After a long time, the people gathered outside discovered that the power inside was no longer changing, and even the detectors were no longer sounding alarms.
"It looks like this is the end? I just don't know what this person is doing inside."
"No matter what we do, it's definitely not something we can imagine. Let's just let it go..."
Everyone shouted and dispersed in front of Mu En's room. Everyone returned to their positions and started their work.
…
"Captain, our base needs to expand outwards. The mineral resources here have almost been exploited."
The mining minister reported at the meeting that most of the high-energy crystal mines here have been mined by them, and the remaining veins will be completely exhausted in at most two months.
They must find new mineral resources before the mineral veins are exhausted, so that the base can continue to grow.
"So fast? It seems that we really need to search for new mineral veins."
Captain Loken murmured that all the production facilities in the base were producing at full capacity, which made the consumption of this high-energy crystal mine very huge. If they want to continue to grow, they must find new veins.
After thinking for a moment, Captain Loken looked at the production director.
"David, how about the production department? We must find and build a new base before the mineral veins are exhausted."
"No problem!" Production Minister David replied: "The production in the production department is within control. We can allocate some people to build a new command center."
Hearing this, Captain Loken nodded slightly, as long as he could allocate more people.
"Well, then, allocate some of the manpower to build a new command center first, and then allocate some of the people to join the exploration team to explore new mineral veins."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements soon."
David nodded, then looked at the Minister of Arms.
"The outgoing exploration team needs your support, especially the armed forces."
"clear!"
After the Minister of Arms nodded, Captain Loken looked at everyone and said slowly.
"Okay, that's the content of this meeting."
After that, he stood up and left the conference room. As a captain, he did not need to do everything personally. He only needed to control the general direction so that the transport ship and the crew would not have problems.
And this exploration is still very simple for them. After all, energy crystals are also what Mu En and the Kryptonians need.
When we go out to explore, Mu En and the others will naturally be missing.
It's just that Mu En is extremely powerful. He plans to send the mechanical hunting dog out, and on the Kryptonian side, he has already discussed with General Zuo De that two Kryptonians will accompany them.
While they were having a meeting, the Kryptonians also started their meeting under the convocation of General Zuo De.
"...That's the thing. As collaborators, we also need to provide some power, and the energy crystal veins are very important to us. We must master the method of determining the veins, so I am going to draw one person from each warrior and craftsman, in addition to the escort
They just learn to explore for mineral veins."
As he said that, General Zuo De looked at the people in front of him and thought carefully.
After a while, he had an idea and said after glancing at everyone.
"Regel and Monte, you two are on this mission. This mission is very important!"
"As you command, General."
The strong Regel and the slightly smaller Monte responded that they were not dissatisfied with General Zod's order. They had long been accustomed to such things.
"Very good. Next, what I want to talk about is the issue of Krypton's technology recovery. Our transaction is closely related to the recovery work, which is related to whether Krypton can be rebuilt."
While talking, everyone turned their attention to the only scientist among them.
"The problem of technological restoration is pretty good. Now I have restored 10% of the remains of the wave. I believe we will be able to complete the transaction soon and get the Kryptonian Codex again."
"Very well, technological recovery is our most important thing at the moment. No matter what happens, there must be no problems in this regard."
Zuo De nodded slowly, everything was running as usual, Krypton was waiting for them not far away.
…
"The mine exploration team is about to set off!"
A man shouted and ran towards the defensive position, which attracted the attention of Mu En, who was walking in the base.
"Are we about to set off now? It's still very efficient."
Regarding the news about the mine exploration team, Mu En had known about it not long ago, but he didn't expect that their efficiency would be so high, and they were ready to set off just now.
With a tap of her foot, Mu En instantly flew out and shot towards the defensive position.
As soon as he arrived at the position, Mu En's attention was attracted by the fortress flying in the air.
This is the command center in flight. Those huge engines have brought the command center into the air, allowing the command center to move in the air.
Moreover, this command center has just been built and is ready to accompany the exploration team until a new mineral vein is found.
"This is really good. Although it cannot be compared with the other two tribes, it can be considered that they have blazed their own path."
Looking at the people gathered below the command center, Mu En slowly fell from the sky.
"We're about to set off now?"
"Yes, the mineral veins are about to be exhausted. In order to ensure development, we can only find new mineral veins to mine before the mineral veins are exhausted."
Captain Loken replied that he would never do this if Moon and the others were not there.
It will only exploit resources as much as possible to replenish the transport ship, and then move towards the next unknown planet, taking everyone on the transport ship to continue searching for the Koprulu sector.
But with the help of Mu En and others, he can relax his hands and feet, develop production with all his strength, add fleets and strengthen ships.
Until a fleet is formed and then embarks on the journey again.
"That's really a big deal."
Mu En nodded in agreement. Energy crystals and high-energy gas have many uses. They are important resources to ensure the production and operation of all facilities.
Now that the mineral veins here are exhausted, we really need to find new mineral veins.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How can I help you?"
"Well...there's nothing you need for the time being. I've already arranged everything."
Captain Loken said softly that the strength of this exploration team is enough. Even if they encounter an insect wave again, they can provide timely support.
Seeing that the other party had already said this, Mu En didn't say anything more. Anyway, if they needed anything, they would come to him.
The exploration team was not the only one with marines, there were not only vultures used as scouts, but also several siege tanks and even several Goliath robots following them.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
This is not a game. If only marines are allowed to travel, even if there are Kryptonians and mechanical hounds following them, things can easily go wrong.
But with the presence of vultures, siege tanks and Goliath robots, the pressure on the Marines will be much less, and they can face all surprises more easily.
The exploration team quickly gathered and set off after checking their weapons and equipment.
A group of people traveled in great force, and everyone in the base watched them leave. Every exploration was a farewell to life and death. No one could guarantee that they would see these people next time. After all, the exploration team has another name.
, that’s the Suicide Squad.
As the exploration team and the command center left, everyone in the defensive position also dispersed. Next, they would fully exploit the mineral veins that were about to be exhausted and prepare to leave for new mineral veins.
"It seems like there's nothing wrong with me?"
After walking around the base, Mu En shook her head helplessly.
The entire base is in perfect order, and apart from encountering an insect wave, his help is not needed here at all.
"Forget it, I just take this opportunity to take a look at the recovery of Kryptonian technology."
As he spoke, he walked in the direction of General Zuo De and the others.
…
a few days later
During the expedition, several engineers operating SCVs discovered a suspected mineral vein through their equipment.
"Go and take a look in front. There is a mineral vein reaction in front."
Following their words, several marines formed a team and rushed towards the direction they said with the vultures and Goliath robots.
They discovered several suspected mineral veins along the way, but ultimately determined that those places were not veins of energy crystals and high-energy gas, but veins of some ordinary metals.
Although these metal veins are equally important, the most important ones now are the veins of energy crystals and high-energy gas.
The small group of Marines rushed toward that place with their spiked rifles in hand. The Goliath robot was galloping on the ground, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the place the engineer had mentioned.
"This is it, it should be right."
The team leader raised his hand and waved lightly, and the Goliath robot took the lead and attacked the bare ground.
Cracks appeared in the ground under the attack of artillery fire, and soon things under the ground were exposed.
"Ceasefire!"
The captain shouted, and then walked into the big crater that was blasted out, and began to inspect it.
"That's right, this is the energy crystal vein. I just don't know what the mineral reserves here are."
While speaking, the captain looked at the team members on the side.
"Contact the team, the energy crystal was found here!"
If it can be determined that this is an energy crystal vein, then of course associated gas deposits such as high-energy gas will also appear. This is why the captain did not check the high-energy gas.
The team members also reported this news to the main force very seriously. They had indeed found an energy crystal vein. The specific reserves of this vein can only be left to the professional engineers to calm down.
Everyone in the large army waited for a long time, and news came from the small team sent out.
"I discovered it. The mineral vein has finally been discovered."
As long as the mineral vein is discovered, it will be fine, but they are not yet sure what the resource reserves of the mineral vein are. If it is only a thin layer, then all their efforts will be in vain.
The large army set off in that direction in a mighty manner, and the command center flying in the sky also moved slowly.
After a long time, the troops finally felt that the engineers used SCVs to mine the pits and extract samples of the veins for testing.
Pieces of blue energy crystals were mined, and engineers finally detected the reserves of this vein.
"Although this vein is just an ordinary energy crystal vein, the reserves in it are huge, much more than the veins at the base."
After the engineer confirmed it, everyone on the exploration team became excited. Such a huge mineral vein was enough for them to develop.
It's just that the environment here is not as good as the one at the base. It's flat everywhere and cannot be compared with that at the base.
At least the terrain on the base side is good, and the terrain surrounded by mountains on both sides allows them to focus more on defending both sides.
"The terrain here is a problem, but the captain should be able to handle it." As he spoke, the engineer turned to look at the command center in the sky. "The ground has been cleared, and the command center is preparing to land."
As the voice fell, the command center slowly arrived at the target location, the power of the thrusters continued to weaken, and the huge command center also slowly landed.
Tsk~
Accompanied by a burst of exhaust sound, the command center successfully landed, several thruster engines were shut down, and the command center was started.
"Okay, we can start!"
The engineer walked into the command center. He wanted to report to the base. As for the exploration team, he would just leave it here.
Outside the command center, the siege tanks were transformed into siege mode, and the marines were stationed in place for defense.
In front of them, several SCVs are busy. They have taken out independent modules from the command center. Now they only need to complete the connection of the modules to create the bunker.
Various modules are still being manufactured in the command center, and the defense problems here will be solved soon.
The base also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news, especially when they heard about the amount of mineral reserves, they were even more excited.
"Okay, I'll leave the situation over there to you to handle. Infrastructure construction can also be carried out there. We will set off after the mineral veins here are completely exhausted."
Captain Loken ordered into the communicator, with a smile on his face.
"It seems that this planet has a lot of resource reserves. Not long after we set out, we found a larger vein.
It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower, otherwise we could really develop a fleet."
Everything is developing very smoothly now. If it were not for population constraints, he could really sail around the universe with a fleet.
But there are no ifs in this world. As a human being, he has no way to rapidly increase his population. In fact, in the known universe, only the Zerg clan can multiply rapidly.
Therefore, he could only develop small ships and use these ships as escort weapons.
"Fortunately, with Mu En and the others, we can develop with peace of mind for a while."
Captain Loken thought carefully, and he was very grateful for cooperating with Mu En and others.
If it weren't for Mu En's help, they would still be wandering in the universe, looking for new planets to replenish supplies, and looking for a way back.
"Maybe we need to inform them."
With that said, Captain Loken walked towards the place where Mu En lives. The new base has been determined. If any abnormal situation occurs, Mu En and others will be needed to help.
