For humanity, burn the stars.

After doing all this, Qin Heling reached out and gently pressed his brow.

There are more and more things to consider, and the challenges for him are getting greater and greater.

Although he has played the game for so long, the number of alien empires that have fallen on his path of conquest is countless.

However, the game does not require players to conduct scientific research or engage in production and construction.

Simply select a large area, then set a template to start building.

He has little experience with things as detailed as this, things that require his personal involvement in designing, planning, and building.

Fortunately, he can search for relevant knowledge from the seed fire system at any time.

Otherwise, if the production system cannot be set up in a complete set, then everything will be in vain.

In this respect, players are similar.

Sending them to fight monsters, level up, or explore is a very easy task.

But if you actually ask them to work on production lines or plan construction, many of them would probably have no idea where to start.

However, the existence of the Seed Fire system instance simplifies the relevant knowledge into what they need to do, thus solving this problem.

Sitting back in his seat, Qin Heling sighed softly to himself.

"Seed Fire System"...

Now that it has truly become humanity's hope for resurgence, the heroic spirits must feel gratified.

-----------------

The next morning, the players were speechless with astonishment as they looked at the two industrial behemoths parked in the open space in front of the spaceship.

They had seen that mining vehicle before; after all, it had always been placed next to the manufacturing bed, so it was hard not to notice it.

But... what is that thing next to it that looks like a hundred-ton behemoth?

It's less like a car and more like a giant platform with a bunch of huge wheels underneath.

And the fact that this thing doesn't have a cockpit is what makes it look the strangest thing.

There are many pre-reserved slots on it, which seem to allow it to be fixed in place later according to the shape of large equipment.

Named "Carrying Beast Type 1 (Engineering Use)," it can automatically navigate to a designated location without human intervention.

It can be said that all of its designs are geared towards the purpose of efficient transportation.

The players were completely stunned when they saw the transport vehicle.

"They managed to create something like this in just one night?!"

"Making a mother bed is amazing! I thought the production capacity of this thing wasn't large, but this vehicle is even bigger than a mother bed!!"

However, another group of players have a slightly different focus.

"Brother, forget about those reconnaissance vehicles! This is the real troop transport!"

"Look at this huge platform... It would be perfect if it had some bulletproof shields on the sides."

"Forget about it. Just by looking at its size, this thing is much more expensive than an exploration vehicle, and I doubt it'll even be as fast."

As Qin Heling walked out, the surrounding players quickly quieted down.

The players stood in formation and gestured to him, then switched the conversation to the chat channel.

During their trip over the past few days, they have gradually begun to develop a habit.

They will not use any theatrical phrases in front of NPCs, but they will also greet and gesture to Qin Heling and Adela.

As Qin Heling stepped out, he looked at the players in front of him and met their excited eyes, knowing that they couldn't wait any longer.

Walking to the small resource collector, Qin Heling addressed the players loudly:

"Fellow warriors, we have now located the first mineral vein."

"This is a significant step for human unity!"

"Now, you can choose to continue exploring this unknown planet, or you can devote yourself to equally important construction and production."

"But whichever path you choose, your efforts are the cornerstone of humanity's renewed journey towards the stars!"

As Qin Heling finished speaking, a new mission appeared before the players.

[Task: Construct outwards from Mine Area I]

Let's set foot on this planet!

[Long-term tasks, rewards are calculated daily based on 'contribution points' and 'workload']

As for the so-called "contribution value" and "workload", they are not as mysterious as they seem.

Simply put: more work, more pay; less work, less pay; fair and just.

The players responded to Qin Heling with enthusiastic shouts, and the channel immediately became lively.

"Brothers, let's get the mortar mixing done on the construction site!"

"Let's go down into the mine. Remember to dig three times and fill in one."

"Hey buddy up ahead, this place has the most realistic physics engine. You'll behave yourself once we bury you."

"666, this is the first time I've ever seen myself think of myself as a ginseng root."

Although the new mission is a seemingly uninteresting construction task, many players actually find it quite novel.

They also wanted to see just how realistic this game could be.

Moreover, exploration doesn't yield daily rewards, but completing tasks guarantees tangible rewards.

Several players, including "I'm such a noob" and "Little Gummy Bear," immediately climbed onto the transport vehicle without hesitation.

After all, they had already had this idea the day before.

Although the implementation process is somewhat different, the result remains the same.

They must start dusting immediately!

Soon, many players who hadn't gained much on the first day or were worried about the unstable returns joined the ride.

There were about seventeen or eighteen people, which isn't a small number.

The remaining players, having gained rewards and points on the first day, intend to continue.

Some people, even though the returns are not great, are still unwilling to give up.

Even if there's no real benefit, they think it's better to enjoy the scenery and explore than to go straight to the battlefield.

However, there were actually more than a dozen players who didn't come back at all last night.

If Qin Heling hadn't been keeping an eye on them and knew they were doing alright, she would have worried they might have died outside.

In short, the development of the mineral vein officially begins today.

The small resource collectors set off first, followed by transport vehicles carrying the players, along with a small amount of materials and supplies prepared for their temporary base.

The players in the car left amidst laughter and chatter, but some concerns remained in the chat.

"Won't mining be boring?"

"Working outside the game is one thing, but having to work inside the game too? I must be a born beast of burden."

"Unlike other games, I guess you'll have to do everything yourself here. I hope there will be some new side quests or something."

Qin Heling looked at the comments and smiled to herself.

It shouldn't bore the players.

After all, in addition to the sky and the ground, there are also creatures underground on this planet.

Moreover, players have yet to encounter any truly intelligent life on this planet...
