Reborn Mecha Master

Twenty-four hours after the battle video was released, Zheng Cheng specifically contacted the spaceships heading to other mining stars. When he learned that those spaceships had not encountered the starry sky pirates, he felt slightly at peace.

"How's it going? I'm right, the Starry Sky Pirates don't care what kind of mecha you use, they only focus on the results." Xu Yuanliang said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Zheng Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Although this Xu Yuanliang is nearly forty years old, he is a talkative person. Once he grasps something, he will talk about it without any scruples. Zheng Cheng sometimes can't stand his chatter.

If he took over the conversation now, he would definitely talk for more than half an hour.

Zheng Cheng quickly shut his mouth and did not dare to take the conversation.

Lin Tao smiled and said nothing. In later generations, he had read no less than twenty novels about the Starry Sky Pirates, and he understood Xu Yuanliang's mentality very well.

As a starry sky pirate, there is no safety at all. Maybe today I can drink and chat with my teammates, but once there is a battle, the next moment will be a farewell, so Xu Yuanliang needs this kind of chattering to release the pressure in his heart.

For this kind of person, the best way is to let him release himself at the appropriate time.

Of course, Lin Tao would not be the target of his chatter.

Seeing that neither Lin Tao nor Zheng Cheng took up the conversation, Xu Yuanliang was quite bored. However, just because no one took up the conversation, it did not mean that he had nothing to say: "You have released two videos before. As long as you combine this video, Xingkong The pirates can all guess the model of the mecha, but if they can guess it, they don't worry too much and can only hope that they won't encounter that mecha in the next battle."

"But once we do encounter them, they will not retreat. Death is a common occurrence for the Starry Sky Pirates. If my mecha hadn't been far away, I wouldn't be standing in front of you now." Xu Yuanliang said. .

Zheng Cheng felt a headache after hearing these words. He had heard these words more than once or twice.

Lin Tao secretly shook his head. Seeing that Xu Yuanliang was still planning to continue talking, he quickly opened his mouth and changed the topic: "How long until we reach the No. 5 mining star?"

Zheng Cheng quickly walked to the radar screen, and after a while of operation, he zoomed in on the nearby star map. After taking a look, he said, "According to our speed, we should be able to arrive in fifteen hours."

Lin Tao nodded.

At this time, Xu Yuanliang finally shut his mouth obediently and listened quietly to the two people talking. Zheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

There are two types of planets that become mineral stars. One is a planet suitable for habitation, and the other is a pure mineral star that is not even suitable for human survival.

Fortunately for the latter, once you have the corresponding technology, you can directly mine the mineral resources on the planet. The former is a bit tricky. After all, humans have discovered many planets during this period, and there are not many planets suitable for human habitation. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the mineral sources. If the mineral sources are more important and the amount of minerals is large, it almost occupies Large-scale mining will only occur if more than half of the planet is occupied, otherwise it will still be treated as a habitable planet.

According to the data, among the five mineral stars in the Mingyuan Star Territory, the first four are planets belonging to the latter. Two of them are even composed of a single mineral source, and the No. 5 mineral star is quite special. This planet Obviously belongs to the former.

In other words, Mineral Planet No. 5 is a planet suitable for human habitation.

After this planet was reported to the Interstellar Federation, the mining team conducted multiple rounds of surveys before deciding to mine the planet. The mining period is only one hundred years. After one hundred years, no matter how many mineral resources are mined, the planet will be defined as a habitable planet. At that time, a large number of immigrants will move to it, becoming the successor to the Mingyuan Star in the Mingyuan Star Territory. , the second inhabited planet.

However, in later data, Mineral Planet No. 5 has never been able to become an inhabited planet.

Because a relatively special mineral resource has been discovered on this planet. There are only a few planets found in the entire interstellar federation that can produce this kind of resource. Therefore, the No. 5 mineral star has always been classified as a mineral star in later generations of data.

This special resource, called a guide stone, is an excellent conductor. It can not only conduct electricity, but can even directly guide and transmit the energy from the energy block.

After humans entered space and began to explore, energy sources have also been updated and iterated, from the initial liquid energy to fuel cells. However, no matter which energy method is used, it is not suitable for mechas.

The design of the mecha focuses on lightweight and small size. If it is just because the energy part occupies most of the body's volume, it would be better to directly use a starship or spaceship to conduct space battles.

With the emergence of new energy sources, this problem has been solved.

Energy block is a new type of energy that combines extraterrestrial resources. A body using this energy only needs a small space and does not need to worry about heat dissipation, leakage and other subsequent troubles. It can supply energy extremely stably and convert it into energy. Electrical energy for use by the body.

It's a pity that the energy block is a kind of energy that can be used directly. After being converted into electrical energy, its efficiency is greatly reduced. A single block can only drive the mecha for four to six hours.

Even the new energy blocks that Lin Tao took out can only be regarded as relatively average energy blocks in future generations. But if they are only used to convert electrical energy, this is definitely the biggest waste of energy blocks.

The emergence of the guide stone freed the energy block from this dilemma and also enabled the mecha to develop towards modularization.

Guide stones not only replace the status of cables and wires, but also allow humans to understand how to directly use the energy from energy blocks.

"Guiding Stone." Lin Tao's eyes narrowed into a thin line.

Lin Tao's goal when he came to Mine Star No. 5 this time was to analyze the guide stone so that the modular body could appear in advance.

Although the modular body is not as good as the optical circuit body of the thinking model, it is still a more advanced body than the mechanical model. Once this kind of body can be produced, not to mention Lin Tao, who has taken the genetic enhancement drug, It can also be easily used to deal with large numbers of starships.

One day passed.

The spacecraft arrived at the outskirts of Mineral Star No. 5.

Viewed from the starry sky, the shape of Ore Planet No. 5 is very strange. Different from ordinary oval-shaped planets, it has a flat spindle shape, like two saucers snapping together, like a super large spaceship.

Regarding the No. 5 Ore Star, Lin Tao had only seen written records in later generations' materials, not even a picture. When he saw the appearance of the No. 5 Ore Star, he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Lin Tao." Zheng Cheng came over: "We will land in ten minutes."

Lin Tao nodded and turned back to the captain's seat. Unlike large starships, ordinary spaceships and smaller spacecrafts do not have large buffer systems. When entering or leaving the starry sky, you need to sit in your seat and buckle your seat belt.

Just like when Lin Tao suddenly flew into the interior of the planet from the improved Tianjia God General, his body was almost squeezed into a meat pie.

After sitting down, Lin Tao asked: "Where will we land?"

"We landed at position No. 7." Zheng Cheng said, clicking on the radar screen with both hands, and zooming in on the No. 5 ore star. The No. 7 position was three-quarters of the way to the left above the No. 5 ore star.

Ore Star No. 5, due to its special shape, is divided into sixteen areas, bounded by the place where two saucers interlock, with eight areas on the top and eight areas on the bottom.

The place where the spaceship is going to land is the seventh area above.

"After confirming the mineral star, the entire planet needs to be shielded to avoid attracting the pirates in the sky, so the mineral star is almost isolated from the outside world."

At this time, Xu Yuanliang found a rare opportunity to interject, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha~~ If I guessed correctly, the people of Mine Star No. 5 probably don't know that you have captured Mingyuan Star."

Zheng Cheng nodded: "On Mineral Star No. 5, the Davis family, the Wang family, and the Interstellar Federation each occupy two shares. The remaining ten areas belong to the Liu family, and the Liu family themselves occupy three shares, and the other five The shares were resold to the five underground forces in Mingyuan Star."

Lin Tao frowned slightly. Such things were not recorded in later generations' data.

"Location No. 7 is exactly the area of ​​our Blood Wolf Gang. If we want to seize the entire mining star, we need to deal with other forces in the mining star." Zheng Cheng explained: "Among these forces, the Davis family, the Wang family The family, the Interstellar Federation, and the Liu family are all forces with large backgrounds, and the number of engineering mechas they possess is very large, while our five major underground forces are not only scarce in engineering mechas, but also inefficient."

"Haha~ Do you really think that the Liu family is a fool and would sell the mining rights of a mineral star?" Xu Yuanliang laughed again on the spot: "This is because of the pressure of the Interstellar Federation, they have to sell the area. Go, otherwise the Interstellar Federation will further encroach on the territory of the mining star. Although it was only resold to your five major underground forces, it was also with the tacit approval of the Interstellar Federation, otherwise how could you have the opportunity to obtain one of them?"

Zheng Cheng was stunned.

Lin Tao frowned slightly and said nothing.

There are a lot of historical records about mineral stars in later generations. The Interstellar Federation occupies almost half of the mining rights of every mineral star. There are also many situations like the No. 5 mineral star, but the premise is that the mineral star The discoverer belongs to a wealthy family.

And some wealthy forces have secretly concealed the existence of many mineral stars to avoid attracting the Interstellar Federation's intervention.

As he spoke, the spacecraft began to land.

As the spacecraft landed, the huge screen in the center of the bridge also showed the appearance of Mineral Star No. 5.

This planet, like a normal inhabited planet, is also covered with an atmosphere. After entering the atmosphere, a patch of emerald green suddenly appeared inside the planet, which was a thriving forest.

The potholes around it are resource points that are being exploited.
