The Legendary Mechanic

In the face of overwhelming power, no matter what the Pangurid Pokémon thinks or does, it cannot interfere with the fleet's exploitation of resources.

Interstellar mining equipment is very efficient, with each resource point around the globe producing a variety of raw materials, and a batch of minerals filled with a warehouse with considerable daily returns.

During the mining process, some exploration units discovered additional resources deep beneath the ground, allowing the planet's valuation to rise again.

Han Xiao looked at the report and felt comfortable.

Exploiting those civilized resource planets in shattered rings, while profitable, is, after all, a dividend on someone else's territory, some bundled and not free enough. And exploiting the planet of sparkling world resources that you discover can be a big banner, so long as it is not destructive, the Empire will not interfere.

These rare materials can be sold to the Empire or brought back for wholesale sale in broken rings. Han Xiao temporarily accumulates them and leaves professional marketers in charge of selling them and selling them as high as possible.

After the construction of the stargate, an Imperial Squad came across and greeted Han Xiao. He also joined the resource collection team, bringing in professionals to take over the indigenous upbringing.

After completing the simple handover, Han Xiao recovered some of his personnel.

Having completed his initial exploration of Pangurid, he decided to stay on the planet for two days, let the players move around and start exploring the next planet.

Now that all Legion players have explored the first planet, they have a certain understanding of the mechanisms that make the world mission shine, and players who encounter the resource planet face a choice, which is to have the option to stay and exploit the resources.

Ordinary players naturally refuse to give up the whole forest because of a tree, but Huaxia's many front-line guilds are the opposite, because most of the guilds' core backbones follow Han Xiao's main fleet, and Pan Gurid's vast resources make them reluctant to give up.

For the Guild, ten birds are in the forest, rather than one bird, they need a long-term resource point to provide revenue for the Guild. Huaxia's four great gates and many first-line Guild members have left a group of outsiders to exploit the resource point here.

Since the output of large-scale mining equipment belongs to the Legion, the Legion purchased a shipment of worker bee armor from the Legion, which was distributed to the remaining personnel for their own exploitation, and this was the long-term gain of the Legion.

Players have their own way of generating income, and Han Xiao will not stop it, which is just a little bit of a flie-headed profit, so that he does not prevent players from exercising their own subjective dynamics, the fuller these guilds are, the more they agree with the Legion.

Club Guild of Old Russia and Old Australia from the Constellation Corridor, this time has developed a group of peripherals, there are samples, and reluctantly separate people to stay at the resource point, thinking of splitting a spoon. The Four Major Gates meet, intend to wait for the big troops to leave before asking other front-line guilds to help find trouble with these outsiders, so that this group of foreign guilds cannot safely collect resources, so long as the big troops leave, the people who stay on this planet will be left to slaughter.

In previous life version 4.0, national societies destroyed each other's resource points in the sparkling world, and were not happy. Today, the Old Russian and Australian associations are at the headquarters of the Huaxia Guild. The Huaxia Guild will not sit and watch its competitors develop in peace.

Guild competition appeared earlier than in previous life because Han Xiao had let some players cross the stars ahead of time.

……

Pangurid star, a piece of sea.

Heavy winds and waves.

A mining base is situated at sea. In the tumbling ocean, the tattoos do not move. If the semi-circular energy shield disappears, it covers the entire base. It is thrilled to shoot on the shield, leaving a piece of foam behind.

At the edge of the base, a soldier wearing underwater work armor backed up with probing equipment and went into the water, some of which were players. Below this base is a melting vein, and these people went into the water to detect what was happening in this area.

Maple Moon also accepted the mission, and she was wearing underwater armor and cruising underwater, diving thousands of metres quickly.

The field of view is filled with dark blue sea water, which extends far away, turns dark, full of unknown fear, silence in the ears, only the dripping sound of radar detection, the sound of one's own breath, and the thumping heartbeat in the chest.

This atmosphere of silence and terror makes Maple Moon a little shaky and almost wants to shrink into a bunch.

“Let's go back... big deal not to do this task...” Maple Moon was scared that, although the fighting power reached level B, the character's attributes would not give the player any mood boost, just as scared, she felt she might have a slight deep sea phobia.

Preparing to float, the radar suddenly sounds an alarm.

“A large organism has been detected! Target approaching! ”

The seawater around her swelled up, Maple Moon's body was uncontrolled and flung with the waves. She hurried to turn on the stabilizer and the armored ribs sprayed white light, which stabilized her body.

Before she could look around, the radar showed that a light point was coming at her like a missile.

Maple Moon turned his head in panic, and suddenly, a giant monster suddenly appeared in sight, with countless fingernails, his head like a snake neck dragon, open its mouth to her blood basin.

Her eyes were dark and swallowed up.

After hunting, the monster slowed down and was preparing to enjoy the meal, and his huge body suddenly twitched and looked painful.

The next moment, the pungent blue light blew out of the monster and tore it apart.

Boom!!

Purple blood and crushed meat splattered across the sea, and Maple Moon's armor was covered in sticky liquid, mixed with blood and gastric juice.

Looking at this bloody scene, Maple Moon quickly opened the green health and freshness mode, which makes the picture feel much more harmonious.

She was just frightened and forgot to resist for a while. After she returned to God, it was easy to use the power of a Class B mechanic to kill an ordinary beast.

Maple Moon reclaimed the bomb turret around her, unable to stand the atmosphere of the deep sea, and was preparing to float. The radar suddenly prompted her to detect an unusual metal object, which was in the wrecked body of the monster.

“What did I find?” Maple Moon's eyes moved, and as a drama player, her curiosity was always strong and her intuition was that she might have discovered something hidden.

She hesitated for half a second and stopped floating, enduring the nausea of turning over the monster's body and releasing magnetism in her palms.

A metal creature, about a meter long, is adsorbed into your hands.

Looks like some kind of detection probe, shattered, full of corrosive traces, with several depressions on the surface, like bite marks of organisms.

[You found an unknown detector]

[UNKNOWN DEVELOPER: This seems to be the wreckage of some kind of space probe that has been severely damaged, and its technological content far exceeds that of the planet's indigenous people, and seems to come from other civilizations, perhaps with some information in it, you can try to identify it or give it to someone special in exchange for a reward… or you can try to repair it and activate it, which can lead to special consequences, choose carefully (mechanical system capability required)]

[You earn 6 Personal Exploration Points]

“This is a hidden task item! ”

Maple Moon's eyes sparkled, instantly throwing deep sea fear behind her head, repeatedly measuring the unknown detector in her hands, with interest, she liked to dig this unknown plot the most.

Without saying anything, she immediately returned to the base with props and did not even take off armor. In a hurry, she began to identify the detector. Her mechanical system capability met the requirements and the panel quickly popped up with the results.

[Identification completed! You get [Broken Positioning Beacon], this object employs technology such as spatial beacon positioning, remote quantum connection, gravitational space longitude, etc. Current status: severely damaged, system failure, all functions stop running]

“Technological level is not low.” The Maple Moon is amazed that this has reached the level of galactic civilization, which means that the Pangurid Star has been discovered by some civilization?

It is also possible that this beacon may have broken in the universe, lost its locating power, and was eventually captured by the gravitational forces of the Pangurid star, falling into the deep sea, swallowed up by marine creatures as food, or the Pangurid star might have had visitors long ago.

Maple Moon is caught up in a tangle. This beacon is valuable intelligence and is handed over to the Legion for processing. You will definitely get rewards.

However, she couldn't help but wonder (ZUO) what the "special consequences” in the prop introduction would be and who it would lead to.

After a moment of hesitation, Maple Moon bit his teeth and curiosity prevailed.

[You use [Intermediate Repair] for [Broken Locator Beacons]!]

[judgment in progress… judgment passed, your rank, intelligence, professional knowledge and skill level met the prerequisites]

[Repair progress 2% … 14% … 35% …]

[Finished fixing, you get [reluctantly repaired localization beacon]!]

Maple moon one happy, silent, choose to activate the beacon.

Didi... The beacon's indicator lights up and sends intangible quantum positioning data to the receiving end of an unknown force.

[You triggered Hidden Tasks [Unknown Beacon]!]

[Mission Profile: You discovered a high-tech positioning beacon on an indigenous planet in the sparkling world, and you don't know who put it, but you chose to repair and activate the beacon and send out the location information, which might lead to unknown forces...]

[Task Requirement: Access to unknown forces serving beacons]

[Task Reward: 300w Experience, 70 Personal Exploration Points, [Daring Explorer] Skill Piece x1 (2 Pieces to synthesize)]

[[Bold Explorer]: Special skill, when exploring unknown locations, identifying unknown behaviors, etc., you can use this skill to get inspiration, force some information, reuse a target for 7 days. Each time you use it, you gain a negative status [Reckless], reducing your Lucky Attributes by 60% for 14 days]

[Note: The universe is my home if you dare]

[This task is linked to the Flash World Main Line task and you can report to the main line task's camp for help from the NPC camp (highly recommended)]

“Reward Skill Piece? This kind of task reward is rare, and you can still ask the camp for help... does it mean that the consequences of activating the beacon are serious...” Maple Moon surprises.

When she thought about handing it over, she had the head of the regiment in her head.

……

“Did you find the beacon of advanced civilization on this planet? ”

Looking at the beacon in Maple Moon's hand, Han Xiao's eyes revealed confusion.

He thought Maple Moon was just here to learn skills. I didn't expect to bring him a hidden item.

At present, only the Empire develops the area, so this beacon could only come from an unknown indigenous civilization in the shining world, where, depending on the scientific and technological content, the pitcher should have a galactic level of development.

And this beacon adopts conventional propulsion and gravitational flight technology, and even if it flies for hundreds of years, the speed is limited, so the civilization in which the beacon is placed should be in this galaxy.

But Han Xiao remembers that there were no native galactic civilizations in the southern border galaxies of the Gaulu constellation in previous generations, that the Red Empire's exploration data did not show that there had been galactic civilizations encountered here, and that he had not heard of similar events in previous generations from NPC mouths explored during the update.

Is it true that the civilization in which the beacons were placed has been destroyed and now there are only remnants? This possibility is not without.

But Han Xiao grabbed the beacon from Maple Moon, and his panel popped up prompts, triggering this hidden task as well, which implicitly indicates that this unknown force still exists.

Han Xiao's mind moved. Early exploration of the sparkling world in previous generations was during the update of the version. The player later restored the exploration through various data records and characters. Perhaps this encounter is a hidden plot not even discovered by the Empire in previous generations?

Maple Moon doesn't know that Han Xiao can accept the task, and is thinking about how to explain the information he knows beacons are useful.

That's when Han Xiao said:

“This thing gave me a while to study, and I might be able to spot some problems. ”

I heard that Maple Moon didn't refuse because she thought it was handing over the mission props.

When he saw Maple Moon leave, Han Xiao carefully studied the beacon in his hand and his eyes flashed.

“I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected discovery on Pangured Star that this group of players can still rely on their ability to find hidden tasks.” Han Xiao smiled.

The reward for this hidden task moved him. [Bold Explorer] is an appraisal ability that reaches the category of special predictions, which few players in previous life possessed. Although not helpful in battle, it is a magic trick to do tasks and discover hidden plots.

Only know that there is a chance to get Skill Shards by triggering Hidden Tasks, otherwise there are no fixed access channels.

Although the skills are very limited, they are also useful to me, not to mention the strange set of data left behind by the infidels. So far, there is no clue, and Iso can't predict any images. If he acquires the skills of this professional counterpart, he may get some clues.

“Unfortunately, it's not a complete skill, there's only one skill fragment.” Han Xiaoliu lamented.

Shaking his head, Han Xiao then entered the quantum network field of view, studied the beacon, and deciphered the other party's location data encoding - a beacon that employs quantum linking technology, which means he can use the ability of a virtual mechanic to reverse track.

The task is to come into contact with this unknown force. It looks like all you have to do is watch the rabbit, but there is another machine.

Unlike the explored universe, where there is no order like that of the star community, where indigenous civilizations are still in the dark, unaware of each other's existence, so once the beacons are discovered to be activated, it means a war for the pitchers.

Access is tantamount to confronting an attacker.

Hence, Han Xiao is more willing to send someone to the door than the person being released. Anyway, the request is just contact, whoever can find the other party first.

After searching along the quantum link for a while, Han Xiao opened his eyes violently, opened the star map and looked for a moment, pointing his finger at the location of several stars separated from the Pangurid star, also within this galaxy.

“Found you. ”

Han Xiao shrugged his eyes and remembered that there was no indigenous civilization at all.

Thinking about it, Han Xiao struck a ringing finger, and the Phantom surrounded behind him immediately synthesized to form, standing in front of him.

“Master. ”

“I have a task for you.” Han Xiao slowly said: "You take some mechanical life and some of the mechanical forces and follow the beacon's data delivery direction to find the beacon guy, and if they attack, you subdue them. ”

“Understood, master. ”

The Phantom nodded, sounding the metal friction of the sand, then split into plankton guards, flew out of the room and immediately formed a team.

Han Xiao did not intend to make his own move because it was too sudden and a waste of time across several stars.

Now that he has a unique side of mechanical life, combined with [Quantum Rangeless Transmission Channel] to give Mechanical Boosts to the Mechanical Soldiers who are not around him, his Mechanical Corps already has an expedition capability and super A-level combat capability over countless light-years.

One of the reasons why super A-level mechanics are so harsh in the star sea is that their range of abilities and battlefield range is the scariest of all professions!
