Two hours later, the spacecraft appeared in front of an asteroid that was just over a thousand kilometers in diameter.

The asteroid is located on the edge of the asteroid belt, and its surface is covered with craters of various sizes, and its gravitational pull is smaller than that of a normal asteroid of this size, and it is simply not enough to pull the surrounding meteorites.

It is far away from the main sequence stars of the galaxy, and the temperature is very low, but there is no water vapor on the planet, so naturally there will be no freezing, only a thick layer of dust that has accumulated for an unknown amount of time.

On this asteroid, there are actually three personal bases not far apart.

When Li Qing came to the sky above Yang Yunbo's base, he received a public communication channel from Yang Yunbo, opened it to enter, and a light curtain popped up, divided into six interfaces, each interface had a player, five men and one woman, all waving to him at the same time:

"Welcome Brother Li Qing to settle down in this galaxy!"

He beckoned in surprise:

"Are you all in this together?"

Yang Yunbo shook his head and said:

"It's not together, but it's too far away from the Jinmen galaxy, there are too few people, and it's boring, so everyone communicates and plays together."

The frigate stopped in mid-air and entered the base in a small flying machine of only five meters.

Yang Yunbo's base is also a small base, the main core cabin is the same as his, but he has twenty or thirty auxiliary cabins here, the outside is full of raw ore, and the waste materials in the distance are piled up, which has expanded to a certain scale, and the bases of the two players nearby are about the same size.

The aircraft entered the main core cabin door, and after routine disinfection and inspection, the hatch opened, and a stream of cold air sprayed out.

Yang Yunbo and two other players, one man and one woman, were standing on the steps waiting for him, and he quickly said hello while introducing himself to each other.

The other three players are named Xia Qi, Ning Xi, and Lu Yanqi, among which Lu Yanqi is Xia Qi's girlfriend and is quite beautiful.

As the owner, Yang Yunbo had already prepared food and drinks, a stone was hewn into a tripod shape and stood on the ground, with a groove like a tray on the surface, and many lines and grooves were drawn on it, and he didn't know how to make the temperature in the stone trough extremely high.

The five of them were eating barbecue meat and drinking drinks together, chatting at the same time.

Most of the time, it was Li Qing who asked them about this galaxy and nearby galaxies, and they answered.

Through understanding, there were originally six players in this galaxy, and now there are seven players in Li Qing, and they can usually talk very well, among which Yang Yunbo and Xia Qi, Lu Yanqi, and Ning Xi's bases are all on this asteroid, and the bases of the other two players are in other places in the asteroid belt.

It just so happened that the two of them had something to do with the asteroid in the depths today, and they wouldn't be able to come for a while.

"You have to say it sooner, and the two of them will come over."

Yang Yunbo smeared a large slice of roasted meat with sauce, rolled it up, stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it, took another sip of drink, and said to him:

"You came to us to find the right one, it's too difficult for a person outside here to mix, I was the first to come here, alone, lonely to death, every time I collect enough ore to refine and transport it out, I am afraid that the base will be gone."

"Haha, I have that concern too."

"But don't worry now, if you want to go out and tell us at that time, I'll send two boats to your base to help you take a look."

Li Qing hurriedly thanked him:

"That's too much trouble."

Yang Yunbo waved his hand and said:

"Don't bother, let's help each other."

Li Qing nodded:

"You really have to help each other, otherwise it's not easy to mix."

"By the way, how often do you usually go back to Jinmen, maybe we can go together."

"Tsumen? We rarely go back, maybe once in three or four years. ”

Li Qingqi said:

"Do you have to sell your mine once after so long?"

Xia Qi, who had been eating, raised his head and said:

"You may be mistaken, our mine is not shipped back to Jinmen to be sold."

"Where is that?"

"From here to the north, on the other side of the JM-N-381 galaxy, there is a large team called the Burning Ghost who has established a team headquarters there, and there is a third-level star fortress, occupying thirty or forty systems centered on the JM-N-381 system, and all the surrounding individual players and small teams of ore are basically sold to the Burning Ghost."

"Hmm! That...."

As soon as he spoke, Ning Xi finished eating a piece of barbecue, looked up and said to him:

"You have to be careful, although we sell all the mines to the Burning Ghost, this team doesn't have a very good reputation in the neighborhood."

"Tell me about it."

"This burning ghost team moved here more than thirty years ago and began to build a base, I heard that it was originally started by looting, and later established a formal team and laundered it, but some things are soaked in the bones, stingy, grudges, greedy, because his team is nearby to buy all kinds of ores on a large scale, he will keep the price extremely low, can only be purchased at ninety percent of the market price, the newcomers who have just come will be pressed even lower, and the industrial goods sold are two percent more expensive than Jinmen."

"But there is no way, this is too far away from Jinmen, it will take four or five months for the fleet to go back, and it will take four or five months to come back, and it will take nearly ten months to go back and forth, which is too time-consuming.

"In addition, the people who burn the ghost are stingy and hold grudges, but they will stay in the team's sphere of influence most of the time and rarely go out, I'll send you a complete star map later, you can take a look, don't run to their territory to mine, so as not to provoke them."

Li Qing smiled:

"Don't worry, I'm just a boat now, and I can't finish digging the local mines, so it's impossible to dig somewhere else."

After some small talk, he found that although they had different personalities, they were all very easy to get along with.

Most of them are very standard kind of personal pioneers, who don't seem to have any ambitions, and their ambitions are limited to their abilities and achievements, they just want to dig some mines while they are young, make some money, and sell all the ships and mines when they are almost earned, and go back to the United Empire of Mankind to find a stable colony star to settle down and become a financially free tycoon, and they have no idea of crisscrossing the sea of stars at all.

The most active in it is Xia Qi and another player, who occasionally go out on adventures after mining, but they don't run far.

Li Qing likes to be neighbors with such people, worry-free and reassuring.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, he accidentally scanned a glance between Xia Qi's girlfriend and Yang Yunbo, which seemed a little strange.

He didn't dare to think too much, he just thought he was wrong.

After eating and drinking together, everyone got acquainted with each other, chatted and farted, Li Qing took the opportunity to ask more about the situation in the vicinity, and got a more detailed star map, and the farthest point had been explored as far as the JM-N-544 galaxy.

Coming back from Yang Yunbo's base, Li Qing was in a good mood.

This trip was full of gains, met a few friends, and learned about the situation nearby, unlike before.

However, they don't have any extra ore crushing and refining equipment, so they need to go to the Burning Ghost team to buy it.

However, in another month, Xia Qi will have almost the same ore they have mined, ready to sell, and they will agree to go over and have a look together when the time comes, and by the way, the newcomers who no one will definitely be depressed in the past.

I returned to the base, only rested for one day, and continued to mine the next day.

Although the base ore is piled up, it is far from being digestible.

Anyway, the cosmic space in the palm of your hand is almost infinite, so it doesn't hurt to hold it.

Back in the asteroid belt, the mining ship continued to mine, checking the previous records, there was nothing abnormal.

Although there are very few people here, and the wild monsters that refresh from time to time slowly accumulate a lot, it is nothing compared to the distance of the starry sky, and there may not be a living thing within a radius of more than 100,000 kilometers.

Then it was a boring mining day, and the only thing that was better than before was to get the communication channel opened by Yang Yunbo and several other players, and you could chat.

This communication channel is similar to a regional channel, which is formed by the player's radar as a fulcrum, must have a radar to join, must be allowed by others to join, must be in the current galaxy, and cannot communicate without this system.

Although the radar they use is not advanced and cannot communicate in real time, there is a delay of about a minute, but it is still much better than not being able to communicate before.

The frigate moves forward along the edge of the asteroid belt, and as soon as it touches a meteorite containing ore, it will be collected into the universe in the palm of your hand, regardless of the amount of ore.

Others also need to consider the cost of transportation and the cost of refining, and he doesn't need anything.

Time passed day by day, and before I knew it, half a month passed.

On this day, he was routinely mining, opening the universe in his palm and putting a fluttering meteorite into a huge black hole, losing this meteorite barrier several kilometers in diameter, behind which was a large empty void, at the end of which a huge artificial creation loomed, and several armed mining ships were surrounding the huge artificial creation.

"Here we go again!"

Li Qing glanced at the ore balls piled up on the side of the huge meteorite embedded in the huge artificial creation, and couldn't help but swallow.

The ore ball is the ore that has been collected and there is nowhere to put it, so a special method is used to assemble a huge ore ball, which many mining players will do, and then use the traction beam to bind the ore ball around the base, swim around the base, and wait until enough ore is accumulated before transporting it away in one go.

Obviously, this monster mining base has collected a lot of ore, so much that the base can't hold it.

If there are no accidents, after a period of time, more ore will be stockpiled, and the base will convert these ores into resources, and then spawn more mining ships or convoys.

At this stage, players can snatch these ores, which are directly raw ores, and can be sold directly for money.

But....

Li Qing glanced at the fleet patrolling not far from the base, led by a destroyer.

With his current strength, he will definitely not be able to do it.

But....

He left a message for everyone else in the communication channel:

"Brothers, I found an anomaly here, there is a mining base, the ore is piled up into balls, there is a destroyer and more than two dozen frigates, are you interested in making a wave?"

After almost two minutes, Ning Xi replied:

"I can't do it."

At this time, another player named Zhang Wei, who didn't come last time, said:

"This is meaningless, the most important thing in the asteroid belt is this kind of wild mining base, we have found no less than ten here, and we are not interested in paying attention to it."

"Ahh

Li Qing asked in surprise:

"Can't the six of you do it together?"

Nearly two minutes later, Zhang Yunbo responded:

"Of course, the small scale can be done, but there will inevitably be losses, more than 20 frigates and a destroyer, the firepower is quite fierce, and a frigate will be blown up if it can't carry it a few times, and it will be a loss even if you take the base."

"This kind of mining base will drop some wreckage at most, as well as the ore in the base, there is a very small probability that it will drop data chips or drawings, but the drop rate is extremely low, and the ore asteroid belt is the most lacking, it is nothing more than taking some time to mine, and it is not a wise man to take risks for this very small probability."

"You only have one ship now, your strength is too weak, don't think about anything else in the early stage, make money first, buy more mining ships to build a fleet to make money, and only consider configuring more warships when you earn more money in the future."

"Oh!"

Li Qing stopped talking, they had been mixing for longer than themselves, and if they couldn't draw it, they would definitely not be able to draw it.

Putting away the thoughts, the frigate turned and left.

But the frigate, which had just been halfway through, stopped again and returned again.

Li Qing stood in front of the bridge glass and looked at the picture in the distant void, his chin pinched in his hand, and he had a bold idea in his mind.

There is no doubt that you can't beat it, but it doesn't mean that you can't get some benefits.

This monster AI is limited, and now he is observing the base from a distance, but the base and the surrounding escort fleet have not found him, indicating that the base radar is not as good as his third-generation radar, and the ideas in his mind have room to operate.

It's very simple, open the Pocket Universe outside the detection range of the mining base's radar, and steal the ore balls that have accumulated around the monster mining base.

The base can't be moved, so it's still okay to steal a mine.

Anyway, the maximum distance of the cosmic opening in the palm of your hand is determined by the line of sight, that is, it can be opened within the maximum detection range of the radar.

His radar has a farther range than the monsters, stealing from a distance, and they don't even know where the enemy is.

The opening space of the universe in the palm of your hand is not invincible, but it is definitely not something that this ordinary monster's attack can shake.

Thinking of it, Li Qing first took a turn around the neighborhood and found a huge meteorite hidden behind, and then looked at the picture of the wild monster mining base from the subspace radar sensor in front of him, and his mind moved, and the light curtain showed that a huge black hole gap was quietly opened in front of an ore ball with a diameter of four or five kilometers around the mining base, and the ore ball swam by inertia and quietly drilled into the black hole.

Then, Li Qing felt a ball of pure ore with a diameter of nearly five kilometers appear in the universe in his palm.

“YES！”

He swung his fist vigorously and closed the exit of the universe in his palm.

Looking at the radar screen again, several frigates are constantly flying back and forth where the ore ball disappears, like a bug.

Normal,How can the little AI of the wild monster understand what is going on?,It is estimated that it has never been encountered.,So that there is no way to deal with this aspect in the AI logic.,Resulting in a conflict in the logic.,Thus forming this weird change like a card bug.。

The attempt was successful, Li Qing was excited, just the ore ball just now, even if it was all iron ore, the total value was definitely tens of millions.

There are six such ore balls in the mining base, and the total income can exceed 50 million if they are all taken away.

It's a pity that it is raw ore, if it is refined ore, the total value is afraid that it can break 500 million.

But either way, it's all for nothing.

After waiting for a while, Li Qing repeated his old trick again, stealing the other ore balls one by one in the same way.

The escort fleet guarding the area around the mining base attacked when they saw the black hole appearing, but no attack could destroy the black hole in the slightest.

After stealing all the mines, the frigate quickly retreated, and Li Qing's consciousness returned to the universe in his palm, excited.

It's not just these six ore balls with a total value of more than 50 million star yuan, but through his actions just now, it was as if he had opened a new world, and countless more sassy operations came to mind.
