The asteroid that Lin Yun chose is not far from the moon, only a few hundred thousand kilometers away, which is about the same distance as the blue star and the moon. In fact, there are many more asteroids within this range, but this asteroid is the largest.
According to Lin Yun's simple calculations, this asteroid is about 30 to 40 kilometres in diameter, which is quite large among asteroids. The vast majority of asteroids that cannot be ignored are less than one kilometre in diameter, or even only tens of metres.
The difference in volume between one kilometre in diameter and 30 to 40 kilometres in diameter is tens of thousands of times.
During the journey to the asteroid, Lin Yun asked Xingyi to stop at some small asteroids along the way.
During each stop, Lin Yun released the exploration equipment, which could detect the resources in some asteroids in an instant.
Sure enough, most asteroids did not have many resources.
For example, the total resources in an asteroid with a diameter of a few hundred metres were only worth a few dozen spirit crystals.
This was not even enough to cover the spirit crystals consumed by Xingyi and Lin Yuxun during the teleportation.
However, at the beginning, Lin Yun held the idea that even a small leg of a mosquito is still meat. As long as it was not a resource that was too large in size or took a long time to collect, he would release the collection equipment to collect it.
After all, he was already there, and the spiritual crystals consumed by Xingyi's teleportation had already been spent. It was better to collect these resources than not.
The resources in more asteroids, when added together, were actually only worth a few spiritual crystals.
Lin Yun was also drunk.
When he came across such an asteroid, Lin Yun didn't even have the desire to collect it. Was he really wasting his time?
Upon thinking about it, it was only natural for such an asteroid to exist.
These asteroids were so small that they were not even as large as some of the large ships on the Blue Star. He had once hijacked several of the Mo family's ships for their ores, and among them, there were some rare ores that were only worth a few hundred spirit crystals.
After encountering a dozen such asteroids in a row, Lin Yun finally lost interest in lingering on these asteroids.
He told Star One to head directly to the predetermined asteroid.
At this point, he somewhat understood the psychology of Star Blue when navigating the stars.
Some asteroids were initially of interest, but later, it was really not worth checking them one by one.
He now told Star One to teleport to the destination, and it was fine to pass by these asteroids on the way.
If Star One was told to teleport there specifically, or if it had to fly a spaceship or battleship, constantly moving and stopping, it would be a waste of energy.
After more than twenty seconds of continuous teleportation, excluding the time spent in transit, Lin Yun and the others arrived at their destination.
'Scan...'
Lin Yun said as he released the Lion Cub probe.
'Drops...'
As the range was not very large, the Lion Cub did not need to run around, and it circled around Lin Yun and the others, quickly transmitting data to the virtual video in front of them.
'There are actually rare resources, and the quantity is not bad...'
Lin Yun's eyes lit up.
This time, it was not a waste of time.
The next moment, Lin Yun waved his hand, releasing the collection device, which began to collect.
'Rumble...'
The collection device plunged into the ground, while at the same time, tentacles extended out, quickly swallowing and refining the resources.
Lin Yun watched the data transmitted by the collection device, which quickly rose.
Five minutes... ten minutes...
half an hour... an hour...
Unlike the moon, Lin Yun only collected resources within 10,000 metres. For this asteroid, Lin Yun planned to collect all the resources.
This asteroid is so far away from Blue Star and so small that it shouldn't affect anything on Blue Star, Lin Yun thought.
There are so many asteroids like this in the solar system, and there are many around Blue Star. What's more, such asteroids near Blue Star also pose a potential threat to Blue Star. If they collide with Blue Star one day, it would be a catastrophe.
It is said that as long as an asteroid with a diameter of more than ten kilometres hits the blue star, it can deal a devastating blow to the blue star, not to mention this asteroid with a diameter of thirty to forty kilometres.
If he completely collects the other party, it may even be beneficial to the safety of the blue star.
However, he has now deployed defensive equipment around the blue star, and this type of asteroid can no longer threaten the safety of the blue star, so there is no need to worry about this.
Two hours later, Lin Yun had collected all the resources from this asteroid, obtaining a total of resources worth 600,000 spirit crystals.
'This is a good haul...'
Lin Yun smiled faintly.
Although it was not comparable to the haul he got from the moon, one cannot be too greedy.
The moon's diameter is thousands of kilometres, even if he only collects resources from a depth of 10,000 metres, the volume he collects is far greater than the volume of this asteroid, so it is very good that he could have such a big haul.
Look at Xinglan.
Over such a long period of time, he has encountered many asteroids this big, but the most profitable asteroid he has ever found only yielded a hundred thousand spirit crystals.
Many times, Xinglan has only managed to harvest a few thousand spirit crystals from asteroids this big, which is not enough to cover the energy consumption of the spaceship during the long voyage.
He was very lucky to have found an asteroid that yielded 600,000 spirit crystals.
However, because he could not harvest resources like those on the moon, he could only harvest resources that were easy to collect, and this time the rate of resource collection was a bit slow.
On the moon, he could collect resources worth 7 million spirit crystals in seven or eight hours.
On this asteroid, it took him a total of two hours to collect resources worth 600,000 spirit crystals.
The difference in the rate of resource collection per hour was more than three times.
In fact, the latter was the normal rate.
However, Lin Yun was very dissatisfied with this rate.
You need to know how long it took him to travel. From the Blue Star to the Moon, it took less than 31 seconds!
From the Moon to this destination, if you don't count the time lost along the way, it was only 30-odd seconds!
Now, he has spent two hours just collecting resources from one destination!
Time is money!
This time is really too long!
'Maybe I can buy another collection device...'
Lin Yun thought.
If he buys another collection device, he can probably use them separately.
Lin Yun already had an idea in mind.
No wonder, the universe trading system said that the owners of the universe trading system generally have two periods of rapid development, one when they first obtain the universe trading system, and the other when they leave their civilization.
Now, he could be considered to have left his civilization, right?
Now, he was obtaining spiritual crystals at a very fast rate, and he could see that he would soon have collected 10 million spiritual crystals again. In the absence of being able to purchase a Level 4 technological civilization warship, he could consider purchasing a second Star Realm robot.
After all, if a Level 4 civilization were to send forces against Blue Star, it would be almost impossible for them to send just one warship.
If he wanted to defend against it, he could not rely on just one robot with the strength of a Star Realm martial artist.
Originally, he was unsure whether the unknown civilisation would come. If it did, he had purchased some defensive equipment to defend against it first, and then quickly collect the resources on Blue Star to sell on the universal trading system.
Even if it destroyed the ecological balance on Blue Star, he would not hesitate. After all, Blue Star was about to be invaded, and the humans on Blue Star might be enslaved, so the environment on Blue Star did not matter.
Later, he was sure that the unknown civilization had received the message, and he began to feel the urgency. After arranging things on Blue Star, he left for the moon.
Now, he discovered that the situation outside Blue Star was much better than he had imagined.
Then, this matter has great potential.
However, the specific situation will have to wait until the next target is reached...
After all, according to Xinglan's account, the speed at which resources were obtained outside the planet, although fast, was not too fast, especially as it was too reliant on luck...
Xinglan has only obtained more than 200,000 spirit crystals after sailing through the stars for several months.
Even if he has a martial arts robot that is more powerful than Xinglan's and a better spaceship, the speed at which he obtains various resources should not be much better.
If it weren't for this piece of information from Xinglan, he would have long since come to the stars to collect resources.
'Set off, heading to the second target...'
Lin Yun put away the collection equipment and detection equipment, looked up at the next asteroid, and chuckled lightly.
This asteroid is not close by, a total distance of about 800,000 kilometres away from them, and it is not as large as this one, with a diameter of only about 20 kilometres.
