National development: I build a base on rock beasts

Chapter 3 The space beauty who fell from the sky!
"Oh? The size has become longer, and the curvature of the horizon has also slowed down. It seems that the Fire Rock Beast has grown a lot."

After waking up, Duan Ming first checked whether the ground under his feet was stable.

And the Fire Rock Beast did not disappoint him.

Interstellar Creature: Large Fire Rock Beast
Current Level: Level 2

经验值：76点/200点（当前生物建筑数量：2，每10分钟获得2点经验值。吞食岩石可增长体积，且额外获得经验值。）
Body length: 135m
Skills: absolute obedience, link building

Trust Score: 200 (67/100)

Talent: Devouring Rocks, Directed Evolution
Up to level 2, the skill has been increased from only one devouring rock gifted by the system to two.

Building Link allows Firestone to manipulate a non-living structure on its body.

"Building link skill activated, target building: glued plant greenhouse."

The effect of the glue plant greenhouse is to produce glue, which is used to glue other asteroids to the base of the pioneer, thereby increasing the size and area.

The Fire Rock Beast felt a building on its back as if it had become a part of its body, and couldn't help making a "rumbling" sound happily.

The magma-colored lines gradually spread to the greenhouse, and the glue plants that received the heat grew wildly and produced countless glues.

These glues gradually covered the whole body along the lines on the Fire Rock Beast's back, and the surface quickly dried and hardened, as smooth as floor tiles, as if adding a layer of tough skin to the fragile body.

There are not many interstellar creatures like the Fire Rock Beast. The main reason is that the impact of various asteroids often breaks up its fragile body and loses its vital signs.

With this layer of glue, it can resist more violent impacts. As long as the body does not decompose, it can recover by itself even if it is cracked by the impact!
The Huoyan Beast's happy mood is displayed on Duan Ming's development watch through the system.

……

in fact.

Adhesive alone is not enough, even if every piece of asteroids collected can be glued to the development base, ordinary pioneers still cannot capture the asteroids in the distance.

The Union's response to this is to sell "Mine Claw Cannon" and "Expansion Net".

The large structure of the claw cannon can be used like a shark catching gun. It can be retracted with a rope after hitting an asteroid. The advantage is that it is durable. The disadvantage is that the recoil when firing the cannon will push the development base to other locations, and the price is extremely high.

The main reason is that sending a building of this size to the asteroid belt requires a lot of resources, and since the Earth has an atmosphere, it is more difficult to launch large rockets. It can only be purchased from star ports on other planets, and the shipping costs are higher.

The expansion net can cover the asteroid and glue it immediately. After that, the pioneer only needs to approach the captured asteroid and apply glue.The advantage is that it is simple, convenient and cheap, but the disadvantage is that it is not resistant to consumption, and it will break after one or two uses.

But Duan Ming has Fire Rock Beast.

As an interstellar creature, the Fire Rock Beast is born with a biological engine, and moves slowly in the asteroid belt by controlling gravity.

In this way, Duan Ming saved the money to buy the mining claw cannon.

However, two expansion nets are still prepared for backup, in case there are excellent celestial bodies drifting by and I am unable to capture them.

……

Turn on the radar and scan for nearby asteroids.

Fan spar, burning rock, dry coke rock, anorthosite, oberite, borax, ice crystal ore...Ores that could only be seen in textbooks and demonstration videos in the past are now within reach.

The building required to extract these minerals is larger than the claw cannon, and at least [-] square meters must be reserved on the development base.And asteroids are inherently irregular in shape, and it is still a long way for most pioneers to set aside such a large solid and stable area.

But Duan Ming has a better way.

"Fire Rock Beast, taste every mineral, and then report the evolution option to me."

Yes, every time you level up, the Fire Rock Beast can choose an evolution option. Whether it grows into a large mining space station or becomes a large interstellar biological battleship, the Fire Rock Beast has unlimited possibilities.

……

Thanks to the Air Shield Generator.

The hum of the resource recovery machine, the crackling of the fruit of the glued plant, and the rumbling of the blood of the rock beast are all clearly audible.

Cnidarian Fortresses are biological structures that also make a sound like bubbling.

[Spiked Jet: Jet out high-speed bone spikes at a slower frequency, attacking distant enemies]

……

Duan Ming opened the chat area, and various pioneers were exchanging ideas.

"What a pity! I just saw a super-sized asteroid, but I didn't bring the expansion net with me, so I just let it float by!"

"The expansion network is very cheap. You have to bring a few even if you have no money. The same is true for the ground connection. Why can't you give us a few expansion networks as standard."

"The Earth Alliance only needs your scientific research data. They only care about the admirals of the star ports. Who cares about your life and death as a small pioneer like you?"

"Wild crystal star beasts were found wandering around star map K7635Z2, brothers nearby, be careful."

"I forgot to turn on the sunscreen when I first left the base. Now my scalp is red and my hair is starting to fall out. What should I do!?"

Those who complained, those who didn’t learn well enough to ask questions now, those who regretted it, and those who encountered star beasts and were attacked as soon as they landed, the encounters of the pioneers were different.

Duan Ming looked up at the sky, recalling what happened to him.

"Wait? What's that in the sky?"

As soon as he looked up, Duan Ming saw a strangely shaped celestial body about a kilometer away, the outline of which looked like a space capsule!
He quickly took out the binoculars and saw that the space capsule was as round as a chicken, and there was a handsome woman in the light green translucent life-saving liquid. She was wearing what looked like ancient armor, or it might be a life-supporting device.

The structure of this space capsule is different from any survival capsule Duan Ming has learned, and the color of the life-vitamin liquid is also unheard of, but he immediately decided to save it!

Although I don't know how the space capsule drifted to the asteroid belt, but if it continues to wander around, it will hit an asteroid sooner or later and rupture!
The people inside are extremely dangerous now!

"Fire Rock Beast, have you seen that space capsule? Come closer!"

The magma-like blood of the Fire Rock Beast made a rumbling sound again, indicating that it knew.

"Hurry up, can you go faster! Cnidarian turret, shoot spikes towards the rear! Use the recoil to accelerate the Fire Rock Beast!"

The cnidarian turret listened to the order, changed direction, and fired the spikes.

The Fire Rock Beast approached little by little, causing ripples in the gravitational field.
