Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 12 Transformation

After seeing the three options displayed on the panel.

Chen Ming finally understood that the appearance of this [Transformation] option was indeed related to the book he had read before.

These three options are all contained in the "Spaceship Modification Manual" that Chen Ming had read.

[Advanced Lens], [Energy Gathering Ring], and [Cyclic Wave Oscillation] all have examples recorded in books, and happened to be seen by Chen Ming and remembered in his mind, and finally became one of the transformation options. one.

These three modification options are the same as repair. You only need to prepare the materials, click the modification button, and the panel will complete all subsequent work by itself.

And the actual effect of these transformations.

Chen Ming remembered that [Cyclic Oscillation] was a modification of the mining laser's transmitter, which could expand the size of the laser beam and slightly enhance the mining efficiency of the mining laser.

[Energy Gathering Ring] The laser restrainer next to the launcher has been modified.

Limit the energy dissipated during laser emission, while slightly enhancing the laser intensity while saving power consumption when the laser is activated.

The little savings each time may not be noticeable, but they add up and are very valuable when fuel supplies may not be available for a long time after Chen Ming.

As for [Advanced Lens], Chen Ming remembered that it was a transformation of the most core component of the mining laser, the laser lens.

It can greatly enhance the range and intensity of mining lasers.

If you want to collect this sky-blue ore, higher laser intensity is definitely indispensable.

But when Chen Ming looked at the materials needed for the transformation, he wanted to give up.

Those ordinary metal materials are nothing, but there is one thing that Chen Ming can't get at all now.

A complete high-intensity laser lens.

Currently, Chen Ming knows that there are two places with high-intensity laser lenses: the human world half a light-year away, and the mining space station right in front of him.

"Aren't you kidding me?"

The location where components such as high-intensity laser lenses are stored on the space station must be in the storage area next to the mining area. Going there is no different than seeking death.

Wait a moment.

Chen Ming suddenly remembered that the dock of the space station was often tasked with repairing spacecraft, so there seemed to be a small warehouse nearby to store some parts and materials that might be used to repair the spacecraft.

There might be the lenses you need in this small warehouse.

Looking at it this way, it seems that it is not impossible to try to get it.

Chen Ming looked at the time on the terminal. It was now seven o'clock in the evening.

If you're fast enough, you should be able to get it before the break comes.

Want to try it?
It's been a day and a half since he left the space station, and it's almost time for the Zerg to calm down.

And this modification that requires a high-intensity laser lens is not only effective on the dark blue ore.

It also plays a very important role in collecting minerals after Chen Ming. Higher laser intensity means faster mining efficiency.

Chen Ming weighed the pros and cons in his mind and finally decided to go.

As for this, there is still no way to mine ore.

Chen Ming planned to use the traction device to drag it back to the space station.

Because although the overall volume of this dark blue ore is almost half a person, its shape is very irregular.

So much so that its narrowest part is much wider than the hatch of the spacecraft, and it cannot be stuffed into the spacecraft at all.

The mining laser is not strong enough to cut it.If you leave it here, you might not find it next time you come here, so you can only use this method to drag it back first.

After thinking about what to do next, Chen Ming moved quickly.

He soon returned to the space station with the ore.

However, Chen Ming did not keep his distance from the space station as before, but continued to fly to the living area of ​​the space station where he woke up.

Chen Ming remembered that when he just woke up, he saw many holes and damage in the buildings here.

The same is true now.

Even through these damages and loopholes, Chen Ming could see bugs inside the living area that seemed to be attracted by the movement of the spacecraft.

If I want to implement the method of sneaking in quietly that I thought of before, there seems to be some problems.

Chen Ming did not consider what method to use now if the previous method failed. He went to the space station where the bugs had become active again to obtain a high-intensity laser lens, nor did he care about the bugs.

Instead, he searched nearby and found a gap of suitable size, and then he stuck the dark blue ore pulled by the spacecraft into it.

As long as the space station is still there, the ore will still be there, and you don’t have to worry about not being able to find it later.

After getting the ore, Chen Ming turned the ship's bow and looked at the insects huddled together in the corridor of the living area that was exposed due to the damage to the building.

Immediately afterwards, the two machine guns on both sides of the spacecraft opened fire.

The pouring bullets crushed all the bugs exposed within the cannon's firing range before gradually extinguishing.

Seeing their corpses being quickly devoured by the insects that came around again, Chen Ming couldn't help but think of the time when he was being chased two days ago.

Chen Ming smiled and fired more than 200 bullets at the bugs again, shooting the second batch of bugs into pieces.

Seeing that there were more bugs approaching in the distance of the space station, Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh at the exaggerated number of bugs. He didn't stay any longer and controlled the spacecraft away from the space station.

The spacecraft didn't stop until the space station was no longer visible to the ship's cameras.

But then, Chen Ming changed direction, made a big turn, and flew to the other side of the space station.

Chen Ming just took the initiative to shoot at the bugs. In addition to revenge and relief, he actually had another idea.

It just attracts bugs from other parts of the space station to the living area.

Because the dock he was going to immediately was opposite the living area and was located at both ends of the space station.

If bugs gather in the living area, you will be safer when you go to the dock to find things.

The plan I originally thought of, sneaking in quietly, grabbing things and leaving without disturbing the bugs at all, was ruined when the bugs discovered the spaceship as soon as it approached the space station.

So Chen Ming simply improvised and chose to use the insects' keen perception to attract them from all corners of the space station.

As for whether this temporary solution has any effect...

The spacecraft soon approached the space station again.

This time, none of the insects that had been attracted to the living area found Chen Ming.

It seems that my idea is still very effective.

Chen Ming put on protective clothing and did not let the spacecraft approach the dock directly. Instead, it stayed a certain distance away from the space station.

After confirming again and again that there are no bugs or other strange movements at your target location.

Chen Ming opened the hatch, stepped on the edge of the hatch, and jumped in the direction of the space station.
