Tacit Understanding

However, the miners, who had been mentally prepared after the previous "Edelweiss," understood Wang Dong's words at a faster speed.

Even Lao Shi, who had just snatched the spaceship chosen by Wang Dong, didn't cause any trouble.

No one knows the face of the Tianhu caravan.

I was forced to come here, so no one had any precautions.

Now Wang Dong has clearly pointed out that Chen Wei's so-called "disposable small energy shield" has fatal problems, and it is related to radiation.

Believe it or not, at least everyone has an idea in their mind.

The Tianhu Caravan obviously did not find any clues about the secret exchanges between the interstellar miners.

The Tianhu Caravan lacks any respect for these selected elites among the miners.

They are all disposable items and must be disposed of afterwards.

Not to mention the so-called "miner culture".

Lean slightly, wait until the window period arrives, and enter the mining area.

Something interesting happened.

According to the pre-arrangement, none of the three navigators on the first flight activated the "disposable small energy shield.".

The reason is quite reasonable.

"In this peripheral area, normal mining operations are no problem. Simply by piloting, there is no need to waste precious energy shields. It is smart to save it for use when it is dangerous."

The miners' "little cleverness" made Chen Wei laugh and didn't mind anymore.

As for Chen Hu, he won't pay attention to this at all.

It was Chen Wei's idea to select these miners to lead the voyage.

He believed that the depths of the mining area were too unfamiliar to them.

With these miners who hang out in the mining area all day leading the way, at least some unnecessary trouble can be avoided.

In fact, in Chen Hu's view, the so-called piloting is actually unnecessary.

Relying on the armor of the assault ship and the professional exploration ship, it is not easy to come and go from just an asteroid belt mining area.

If they hadn't been concerned about the Kongsha Chamber of Commerce, they would have started in-depth exploration of the mining area.

Before they get the contract rights to the mining area, whatever they find in the mining area will be subject to the sovereignty declaration of the Kongsha Chamber of Commerce.

They are not afraid of lawsuits. What they are afraid of is that the news will spread and attract other hungry wolves.

As time went on, the mixed fleet moved deeper and deeper into the mining area.

"These miners are really smart. With them leading the way, the route chosen is indeed easier."

Chen Hu said it with some surprise.

"Indeed, the frequency of meteorite impacts is far less than expected."

Chen Wei agreed with a smile.

This shows that his decision is correct.

At this time, the communication channel was no longer silent.

Since entering the mining area, the miners have been chatting in the channel.

The astronomical conditions in the mining area are complex and seriously interfere with communications, but communications within short distances are okay.

On weekdays, miners basically look for their own places to mine individually and do not get together. There are very few people traveling together like today.

Because when mining, they are too close to each other, which will interfere with each other and is not conducive to maintaining harmony.

If rare minerals are discovered at the same time, to whom do they belong?

Therefore, on the one hand, it is a rare opportunity to chat in the mining area, which is interesting.

On the one hand, it is also to maintain smooth communication in order to cope with their difficulties.

Those selected by the Tianhu caravan are all the elites among the miners.

Even deep into the middle of the mining area, no one appeared to be struggling.

The three men from the second shift took the initiative not long ago to replace the navigator from the first shift.

Just piloting is naturally a level simpler than mining.

The "sub-decay gravitational field shield," nicknamed the "disposable small energy shield," was also not turned on.

After entering the middle section of the mining area, it is obvious that the astronomical environment is more complex.

The number, density, and size of meteorites and other stars have increased significantly.

The miners' mining spaceships are okay. They are small in size and highly maneuverable, allowing them to travel through them.

The bulky assault ship is different from the exploration ship. It is inevitable that the number of collisions with meteorites and other celestial bodies will increase a lot along the way.

The Constantine III exploration ship is okay; it is a professional ship after all.

The alloy armor with added liquid silver exhibits excellent performance against pure kinetic energy impacts, such as meteorites.

Most meteorite impacts will leave no trace on the armor, and the ship's hull will not even shake in the slightest.

The characteristic of liquid silver, a precious mineral, is that it absorbs kinetic energy.

Armor made of pure liquid silver can even almost completely ignore kinetic energy impacts.

Of course, armor made of pure liquid silver performs unsatisfactorily when faced with attacks from other attributes, such as beams, plasma, particles, and other attributes.

But Chen Hu's assault ship will not work.

Although it is equipped with military armor and has some defensive performance, when faced with the impact of a large meteorite, the impact is quite obvious.

Not only will the armor at the impact point be damaged, but every impact will cause the hull to vibrate significantly.

Chen Hu frowned slightly.

The environment in the mining area seemed to be harsher than he imagined.

It is conceivable that without the guidance of the miners, their voyage would have been more difficult.

Thinking of this, Chen Hu couldn't help but appreciate Chen Wei even more.

This rising star of the family was indeed a good choice to be sent to study abroad.

No big investment was wasted.

Compared to that playboy, Chen Xiu, perhaps it would be more appropriate for the next generation of the Tianhu Caravan to be led by Chen Wei.

It's a pity that Chen Long, the eldest brother, is both capable and ruthless. He is good at everything. He just dotes on Chen Xiu, the only son, a little too much.

The first three mining spacecraft led the way; the middle exploration ship and the assault ship followed the pilots; and finally, there were nine mining spacecraft with two large ships as a barrier.

The mixed fleet continues deep into the mining area.

According to the several exploration points given by Tianhu Caravan, the nearest ones are close to the edge of the mining area.

At this time, the three miners who had already switched to the third shift were leading the way.

The old miner was among them.

In the communication channel, the old miner was talking about ancient times and some rare experiences he had encountered in the mines for many years.

At this time, as they traveled along the way, the astronomical environment became more and more complex.

Wang Dong knew well that if it continued, some miners might be forced to activate the "sub-decay gravitational field shield."

Moreover, after going deep into the mining area to a certain extent, some natural traps begin to appear frequently.

He found an opportunity and asked, pretending to be confused, "Uncle, I always hear people say that there is a rare beauty in the mining area called Wowo. Everyone who has seen it says it will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Uncle, have you ever encountered one?"

The old miner paused for a moment, as if he were recalling something, and then smiled: "Ten years ago, a few companions and I wanted to see if we could find some goods deep in the mining area. The result was not what I expected, so I dove into it. Oh my god, it's so enjoyable and so beautiful! I really want to see such beautiful scenery again."

In the mining area of the asteroid belt, there is often gravitational turbulence.

Some hidden gravitational turbulence is in relative balance within itself and is not visible on ordinary days.

But when disturbances caused by external factors reach a certain level, they will suddenly break out.

This hidden and powerful turbulence is regarded as the biggest trap for interstellar miners.

The so-called "wowo" refers to this kind of trap.

Whether it was Wang Dong's question or the old miner's answer, it was obviously abnormal.

Since encountering "Wowo" means your life is hanging by a thread, where can the "enjoyment," "beautifulness," and "watch it again" come from?

Everyone chatted for a few more words.

Then, the three leading mining spacecraft, led by the old miners, slightly adjusted their course.

This is normal. When the astronomical environment ahead is too complex, it is wise to choose a detour.

A few hours later, in the communication channel, the old miner suddenly laughed and said, "The previous area looks a bit like a Wowo to me. You guys can wait and see if it is true." As soon as these words came out, all the miners were shocked.

Oh my god, old-timers are old-timers.

Wang Dong just said a reminder before, but the old miner didn't spend much time finding a suitable target and even led them there specially.
