Chapter 79 Energy Crystal (Additional update on New Year’s Eve)


Chapter 79 Energy Crystal (New Year's Eve update)

Both of them were in a daze. The slightly fluorescent crystal made four words flash in their minds.

“Energy Crystal!”

What is Energy Crystal?

As the name suggests, it is a crystal condensed after highly purified energy.

The formation of this special resource requires extremely harsh conditions. Generally speaking, only in places where the non-attributed energy is extremely rich, and after thousands or more of years of gestation, can such crystals appear.

Even the Zerg race, which claims to be able to swallow all energy and store it in its own body, has a high probability of condensing energy crystals. It is just that the probability of condensation is higher than that of other star sea races. Just some.

And this energy crystal has nothing to do with the level of the living body, it is entirely a matter of probability.

Sometimes high-level insect queens that have lived for hundreds or thousands of years may not condense energy crystals in their bodies, and some low-level insect queens that have only been conceived for a few months may also be conceived with good luck. Energy crystals came out.

Of course, energy crystals are also divided into levels, and this is directly related to the life level of the life form being conceived.

Once energy crystals are condensed in a higher-order organism, it is naturally a high-level energy crystal, while if it is condensed in a lower-order organism, it is a low-level energy crystal.

After getting excited, the two quickly dug out the shining, fist-sized crystal.

After looking at it for a while, the two came to the conclusion that the energy crystal condensed in the body of the insect queen was a valuable intermediate energy crystal.

The reason why it is said to be valuable is very simple. In addition to having a very small chance of condensation and being relatively rare, energy crystals also have another very amazing function, which is the success of improving the advancement of the fireship. Rate.

It has been mentioned many times in the courses taught by the school in the past that the initial success rate of first-level fireships and above after starting the promotion mission is only 1%.

If you want to increase this success rate, in addition to investing in alien planets to hunt alien creatures, you can also invest in specific rare and enhanced resources.

Although this item has the limitation that it can only obtain a maximum success rate bonus of 10%, it is more sought after by most Xinhuo captains.

Because "hunting aliens" sounds simple, but in fact it is very dangerous.

Only by hunting high-level aliens can the success rate be significantly improved. If you are hunting the same level or low-level aliens, it will cost you millions to increase the success rate by 1%. Therefore, No matter what kind of hunting it is, it is not something ordinary people can do, and it is even full of dangers.

As for the item "Invest specific rare strengthening resources", although the specific resources required are a little harder to find, and the types of resources required by each spaceship to start the promotion mission are also different, after all We can roughly delineate that small group, and as long as we can prepare a few things in advance, we can still collect most of them within a year.

The most important thing is that this path is safe enough, and the upper limit may not be that high. Even if all resources are collected, it can only reach 11% (1% {initial} + 10%).

But even if the promotion fails in the end, the price will only be the sinking of the airship. The captain himself will not be greatly affected. At most, he will lose the hope of continuing to be promoted with Guidance. Compared with choosing Hunter For Captain Xinhuo, who kills aliens but is likely to die in the alien star sea in the end, the result is much better.

The reason why I say so much is because this energy crystal is one of the various special resources needed for the promotion of the airship.

For those Xinhuo captains who have started or are about to start the promotion mission, this energy crystal is a must. Therefore, in the entire Xinhuo human civilization strong area, the value of energy crystals is equal to that of titanium crystals. This kind of strategic level resource is comparable, let alone the relatively rare mid-level energy crystal among energy crystals.

Compared with ordinary low-level energy crystals, mid-level energy crystals can be effective on higher-level promotion ships.

For example, to advance a first-order fireship to the second level, only low-level energy crystals are needed, while to advance a second-order fireship to the third level, it may require intermediate energy crystals. If the level goes up, it must be an intermediate energy crystal.

"The value of the intermediate energy crystal is at least worth a blue quality rare item, or even purple."

Holding the intermediate energy crystal, Song Chi said softly.

Beside him, Shen Qing's eyes were also fiery, but he quickly thought of something again and shook his head slightly.

He has already taken the molecular repulsion energy shield. This intermediate energy crystal should be chosen by Song Chi first. In this way, this crystal basically has nothing to do with him. But he knows that Song Chi Chi's mother has been attacking the second level recently, and it is impossible for Song Chi to give up this intermediate energy crystal.

The facts were just as he thought. After just thinking for a moment, Song Chi took out two items from the Cangqiong and handed them to Shen Qing.

The core of pollution and the shimmer-class naval gun.

If he wants to get this intermediate energy crystal, then based on the fact that Shen Qing has to get the big head, he must get two of the four rare items he got before, otherwise it will be completely the other way around. .

After all, the value of the intermediate energy crystal is only half a point less than the molecular repulsion energy shield.

Shen Qing did not refuse. Naturally, Song Chi was not the only one who could settle this matter.

After counting everything in the second layer of space, except for the corpses of the iron beetles and splash bugs, and making sure that nothing else was missing, the two men controlled the airship and sailed to the isolation space on the first and second floors. screen.

The first level of the ruins space is still filled with thick poisonous fog, and there are tens of thousands of iron beetles scattered throughout the space. Regarding this, Song Chi and the two have no interest in continuing to clean up. Left this ruin space.

These Iron Beetles are not originally high-level Zerg like the Queen of Insects. As true zero-level Zerg, even if all tens of thousands of Iron Beetles are killed, they can only get 1 ray of zero-level floating insects. Lu Benyuan's efforts and gains are completely out of proportion.

If their ship has a large-scale destructive main gun that can clear out tens of thousands of iron beetles within a few shots, then they may not mind delaying this for a while, but the problem is No.

……

The familiar scene of rolling yellow sand, a terrifying tornado bursting unbridled in the distance, and two psionic airships shuttled across this completely deserted floating land.

When they arrived at a suitable location, the two nether energy airships no longer had any scruples. The engines were started at full strength, roaring into the sky, and soon left the interior of the floating continent and arrived in the outer starry sky.

Compared with the dangers that may be encountered at any time inside the Floating Continent, the starry sky outside is still the same as the starry sky in most star regions of the Broken Star Sea, dark and quiet.

The two airships, one behind the other, quickly broke out of the gravitational field of the Yellow Sand Floating Land.

What the Qingfeng speeding ahead did not notice was that Song Chi found the right opportunity and laid a special, traceless space beacon midway through the Cangqiong's speed.

It is the spatial anchor that has been removed from the bedroom.

With this space anchor, every subsequent exploration of the alien star field, he can choose to come to this star field again to continue the unfinished exploration of the ruins of the Bullo civilization. Of course, he will not act easily before everything is completely ready. There is a former third-order insect queen sleeping on the second floor of the ruins, and there is something even more terrifying on the third floor.

"Xiaochi, if you don't have to, please don't reveal this matter to the outside world. After all, it involves purple rare objects and intermediate energy crystals, which can easily cause The greed of outsiders."

Song Chi glanced at Shen Qing's projection on the communication screen, nodded calmly, and agreed.

He knew what Shen Qing was thinking. In addition to the above, there should be another reason why he wanted to keep it secret, which was to prevent the matter from reaching Shen Wenjie's ears.

The whole process of my nephew's exploration of the ruins was hidden from his uncle. If Shen Wenjie really knew about it, no matter how generous he was, he would inevitably have other thoughts in his heart.

During the chat, the time to return soon came. After the familiar weightlessness and dizziness, the Cangqiong and Qingfeng disappeared into the starry sky above the Yellow Sand Floating Continent. When they reappeared, there was already an unknown amount of light. The powerful domain of human civilization that has been burning for years.

Above the White Tower Floating Continent, a mining fleet returning from the White Tower planetary belt was on its way at full speed.

Since the fire fleet battle incident in the mining area more than a month ago, Tianyu Mining Company has become much stricter about the management of the mining area. Various detections are conducted in various areas of the mining area all day long, and almost the entire mining area has been overturned. I turned everything upside down, for fear of missing something.

Now this fleet has been allowed to return for the first time in half a month. The miners, who have long been impatient to go home to see their wives and children, naturally do not want to waste any time.

Suddenly, a strong spatial fluctuation swept across the airspace 10,000 meters ahead.

Seeing this, a group of interstellar mining ships stopped moving forward one after another, and an old miner exclaimed in the local communication channel.

"Space fluctuation, this is the return of fire warships with psionic energy airships or above. Everyone can rest assured, they are not alien creatures..."

After hearing the explanation, there was a lot of commotion in the fleet. Calm down. Although these miners are just ordinary citizens, they are still familiar with the words "Xinhuo Airship".

On weekdays, they have often heard of the "Morning Star Founding War", "Golden Lion Defense War" and "Second Morning Star Exploration". These battle stories are closely related to the Xinhuo Airship.

The big shots who control the Xinhuo airship are the defenders of the entire Xinhuo human civilization. They are the flesh and blood shields standing at the forefront of the civilized battlefield, guarding the stability and peace of the entire Xinhuo human civilization.

All of this has been passed down orally from the older generation. The trust in the Xinhuo airship and the Xinhuo captain is also engraved in the bones of all ordinary citizens of the Xinhuo human civilization.

Under the excited and awed gazes of the miners, two psionic airships more than twenty meters long, wrapped under the armor of the ferocious hulls, slowly emerged.

Feeling the faint blood color coming from the hulls of the Cangqiong and Qingfeng, as well as the sense of chill in the dark, which are the traces left after killing thousands of Zerg, a trace of The miners held their breath and concentrated. Even though they were thousands of meters apart, the looming pressure made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Fortunately, the Cangqiong and the Qingfeng did not stay too long. They turned around and flew downwards, and soon disappeared from the civilian radar of a group of interstellar mining ships.

In an interstellar mining ship at the back of the fleet, a young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old with a slightly green face asked the man in the driver's seat beside him.

"Brother, that is the ultimate weapon of our Xinhuo human civilization - the Xinhuo Warship, what a strong magnetic field, what a heavy murderous aura."

"So majestic! !”

Looking at the young man’s shining eyes, the man dissipated the strong look of envy in his eyes and turned to the young man:

"Yes, that is the ultimate force of our Xinhuo human civilization. It is said that one ship can suppress a floating land and one ship can dominate the star sea. Your brother and I were too low in the level of guidance back then and could not awaken the Xinhuo. This is the regret of my life."

"So, brother, you must work hard and practice the art of guidance to become the first Xinhuo captain in our family, and carry forward the family in the future. I will burn the fire of human civilization into the wider starry sky, and spread the power of my human civilization."

Looking at the direction where the Sky and Qingfeng left, the green young man's eyes were firm. , the same is true of the answer from the mouth.

"Hmm!!"

......

Over Jiangyuan City, after parting with Shen Qing, Song Chi went straight to his Dongjiang community, wanting to take care of him as soon as possible The intermediate energy crystal in my hand was in my mother's hand.

Although the intermediate energy crystals are somewhat overkill when used to upgrade the first-level fireship to the second level, Song Chi can't care so much. The most important thing is to ensure that his mother can be successfully promoted. As for what to waste, Yes, with the cornucopia of Zhutian Market in hand, he would be reluctant to part with this drizzle?

Calculating the time, it has been more than ten months since Mom started the promotion mission. There are only less than two months left before the ship is officially promoted. We must ensure that the promotion success rate of Dragonfly is at 50 % or above is enough.

No, 50% is not safe, it is better to be above 70%.

Thinking, the Cangqiong had arrived at Dongjiang Community, Song Chi jumped off the airship and took the Cangqiong back to the Xinhuo Ancestral Aperture.

But when he got home, he found that no one was at home, and his parents were not there, which made him a little confused.

He clearly remembered that his parents’ delivery time was still buffering.

"Did you happen to go out?"

Before he could think about it, a note soon appeared on the dining table not far away.

"Er, your grandma's birthday is coming soon. Dad and I are going to Baita City. You should come here early!!"

Song Chi suddenly understood, but quickly raised his eyebrows.

“There are still a few days, isn’t it? With such a big battle, it seems that this time it will be organized in a big way.”

After understanding the cause and effect, no one in Song Chi stayed at home for too long. I mean, rush to Baita City quickly.

As the capital city of Baita Fulu, Baita City is located in the middle of the other four cities. The four major cities of Jiangyuan and Gangwon are located on one side of each other, surrounding Baita City like stars holding the moon.

In addition, Baita City also has the largest population among the five cities, and the only fourth-level Fire Captain on the entire White Tower Floating Continent.
