Chapter 776: Chapter 380 Insect Star (5-in-1)_4

At this moment, the scanning device also issued an alert.

Ximu saw it and immediately reported with a nervous expression.

“It’s bad, Lord Simak.”

“What’s bad?”

Simak was instantly startled.

“Found a Federation ship, they’re surveying this planet.”

Ximu swallowed hard.

“Damn it, why so unlucky? This place should be unknown, how did we run into a Federation ship?”

“Sir, we’ve run into them, what do we do now?”

“What else can we do, hurry and retreat! We can’t possibly compete with the Federation!”

Simak said irritably.

“Yes!”

Ximu responded immediately.

….

The next afternoon.

On planet SWC-1, within a fractured ravine, David and others were using equipment for surveying.

The fierce wind ravaged, making it hard for Iron Head to stand steadily.

Su Yuan yawned and said to Su Ming in the communications channel.

“So dull, this mining survey isn’t just boring, no discoveries for half a day.”

“It’s normal.”

Su Ming replied calmly.

Just then, Su Ming saw David and the others starting to dismantle the equipment, so he adjusted the communications channel and asked.

“David, how’s the survey going?”

“Not ideal, so far only detected components of Level 2 ore·Refined Iron.”

David replied calmly.

“Level 2 ore, too poor.”

Su Ming said with furrowed brows.

“Right, I wonder if Group 2 has any results.”

David sighed and said.

At that moment, Irelia’s voice came through Su Ming and the others’ communications channel.

“Su Ming, any findings on your side?”

“Currently only found Level 2 Refined Iron components.”

Su Ming answered truthfully.

Irelia was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

“Withdraw from the planet and return to the ship, we’ll survey other planets.”

“Okay!”

Su Ming responded immediately.

“Great, finally we can leave here.”

Su Yuan stretched and yawned, saying.

Su Ming then said to David.

“Let’s withdraw, survey other planets.”

“Okay!”

David didn’t say much more.

They immediately flew full speed towards the survey cabin.

On the way, Su Yuan sighed and said.

“When we first arrived, we were full of confidence, but after half a day, only found Level 2 ore, why is it so hard to mine? I don’t understand, our equipment is so good, personnel so elite, how come we can’t find high-level ore, is it really bad luck?”

“Officer Su Yuan, you might have misunderstood. Mining survey is just like this. It’s impossible to find high-level ore right away, it’s a long process, but we are under tight time constraints. Normally, if it were regular mining, since we’ve detected Level 2 Refined Iron, we’d definitely stay and explore slowly.”

David explained to Su Yuan.

“Explore slowly? What’s there to explore? Haven’t you surveyed enough?”

Su Yuan replied dazedly.

“You might not know, now it’s just preliminary surveying. Normally, operations on such planets require staying for a year.”

David explained with a smile.

Upon hearing David’s words, Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly.

“A year? So long?”

“Not long, this amount of time means little to us surveyors. In this line of work, patience is a must, especially when surveying high-level ore, it takes even more effort and time. To be frank, many surveyors might not find high-level ore their entire life.”

David explained to Su Ming and the others.

“Ahem, I finally understand why high-level ore is so expensive, it truly is worth its weight.”

Su Ming said helplessly.

….

Soon after, Su Ming and the others returned to the Light Shuttle.

Level 5 Battleship·Light Shuttle then headed off into the distance.

—————————————

Five days later.

In the Light Shuttle·Central Control Room.

Su Ming and the others sat around a simple meeting table.

Zhou Mu and the others sighed, over the past days they surveyed many planets, none of which were promising, not even finding Level 3 ore.

“I feel like we’re doomed, don’t even mention finding Eternal Metal, Titanium Tantalum Ore, we can’t even find Vibranium.”

Su Yuan sighed deeply and said.

Irelia also spoke with some difficulty.

“Everyone, don’t lose heart, this area of the Star Sea hasn’t been mined before, there should be high-level resources. The only problem now is the limited time we have, we can’t survey slowly, we have to find a way to precisely locate a High-level Ore Star.”

“We understand the reasoning, but there’s no way to precisely pinpoint!”

Zhou Mu replied, troubled.

At this moment, Little Grey emerged from Su Ming’s pocket, jumping onto Lin Chuyu.

Lin Chuyu immediately held it.

Little Grey then raised its head and rubbed against her.

Su Ming saw it, feeling a bit helpless, but didn’t bother it.

Then Little Grey jumped onto An Ruoxue.

An Ruoxue quietly held it, gently stroking its little head.

Little Grey showed an extremely contented face, then turned its head toward Irelia, quickly jumping onto her lap.

Irelia was suddenly startled, looking down at Little Grey.

Little Grey rubbed its little head against her, then lifted its big Caslon-like eyes and blinked at Irelia, adorably showing off.

Su Ming almost jumped out of his chair seeing this.

Su Yuan and the others were also taken aback, all looking at Little Grey.

“Little Grey, come back.”

Su Ming called out with a dark face.
