Gao Wu: Landing 3,000 Years Into the Future

If there really is a reserve of more than 100 tons of phantom crystals in the depths of the star core below, then this will surely be a huge harvest.

One ton is worth 5 strands of the first-order floating land origin, and 100 tons is 500 strands. Converted to zero-order floating land origin, that is 5,000 strands, which is an astonishing number for a psionic shuttle.

With a hint of excitement, Song Chi put on the exoskeleton device, but even so, after leaving the shuttle, he still felt extremely uncomfortable. It is difficult for ordinary life forms of the zero-order level to adapt to the special environment of the starry sky. This is still with the blessing of exoskeleton armor and the level of its own guidance technique, otherwise it would be even more serious.

The Sky was immediately taken into the Xinhuo Zuqiao, and then the only three remaining fire sunflower soldiers were quickly taken along the hole in the ground and entered the core area of ​​the fragments under his feet.

The diameter of the fragments is only about tens of meters, so the core space is naturally not large. The amazingly long gold-eating vine body piled in the corner makes this already narrow place even more crowded.

Even if the Angry Tiger mining vehicle successfully entered, it would be difficult to work, not to mention that the mining vehicle is still in the Sky cabin. If you want to release it, you have to summon the seven-meter-long Sky from the ancestral fire hole in the center of your eyebrows, which is impossible.

In this regard, Song Chi could only order three Fire Sunflowers to hold special drilling shovels and manually start further excavation and exploration.

Not long after, a few meters from the bottom of a small excavation pit, the Fire Sunflowers successfully discovered a new ore, which was the phantom crystal.

In this regard, Song Chi patted his forehead and made a note to himself in his heart to prevent making such low-level mistakes in the future.

In order to prevent the gold-eating vine from leaving any tricks, and because he himself could not be exposed to the external starry sky environment for a long time, he only let the fire sunflower soldiers come down to clean up. In fact, in addition to the crystal of life, several fire sunflower soldiers also mined more than ten tons of ordinary refined gold from it.

Based on this point, he came in and checked it casually at last. After finding nothing missing, he left directly. However, he did not expect that there were even more phantom crystals hidden deeper under the ten tons of refined gold.

If there were no subsequent reminders from the exploration instrument and the in-vehicle intelligence, he would obviously miss this phantom crystal.

……

The subsequent arrangements were naturally very simple. At least more than one hundred tons of phantom crystals could not be mined manually alone. By the time of return more than ten hours later, it might not be possible to mine half of them.

Song Chi also had a plan to deal with this. He did not stay in this core space for long. After returning to the surface of the fragment with three fire sunflower soldiers, he summoned the Sky and the Angry Tiger mining truck, and then gave the on-board intelligence an order to dig all the way down.

Since the original core space of the fragment could not summon a mining truck, wouldn't it be enough to open a larger entrance from the surface and then enter.

Leaving this mining truck working here, Song Chi drove the Sky back to the place where the first Angry Tiger mining truck was.In the fragments, a few hours later, thousands of tons of refined gold had been mined, and the Sky was used to collect all the refined gold ore in batches to the market, and then he returned with the intact mining car.

The second mining car's work efficiency has dropped significantly now, and Song Chi doesn't know whether it can mine all the phantom crystals before returning tomorrow. He still thinks it would be safer to switch to this intact mining car.

The next day, half an hour before returning, Song Chi, who had been wandering around with the damaged mining car for more than ten hours and harvested one or two hundred strands of zero-level floating land origin minerals, finally drove the Sky back again.

After collecting all the mined 112 tons of phantom crystals into the Zhutian Market, he began to wait quietly.

……

An hour later, at the gate of Dongjiang Community, Song Chi and Chen Lixia got off their respective Xinhuo flying ships.

The Pentium III flying car at home is currently being used by Song Chao, so even if it is a bit high-profile, the two can only drive their own Xinhuo flying ship back. It is too troublesome to call a taxi.

My mother Chen Lixia's ship is a psionic airship named "Dragonfly". It seems that it has been promoted from a shuttle to an airship for several decades. The current level of the airship is stuck at lv19, which is only one step away from the second level.

But don't underestimate the difference of only one level. There is a huge difference between them. This small level is like a natural moat that has blocked countless Xinhuo captains for their entire lives.

To upgrade from a psionic airship to a second-level "Guardian-level" psionic airship, not only some special resources are needed, but also killing alien civilization creatures that are higher than one's own level in the exploration of foreign lands and bathing in the blood of alien races.

It is said that when an airship is upgraded to a flying ship, the success rate is frighteningly low. The initial success rate is only 1%, and investing in specific rare reinforcement resources can increase this success rate to about 10%. If you want to increase the success rate in the future, you must kill aliens in the exploration of alien star fields and baptize the shuttle with the blood of aliens.

The more aliens you kill, the higher the level of the blood of aliens, and the greater the success rate of the upgrade.

"Mom, what is the success rate of the Dragonfly's upgrade now?"

Chen Lixia pursed her lips and gave an answer that Song Chi could not accept.

"24%."

"Less than a quarter, how can it be so low?"

Song Chi frowned. It was okay to upgrade from level 0 to level 1. As long as there were enough resources and luck was not too bad, you could basically succeed in upgrading.

But it was different for a psionic airship to be upgraded to a psionic flying ship. Once the upgrade task was started, there was only one year of preparation time.

In the next year, the captain needs to do his best to improve this success rate, whether it is investing rare resources or entering alien star regions to hunt aliens. In short, after one year, the airship will start to try to upgrade. The airship with a high success rate will naturally have a higher chance of upgrading to a flying ship (second order), and vice versa.

Chen Lixia started the upgrade mission five months ago. Nearly half of a year has passed. He originally thought that with his fatherWith the help of the master, it should be able to increase to more than 30%, or even 40%. After all, my father's ship has been upgraded to the second level for more than ten years, but he never thought that it was only 24%.

Chen Lixia rolled her eyes at her son.

"Do you think it's so easy to upgrade a psionic airship to a psionic flying ship? If the success rate is really that easy to increase, there are more than 20 million people in Jiangyuan City, and there are tens of thousands of registered Xinhuo flying ships. Among them, there will be only dozens of second-level psionic flying ships?"

Song Chi was speechless for a while, but the worry in his eyes has not subsided.

Based on the current progress, if there is no great opportunity, after a year of preparation, the success rate of my mother's Dragonfly will be at most 30%.

This success rate is naturally very high for an ordinary Xinhuo captain, but Song Chi still can't accept it.

It is a common sense in Xinhuo human civilization that all Xinhuo flying ships have only one chance to upgrade each time. There is no such thing as trying again after failure. Once the upgrade fails, the Xinhuo flying ship will sink completely.
