Start with Mechanical Hunter

Concentrated scorching rock (secondary energy ore): a product of mutation between high-temperature energy rays and minerals. Concentrated scorching rock is a close relative of ordinary scorching rock, but its mineral content is 15% higher than the latter.

I am a big muscle tyrant, controlling the mechanical octopus claws. I hold this large piece of burning ore in my hand. I can feel the high temperature of the other person through the mecha cabin. I wait for it to be carefully loaded into a special vehicle. In the meantime, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Big Muscle Master collected three more special ores such as 'Mortal Crystal Stone', 'Water Soul Sand', and 'Silicon-based Black Rock'. Among them, the hardness of Mortal Crystal Stone is comparable to that of special alloys, and Water Soul Sand is being manufactured. In terms of energy carriers, it can increase energy adaptability by 10%, and 'Silicon-based black rock' is an edible ore from which macromolecular silicon-property compounds can be extracted, which is one of the standard foods for silicon-based life.

By the way, silicon-based black rock is also a material for manufacturing exploratory robots.

The mining process was uneventful. I did not encounter any space monsters and was successfully returned to the industrial ship.

The deck of the industrial ship has long been piled with energy ores, and five energy mine furnaces as large as swimming pools have been built and are burning with intense fire.

"Hey, you collected 'Silicon-based Black Rock'?" the NPC who handed out the reward, a bald doctor, said in surprise.

"Uh, does this have any effect?" I, the big muscle tyrant, asked curiously.

The doctor shook his head and did not answer, but just added 200 points to him.

After most of the energy ores pass through the energy incinerator, the energy is extracted, synthesized, and compressed into energy plates. This is not an advanced technology. It is basically industrial manufacturing, and everyone has a set of hands; and after these energy plates are synthesized, they are easily The conveyor belt passed through various industrial modules and was sent to the fire warehouse. The mechanical arm was embedded into the surface of the fire warehouse. Soon, the light with energy ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 lit up.

And among the hundreds of fire warehouses, they were all extinguished fires. As energy was filled, they began to glow slightly.

"Silicon-based black rock?" Du Zhaodi, who was dressed in white factory clothes, quickly noticed this special type of ore and was stunned for a moment.

"Asteroids contain silicon-based life?"

"Probably not."

The bald expert, Dr. Rong, a robot production expert, shook his head and said: "According to the analysis of shipboard intelligence, the probability that this place was once an interstellar battlefield is 32.1%. It may be a civilized fleet encircling and suppressing interstellar pirates, or it may be two An encounter with a civilized fleet, or a civil war among interstellar pirates. In short, a large-scale interstellar war once developed here. The vehicles, robots, and shipwrecks left behind, these machines gradually decomposed, and with the passage of time , turned into various metal ores and energy ores."

"As for this silicon-based black rock, it is probably the product of robot fragments interacting with cosmic radiation."

"Is that so?" Du Zhaodi said in surprise. It was also her first time leaving the planet, and she felt as confused as a country girl entering the city.

Dr. Rong touched his nose and said with some guilt: "Actually, I'm not sure. These are all in the planet host. I don't know whether the information about this is true or false."

But soon he became excited again.

"However, these silicon-based black rocks are the best body material for mechanical life. As long as they can be collected in large quantities, we can produce the body of a fire machine. My preliminary estimate is that as long as there are enough materials, we can resurrect 1,000 fire lives within half a year."

Du Zhaodi nodded. As the female boss of three industrial templates, she knew the production efficiency of robots better than anyone else. She seemed to have thought of something and said:

"But the main reason why we stay here is to clean up the waterway. Once enough robots are produced, we will clean up the waterway immediately."

"Understood!" Dr. Rong nodded, looked left and right, and said: "Where's Mr. G? I want to resurrect the fire life. He can help me a little."

"He said he would go out to collect information and come back in about a month," Du Zhaodi said calmly.

…

At this time, someone Gao was collecting information outside Area 1.

In the eyes of outsiders, the meteorite sea is almost the same, but in the eyes of Gao Gong, it is completely different. Energy frequency, spatial fluctuations, mechanical information residues, and even subtle changes in physical rules are all reflected on Gao Gong's biological computer. .

This is why only those who have reached the second level can be called interstellar warriors, not only because of their combat power, but also because of their various senses of outer space. This kind of sense is very important for survival in outer space. For example, in this interstellar Garbage dump, once important information is missed, the price will be fatal.

Gao Gong knew from his previous life that there were several large and small interstellar garbage dumps in this meteorite belt. In his previous life, the Machine Split Star failed to resist the cyber tide, and the Ark set off in a hurry. Due to lack of energy, it parked here for a short time. , that is, through 'picking up garbage', so that the 'Noah's Ark' can obtain enough materials and energy.

However, the 'Noah's Ark' did not take me with it in the end, because it was a very coincidental and very unlucky collision with an interstellar pirate. The ship ran away directly, and at that time, I, and another female player Tick, were Picking up trash outside.

So the two of them were successfully captured by interstellar pirates, and after demonstrating excellent neural programming technology, they became temporary employees of interstellar pirates.

That's right, the sixth-level virtual veteran worked as an interstellar pirate for a period of time before selling movies across the universe. Looking at it now, this is more or less a dark history.

This is why Senior Engineer knows about the pirate underground communications in this sector, because he is responsible for operating the pirate ship's liaison station.

But later, as he and Dida quietly completed the consciousness uploading, they successfully escaped in a smuggling space station, ending this game experience.

…

In Gao Gong's memory, in addition to being an interstellar garbage dump, more importantly, there are several private space stations here, which are also the points for selling stolen goods by interstellar pirates. However, the pirate leaders did not tell him the specific coordinates. , he just came here to try his luck.

No such luck turned out.

However, during the return journey, Gao Gong unexpectedly gained something.

"This thing - a civilian salvage device?"

What the senior engineer has in hand at this time is a mechanical version of a large 'searchlight'. There is no lamp head in the lampshade. Instead, it is a complex laser emitting probe. This is used to emit a 'tractor beam'. The reason why it is a civilian version , because its range is only 3000m, which is not at the same level as the tractor beam on the spacecraft that can easily reach 10km.

And this thing is mostly used for archeology.

…

Civilian salvage equipment: This is a special scanner that can be used to check whether there are any objects that can be salvaged in the wreckage of the ship.

Activating energy consumption: 100 points

Volume: 3.5m3

Obtain success rate: 2%

Technology level: Level 2 civilization

Best range: 3000m

Action time: 180s

Energy plugin: None

Damage rate: 74.5%

This was a second-grade low-grade salvage device, originating from the depression of a meteorite. However, the senior engineer did not see the body, and it was probably destroyed by the ashes.

Among such battlefield relics, apart from salvagers and star thieves, the most common ones are interstellar archaeologists. These people are composed of different civilizations and different races. They are very sensitive to everything related to ancient civilizations. Interesting; if it is really the equipment of an archaeologist, it means that this interstellar battlefield is very old, at least on the order of hundreds of millions of years.

However, for senior engineers, this information is useless. Only civilized forces are interested in the collection of this kind of 'archaeological information', because they can use this kind of information to deduce the level of this ancient civilization and the direction of technological development; But today's senior engineers don't even have a stable base, let alone the development of civilization.

Barely enough, I didn’t leave empty-handed.

…

In a vacuum, Gao Gong's speed is very fast, and because there is no air, there is not even a sonic boom. Just like some spaceships flying, they can only see a thin line passing by. If a meteorite hits the front, it will directly The body is shattered.

However, engineers can do this, but if it is a spacecraft, they absolutely cannot do this.

Firstly, the spacecraft is not as strong as the hardened body of a skilled engineer. The damage of one part may cause the spacecraft to explode.

Second, even the lowest-level spacecraft has the speed of light as standard, but this is a speed that senior engineers cannot reach now. At the speed of light, let alone physical objects, even changes in the star field environment , may cause a spacecraft crash, and this kind of crash is basically incompetent. Even in the current physical state of the senior engineer, in the case of a crash at the speed of light, it is a standard death without a whole body, and there is no chance of being saved at all. .

Therefore, clearing the waterway is the first major event in space navigation.
