Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 585 - 182: The Past Week_4

Even, Chen Ming found a type of advanced metal material on a planet, Solid Gold.

It is a composite material, also an advanced one, named Gold Essence Crystal, often used in high-precision sensors for various types of combat ships.

The demand is neither too big nor too small.

Although it looks fine, that’s about it.

After all, a few hundred light-years of an extreme jump plus the hundred-plus light-years Chen Ming explored outward doesn’t really mean he’s far from the Empire’s borders.

And in such a place where the Empire’s border, Dusk border, and Mechanical Race border intersect, planets with good resources should have already been discovered.

That planet where the independent existence of the Mechanical Race was already an unexpected surprise.

Now, all he can say is that collecting planetary data and being able to judge their value counts as a success.

Though the number of valuable planets isn’t high, when Chen Ming discovered a planet two weeks ago, he also made a side trip to several valuable planets and star systems discovered this week.

With automatic piloting and the extraordinary, Chen Ming doesn’t need to worry about anything.

Moreover, although he can’t invest too many resources to mine these veins he needs.

But leaving some open-pit mining equipment and Dusk individuals on these planetary veins and conducting some small-scale open-pit mining is always no problem.

Open-pit mining has low difficulty, plus Chen Ming provides various support remotely.

Mining won’t suffer a loss.

Furthermore, in these few days, Chen Ming has learned enough about some simple basic equipment needed for colonies.

As for industrial equipment, he can even transform the Dusk individuals on-site directly, relying purely on spiritual energy for remote maintenance and fuel supply.

Even just exchanging some fuel and spiritual power for some advanced mineral veins isn’t a loss for Chen Ming.

Once Chen Ming makes the next extreme distance jump, prepares to leave, and the boss sells the data of the star systems and planets, he will then withdraw the equipment here.

Anyway, at that time, directly dismantle the equipment and take it away, materials directly transformed for transportation.

Let the Dusk individuals here fly the ships back themselves, or Radiant could pick them up, it doesn’t matter.

Afterwards, if he encounters similarly easily exploitable resource planets, Chen Ming will treat them the same way.

Passing by without picking up something, Chen Ming always feels uncomfortable.

Apart from those four planets with open-pit veins.

The habitable planet is relatively special.

Because it’s a planet dominated by large arthropods.

Simply put, it’s a planet akin to ancient Earth, but without dinosaurs, and instead with insects as the main species.

Chen Ming specially arranged personally, spent some time, caught dozens of various shaped giant insects, intending to feed them to the Insect Queen later.

The Insect Queen remains on the Mechanical Race planet these few days, continuing to expand its population and territory by devouring all sorts of surface and underground creatures and digestible things.

And during these days, besides controlling the Mechanical Race daily, Chen Ming is also attempting to communicate with the Insect Queen to see if he can make it evolve some capabilities voluntarily.

The Insect Queen’s response in consciousness is somewhat blurred, but Chen Ming understood its meaning.

The Thorn Insect Race species is very strong, and their source of strength is their special evolutionary capabilities. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

And this evolutionary capability mainly manifests through combat.

In combat, some insect race individuals show evolution adapting to battle.

These evolutions are extracted, preserved, recorded by the Insect Queen, and then applied to each insect race individual.

And another method, it can actually be considered related to combat too.

The Insect Race instinctively releases the capabilities hidden within their genes during combat, showing the powerful traits deep in their genes.

As for the source of these traits in the genes...

There is only one, eating.
