Global Era of Star trekking

Song Chi's joy in his heart was still intensifying. From that first cursory glance, he had estimated that the area inside this mineral storage room exceeded 20,000 square meters. However, as he approached further, he realized he had been conservative.

"Looking at it this way, the area of this mineral storage room is probably over 40,000 square meters, tsk tsk tsk..."

Along with the clicking of his tongue, there was even more delight.

The greater the area, the more storage cabinets there are likely to be in the room, which in turn means more mineral resources.

He didn't rush to collect these minerals, instead allowing the four soldier figurines to head towards the deepest part of the mineral storage room.

The resources in this room were abundant, so much so that it was hard to describe, because each storage cabinet utilized special space-folding technology. The minerals stacked inside were far more than what was visible from the outside.

But precisely because of this, he might have to selectively abandon some of them.

The four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines were equipped with storage capsules, which had much less internal space than the storage bags from the Primordial Continent. The current best ones were no more than four cubic meters in size, hardly sufficient for too much content at once.

Although he could have the four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines take more storage capsules or make multiple trips, it was clear that transferring all the minerals out would be impossible within one or two days, or even three or four.

And this was the issue—time was what Song Chi was short of.

He had already mentioned that the stars underfoot were not going to last much longer. He had set a five-year exploration timeline for himself, and now, with half a year already past, he didn't have much time left to continue exploring this super-giant ancient flagship. There wasn't much time to waste on these common mineral resources.

The deeper he went, the rarer the mineral resources became. When the four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines reached the area closest to the innermost side,

minerals like Mercury Crystal, gas mines, and Obsidian all appeared. Among them were also many minerals that Song Chi did not recognize.

Without hesitation, the four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines took out several storage capsules with internal spaces of four cubic meters each and swiftly loaded the resources from the cabinets, regardless of whether they were recognized or not.

His thinking was quite straightforward—if these resources were placed alongside Mercury Crystals and gas mines, their value certainly wouldn't be low. In the future, he could gauge whether his family was interested in purchasing them, or if not, he could always sell them in the Ruins Market.

In addition to these, Song Chi naturally did not overlook the front row of Phantom Crystals. Strictly speaking, the value of these items was even higher than that of the Mercury Crystals. They could eventually be integrated into the Cang Qiong's warship armor to enhance the "Space Lock" feature's effect.

Soon, the more than ten storage capsules he had brought were all filled up, yet the resources in these cabinets had only reduced by a very small fraction. More trips would likely be needed to transfer the remaining resources.

The four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines could only take the filled capsules back to the breach in the ship's hull. Outside, a Second-Rank Humanoid Alien Race, summoned by Song Chi, was already waiting.

After taking these storage capsules, this Second-Rank Humanoid Alien Race used the "Ruins Market Walking Command" to enter the Ruins Market and delivered all the filled capsules there.

Soon, with the help of Song Chi, the Ruins Market Master, it returned to outer space with more storage capsules, delivering the empty ones to the hands of the four Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines.

Thus, a new round of routine cycling began.

Nearly two days later, after swapping out one round of brainwave beacons and adding four more Void Assassin Clan soldier figurines, for a total of eight, they were still continuously transporting resources.

At this time, standing at the very back of the mineral storage room, and simultaneously as the host for Song Chi's brainwaves, one of the soldier figurines noticed a cabinet that was somewhat different from the others.

Compared with other cabinets, the resources stored in this one were pitifully scarce with just two desiccated chunks, but Song Chi showed no contempt; instead, he was extremely curious.

Given that it had been placed at the very back of the room, and according to the pattern he had recognized over the past two days — the farther in, the rarer the resources — this item couldn't possibly be simplistic.

He carefully operated the Void Assassin Clan soldier figurine to open the cabinet, revealing two greenish copper chunks, each weighing less than 50kg, to Song Chi.

Looking at the substances on their surfaces that resembled copper rust, his brows furrowed; he had no recollection of such a thing and was unaware of what kind of resource it was.

Having no choice, he could only describe these two unknown chunks in detail to the semi-autonomous intelligence for information.

Since he didn't recognize them, he had to rely on the ship's intelligence, which contained many copies of the family's data, to conduct a detailed analysis.

If even the ship's intelligence couldn't figure them out, he would have to consult his grandfather, father, or someone from the family.

Following his description, the ship's semi-autonomous intelligence quickly started analyzing.

[According to the description, there is a 90% chance that this material is the super-strategic level resource "Mixed Elemental Copper"...]

Upon hearing the words "super-strategic level resource," Song Chi was initially stunned, taking a moment to process the words before a surge of elation welled up in his heart.

Titanium Crystal was one of the strategic resources, making the super-strategic level resources relatively self-explanatory.

It was very likely to be something even rarer than strategic resources.

With just that point alone, one could imagine how precious these two chunks named "Mixed Elemental Copper" were.
