The Refining Academy in the west of Yanyan City has expanded by another thirty acres of land, and the entire Refining Academy now covers an area of 100 acres, ranking third in scale in Yanyan City, second only to the Spirit Plant Academy and the Military Academy.

The management of the refining academy is very strict, there are heavy guards around it, and idle people are not allowed to approach, even internal personnel can only enter with a license plate.

Among them, the highest degree of secrecy is the newly added area, and it is said that except for Xu Yue, the deputy head of the Refining Academy, and the thirty-seven refiners who have newly joined the Refining Academy, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter.

Of course, there was no place in Yanyan City where the city lord couldn't go, Wei Wuxian came at two ends in three days, and sometimes stayed for most of the day.

Now the number of troops in Yanyan City is constantly rising, from more than 6,000 Yan Lizard soldiers and 10,000 Yin soldiers at the beginning to 30,000. Among the new soldiers were both alien and Terran monks, some of them new recruits for military service according to the regulations, and some were professional soldiers.

Wei Wuxian's biggest headache at the moment was that he couldn't find an available person to manage military affairs for him, which made him want to take over all the people from the Shepanshan Base more and more, so he paid special attention to the renovation of the starship, and almost as long as he had time, he would soak in the refining courtyard and follow Huang Sanqi and those refiners to repair it.

Huang Sanqi is also a black-robed man, a powerful primordial realm refiner.

However, the interstellar warship has not been used for thousands of years, and many rune arrays are already a little unstable, and they need to be stabilized or re-refined, and this process cannot be completed in a day or two, and there is no hurry.

At the beginning of the second year, 5,000 acres of spiritual fields were harvested, and the output exceeded 45 million catties.

10 million catties is not a small amount, it takes a large cargo ship to carry it, this transaction is done, even if you only earn one catty of Dao coins, you can net 10 million, Ning Yu has never handled such a huge amount, and there is a trace of nervousness in the excitement.

However, Wei Wuxian had a request this time, that is, to follow the cargo ship out to see the world.

Lou Lao said to Ning Yu: "You agreed?"

Ning Yu nodded.

"You're not afraid that he'll get rid of you once he's familiar with the situation. ”

"He won't, he's a big guy, he doesn't do this kind of thing, and he doesn't bother to do it. ”

"You're so optimistic about him?"

"Well, even if it's wrong, how bad can it be now, my current net worth is not only dozens of times more than before, but at the same time that he borrowed my channels, I didn't borrow his goods to expand my original contacts and channels. ”

Lou Lao nodded, didn't say anything more, and looked at the large harvested spiritual fields and the cool and thorough water storage lake below, and his heart was also full of emotion.

The cargo ship stopped ten miles outside the city, and Wei Wuxian personally came to greet the two of them.

The 10 million catties of Linggu have been prepared, and they can be on the ship after waiting for the inspection.

Even the well-informed Lou Lao was shocked by the bags in front of him that were packed and stacked in mountains according to the standard weight. 100 catties per bag, a total of 100,000 bags, all meet the requirements after spot checks.

Ning Yu said: "Is it still exchanged for Yuan Jing this time?"

Wei Wuxian said: "It's still the same. ”

Now that the scale of Yanyan City is getting bigger and bigger, it is not realistic to rely on him to condense Yuan Jing from the Yin and Yang two gas cylinders, and he will have to reserve Yuan Jing through commerce and trade in the future.

The importance of Yuan Jing is self-evident, the cultivation of monks, the energy source of weapons and equipment, the energy source of future star warships, etc., all of which will use Yuan Jing.

Ning Yu said: "Okay, you will go with me alone?"

"Well, just me, I mainly want to go out and see the world. ”

Ning Yu knew that there might not be anything wrong with this, but it definitely wouldn't be the only purpose.

The ship departs the next day, with the first stop being the Empty Nest Colony.

The empty nest colony star is 800,000 miles away from the Flame Worm Colony Star, even if the cargo ship is at level 9 wind speed, it will take four and a half days to arrive, there is only one colony base on this colony star, and there is no city management like the Flame Worm Colony Star, the original owner of the colony star is the empty nest clan, and now it has become a puppet of the Tianfeng Great World, providing countless mineral resources for the original Yuan Star every year.

Empty nesters have no blood and backbone, are good at building, and have incredible spatial abilities.

This is Ning Yu's evaluation of them, when the small world of fireworms faced the powerful monk army, they chose to fight to the end, even if they were captured and became slaves without freedom in the end, they were never weak.

The empty nests surrendered with little resistance, their idea that it was better to die than to live, but they couldn't stand up after kneeling for a long time.

However, these guys grovel in the face of the strong, and arrogantly and trample on the weak.

They transferred the pressure from the Tianfeng Great World to the other small tribes below, layer by layer, and the most bitter ones were actually those civilians and mine slaves. They are still enjoying what they should be enjoying, but they have an extra collar around their necks - a chain behind the collar, and on the other end of the chain is the Terran monk.

Wei Wuxian listened to Ning Yu's introduction to the destination while looking at the cabin of the cargo ship he was in.

The scale of this cargo ship is comparable to that of an interstellar warship, and the 10 million catties of Spirit Valley only occupies one-third of the warehouse, and all kinds of goods are piled up in other places.

Ning Yu said that this building has always relied on this cargo ship, and has earned quite a lot of assets by transporting goods back and forth to hundreds of colonial stars, not to mention that it is a cargo ship, and it also has a defense system and fifty offensive Tissot, and ordinary interstellar bandits dare not fight it.

Tissot is an upgraded version of the Shuttle, which not only has a defense system, but also an attack system, on which to fire the Gathering Cannon.

The Juyuan Cannon is a weapon similar to the Epideon Cannon, and its attack range is farther, which can reach a thousand zhang away, and is more powerful.

This made Wei Wuxian's heart itch, and he planned to wait for the interstellar warship at home to be repaired, and it would also be escorted by hundreds of Tissot.

Time passed quickly, and at noon on the fifth day, the cargo ship successfully arrived at its destination, the empty-nest colony.

Large cargo ships entering and leaving the Colonial Star Sky must be approved by the Colonial Star Base below, otherwise they will be treated as invaders.

Lou Lao has established a good relationship in these places, and after confirming it with Yingui, he began to slowly descend downward.

The sound is a tool used by the Xiuzhen Realm to communicate with each other over long distances, and Yanyan City has now also purchased some of them, in addition to communication between various ministries and courtyards, it is also used for daily broadcasting.

These new things greatly increased Wei Wuxian's knowledge, and it was precisely because of this that he was eager to understand the surrounding situation, expand his horizons, and lay the foundation for the future development of Yanyan City.

The cargo ship finally landed, and when it came out of it, the first feeling was that the climate was much cooler than that of the Flame Worm Colony Star, roughly close to the Heavenly Desolate Continent.

In front of him is a huge circular building, which is not regularly up and down, but diagonally upward, high at one end and low at the other. There are countless holes in the perimeter of the building, like a giant beehive.

He was greeted by a man of the same size as the Terrans with wings on his back and a magnificent robe, with unusually high cheekbones, two eyes hidden deep underneath, a nose like an eagle's hook, a face without much flesh, a thin mouth, and a pointed chin.

It smiled at Ning Yu and said, "I said why my left eye kept jumping today, it turned out that Boss Ning was here, it seems that I am going to start getting lucky again." ”

Ning Yu also smiled and said: "Patriarch Chaomin, your luck is already very good, with such a vast land and population, do you still have to share the profit below!"

Chao Min said: "How dare you share the good fortune of Boss Running, as long as you can go along the way." Speaking of this, Wei Wuxian, who looked to the side, asked, "This is..."

Ning Yu was thinking about how to introduce it, Wei Wuxian arched his hand and said, "I'm Ning Yu's friend, Wei Wuxian!"

"Oh, it turned out to be Boss Wei. The two bosses have worked hard all the way, please come into the city and talk. Chao Min returned the salute and led the way.

Wei Wuxian followed into the huge circular building in front of him, he knew that it was definitely no less massive than Yanyan City when he looked down from the sky before, only to find that it was far more magnificent than he had estimated.

The neat streets, the buildings and shops full of alien style, all kinds of alien races shuttle during the period, but the wings are obviously superior.

Chao Min invited them to a room with simplicity and luxury, and luxury and a fresh breath of luxury.

The guests and hosts sat down, and the servants brought delicious fruit and pastries, a wine he had never seen before, with a peculiar smell and a blood-like color.

Ning Yu told him that this is a fruit brewed by the locals called red cherry fruit, and the taste is very mellow and sweet.

Chao Min raised his wine glass very elegantly and toasted the two of them first, and asked: "Last time, Boss Ning brought the Linggu to my side has already been sold, and some of the surrounding nest cities are urging to ask for goods, you know, the empty nest colony star is not very big, but there are more than a billion people, the local people have gone to open mines, no one has been serving the crops, the food has been lacking, and the pressure on it is great, so I dare not reduce the population, so Boss Ning must leave some more for us this time, money is not a problem." ”

Ning Yu was very happy to hear that money was not a problem and said, "Of course, otherwise how could we come to the patriarch at the first stop." He glanced at Wei Wuxian next to him, and said, "But if we trade, it's best to use Yuan Jing, and if I want to exchange for Yuan Jing again, it's very troublesome." ”

Chao Min frowned and said, "Yuanjing is a little difficult, we all use Dao coins to trade here." ”

The Dao coins used to trade over there in the Tianfeng Great World, and the taxes they pay are also Dao coins, and few monks come to trade with them with Yuan Crystals, so there will be no Yuan Crystal storage.

Ning Yu said: "It's okay, but I can only take out a million catties to trade, because I need to trade a sufficient number of Yuan Crystals here." ”

"A million pounds... This is too little, last time it was this number, at that time it was not rolled out on my side, and now it is rolled out, asking for goods everywhere, Boss Ning, you only give me a million catties Let me do this!"

Chao Min is now the general agent of Ning Yu in the empty nest colony star, and there are outlets under it, just like it said just now, the empty nest colony star has a population of more than one billion, and there are many million-level nest cities like it, and the demand is extremely great.

Ning Yu shook his head, this time he brought a total of 10 million catties, and there are dozens of colonies below, if a guy sells it here, there is no need to go to other places.

Of course, this is actually the most cost-effective for him, which can reduce a large amount of freight, and Lou Lao is easy to speak, but when it comes to interests, it is never ambiguous, and his cargo is calculated according to the mileage.

Lou Lao's cargo ship is in accordance with a fixed itinerary every trip, along the way both off and on, anyway, it is a circular rotation, the goods are charged according to the quantity and mileage, never two prices.

Chao Min was very eye-catching, and when he saw that Ning Yu was making a decision, he looked at Wei Wuxian on the side, and immediately said, "Boss Wei, you can talk to me, we have just started, and the amount will be even greater in the future." ”

Wei Wuxian thought to himself: If there are more than a billion people according to Chao Min, then there are at least tens of thousands of nest cities of this scale, not to mention that they are all in place, as long as they take down a thousand, it is very scary, and a million catties are thrown down Each nest city is only a thousand catties, I am afraid it will not be enough to sell in a day.

The scale of this interstellar business is really terrifying, and it is not surprising that the Terran monks are conquest everywhere, and the benefits in it are too great.

"Do you have any unique minerals here?"

Chao Min said: "We are mainly rich in empty rough stones and mica gold essence stones. ”

Wei Wuxian had already learned from Ning Yu that the Empty Primordial Stone was a kind of spatial attribute material that Huang Sanqi had been talking about, and the teleportation matrix needed a large amount of this material, and as for the mica essence stone, he knew better, it was a very good water attribute material. However, mica dote azinite is generally found in the sea, does this colony star have seawater?

He raised his own questions.

Chao Min said: "It seems that Boss Wei is coming to us for the first time, and most of the empty nest colony star is the sea, and the water resources are quite abundant." ”

"I see, in this way, you can exchange the materials for five million catties!" Wei Wuxian said to Ning Yu.

"Half of each?"

"There are a little more empty rough stones, accounting for seventy percent. ”

"In that case, we won't be able to get very far. ”

"It's okay, it's the same with or without goods, I just came out to increase my knowledge. ”

"That's good. ”

The two reached an agreement, Ning Yu increased the supply of four million catties, although Chao Min still felt that it was too little, but it was better than the previous one million catties.

Wei Wuxian, no matter how they traded, wandered around the city alone with great interest, and saw a lot of things that he had never seen before, and he didn't know if it was useful, anyway, he bought some samples first, and then studied them slowly after he returned.

Three days later, the ship set sail, this time to the Celestial Colony Star.

The Tianmu Colony Star is also a million miles away from the Empty Nest Colony Star, which takes about six days, and it is a super-large Colony Star, and there are two other moons around it, which are one-third the size of the Empty Nest Colony Star.

Like the Flame Worm Colony Star, the Tianmu Colony Star has established monk cities of different sizes, each of which manages a land and population of a range of about 1,000 miles.

The gravitational field of this colony star is relatively large, about twice that of the Flame Worm Colony Star, and the creatures on it are generally relatively short and strong, otherwise they would not be able to withstand that much gravity.

The higher creatures of the Celestial Eyes Colony have one thing in common, that is, they have a vertical pupil between their eyebrows, which is the third eye.

This eye has reached the supreme realm and can see through the fog and the essence of the world, it is said that the original Tianmu Star King almost reached this point, but unfortunately he died in the hands of Tianzun in the end.

Ning Yu said that there are still traces on Tianmu Star caused by the two powerhouses fighting at that time, called the 'Heavenly Tribulation Pit', which can be seen from outer space.

Outer space is thousands of miles away from the colony star, which can be seen, so you can imagine how big that 'Heavenly Tribulation Pit' is.

In addition, there are quite a lot of minerals in Tianmuxing, especially the copper mine is very large, which contains a lot of yuan copper. Yuan copper is a material that can absorb the power of fire, and Wei Wuxian has only seen semi-intermediate copper on the Heavenly Desolate Continent, and semi-intermediate copper is the most inferior variety of Yuan copper.

Ning Yu told him that he had once mined a thirteen-pound two-dimensional copper on Tianmu Star, which was the top variety of yuan copper, and had extremely strong fire resistance and the ability to absorb the power of fire.

Among the purposes of Wei Wuxian's trip is the plan to acquire a good grade of Yuan Copper, which is also one of the main materials of the Star Warship, and it is always not wrong to have more reserve points.

In the evening of the third day, Wei Wuxian was suddenly awakened by the noise outside, and he came out of his cabin to see Ning Yu with the same surprise on his face.

Ning Yu asked the solemn Lou Lao: "What's the matter?"

"There is an unidentified fleet ahead, and I have sent ten Tissot to check it out, so you don't have to worry. ”

"Unknown fleet!" Ning Yu knew that nine times out of ten he was an interstellar thief, otherwise Lou Lao would not be so nervous.

Wei Wuxian looked at the light curtain opposite the console in front of him, dozens of points of light flashing in the deep universe. The light grew brighter and brighter as time passed, and finally revealed its outline, which was a dozen starships.

However, the appearance of these starships is a bit strange, not the warships he has seen, but they look a bit like Lou Lao's cargo ships.

Lou Lao said: "That's a small cargo ship transformation, the most common way of interstellar thieves, but this time, the lineup is a bit large, there are actually as many as twelve!"

Wei Wuxian asked, "Can we handle it?"

"Five or six are okay, that's too much, and a modified warship of their size is usually equipped with more than ten Tissot. It also has extremely strong attack power, and it will not be much worse than our cargo ship. Lou Lao finally told the truth.

"Is it too late to change the course now?" Wei Wuxian continued.

"It's too late, our cargo ship has been locked by the other party, we have no advantage in speed, and we can't run. ”

Ning Yu said: "There is no other way?"

Lou Lao frowned and pondered, and after a while, he turned to look at the light curtain on the right side and said, "I can only risk hiding in the meteorite group." ”

Ning Yu was stunned and said: "Old Lou, that's too dangerous, we are a cargo ship, an interstellar warship with no defensive power, but even an interstellar warship doesn't dare to enter the meteorite group at will!

Lou Lao said: "Then do you have any better way?"

The corners of Ning Yu's mouth twitched a few times, but he couldn't say anything.

Lou Lao said: "The lesser of the two powers, there may be a chance to enter the meteorite group, if it is surrounded by twelve interstellar thief warships, there is only one way to die at that time." ”
