Chapter 433 New Mineral Veins
After a long time, the people gathered outside discovered that the power was no longer changing, and even the detectors no longer sounded the alarm.

"Looks like this is the end? I just don't know what this person is doing in there."

"No matter what we do, it's definitely not what we can imagine. Let's just disperse..."

The crowd shouted and dispersed in front of Mu En's room, returned to their own positions and started their work.

……

"Captain, our base needs to expand outward. The mineral resources here have been almost mined out."

The Minister of Collection reported at the meeting that most of the high-energy crystal mines here have been mined by them, and now the remaining veins will be completely exhausted in two months at most.

They must find new mineral resources before the mineral veins are exhausted so that the base can continue to grow.

"So soon? It seems we really need to search for new mineral veins."

Captain Loken murmured, all the production facilities in the base are producing at full capacity, which makes the consumption of this high-energy crystal mine very huge. If they want to continue to grow, they must find new mine veins.

After pondering for a moment, Captain Locke looked at the director of production.

"David, how about the production department? We must find and build a new base before the mine runs out."

"No problem!" David, the production director, replied, "The production in the production department is under control. We can allocate some people to build a new command center."

Hearing this, Captain Locke nodded slightly, saying that it would be good if they could allocate more manpower.

"Then let's do this. We will assign some people to build a new command center first, and then assign some people to join the exploration team to explore new mineral veins."

"Okay, I'll arrange it in a moment."

David nodded, then looked at the Minister of Arms.

"The outbound exploration team needs your support, especially in terms of armed forces."

"understand!"

After the Minister of Arms nodded, Captain Locke looked at everyone and spoke slowly.

"Okay, that's it for this meeting."

After saying that, he stood up and left the meeting room. As a captain, he did not need to do everything himself. He only needed to control the general direction and make sure that there were no problems with the transport ship and the crew.

Moreover, this exploration was very simple for them. After all, energy crystals were what Moon and the Kryptonians needed.

When we go out to explore, Mu En and the others will naturally not be missing.

However, Moon's strength is extremely strong, and he plans to send out the mechanical hound. He has also discussed with General Zod about the Kryptonians, and two Kryptonians will go with them.

While they were having the meeting, the Kryptonians also started their meeting at the call of General Zod.

"...That's the thing. As a partner, we also need to provide some strength. Moreover, the energy crystal veins are very important to us. We must master the method of identifying the veins. So I plan to select one person each from the warriors and craftsmen. In addition to escorting them, they will also learn how to explore the veins."

As he spoke, General Zod looked at the people in front of him and thought carefully.

After a while, he had an idea and said after glancing at everyone.

"Reger and Monte, the two of you will carry out this mission. This mission is very important!"

"Follow the general."

The strong Regel and the smaller Monte next to him responded that they had no dissatisfaction with General Zod's order. They were already used to such things.

"Very good. Next, I want to talk about the issue of the restoration of Kryptonian technology. Our transaction is closely related to the restoration work. This is related to whether Krypton can be rebuilt."

As they spoke, everyone turned their attention to the only scientist among them.

"The problem with technological restoration is not too bad. Now I have restored 10% of the wreckage of the wave. I believe we will be able to complete the transaction soon and get the Kryptonian Secret Codex back."

"Very good. Technological restoration is our most important task at the moment. No matter what happens, there must be no problems in this regard."

Zod nodded slowly, everything was running as usual, Krypton was waiting for them not far away.

……

"The mineral exploration team is about to set off!"

A man shouted and ran towards the defensive position, which attracted the attention of Mu En who was walking in the base.

"Are we going to set off now? You are still very efficient."

Mu En had known about the mineral exploration team not long ago, but he didn't expect their efficiency to be so high. They were ready to set off in such a short time.

With a light tap of his feet, Mu En flew out instantly and rushed towards the defensive position.

As soon as he arrived at the position, Mu En's attention was attracted by the fortress flying in the air.

This is the command center in flight. Those huge engines brought the command center into the air, allowing the command center to move in the air.

Moreover, this command center was newly built and is ready to move with the exploration team until new mineral veins are found.

"This is really good. Although it cannot be compared with the other two tribes, they have also walked their own path."

Looking at the people gathered below the command center, Mu En slowly descended from the air.

"Are we leaving now?"

"That's right. The mineral veins are about to run out. In order to ensure development, we can only look for new mineral veins to mine before they run out."

Captain Locke replied that he would never do that if Muen and the others were not there.

They will only mine as many resources as possible to replenish the transport ship, and then head towards the next unknown planet, continuing to search for the Koprulu star sector with everyone on the transport ship.

But with the help of Mu En and others, he can let go and focus on developing production and adding stronger ships to the fleet.

Until a fleet is formed, then set out on the journey again.

"That is indeed an important matter."

Mu En nodded in agreement. Energy crystals and high-energy gas have many uses, and they are important resources to ensure the production and operation of all facilities.

Now that the mineral veins here are exhausted, we really have to look for new mineral veins.

"How can I help you?"

"Well...there's nothing you need for now. I've already arranged everything."

Captain Locke whispered that the strength of this exploration team was sufficient, and even if they encountered an insect swarm again, they could provide timely support.

Seeing that the other party said so, Mu En didn't say anything more. Anyway, they would come to him if they needed anything.

The exploration team was not only composed of Marines, but also Vultures used as scouts, several siege tanks, and even several Goliath robots. This was not a game, and if only Marines were allowed to travel, even with Kryptonians and mechanical hounds following them, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

But with vultures, siege tanks and Goliath robots, the pressure on the Marines will be much less, and they can face all accidents more easily.

The exploration team quickly gathered and set off after checking their weapons and equipment.

A group of people set out in a mighty procession, and everyone in the base watched them leave. Every exploration was a farewell of life and death, and no one could guarantee that they would see these people again next time. After all, the exploration team had another name, and that was the Suicide Squad.

As the exploration team and the command center left, the people in the defensive positions also dispersed. Next, they would concentrate on mining the veins that were about to be exhausted and prepare to move to new veins.

"It looks like I have nothing to do with it?"

After walking around the base, Mu En shook his head helplessly.

The entire base is in good order, and except for the insect swarm, his help is not needed here at all.

"Forget it. This is a good opportunity to see how Kryptonian Technology has been restored."

As he spoke, he walked towards General Zod and his men.

……

a few days later

During the long-distance exploration team, several engineers operating SCV discovered a suspected mineral vein through their equipment.

"Let's go ahead and have a look. There is a mineral vein reaction ahead."

As they spoke, several Marines formed a team and rushed towards the direction they said with the Vultures and Goliath robots.

They discovered several suspected mineral veins along the way, but eventually determined that those places were not veins of energy crystals and high-energy gas, but veins of some ordinary metals.

Although these metal veins are equally important, the most important ones now are the veins of energy crystals and high-energy gas.

The small team of Marines rushed towards that place with bayonets in hand. The Goliath robot was speeding on the ground, and soon they arrived at the place the engineer mentioned.

"This is it, it should be right."

The team leader raised his hand and waved lightly, and the Goliath robot took the lead and attacked the bare ground.

Cracks appeared in the ground under the attack of artillery fire, and soon something under the ground was exposed.

"Ceasefire!"

The captain shouted, then walked into the big pit that was blasted out and began to check.

"That's right, this is the energy crystal vein, but I don't know what the mineral reserves here are."

As he spoke, the captain looked at the team members standing beside him.

"Contact the team, an energy crystal has been found here!"

If it can be confirmed that this is an energy crystal vein, then associated gas such as high-energy gas will of course appear along with it. This is why the captain did not check for the high-energy gas.

The team members reported the news to the main force very seriously. They had indeed found an energy crystal vein. The specific reserves of the vein could only be determined by professional engineers.

The people in the large army waited for a long time, and then the team that was sent out sent news.

"Found it. The mineral vein has finally been discovered."

As long as they find a mineral vein, it will be good. However, they are not sure about the resource reserves of the mineral vein yet. If it is just a thin layer, then all their efforts will be in vain.

The large army marched towards that direction in a mighty manner, and the command center flying in the sky also moved slowly.

After a long time, the large force finally arrived. Engineers operated the SCV to mine the mine and extract vein samples for testing.

Pieces of blue energy crystal were mined, and engineers finally detected the reserves of this vein.

"Although this vein is just an ordinary energy crystal vein, the reserves in it are extremely large, much more than the veins at the base."

After the engineers confirmed it, everyone in the exploration team became excited. Such a huge mineral vein was enough for them to develop.

But the environment here is not as good as that at the base. It is flat everywhere and cannot be compared with the base at all.

At least the terrain at the base is good. Being surrounded by mountains on both sides allows them to focus more on defending both sides.

"The terrain here is a problem, but the captain should be able to handle it." The engineer turned to look at the command center in the air. "The ground has been cleared, and the command center is preparing to land."

As the words fell, the command center slowly arrived at the target location. The power of the thrusters continued to weaken, and the huge command center slowly descended.

snort~
With a burst of exhaust sound, the command center landed successfully, several thruster engines were shut down, and the command center was started up.

"Okay, it's time to start!"

The engineer walked into the command center. He had to report to the base, and left this place to the exploration team.

Outside the command center, the siege tanks switched to siege mode and the Marines also stayed in place to prepare for defense.

In front of them, several SCVs were busy. They had already taken out independent modules from the command center. Now they just needed to connect the modules to build the bunker.

Various modules are still being manufactured in the command center, and the defense problem here will be solved soon.

The people at the base also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news, and were even more excited after hearing about the mineral reserves.

"Okay, I'll leave the situation over there to you. Infrastructure construction can also be carried out over there. Once the mineral veins here are completely exhausted, we will set off."

Captain Locke gave orders into the communicator, a smile plastered on his face.

"It seems that this planet has a lot of resources. We have found a larger mineral vein not long after we set out.

It's a pity that we are short of manpower, otherwise we could really develop a fleet."

Everything is going very smoothly now. If it weren't for population constraints, he could really sail through the universe with a fleet.

But there are no ifs in this world. As human beings, they have no way to increase the population rapidly. Even in the known universe, only the Zerg can reproduce rapidly.

So he could only develop small ships and use them as escort weapons.

"Fortunately, with Mu En and the others, we can develop peacefully for a while."

Captain Locke thought carefully and was very grateful for the cooperation with Mu En and others.

If it weren't for the help of Mu En and others, they would probably still be wandering in the universe, looking for new planets to replenish supplies while looking for a way back.

"Maybe we should notify them."

As Captain Locke said this, he walked towards where Mu En lived. The new base had been determined, and if any abnormal situation occurred, Mu En and others would be needed to help.
