The imperial capital, the Temple of Silent Star.

In the dimensional space, the great saint who was explaining matters to Xi Chen Qinglan suddenly stopped.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you..." The female war god looked at her in surprise.

The great saint stood up slowly and took out a purple crystal ball the size of a human head from a purple gold incense burner not far away. The vigorous energy was injected and it was quickly activated.

After a moment, a deep, distant and strange starry sky appeared inside the crystal ball, majestic and magnificent nebula everywhere! At the edge of a bright plate-shaped galaxy, a little thin and invisible golden light flashed in it, and disappeared in a flash!

"It actually... arrived so soon!" The Great Saint's voice was filled with unconcealed surprise.

"It's less than three months yet! It's so strange, what exactly did he do?"

Xi Chenqinglan looked happy and asked quickly: "Teacher! Are you saying he has arrived safely? Can you contact him?"

"Contact?" The Great Saint's voice was a bit strange.

"This is a distance of tens of millions of light years. How do you ask the teacher to contact me? This artifact can sense his direction, but it is because his genes and energy breath were stored in advance! But that's the case. It's impossible to communicate further!"

Xi Chen Qinglan was a little disappointed, but when he remembered that he was safe and sound, he finally let go of his heart that had been hanging for several months!

She knew the danger of this ancient star road very well. Since Xiao Junling could arrive safely, things will naturally be much easier to do in the future!

"I don't know when he will come back! It shouldn't be too long!" she thought silently.

The Great Saint's voice has returned to its usual elegance and calmness:

"Don't worry! Your little man is fine! But you, your cultivation seems to be very good! It's only been more than a year since the last promotion, and there are signs of a breakthrough again! Have you used that thing?"

Xi Chenqinglan shook her head and said, "Of course not! I can't do such a thing!"

The great sage said with some regret: "This little guy's luck is so strong that I only see him in my life! When you were able to make an exception for him, I thought you had already learned it, but I didn't expect you to still..."

"It's just overdrawing, as long as you control it well, it won't have much negative impact on him, and you can improve your cultivation faster, not to mention that with his foundation, it's easy to recover! Why do you have to continue to persist?"

Xi Chen Qinglan just shook her head, obviously she would never make concessions on this issue.

The Great Saint finally just sighed and said nothing.

…………

The star system where the Hidden Dragon is located has more than 20 planets from the inside to the outside. Two-thirds of them have solid rock surfaces. The rest are gaseous or liquid planets, but they contain rich minerals of various forms!

For example, a liquid mineral called "lithium sulfide" is one of the indispensable raw materials used to make the energy core of mechanical war puppets! Usually, it is only found in the depths of liquid planets under ultra-high atmospheric pressure environments!

Although there are many members of this star system, the only real ecological planet is Hidden Dragon Star. On other resource planets, various mining sites of different sizes can be seen everywhere. There are also many large smelting and processing bases.

The first solid rock planet located inside the orbit of Hidden Dragon also has a thin atmosphere, with its main components such as nitrogen, methane, helium, etc.

Because it is close to the stars, the temperature of the planet during the day is as high as hundreds of degrees Celsius, but it drops sharply at night, almost reaching nearly 100 degrees Celsius before dawn! In such an extreme environment, there are still many low-alives of iron-gray mosses! Moreover, various mineral resources are surprisingly rich!

Countless cargo spacecraft rise and fall on the surface, like groups of hard-working worker bees!

Mines of all sizes are all over the planet's surface! Huge automated mining equipment drills through rock layers, digs out valuable ore, and then sends them to a smelting base not far away for preliminary processing and refining! The finished product is then transported to a high-level smelting center on the synchronous orbit by freight spacecraft for deep processing and purification!

It has to be admitted that the Tikkeloer people are quite good in the fields related to mineral deposits! All mines basically use automated operations, and the equipment used is also quite advanced. The purity of the finished products is no less than that of the smelting centers in the war fortress!

On the ground, mining machines of all shapes can be seen everywhere, huge mine pits, transportation roads as dense as spider webs, and amazingly large crawler trucks are loaded with the newly dug of ore toward the smelting base!

In this mining area with a radius of thousands of square kilometers, the high-quality ore dug out every hour is calculated in at least tens of thousands of tons!

The smelting base is located at the edge of the mine pit, hundreds of meters high. It is like a hill. Tall chimneys stand tall, spewing black smoke columns! According to the design standards, the amount of ore that the base can handle every day and night is 500,000 tons!

Next to the smelting base is the energy center hidden underground, and there is also a fully enclosed circular ecological zone, as well as a fully automatic air defense system deployed around the mining area. It was prepared to deal with meteorites falling from outer space!

Among them, the priority mining is naturally the energy crystal, the Sasa Yun Crystal ore, and several other high-value ores! After preliminary refining, these rare resources will be directly sent to the smelting center in the war fortress for refining and processing!

Of course, not all minerals can be mined and refined at this stage! For example, the amazingly valuable Dark Luoyan Gold Concentrate that Xiao Junling discovered last time, even the entire Chinese Empire only has three top-level equipment that can refine and process this rare mineral! One is in the imperial court, one is in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and the other is in the headquarters of the Silent Star Temple in the Imperial Capital.

This thing is like uranium 235 in the Earth's era. Its refining and processing technology and related equipment have always been the core secrets of major countries and cannot be sold at will!

According to Meixin's estimate, the annual production of this ore vein can increase its defense by at least about 20% as long as it is mixed with a small amount of purple diamond-level supernatural light armor! If a light armor or lightsaber completely uses this crystalline metal, then some other rare materials can make the final product reach the level of artifacts! Of course, this requires a top god-level creator to complete, and ordinary craftsmen cannot take over!

Therefore, he can only collect and seal this precious raw ore and wait until his strength is strong in the future before he finds a way. As for now, all information about the Dark Luoyan Golden Essence needs to be strictly kept confidential! If there is really any news leaking out, many major forces will probably be unable to resist taking risks!

"There are limited equipment on the war fortress, so there will not be too many ore that can be processed and refined!"

In the speeding car, Xiao Junling patrolled his new territory and said to the two women around him:

"With the current output, it cannot fully meet our requirements for future layout, so we have to find a way to expand the scale!"

Yu Xiner sat on his right, with a beautiful girl in white dress on the left, and Su Yaming driving the speed in front.

At this time, there was no one else, and Su Yaxuan dared to take off her black cloak and showed her beautiful and charming face.

His current strength is not yet facing the Shuoyue Consortium, so the two brothers who secretly defected to him have their current identities kept secret! Since he set out on the fortress of war, he has wrapped himself tightly in front of outsiders. Only in front of him and several core followers can he show his true face.

Su Yaxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, we can produce these processing and smelting equipment. The material reserve center on the war fortress has many core control chips. As long as the resources here are used to create the body, it can be put into effect after assembly!"

For example, these high-precision instruments and equipment, as well as warships, the most difficult thing to produce is control chips, central optical brains, and a small number of core components. The remaining body parts are not as technical as expected! Therefore, before departure, Xiao Junling specially purchased and reserved a large number of them to cope with the current situation.

This advantage is that it can speed up development and expand its strength. As long as you pass the fragile period of the initial stage, your future development will naturally be much smoother!

"That's it!" Xiao Junling said,

"The current output of various resources must be doubled at least, and factories that can be built must be established as soon as possible! We don't have much time, we must race against time!"

Su Yaxuan thought for a while and plucked up the courage and said, "Master, I still feel that we cannot put all our foundations here now! Because we cannot be sure of how strong the Kedrores will be in the next counterattack, and the results of the negotiations with the group of Nogas Blues!"

"So, we should set up the base where they can't find, or at least easily reach! For example, the star system we first examined!"

She had seen with her own eyes that the wormhole leading to that star system could be hidden by the Lord with unknown means. Although the reason was unknown, the technology of the Kedrores people was obviously unable to be cracked, which means that the star system could be used as the most confidential rear base on its side.

Xiao Junling pondered for a moment and said, "Your opinion is right! It's just that there is no ecological planet there, so it's a bit inconvenient in the early stage. Of course, safety is indeed the priority now, and the cost factor is not that important!"

"Okay! Let the War Fortress go there and build a base group! It is best to move the recruit training camp and the warship production line there. Our future fleet cannot allow those old and young men to penetrate!"

At this time, the light brain on Yu Xiner's wrist vibrated slightly. She looked at it and said, "That Snotty is here again, saying that she will pick you up to attend the emperor's banquet!"

"Have they finally reached a conclusion?" Xiao Junling smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go over here! Let's see what they say!" (To be continued.)
