After Chen Ming counted the harvest through the panel, he found that tonight's harvest probably met one-fifth of the materials needed to transform the armor.
If he could maintain this level of efficiency every day, Chen Ming would even want to change his plan.
Go directly to high-density areas and spend a day collecting.
However, Chen Ming thought about it carefully and gave up.
The main material required for transformation is steel, which requires collecting iron ore, which has the highest content and is the most common in asteroids.
Even if you go to a high-density area, the amount you get each time you collect will not increase, and may even decrease due to the presence of other minerals.
At most, it would save some time for the spacecraft to move, but this slight difference in time was not worth Chen Ming's time spent on farming and hunting.
Just continue to follow the original plan.
When the sky just started to brighten over the temporary camp.
The spaceship landed in the camp again.
The first thing Chen Ming noticed after the spaceship landed was that the bull he had tied up outside the camp seemed to have died last night.
Only a corpse with extremely severe decay remained there.
The cause of death did not seem to be starvation or serious injuries, but rather sudden death caused by high-intensity activities of the mind and body for several consecutive days.
This is what happens to most animals that go mad.
The rotten corpse of the cow was of no value to Chen Ming.
So before starting work, Chen Ming cleared the plants around the bull and burned the corpse clean with fire.
Continue to start repetitive and boring work every day.
Four days to collect materials for modifying armor is neither long nor short.
It passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Chen Ming could clearly notice many changes around the temporary camp.
It seemed that his previous behavior had irritated the mechanical race. Although the mental pulses were not directed at him, they appeared more and more frequently.
As a result, the number of animals around is decreasing rapidly, and hunting has become almost impossible.
Even if Chen Ming was lucky enough to encounter an animal that had not been affected by the mental pulse.
The next moment, the mechanical race's mental pulses might affect them, making Chen Ming's long search and several hours of waiting all in vain.
Although protected by the spaceship, Chen Ming will basically not be in any danger when encountering crazy animals.
But high-frequency mental pulses themselves are actually dangerous.
In recent days, Chen Ming has been feeling a little uncomfortable due to the frequent mental pulses, not to mention Xiao Shi.
If Chen Ming hadn't flown the spacecraft into space every night, Xiao Shi and himself would have been able to rest peacefully at night.
Chen Ming even felt that Xiao Shi might have gone crazy a long time ago.
Fortunately, the spacecraft had collected enough materials around the space station last night.
After impatiently completing the modification of the spacecraft's armor, Chen Ming could no longer wait.
He immediately took control of the spaceship and flew towards the direction of the mechanical clan's mind pulse device.
The fatigue caused by the large-scale transformation of the spacecraft armor was quickly suppressed after Chen Ming rested his energy in the previous few days.
Moreover, Chen Ming's heartbeat was gradually getting faster as the distance between the spacecraft and Ramu shortened.
It was just like when I first came here, with a mixture of fear and excitement about the unknown.
Before, it was against Ruimu Star, and this time, it was against the mechanical race.
It will take some time for the spacecraft to reach its target location.
In order to calm himself down, Chen Ming got up and went to the planting cabin.
The agricultural machinery components have harvested all the fruits, the excess vines have been stuffed into the nutrient solution extractor for recycling, and new seeds have been planted.
Just like the previous two batches of crops, all Chen Ming had to do was take the fruits to the cold storage room.
Chen Ming picked up several baskets of orange juice and prepared to leave.
But his footsteps suddenly stopped when he stepped out of the planting cabin.
Because at this moment, Chen Ming realized something.
Because I was worried about a food crisis on the road, I planned to prepare extra food before setting off.
But there is actually no need to prepare food on Ramu.
He could have stayed in orbit around the planet and grown the highly efficient orange fruit in the hydroponic chamber.
If there are problems with the cultivation of the orange fruit, such as degeneration of the variety, Chen Ming can land on Ramu as soon as possible to find the next batch of replacement crops.
The efficiency is a little low, but the safety factor is definitely the highest.
In other words, it was actually on the first day Chen Ming landed, after he found the seeds of the orange fruit.
If Chen Ming does not pursue efficiency at all, then waiting safely in space for crops to grow is actually the most stable approach.
Chen Ming turned his head and took a look at the hydroponic tank.
When Chen Ming looked away, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the porthole facing the captain's room at the other end of the corridor.
An abandoned mining space station is floating just outside.
So it seems that this cannot be said.
Even if the space station was occupied by bugs, the fact that no one had paid attention to it for the past thirty years definitely shows that there are big problems behind the space station and even the entire galaxy.
The longer Chen Ming stays in the space station and near Ramu, the greater the possibility of an accident happening to him.
So it is still beneficial to collect the necessary food early and leave early.
Besides, Chen Ming didn’t just get food on the planet.
Xiaoshi, the hamster, is Chen Ming's biggest gain on the planet besides food.
Moreover, if Chen Ming can kill those mechanical races later, the mechanical races themselves can also become part of Chen Ming's harvest.
The large electromagnetic weapons on the right arms of the two mechanical bodies were powerful enough to penetrate the armor of Chen Ming's spaceship with one shot.
It can definitely be loaded onto the load-bearing point of the spacecraft after simple modification.
This is much more powerful than the civilian 22mm caliber machine gun.
You have to know that Chen Ming encountered countless dangers in the space station and Ramirez, two places that are completely invisible on the scale of the universe.
Chen Ming didn't dare to imagine how much trouble he would encounter in the next half light year of journey.
Therefore, for Chen Ming, powerful weapons are the best way to deal with danger.
So he would rather take a certain risk and find a way to obtain the weapons of the two combat machines.
At the expense of facing known dangers now, we gain the means to deal with unknown dangers in the future.
Chen Ming was happy to make such an exchange.
The heat-insulating armor outside the porthole of the captain's room gradually opened while Chen Ming was thinking, but was immediately closed by Chen Ming.
Because Chen Ming’s target location has appeared in his sight.
