Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 367 Scavengers

There is a wormhole in the galaxy that Chen Ming chose.

Whether it is a normal wormhole or a wormhole that moves around a star like now, it means that the galaxy that Chen Ming named Origin is connected to a galaxy in the universe.

And the other galaxy behind such a special wormhole is likely to be an extremely special galaxy.

Chen Ming decided not to approach the wormhole for the time being. Instead, he first looked at whether other planets had similar problems.

The Supreme Point shut down all its non-essential devices and started the galaxy-level sensor at full power to conduct an ultra-high-power scan of the Origin Galaxy.

After the scan, Chen Ming did not find any problems with most of the planets in the galaxy.

Only the orbits of the habitable planet and habitable satellite here have many spaceship wreckage.

The wreckage of the mechanical race's spaceship.

After confirming that there was no sign of any active activity in the area where the wreckage was gathered, the Supreme Point slowly approached.

It was so close that Chen Ming could see the ship graveyard through the porthole with his naked eyes.

This graveyard looks very strange, because all the wreckage inside is incomplete.

Of course, the wreckage should be incomplete, but the missing parts of these wreckages are surprisingly consistent.

All the ships are missing their weapon systems and main control systems, two important components.

All the ships seem to have been dug out by something.

On this basis, there are other missing parts of the ships.

So this is very strange.

Under normal circumstances, if a ship is sunk, it is indeed possible to lose its weapon system and main control system, but it is obviously wrong that all the ships that sank here have lost these two parts.

Chen Ming immediately sent several small boats to capture the wreckage of several ships and dragged them to the vicinity of the highest point, and inspected these wreckages to find out what happened.

However, whether it is the wreckage that Chen Ming dragged to the highest point or all the wreckage in this graveyard, none of them has a main control system left.

There is no clue left on any wreckage that can help him figure out how these ships sank here.

After all, the main control system was gone, along with any other storage units and any devices that could leave the necessary clues.

Even if Chen Ming wanted to restore the contents recorded in some recording devices through repair psychic energy, he had to at least find the original devices.

He couldn't use other materials to repair the lost storage units, and then restore the previous data from these things that were no different from newly manufactured and had never stored any content.

There was no connection at all.

He couldn't find any clues either.

He had no idea how this ship graveyard was formed, nor did he know who the ships here had clashed with and ended up like this.

Looking at the angles of the damaged ships here, Chen Ming even thought that this might be caused by the civil war of the mechanical race.

And he suddenly remembered that there were some nanorobots used for defense in the ruins half a year ago, which had the logical program to destroy the mechanical race.

Before, Chen Ming thought that the nanorobots were damaged after being stored for a long time.

But look at the situation here.

In the entire cemetery, he only saw the wreckage of the mechanical clan's ships. Only the mechanical clan's spacecraft was lost here, so it seems that there is indeed a possibility of civil war.

I don't know what kind of high-temperature weapons the mechanical clan used, which caused many of the wreckage of the ships to show signs of melting.

Even some of the wreckage of the main battleships that sank here are the same.

Chen Ming drove the spaceship into the cemetery area and observed everything around him.

He suddenly found that the position of some wreckage in this cemetery seemed wrong.

It didn't seem to be pulled into this state by the gravity of the planet below and the satellite next to it.

It seemed that some behemoth passed through this wreckage, causing the position of some spacecraft wreckage to change in an unexpected way.

Chen Ming carefully analyzed the data of the trajectory of the ship wreckage he had just obtained, and found that this wreckage area seemed to have been disturbed by some kind of external force of a behemoth.

That was a real behemoth, a behemoth larger than the wreckage of warships of various levels and even main battleships suspended in the orbit of the planet.

The power possessed by such an existence must be very terrifying.

However, Chen Ming did not feel scared or any other negative emotions.

Instead, he wanted to find some clues on these wreckages.

But no matter how Chen Ming searched, no matter how he asked the spacecraft to scan, he could not find any traces of external objects on these wreckages.

He could only find traces left by the wreckage itself and some things on other ships.

This can only prove that there was a close battle between these ships, but it cannot prove what kind of giant left such traces.

This actually further illustrates the possibility of a civil war among the mechanical race.

There is no way to determine what left such traces.

It can only be said that there are always many unknown things in the universe, which makes it impossible for people to figure out the reason for their existence.

Chen Ming has no fear of the unknown, only curiosity.

However, curiosity alone is useless. Without clues, there is no way.

Then Chen Ming could only temporarily put aside his curiosity about the wreckage of these spacecraft in orbit and go to the planet first to see if there would be any new clues on the planet.

Chen Ming approached the atmosphere of the habitable planet below, and after passing through the atmosphere, he activated the sensor of the highest point again and scanned the planet.

In the results of the scan, Chen Ming found that there were traces of a small number of buildings just below the wreckage area.

The entire planet is basically covered with dense vegetation, and this building area is no exception.

However, most of the buildings have collapsed due to the growth of vegetation.

Only a large building complex that looks exactly the same in appearance is still standing there.

Although many vegetation has climbed up the walls of these buildings, at least these buildings have not collapsed yet.

After a simple and quick scan to confirm that there are no moving objects and dangers.

Chen Ming let the highest point land nearby.

He put on his armor, got off the ship and approached the building complex alone.

In front of a building at the edge, Chen Ming saw a series of simple closed rolling shutter doors.

He reached out and repaired the rusted rolling shutter door, then opened it.

The light of the stars shone into the interior of the building.

Chen Ming was able to see that the building was full of metal plates of the same style that filled the entire interior space of the building.

These buildings are warehouses.

Chen Ming pulled up the rolling shutter door, and went to the building next door, repaired and opened a rolling shutter door.

It was the same inside, with the same specifications of metal plates piled up, but the material was another.

He continued to walk into the interior of the building complex, randomly opened the doors of a few warehouses, and found that each closed warehouse was full of various metal materials.

They were all neatly arranged metal plates of the same specifications, which looked very satisfying to the obsessive-compulsive disorder.

And just as Chen Ming continued to open the doors of the warehouses one by one.

An alarm suddenly sounded in the warehouse he opened.

He immediately gave up the idea of ​​entering the warehouse and prepared for trouble and battle.

However, he waited outside for a few minutes, but still did not wait for any threats or the protection of this warehouse.

His danger perception psychic power did not move at all.

Chen Ming was a little confused.

However, there was a reason for the current situation.

That is, the defense system linked to the alarm had been damaged in the endless time.

So Chen Ming temporarily put away his excessive vigilance and walked into the warehouse that had just sounded.

Then, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Turtle."

This warehouse was also filled with metal plates of the same specifications.

But it was not just that.

The materials of these metal plates were all special-grade metals. This was a warehouse full of special-grade materials.

The value it possessed might even be higher than the value of the resources that Chen Ming's pioneering fleet had spent all the way here.

At this moment, Chen Ming couldn't help but move his hands.

But he was still not in a hurry to really do it.

After all, he hadn't seen any existence that could take these resources away so far.

And judging from the architectural style of these warehouses, they were definitely things left by the Shining Civilization.

And Chen Ming felt that there were two possibilities for the source of these warehouse materials.

One possibility is that these resources were prepared by the Shining Civilization a long time ago when it wanted to develop this area.

With Chen Ming's understanding of the richness of the resources of the Shining Civilization, this is not impossible.

Combined with the situation when Chen Ming obtained the coordinates of this galaxy.

That is, Chen Ming obtained the coordinates of this location from a satellite left by a Shining Civilization on Raymu.

It means that it is very likely that these resources are used in the development process of the planet and galaxy under Chen Ming's feet towards Raymu.

Speaking of which, Chen Ming suddenly thought.

The satellite he discovered at the time should also be regarded as the legacy of the Shining Civilization.

Although it is damaged, if it is preserved to this day, he can try to repair the satellite.

And since the satellite of the Shining Civilization has determined the coordinates of the signal, it means that the signal it sends is definitely not an ordinary signal, but a signal that can definitely exceed the speed of light.

Otherwise, when the signal slowly arrives, the development of the Shining Civilization may have been carried out for hundreds or thousands of years.

This shows that the technical content of the satellite is also very terrifying.

This is a device that can be used at the border and outside the country.

The Empire needs to rely on superluminal communication base stations for superluminal communication, but the satellite of the Shining Civilization does not have any similar hanging devices, and relies on the satellite itself to transmit signals.

So its value is definitely not low.

However.

Chen Ming dismantled the satellite and dismantled it into some basic materials.

Now he should have taken those materials to the sky with the Iron Ore.

So...

Chen Ming shook his head and threw the past out of his mind.

It is impossible that the Shining Civilization only left some things on Raymu.

There must be better and more advanced things waiting for him to find in other places.

As for the current situation, Chen Ming believes that there is another possible source of these materials in the warehouse of the Shining Civilization.

It is inseparable from the mining drones he found that are still in operation.

Those mining drones have mined resources for countless years, and there is an absolute reason and time to fill all these warehouses.

The metal resources piled up in these warehouses may be all the exposed mineral resources mined in this galaxy and neighboring galaxies in these years.

And this mining process is still continuing.

Of course, the real situation may be both of Chen Ming's guesses.

And the reason why he has such a speculation.

Because when approaching the interior of these warehouse buildings.

Chen Ming found that some warehouses are still in a relatively good state.

Just like the warehouse that sounded the alarm after Chen Ming opened it is one of the warehouses that are still well preserved.

Some of the warehouse doors in these well-preserved warehouses even look like they are definitely not left over from ancient times.

Not only are there no rust, but there are signs that they have been replaced and maintained recently.

Only those warehouses that have been completely filled with space have rust.

These signs are telling him that the warehouses here are maintained by something, and materials are constantly being filled into these warehouses.

It's just that no one uses these materials after they are full.

So after combining the automated mining robots he saw when he jumped to the next galaxy just now, he thought that these mining robots were maintaining these warehouses.

There is just one question that Chen Ming is not sure about.

That is, those automated mining robots are pure mining robots in terms of structure, without any smelting function.

And he did not find any traces of smelting factories nearby.

How did those ores turn into these smelted metal plates?

He may need to continue investigating nearby.

But these resources are real here.

Chen Ming has just decided that even if there is a weird wormhole in the galaxy, he plans to start colonizing from here and regard this place as the first step in his development and construction of colonies.

He can fully use these resources here.

Anyway, the alarm just now did not seem to attract anything.

Even if he took all the resources away, the Shining Civilization would not crawl out of the grave to trouble him.

Wait.

Chen Ming suddenly realized something else.

If he had found a way to come here after confirming the coordinates, could he have directly used the resources here to start from scratch?

Even at a very early stage, the empire could have grown independently?

Considering the amount of these resources, it seems that such a possibility does exist.

However, if Chen Ming had come here directly at the beginning, his final result might have been depression.

His psychic power should not have been at the current level.

It can only be said that the stronger he is, the more Chen Ming feels that he cannot get away from the concept of human beings.

After a slight sigh, Chen Ming was ready to turn around and control the entire warehouse area in his palm.

Then, based on the warehouse, build the initial base.

However.

Huihuang suddenly reminded Chen Ming that a large-scale jump fluctuation suddenly appeared in space.

And this jump fluctuation stopped quickly.

Chen Ming immediately walked out of the warehouse and raised his head.

He found that a huge light source like a star appeared in the sky.

It seemed to be a searchlight with enough power to be used on a cosmic scale, and it was also like a huge shining eye, staring straight at the warehouse area from space, staring at him outside the warehouse.

Chen Ming immediately felt something was wrong.

This might be something that had just happened because he had opened the alarm of the warehouse that was storing all the special metal materials.

He immediately switched his view to several warships in space.

Then he discovered that it was not a huge light source or a searchlight that had jumped into the orbit of the planet.

It was a giant mechanical body.

It was a giant mechanical body that put together thousands of battleships and even more warships.

It was roughly an irregular sphere, with a large number of tail-shaped structures that were surrounded by gravity, magnetism, or some special means.

It made it look like it was not heavy at all, but unusually flexible.

It looked like a garbage mountain, but the "garbage" it carried was all things that were taken from various warships.

Whether it was armor, weapons, engines, or some other structures, they could all be seen on this giant mechanical body.

It didn't look like a kind thing.

And on the front, the structure that Chen Ming thought was a searchlight that was emitting light was not really a searchlight on the mechanical body.

That was actually a magnificent light from a furnace.

At this moment, Chen Ming understood.

This mechanical body was what he had seen on the track before, the thing that had knocked a track in the wreckage of the spacecraft.

No wonder Chen Ming did not find any traces of foreign things. The wreckage of the spacecraft only had remnants left by other wreckages of spacecraft.

Looking at this giant mechanical body formed by countless mechanical warships, there was certainly no other trace of foreign things in the ruins.

And no wonder Chen Ming had noticed that some of the ships' structures had signs of melting.

He thought it happened during the battle, and was still thinking about what kind of weapons could make some battleships suffer high-temperature attacks.

He even suspected that it was the damage caused by the means used by the mechanical race to transport stellar matter.

The result was actually like this.

There was a huge furnace inside the mechanical body, and the high heat it emitted affected part of the wreckage.

In addition, Chen Ming also noticed that around this giant mechanical body, a large number of mining robots used it as a platform to take off and land, store ore, and transport the smelted metal plates to the planet below.

This mechanical body, which is hundreds or thousands of times larger than the battleship, is the furnace of the automatic mining robot.

And it returned to this galaxy after receiving the alarm.

But for some reason.

It did not launch an attack directly.

Instead, after observing in space for a while, it suddenly sent a signal to Chen Ming's cruiser.

Chen Ming immediately tried several different ways to interpret the signal.

Soon he found that it was a string of characters, written with the words of the shining civilization.

Chen Ming had also learned some of the language and writing of the Shining Civilization in the past six months, so he was able to translate this sentence by himself.

The translated content required Chen Ming to provide an identification code.

Sure enough, this was something left behind by the Shining Civilization.

Of course, Chen Ming did not have the authority, but he did not need such authority.

This giant mechanical body is a mechanical creation, as long as it can be controlled, everything is fine.

The metal liquid appeared in Chen Ming's palm in an instant.

But before he took action, he suddenly hesitated.

This thing... is it considered a battleship...

Although this mechanical body looks very powerful, it seems that it would be a loss to be the first battleship...

But this thing, which is not sure whether it is a robot or a spaceship, will not be very compatible with Chen Ming's own power.

At least it will definitely not be as good as the battleship based on the corpse of the Phase Behemoth Patriarch, and he studied and manufactured it bit by bit.

And whether its actual combat effectiveness will be as high as the battleship that Chen Ming finally manufactured is also a huge question.

Although size is linked to combat effectiveness, they are not equal.

Moreover, the main body of this thing should be just some kind of mechanical device, just mounted with the wreckage parts of many spaceships and even battleships. Although it looks very imposing, the actual combat power...

However, Chen Ming thought carefully, this mechanical body should not be considered a battleship. After all, the parts of the battleships on it are all mounted, so it should not be counted, right?

It's okay.

Chen Ming felt that he just needed to carefully sense it when he was following the control process, and stop the control process if there was a problem.

It wouldn't really let him control the first battleship.

However, despite this, Chen Ming still did not choose to directly control this giant mechanical body.

This is not only because he considered the problem he just thought about, but there is another reason.

He suddenly thought of something.

In the database of the remains where he obtained the resurrection mechanical fluid.

Chen Ming remembered that after he controlled the entire laboratory, he found a special identification code that could be recognized by all defense facilities and all research facilities in the laboratory.

Although Chen Ming didn't know the meaning of this identification code, it might be effective if used in this place?

So Chen Ming made preparations for both hands at this time.

He sent the identification code and prepared the metal liquid to be sent to the giant mechanical body at any time.

He was ready to take action if there was any problem.

The giant mechanical body was quiet for a while, and suddenly replied to Chen Ming with a message.

The translated content was: Authorization authentication has been passed.

Really?

Chen Ming was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was a laboratory that studied important things like resurrection mechanical fluid, and it was normal for this identification code to have the authority to control the mechanical body in front of him.

Then, the giant mechanical body completely handed over its authority to Chen Ming.

And Chen Ming also learned its name from here.
