The big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was standing aside and making fun of Gele immediately spoke when he heard the name.
"It's your boy, I didn't expect you to look like this."
"Do you know me?" Qiantaki looked at the big man in confusion.
"You're a very capable boy. It was your first time to participate in a mission, and you were ranked third during the settlement. I didn't expect you to be so young. He's really old." The big man couldn't help but sigh.
Gele said with a smile, "Domeng, you don't have to pretend to be old. Who doesn't know that you have been doing this for more than thirty years, and you are considered to be a veteran."
"Okay, stop flattering each other, what is the mission this time?" The other team members asked in a sigh of relief.
"Ahem, let's get down to business. In three hours, the Hibernian will pass through a group of meteorites. The direction of the meteorites is consistent with the direction of the meteorite. During this period, the Hibernian will
A fixed-speed flight will be carried out for maintenance, which will last three days. This means that you only have three days from departure to returning to the Shipney. Remember that if you miss the time, the Shipney will not stop for you.
of."
"We know this." Domeng said nonchalantly.
Goller continued, "This mission depends on you. I wish you good luck."
After saying that, Geler stood aside. The lifting plate behind him made a roaring sound. The lifting plate rose up, and five specially modified miners appeared in front of him.
Chitaki walked onto one of them and climbed into the cockpit.
Put on protective clothing in the cockpit.
This miner is obviously different from his previous exclusive miner. This model is more advanced and brand new, and its configuration has also been changed.
The most obvious change is that the fuselage is equipped with six 220mm self-defense cannons. This firepower can basically match the defender.
As for the working tools, they have also been optimized and equipped with high-power drill bits and energy detectors.
The external fuel tank is abandoned on the back and replaced by an external storage tank, which is specially used to store energy stones.
"ready or Not."
Gullah's voice sounded inside the driver's seat.
"Okay." Chitaki replied.
Swinging, the lift plate begins to descend.
Gele couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead as he looked at the five people starting to take action. It was very important to collect the energy stones this time. You must know that the quota of energy stones this month has been overrun again. How can you get through it if you don't get something?
Chitaki piloted the Miner and flew out of the Hippoly through the ejection channel and into space.
"Huan." Chitaki woke up without any hesitation.
"Qiantaki." The phantom voice sounded again.
"I'm flying to the meteorite area, looking for energy stones. You can help me search." Qiantaki replied.
"yes."
The five Chitaki piloted the Miner towards the meteorite area.
The five people dispersed when they approached the meteorite area. This was a solitary job, and under normal circumstances no one would choose to cooperate.
Chitaki couldn't help but hold her breath. Entering the meteorite area is not a simple matter. If you are not careful, you will be directly hit by the flying meteorite. Avoiding it is the first step.
The next step is to find traces of energy stones among thousands of meteorites. This is the second level.
The third level is to crash land on the corresponding meteorite and then mine it.
Huan gave a very detailed instruction map of the avoidance route.
Chitaki piloted the Miner to fly over the meteorite obstacles according to the avoidance route and flew into the meteorite area.
Chitaki controlled the miner very carefully, not even daring to blink. Even with the magic correction, he was still very cautious. From time to time, meteorites passed by the miner.
Chitaki looked at the scanner on the miner from time to time, but there was no movement at all.
Time passes little by little.
Unknowingly, Chitaki had already penetrated deep into the meteorite area. This was already 20 hours later.
Because he was highly concentrated, he did not feel tired, but there was not much time left for him. He would have to search for a while at most before returning.
"Has Phantom been found?"
"While searching and matching, three suspicious meteorite areas were found."
Then a three-dimensional schematic diagram of meteorites appeared in Chitaki's mind, and only three meteorites scattered in different areas were displayed.
Target 1: A meteorite with a radius of 1043 meters.
Target 2: A meteorite with a radius of 231 meters.
Target 3: A meteorite with a radius of 154 meters.
Chitaki took a deep breath and replied, "Invade the miner's machine and block the records on it."
Chitaki drove the miner towards target 3. In fact, according to normal thinking, target 1 should be the best and ideal target, but in fact this is not the case. Due to time constraints, the larger the volume, the more time it takes to explore and mine.
Unfortunately, the most lacking thing is time.
Half an hour later, Chitaki began to adjust the miner's flight direction and speed, and began to synchronize with the meteorite.
Then the miners landed on the meteorite.
Chitaki controlled the robotic arm and began to drill holes into the meteorite.
This meteorite is the smallest. As long as one or two holes are drilled, the energy stones will basically be exposed.
As the drill bit rotates, a preliminary drilling pit is quickly formed.
The work continues.
It's a pity that Huan still didn't react at all. No accident, no energy stone was found.
Chitaki changed three positions and spent more than two hours digging three deep craters. In the end, he found nothing and gave up on the meteorite.
Chitaki drove the miner away from the meteorite and flew towards target 2.
No accident, Chitaki landed on the meteorite and continued his work.
The drill bit continues to break the surface of the meteorite.
Suddenly the phantom gives an alarm.
"Discovering the Pollock Biological Response."
Qiantaki was also stunned, "Zerg? Are you so unlucky?"
Chitaki stopped drilling holes, retracted the robotic arm, entered combat mode, and loaded the firepower system.
He looked around and found no suspicious presence?
"Huan, are you sure?"
"yes."
"Where is the other party?"
Huan gave a hint, pointing the pointed tip at the exact location where he made the hole.
Chitaki walked over and looked down, also stunned.
The center of the meteorite is hollow, and he made a hole.
There are densely packed insect eggs inside, which should be the cause of the alarm.
"Discovered Level III energy reaction." Huan then gave a hint.
Although Chitaki was a little surprised, he immediately realized that this was what the information mentioned, that energy stones are often accompanied by alien nests.
Chitaki hesitated and asked, "Is it highly threatening?"
"During the scan, no high-intensity Pollock biological reaction was found, and the risk level was judged to be extremely low."
After Chitaki heard this, he turned on the mechanical arm again and expanded the hole.
Half an hour later, the miner flew down.
The internal space is actually not large, but there are quite a few insect eggs accumulated there.
In the middle of the egg, a transparent blue prismatic crystal about 5 meters high and 2 meters wide stands there, emitting a blue halo.
