Chapter 623: Prospects for deep space prospecting

"Made, there is nothing here!" Ren Xiao muttered to himself.

In the empty space of the universe, he felt as if the whole world was left alone, and the overwhelming sense of loneliness swept through.

Only by talking to yourself can you feel a sense of existence.

"Wori, there is a feeling of being pitted, taking a good risk, and turning into wool...this..."

The various observation equipment carried on the battleship have been released, especially the asteroid belt mapping satellites provided by the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Since leaving the battleship, they have disappeared in the vast universe. The chips carried inside will control them to approach the asteroid. Fly around at a speed of, and finally complete the surveying and mapping task.

Ren Xiao looked at his coordinates every time he passed. The positioning system carried by the warship used the 12 nearest neutron stars to determine his current position to prevent getting lost.

Didididi——!

Suddenly, a rapid sirens sounded on the radar.

Ren Xiao was taken aback in the silent environment.

"Fuck!"

He quickly looked up and saw a high-speed flying object flying towards him.

"My Nima! I'm not so lucky to buy a lottery ticket!"

This high-speed flying object completely coincides with his orbit. Once it collides, it must be a dead end.

Before he could think about it, Ren Xiao immediately started the spacecraft, and the powerful power pushed him back. The warship immediately departed from orbit and made an emergency evasion.

The rapid sirens gradually disappeared, and radar surveillance showed that this was an asteroid that passed him by.

Ren Xiao couldn't help but wiped a cold sweat, but fortunately he reacted in time.

After a while, he realized that he had forgotten to launch a nuclear fusion engine!

boom!

Ren Xiao smashed the console in annoyance, and finally waited for an asteroid, but because of sufficient preparation, it escaped!

It's impossible to start the spacecraft to chase it now. If every asteroid is chasing it, then the spacecraft's fuel will definitely be difficult to support.

Didididi——!

Just when he was upset, the radar warned again.

Ren Xiao almost instinctively pressed the launch button, and a nuclear fusion engine popped out of the battleship, suddenly started, and accelerated ahead of the asteroid.

Before the asteroid approaches, the speed of nuclear fusion is already close to him.

"See where you are going!"

Ren Xiao controls the computer, urgently corrects the parameters, and adjusts the engine track.

After two hours of busy work, the nuclear fusion engine finally landed on the asteroid without error.

According to the information provided by the engine's own surveying and mapping equipment, this is an asteroid with a diameter of 11 kilometers. The basic elements are composed of iron, copper, silicon, and aluminum.

The iron content is 53%, which is a veritable iron ore.

Iron is not a rare metal, but an asteroid with a diameter of 11 kilometers has a mass of almost one trillion tons.

What is the concept of a trillion tons? Even if it is a stone, it is rich!

Ren Xiao felt that he saw not a broken stone in the universe, but a golden mountain!

"Made, you really want wealth and wealth! An asteroid can directly become the world's richest man!"

"dry!"

"When I go back, I will take Erha directly to demolish my house and reorganize it into Erha Interstellar Mining Group, and make a fortune!"

To be on the safe side, Ren Xiao launched three more nuclear fusion engines to change the asteroid's orbit and push it to Saturn.

And during the long interstellar journey, I slowed down this small but surprisingly massive asteroid to a manageable level.

Ren Xiao, who had successfully completed all the work, almost jumped up excitedly.

May I ask who can bring an asteroid back to its parent planet?

This is simply a feat that has never been seen before!

"Report to the command center, an 11-kilometer-diameter asteroid has been sent, please sign for it!"

The Moyang Empire Command Center finally received Ren Xiao's communication, and Li Yunpeng relaxed and proved that this grandson was still alive.

But an asteroid with a diameter of 11 kilometers?

Li Yunpeng was very happy. It seemed that the benefits of deep-space exploration were too great, let alone the value of these trillion tons of resources.

Transporting trillions of tons of resources from Saturn to space is not a small price.

"Tell Ren Xiao, report your location regularly, and be careful of alien traps!"

"Yes!"

However, after the news was sent, Ren Xiao didn't get a reply, and he didn't know if he received it.

With the current technology of the end sun empire, interstellar communication needs to know each other's coordinates, and there are traces of the orbit of the Saturn star, and Ren Xiao can communicate at any time.

However, his position is erratic, and the photon communication from the Last Sun Empire may not be able to be accurately sent to Ren Xiao's battleship.

When the communication photon sent by the Last Sun Empire reached the asteroid belt, Ren Xiao might no longer be in the original position.

With trillion tons of material as the foundation, the space industry is bound to flourish, and large-scale fleets will no longer be a luxury.

The design of the second-generation interstellar battleship of the Last Sun Empire has been completed, and this time the battleship is different from the past.

Not only is the volume larger, but the functions are more suitable for interstellar warfare.

The codename of this interstellar warship is Hive X-01. It is 1500 meters long, 500 meters wide, 400 meters high, and weighs 800,000 tons. It can carry 500 unmanned fighters inside and is mainly used for close combat and planetary invasion operations.

The new generation of laser weapons on the mothership has a range of 10 million kilometers, and the number of various secondary weapons is double that of the Explorer.

It is the main force of the future interstellar war.

The asteroid that Ren Xiao sent back, due to the continuous deceleration, will take another year to reach Saturn. Now the Explorer is still the main force of the space force. One month later, the number of interstellar warships owned by the Doom Empire reaches 200. , Are all arranged in the orbit of Saturn.

It can be said that it is a fly now, and if you want to fly out of the moon star, you have to ask the end sun empire if it agrees.

Atadi, who needed to look up in the past, now seems to Li Yunpeng to be a turtle in the urn.

The key question Li Yunpeng needs to face at this time is which way to unify the world, peace or force.

After careful consideration, the Xizhou Alliance decided to accept Li Yunpeng’s invitation to join the Moyang Empire and become a first-class citizen in order to avoid expensive breathing taxes.

Grant who got the news was like an ant on a hot pot, rushing around in a hurry.

Looking at the world, it is now that my own power is not controlled by Li Yunpeng!

Oh yes, if you want to count, Altadi is also considered one, but their situation is not much better.

"General Commander, in fact, we still have a bargaining chip. I believe Li Yunpeng is definitely not willing to let the world fall into a radiation crisis again, right?"

"Fart, people have mastered the nuclear radiation cleaning technology, will you be afraid of this?"

"Huh, it's not fake to be able to clean up nuclear radiation, but does he still want to die together? We have a huge hydrogen bomb as our trump card!"

Grande's eyes lit up, almost dazzled by the critical situation!

"Yes, we still have the hole cards, and... contact Atadi, when it's this time, don't hide and tuck it, take out all the things that should be taken out, we may still be in the end of the sun empire Under threat, preserve the existing territory!"

"Yes, yes, let's get in touch with your subordinates!"
