Global Era of Star trekking

Soon, the semi-automatic intelligence provided an answer.

"Translation complete, interpretation 'Basic Mineral Storage Room 1'."

Upon receiving this answer, a glint appeared in Song Chi's eyes.

"Mineral Storage Room, could there be Titanium Crystals, Law Stones, Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence there?"

Thinking thus, he controlled the two Soldier Figurines to stride forward again; their puppet arms reached out, pushing toward the alloy doors of the chamber ahead.

Unlike the open doors of the incubation chamber from before, the alloy doors of Basic Mineral Storage Room 1 were tightly closed, and it was uncertain whether they could be opened.

However, to tell the truth, Song Chi did not harbor much hope; he had already tried once before in that first corridor, and, well... there was not the slightest movement from the alloy doors from beginning to end.

"Click, click, click!"

Surprises often come at the most unexpected moments, and this saying seemed particularly fitting at the time.

Not expecting much, Song Chi soon found that the alloy doors before him were actually being slowly pushed open with the force exerted by his two Soldier Figurines.

Seconds later, the two Soldier Figurines successfully fully opened the doors to Mineral Storage Room 1, revealing its interior completely to Song Chi.

Inside the Cang Qiong, Song Chi's eyes flickered unpredictably.

The interior of this Basic Mineral Storage Room 1 was far larger than it appeared from the outside, more than ten times larger; originally, he thought it was at most a few thousand square meters, but at a cursory glance, it seemed that even twenty thousand square meters would not suffice.

In this chamber of over twenty thousand square meters, numerous specially made storage cabinets for various minerals were neatly arranged. With just a glance at the first row on the perimeter, Song Chi spotted Copper Ore, Phantom Crystals, and Sunflame Ore, among others.

The two Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines stepped forward again, and just as they entered the chamber, the doors behind them suddenly closed, followed by a beam of red light shooting out from the side.

Glancing sideways, Song Chi's heart tightened.

The emitter of the red light was none other than an Alloy Mech, several tens of meters tall. Its size was inconspicuous, but the energy fluctuations emanating from its body were undeniably Fourth Rank.

[Visitor, please state your identity...]

The emotionless mechanical voice came from the mouth of the Alloy Mech.

Hearing this, Song Chi instantly realized that this Alloy Mech was likely the guardian of the Mineral Storage Room, and that all creatures entering it needed to undergo identity verification, or else they would definitely face...

Before he could think further, the second mechanical voice echoed.

[Visitor, please state your identity...]

Although it was the same inquiry, Song Chi distinctly felt that the red light flickering in the eyes of the Alloy Mech had intensified.

[Visitor, please state your identity...]

Seeing that the Alloy Mech was already lifting its alloy arm, in desperation, Song Chi replied in the obscure language of the Three-Eyed Civilization:

"How dare you, we were sent here by Lord Chicang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanical voice came again.

[Identity verification failed, identified as intruder, initiate Response Plan 2, execute on the spot!]

Song Chi was suddenly startled, his two Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines rapidly retreated under his control, attempting to reopen the already-closed alloy doors.

However, a piercing sound was already coming from behind.

Whoosh!

The sword light swept through, and under the sweep of the giant alloy war sword in the hands of the alloy mech, two Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines were sliced into two halves as effortlessly as blocks of tofu.

As the bodies of the two soldier figurines completely disintegrated, the light in the eyes of the alloy mech dimmed, and it returned to the side guard docking area.

Once the mech was properly secured, the red light in its eyes suddenly dimmed, apparently cutting off the energy supply and entering standby mode.

Song Chi watched this entire scene unfold before him.

It's not that the opponent is a creature without spiritual intelligence but one that acts entirely based on commands. Although it had killed two Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines, it had not erased the brainwave imprints that were attached to the bodies of the soldier figurines.

In other words, Song Chi could still observe the various situations inside the cabin through this imprint, although he could no longer control the soldier figurines to move at will.

Within Cang Qiong, Song Chi, who had withdrawn most of his spiritual attention, was wrapped up in deep thought, muttering softly to himself.

"From what I've seen before, one thing is certain, the remaining energy inside this alloy mech is not much. Even if it remains in standby for a long time to stop energy consumption, a hundred thousand years is a long time, and this can't be resolved by standby alone."

At that point, he paused, having already thought of a way to deal with the situation.

Within the ancient flagship, the combat power of the Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines was greatly restricted, and it was impossible to confront a Fourth Rank level alloy mech head-on; their combat powers were not on the same level at all.

Therefore, a little trickery was needed.

For example, wearing it down bit by bit.

Although the combat power of the Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines inside the super colossal ancient flagship was pitifully weak, their advantage lay in their ability to resurrect indefinitely, be summoned indefinitely, and be deployed indefinitely.

In doing so, one only needed to keep entering the mineral storage room, causing the alloy mech to activate over and over again. As a result, its energy core, which was already low, would be consumed faster. And once its energy supply was completely exhausted, all the mineral resources in the basic mineral storage room 1 would naturally belong to Song Chi.

Having determined this plan, Song Chi didn't think further. He actively disconnected the still lingering brainwave, allowing the Brainwave Remote Control System component to enter a buffering state.

Hours later, a second batch of four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines was deployed, and they stepped into the mineral storage room once more. Then, the alloy mech guard was activated once again, eventually killing the infiltrating Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines.

After four continuous times, Cang Qiong entered a waiting period once again. Several hours later, a third batch of four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines was deployed, repeating the cycle over and over.

In this substantial yet seemingly tedious routine, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

It was still mineral storage room 1, but this time, as the new batch of four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines entered, the alloy mech guard in the corner remained motionless.

Over the past month, the constant daily incursions by the soldier figurines had caused it to reactivate over and over. After a whole month, the energy within the alloy mech guard had been completely depleted, and it could no longer activate on its own.

Walking slowly up to the alloy mech guard, which had not a trace of energy left, Song Chi stared intently at it through the eyes of the Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines.

"What a pity, this thing has genuine Fourth-Rank combat power. If I could get my hands on it, whether I handed it over to my family or sold it to Goblin Luke, it's very likely that I could trade it for an Orange Quality component..."

Song Chi sighed. The thing was too large, standing dozens of meters tall. Although that was nothing compared to the three-thousand-meter stature of a standard Fourth Rank unit, for the Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines, this was something they could never bring back to Cang Qiong no matter what.

As for the Proportional Scaling Instrument component, it wasn't omnipotent. It couldn't function from tens of thousands of kilometers away; it had to be used up close in order to work.

But the idea of Song Chi personally visiting the interior of this flagship... well, it wasn't feasible. First, his Second Rank life level simply didn't allow it.

Shaking his head, he stopped pondering and the four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines turned and walked towards the interior side of the cabin.

Of course, before examining the counters where the mineral resources were stored, Song Chi first had the four soldier figurines go to the spot where the first two soldier figurines had died upon entering the mineral storage room. There, two Storage Capsules were scattered about.

Those were the storage capsules carried by the initial two soldier figurines, intended for loading and unloading the harvest, which were now being collected in advance.

After securing the two storage capsules, the four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines then turned towards the mineral counters on the interior side.
