Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 299 - 176: The 21 Light-Year Diameter Asteroid Belt



```

Arriving at the innermost part of the secret repository, Song Chi’s gaze never left the stone platform.

If he was seeing correctly, the resources piled on this platform were exactly the titanium crystals he was currently in desperate need of.

After strengthening the [Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] components, he had less than 120 titanium crystals left. Although he could acquire another 50 from the Ruins Market transactions the next day, it was still far from enough.

Not to mention others, just the enhancement of the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon] and [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] each required more than thirty titanium crystals to begin with. This meager amount of titanium crystals wouldn’t support several enhancements.

Come to think of it, how long had it been since these two components were enhanced to lv30? It seemed almost half a year now.

During this long period, neither had been enhanced even once.

Was it because he was unwilling to continue enhancing them?

Of course not, it was because he lacked both titanium crystals and the Third Rank Floating Land Origin.

If what he saw before him were indeed titanium crystals, then this would be like delivering coal in snowy weather.

He picked up a luminous crystal from the stone platform and carefully examined it.

A few seconds later, Song Chi turned his head with a joyful expression and asked Tuogu Hong:

"Where did you obtain this ore from? Is there any more?"

After careful identification, he was certain that the resources on this platform were titanium crystals, a strategic resource of the Torch Human Civilization.

However, after counting them, the titanium crystals on the platform weren’t many.

There were just over 500, no more than 520.

Adding it to what was left in his possession before, he had exactly 630 titanium crystals.

Hearing his question, Tuogu Hong immediately replied, but the answer made Song Chi sigh.

According to him, these titanium crystals were also left by the ancestors of the Tuogu Tribe.

It seemed that hundreds of years ago, they accidentally discovered a Titanium Crystal Vein. Realizing that this resource was quite extraordinary, even though they did not know its specific use, the elders of the Tuogu Tribe still stored it in the secret repository, preserving it until today.

The only issue was that the vein they had found back then was a remnant deposit, just like the one discovered around Huanbai Tower’s Fragment Belt. However, it produced even fewer titanium crystals, just over 600.

For hundreds of years, the weapon smiths of the Tuogu Tribe had been trying to explore the functions of titanium crystals, taking some sporadically, so in the end only this much was left.

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Song Chi turned back, his face regaining the joyful expression.

Regardless, the unexpected acquisition of more than 500 titanium crystals was definitely a pleasant surprise and certainly nothing to be disappointed about.

With a light wave of his hand, the tool-person Zhao Lei appeared out of nowhere. Following Song Chi’s commands, Zhao Lei activated his mana to open the storage bag at his waist. Within a few minutes, all sorts of resources within the entire secret repository were collected into the storage bag, to Tuogu Hong’s amazement.

...

Above the Tuogu Tribe’s territory, the Cang Qiong soared out, quickly vanishing into the sky.

As time passed, every region of the Blue Blood Floating Continent bore the marks of the Cang Qiong’s presence, yet Song Chi didn’t rush to leave the Floating Land.

After all, it was a Second Rank Floating Land. Even though its Blue Blood Clan had been wiped out, the remaining value of the Floating Land was not insignificant.

For example, the various potential mineral resources, rare biological resources, and the Floating Land Origin Core deep underground, all held considerable value.

At the moment, what Cang Qiong was detecting were the mineral resources of this Blue Blood Floating Continent. Since a Titanium Crystal Vein had previously been present, Song Chi still held great expectations.

As for biological resources, so far, Song Chi hadn’t found any high-potential creatures worth focusing on besides Tuogu Hong.

And the Floating Land Origin Core? It’s the key that absorbs external cosmic energy and autonomously cycles to derive the Floating Land Origin; it’s the most valuable part of a Floating Land Origin. However, this is not something he could currently covet.

Except for the Origin Core Fusion Bodies that had not fully evolved, all fully-formed Origin Cores are completely fused with their Floating Lands.

Separating them from the Floating Land itself is tremendously difficult; it requires a High Rank creature much higher than the level of the Floating Land itself to take action.

To extract the Origin Core of a Second Rank Floating Land, at least a Fourth Rank Torch Ship Captain would need to intervene using special methods to detach and take it away.

In the Cangqiong Main Control Room, Song Chi delegated the task of reviewing the various energy wave fluctuations encountered along the way to the semi-automatic shipboard AI, while he himself controlled the warship, with a divided spiritual focus on several shipboard components.

Having recently acquired more than 500 titanium crystals, 1400 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, and 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, it was natural to proceed with a new round of enhancement for Cangqiong.

This time, he didn’t overlook the several orange and red components on the warship. His gaze shifted among these four components for a moment, finally settling on the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon].

The [Enslavement Medal] didn’t need much discussion; unless he could enhance it to Fourth Rank in one go, there was no point in considering it for now, given the limited benefits.

The [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] was dismissed for the time being because it was ineffective against the Divine Soul Type attacks of the Soul Spirit Clan.

As for the [Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine Tree], it was simply adequate for now. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But speaking of the [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon], this main cannon was currently at lv30, and when facing ordinary Third Rank creatures, its damage was beyond question—basically, two shots would do the job. However, during the previous attack on the nearly Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin Rule-boosted Third Rank Chimera, it was obviously somewhat lacking in firepower.

Song Chi could understand; although it was an orange quality main cannon, after all, it was merely enhanced to lv30, just barely stepping into the Third Rank threshold, while each of those Third Rank Chimeras was bolstered by nearly Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin Rules, each with a combat power exceeding the peak of the Third Rank.
