Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 34 Considerations
One night passed, and the smelting furnace in the spacecraft's working cabin was filled as before.

After counting the harvest through the panel, Chen Ming found that today's harvest roughly met one-fifth of the materials needed to transform the armor.

If he could achieve such efficiency every day, Chen Ming would even want to change his plan.

Go directly to high-density areas and spend a day collecting.

But Chen Ming thought about it carefully and gave up.

The main material required for transformation is steel, and iron ore, which is the most abundant and common in asteroids, needs to be collected.

Even if you go to a high-density area, the amount obtained each time you collect it will not increase, and it may even decrease due to the presence of other minerals.

At most, it would save some time in moving the spaceship, but this time difference is not worth the time Chen Ming spends on tending the fields and hunting.

Just continue to follow the original plan.

When the sky was just getting light over the temporary camp.

The spacecraft landed in the camp again.

Chen Ming noticed immediately after the spacecraft landed that the cow beast he had tied up outside the camp seemed to have died last night.

Only one body, which was completely decomposed from top to bottom, remained there.

The cause of death did not seem to be death from starvation or excessive injuries, but rather a sudden death caused by high-intensity activity of consciousness and body for several days in a row.

This is what happens to most animals that fall into madness.

The corpse of the cow beast was of little value to Chen Ming when it was so rotten.

So before starting work, Chen Ming deliberately cleaned up the plants around the cow and burned the body with a fire.

Continue to start the repetitive and boring work every day.

The four days of accumulating materials for armor modification are neither long nor short.

It passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Chen Ming could clearly notice many changes around the temporary camp.

It seemed that his last behavior had stimulated the mechanical race. Although the psychic pulse was not directed at him, it appeared more and more frequently.

As a result, the number of surrounding animals is decreasing rapidly, and hunting has become almost impossible.

Even if Chen Ming was lucky enough to encounter an animal that had not been affected by the psychic pulse.

The next moment, the mechanical clan's spiritual pulse may affect them, making Chen Ming's long search and hours of waiting efforts all in vain.

Although he was protected by the spaceship, Chen Ming was basically not in any danger when encountering crazy animals.

But high-frequency psychic pulses are actually dangerous in themselves.

In recent days, Chen Ming was feeling a little uncomfortable due to the frequent psychic pulses.Not to mention Xiaoshi.

If Chen Ming hadn't driven the spacecraft into space every night, Xiaoshi and himself could rest peacefully at night.

Chen Ming felt that Xiao Shi might have gone crazy a long time ago.

Fortunately, last night, the spacecraft had collected enough materials around the space station.

After eagerly completing the modification of the spacecraft armor, Chen Ming couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately controlled the spacecraft and flew in the direction of the mechanical race's psychic pulse device.

The fatigue caused by the large-scale modification of the spacecraft armor was quickly suppressed by Chen Ming's recuperation in the past few days.

Moreover, Chen Ming's heartbeat was gradually accelerating as the distance between the spacecraft and Ruimu shortened.

Just like when I first came here, I was filled with fear and excitement about the unknown.

It was against the Ruimu Planet before, but this time, it was against the Machine Tribe.

It will take some time for the spacecraft to reach the target location.When Chen Ming couldn't suppress his emotions, he suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the day when the third batch of orange fruits was harvested.

In order to ease his emotions, Chen Ming got up and went to the planting cabin.

The agricultural machinery components have harvested all the fruits, all the excess vines have been stuffed into the nutrient solution extractor for recycling, and new seeds have been planted.

Just like the previous two batches of crops, it is enough for Chen Ming to take the fruits to the cold room.

Chen Ming picked up several baskets of orange fruits and prepared to leave.

But his steps suddenly stopped when he stepped out of the door of the planting cabin.

Because at this moment, Chen Ming realized something.

Because I was worried that there might be a food crisis on the road, I planned to prepare excess food before setting off.

But there is actually no need to prepare food on Ramu.

He could stay in orbit around the star and grow orange fruits with extremely high growth efficiency in the hydroponic warehouse.

If there are problems with the cultivation of orange fruits, such as the degradation of varieties, Chen Ming can also land on Ramu immediately to find the next batch of replacement crops.

The efficiency is a little lower, but the safety factor is definitely the highest.

In other words, in fact, on the first day when Chen Ming landed, after he found the seeds of the orange fruit.

If Chen Ming didn't pursue efficiency at all, then waiting for crops to grow in space would actually be the most stable approach.

Chen Ming turned his head and glanced at the hydroponic warehouse.

When he looked back, Chen Ming's eyes were suddenly attracted by the porthole facing the captain's cabin at the other end of the corridor.

The abandoned mining space station floats outside.

So it seems that this cannot be said.

Even if the space station is occupied by bugs, the lack of attention for the past 30 years definitely shows that there are big problems behind the space station and even the entire galaxy.

The longer he stays near the space station and Ramu, the greater the possibility of an accident after Chen Ming.

So it is still beneficial to collect the food you need and leave early.

Furthermore, Chen Ming did not only get food on the planet.

Xiaoshi, the hamster, was Chen Ming's biggest gain on the planet besides food.

Moreover, if Chen Ming can kill those mechanical tribes in the future, the mechanical tribes themselves can also become part of Chen Ming's harvest.

The right arms of the two mechanical bodies were equipped with large electromagnetic weapons that could penetrate the armor of Chen Ming's spacecraft with one shot.

It can definitely be loaded onto the load-bearing point of the spacecraft after simple modifications.

This is much more powerful than the civilian 22mm caliber machine gun.

You must know that Chen Ming encountered countless dangers in the space station and Ruimu, two places that can be said to be completely invisible on the scale of the universe.

Chen Ming couldn't even imagine how many troubles he would encounter during the next half-light-year journey.

Therefore, for Chen Ming, powerful weapons are the best way to deal with danger.

Therefore, he would rather take certain risks to find a way to obtain the weapons of the two combat machines.

Facing known dangers now in exchange for the means to deal with unknown dangers in the future.

Chen Ming is happy to do this kind of exchange.

The heat-insulating armor outside the porthole window of the captain's cabin gradually opened while Chen Ming was thinking, but was immediately closed by Chen Ming on his own initiative.

Because Chen Ming's target location has already appeared in his field of vision.
