In the face of overwhelming power, no matter what the Pangulid giant elves think or do, they cannot interfere with the fleet's exploitation of resources.

The efficiency of interstellar mining equipment is very gratifying. Every resource point in the world is continuously producing various raw materials. Batch after batch of minerals fills each warehouse, and the daily income is considerable.

During the mining process, some exploration teams discovered more resources deep underground, causing the planet's valuation to increase again.

Han Xiao looked at the report and felt comfortable.

Although the benefits of mining those civilized resource planets in Broken Star Ring are not small, after all, they are sharing dividends on other people's territory, which is somewhat constrained and not free enough. However, mining the Glittering World resource planets discovered by oneself can be done with great fanfare, as long as it is not destroyed.

If it is mined in a formal way, the empire will not interfere much.

These rare materials can be sold to the empire, or they can be brought back to the Broken Star Ring for wholesale sales. Han Xiao temporarily hoards them and lets professional marketing personnel be responsible for the sales, trying to sell them at a high price.

After the Star Gate was built, an imperial team came through, greeted Han Xiao, and then joined the effort to collect resources, bringing professionals to take over the work of educating the indigenous people.

After completing the simple handover, Han Xiao recovered some of his manpower.

The preliminary exploration of Pangulid Planet was completed, and only mining was needed next. He decided to stay on this planet for two days to let the players do some activities before setting off to explore the next planet.

Now all legion players have explored the first planet and have a certain understanding of the mechanism of the Shining World mission. Players who encounter resource planets are faced with a choice, that is, they can choose to stay and mine resources.

Ordinary players naturally refuse. How can they give up an entire forest because of a tree? However, many first-line guilds in China are just the opposite, because the core backbone of most guilds follow Han Xiao's main fleet, Pangulide Star.

The rich resources make them reluctant to give up.

For the guild, ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand. They need long-term resource points to provide revenue for the guild. The four major wealthy families in China and the first-line guilds have many members, leaving a group of peripheral manpower to mine resource points here. .

Because the output of large-scale mining equipment belongs to the legion, these guilds purchase a batch of worker bee armors from the legion and distribute them to the left-behind personnel to mine on their own. This part of the output is the long-term income of the guild.

Players have their own ways to generate income, and Han Xiao will not stop them. This is just a small profit, and it will not hinder players from exerting their own subjective initiative. The more these guilds are satisfied, the more they identify with the legion.

The club guild of Lao, Lao and Lao from the Constellation Corridor has developed a group of peripheral personnel during this period. They have imitated each other and reluctantly allocated people to stay at the resource points, hoping to get a share of the pie. Seeing this, the four wealthy families

The plan is to wait for the large army to leave, and then ask other front-line guilds to help, and cause trouble for these outsiders, so that these foreign guilds cannot collect resources with peace of mind. As long as the large army leaves, the manpower left on this planet will be at their mercy.

In version 4.0 of the previous life, guilds from various countries had a great time destroying each other's resource points in the Glittering World. Now the guilds of Lao Russia and Lao Australia are in the headquarters of the Chinese Guild, and the Chinese Guild will not sit back and watch its competitors develop in peace.

Because Han Xiao allowed some players to cross star domains in advance, guild competition appeared earlier than in previous lives.

…

Planet Pangulide, a certain sea area.

It was stormy and stormy, and the waves were surging.

A mining base is located on the sea, motionless in the turbulent sea. A semicircular energy shield is looming, covering the entire base. The violent waves hit the shield, leaving patches of white foam.

At the edge of the base, soldiers wearing underwater work armor carried detection equipment and went into the water one after another. Some of them were players. There was a vein of molten crystal below the base. These people went into the water to detect the situation in this sea area.

Maple Moon also accepted this task. She wore underwater armor, cruised underwater, and quickly dived thousands of meters.

All he could see was the dark blue seawater, extending into the distance. The seawater turned into pitch black, full of unknown fear. There was silence in his ears, only the beeping sound of radar detection, his own breathing and the pounding heartbeat in his chest.

Voice.

This silent and terrifying atmosphere made Maple Moon tremble a little and almost wanted to shrink into a ball.

"It's better to go back... At worst, I won't do this mission..." Maple Moon was afraid. Although the combat power reached B level, the character's attributes would not bring any mentality bonus to the player. She should be afraid as much as she should be. She felt that she

May have mild phobia of the deep sea.

Just as he was preparing to surface, the radar suddenly sounded an alarm.

"A large life form has been detected! The target is approaching!"

The surrounding seawater surged, and Maple Moon's body was uncontrollable and drifted with the current. She hurriedly opened the stabilizer, and white light erupted from the armor's ribs, and then she stabilized her body.

Before she could look around, the radar showed a light spot rushing towards her at the speed of a missile.

Maple Moon turned her head in panic. Suddenly, a huge monster suddenly appeared in her field of vision. It had countless webbed claws and a head like a plesiosaur, and opened its bloody mouth towards her.

Her vision went dark and she was swallowed in one gulp.

After the hunt was over, the monster slowed down and was about to enjoy its meal when its huge body suddenly twitched, looking extremely painful.

The next moment, dazzling blue light exploded from the monster's body, blowing it to pieces.

Bang!!

Purple blood and minced meat splashed into the sea, and Maple Moon's armor was covered in viscous liquid, mixed with blood and gastric juices.

Looking at this bloody scene, Maple Moon quickly turned on the green, healthy and refreshing mode, and then felt that the picture was much more harmonious.

She was just frightened and forgot to resist for a moment. After she came to her senses, she used the combat power of a B-level mechanic to kill an ordinary beast very easily.

Maple Moon recovered the explosive turret around her. She couldn't stand the atmosphere of the deep sea and was about to surface. The radar suddenly reminded her that she had detected an abnormal metal object inside the monster's tattered body.

"What did I find?" Maple Moon's eyes flickered. As a plot player, her curiosity has always been very strong, and she had an intuition that she might have discovered some hidden element.

After hesitating for half a second, she stopped floating, endured nausea, and searched for the monster's body, releasing the magnetic force in her palms.

Bang! A metal object about one meter long was absorbed into his hand.

It looked like some kind of detection probe. It was in tatters and full of traces of corrosion. The surface was dented in several places, like bite marks from creatures.

[You found an unknown detector]

[Unknown probe: This seems to be the remains of some kind of space probe. It has been severely damaged. Its technological content far exceeds that of the natives of this planet. It seems to come from other civilizations. Maybe it contains some information. You can try

Appraisal, you can also give it to special people in exchange for rewards...or you can try to repair it and activate it, which will lead to special consequences, please choose carefully (requires mechanical ability)]

[You gain 6 personal exploration points]

"This is a hidden mission prop!"

Maple Moon's eyes sparkled, and she instantly put aside the fear of the deep sea. She looked over and over at the unknown detector in her hand, full of interest. She liked to explore this kind of unknown plot the most.

Without saying a word, she immediately returned to the base with the props, without even taking off her armor, and hurriedly began to identify the detector. Her mechanical ability met the requirements, and the results quickly popped up on the panel.

[Identification completed! You get [Damaged Positioning Beacon]. This object uses space beacon positioning, remote quantum connection, gravity space voyage and other technologies. Current status: serious damage, system failure, all functions stop running]

"The level of technology is not low." Maple Moon was surprised. This has reached the level of a galaxy-level civilization. Does this mean that the Pangulid star has been discovered by a certain civilization?

It is also possible that this beacon may have broken down in the universe and lost its positioning ability. Finally, it was captured by the gravity of the Pangulid star, fell into the deep sea, and was swallowed by marine life as food. Otherwise, the Pangulid star may have been there long ago.

Visitor.

Maple Moon was caught in a tangle. This beacon was valuable information. If it was handed over to the legion for processing, she would definitely be rewarded.

However, she couldn't help but be curious and wanted to repair the beacon to see what the "special consequences" in the prop description were and who it would attract.

After hesitating for a while, Maple Moon gritted her teeth, curiosity taking over.

[You use [Intermediate Repair] on [Broken Positioning Beacon]!]

[The judgment is in progress...The judgment is passed, and your level, intelligence, professional knowledge and skill level meet the prerequisites]

[Repair progress 2%...14%...35%...]

[After the repair is completed, you get [a barely repaired positioning beacon]!]

Feng Yue was overjoyed and chose to activate the beacon without saying anything.

Didi... the indicator light of the beacon lit up, sending invisible quantum positioning data to the receiving end of the unknown force.

[You trigger the hidden mission [Beacon of Unknown Origin]!]

[Mission introduction: You discovered a high-tech positioning beacon on an indigenous planet in the Glittering World. You don’t know who placed this beacon, but you chose to repair and activate the beacon and send the location information.

Go out, maybe this will attract unknown forces...]

[Task requirement: Contact the unknown force that dropped the beacon]

[Task reward: 3 million experience points, 70 personal exploration points, [Bold Explorer] skill fragment x1 (2 fragments can be synthesized)]

[[Bold Explorer]: Special skill. When exploring unknown locations, identifying unknown props, etc., you can use this skill to gain inspiration and forcefully obtain part of the information. It can be used repeatedly on a target, and the cooling time is 7 days. Each time

If used, oneself will acquire the negative status [Reckless], and the luck attribute will be reduced by 60%, lasting for 14 days]

[Note: As long as you are brave, the universe is my home]

[This mission is linked to the main mission of Glittering World. You can report the situation to the camp to which the main mission belongs and get help from the NPC camp (strongly recommended)]

"Reward skill fragments? This kind of mission reward is so rare. You can actually ask the camp for help... Does this mean that the consequences of activating the beacon are serious..." Maple Moon was surprised.

When she thought of handing it in, the figure of the legion commander appeared in her mind.

…

"Did you find a beacon of advanced civilization on this planet?"

Looking at the beacon in Maple Moon's hand, Han Xiao had doubts in his eyes.

Originally he thought Maple Moon was just here to learn skills, but unexpectedly she brought him a hidden item.

Currently, only the Empire is developing this area, so this beacon can only come from an unknown indigenous civilization in Glittering World. According to the technological content, the person who placed it should have a galaxy-level development level.

This beacon uses conventional propellers and gravity flight technology. Even if it flies for hundreds of years, its speed will be limited, so the civilization that placed the beacon should be in this galaxy.

However, Han Xiao remembered that in his previous life, there was no local galaxy civilization in the galaxy on the southern border of the Gaolu Star Cluster. The Scarlet Empire’s exploration data did not show that he had encountered galaxy-level civilization here, and he did not learn from those explored during the version update in his previous life.

I have heard of similar incidents from NPCs.

Could it be that the civilization that placed the beacon has been destroyed long ago, and now only the ruins are left? This possibility is not impossible.
To be continued...
