianlei listened a little helplessly, I also wanted to rob the cargo starship, but ..... Energy blocks are not allowed!

It is taboo to rob a passenger starship, and he is not willing to rob it from passengers.

Cargo Starship ..... The worthless ones are not worth grabbing, and the ones with high value are likely to encounter escort warships, which is very difficult.

Qu Jianlei still doesn't want to be too depraved, just like "Although I have tattoos, smoke, drink and swear, I'm a good girl."

So the object of his robbery was the mineral objects of the asteroid belt.

This is a bit taboo, after all, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, but ..... This rabbit is starving to death, okay?

At present, the mining of mineral celestial bodies is carried out by the great forces and their subordinates.

It is basically impossible for any large force, no matter what industry it is, to say that there is no original sin in it.

In the process of development and growth, no one can be smooth sailing.

The weak can't protect their own interests at all, and at least there will be half-black and white things happening.

Not to mention the various consortia behind these big forces, there is no dirtiest, only dirtier.

This kind of bone is actually not easy to gnaw, and there is a fleet to protect the mines, which is likely to pay a considerable price.

But Qu Jianlei can't manage so much, after all, the mineral star is there, which is more convenient than squatting on a passenger or cargo starship.

This time, he was eyeing an asteroid called Iron Filings, which was more than 2,000 kilometers in diameter.

The asteroid is dominated by iron ore, which is called iron filings, but it is actually rich in a variety of minerals.

The mining rights of this astral body belong to a mining group called "Titan".

The group spans multiple star fields, and the mining industry in the entire empire is also ranked first, mainly iron ore.

Behind the Titans, there is also the support of two large consortia, which are very profitable.

In addition to iron, the asteroid mainly has vanadium and titanium, which are very useful metals, and the key is that they are very high.

The specific gravity of this star is so large that it has an atmosphere, but the environment is quite harsh.

The perennial temperature is below minus 100 degrees, and the maximum temperature is minus 60 or 70 degrees.

Such an environment makes it a bit difficult to mine, but the content is too high.

Because of the valuable associated mines, the Titan Group built a rough refinery on the planet.

Iron ore is not a rare ore in this universe, it is a commodity.

But again, a bonanza is stronger than anything else, and commodities are won by volume.

The reason why Qu Jianlei chose here is mainly for three reasons.

The first is that the environment here is harsh, and the stealth function of the battleship can play a great role.

The second is that there is a smelter here, and there will be no shortage of energy blocks.

The third is an extension of the first reason, the harsh environment has blocked many pretenders, and the protection here is not strong.

In the final analysis, commodities are a natural barrier, and without a strong enough channel, it doesn't make much sense to eat here.

Even if you grab the astral body, the mined ore can't be sold, what's the picture?

So the ore protection force here is not very strong, and it is mainly a defensive hand

The segment is a near-ground return fire, and the forces of the space fleet are weak.

The gains and losses of the mineral stars mainly depend on the overall game, and the profitability depends on cost control.

For Qu Jianlei, this place is very suitable, and there is really no pressure to grab a handful and leave.

Or do you want to say that robbers are popular to step on points before robbery? The Star Thief is also very accurate in choosing targets, and will not mess around.

It took a day and a half for the iron filings to appear.

Xiaohu turned on the stealth function to the upper limit, and the battleship quietly approached the celestial body like a ghost and entered the storm.

"The storm is so strong right now," it muttered softly, "It feels like it's going to catch up with the seventeenth level of the Blue Star......."

"You said that such a small star can have such a strong wind and not escape gravity?"

Qu Jianlei replied casually, "You just think of it as a white dwarf, don't you look at the surrounding stars?"

Xiaohu muttered in a low voice, "I always feel that maybe the information we get may not be accurate."

Qu Jianlei was speechless, this possibility really exists objectively, after all, his information came from the star thief.

But can these big forces tell the Star Thieves the true situation? It's really hard to say.

But the next moment, he said, "According to the plan, look for Tiankeng No. 3, and it is best to locate the smelter."

Intelligence suggests that Tiankeng No. 3 is a recently mined vein, and the nearby smelter is some years old.

It is not surprising that when the Titan Group was building the smelter, it took into account the direction of mining in the next step.

This kind of bad weather is also a great challenge for military warships with super performance.

It took almost an hour for Xiaohu to finally lock on the direction, "It's a mistake, but the smelter is really big."

After another ten minutes, a voice came over the intercom.

"Starship with the number 3344, starship with the number 3344, please identify yourself, please identify yourself."

Sure enough, this stealth ability is still a bit poor, and there is some room for improvement.

"Stop moving, stop moving, otherwise we will take the necessary measures, or we will take the necessary measures."

I'm going to be discovered? Qu Jianlei sighed secretly, it seems that the stealth function needs to be improved.

He also turned on the microphone, "Be honest, call ..... Huh?" Having approached the location, he found that several warships were attacking the defensive fortress on the ground.

The dazzling light cannot be stopped by the wind.

The wind was too strong to see very clearly, but there was no doubt that both the smelter and the mine were under attack.

"It's ...... Someone found a soft persimmon, did you strike first?"
