In the face of overwhelming force, no matter what the Pangurid giant elves think or do, they cannot interfere with the fleet's exploitation of resources.
The efficiency of interstellar mining equipment is very gratifying. Every resource point in the world is continuously producing various raw materials. Batches of minerals are filled with warehouses, and the daily income is quite considerable.
During the mining process, some exploration troops discovered more resources in the depths of the ground, which increased the planet's valuation again.
Han Xiao looked at the report and felt relieved.
Mining the resource planets of those civilizations in Broken Starlink, although the profit is not small, but after all, it is dividends on other people's sites, and some are tied up and not free enough. And mining the Glittering World resource planet that you discovered, you can make a big splash, as long as it is not destructive mining, the empire will not interfere more.
These rare materials can be sold to the empire, or brought back to Broken Starlink for wholesale sales. Han Xiao temporarily hoarded them and let professional market personnel take charge of the sales and try to sell them at high prices.
After the Stargate was built, an imperial team came across, said hello to Han Xiao, and joined the ranks of collecting resources. The professionals brought in took over the education of the indigenous people.
After completing the simple handover, Han Xiao recovered some of his hands.
After the initial exploration of the Pangurid star was completed, he only needed to mine the next planet. He decided to stay on this planet for two days, let the players do some activities, and then set off to explore the next planet.
Now all legion players have explored the first planet and have a certain understanding of the mechanics of the Glittering World quest, and players who encounter resource planets are faced with a choice, that is, they can choose to leave mining resources.
Ordinary players naturally refuse. How can they give up the entire forest because of a single tree, but many first-tier guilds in Huaxia are just the opposite, because most of the core backbones of the guilds follow Han Xiao’s main fleet actions, Pangurid Star The rich resources made them reluctant to give up.
For the guild, ten birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand. They need long-term resource points to provide benefits for the guild. There are many members of China's four giants and first-tier guilds, leaving a group of peripheral personnel to mine resource points here. .
Because the output of large-scale mining equipment belongs to the legion, these guilds purchased a batch of worker bee armor from the legion, and distributed it to the left-behind personnel, allowing them to mine by themselves. This part of the output is the long-term income of the guild.
Players have their own ways to generate income, and Han Xiao will not stop them. This is just a petty profit, and it will not let him hinder players from exerting their own subjective initiative. The more full these guilds are, the more they agree with the legion.
The old Russian and old Australian club guild from the Constellation Corridor has developed a group of peripheral personnel during this period of time. They have followed suit, and they have reluctantly allocated staff to stay at the resource point, thinking about getting a piece of the pie. When the four giants saw this, they planned to wait for the big army to leave, and then let other first-line guilds help them to find trouble with these outsiders, so that these foreign guilds could not gather resources at ease. Let them be slaughtered.
In the 4.0 version of the previous life, the guilds of various countries destroyed each other's resource points in Glittering World. It was a joy. Now the old Russian and old Australian guilds are in the base camp of the Huaxia Guild.
Because Han Xiao let some players cross the star field in advance, the guild competition appeared earlier than in the previous life.
…
Pangurid Star, a certain sea area.
Strong winds and rain, surging waves.
A mining base is located at sea, motionless in the surging sea, a semi-circular energy shield looming, covering the entire base, and the shock waves hit the shield, leaving pieces of white foam.
On the edge of the base, a soldier wearing underwater working armor carried detection equipment and went into the water one after another, some of which were players. There is a molten crystal vein below this base, and these people went into the water to detect the situation in this sea area.
Fengyue also accepted this task. She wore underwater armor, cruising underwater, and quickly dived for thousands of meters.
His vision is full of dark blue sea water, extending far into the distance, the sea water becomes pitch black, full of unknown fear, and there is silence in his ears, only the sound of radar detection, his own breathing, and the thumping heartbeat in his chest. Voice.
This kind of silent and terrifying atmosphere made Fengyue shiver a little and almost wanted to shrink into a ball.
"It's better to go back... It's a big deal not to do this quest..." Fengyue was afraid. Although her combat power had reached Grade B, the character's attributes would not bring any mental bonus to the player. Mild deep-sea phobia.
Just as he was about to ascend, the radar suddenly sounded an alarm.
"A large lifeform was detected! The target is approaching!"
The surrounding sea water swelled up, and Fengyue's body was out of control. She drifted with the current. She hurriedly turned on the stabilizer, and the ribs of the armor spurted white light, which stabilized her body.
Before she could look around, the radar showed a spot of light rushing towards her at a missile-like speed.
Fengyue turned her head in panic, and suddenly, a huge monster suddenly appeared in the field of vision, with countless webbed claws and a head like a plesiosaur, opening its bloody mouth towards her.
Her eyes were black, and she was swallowed in one bite.
After the hunt was over, the monster slowed down and was about to enjoy a delicious meal when its huge body suddenly twitched, looking extremely painful.
The next moment, a dazzling blue light exploded from the monster's body, blowing it into pieces.
Bang! !
Purple blood and minced flesh splashed out in the sea, and Maple Moon's armor was covered with viscous liquid, mixed with blood and gastric juices.
Looking at this bloody scene, Fengyue quickly turned on the green, healthy and fresh mode, which made the picture more harmonious.
She was just frightened and forgot to resist for a while. After she came back to her senses, it was very easy to use the combat power of a B-rank mechanic to kill an ordinary beast.
Fengyue recovered the bomb battery around her. She couldn't stand the atmosphere of the deep sea, and was about to float up. The radar suddenly prompted her to detect an abnormal metal object, which was in the tattered body of this monster.
"What did I find?" Fengyue's eyes moved. As a plot player, her curiosity has always been strong, and she intuitively found some hidden elements.
After hesitating for half a second, she stopped floating, endured nausea and rummaged through the monster's body, releasing the magnetic force in her palm.
clang! A metal object about one meter in size was absorbed into his hand.
It looked like some kind of detection probe, tattered, full of corrosion marks, and the surface was sunken in several places, like the bite marks of a living creature.
[You find an unknown detector]
[Unknown probe: This seems to be the wreckage of some kind of space probe, which has been seriously damaged. Its technological content far exceeds that of the natives of this planet. It seems to come from other civilizations. Maybe it contains some information, you can try Appraisal, you can also give it to special characters in exchange for rewards... Or, you can try to repair it and activate it, which will lead to special consequences, please choose carefully (requires mechanical ability)]
[You get 6 personal exploration points]
"This is a hidden mission item!"
Fengyue's eyes shone brightly, and she instantly forgot the fear of the deep sea. She repeatedly looked at the unknown probe in her hand, full of interest. She liked to dig out this unknown plot the most.
Without saying a word, she immediately returned to the base with the props, not even taking off her armor, and hurriedly began to identify the detector. Her mechanical ability met the requirements, and the panel quickly popped up the results.
[Appraisal completed! You get a [broken positioning beacon], which uses technologies such as space beacon positioning, long-distance quantum connection, gravitational space voyage, etc. Current status: serious damage, system failure, all functions stop running]
"The level of technology is not low." Fengyue was surprised, this has reached the level of a galaxy-level civilization, which means that the Pangurid star has been discovered by a certain civilization
It is also possible that this beacon may have broken down in the universe, lost its positioning ability, and was finally captured by the gravitational force of Pangurid star, fell into the deep sea, and was swallowed by marine creatures as food, otherwise Pangurid star may have long ago. visitor.
Fengyue is in a tangle. This beacon is valuable information, and it is handed over to the legion for processing, and it will definitely be rewarded.
However, she couldn't help but feel good (zuo) curious (si), and wanted to fix this beacon and see what the "special consequences" in the prop introduction were and who it would attract.
After hesitating for a while, Fengyue gritted her teeth, and curiosity prevailed.
[You use [Intermediate Repair] on [Broken Location Beacon]! ]
[Judgment in progress... Judgment passed, your level, intelligence, occupational knowledge and skill level meet the prerequisites]
[Repair progress 2%… 14%… 35%… ]
[After the repair is completed, you get the [reluctantly repaired location beacon]! ]
Fengyue was overjoyed and, without saying a word, chose to activate the beacon.
Didi... The indicator light of the beacon lights up, sending invisible quantum positioning data to the receiving end of the unknown force.
[You trigger the hidden mission [Beacon of unknown origin]! ]
[Mission introduction: You found a location beacon with high technology content on an indigenous planet in Glittering World. You don’t know who put this beacon, but you choose to repair and activate the beacon, and send the location information. Go out, maybe this will attract unknown forces...]
[Task requirements: Contact the unknown forces that drop beacons]
[Quest reward: 300 experience, 70 personal exploration points, [Bold Quest] skill fragment x1 (2 fragments can only be combined)]
[[Bold Quest]: Special skill, when exploring unknown places, identifying unknown items, etc., you can use this skill to gain inspiration, forcibly obtain part of the information, and can be used repeatedly on a target, with a cooldown of 7 days. Each time you use it, you will get a negative state [Reckless], and your luck attribute will be reduced by 60% for 14 days]
[Remarks: As long as you are brave, the universe is my home]
[This quest is linked to the Glittering World main quest, you can report the situation to the faction to which the main quest belongs and get help from the npc faction (strongly recommended)]
"Reward skill fragments? This kind of quest reward is very rare, and you can even ask for help from the faction... Does it mean that the consequences of activating the beacon are serious..." Fengyue was surprised.
When she thought of handing it over, the figure of the legion commander appeared in her mind.
…
"You found a beacon of advanced civilization on this planet?"
Looking at the beacon in Fengyue's hand, Han Xiao's eyes showed doubts.
Originally, he thought that Fengyue was only here to learn skills, but he didn't expect to bring him a hidden item.
At present, only the empire is developing this area, so this beacon can only come from an unknown indigenous civilization in Glittering World. According to its technological content, the launcher should have a galaxy-level development level.
And this beacon uses conventional thrusters and gravitational flight technology. Even if it flies for hundreds of years, the speed is limited, so the civilization that put the beacon should be in this galaxy.
But Han Xiao remembers that in the previous life, there was no local galaxy civilization in the southern border galaxy of the Gaolu star cluster. The Scarlet Empire's exploration data did not show that he had encountered a galaxy-level civilization here, and he did not learn from those who explored during the version update in his previous life. NPCs have heard of similar incidents.
Could it be that the civilization that placed the beacon has long since perished, and now there are only relics left? This possibility is not impossible.
But Han Xiao took the beacon from Fengyue, and a prompt popped up on his panel, which also triggered this hidden quest. The quest request indirectly indicated that this unknown force still existed.
Han Xiao's heart moved. The initial exploration of Glittering World in the previous life was a matter during the version update. The player later restored the exploration situation through various data records and character recitations. What I encountered now may not even be discovered by the empire in the previous life. hidden plot
Fengyue didn't know that Han Xiao could also accept the quest, and was thinking about how to explain the information that he knew the beacon was useful.
At this time, Han Xiao said:
"Let me study this thing for a while, maybe I can find some problems."
Hearing this, Fengyue thought that this was the hand in the task item, so she did not refuse.
Watching Maple Moon leave, Han Xiao carefully studied the beacon in his hand, his eyes flickering.
"I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected discovery on Panguride Star. This group of players is still reliable in finding hidden quests." Han Xiao chuckled.
The reward of this hidden quest made his heart move. [Bold Quest] is an identification ability, which has reached the category of special prediction, and few players have it in the previous life. Although it does not help in combat, it is a magical skill in doing tasks and discovering hidden plots.
I only know that there is a chance to get skill fragments by triggering hidden missions, and there is no fixed acquisition channel.
Although the skills are very limited, they are also useful to me. Not to mention the distance, let’s just say that the strange set of data left by Ability God has no clue yet, and Aesop can’t predict what the picture is. The skills of this professional counterpart may be able to get some clues.
"Unfortunately, it's not a complete skill, but only one skill fragment." Han Xiao regretted a little.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao immediately entered the field of quantum network, researched the beacon, and deciphered the positioning data encoding of the other party. This beacon uses quantum link technology, which means that he can use the ability of the virtual mechanic to track backwards.
The mission requirement is to contact this unknown force. It seems that you just need to wait and see, but there is actually another mystery.
Glittering World is not like the cosmos that has been explored. There is no order like the interstellar society here. The indigenous civilizations here are still in the dark period and do not know each other's existence, so once the beacon is found to be activated, it means to the launcher. a war.
Contact is the same as facing the attack of the dropper.
Therefore, rather than being sent to the door, Han Xiao is more willing to take the initiative to send someone over. Anyway, the request is only for contact, whoever finds the other party first.
After searching along the quantum link for a while, Han Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, opened the star map, searched for a while, and pointed his finger at the position that is several star areas away from the Pangurid star, which is also within this galaxy. .
"Found you."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, he remembered that there was no indigenous civilization in this place in his previous life.
After thinking about it, Han Xiao snapped his fingers, and the ancestors surrounding him immediately fit in and stood in front of him.
"Owner."
"I have a task for you." Han Xiao said slowly: "You bring some mechanical life and some mechanical troops, and follow the data sending direction of the beacon to find the guy who placed the beacon. If they attack, you will subdue them."
"Understood master."
Youzu nodded and made the sound of rustling metal friction, and then he split into many floating guards, flew out of the room, and immediately went to form a team.
Because there are several star areas, it would be too abrupt and a waste of time to rush past, so Han Xiao did not plan to go out in person.
Now he has a mechanical life to be on his own. In addition to the [Quantum Distanceless Transmission Channel], the mechanical soldiers who are not around can also get the mechanical force bonus. His mechanical legion already has the ability to expedition, and it is the same across countless light-years. Has super A Grade combat power.
Transcendent A Grade mechanics are dreadful in the Xinghai, this is one of the reasons, the ability range and battlefield range are the most terrifying of all occupations!
