Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 584 - 182: The Past Week_3

Disassemble components from other Mechanical Race corpses, then reinstall them, and it’s done.

If it doesn’t work, Chen Ming might just not install those nanorobots.

His own spiritual energy can replace the function of these nanorobots.

Regarding the design of the Mechanical Race... one can only say that the Empire, on its path of expansion, has already integrated many Mechanical Race designs into its own related textbooks.

For Chen Ming, learning it isn’t difficult.

Thus, the task of transporting the Mechanical Race using his spiritual energy was accomplished much earlier than transporting the Insect Race using his spiritual energy.

But living organisms have aspects that machinery cannot emulate.

Therefore, even though Chen Ming is progressing slowly in learning the biological technology related to the Insect Race, he can still accept it.

After all, he only spent his relatively short evening time.

However, the combined time of morning, afternoon, and evening is not short at all, and it’s actually quite packed.

It indeed gave Chen Ming a lot of pressure.

But once he gets used to it, the rest doesn’t matter.

Moreover, although very busy, Chen Ming still forced out some time to visit the star system where Dusk discovered a habitable planet the week before last.

Entering the atmosphere of that habitable planet, he multitasked and controlled the Supreme Point for several high-powered scans during his study.

He even arranged for robots controlled by Dusk individuals to conduct multiple surveys of the planet’s soil, water quality, atmosphere, and various local organisms at different latitudes and longitudes.

The final result, one can say the planet is alright, unlike the relatively dangerous Rimu Star, it can be rated as a Level 4 planet.

But the star system where the planet is located is not satisfactory, according to the survey data on other planets within the star system that Chen Ming sent to the boss.

The boss’s response was that assigning this star system a Level 3 rating is barely adequate because, except for the habitable planet, there’s almost no exploitable resource within the star system.

It’s a bit unfortunate, but still acceptable.

After all, Chen Ming doesn’t plan to build a colony here, so someone will be interested in a Level 4 habitable planet standing there.

Even if this star system is outside the Dusk Star Realm, it doesn’t matter.

Because Chen Ming heard some special news from Old Wu a few days ago.

The Empire has been in a standoff with the main forces of Dusk on the front lines for a long time, and seems to intend to shift focus towards the Gallo Star Realm.

And Chen Ming still clearly remembers what Brilliant once told him.

The moment the Empire truly turns its iron fist towards here, is the moment the countdown to Dusk’s life in this star realm commences.

If the Dusk here is wiped out, then the star systems in this star realm, which have inherent value but are lower due to Dusk’s existence, will naturally return to their appropriate value.

However, Chen Ming understands that even a slight movement of such a massive Empire undoubtedly requires a lot of time.

The Empire won’t start taking action against this Dusk Star Realm so soon.

Thus, Chen Ming still has some time, relying on those Dusk individuals who barely survived the internal massacre within Dusk to accomplish some tasks.

Certainly not now, as he still has things to learn, explore, and build colonies.

The star data Chen Ming collects during exploration will first be kept by the boss, and won’t be sold immediately.

The boss will wait until Chen Ming has explored further, when people and Dusk have moved on, to handle this data, so as not to affect Chen Ming’s tasks.

Aside from the week before last when Chen Ming’s Dusk was investigating the surrounding star systems.

In the past week, Chen Ming’s Dusk continued to explore outward.

And just at the start of the last week, the star port at the temporary base was just completed.

Under Brilliant’s planning, the entire star port can support a maximum number of ships constantly launching and landing.

In the past week, all star systems within a radius of 110 light-years around Chen Ming’s temporary base, with potential habitable planets, have been fully surveyed.

The efficiency is indeed very high.

Although as the exploration distance expands later, efficiency will certainly decline.

Additionally, some places have emerged where Chen Ming’s Supreme Point needs to explore to clear superspace channels.

Continuing outward, the likelihood of encountering superspace clouds blocking channels will increase.

Later on, Supreme Point might have to work 24 hours to pave the way for ships behind.

Luckily, Supreme Point has an automatic driving system and Extraordinary stays on board, so there shouldn’t be too much trouble.

As for declining efficiency, Chen Ming can only say this is a part of the journey of exploration, it’s something one must go through, and it’s manageable once accustomed.

And in this week, amidst the exploration within 110 light-years around the temporary base.

The results discovered by Dusk individuals remain less than ideal, similar to last week.

Even though the search scope has doubled, the search area has increased several fold.

Ultimately, Chen Ming found only one habitable planet.

However, there are four other planets with easily discoverable open-pit mineral veins.

These four planets together almost perfectly cover the mineral veins of basic metals like iron, aluminum, tungsten that Chen Ming will very much need for building colonies later.
