Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 593: Chapter 184 Exploration Process_4

This week, nothing significant has happened; the Insect Queen is still in its cocoon.

Meanwhile, Brilliant has been commanding Dusk individuals to expand the exploration range to over two hundred light-years.

At this distance, the Superspace Channels have been almost entirely blocked by Superspace clouds.

Chen Ming needs to first clear the way to allow other small ships to enter the Star System for investigation.

It’s not really troublesome; just a quick tour around.

However, the pioneering itself is still as monotonous as usual.

But starting from here, the number of valuable Star Systems discovered by the Dusk individuals is rapidly increasing.

In fact, Chen Ming even found Sky Steel Ore in one of the Star Systems.

Although no definite traces of Altrulan sky eel have been found, the presence of Sky Steel Ore already proves that sky eels once lived in this Star System.

They may have just gone to other Star Systems.

So at that time, Chen Ming instructed Brilliant to intensify the exploration of several surrounding Star Systems, but no traces of sky eels have been found yet.

However, apart from the sky eels, there are still other planets worth Chen Ming’s attention.

For example, two planets with advanced resources, and a dozen resource planets of various scales that can be easily developed.

These planets, like the previous ones, have been assigned by Chen Ming with some Dusk individuals to develop resources.

There should still be more Star Systems waiting for Chen Ming to do the same.

So much so that Chen Ming is considering whether he needs to recall some Dusk individuals temporarily stationed on lesser-value planets and move them to other planets.

Although it’s not necessary for now, as Chen Ming continues to pioneer, warp to the next location, and further expand the exploration range.

There will come a day when the Dusk Chen Ming has on hand will be exhausted.

He always needs to keep some in reserve.

However, when Chen Ming mentioned this to Brilliant,

Brilliant didn’t speak directly, but its three minutes of silence made Chen Ming suddenly feel he might have impulsively raised a meaningless question.

Overall, that’s the situation with exploration.

And in terms of learning.

According to the previous plans of Extraordinary, Chen Ming has already mastered some biological technologies related to the Insect Race by following a single tech tree.

This is precisely the technology for manufacturing Insect Glue noted by Extraordinary earlier.

As for another rapid biomass coagulation technology, after the Insect Queen devoured the Energy Crystal Crab and produced the Insect Race’s own Energy Crystals, Chen Ming no longer needed to learn it.

The biomass congealed blocks were entirely replaced by Energy Crystals.

Chen Ming just needed to learn the technology about Energy Crystals he had previously stolen from Dusk related to the Energy Crystal Crab, and through the Insect Queen’s body, he can directly manufacture what’s needed.

In fact, to a certain extent, the Energy Crystals also replaced the function of Insect Glue.

After all, with Energy Crystals in each Insect Race body, activity time significantly extended, and the importance of Insect Glue has definitely been reduced.

However, as a nutritional supplement for ordinary Insect Race, Insect Glue is still needed during prolonged battles, so Chen Ming continued to study it.

Moreover, using the body fragments knocked off from the lifeless shell left by the Insect Queen, Chen Ming can directly manufacture Insect Glue nearby.

This gel-like bright green food truthfully looks incredibly appetizing to Chen Ming.

Normally it seems odorless, but once you pierce the gel’s surface, a unique aroma starts to leak out.

Just like the one Chen Ming has just crafted in his hand right now.

Chen Ming always carries a bit of Insect Queen’s body tissue, specifically made into a wristband worn on his left hand, like patches of black scales covering his wrist.

This allows him to indirectly modify through this body tissue whenever necessary to produce some insect-related items he needs and also helps him test his mastery of Insect Race biotechnology.

Just earlier when Chen Ming was recording the past week’s events with one hand,

His other hand instinctively applied it directly.

With a slip of the hand, Insect Glue was made, and without noticing, he accidentally pinched a bit of the surface skin.

Gazing at the Insect Glue in his hand emitting a unique fragrance, Chen Ming suddenly swallowed.
