Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

After the engineering ship is launched, navigation beacons and mining bases can be built in the explored star system.

Although the star ring is rich in mineral deposits, it will be exhausted one day.

In just four years, some commonly used minerals have been depleted.

The "Iron Slave" mining ship had to go further to the asteroid belt to mine.

Once the transport ship and engineering ship are launched, the planetary mining plan will be put on the agenda.

Ground engineering equipment, such as transport vehicles, and large mining equipment are in preparation.

These are not advanced gadgets, and the Mechanic Cult can toss them out casually.

"Wang, it's getting late, go to bed earlier..."

According to the current time of the empire, it is already the dead of night.

Outside, the star was already on the other side of Star One, making the back of the planet dark.

As soon as Sandra said this, Erin, who was kneeling on both sides of the recliner, stood up quickly.

Looking at the starry sky outside, Li Meng waved his hand and said, "Go back first, I will stay alone for a while."

Hearing this, Sandra got up and stood up.

She didn't say much, just saluted "Wang" with her long skirt in both hands.

Then he twisted his waist and walked towards the direction of the golden gate, leaving Li Meng with only a wonderful back view.

He looked at Mrs. Sandra's leaving back, and then looked at Wang.

The two sisters glanced at each other, and bowed to the "Wang" with their long skirts in hand.

Then walked away...

After the three girls left, Li Meng was the only one left in the huge hall.

Standing up, Li Meng came to the glass wall and quietly looked at the starry sky outside.

And his thoughts have already shuttled through the subspace...

……

S-01894 star system.

The starry sky is vast, dark yet full of stars.

In a dark universe, a giant ship is sailing.

The thrusters at the tail spewed out hundreds of meters of white tail flame, and its shining ion brilliance was like a comet piercing the starry sky.

In the bridge...

"Received a message from "Regent", this star system is S-01894."

The astropath in the purple robe suddenly spoke, breaking the silence on the bridge.

On the captain's chair, Ralph sat upright in a brown military uniform.

He looked at a technology priest not far away, and said, "Update the star map and record the coordinates of this star system."

After finishing the words, Ralph said again: "How is the data collection of the solar system going?"

Tech Priest: "The information has been sent..."

Ralph clicked on the button on the gauntlet.

On the other side of the gauntlet, a blue light shot out, turning into a holographic screen in front of Ralph.

On the screen is a star map, and under the scanning of the auspicious array, large celestial bodies have been captured.

The S-01894 star system has eleven planets, seventeen observable satellites, and the asteroid belt is located in the outer circle.

"Hey, is this a habitable planet?"

Suddenly, Ralph was attracted by a green and reddish planet.

But when he saw the information, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ralph's eyes.

That is not a habitable planet, but liquid methane exists on the surface of the planet.

Although it is only a prediction, it will not be too far from the truth.

According to the habit of the "Regent", the green planet is marked as the "Number 7" star.

Although it is not a livable planet, but...

After thinking about it, Ralph ordered: "First go to Star Seven..."

There are many colors on the surface of the planet, and there may be some precious special minerals.

Navigator: "Star No. 7 has been locked, subspace navigation time: three seconds, timed!"

Tech priest: "Geller's force field is activated, and the outer protective armor is closed..."

In the bridge, the sound of machinery running suddenly sounded.

The protective armor outside the window is slowly closed, from top to bottom, from bottom to top.

Tech Priest: "The subspace engine starts, countdown: 5, 4, 3..."

Out there, in the dark universe.

On the sailing ship HFB-1, the space in front of the bow suddenly distorted.

A red vortex quickly emerged.

The HFB-1 ship sailing at high speed crashed into it and disappeared without a trace.

Disappearing with it is the red swirl.

Seconds later, in the universe outside the gravity well of a green planet.

The space suddenly distorted, strangely turning into a huge red vortex.

The next moment, a giant ship rushed out of the vortex.

The engine nozzle at its tail sprayed out more dazzling white tail flames, pushing the giant ship towards the No. [-] star.

"Colonel Ralph, a high-energy heat source has been detected on the surface of star 7. It is a man-made construction project, and the optical equipment has captured the target."

Man-made construction projects?
The screen in front of him flickered, and a vertical angle screen was reflected in Ralph's eyes.

In a swamp of green liquid methane, there is a mining base.

It's not very big, it's round, like a steamed stuffed bun, and it's green in color as a whole, blending well with the environment.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

There is also a large mobile machinery operating in the nearby swamp.

There is a long pipeline behind the large machinery, one end is connected to the machine, the other end is connected to the bun base,

There are a lot of them, eight of them.

There is also a transport ship docked next to the Baozi base.

Boxy, like two containers merged together, not big, about 150 meters long.

Seeing this, Ralph frowned.

Rebels?

Meanwhile, on the surface of the planet.

Alarm bells blared in the mining base.

Running figures can be seen in the large and small metal passages.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Fleet, Shigemitsuke, an unknown spaceship has appeared in the outer space of Ma Xing Liu and is entering the orbit of the planet. Do you want to call the other party?"

In the main control room, Shigemitsuke stood in front of the holographic imaging platform with a very ugly face.

On the platform, there is a planet simulated by blue light.

And in the orbit of the planet, there is a simulated warship.

Shigemitsuke's expression changed when he saw the shape of the battleship.

That's the enemy...

A few years ago, in the S-01909 star system, the Xinjing Shogunate encountered enemies.

At that time, the Xinjing Shogunate tasted the taste of failure for the first time.

The unknown force has the Warhammer 40K technology template, so it is called Warhammer by the "Xinjing Shogunate".

Although the Warhammer forces won the war, they did not occupy the S-01909 star system.

After two years, Shigemitsuke did not expect the Warhammer forces to appear in the S-01894 star system.

Since the "Xinjing Shogunate" occupied this star system for a short period of time, no defense facilities were built at all.

The purpose of mining methane is only to make pigments, and it is not too important a resource.

Therefore, Liu Maxing does not have any defensive force.

There is only such a base with less than two hundred staff.
