Although no one said anything, Qiu Feng felt very calm and seemed to have no other problems at all.

500 times the speed of light sounds very fast, but in space navigation, it is not a very fast speed. Explorer ships, space fighters and mechas all shuttle back and forth in the meteorite belt in front of the Sky Eye, just like butterflies passing through flowers.

generally.

Before the Sky Eye got close to the meteorite belt, Colonel Deng Jia said: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief: The No. 3 reconnaissance ship sent back news that some meteorites in the meteorite belt contain conventional metals with a proportion as high as 29%, rare metals as high as 5.33%, and other useful minerals.

Reaching 7.21%, the overall effectiveness exceeds 40%.

The measured samples were randomly sampled, and whether the distribution is universal needs further sampling and testing."

Colonel Guo Jingsi gave a military salute and said: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the special company of the Sky Eye carrier-based space fighter flight group reports that there are no special threats within the surrounding five light years."

Qiu Feng asked in confusion: "What are the conventional threats?"

Colonel Guo Jingsi was stunned for a moment and said: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief: Conventional threats are threats to normal navigation and stationing, including meteorite impacts, electronic storms, black hole threats, etc."

Colonel Qiu Lin added: "Commander, in the Seven Monsters Space Force reconnaissance system, there are possible attacks from other military forces, attacks from alien species, minefields prepared by the enemy, and other threats within the coverage of the enemy's force.

for a special threat.

Generally speaking, there is no special threat, which means safety. Who doesn’t have navigation risks?”

Qiu Feng nodded and said: "The space shuttle flight team will continue to investigate the entire meteorite area, detect threats, and measure the scope of the meteorite belt.

Colonel Deng Jia, continue to increase the scope and number of sample testing to ensure more accurate data.

Colonel Deng Mumu, keep the flagship Sky Eye continuing to sail, and enter the automatic mapping mode of the star map.

Colonel Qiu Lin, group and package the star map data and the currently detected data, and synchronize them."

"Yes!" After a series of orders were issued, several school-level officers immediately began to operate on the operation screens in front of their seats, or grabbed the communication port to issue orders to their subordinates, or started operating on the ship's optical computer.

When the Sky Eye finally entered the meteorite belt, the speed was even slower, and it might not even reach 100 times the speed of light. However, although the meteorite belt was dense, the Sky Eye could still pass through it smoothly by driving carefully.

Soon, Colonel Guo Jingsi stood up and said with some excitement: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief: This meteorite has a width of about 3 light years, a thickness of more than 7 light years, and a length of more than 18 light years, because it exceeds the range of all space fighters.

The combat radius is 20 light years, so my subordinates ordered the pilots of the special company to return, and sent out the second battalion to conduct a full range of flight measurements."

Qiu Feng nodded and asked: "Colonel Qiu Lin, if according to the resource utilization rate reported by Colonel Deng Jia before, the length is only 18 light years, how many resource stars is equivalent to this meteorite belt?"

Colonel Qiu Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief for winning a good start. A resource star with a resource content of more than 30% is considered a rich resource star.

Although the samples tested so far have an efficiency of over 40%, the composition of the meteorite belt is complex after all, and not all meteorites are necessarily so efficient. A conservative estimate is that it is at least equivalent to the seven resource stars outside our Seven Demon Stars.

The total resources.

Moreover, the convenience of mining resources in the meteorite belt is much higher than that of resource stars. Taken together, its value is no less than the sum of the ten resource stars outside the Seven Demon Stars."

Qiu Feng also hammered his chest with his hands with some excitement, thought for a while, and said: "Colonel Deng Jia, order the three reconnaissance ships to distance themselves, do not concentrate the sampling in one area, spread out the sampling, and test the results as soon as possible.

Colonel Guo Jingsi ordered the space fighter aircraft to increase the intensity of reconnaissance and try to identify all potential risks."

The Sky Eye has been sailing carefully within the meteorite belt for an hour, and has entered the edge area of ​​the meteorite belt. The three interstellar reconnaissance ships, because their hulls are smaller, sail deeper.

Colonel Deng Jia reported again: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief: More than 600 meteorite samples have been taken. The worst effective rate is more than 35%, and the highest effective rate is more than 79%. Raw ore materials of memory metal were even found in 12 samples.

.

The overall effectiveness is undoubtedly above 50%, exceeding the initial estimate of 40%."

Qiu Feng nodded and asked: "Colonel Guo Jingsi, does the Space Fighter Flight Corps have any data on the size of this meteorite belt sent back?"

Colonel Guo Jingsi said: "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the width has been found to be about 3 light years, with some irregularities. The thickest is 12 light years, the thinnest is 2 light years, and the length has been detected to be 25 light years.

The three reconnaissance ships have exceeded the flagship Sky Eye by 4 light-years and are about to reach the maximum distance of 5 light-years. The subordinates have ordered the space battleships of the second battalion to return to the three nearby reconnaissance ships to replenish energy and replace fighter aircraft to continue forward reconnaissance. The result

Feedback will take about half an hour.”

Qiu Feng said: "Colonel Chen Jiaming, ordered the mecha warriors on the three reconnaissance ships to reduce the number of sampling mechas by half, and to keep the mechas flying with them at all times."

"yes!"

Another half hour passed, and Colonel Guo Jingsi said excitedly: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the space fighter reconnaissance has been completed, and now only the necessary accompanying space fighters are maintained.

The length of the meteorite belt reaches 35 light-years. Congratulations to the commander-in-chief for winning a big red, which is equivalent to at least 20 resource stars. In terms of resource mining value, on the first day we went out, we found the entire value of 36 resource stars from the past four planets.

.

Although the mining convenience is greater than the 36 resource stars we are already mining, the transportation distance is longer. If the battleship space jump is used to transport it, the cost will be too high..."

Qiu Feng said: "We just have to discover how to mine it, and the Mining Department of the Seven Demons Interstellar Government and the Interstellar Mining Group will handle it.

Colonel Qiu Lin, star maps, routes, coordinates, and preliminary test results were all sent to Chen Liangjian, asking him to provide feedback on the mining plan as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Commander! The star map, route, and coordinates have been sent simultaneously, and the test results are also being packaged and sent. Commander, please wait patiently.

Please give me your instructions whether to take back all the reconnaissance ships, space fighters and mechas, leave the meteorite belt at full speed, and continue the journey of the Sky Eye!"

Qiu Feng shook his head and said: "The three reconnaissance ships are still operating independently, maintaining a distance of 4 light years from the Sky Eye, waiting for the return ship on the other side of the meteorite belt, with space fighters accompanying them in batches, and the mechas can be recovered inside the reconnaissance ships.

"

"yes!"

…
Chapter completed!
