Chapter 1105: The Destroyed Power Stone Mine
- Whether or not they can find enough energy stone mines in the G21 star cluster to ensure future voyages has become the first major test that the Great Migration Force will face since its departure.
Judging from the fleet logs of the ancestors of the Mayan tribe back then, they also hurried through there back then, only some simple information, and there was no technical knowledge about power stones at that time, so they naturally had no idea whether there were energy stone mines there and how much they contained.
However, it is certain that there are indeed some terrestrial planets there, and the ships of the Mayan ancestors used to carry out some resource replenishment there, generally speaking, as long as the situation is not too bad, you can always find some power stone mines there, it is just a matter of how much.
After three days of rest, the Great Migration Force made another space jump.
A month later, after several space jumps, the Great Migration Force reached the G21 cluster and flew over one of its target planets, a terrestrial planet known as GM04.
This terrestrial planet is quite large, nearly ten times the size of the earth, and is an important target for the great migration force, according to the voyage log of that year, the ships of the ancestors of the Mayan tribe once stayed on this planet for a short time, and replenished some material energy.
This terrestrial planet has only a meager atmosphere and a small amount of water vapor, but it has not thrived and no signs of life have been found.
Immediately after the Great Migration Force flew to the planet, some of the exploration equipment immediately carried out intense work, and the most concerning was the situation of the planet's power stone mines. Of course, if some other valuable resources can be discovered. That's great, of course.
It didn't take long for the initial results to be sent back to the Nebula.
The surface layer of the earth's crust on the planet GM04. There are four energy stone mines that can be mined, there are three third-class energy stone mines, one of which has a medium-sized reserve scale, the other two reserves are small-scale, and there is also a second-class energy stone mine with a small reserve scale.
After getting the news, the general command thundered with joy, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After further comprehensive exploration of the planet has been carried out to confirm that there is no danger. A large number of mining ships sailed out of the planet to land and mine the power stone mines on the planet.
Mining ships descended on the surface of the planet, and engineering trucks drove out of the dock to start their busy operations.
The whole work was busy and orderly, everything was in order, and nothing went wrong.
The work of collecting ore is relatively simple, and the main workload. Or the follow-up refining work.
In addition to this GM04 planet, several other terrestrial planets nearby, the Great Migration Force also sent exploration spacecraft, and the results were also exciting. There are also more or less gemstone mines found there.
Then another group of mining ships flew out of the city to the planets where the mineral deposits were discovered, and carried out the mining work.
The Great Migration Force stayed here for two months to recuperate. A large amount of energy ore was transported into the ship's warehouse, and the refining of the ore was going on day and night.
Two months later. The Great Migration Force continued their journey, this time to the G07 system. There is an asteroid belt there, and when they get there, they will stay there for a long time in preparation for the arrival of the new star field on the Mayan star map, which is the destination of the Great Migration Force, and the place where the Mayan fleet arrived back then, was named the Utopian Star Field.
Two months later, the Great Migration Force arrived at their intended destination, the G07 system, which was very close to the final destination of the Great Migration Force, the Utopian Field.
The formation of the asteroid belt is often accompanied by a complex cosmic environment, in which a large number of resource planets are often distributed, which is a very ideal supply point for interstellar fleets.
However, the planets in the asteroid belt are very small, and it is difficult for planets that are too small to be formed by energy stones.
The ships of the ancestors of the Mayan tribe also stayed here for a long time, and the exploration data of this asteroid belt is also relatively detailed and rich.
"Report to Commander Jiang, now the Great Migration Force has arrived over the planet GS317 and entered the planet's synchronous orbit......"
On the Nebula, on the large screen in the command hall, a clear picture of an asteroid hanging in the void appeared, and the ugly surface of the planet was also faintly visible.
According to the introduction on the Mayan star chart, the planet numbered GS317 is almost the largest terrestrial planet in the entire asteroid belt, but it is only one-third the size of the moon.
Once on the planet, the usual series of explorations began.
In addition, batches of exploration spacecraft have also been sent out to conduct large-scale exploration of surrounding asteroids.
Jiang Ping stood in front of the large screen in the command hall of the Nebula, paying close attention to the movements of the fleet, issuing orders one after another, and waiting for the preliminary results of the preliminary detection of the planet GS317, which is only one-third of the volume of the Moon.
It didn't make him wait long before a preliminary exploration report came out, the asteroid has no atmosphere, no life, some common metal deposits, and some rare mineral deposits have bands to continue exploration.
What makes Jiang Ping pay attention to and be interested is whether there is a power stone mine on this planet. Of course, it would be best if there was, and if not, it would not be unacceptable, after all, this is only an asteroid, and it is not too surprising that there is no power stone mine.
But the report still surprised him.
It is not that the exploration report found that this planet is rich in energy stone mines, which is unexpected, and it is not that there are no energy stone mines, in the report, the exploration shows that in the surface of the crust of the planet below, two tertiary energy stone mines that can be mined have indeed been found, and the reserve scale is estimated to be small.
However, the detection showed that the two gemstone mines had been damaged and had no mining value.
This news immediately aroused Jiang Ping's great attention. There are two reasons why a power stone mine is destroyed, one is a natural disaster, and the other is a man-made disaster, so which kind of situation does the following situation belong to now?
Because of some crustal movements, the ore veins are damaged, and the energy in them is exposed, resulting in the destruction of the energy stone mine, which is possible, this is a natural disaster.
Man-made disasters are man-made digging and digging, resulting in the destruction of ore veins.
However, this is a silent planet with no life, and there are no other civilizations, so the possibility of such man-made destruction can be ruled out.
Of course, this is not necessarily the case. Jiang Ping remembered that the fleets of the ancestors of the Mayan tribe had stayed here and carried out some resource development, if they happened to dig these two energy stone mines when they were mining resources here, destroying the ore veins here, resulting in energy leakage and mineral deposit destruction, this is also possible.
Of course, the specific situation will require further investigation of the site before a decision can be made.
Jiang Ping did not dare to ignore this, and immediately issued an order, and then several small flying saucers flew out of the city, and took several geological and mineral engineers to the site where the energy stone mine was discovered for further detailed on-site investigation.
Several flying saucers flew over the two power stone mines, circling around the mines. Judging from the pictures transmitted from the scene, there are huge pits at the site of the two energy stone mines, and there are many obvious traces of excavation.
It is almost certain that the energy stone ore here has been excavated, leaving only the remnants of low-concentration waste ore of little value.
After getting this result, Jiang Ping was very surprised, these two energy stone mines turned out to be waste mines that had been left by human mining!
This news cannot but be a little disturbing.
Several miners at the site requested a landing and further detailed investigation of the site, such as further determining the time when the mine was mined, but their request was rejected by Jiang Ping, and after collecting some preliminary evidence, they returned as ordered.
Jiang Ping did not let them land, first, because he was worried that there might be dangerous factors on the ground before the matter was clarified, and secondly, because there were not enough protective measures, and he was worried that the scene would be damaged and some valuable clues would be lost.
These two gems were excavated and destroyed, and the results of this survey undoubtedly indicate that other civilizations have once arrived here and excavated the gemstone mines.
This news is shocking enough, if it is true, it has to arouse the vigilance and attention of the Great Migration Force, after all, the discovery of traces of other civilizations in the vicinity is a major event related to the safety of the entire Great Migration Force.
Of course, the matter may not have reached this point yet, and there is also a possibility that these two power stone mines were excavated and destroyed by the fleets of the ancestors of the Mayan tribe.
The fleets of the Mayan ancestors visited the area and stayed for a long time, and it is likely that some mining work was carried out, so this speculation is completely valid.
Although the fleets of the ancestors of the Mayan tribe did not have the skills to detect power stones, and they did not know what the power stones were, it is also possible that these power stone mines were accompanied by other important and valuable mineral deposits, and in order to mine these important and valuable mineral deposits, they also mined these power stone ores.
This is possible, and the conclusion can only be drawn by a detailed understanding of the activities of the fleets of the Mayan ancestors here.
"Go and invite Naren Toya and other seniors!"
Jiang Ping immediately ordered, and Fujiwara Masami, the secretary standing next to him, agreed, turned around and hurried away. (To be continued......)
