National development: I build a base on the rock beast

"Boss! It exploded! It exploded!"

Duan Ming was woken up by his companions early the next morning, and the first sentence he heard shocked him.

Duan Ming suddenly jumped up from the rocking chair, looked around and asked: "Is there an enemy coming? Where did the explosion happen?"

The companions all stared at Duan Ming like a fool, with no concealment of the meaning in their eyes.

My boss’s IQ is really annoying sometimes!

Bai Xianglu walked to Duan Ming and reminded him in a low voice.

"Didn't you say in the chat area yesterday that we were recruiting people? Everyone's private chats were filled with resumes!"

Duan Ming was stunned for a moment, then opened his own chat area to chat privately. The next moment, the private chat system gave Duan Ming a prompt that made him laugh or cry.

"Due to your excessive private messages, the system temporarily crashed. Please be patient and wait for the repair."

Half an hour later, after Duan Ming contacted Captain Lin Dengwan, the system was repaired immediately, which also caused Lin Dengwan to complain.

"You fucking want to build a private army? Hold it back!"

All the private messages of Duan Ming and his friends have been repaired. A rough calculation shows that there were as many as 2,000 pioneers who submitted their resumes to them yesterday night!

You must know that the number of pioneers in the entire seventh domain is only about 10,000, and one-third of the pioneers are attached to the Han family.

"Boss, how many people should we take this time?"

Regarding the number of people, Duan Ming had already made plans.

A medium-sized warship has a standard crew of fifty people, and the two ships have a total of one hundred people. In addition, Duan Ming is also planning to recruit an additional twenty people. The size of the fire rock beast is getting larger and larger, and the weapons and equipment on it are also getting bigger and bigger. There are more and more, and it is no longer enough to master them all with just one interstellar computer.

"You will review the resumes in each private letter, select 200 people from them, and sort them out for me."

After hearing Duan Ming's arrangement, everyone dispersed and looked at the resumes of the pioneers.

In half a day, Duan Ming received the resumes of 200 candidates submitted by his partners.

"Boss, let me tell you, it would be great if we just collected them all! Just buy dozens more warships and assemble two warships. If the Cheng family comes, we won't be afraid of them in a head-on fight!"

Duan Ming shook his head helplessly and explained.

"Right now, the resources we have, one hundred and twenty people are already the limit. Newly recruited members will still need a period of adaptation and examination. Our Duan family has only one idea, it is better to lack than to waste!"

From the two hundred resumes, Duan Ming finally identified 120 people, personally replied to them private messages, and sent them the coordinates of the Fire Rock Beast's location, asking them to arrive as soon as possible.

…

It would take a few days for these newly recruited pioneers to arrive. During this time, Duan Ming and others re-integrated the weapons and equipment on the fire rock beasts and ice crystal beasts.

Under Bai Xianglu's development, the Fire Rock Beast now has ten starship main guns, hundreds of laser turrets, and the number of self-propelled star-breaking mines in reserve is around thirty.

Partners have also added some appropriate weapons to their respective development bases, most of which are used for defense.

"How is the development of the super-light energy cannon going?"

In addition to resting these days, Bai Xianglu works next to the mineral compressor. Whatever shape and size of metal she needs, Tang Yaqing helps her shape it. The two of them work together very well.

Bai Xianglu raised her hand to wipe her sweat, and replied without raising her head: "We still need to adjust the last few details, and we can assemble it soon."

Hearing what Bai Xianglu said, Duan Ming simply squatted here. Although he couldn't help much, he could at least accompany them.

Half an hour later, Bai Xianglu took a deep breath and stood up slowly.

Perhaps because she had been squatting on the ground for too long, Bai Xianglu suddenly stood up and felt dizzy and fell backwards. Fortunately, Duan Ming had quick eyes and quick hands and stepped forward to help her.

Looking at Bai Xianglu's somewhat pale face, Duan Ming said distressedly: "Let's rest for a while, don't worry about the weapon."

Bai Xianglu shook her head. Although her face was full of exhaustion, the sense of accomplishment in her eyes was not inferior at all.

"I'm done with my busy work. It's not too late to take a rest after trying the effect."

Connect the assembled super-light energy cannon to the interstellar computer. The computer calculates something quickly and gives a conclusion after a long time.

"No loopholes were found to allow for a shell launch attempt."

A long-lost smile finally appeared on Bai Xianglu's face. She turned her head and glanced at Tang Yaqing. Tang Yaqing understood and raised her right hand. The first mixed metal shell she had forcibly fused rose from the ground and slowly entered. The barrel of the hyperluminal energy cannon.

The shells used by ordinary super-light energy cannons are made of specially processed energy-concentrating materials. Because the super-steel-plastic energy cannon fires extremely fast, shells made of ordinary materials simply cannot withstand such speeds.

But Tang Yaqing proposed to use the metal ball at her fusion point as a cannonball.

Tang Yaqing can control the size of the metal ball at will, and there is no problem with the size of the cannonball. In terms of material, the metal ball is made of rare metals, and its hardness is no less than that of energy-gathering materials.

I just don't know if this super-light energy cannon can withstand the launch of this mixed metal shell.

Let the fire rock beast stay away from this mining area temporarily, and will not stop until the distance between the two sides reaches five thousand meters.

Aiming the super-light energy cannon at the mining area, Duan Ming pressed the start button on the interstellar computer under the gaze of everyone.

The next moment, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread out in all directions, centered on the super-light energy cannon.

"boom!"

Even when it is launched, it can cause such a huge roar, which shows its power.

Almost at the moment when the super-light energy cannon was launched, the Fire Rock Beast, which had been prepared, still quickly retreated due to the huge energy, and barely stopped until 500 meters away.

The mixed metal cannonball flew out of the barrel, drawing a perfect arc in the universe at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

However, in the blink of an eye, the shell hit the mining area, but to everyone's surprise, the mining area did not react and was still floating quietly in that area.

"What happened? Could it have failed?"

Just when Tang Yaqing finished speaking, a glint flashed in Bai Xianglu's eyes.

"No! It worked!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, they understood the meaning of Bai Xianglu's words.

It turned out that the penetrating power of the mixed metal shell was too strong, it directly pierced the mining belt and stayed in the center of the mining belt.

Because the launch speed is extremely fast, and when it penetrates the mining area, it generates a huge impact. Inside the mixed metal, the original repulsive force of various rare metals reaches its peak in an instant.

"Boom!"

A loud noise, more than ten times louder than the previous launch, came from the mining area, and then the entire mining area shattered into pieces under the explosion of the mixed metal barrel!
