Global Era of Star trekking

After giving some detailed instructions to the Third Rank Soul Spirit Clan member, Song Chi thought for a long time and decided to keep Zhao Lei as well, and transferred the "Ruins Market Walking Rank" to him.

With ten Furious Tiger Mining Carts and two standard civilian interstellar mining ships available, and the detailed resource distribution map of surrounding veins given by the "Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar," it could be foreseen that the mining efficiency hereafter would be terrifyingly high.

Thus, the challenge became how to deliver these resources to Song Chi’s own hands.

Wait a month to come and collect them in person? That wasn’t impossible, but a month was a considerable length of time, and it was unpredictable whether any emergency would occur in the meantime.

Therefore, Song Chi still believed that it was safest to have the mined resources delivered to him in real time.

And so, Zhao Lei was the natural choice for this task. With his high-level Storage Bag, he could transport large quantities of minerals to the Ruins Market at any time. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As for the Soul Spirit Clan, although they were Third Rank and their speciality was Divine Soul Power, their physical strength was one of the weakest among their rank, only able to carry a few tons of materials at a time. To have them transport tens of thousands of tons of mined resources back and forth would be an unbearable ordeal. Enjoy new chapters from empire

During this time, Zhao Lei had also used the Foundation Establishment Pill and successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment with the help of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room. Now that he was Second Rank, he had the basic ability to survive in the vastness of space and wasn’t going to bite the dust from one misstep.

After making these final arrangements, the Cang Qiong finally began its return journey.

...

Soul Spirit Floating Land, Western Sky Dome.

After violent spatial fluctuations, a 120-meter-long escort ship appeared high in the sky.

Scanning the surroundings and finding no abnormalities, Cang Qiong sped towards the Southern Region.

A day had passed; Song You’s mining operation should have completed only one-third, and it would take two more days to finish mining the intermediate rank Soul Stone vein.

During these two days, he could survey the Southern Region to see if he could find one or two more veins.

In this way, he could then comfortably initiate the next Ruins Market trade without worrying about wasting time.

Even if he could find more than two veins, he could have Song You and his own flagship each guard one vein, opening the Ruins Market trade while both veins were being mined simultaneously, maximizing the use of time.

Time passed, and although the Ruins Market could have been opened after a day, Song Chi was not in a hurry as he had just found a suitable vein for mining in the Southern Region.

The next day, after Song You successfully finished mining the small vein in the Western Region, Song Chi made a trip and moved it from the Western to the Southern Region.

In two days, after initially scanning one-third of the Southern Region, he successfully discovered two Soul Stone veins of intermediate rank or higher, one small and one medium-sized.

The medium-sized intermediate rank Soul Stone vein was located at the mountains of the Southern Region where they were now.

"Song You, the vein below us is mid-sized, with an estimated reserve of about 140,000 intermediate rank Soul Stones. I’ll leave six Furious Tiger Mining Carts for you. Continue the operations as before, and of course, when you’re done, you can take 14,000 stones. How does that sound?"

Song You nodded his agreement repeatedly; there was naturally no reason for him to refuse.

In just the past three days, he had obtained 3,200 intermediate rank Soul Stones, which translated to 9,600 Merit Points. Now, the 14,000 stones were worth a substantial 42,000 Family Merit Points. Such an easy money-making opportunity was something he wholeheartedly approved of with both hands and feet.

After giving instructions to Song You, Cang Qiong set off again, heading millions of miles away to another intermediate rank Soul Stone vein.

The small vein was estimated to have around 40,000 intermediate rank Soul Stones. Taking into account the remaining four Furious Tiger Mining Carts, it should take a little over two days to mine.

Song Chi was slightly frustrated, regretting not buying more Furious Tiger Mining Carts when he first left the family.

Twenty mining carts had seemed more than enough, but with half of them sent away to the asteroid belt, the number was noticeably insufficient.

Otherwise, the mining efficiency could have been improved slightly.

Upon reaching the location of the second Soul Stone vein, Song Chi released the last four Furious Tiger Mining Carts, and under the influence of the "Sonic Silence Field" component, the mining operation began.

In the Cangqiong Main Control Room, after giving a set of instructions to the remaining Third Rank Soul Spirit Clan member about maintaining the "Sonic Silence Field," he instructed them to halt the mining carts once the field’s duration ended.

Then, with a thought, Song Chi reached out with his mind towards another Soul Spirit Clan member light-years unknown away.

"How are things on your side? How is the mining going?"

After sending the message, it took about two minutes for a fragmented thought response to echo in his mind.

"Master, currently... everything... normal, have... mined... some... resources, ready...

for Zhao Lei... to transfer... to master... via... Travel Command at any time."

Song Chi wasn’t surprised by this intermittent response; he had tested it before from the star domain where the Yellow Sand Floating Continent was located and got a similar result.

Clearly, while the Red Epic Component was powerful, it still seemed strained against the vastness of the Shattered Starry Sea, with high latency and broken thought transmission.
