EVE, I’m such a miner

Chapter 4 Armed miners in action

"Jump engine starts"

Following the prompt from the spacecraft, Li Yi landed on the asteroid belt.

Unlike floodlight sources that have a safety level of up to 1.0.

As soon as Li Yi landed, someone immediately welcomed his arrival.

They were two strange-looking spaceships, nicknamed Big-headed Fly and the Incasas class.

This is the frigate of the Gallente Federation, a small and most common warship.

However, these two ships are not affiliated to the Gallente Federation, but to the Serpentis Group.

The Sky Snake Group is one of the major pirate forces in the game.

These two spaceships carry a bounty of up to 9000 star coins, and the Sky Serpentis Group patrol is the most basic enemy in the game.

As soon as Li Yi landed, he heard the message that his spacecraft was locked.

Then, countless artillery fire bombarded his spaceship, but due to the long distance between the two sides at this time, the artillery fire just passed Li Yi's spacecraft.

"Okay, if the tiger doesn't show its power, you will treat me as a sick cat!"

Li Yi controlled the Virator, turned on the civilian afterburner, locked on the Serpentis pirate ship closest to him, and rushed forward.

"Civilian Gatling railgun, activate!"

As Li Yi gradually approached the optimal shooting range, he opened fire.

The Virator is just a novice ship, with only three pieces of equipment on board, a civilian Gatling railgun for attack, a civilian mining machine, and a civilian afterburner, and nothing else.

The civilian Gatling cannon fired ballistically one after another. Li Yi controlled the civilian afterburner thruster and kept the distance from the two Sky Snake patrols at about 5000 meters.

This is the optimal range for civilian Gatling railguns and is beyond the range of either craft.

The two Incasas-class ships are equipped with rapid cannons.

This is a powerful melee hybrid cannon. Its damage types are mainly kinetic energy and thermal energy damage. It is the cannon with the highest output.

However, it has only one drawback, and that is that the range is too short.

Only at close range can it exert its power, but at a far distance, then.

"Rubbed, wiped."

The Rapid Cannons of the Sky Serpentis patrol flew past Li Yi's spaceship. Occasionally, some of them could hit his spaceship, but they only slightly damaged the shield.

As the saying goes, for rapid cannons, within the range, no grass will grow, but outside the range, you can fly as you wish.

The rapid cannon and Li Yi's rail gun are both hybrid cannons. One is the rapid cannon, which is a short-range cannon, while the rail gun is a long-range cannon, and it is the gun with the longest range.

In this way, Li Yi remained at the optimal range, and at the same time stayed outside the range of the Snake Patrol for the past two days. He turned on the civilian afterburner and flew the kite with peace of mind.

Shields, armor, structures.

Soon, the shield and armor of a Sky Serpentine patrol's spacecraft were continuously broken by Li Yi. Li Yi's civilian railgun had already damaged its structure.

Along with its structure, it was wiped away by the railguns one after another.

"boom!"

The Sky Serpentis patrol ship exploded, sending out brilliant fireworks in space.

+9000 star coins.

This was Li Yi's bounty for killing the Sky Snake pirates. Li Yi didn't care about this star coin at all, it was just a fraction, a fraction, a fraction, a fraction of his funds.

You know, his current capital is as high as 1820 million star coins. Within a few hours of the game's launch, apart from those rich men and club members who bought a large number of star coins from others, he is probably the richest ordinary player.

Then, Li Yi set his sights on the only remaining Sky Snake patrol ship.

"Lock on, fire!"

The next moment, Li Yi's eyes widened: "???".

The lock failed and the other party entered the transition state.

Seeing that the situation was not good, this Sky Serpent patrol jumped away directly. It didn't know where it went in the vast galaxy.

"This NPC's IQ is not low."

Li Yi has already noticed that the IQ of the NPCs in this game is probably not low, and may not be as brainless as in "EVE".

Moreover, Li Yi discovered through previous battles that the pirate ships in this game are not weak, but are much stronger than the pirates in "EVE". They are probably at the level of a novice player's random combination.

After destroying a Sky Serpent patrol, Li Yi saw a wreckage appearing on the battlefield.

This comes to the point of touching the corpse.

Li Yi approached the wreckage and used the spacecraft's capture device to open the wreckage.

"Get metal fragment 1"

"Get the Drone: Goblin I"

Seeing this, Li Yi felt happy.

You know, the characteristics of the Gallente Federation are rapid cannons and drones, as well as armor maintenance. Especially drones, Gallente is the strongest among the four major forces.

Li Yi put on the Earth Elf without hesitation.

The Virator's drone bandwidth is as high as 10, while the drone bandwidth required by the Goblin is only 5. In short, the Virator can release two drones to assist in the attack.

However, Li Yi cannot release two drones now because his drone control skill is only 1 and he can only control one drone at a time.

Li Yi did not hesitate, adjusted his skill sequence, put drone control technology at the top of the list, and began to slowly learn drone control technology.

After driving away the pirates, Li Yi dug up ore in the asteroid belt with peace of mind.

This time, what he dug was not ordinary crystal rock, but anorthosite. In addition to producing tripeptide alloys, anorthosite can also produce super-silver-like metals. This is a high-security mineral that contains the most super-silver-like metals. Ore.

He knew that now that the price of tripeptide alloy had gone up, many people were collecting tripeptide alloy.

However, in addition to tripeptide alloy, a variety of other ores are needed to build a spaceship. The prices of other ores have not yet risen. He wants to take the first step and monopolize the asteroid belt for mining before others have discovered it. .

Dream Chaser Club, two professional players who are exploring, Du Cheng and Zhou Yi.

The two of them drove the Inkasas-class frigate given as a gift after completing the novice mission, passed through one star gate after another, and came to Bale.

"The security level of this galaxy is only 0.5, and the pirate spacecraft inside must be more powerful."

Du Cheng spoke to Zhou Yi on the communication interface.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Yes, the security level here is lower, the pirates are stronger, and the bounty will definitely be higher. Those pirates who had a bounty of only 3000 before were not enough."

The two of them had entered the game for several hours. After completing the novice mission, they were given 100 million star coins as a gift. They were very fast. As soon as they completed all the combat missions, they left the initial galaxy and began to travel to other galaxies, pursuing all the way. Pirates, fight your way to get bounties.

At the same time, there were several more pieces of equipment on their spaceship, all of which were equipped with rapid cannons. The railguns were thrown into the warehouse by them.

Railguns can shoot farther, and their damage is much lower than rapid cannons, so what's the point of having one?
  They jumped to an asteroid belt, where pirate traces are best found.

"Ha, two Sky Serpent patrols, each with a bounty of 9000, is going to be paid out now."

The two couldn't wait to get up. At the same time, they discovered a Virator staying on the asteroid belt in the exploration interface of the spacecraft.

"Hey, is there someone here?"

Zhou Yi discovered Li Yi who was mining in the asteroid belt.

"Don't worry, he's a novice ship equipped with new cannons. He can't defeat two Serpentis patrols."

Du Cheng himself has a deep understanding of it. Before, he drove the Virator to challenge pirates. As for the railgun, the optimal range was 5000, but he had posted it within 100, and the damage was only so small. This civilian railgun The railgun's output was too low, but the Serpentis pirates' firepower was so fierce that they easily penetrated his shields and armor, damaging the structure.

He didn't dare to be too big, so he immediately jumped away from the battlefield, escaped back to the space station, and spent a certain amount of time repairing the ship.

This time, he wasted a lot of time and made him lag behind his companion Zhou Yi.

Obviously, Zhou Yi also agrees with Du Cheng's point of view. This novice ship of Villator actually dares to mine here alone. Now it faces two Sky Serpent patrols with a bounty of up to 9000. There will be a good show later. Saw it.

Once the Serpentis patrol drives away the Virator, it won't be too late for the two of them to eliminate the pirates.

So, the two of them stopped around the asteroid belt and watched how the two snake pirates drove away the Virator.

The next moment, the Serpentis patrol locked onto the Virator and opened fire.

The bullet grazed the novice ship.

"It's too far. It's not within range yet. There's no rush."

Du Cheng said.

The next moment, the two of them noticed something moving around the Virator, running towards the two Sky Serpent patrols in the distance.

"what is that?"

Zhou Yi quickly opened his search panel, Drone: Earth Elf I
  "It's okay, just two drones, the damage is very low."

Du Cheng continued, it was not like he had never hit a drone before. There was an elf drone on his own Inkasas frigate, but the damage of that thing was very low and not as fast as his speed. gun.

But he overlooked one problem, that is, Inkasas does not have a drone bonus, while Virator has a 20% drone damage bonus and can release two drones.

In this way, the damage of the drone controlled by Virator is not low.

At the same time, they discovered that the Virator had moved, maintaining a distance of more than 5000 meters from the two Serpentine patrols, and then opened fire.

Under the double blow of drones and railguns, the two Serpentis pirate spaceships immediately turned into dust.

"Du Cheng, is this what you mean when you say the damage is not high?"

Zhou Yi's eyes widened. How could the Virator eliminate the pirates so quickly? It almost caught up with his frigate.

Du Cheng rubbed his hair.

"This?"

He had only entered the game a few hours ago and was not yet familiar with the mechanics of the game. He did not expect that this newbie ship would have such strong combat power.

"Let's go, Zhou Yi, stop looking, don't waste time, go find the pirates elsewhere."

Du Cheng suggested, then he started the jump engine and rushed to the next asteroid belt.
