National Star Sea Era

As soon as I fastened my seat belt, the feeling of weightlessness reached its limit, and then there was a sudden spin.

On the outskirts of Jiangyuan City, the ultra-long-range star sea delivery platform was located. Compared with the huge crowds yesterday, the number of citizens gathered here today was significantly reduced, but there were still nearly 3,000 people.

At this moment, most of the more than 2,000 people present looked worried. This was the worry of parents and elders about their children.

Awakening the Fire Seed and controlling the Fire Airship is indeed a shortcut for everyone to reach the sky in one step and have an extraordinary social status. However, this shortcut is not a broad road, but full of thorns.

Every exploration of an alien space is, to put it nicely, a coexistence of dangers and opportunities. To put it crudely, it is a gamble on life again and again. If the bet is right, you will live, but if the bet is wrong, you will only die.

All the parents present knew this, but they had no choice but to do so because this was one of the few opportunities ordinary people had to make a comeback.

As long as one of the descendants can go a little further on the journey of the Xinhuo Airship, the whole family can benefit from this, and even become a new Xinhuo family, and it is not a problem to easily pass on the inheritance for hundreds or thousands of years.

For ordinary citizens within the strong domain of human civilization, this is a common goal pursued by almost everyone.

Buzz!

Amidst the violent buzzing sound, the parents finally waited for the light beam that lit up the sky again. When the light beam dispersed, there were already nearly a hundred psionic shuttles on the originally empty delivery platform.

It was the first batch of 100 nether energy shuttles launched yesterday, but from a quantitative point of view, only 94 of the 100 people in this batch came back.

"All students will obey the order and immediately fly away from the release platform."

Outside the delivery platform, the instructions from the Xinhuo Bureau operators sounded immediately, and then the psionic energy shuttles began to leave the delivery platform one after another to make room for the psionic energy shuttles that would return later.

…

Nearly two hours later, all the awakened students in Jiangyuan City this time have returned. According to statistics from Jiangyuan Xinhuo Bureau, 1,032 people have successfully awakened in Jiangyuan City this time, 1,032 people have actually received benefits, and 980 people have successfully returned. .

In other words, the number of students who died or fell into the alien star field for unknown reasons is 52.

This is a perfectly normal number, but the atmosphere at the scene is inexplicably heavy, because this is not a simple number, but 52 living lives.

The heavy atmosphere did not stay in the hearts of the students for too long. On the way back to school on the hovercraft, a group of students from the First Xinhuo Academy exchanged ideas excitedly. The "First Xinhuo Academy" led by the academy created In the "255th Class Awakening Students Exchange Group" of the school, the chat was even more lively.

"{Class 10 "Lu Jie"}: How did everyone gain this time?"

"{Class 3 "Zhou Lu"}: Hahaha, I was pretty lucky. I encountered an asteroid belt and mined 30 tons of "uranium ore."

"{Class 4 "Zhang Chao"}: Envy, one ton of uranium ore is worth 8 strands of zero-order floating land source, 30 tons is 240 strands, why did I only find fine iron, and only a pitiful 60 tons or less, woo woo Woo."

"{Class 5 "Sun Hao"}: Envy +1, please help me, boss."

…

After scanning the chat history in the group chat, Song Chi glanced at Sun Hao sitting next to him.

"Haozi, how was your harvest this time?"

Sun Hao whispered while typing on his communication bracelet:

"50 tons of gas ore."

When he heard the word "gas mine", Song Chi's brows jumped slightly and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Gas mine is a high-level resource. It is said that this resource is needed to strengthen some high-quality airship components, so its value has always been very high. Generally, 10 strands of zero-level floating land source can be sold for one ton on the market.

"500 strands of zero-order floating land origin, do you envy others?"

Clicking to close the communication light screen, Sun Hao waved his strong left arm on Song Chi's shoulder, and Sun Hao smiled.

"Brother Chi, you still don't know me. What's the use of being famous in front of others? Being low-key is my life motto!"

Looking down at the opponent's arms, which were thicker than his own thighs, Song Chi really couldn't see how a big man with a height of nearly two meters and a weight of nearly 150 kilograms, who was particularly eye-catching wherever he went, could be so low-key. Are the two words connected?

Ignoring Song Chi's rolling eyes, Sun Hao quickly asked:

"Brother Chi, where are you?"

"Ten tons of mithril."

Song Chi casually pushed out the 10 tons of mithril. It was not that he deliberately concealed it, but that there was really no way to explain the more than 600 tons of copper.

He knew very well that the golden finger of Zhutian Market could not be exposed under any circumstances, otherwise there would be endless trouble waiting for him.

The value of strange objects that can be freely traded with alien civilizations across the Shattered Star Sea is unimaginable.

As for the purple component of the [Atomic Fusion Nuclear Energy Engine], he has no intention of exposing it for the time being. Purple-quality engine components are equally valuable and will inevitably attract prying eyes.

As for whether to keep it for himself or trade it through the black market or the Zhutian Market, he has not yet made a decision.

He prefers to use it himself. The purple-quality engine is enough for him to use for a long time in the future.

At this moment, a somewhat surprising message suddenly appeared in the chat group.

"{Class 1 "Deng Chang"}: Basic components, the blue quality main gun "Superconducting Laser Cannon". If you are interested, please feel free to chat privately. Attached is a JPG of the superconducting laser cannon's attributes."

Superconducting laser cannon lv0

Quality: blue

Consumption: 20/shot (psionic points)

Attack: 15

Charging: 5s; buffering: 10s

Required for upgrade: 3 strands of Floating Land Origin (Level 0), 300 psionic energy points

As soon as this message appeared, the group chat exploded.

"Real or fake? Blue main gun? @Class 1 "Deng Chang", got it during this exploration? Awesome, buddy."

"Damn it, I don't even have a white part, and now the boss comes out with a blue part? Woohoo."

Not only the students, but also the school teachers were alarmed.

"{2 Class Teacher "Huang Guowei"}: @Class 1 Deng Chang, if you really want to take action, we can talk face to face after returning to school."

…

Song Chi's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt a little moved in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Are you stupid? I don't want to keep the blue quality main gun for myself!"

Sun Hao's complaints were heard in his ears, and Song Chi shook his head slightly, not agreeing with his opinion.

"Everyone has his or her own plan. Although the blue quality main gun does amazing damage, if there are not enough resources to strengthen it, it may not be able to survive the next exploration.

But now that he is selling it at a high price, the resources obtained can fully strengthen the nether energy shuttle in all aspects and improve the survival rate of subsequent explorations in foreign stars. There are gains and losses, as long as he thinks it is worth it. "
