Basically, the appearance of the furnace ding gave cultivators a chance to correct themselves and improve themselves. Everyone can choose their own spirit beast as the furnace according to their own needs. This is undoubtedly a great blessing for some cultivators.
However, the process of becoming the furnace was not all smooth sailing. It's not that if you want any demon beast, you can become the master of any demon beast. There are a lot of tricks in there. To put it simply, it's two words: fate. There must be fate between the master and the furnace in order to receive success. Otherwise, the entire starry sky world would be cultivators who cultivated Dao Heart Cultivation Demons.
In fact, judging from the current starry sky world, the future of Dao Heart Demon ** is not optimistic. It seems that I haven't heard of any master who is from cultivating Dao Heart Demon **. High-level cultivators regard the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation ** more as an auxiliary means. Low-level cultivators, very few people choose to cultivate Dao Heart Cultivation Demons.
Compared with the cultivation of martial arts such as the Yijin Sutra, the future of Dao Heart Demon Cultivation ** is indeed relatively slim. If it weren't for very special needs, or if it was a strong hobby, ordinary cultivators would not choose Dao Heart Demon Cultivation. This is also the reason why the number of insect trapping teams that can be made up within the military base in Myanluo is actually not too much.
Xia Xingxiao asked, "Does this sandworm larva have any special skills?"
Li Yuji said briefly: "Just two." The first, the energy ball. The second is prospecting. β
He further explained in detail that the special ability of the sandworm is, first of all, that it can launch energy balls. This is the Sandworm's most powerful attack skill. However, the sandworm larvae are temporarily unable to spray energy balls, and must grow to level 10 before they can do so. The sandworms they had seen in the starry sky before were all adult sandworms above level ten.
If it is those sandworms that are so strong that they explode, with one mouth and one energy ball launched, even a cruiser will not be able to resist it. In previous Star Wars, there were even instances of super battleships (Star Destroyers) being destroyed by sandworms directly swallowing energy balls. Of course, sandworms that are so strong are definitely rare.
In fact, if those super big sandworms had been dispatched in the previous battle, it is estimated that Ai Ye Xing would have been destroyed a long time ago. In front of those big sandworms above the twenty-second level, the super battleships of the human race are not enough to see. At that level, only cultivators of similar rank had the ability to destroy them.
The length of the 22nd level of the giant sandworm alone is more than 200,000 kilometers. The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is only 380,000 kilometers. One can imagine how perverted such a big guy is. However, in the starry sky world, which is often calculated in light years, it is nothing.
What is a light year? That's a super-scary unit of distance. It is the journey that light has traveled in the course of a year. The speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second. How many seconds are there in a year? More than 30 million seconds! In other words, a distance of one light year can hold more than 50 million large sandworms of grade 22. Obviously, the number of super large sandworms cannot be so large. Even if the word "10,000" is removed, there are not so many.
In fact, those super big sandworms are usually hidden in the deepest part of the Alxa Gobi Desert. As long as no one is attacking them, they won't be easy to attack. Otherwise, the Star Glory Federation, which is on the periphery of the Alxa Gobi Desert, will not have such a good time. If a super big sandworm appears, the entire Star Federation will have to jump with chickens and dogs.
Xia Xingxiao asked curiously, "Those super big sandworms, are they really that powerful?"
Li Yuji nodded and said, "Otherwise, how can you think that the huge Alxa Gobi Desert is full of mineral deposits, and there is not even a single pit?"
Xia Xingxiao nodded thoughtfully. When Li Yuji said this, he really understood a little. Indeed, the mineral deposits in the Alxa Gobi Desert are unimaginable to outsiders. In particular, vanadium-lead ore, vanadium-copper ore, molybdenite, bismuth ore and other reserves are very rich. And these mineral deposits are all needed in large quantities for various energy weapons.
Now, the various forces in the starry sky world have already entered a white-hot state of competition for mineral deposits. Both humans and non-humans, both highly intelligent and non-sapient beings, are looking around for minerals that are useful to them. If it weren't for this, Xia Qianfeng's Chaduo Mi Ore Trading Company would not be so profitable.
Basically, it can be thought that the minerals of the starry sky world are equivalent to the oil of the ancient earth era, and the importance of the status is self-evident. Regional conflicts over minerals, and even starry sky wars, are not uncommon. The root cause of many starry sky wars is the contention for minerals. And the stock of minerals also has a very profound impact on the war.
Whether it is a battleship, a warplane, or a mecha, a large number of energy crystals are needed. These energy crystals are divided into three types: t, z, and x. Among them, the T series are all weapon-type energy crystals, which are very destructive. The Z series is a military energy crystal, which is an indispensable fuel for space jumps on space warships. As for the X series, it is the most common civilian energy crystal.
Among these three types of energy crystals, the most scarce and valuable ones are naturally the energy crystals of the T series. All kinds of cannons, missiles, torpedoes, and bombs of battleships all require a large number of T-series energy crystals. Similarly, the weapons of fighters and mechs also require a large number of T-series energy crystals. If the energy crystal is gone, it means that the gun has no bullets and has become a burning stick. No, it's not as good as burning a fire stick, you can only wait for death in vain.
Galena, vanadium-potassium uranium, vanadium-calcium uranium, arsenic-cobaltite, copper-uranium mica and other minerals contained in the Alxa Gobi Desert can all refine high-purity T series energy crystals, so the minerals here are absolutely eye-catching. If someone can mine minerals here, it is impossible not to get rich overnight. The minerals they excavate will definitely be snatched up. It's a pity that due to the presence of terrible sandworms, humans have to be discouraged.
In the past few epochs, there have been human armies trying to control the Alxa Gobi Desert and control the minerals here. But in the end, without exception, they suffered a fiasco. The Sand people attach great importance to all kinds of minerals in their territory and do not allow any mining. Their xenophobic surnames are also a headache. A disagreement is the result of a war. Therefore, even the sand pirates themselves do not dare to exploit the minerals of the Alxa Gobi Desert without permission.
Li Yuji continued: "Adult sandworms, although they are powerful, but they need to absorb a large amount of star power in the middle, and they will definitely not be able to grow without a thousand or hundreds of years...... The big sandworms we see now have grown up after a long time. They live much longer than we humans. β
The implication is to remind Xia Xingxiao that it is impossible to expect the sandworm larvae to grow up and spit out the energy balls that will destroy the Star Destroyer. You don't have that long lifespan. Perhaps, by the time you grow old and die, the sandworm has not grown to level 10 or above.
As for the level 20 and above, it is even more of a fool's dream. It takes at least a thousand years for a sandworm to grow to level 20 or above. It has to be smooth sailing in the middle, and there are no surprises. If there is something long and two short halfway, everything will be in vain.
However, Xia Xingxiao didn't care much about this. His head is relatively simple. He felt that he was strong enough, and it didn't matter if he wanted a sandworm as a helper or not. To put it simply, it is two sentences: yes, yes. No, and it doesn't matter much. However, since it can be used, don't waste the opportunity, take it and talk about it.
Frankly speaking, among the thirty-three internal skills he has learned, it is estimated that he will be ranked in the bottom five, and he usually doesn't need it at all. Since you can't use it, there's no need to worry about it. The sandworm is a sandworm, it's not a big deal, and I don't expect it to eat. Just take a look at the so-called furnace ding, what is the wonders of it.
Xia Xingxiao suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you said that sandworms can mine......
Li Yuji said: "It's not mining, it's prospecting. Sandworms have an innate sense for all kinds of mineral deposits. They make it easy to find what you need. The premise, of course, is that the mineral deposit must be within the range of what it can feel. β
Xia Xingxiao said curiously: "How big is this sensing range?"
Li Yuji shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't studied it carefully." I vaguely remember that the prospecting radius of the sandworm is the same as the length of their body. It must be that with the enhancement of the ability of the sandworm, the range continues to expand. Sandworm larval prospecting may not have any results, but adult sandworm prospecting is very powerful. β
"In fact, the minerals of the various planets in the Alxa Gobi Desert are all found by the sandworms themselves. In any place in the other starry world, the distribution and reserves of minerals are not as detailed as the Alxa Gobi Desert. It's a pity that the sandworms there have found out the minerals, but they don't mine them for anyone. It's just suffocating you. β
Xia Xingxiao thought to himself, the first-level sandworm larvae are only twenty meters long. In other words, their prospecting range is only 20 meters. To be honest, a sensing range with a radius of twenty meters is really useless. If you think about it, a radius of 20 meters is a lot of distance? What kind of minerals can be stored in such a close distance? However, when you think about it later, this distance can be evolved, and maybe the distance will increase greatly in the future.
The tenth-level sandworm has reached adulthood, and its body length has increased to twenty kilometers. This means that its prospecting radius has also reached 20 kilometers. With a radius of 20 kilometers, you should be able to explore some hidden minerals.
Besides, this sandworm can burrow. Although it only has a detection radius of 20 meters, it drills everywhere, and if it drills into the minerals it needs, it will naturally find the location of the ore veins. Of course, it takes a little bit of luck to do so.
