National development: I build a base on the rock beast

The account transfer was successful and he said goodbye to Bai Xianglu. Duan Ming instructed the fire rock beast to move along the mining area.

He is not going to go back to the previous area, which has been almost eaten by the fire rock beasts. He wants to find a new "store" to give the fire rock beasts a change of taste.

With the help of the insect girl's exploration module talent, the Fire Rock Beast came to a brand new area in this mining area. There were fewer broken ores on the outside, and the further inside, the higher the quality of the metal ore.

Watching the worker bees resume their work, Duan Ming also studied the two 125mm caliber rail turrets.

Where is the best place to place them?

Since the cnidarian turret and laser turret existed from the very beginning, when the Fire Rock Beast's body length was not that big, they were placed on the base side. With the defense measures in the middle, it was time to reinforce both sides.

On the back of both sides of the fire rock beast, there is a magnetic rail turret on each side. In this way, the fire rock beast has no defensive blind spots.

…

Lying on the rocking chair, Duan Ming opened the chat area.

"Does anyone know the price of a small spaceship?"

This time it was a short distance move. If the distance was longer, it would be better to rely on the fire rock beast to move forward with a small spaceship.

Not long after, there was a reply in the chat area: "Small spaceship? You have to spend at least seven digits of star coins to buy it. You are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue!"

Duan Ming didn't want to pretend to be X, but seeing that this reply was full of pertinence, he had to pretend.

"Hey! Where's the seven-digit number? Then I can get a few for fun at most!"

After closing the chat area, Duan Ming stood up and came to the interstellar computer. The second scientific research project he took on some time ago has already produced results.

"On the Importance of Hyperorephiles for Mineral Compressors."

This is not a special topic, but at this stage, the only pioneer who has access to mineral compressors is Duan Ming, and he became the first to try it.

The research results were sent to the Earth Star Research Institute, and the institute was shocked again!

"The guy who came up with the plan of a mineral compressor made entirely of super minerals is a fucking genius!"

"He also said that if this kind of mineral compressor is really developed, it might be possible to try to compress extremely hard rare metal ores. If this is achieved, the transportation cost of rare metal ores will be greatly reduced in the future!"

Duan Ming, who was far away in the universe, did not expect that a few random suggestions he made would be so valued by the group of experts and professors at the institute...

Three days later, all the broken ore in the area in front of them had been swallowed up by the fire rock beasts, and deeper still, the worker bees discovered an unknown metal mine.

After being devoured by the fire rock beast and refined by the mineral processing center, this unknown metal ore was right in front of Duan Ming.

I sent a video call invitation to Tang Yaqing, and Tang Yaqing's smiling face appeared on the other side within a moment.

"Duan Ming, do you know that you are famous again?"

Duan Ming was stunned, but before he could ask, Tang Yaqing continued: "The Dilian Research Institute has appointed you as a non-staff researcher! You are now considered a member of the public family!"

Listening to Tang Yaqing's story, it turned out that the research institute believed that Duan Ming's report was very feasible, so it gave him such a false title and asked him to develop a mineral compressor entirely made of super minerals.

The most important thing is that the institute will not give him any material support, but only verbal encouragement.

Duan Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking in his mind: "Leave it to me to do something that is laborious and not necessarily pleasing to the eye? Just dream!"

Point the video to this batch of location metal mines.

"Are you going to accept this kind of metal ore?"

This is Duan Ming's real purpose in finding Tang Yaqing.

After a moment of silence, Tang Yaqing's voice came: "Take part of it and compress it with a mineral compressor."

According to Tang Yaqing, five minutes later, the unknown metal ore compressed by the mineral compressor appeared in the video.

"Huh? This seems to be a kind of metal mine that my grandfather once saw. I can't see it clearly in the video. Send me the coordinates and I'll go there now."

After hanging up the call, Duan Ming was in a good mood. Tang Yaqing's willingness to come in person proved that the value of these metal mines was not small, and he should be able to make a lot of money again!

Looking at Chong Girl who was sweeping the floor with a broom: "Chong Girl, do you feel bored doing these trivial things every day?"

The insect girl stopped moving and turned to look at Duan Ming.

"I will do whatever the master tells me to do."

Duan Ming smiled, and a clever idea to play tricks on the insect girl appeared in his mind.

Walking up to the insect girl, Duan Ming looked her up and down and said, "Why don't I propose marriage to you? Tell me, what kind of creatures do you Zerg like?"

The insect girl was startled. Judging from her expression, she was really shocked by Duan Ming's words.

"Marriage? What is marriage?"

The corners of Duan Ming's mouth turned up more obviously, he came close to the insect girl's ear and whispered something.

The next moment, the insect girl's ears turned red, and her two short beards stood up straight.

"Insect Girl doesn't want anyone, she must stay with her master!"

…

Tang Yaqing's spaceship docked on the back of the Fire Rock Beast. She stepped off the spacecraft. Tang Yaqing squatted on the ground and carefully observed the metal positions. She murmured: "It looks like, it does look very similar..."

He stood up and looked at Duan Ming: "How much of this kind of metal mine do you have?"

Duan Ming dodged and raised his hand to point to the mining area in the distance: "I can refine and compress as much as there is."

Looking around, the whole area is covered with such unknown metal mines. Even Tang Yaqing, who has seen the world, can't help but take a breath.

After a while, Tang Yaqing gave her price.

"For every cubic meter of compressed metal, I will give you one million star coins, as much as you want!"

This price is more than ten times higher than the previous metal mine.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Duan Ming asked: "What kind of metal is this?"

Tang Yaqing's expression was a little hesitant.

"I can't tell you this because it involves the secrets of our Tang family."

secret? Isn't the secret of the Tang family the superpower of metal detection and control?

After thinking for a long time, Duan Ming said: "It can be seen that this metal is a good thing. Apart from your Tang family, other big families must also be interested, right?"

Waiting for a price and selling, this is the most basic method for businessmen, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Tang Yaqing looked a little anxious and said hurriedly: "In this way, if I am sure that these metals are indeed what our family is looking for, I can replace grandpa and make three short guarantees to you!"

The Tang family's empty guarantee means that when Duan Ming needs it, he can make three requests to the Tang family, and the other party cannot refuse.

Duan Ming is very satisfied with this condition.

"Okay, take the metal back, and I will continue to refine and compress it. I'll wait for your news."
