This is basically half of the strength that the Mai family can bring to the table.
In higher planets and wider star fields, this is a basic team that cannot be smaller.
It is a small team that can only explore nearby.
But for the people on earth who live on the planet, this can only be established by the giant family and team.
The villain followed his big brother on the main ship.
Behind it was an excavation and collection ship, flanked by small frigates.
The frigate's equipment is very rudimentary, and it can fight back against intruders up to three times.
The basis of counterattack is only one shot. Once fired, it is over. At most, it can only have a shocking effect to repel the enemy.
It depends on what kind of person you meet.
If the people you meet are the same kind of people from Earth who have just started and know nothing, then there will definitely be no problem.
I guess it would be no problem to seize the other party's ship as well.
But if you encounter pirates, refugees, deserters, and rebels in chaotic areas who have long been proficient in operating spaceships and are engaged in robbing families and homes...
Then this kind of counterattack will not only fail to bring them safety, but will anger the other party and ultimately lead to unfavorable results.
Considering that the first time they went to a small star field near the residential star, it was only a few jumps away from the stationing point of the safety guard fleet.
Mai Fan's eldest brother is already safe enough with this configuration.
From the time their group went out to the time they came back, all the small boats on the road kept out of their way.
The first voyage seemed to go very smoothly.
But for the villain who followed him, the voyage was actually a failure.
The planet they chose looked like it had resources.
It's actually a useless star.
What is a waste star? It means that it is not suitable for development and the activities are too intense.
The period of silence is too long, the mining difficulty is greater than the final reward, and the resource storage is too low, which is too low to look at.
That kind of thing is a waste star.
Everyone has been working on this useless star for a week, and finally confirmed that if it is developed, the final investment and output will not be directly proportional.
If you don't make money by digging, then why bother digging?
People from the Mai family came excitedly and left dejectedly...
In the end, not only wasted an opportunity to sail, but also wasted a lot of money on fuel.
As for the staff's wages, they can only be owed first.
Wait until there is income from the second voyage before distributing it.
This is the risk of long-distance exploration.
If you join this industry as an individual...
Then there is nothing to worry about.
It is the employer who pays wages, and it is the business of major galaxy exploration companies.
Go out and just complete the work you should do.
The corresponding losses will not be borne by you, but the benefits will also be distributed to your hands.
For the powerless but adventurous person, this is enough.
Their wealth accumulation is not based on losses, and they earn more than doing small jobs on the planet...
What's there to complain about?
But Maijia Group is not like this.
They invested their own resources and lost money from the family.
Big brother's failure is not something unforgivable.
Unfortunately, he failed too many times.
Once or twice is called regular exploration, three or four times is called bad luck.
After the 5678th attempt, together with another ambitious brother, a developable planet was found on the second or third try.
The elder brother's work here makes the old man a little dissatisfied.
This is how people are, and luck is also part of their strength.
After losing the most primitive support, this eldest brother was discovered to be a bad person and a person with bad luck.
As a new alien human being whose future is full of unknowns.
Luck is really important.
Just when the old man was about to re-evaluate his former heir.
The competitor discovered the mine again.
It was the same mineral star they discovered. A rare mineral vein was discovered tens of meters above the surface.
After exploration, it was found that the reserves of this mine are very small.
But as long as it is dug out, it will be a huge fortune for the current Mai family.
By selling this mine, the family can get at least dozens of small and medium-sized ships.
It will be no problem to recoup the previous investment and achieve a balance of payments.
This time, the old man didn't hesitate any longer.
From now on, resources will begin to be distributed towards equalization and preference.
As the former successor and the eldest brother that the villain follows, he no longer has any privileges.
After another voyage came back in vain, the number of people following the eldest brother became smaller again.
Because everyone can't see hope, they also want to get some benefits by following another prosperous exploration team.
Many people are even whispering in private...
It is said that the eldest brother is a person possessed by a degenerate spirit and is incompatible with the new world.
Now that the situation has reached this level, the villain naturally went back to ask his mother's opinion.
As a representative of exquisite egoism, his mother gave him a very good suggestion.
That is to form a fleet of your own and break away from it.
Now that you know how the fleet operates, why not take charge of it yourself and try your luck.
The villain only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
He is smart, careful and observant.
In fact, there was one thing he always wanted to confirm again.
After he got a semi-old development and exploration ship from the old man.
He returned to the first planet he went to in the first place.
It was the one his eldest brother had visited before, and he explored it again from the back of the planet.
The wonders of the universe are ever-changing.
Earthlings’ knowledge of the universe is completely inapplicable here.
Just like now, the villain's former exploration ship, after exploring the positive side of the surface, gave up on detecting the opposite side.
Because at least the weather here is sunny and sunny, unlike over there where the conditions are extremely harsh.
Judging from the returned photos alone, the composition of the surface is basically the same. This planet should not have much development value.
But the villain always feels that there is actually a lot more to be investigated in the samples brought back.
For this reason, he specifically asked his mother for some resources and had the sample on the back tested again.
This time, because the place where it was sent was a charging agency.
The scope of testing is relatively comprehensive.
I actually had them detect something.
In the sample on the back, there is a very tiny microorganism.
And this microorganism is not a common microbial species.
This microorganism is a companion microorganism, a type of microorganism that is only generated around rare mineral veins.
