Chapter 11 Dimensional Collection
Buzz!
Rings of seemingly tangible spatial energy emanated from his palms, quickly converging in front of him to form a twisted, pitch-black spatial vortex.
The vortex passage was only a few meters in diameter, but under Chen Yao's deliberate control, it was now emitting a terrifying suction force from its depths.
Oh oh oh!
Under this powerful suction, countless scattered celestial fragments within a radius of several hundred meters to the side of the Sky Surveyer were slowly drawn in and began to converge toward the entrance of the spatial vortex passage.
Seeing this, Chen Yao ignored it and continued to guide the attraction force within the passage with all his might, trying to direct it onto the nearby asteroid with a diameter of 100 meters.
As for the other small fragments and debris, their impact is negligible.
He had carefully examined the dimensional secret realm space that evolved inside the "Secret Realm Card." Although the size of the inner space was not comparable to that of a planet, it was still a complete and independent small world with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers. There was no need to worry about insufficient space.
With continued efforts, the asteroid, which was 100 meters in diameter, soon showed signs of movement and slowly approached the Sky Surveyer.
The key point is that, under the influence of spatial forces, its size gradually shrinks the closer it gets to the vortex passage of the secret realm.
Finally, under Chen Yao's expectant gaze, the asteroid, with a diameter of 100 meters, was indeed completely taken into the dimensional secret realm.
"Continue, next try a larger asteroid."
With barely concealed joy, Chen Yao selected another asteroid with a diameter of 500 meters, and the Sky Surveyor sped toward it.
According to the shipborne semi-intelligent records, there is a first-class miniature meteorite iron ore vein on the surface of this asteroid. The reserves currently detected are worth nearly eighty low-grade planetary origin crystals. If the mineral vein extends further inside the asteroid, its value will be even higher. It is a mineral resource point that must be mined.
"If we could collect it directly, it would save at least half an hour. I hope so!"
In the blink of an eye, the Sky Patrol's hatch opened again, and Chen Yao stood at the hatch, skillfully repeating the same actions as before.
This time it was significantly more difficult than before. It took a full two minutes for the 500-meter-diameter asteroid on the side to be moved, and it took nearly ten minutes to finally send it completely into the dimensional secret realm.
buzzing.
With its engines roaring, the Sky Surveyor continued its journey toward the selected third asteroid, which was one kilometer in diameter.
In the warship's main control room, Chen Yao frowned.
As the psionic energy within his body circulated, he noticed that about one-tenth of his psionic energy had been consumed, and his spirit seemed to be less vigorous than before.
Clearly, manipulating the dimensional realm to collect asteroids is costly for him, and this cost increases as the target asteroid grows larger.
He wasn't too surprised by this.
He took out the two remaining low-grade planetary origin crystals from the warship and used a guiding technique to accelerate the absorption of their pure energy to replenish the psionic energy consumed in his body.
What troubled him was the mental strain.
He had not prepared any spirit-restoring potions suitable for Captain Torch, so the best way to replenish his spirit power right now was to sleep, but what he lacked most was time.
"Never mind, I'll just have to get through this remaining day. Based on what I've gained this time, I'll definitely prepare more of these kinds of potions before my next expedition..."
Thinking this, the Sky Patrol had already arrived at its destination.
laugh--
The hatch opened.
Nearly half an hour later, Chen Yao, whose face was slightly pale, closed the cabin door.
The third test was also successful, but it was obvious that this asteroid, which was one kilometer in diameter, was basically the limit he could actively collect at present; it would be difficult to collect anything larger.
Of course, this is by no means the limit of the "Secret Realm Card", but the limit of Chen Yao's current Guiding Technique, which is only level 8. In the future, when he breaks through to the next level, the quality and quantity of the psionic energy in his body will be greatly improved, and the volume of objects he can collect will likely also increase.
Back in the control room, Chen Yao closed his eyes to rest, trying to relax his visibly tired mind, before issuing a command to the ship's semi-automatic system:
"Mark all the first-tier and above mineral resource points that have been recorded before, and then provide me with an optimal navigation route that includes all of the above coordinates."
"Wait, remove all first-order asteroids with a diameter exceeding one kilometer from all first-order resource points."
[Captain's orders have been received...]
[Marking coordinates of all Tier 1 mineral resource points...]
[Currently removing asteroid coordinates with a diameter exceeding one kilometer from Tier 1 resource points...]
[Calculating the optimal flight route...]
[Optimal navigation route calculation complete!]
He opened his eyes and scanned the star map that had popped up again. There were more than twenty points of light on it, connected by a wavy line.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Yao spoke again.
"Based on the time it took to collect asteroids of various sizes previously, plus the time required for mining second-tier minerals that can only be done manually, help me estimate as accurately as possible how long it will take to complete the collection and mining of all the resources in this round."
[Captain's orders have been received...]
[Estimating...]
The preliminary estimated time required is 15 hours and 28 minutes...
"Less than sixteen hours..."
"When you're surveying the sky, use this route as your navigation. Remember to wake me up once you reach the coordinates of the first asteroid."
[Received, Captain. Light sleep mode is now activated for you. I will now guide you to the location of the first target asteroid.]
……
Twelve minutes later, Chen Yao woke up from a light sleep. The Sky Surveyer had successfully reached the location of the first target asteroid with a diameter of 318 meters.
The surface of this asteroid has a first-order Yuan Chen Stone vein. The value of the detected raw Yuan Chen Stone is no less than 80 low-grade planetary origin crystals. Chen Yao finally spent five minutes putting it into the dimensional secret realm.
After the mission ended, the Sky Patrol continued its journey to the next resource point.
……
Because a round of reconnaissance had already been completed beforehand, the operation went very smoothly.
The total time spent was 16 hours and 15 minutes.
The reason it took longer was because two of the Tier 2 mineral resource points that had to be manually mined were found to have extended hidden mineral deposits inside the stars, which is why it took longer.
Fortunately, the harvest was quite pleasing.
Chen Yao roughly estimated that his harvest this time would be no less than two thousand planetary origin crystals. If the small planets that were taken into the dimensional secret realm could bring some surprises, he might even have more than three thousand low-grade planetary origin crystals.
What does this mean?
Generally speaking, captains of the Torch Ship who are exploring alien regions for the first time will harvest an average of around one hundred low-grade planetary origin crystals.
From another perspective, the current market price for a single white artifact in the Starry Sky Union Universe is only 300 to 400 low-grade planetary origin crystals. More than 3000 crystals are enough to buy ten white artifacts.
