The Zerg Are Useless Without Expanding Their Bases

Although Fang Zheng had acted as if he were facing a great enemy, perhaps blessed by the Goddess of Luck, he managed to send the entire mineral vein into space without incident. The vein would be cut apart and processed by Ishimura in low orbit around the planet, then divided into two parts—the Spirit Crystal ore would be further refined and collected using Ishimura's onboard equipment, while the other portion would be sealed in a vacuum and handed over to Nymph to determine exactly what it was.

After all, judging from the current situation, Heavenly Dao Palace might have to rely on deep-sea mining to get by for quite some time. If they could figure out what this thing was and find a way to deal with or control it, Fang Zheng would not need to make such a massive spectacle of it in the future... Although Planet Disintegration was a universal method of mining in space, one still had to consider whether anyone lived on the planet...

Fortunately, as a "planet disintegration ship," Ishimura possessed an extremely comprehensive range of internal facilities. According to Ishimura herself, aside from mineral storage holds for ore and a planetary disintegration deck, her hull also contained chemical laboratories, medical research rooms, and a flight control deck capable of housing small spacecraft. The planet disintegration ship even came equipped with self-propelled asteroid defense cannons with 1000mm calibers and self-propelled anti-aircraft cannons with 1200mm calibers...

Basically, there was nothing wrong with viewing it as a mobile Space Station.

For that reason, Fang Zheng had no qualms about placing Ishimura in low orbit. That way, no matter what happened, Ishimura could report to him immediately. Even if she came under attack, she had more than enough capability to fight back and defend herself—though, at present, there
