First of all, Chen Ming can be sure that the mental pulses produced by the mental pulse generator are not directional, otherwise he should have felt the impact of the mental pulses throughout the whole process.

Secondly, Chen Ming can see it through the video footage from the spacecraft’s camera.

When he discovered that the mechanical race was showing hostile behavior, he immediately chose to open fire and counterattack, and nearly half of the bullets fired by the machine gun hit the target.

Although almost all the bullets that hit the two combat machines were bounced off by the seemingly worn-out armor, they had no effect.

But the bullet that hit the telepathic pulse device at the back did destroy part of its casing.

Even though the damage seemed like it would be repaired immediately by the four-handed repair robot.

But as long as damage can be caused, it means that Chen Ming does not have to kill the mechanical people first before he can get rid of the mind pulse device.

And Chen Ming's goal from the beginning was not to kill the mechanical race, but to destroy the mind pulse equipment so that his hunting could continue.

However, even if Chen Ming's target is not the mechanical clan, the difficulty is reduced.

Chen Ming also at least thickened the armor of the spacecraft to the extent that the large electromagnetic weapons could not penetrate it, so that the spacecraft could hold out in the hands of the two mechanical creatures until the moment when the equipment was destroyed.

Chen Ming opened the panel of the spacecraft's armor.

The transformation interface opens.

There are four transformation options shown above.

[Heavy Armor], [Explosive Reactive Armor], [Multi-layer Buffer Armor], and [Armor Material Change].

If you want to deal with the mechanical race's weapons with exaggerated penetrating power, [Heavy Armor] or [Armor Material Change] is obviously very suitable.

However, Chen Ming cannot get any material stronger than aluminum-steel composite material at the moment.

Therefore, he can only choose [Heavy Armor] among these two options.

This is the simplest and crudest way to thicken and weight the spacecraft armor.

At the expense of a certain degree of maneuverability of the spacecraft, it gains more powerful defensive capabilities.

But after selecting the transformation option, another problem arose before Chen Ming.

The amount of materials needed to modify the spacecraft armor is very large, and is completely not on the same order of magnitude as the materials needed to modify the previous pistol.

However, half a month has passed since Chen Ming landed on the planet from space, and most of the metal resources collected at that time have been consumed in transformation and maintenance.

There is not enough material in the storage chamber, and it will take some time even if we take off again to the asteroid belt to collect it.

However, Chen Ming immediately thought of a compromise.

That is to take advantage of the spacecraft you have at hand.

Chen Ming had seen the three mechanical machines clearly before. They had no components such as wings or jet packs, which meant that they were confined to the ground.

The spaceship can fly as long as its attitude is adjusted so that only the bottom of the spaceship is facing the mechanical people.

Then Chen Ming only needs to strengthen one side of the bottom armor.

It can save a lot of time in obtaining materials for transformation.

In this way, the time cost spent on mining is acceptable to Chen Ming.

But there is another problem facing Chen Ming.

I will go into space to obtain enough materials needed for transformation at one time and then land.

Or they choose to take time out from their daily work, such as at night, to go to space and collect minerals from the asteroid rings.

Chen Ming was thinking.

My highest priority has always been to get enough food.

Collecting all the ore in space at once is indeed faster than solving the two tasks of spacecraft armor modification and destroying the mind pulse equipment.

But this also means that Chen Ming will be completely unable to hunt in the next few days, and the second batch of crops he just planted will be wasted due to lack of care.

I can’t eat the guaranteed food.

So after careful consideration, Chen Ming still felt that it would be best to continue hunting during the day.

Even though the existence of mental pulses makes hunting very difficult, difficulty does not mean that it is completely impossible.

To be honest, as long as the next hunt can be successful one or two times, Chen Ming can completely ignore the farmland, the camp, the mechanical people and their mind pulse equipment and just run away.

Therefore, the most suitable mining method for Chen Ming is to continue hunting during the day and go into space at night to collect minerals relying on the spacecraft's automatic mining function.

Moreover, the spacecraft stayed on the ground at night mainly to rely on the spacecraft's cameras to protect farmland at night.

Now half a month has passed, and Chen Ming has already completely reinforced the fence and set up a large number of traps outside the fence.

It is basically unlikely that farmland would be damaged by animals in the middle of the night.

Therefore, launching the spacecraft at night is a good option to allow the spacecraft to fully exert its full potential.

The only drawback to this approach is that the repeated entry and exit of the spacecraft into the atmosphere will significantly increase fuel demand.

Chen Ming didn't want to worry about fuel issues at this time. If he ran out of fuel, he could just go to the space station to get more. There was plenty of fuel in the space station.

Having considered almost all the issues that needed to be considered, Chen Ming turned his attention back to the present.

In fact, my first attempt should be considered a success.

We knew about the situation of the mechanical race and their equipment, and also knew that the armor of the spacecraft could not withstand a shot from the mechanical race's large electromagnetic weapons.

If I modify the spaceship myself, I will still be as embarrassed as I am now when I come next time.

Then Chen Ming would decisively give up the idea of ​​causing trouble for the mechanical clan.

Choose a safer but slower way to get food, and then make plans.

The spacecraft returned to the temporary camp shortly afterwards.

After repairing the damage to the spacecraft, Chen Ming continued his daily work, farming and hunting.

Anyway, Chen Ming has experienced the mind pulse personally and knows very well that the impact of the mind pulse on people is not too exaggerated.

The mind pulse generator that I cannot deal with for the time being should not have any fatal effect on me at least in the short term.

And after experiencing a mental pulse, Xiaoshi seemed to recover from his anxiety much faster.

As long as you can survive these few days, you won't have to suffer from Mind Pulse anymore.

The daytime passed quickly.

Before night fell, Chen Ming controlled the spacecraft and returned to space again.

Near the still dilapidated abandoned mining space station, the highest priority for mining is set to the most common iron ore.

Chen Ming then activated the spacecraft's automatic collection function.
