Zhou Shaohang, who had many harvesting experiences, led the fleet to turn around outside the galaxy's gravitational well for a while, and found a place to drill into it.

Once inside the gravitational well, the fleet will enter a sub-light state and sail in the direction of the marked coordinates.

The so-called gravitational well refers to the maximum gravitational binding range of the central star of the galaxy to the planets in the galaxy, just like the gravitational well range of the solar system, which is Neptune, the most edge of the solar system.

Pluto, once the ninth largest planet, is just a dwarf planet and is not officially a large planet.

During this time, the fleet remained silent, and even communication would not be turned on until it reached the intended location.

About three hours later, the fleet finally arrived at the intended location, and when Fang Chen was woken up by Zhou Shaohang, he found that the fleet had arrived, and it was on the edge of the asteroid belt at this time, and the lead command ship led his fleet into the asteroid belt.

At this time, the rest of the fleet also woke up one after another, and the communication channel began to be lively.

"The Scarlet Pioneer's mining base is about 80,000 kilometers away from us, and then we need to fly through the asteroid belt in a normal way, which is expected to take about an hour and a half."

"Now, the fleet needs to be silent, and there must be no communication other than the fleet's internal channels."

"According to the normal situation, there will not be many garrisons in a mining base, certainly not as good as us, but there must be patrol fleets and garrisons in the galaxy, so we don't have enough time, we must complete the harvesting task within an hour after the battle, and prepare to evacuate immediately regardless of whether the task is completed or not!"

At this time, the fleet was already starting to sail, and Fang Chen's fleet was following behind, and Zhou Shaohang was introducing the battle plan in the channel.

Mainly to introduce Fang Chen, everyone else is an old fritter, and they have done this kind of work more than once.

"When you follow us, I didn't specify your name, you will be in the rear, of course, if you find an emergency, you can act cheaply as you like."

"Okay."

"Don't worry, we've done this kind of thing many times, and we have a lot of experience, so there won't be any danger."

Fang Chen touched the back of his head and smiled.

He was really not nervous, anyway, it wasn't him who took the lead, and he could just run away when he saw that the situation was not good.

With the +5 penetration power granted by his talent, ordinary jamming and interception systems will never stop him.

The fleet shuttled quickly in the asteroid belt, occasionally seeing wild monsters wandering in the asteroid meteorite belt, the small ones saw them turn around and run away, and the large ones turned far away.

Halfway through the journey, one of the cruisers turned on a silent device equipped in the A slot, and then Fang Chen found that the battleship's communications had been affected, except for the internal communication of the fleet, all other communications were affected, and the members of the fleet were temporarily unable to communicate with each other.

Although it is unlikely that there will be a mole, there should be some caution.

"The fleet stops here for a moment!"

Then a specially camouflaged T5-class frigate equipped with stealth devices broke away from the fleet and continued on its way.

"If you want to play harvesting alone in the future, you must configure a professional reconnaissance ship to reconnoiter the enemy's fleet first, otherwise you will be doomed if you run headlong into the main force of others at home."

Zhou Shaohang was quite responsible, and explained to Fang Chen every time he issued an order.

Someone seriously taught you that this is a good thing, Fang Chen listened carefully, and asked some of his doubts from time to time, and Zhou Shaohang also answered carefully.

Almost an hour later, the reconnaissance ship managed to return.

"Good news!"

Zhou Shaohang said loudly in the channel:

"If the enemy's patrol fleet is not there, it will defend the army normally, and this wave can be carried out."

With that, the fleet set sail again.

At this time, some mining ships have begun to appear in the asteroid belt, and at the same time, there are monitoring equipment placed in the mining base on some meteorites in the asteroid belt, no matter how careful they are, they can't avoid it.

However, there was no need to avoid it at this time, at this time he had already figured out the enemy's guard, and Zhou Shaohang ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed.

By the time they emerged from the asteroid belt and saw the mining base built on a giant meteorite, as well as the surrounding eleven storage oreballs, the garrison of the mining base was ready.

But as Zhou Shaohang said, under normal circumstances, there would not be too many garrisons in the mining base, and at this time there were only 1 cruiser, 5 destroyers, and 36 frigates moored in front of the base.

Without any nonsense, the fleet dispersed as previously rehearsed and was heading towards the base.

Several of Fang Chen's warships were parked behind as reserves, protecting the 15 industrial ships that followed.

"Boom, boom!"

Thick pillars of light crossed the air, and metal cannonballs drew long trajectories under the electromagnetic urging and rushed towards the opposing warships, and were blocked by the shields of the warships on both sides, causing ripples and ripples.

As soon as the two sides fought, they went straight to a white-hot state.

Under the command of Zhou Shaohang, the warships gathered enough firepower to gather fire, and each round of bombardment could smash the two frigates.

But the corresponding enemy's firepower is not weak, and in the case of the same concentrated fire, it is enough to kill a frigate in seconds.

"Brothers, that's it, give me a hard beating!"

The two sides used the frigate as cannon fodder to attract firepower, and after fifteen rounds of back and forth, the frigate of the mining base was killed, and at this time, the guild relied on the advantage of the fleet, and the remaining more than eighty frigates broke out of the array, and began to besiege the cruiser under the artillery fire of the base.

The size of the fleet is too bad, and it is limited to hold on to the mining base and cannot be delayed, so it can only be held on, hoping to hold on a little longer and wait for the patrol fleet to arrive.

It's a pity that they can't wait for that time, as the fleet completes the encirclement, Fang Chen receives a communication from Zhou Shaohang, asking him to take fifteen industrial ships to put away the ore balls near the mining base.

He doesn't need to control the industrial ship, there is a professional command, he just needs to protect the industrial ship from being disturbed when collecting ore.

When the composition of the ore ball was scanned, someone in the channel shouted excitedly:

"This one is going to be sent!"

Even if no one explained, Fang Chen knew that this was really going to be sent.

The timing of their harvest was quite coincidental, and it happened that the mining base had accumulated enough ore, but it had not yet had time to transport it.

The value of a one-kilometer diameter limestone ball is as high as 40 billion tons, and the price of leukite is twice that of graystone, as high as 80 billion.

There are eleven ore balls here, even if most of them are gray crystals and limestones, which are hundreds of billions of star dollars.

In fact, there must be valuable ore balls in it.

However, this is only a theoretical gain, and the reality is that they don't have that time to put all the ore away.

Because it is a plunder, you need to put all the ore into the cargo hold of the industrial ship to jump, which cannot be done in a few days, so you can only collect the most valuable ore.
