My Battleship Can Be Upgraded

If you want to fight, fight, it's that simple.

"Yo hoo, there's another good show to watch."

"Come, come, I'll open a village, Lao Shi wins one point and five, and Brother Dong wins one point one!"

"Gambler, you don't want to die. You like to see Brother Dong hanging and beating Lao Shi, do you dare to open a house without fear of losing your life?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's a big deal to be a white worker in the mine this time. If Brother Dong releases water and Lao Shi wins, hehe, you know."

"I understand, I understand, Lishui Villa~"

"Hey, why does Brother Dong have to say a sigh every time?"

"Nonsense, if I want to know, I'm also moving brother."

"Hahaha!"

There was a cheerful atmosphere in the communication channel.

There are a lot of miners gathered around the forward base, waiting for the asteroid belt window period.

Seeing that Wang Dong gave the most direct response as always, he was all happy.

The cold and dead cosmic starry sky, the dull and boring mining career, without this optimistic attitude of grasping all interesting things, it is indeed too difficult.

Between men, it is naturally the most direct collision, and it is easier to ignite passion.

As soon as Wang Dong's battle declaration came out, Lao Shi's goal was achieved, but he was still not honest.

The mouth was still chattering nonstop.

It's not that he was long-winded, but that he wanted to stir up Wang Dong's emotions through offensive words.

Wang Dong directly set his speech to text display in the communication channel, and his ears were relieved.

The competition between miners naturally does not rely on the poor self-defense laser gun with low power on the mining spaceship.

This self-defense laser gun cannot even penetrate the G1-level aviation steel plate, which is the lowest threshold for entering the universe. Basically, it can only deal with ultra-small space junk.

Miners, of course, compare the skills of their own work.

Such as ship control, or mining operations.

Wang Dong and Lao Shi, the next thing to compare is who can control the spaceship and enter deeper into the mining area.

The asteroid belt mining area is known for its complex airspace conditions.

The deeper you go, the more variables there are, and the more complex the airspace conditions are.

The mining spacecraft that penetrated deep into it, the slightest carelessness is the end of the ship's destruction.

Of course, there is effort to gain.

The deeper the mining area, the richer the veins contained in it.

The more inaccessible the place, the better the mineral veins are preserved.

As long as it can enter smoothly, the harvest must be much higher than the edge of the mining area.

Whether it can reach the deeper part of the mining area is one of the important factors to measure the level of interstellar miners.

This way of fighting is also the best way to reflect the courage and technology of miners.

Naturally, it will lead to the fanatical pursuit of miners.

This is not the first time Lao Shi has challenged Wang Dong and asked him for a test.

Wang Dong was very clear about his thoughts.

Old Shi always believed that the reason why Wang Dong was able to achieve more than other miners every time was because he mastered some unknown information in the mining area.

rather than a purely technical issue.

In terms of spaceship control technology and mining technology, Lao Shi did not think that he would be worse than Wang Dong.

Perhaps, Wang Dong discovered a large-scale ore-rich zone?

Or to find out a certain operation law of the asteroid belt mining area?

Or some other unknown secret?

Lao Shi often followed behind Wang Dong consciously or unintentionally when he was mining, trying to find out Wang Dong's secret in this way.

He also provokes Wang Dong from time to time.

Wang Dong was very annoyed by this guy like brown candy.

Relying on good technology and control of the performance status of the spacecraft, it is not difficult to get rid of the old history as long as you spend a little effort.

But even if he got rid of him ten times, twenty times.

Next time, Lao Shi will use his greasy middle-aged male voice to provoke him again.

Or silently follow behind Wang Dong.

Like a buzzing fly that keeps flying around.

It makes people want to pull its intestines out, wrap it around his neck dozens of times, and pull it hard!

Wow, the world is quiet.

In fact, Wang Dong did this in his previous life.

It was after this competition that Lao Shi disappeared from Wang Dong's life forever.

The world is indeed quiet, but unfortunately only for a while.

The troubles followed closely behind.

"Old rule, start as soon as the window period arrives, and decide the outcome based on the roadmap after the final return."

Still a greasy middle-aged male voice, Lao Shi reiterated the rules of the competition.

"can."

Wang Dong readily responded.

The asteroid belt is always in a state of flux.

Because of different sizes and masses and different turbulent trajectories, the celestial bodies in the asteroid belt also run at different speeds.

In the outermost part of the asteroid belt, there is often a layer of turbulent belts composed of small and micro celestial bodies.

These small and tiny celestial bodies orbit the outer asteroid belt at high speeds.

They are powerful enough to pose a lethal threat to thinly armored, skinny near-air mining craft.

Once hit by these high-speed moving celestial bodies, the mining spacecraft will not be able to withstand a few times.

If the vital parts are damaged, the life-saving cabins are often unable to guarantee the safety of the miners.

Therefore, before the official mining, mining companies will organize special operation ships to try to clean up the outermost turbulence of this layer.

It is not expected to completely truncate this layer of turbulence.

Under celestial motion, that would be too costly.

But it is still necessary to slim down this layer of turbulence.

After cleaning, the turbulence in the outermost layer of the asteroid belt will become so sparse that there will often be a short period of "clearance" for a period of time.

This is the window period that miners call it.

With the help of the empty window period, Wang Dong and other miners' near-air mining spacecraft can safely enter the asteroid belt mining area for operations.

The observation and forecast of the empty window period is also one of the main purposes of the existence of the forward base. .

Chapter 4

Time passes quickly.

This observation of the advance base is still accurate.

The window period came on time.

There is no need to issue an order. As soon as the empty window period appears, whether it is Wang Dong's Mine Overlord II or Lao Shi's near-air overlord generation, all start the engine.

Controlling the spacecraft, with a skilled flight attitude, resolutely crossed the turbulent layer and entered the mining area.

In the cockpit of the Minemaster II, the magnetic restraint straps firmly fixed Wang Dong on the seat in front of the console.

Before entering the mining area, Wang Dong turned off the self-gravity generation system on the spacecraft, and distributed the saved power to the eight lateral orientation adjustment engines on the side of the Mine Ba II hull.

Grip the eight-way rudder in front of you and push the engine power to a third.

Wang Dong felt heartfelt pleasure.

The feeling of personal control is always so fulfilling.

The only regret is that the one under the seat is not the battleship of the previous life, but just a mine tyrant II near-air mining spacecraft.

The near-air mining spacecraft is a little better than the space shuttle.

Compared with the deep space mining spaceships that have formal level armor and can even compete with ordinary armed spaceships, the near space mining spaceships are really just a younger brother.

Compared with the Tomahawk destroyer that Wang Dong drove in his previous life, the Mine Ba II is really lackluster in terms of propulsion, acceleration performance, and even maneuverability such as change-of-direction flight attitude control.

But it also has advantages.

The Mine Ba II, which does not need to consider confrontational factors such as the protection of the battleship, has eight directional adjustment engines all over the hull, which is twice as many as the four of ordinary battleships.

Even in the near-air mining spacecraft that pays more attention to the adjustment of flight attitude, this advantage of the Minemaster II is quite prominent.

Like the generation of near-air overlords driven by Lao Shi, there are only six positions to adjust the engine.

Moreover, as the driving time of the Minemaster II increased, Wang Dong quickly found out all kinds of memories of this type of mining spaceship from his memory.

Very easily, the Mine Dominator II took the lead in the competition by throwing off the old generation of near-air dominators at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Dong fully utilizes the advantages brought by the eight-position adjustment engine to the fullest.

In the asteroid belt with complex airspace conditions, Wang Dong's Mine Ba [-] flexibly adjusts the Mine Ba [-] to make various subtle turns in a narrow space with eight azimuth adjustment engines.

Without reducing the thrust of the main engine and maintaining a higher speed, you can swim in the asteroid belt mining area.
