This satellite should have been hit by a T-slot doomsday weapon. The satellite with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers was directly blown to pieces. The huge crust cracked like a cracked eggshell, and the hot star core material spewed out, surrounding it.

A belt of cooled small meteorites is formed in the orbit of the planet.

"What a brutal war!"

Li Qing clicked his tongue and his eyes fell on the cooled small meteorite belt. The sensor scanned the cooled small meteorite belt and detected star core material.

Star core material is a good thing. It is generally only found in the core of a planet. It contains many ultra-rare special materials. It is a necessary material for making top-level technological creations. The price is very expensive, up to 500 million star yuan per square.

In normal mining, one can only set up deep core mining shafts on the planet to slowly extract the star core material, and be careful not to extract too much and not affect the stability of the planet.

It is worth mentioning that theoretically all planets have core material, but in fact the core material content of most planets is not high.

There is a saying in the sea of ​​stars that is not supported by scientific theory. The amount of core material contained in a planet has nothing to do with the size of the planet, but is related to the environment and structure of the planet.

To put it bluntly, it depends on whether your planet has the potential to become a life planet.

Desolate planets generally do not have much star core material, while living planets must have a large amount of star core material.

Similarly, the content of star core material also determines whether the planet has the potential to be transformed into a habitable planet.

It is usually not allowed to directly explode stars to collect star core materials. It is said to be an unspoken rule in the new universe. Li Qing doesn't know where this statement comes from, but he has never seen anyone use the method of star explosions to collect star core materials.

Collect star core material.

So encountering an unexpectedly broken planet is definitely a godsend.

He used radar to scan the surrounding area to determine the patrol behavior of nearby wild monsters, and then ordered the fleet to fly in the direction of the Broken Satellite.

After radar scanning, two small fleets will pass back and forth through the broken satellite area. He needs to eliminate these two small fleets in order to safely collect the star core material.

Fortunately, it is only a small fleet. If it were a large fleet, there would be nothing we can do.

The two small fleets were not patrolling together, but one was on the other side and the other was on this side. He sent three frigates to lure them over, and then the main force rushed up to attack them and easily eliminated them.

Then use the same method to lure the other one over, and then use the same method to eliminate it.

Then several mining ships and industrial ships were released to start working, collecting star core materials floating in the void.

It is obvious that Li Qing is one of the first players to come to this galaxy, otherwise the star core material would not have been his turn. If it were near Jinmen Province, it would have been looted by previous pioneering players.

This batch of star core material seems to be a lot, and the cooled lava meteorites stretch for thousands of kilometers, but in fact they do not contain much star core material.

After all, it is just a small moon, not a large planet. Most of it contains rare minerals and elements that are only found in various star cores. The actual star core material is estimated to only have a few units.

But this thing costs 500 million stars per unit. As long as you get one unit, you will make a lot of money.

It took almost half a day to collect all the meteorites formed from the star core lava. The mining ship returned to the palm of the universe. Now that there is no rare element refining equipment on hand, we can only wait to return to the Jialan team and use the team equipment to refine it, or go back next time by ourselves.

Order a set.

After the collection was completed, Li Qing took a look at the broken satellite shell. It must contain a large amount of ores and planetary materials, but the collection would take a long time, and he did not have the time.

Unfortunately, the fragments are too large to fit within the maximum ten-kilometer storage diameter of the Palm Universe, otherwise they would just be taken away in a pot.

I didn't leave after that, because the signal coordinates were on the planet, coincidentally just below the orbit of the broken satellite, and there was no need to change its position.

This planet is a very common desolate planet, but it has a thick atmosphere and many places on the surface are covered with thick layers of ice, indicating that the planet has water and an atmosphere, and the planet's orbit is also in the habitable zone of the star.

, the climate conditions are not harsh, and theoretically this desolate planet has the possibility of becoming a life planet.

However, this may get lower and lower over time until it is almost impossible.

If any planet has the possibility of becoming a life planet, within two to three billion years after the formation of the planet, the planet's most active geological stage will slowly form an ecosystem of a life planet.

Judging from the structure of this desolate planet, it is obviously older than this optimal age. Unless something unexpected happens, it is basically impossible to slowly evolve an ecosystem on its own.

However, the two key factors of water and atmosphere are present, indicating that this planet can be transformed into a habitable planet through environmental transformation, and the cost of transformation is lower than that of other desolate planets.

If there is such a planet in the system where the outpost is located, the expeditionary force will definitely try to transform it.

The signal coordinates were located in a plateau mountain covered by thick ice. Five frigates slowly descended and sank into the violent atmosphere. Just after passing through the thick atmosphere, they suddenly received an attack alert. It was a missile from the planet.

Internally launched missile.

The frigate's own point defense system sprays a barrage of flames, easily intercepting and destroying missiles.

The battleship's tracking system immediately found the launch site of the missile, but it turned out to be a hole on the mountainside of a high mountain among the barren mountains, and the missile flew out of the hole.

It is obvious that this planet was once a military base of an ancient civilization. It experienced a great war and was destroyed, but there are still some remaining military facilities that have not been completely destroyed.

Li Qing pressed his palm on the map light screen in front of him and spread his fingers to enlarge the map. Looking at the picture displayed on the projected map, he pressed his head and felt a little headache:

"Damn it, do you want me to send the Marines to land?"

The coordinates are located in this mountain range, but apart from thick layers of ice, most of which are various wreckage, craters, and broken military facilities, nothing of value can be seen.

There isn't one on the surface, it's naturally inside the mountain.

"It's all here..."

Li Qing could only prepare the ground forces in the universe in his hand. Three clone squadrons and three robot assault squadrons were preparing to land on the industrial ship.

Two hours later, a medium-sized troop carrier appeared out of thin air above the planet's orbit and began to drop ground troops.

The Marine Corps' landing on a planet generally depends on the planet's conditions and the scale of the mission. Small-scale landings are usually launched directly into the planet using landing modules, while large-scale landings are carried out by troop transport ships.

The landing of 600 people can only be considered a small-scale mission. Launch modules flew out of the troop carrier one by one and shot into the planet like meteors.

The launch and landing module looks like a chopstick and has a very strong structure. After passing through the thick atmosphere, it fell to the ground and was inserted into the soil, rocks or ice, and the soldiers inside were unscathed.

Li Qing was sitting in the battleship, and the light screen in front of him clearly showed that the landing hatches inserted into the ground were opened one by one, and fully armed clone soldiers or robot assault soldiers filed out of them one by one, and quickly gathered into small teams to guard.

Although they are just the lowest cannon fodder troops, don't doubt their professionalism.

Clones are professionally trained cannon fodder troops. They go from embryo to adulthood in just a few months and have only a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. Before leaving the factory, all clones will be equipped with specialized skill chips inserted into their brains depending on their positioning, allowing them to

They are born with professional skills that can be put to use immediately.

Like the clone troops, they are naturally equipped with military-related skills. There are three in total, namely infantry professional combat skills, special operations, and battlefield adaptation to special environments.

The combination of the three skills allows them to face most combat environments.

All the skills of the clone troopers that have just left the factory are only lv1. The skill level can be improved through combat. In theory, it can be upgraded to lv10, which is a level 10 clone trooper. Not only does the combat skill become very powerful, but also there is a chance to break fate.

Level 10 clone warriors can receive advanced genetic modulation technology. Dozens of genetic surgeries can not only make up for the genetic defects of the clones, but also make them stronger, like Superman.

But the most critical thing for human cloning is that these advanced gene modulation technologies can allow them to break through the original twenty or thirty year lifespan like natural humans, and obtain the status of imperial citizens, no longer cannon fodder without human rights.

Although it is very difficult, the empire produces trillions of clone cannon fodder every year, but there are less than 100,000 clone warriors who can survive countless life and death battles until the end.

But this is an opportunity after all, and it is also the life goal of all clones.

Under the command of their respective commanders, three hundred clone warriors and three hundred robot assault soldiers quickly found several entrances and exits in the area. With the cooperation of several frigates parked above, they destroyed the entrances and then broke into them.

Li Qing did nothing. Professional things should be done by professionals. The fleet command was okay, but he was a complete amateur in ground combat. His command would be a disaster for his subordinates.

Li Qing has considered that in the future, when the number of warships under his command reaches a certain number, he will find a few powerful fleet commanders to share the workload.

It's not that he can't direct it.

He has super high innate attributes that are far superior to other players. Whether it is perception and memory, mind and spirit, etc., it has benefits for command, allowing him to react quickly and respond accurately when facing complex battles.

Although he is not as good as a natural-born general who is born to eat this kind of rice, as a fleet commander, as long as he does not make mistakes and has the ability to bring out all the combat power of his subordinates, he is a very good commander.

The main reason is that when there are more warships and bases are established in the future, the situation he will face becomes more and more complex. Many times he has to do different things at the same time and is unable to do anything at all. At this time, he needs several fleet commanders to help command the fleet.

It doesn't matter whether it's a player or a fleet commander you recruit, as long as you can use it with confidence, it's fine.

After waiting for about an hour and a half, intermittent communication finally came with good news that the underground base at the coordinate location had been explored.

In addition to a large amount of steel alloys stored in underground warehouses, a hidden secret room was also discovered at the bottom, which contained some data chips.

Half an hour later, a silver-white metal box that had been checked was moved to Li Qing and opened.

The metal box was filled with cold air. Inside was a delicate metal shelf with many data chips inserted into it.

Li Qing casually took one out, and a metal ball floated behind the seat. He inserted the data chip into a socket in the metal ball. The light curtain popped up in front of his eyes, and dense data fell down like a waterfall.

This is a data decoder that specializes in decoding various unknown data chips and extracting information and data.

In just two minutes, the waterfall-like data began to turn into information that he recognized. This showed that the technological level of this data chip was definitely not comparable to the level of human civilization.

After the complete decoding was completed, the data appeared in front of him. After just one glance, Li Qing showed a hint of surprise.

What this chip contains is part of a planetary environment transformation technology...

To be precise, it is part of a certain environmental transformation technology.

Generally, the planetary environment is not static. Even if they are both ocean planets, the environment inside will be very different. Therefore, planetary environment modification technology is a very complicated technology with almost no limits.

There was only a small part in front of him, and Li Qing couldn't figure it out, so he decoded the chips inside one by one, and then put them together into a complete piece of information.

When all the data chips were combined into one, a complete planetary environment modification technology appeared in front of him, and it was also a very rare technology, a top-level technology that players could not obtain under normal circumstances.

Moreover, Li Qing discovered that this set of planetary environment modification technology seems to be specific to this planet.

In other words, the original purpose of the owner of this technology is to transform the current planet into a livable planet through planetary transformation technology.

It's a pity that the technology was just developed and before it could be implemented, the base suffered a devastating blow and nothing happened.

However, Li Qing felt that it was not just the planet that was hit, but the civilization that was also hit and then wiped out.

If there was no genocide and the base on this planet was just hit and destroyed, there should still be clan members to clean up the mess.

And at this time, Li Qing had a huge doubt in his mind, where is this destroyed civilization...its mother planet?

This destroyed civilization should not be any of the three alien civilizations in the Zutar star field. When he saw the space station of the Shatta Tribe Alliance before, he had guessed whether the Shatta Tribe Alliance had colonized here.

But whether it is the wreckage of the warship floating in the orbit of the planet or the architectural style on the planet, it is fundamentally different from those three civilizations, and it is absolutely impossible to be any of the three.

"wrong!"

Li Qing suddenly woke up and ordered the fleet to re-scan the surroundings. He was surprised to find that the wreckage of battleships all over the planet were of the same type, and no battleships of the second style were found.

This also means that there is either a civil war.

Either there was a fleet that they could not resist and swept across them directly. Even such a large-scale battle did not cause them to lose a single battleship.
Chapter completed!
