Can My Battleship Be Upgraded?

Before Wang Dong, Lao Shi was the boss of this group of interstellar miners.

Because he has good skills and good luck. Even if his character is not good, it does not affect his status.

After Wang Dong arrived, his rapid progress directly affected Lao Shi's status among the miners.

So, Lao Shi focused on Wang Dong.

"Hey, isn't this our star miner, Brother Dong? Brother Dong, brother Dong, my mining technology is not good, can you give me some advice on how to do it?"

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

During the LAN communication, a greasy voice suddenly broke in.

In Wang Dong's mind, a corresponding image of a greasy middle-aged man appeared.

Mediterranean head shape, plump lips, and a pair of dull little eyes.

vomit.

Wang Dong suddenly felt a little resentful about his good memory function.

Why can I remember this kind of inferior information so well?

Your brain is already mature, why don’t you know how to be more conscious and clean it regularly?

After pondering for a moment, Wang Dong did not reply with a venomous tongue.

Whether it was before traveling to this interstellar era or the previous life before rebirth, Wang Dong was not the kind of talent who could show off his power verbally.

Therefore, facing this kind of provocation, he would only choose to respond in the same way as before.

"Hey, let's fight."

If you want to fight, then fight, it's that simple.

"Yohoo, there's another good show to watch."

"Come on, come on, I'll open the bank, Lao Shi will pay 1.5 points for every win, Brother Dong will pay 1.1 for every win!"

"Gambler, you don't want your life. Brother Dong is very happy to see Brother Dong beating Lao Shi. Are you afraid of losing your life if you dare to open the bank?"

"Don't be afraid. The worst I can do is go to the mines and work for nothing. What if Brother Dong lets Lao Shi win? Hey, hey, you guys understand."

"I understand, I understand, Lishui Villa~"

"Hey, brother Dong, why do you have to say the word "sigh" first every time?"

"Nonsense, if I wanted to know, I would have done it too."

"Hahaha!"

The communication channel was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

There are many miners gathered around the advance base, waiting for the window period in the asteroid belt.

Everyone was happy to see Wang Dong give the most direct response as always.

The cold and dead starry sky, the boring mining career, without this optimistic attitude of seizing all the interesting things, would be too difficult.

Naturally, the most direct collision between men makes it easier to ignite passion.

As soon as Wang Dong's declaration of war came out, Lao Shi's goal was achieved, but he was still not honest.

He still kept chattering.

It wasn't that he was verbose, but that he wanted to stir up Wang Dong's emotions through a verbal attack.

Wang Dong directly set his speech to text display in the communication channel, and his ears were relieved.

The competition between miners naturally relies not on the pitiful low-power self-defense laser gun on the mining spacecraft.

This kind of self-defense laser gun cannot penetrate even G1-level aviation steel plates, which are the lowest threshold level for entering the universe. It can basically only deal with ultra-small space junk.

Miners, of course, are competing for their job skills.

Such as spacecraft control, or mining operations.

The next thing Wang Dong and Lao Shi will compete is who can control the spacecraft and enter deeper into the mining area.

The asteroid belt mining area is already famous for its complex airspace conditions.

The deeper you go, the more variables there are and the airspace conditions become more complex.

The mining spaceship that goes deep into it will be destroyed if it is not careful.

Of course, if you pay, you will gain.

The deeper the mining area, the richer the mineral veins contained.

The more inaccessible the place, the better preserved the mineral veins are.

As long as you can enter smoothly, the harvest will be much higher than the edge areas of the mining area.

The ability to reach deeper parts of the mining area is one of the important factors in measuring the level of an interstellar miner.

This kind of competition is also the way that best reflects the courage and skill of miners.

Naturally, it will trigger a fanatical pursuit among miners.

This is not the first time that Lao Shi has provoked Wang Dong to compete with him.

Wang Dong knew his thoughts very well.

Lao Shi always believed that the reason why Wang Dong was able to reap more harvests than other miners every time must be because he had some unknown information in the mining area.

Rather than a purely technical issue.

In terms of spacecraft control technology and mining technology, Lao Shi does not think he is inferior to Wang Dong.

Perhaps, Wang Dong discovered a large-scale mineral vein enrichment zone?

Or to find out some operating rules of the asteroid belt mining area?

Or some other unknown secret?

Lao Shi often followed Wang Dong intentionally or unintentionally when he was mining, trying to find out Wang Dong's secrets in this way.

He also provoked Wang Dong from time to time.

Wang Dong was very annoyed with this guy who looked like brown sugar.

With good technology and control over the performance of the spacecraft, it is not difficult to get rid of Lao Shi as long as you put in a little effort.

But even if you throw him away ten or twenty times.

Next time, Lao Shi will use his greasy middle-aged male voice to provoke him again.

Or follow Wang Dong silently.

Like a buzzing fly that keeps flying around.

It makes people want to pull out its intestines, wrap it around his neck dozens of times, and then pull it hard!

Wow, the world is quieter.

In fact, Wang Dong did this in his previous life.

It was after this competition that Lao Shi disappeared from Wang Dong's life forever.

The world was indeed quiet, but it was a pity that it was only quiet for a while.

But troubles follow closely behind him like a shadow.

"The old rule is to set off as soon as the window period comes and decide the outcome based on the road map after the final return."

It was still the greasy middle-aged male voice, Lao Shi reiterated the rules of the competition.

"Can."

Wang Dong readily agreed.

The asteroid belt is always in a flow state.

Because of different sizes and masses, as well as different turbulent trajectories, the celestial bodies in the asteroid belt also move at different speeds.

At the outermost edge of the asteroid belt, there is often a turbulent belt composed of small and microscopic objects.

These small and micro celestial bodies orbit at the periphery of the asteroid belt at relatively high speeds.

They are enough to pose a fatal threat to short-range mining spacecraft with weak armor and thin skin.

Once hit by these high-speed moving celestial bodies, the mining spacecraft cannot withstand a few hits.

If vital parts are damaged, often even the rescue cabin cannot protect the miners' lives.

Therefore, before official mining, mining companies will organize special operation ships to find ways to clean up the turbulence on the outermost edge of this layer.

It is not expected to completely cut off this layer of turbulence.

Under the motion of celestial bodies, that would be too costly.

But it is still necessary to "slim down" this layer of turbulence.

After cleaning, the turbulence in the outermost layer of the asteroid belt will become much sparser, so that for a period of time, there will often be a short "clearance" period.

This is what the miners call the window period.

With the help of the window period, these near-air mining spacecraft of Wang Dong and other miners can safely enter the asteroid belt mining area for operations.

Observation and forecasting during the window period is also one of the main purposes of the existence of the forward base.
