Chapter 73 Conduct a Large-Scale Exercise!
Duan Ming really didn't expect that his group of people just looking for a mining belt along the way would cause such a big sensation in the Seventh Domain.
After closing the chat area, Duan Ming stood up, walked to the interstellar computer, and checked the radar display on it.
After advancing for three days, just when Duan Ming was about to give up, a response finally appeared on the radar!
"Duan Ming! Come and see!"
Called by Tang Yaqing, Duan Ming came to the interstellar computer. The radar showed that there was a suspected mining belt 50,000 meters away from them.
Duan Ming was delighted and squatted down to touch the back of the Fire Rock Beast.
"Are you hungry? Speed up, let's go eat!"
The Fire Rock Beast made two "booming" roars, and its speed was obviously much faster. After all, it had been hungry for almost a day!
Opening the voice chat group within the family, Duan Ming issued instructions to all members.
"Two exploration warships, move towards the coordinates I gave you. Remember, keep an eye on everything you go to. There is a mining belt we want to find about 50,000 meters away; 12 development bases, deploy separately and be prepared for defense!"
The reason why the 12 development bases surrounding the Fire Rock Beast were deployed separately was because Duan Ming was not sure whether the mining belt in front had been occupied by someone. They had been advancing towards the center of the Seventh Domain for three days, and here they were almost at the edge of the area controlled by the Han family. It was better to be prepared!
Two hours later, Duan Ming received news from the two warships.
"Master! Mining belt found! The surrounding is safe!"
Duan Ming raised his mouth slightly, looked at the direction of advance, and raised his hand to point.
"Everyone speed up!"
...
This mining belt is several times larger than the mining belts Duan Ming had mined before. Based on the knowledge he learned from the Earth Star Academy, this should be the largest mining belt in the Seventh Domain!
The Fire Rock Beast and the Ice Crystal Beast stopped at the edge of the mining area, and the worker bees began their feeding work. Judging from the way the two star beasts ate, the metal ore in this mining area was very suitable for their appetite.
The two warships were active within a kilometer around the mining area during the day, patrolling, and allowing the crew to better adapt to the warships.
The Tang family has also returned to Earth. With the foundation of the Tang family, they have re-established a small company. Duan Ming had a conversation with the head of the Tang family. After learning that the Fire Rock Beast had produced another batch of metal, the head of the Tang family said that he would send someone to take it away as soon as possible.
The pioneers of the Seventh Domain had jointly requested Duan Ming to join the Duan family two days ago, but Duan Ming clearly refused.
The family's current development is in a stable period. Before everything stabilizes, Duan Ming will not recruit new members.
…
“Boss, I have two things to discuss with you.”
One week later, at dinner, Feng Xing found Duan Ming and made two suggestions.
“Tell me about it.”
“Boss, now the crews of our two warships have fully adapted to the warships, and I want to strengthen our warships to a certain extent.”
This is undoubtedly good news for Duan Ming. Compared with the Fire Rock Beast and the twelve level 6 development bases, the warships are more maneuverable. Since the crews have adapted to the warships, it is natural to strengthen them.
“How do you want to strengthen them?”
Feng Xing took out a list and handed it to Duan Ming. Duan Ming took it and read it roughly and nodded.
“No problem, I will let Bai Xianglu implement these weapons and equipment as soon as possible.”
Hearing Duan Ming’s reply, Feng Xing’s eyes were full of longing. The wish of his and his brother in this life is to command a strong fleet, and now, this goal is one step closer!
"What's the second thing?"
Feng Xing showed some hesitation on his face, and after a moment he said, "Boss, life on the warship is too boring, and the brothers can't sit still, so they want me to ask you if we can hold an exercise?"
Duan Ming was stunned, frowning slightly.
It's not that he didn't think about holding a large-scale exercise, but Duan Ming still has some concerns of his own.
Although the military and the government are tolerant of his development to a certain extent, it does not mean that Duan Ming can "do whatever he wants". If he makes too much noise, it will inevitably make the military and the government dissatisfied.
In addition, this place is not far from the area where the Han family is located. If the exercise is misunderstood by the Han family and there is any friction, the Duan family does not have the ability to carry out the exercise with two large families at the same time.
But Duan Ming can't easily refuse the proposal of his brothers.
"Boss, let's just do it! I heard recently that the Cheng family is preparing to launch an offensive against us. Let's rehearse it in advance so that we can be prepared!"
Tang Yaqing also walked to Duan Ming at this time and advised: "Just hold an exercise! It will also make those forces that covet us feel a little scared."
Facing everyone's gaze, Duan Ming lowered his head and weighed it for a long time, and finally made a decision.
Standing up suddenly, Duan Ming looked around at everyone and spoke.
"Two days to prepare. Two days later, let's show the whole star field the strength of our Duan family!"
...
In the next two days, the members of the Duan family reached their peak, not only because they were excited about the upcoming exercise, but also because the exercise would be broadcast live on Interstellar TV!
This was not Duan Ming's idea, but a coincidence. Interstellar TV wanted to do an exclusive interview on Duan Ming's "resurrection" and happened to contact Duan Ming in these two days.
Two days later, more than a dozen live broadcast spaceships of Interstellar TV hovered around the Fire Rock Beast.
Duan Ming walked up to the stage alone, while more than a hundred members of the Duan family were excitedly lined up in the audience.
Hearing the TV station's start-up announcement, Duan Ming took a deep breath.
"Brothers, are you ready?"
The more than a hundred people shouting in unison under the stage were clearly recorded into the radio equipment of the live broadcast spaceship without any amplification equipment.
"Please give the order, head of the family!"
"Everyone, take your positions, we'll start in five minutes!"
At Duan Ming's command, more than a hundred family members dispersed in an orderly and rapid manner, and the Fire Rock Beast also moved forward to the far end of the mining area.
"The development base group is ready!"
"No. 1 and No. 2 warships are ready!"
"The Star Beast weapon control group is ready!"
Three voices sounded in the voice chat group almost at the same time, and Duan Ming's mouth corners slightly raised.
"Begin!"
Just as Duan Ming finished speaking, hundreds of worker bees flew out from under the huge body of the Fire Rock Beast, aiming directly at the meteorite group a thousand meters away.
These meteorite groups were pulled from other areas by the twelve development bases in the past two days as the imaginary enemy of this exercise!
