The asteroid Lin Yun chose is not far from the moon, only a few hundred thousand kilometers away, which is about the same distance between the Earth and the moon. In fact, there are many asteroids within this range, but this asteroid is the largest.

According to Lin Yun's simple calculations, this asteroid is about 30 to 40 kilometers in diameter, which is quite large for an asteroid. Most asteroids that cannot be ignored are less than one kilometer in diameter, or even only a dozen meters.

A diameter of one kilometer is tens of thousands of times larger than a diameter of thirty or forty kilometers.

On the way to that asteroid, Lin Yun had Xingyi stop at some smaller asteroids along the way.

Each time he stopped, Lin Yun released his detection equipment, and in just a moment, he could detect some resources in the asteroid.

Sure enough, most asteroids don't contain many resources.

For example, the total resources of an asteroid with a diameter of several hundred meters are only worth a few dozen spiritual crystals.

It wasn't even enough to cover the spiritual crystals Xingyi and Lin Yu had used to teleport.

However, at the beginning, Lin Yun believed that even a mosquito's leg is meat, so as long as the resource was not too large or time-consuming to collect, he used his collection equipment to collect it.

Anyway, he's already arrived at his destination, and he's already used up the spiritual crystals he consumed with Xingyi's teleportation, so he might as well collect these resources.

The resources within many asteroids, when combined, are worth only a few spiritual crystals.

Lin Yun was speechless.

Faced with such an asteroid, Lin Yun had no desire to collect it at all. Did he really think his time didn't matter?

Come to think of it, such asteroids are quite normal.

These asteroids are too small, not even as big as some large ships on Earth. He once hijacked the ore from several ships belonging to the Mo family, including some rare minerals, which were worth only a few hundred spiritual crystals.

After encountering more than a dozen such asteroids, Lin Yun finally lost interest in lingering on them any longer.

He instructed Xingyi to head directly to the designated asteroid.

At this moment, he began to understand Xinglan's mindset when traveling through interstellar space.

At first, I was interested in looking at some asteroids, but later it became too difficult to examine them one by one.

He now has Xingyi teleport to its destination, and it's alright that it passes by these asteroids along the way.

If Xingyi were to teleport there intentionally, or pilot a spaceship or warship, constantly starting and stopping, it would be a waste of energy.

Excluding the time spent in the previous moments, after teleporting continuously for more than twenty seconds, Lin Yun and his two companions arrived at their destination.

"Investigate..."

Lin Yun released the little lion detector and said.

"Beep beep—"

Because the area wasn't large, the little lion didn't need to run outside. It circled around Lin Yun and the other two, and data was quickly transmitted to the virtual video in front of them.

"There are rare resources here, and the quantity is decent, not bad..."

Lin Yun's eyes lit up.

This time, it wasn't a wasted trip at all.

The next moment, Lin Yun waved his hand and released the collection equipment to begin collecting data.

"Boom—"

The collection equipment plunged into the ground, while tentacles emerged, rapidly swallowing and refining the resources.

Lin Yun watched as the data transmitted from the data acquisition equipment rapidly increased.

Five minutes... ten minutes...

Half an hour... an hour...

Unlike the moon, where Lin Yun only collected resources within 10,000 meters, he planned to collect all the resources from this asteroid.

"This asteroid is so far away from Earth and so small, it shouldn't cause any changes on Earth," Lin Yun thought.

There are too many such asteroids in the solar system, and quite a few around Earth. In fact, some of these asteroids near Earth pose a potential threat to Earth. If one of them were to collide with Earth one day, it would be a major catastrophe.

It is said that an asteroid with a diameter of more than ten kilometers can cause devastating damage to Earth, let alone an asteroid with a diameter of thirty or forty kilometers.

If he were to completely eliminate the target, it might actually benefit the safety of Earth.

However, since he has already deployed defensive equipment around Earth, this asteroid no longer poses a threat to Earth's safety, so there is no need to worry about that.

Two hours later, Lin Yun had collected all the resources from the asteroid, obtaining a total of 600,000 spiritual crystals.

"This harvest is alright..."

Lin Yun smiled faintly.

Although it cannot compare to what he gained on the moon, one should not be too greedy.

The moon is thousands of kilometers in diameter. Even if he only collects resources from a depth of 10,000 meters, the volume he collects would far exceed the volume of this asteroid. It's quite remarkable that he has such a large harvest.

Look at Xinglan.

Over such a long period of time, the other side has encountered quite a few asteroids of this size, but the most they have gained from asteroids is only a few hundred thousand spiritual crystals.

Many times, when Xinglan encountered such large asteroids, it only managed to collect a few thousand spiritual crystals, which might not even be enough to cover the energy consumed by the spaceship during its long journey.

He was very lucky to have obtained 600,000 spiritual crystals from his first chosen target.

However, because he couldn't access the resources on the moon, he could only pick and choose the easier ones to collect, so this time the resource collection was slower.

On the moon, he collected resources worth seven million spiritual crystals in just seven or eight hours.

It took him two hours to collect resources worth 600,000 spiritual crystals on this asteroid.

The hourly harvesting speed differs by more than three times.

Actually, the latter is the normal speed.

However, Lin Yun was very dissatisfied with this speed.

Keep in mind, how long did he travel? It took him less than thirty-one seconds to travel from Earth to the Moon!

The journey from the moon to this destination, excluding travel time, takes only about thirty seconds!

Now, it takes him two hours just to collect resources from one target location!

Time is money!

This is taking far too long!

"Perhaps we can buy another data collection device..."

Lin Yun thought to himself.

If we buy another data acquisition device, we might be able to use them separately.

Lin Yun already had an idea in his mind.

No wonder, the Cosmic Trading System says that the owner of the Cosmic Trading System generally has two periods of rapid development: one is when he first obtains the Cosmic Trading System, and the other is when he leaves his civilization.

Now, isn't it time for him to leave the civilization he belongs to?

He is now acquiring spiritual crystals at an extremely fast pace, and is about to gather another ten million spiritual crystals. Since he cannot purchase a level four technological civilization warship, he can consider purchasing a second Starry Sky Realm robot.

After all, if a Type IV civilization were to send forces to deal with Earth, it would be almost impossible for them to send only one warship.

If he wants to resist, he can't rely on just one robot with the strength of a Star Realm warrior.

Originally, he was unsure whether the unknown civilization would come. If it did, he had purchased some defensive equipment to defend himself first, and then quickly collect resources from Earth to sell on the cosmic trading system.

Even if it disrupts the ecological balance on Earth, we are willing to do it. After all, Earth is about to be invaded, and humanity may be enslaved. The Earth's environment will no longer matter.

Later, after confirming that the unknown civilization had received the message, he became anxious, made arrangements on Earth, and headed to the moon.

Now, he discovers that the situation outside Earth is much better than he imagined.

Therefore, there is great potential in this matter.

However, the specifics will depend on the situation at the next destination...

After all, according to Xinglan's description, acquiring resources outside a planet, while fast, isn't exactly quick, especially since it relies too much on luck...

Xinglan traveled through the starry sky for several months and only managed to obtain a little over 200,000 spiritual crystals.

Even if he has a more powerful martial arts robot and a better spaceship than Xinglan, his speed of acquiring various resources probably won't be much better.

If it weren't for Xinglan's information, he would have come to the starry sky to collect resources long ago.

"Let's set off for the second objective..."

Lin Yun put away the data collection and detection equipment, looked up at the next asteroid, and chuckled.

This asteroid is quite far away, about 800,000 kilometers away, and it's not as big as this one, with a diameter of only about 20 kilometers.
