Eight hours later, Wang Dong, operating the spaceship, carefully reached the vicinity of the first coordinate point and began scanning using the mineral detector.
“This one doesn’t have it…that one doesn’t have it either…”
Scanning each celestial body one by one, Wang Dong found no other discoveries except for some common minerals.
Clearly, the first location was not the correct one.
Wang Dong's ten hours of busy work were all in vain.
But he didn’t mind.
A one-third chance, it was normal not to hit it.
“Hopefully, the next coordinate point will have good luck.”
Wang Dong prayed silently.
Calculating coordinate points was not easy. If it wasn’t for the assistance of the onboard light brain on the Pond, Wang Dong alone wouldn’t be able to do it.
This mining time could only allow Wang Dong to explore two coordinate points at most. He still needed some time to collect enough minerals to go back and dispose of them.
Concealing his identity was the most important thing right now.
When he set off again to search for the next mining day, the target coordinate points needed to be recalculated.
The results may be two, or maybe three or more, in any case, it’s unlikely to be one.
It means that he needs to continue to try his luck.
Wang Dong didn’t like this kind of luck-based behavior.
It would be best if he could solve it once.
After flying for another seven hours, the Type II Explorer reached the second coordinate point.
Having controlled the spaceship almost continuously for twenty hours, Wang Dong was already somewhat tired.
“The practice of the primary body tempering technique can enhance physical strength and energy. Unfortunately, the entry-level body tempering technique requires Starlight Grass, which is monopolized by the privileged class. Without the right channel, it is difficult to obtain it.”
Although he knew that in a while, after Wang Dong’s illegitimate child status was acknowledged by the Blackrock Baron, he would be taken back to Blackrock Star as soon as possible. At that time, obtaining Starlight Grass would be an easy matter.
But Wang Dong still missed the abundant energy and physical fitness after his body tempering technique reached a small accomplishment in his previous life.
He skillfully opened the mineral detector and began to investigate the nearby asteroid minerals.
This set of movements had already become a muscular habit for him.
Otherwise, after his rebirth, he wouldn’t have recovered to the level of an elite miner so quickly.
“Huh!”
The data fed back by the detector flowed like a waterfall on the small virtual screen in front of Wang Dong.
Wang Dong immediately caught the information in it!
“Scarly Ore!”
This is a rare mineral. It presents a gorgeous metallic luster.
Apart from being used as decoration, it has almost no practicality, so its value is not high.
But miners love it.
Because inside this kind of ore, there is often energy crystal!
And in Wang Dong's memory, one of the characteristics of that mine site was the existence of Scarly Ore.
“Stay calm, the answer has not been revealed yet.”
Wang Dong suppressed his excitement.
Although he found Scarly Ore, it’s uncertain whether it is just an isolated case. Besides, whether or not it contains energy crystal is still unknown before being opened.
Carefully approaching, spreading the magnetic restraint, extending the mining equipment, and performing cleavage collection.
Thirty minutes later, Wang Dong, using a small manual drill, chiseled off the last layer of Scarly Ore, and looked at the fist-sized mid-level energy crystal hidden inside.
Almost two units of mid-level energy crystals!
In addition, in subsequent explorations, Wang Dong successively found traces of Scarly Ore.
There is no doubt that Wang Dong found the right answer at the second coordinate point!
“Haha, thank fate for its favor.”
Wang Dong laughed out loud.
And he seized the time to prioritize the collection of all the Scarly Ore in the vicinity into the cargo hold of the Type II Explorer.
As for further cleavage collection of the energy crystal inside, Wang Dong didn’t rush to do it.
Time is precious and cannot be all consumed in this process of manual cleavage, which takes a long time.
As long as he first collects these Scarly Ores and transfers them to the Pond, Wang Dong can completely perform this procedure slowly later.
It was five hours later when Wang Dong, driving the Type II Explorer, carefully rendezvoused with the Pond.
On the Pond, Wang Dong unloaded the hundreds of tons of minerals that might contain energy crystals, which he had harvested this time.
He also loaded some of the valuable minerals stored on the Pond.
This was what Wang Dong had collected before, which was prepared for the reinforcement and upgrade of the onboard modules on the Pond.
With not much mining time left, Wang Dong used this part of the storage as the normal harvest of this mining trip.
