Can My Battleship Be Upgraded?

At this depth, Wang Dong searched for more than thirty hours.

The harvest is three units of low-level energy crystals.

As for other ores, except for the one hundred tons of titanium ore, Wang Dong did not take action.

To save time.

The endurance of near-air mining spacecraft is generally not very strong.

After all, it is near-air mining, and both safety and logistics supply coefficients are quite high.

Too high battery life is unnecessary, and it will also occupy limited space, reduce cargo capacity, and reduce cost performance.

Energy crystals are really rare minerals.

Compared with the reserves of other ores, which can easily reach hundreds of tons, energy crystallization is measured in units.

The specific quantity of one unit of energy crystal depends on the energy contained in it, which cannot exceed one kilogram at most.

It's such a small piece that it's really difficult for ordinary miners to operate.

Wang Dong discovered these three units of energy crystal inside an aurite ore.

Large mining drill bits, medium mining drill bits and small mining drill bits were used successively to peel them off. Finally, after being put into the cargo hold, they were stripped off with a manual alloy hammer.

The whole journey took more than ten hours.

After finishing, Wang Dong let out a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat.

The minimum harvest goal is considered achieved.

The long period of continuous work made Wang Dong mentally and physically overwhelmed.

Although the harvest could only meet the expected minimum standard, Wang Dong still chose to stop.

When his condition is not high, Wang Dong needs to be more careful when flying the spacecraft.

The more times like this, the less we can lower our demands because of fatigue.

After cautiously exiting the mining area, Wang Dong stopped for a moment at the edge, waiting for the next window of opportunity to arrive.

The astronomical environment at the edge is much better than in the depths.

Only then did Wang Dong dare to relax and rest for a while.

The window period was not too long. After a few hours, Wang Dong successfully left the mining area and returned to the forward base.

Sister Liya was still on duty. After Wang Dong inquired for a while, he found that Lao Shi had already come out of the mining area and would go back after admitting defeat.

In the absence of Wang Dong's deliberate mischief, Lao Shi avoided death last time and sounded a lot more honest.

This is a good change, and Wang Dong is satisfied with it.

A hidden danger was eliminated.

Wang Dong only needs Lao Shi to be honest for a while.

This little trouble can be solved at any time in the future.

Without staying at the forward base for long, Wang Dong quickly embarked on the return journey.

After leaving the mining area, the autopilot function can be enabled again.

On the way back, Wang Dong encountered a patrol team.

There are four teams in total for the daily patrols inside the mining star field.

Each team consists of three warships, including two fire reconnaissance ships and one assault ship.

The channel from KQ-03 to the asteroid belt mining area is one of the key sections of the patrol team, and its safety is quite guaranteed.

Wang Dong watched the three battleship formations passing by calmly, without any wavering in his eyes.

In the past, Wang Dong would be quite excited and full of longing when seeing these battleships.

Not only because of the ferocious muzzle of the battleship and the solid hull protected by solid armor.

Romance with men.

What's more, Wang Dong thought that it was the carrier for his golden finger to be officially activated.

After his rebirth, Wang Dong was completely indifferent to these battleships.

"The combat power evaluation is just a soldier-level battleship."

This type of battleship does not meet the requirements of the system.

They have no growth potential.

This is a principled and tasteful auxiliary system.

Although it has never shown any intelligence.

After all, it is just an auxiliary system and is not responsible for such important responsibilities as selling cute words to promote the plot.

Re-dock the Mining Master II back to the mining company's parking lot.

Intelligent settlement equipment automatically sorts, screens, crushes and refines the ores in the cargo hold.

Wang Dong's final income cannot be settled until the entire process is completed.

No need to wait all the time, the entire process is recorded and can be viewed at any time.

In this regard, the creditworthiness of mining companies is still good.

It's not a matter of conscience.

In terms of profit distribution, mining companies themselves account for the majority.

Miners not only have to pay the rental fee for the mining spacecraft, but also bear the cost of processing and refining the minerals. In the end, the mining company must purchase the finished products.

After the whole process, the average miner basically works for the mining company and earns some hard-earned money.

Unless you collect valuable minerals like titanium ore, you will have considerable income.

Carrying the low-level energy crystals of those three units, Wang Dong walked leisurely on the streets of the KQ-03 living area.

As far as low-grade energy crystals are concerned, the purchase price offered by the mining company is not low, but Wang Dong's next plan has a key point that must use this thing.

Strictly speaking, these low-level energy crystals are a violation of the contract agreement signed with the mining company.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as it is not traded on the market, it will not attract the attention of mining companies.

Given that mining companies’ purchase prices for energy crystals are no lower than the market price, this has rarely happened before.

For ordinary people, energy crystals are completely useless.
