The technology itself is not difficult, but it is rarely made available to the general public.
After all, in StarCraft, although the political systems and management methods of different civilizations are not entirely the same, there will always be classes regardless of the type of civilization.
The existence of social classes signifies disparities between people, inevitably leading to a situation where many technologies serve only the upper classes.
As for adventurers who risk their lives for money, although they might make a fortune if they're lucky, this profession has never been associated with privileged individuals.
To enjoy such technology, the only options besides exploring certain ancient ruins are to spend a lot of money.
After the first burly man emerged from the formation and threw his spacesuit back into the spaceship, the subsequent aliens felt reassured and lined up to walk through the formation.
It must be said that some aliens' spacesuits are not just for survival, but are even simple external armor.
One of the creatures, which appeared to be about 3 meters tall, opened its helmet after passing through the formation, revealing that inside this enormous body sat a tiny hamster less than half a meter tall.
The contrast was so striking that even the aliens nearby kept turning around to look.
Having adapted to the breathing environment using the array, the aliens then proceeded together to the prepared cargo area.
Although Li Xingkong did not travel with Luo Ning, he observed almost everything that happened inside the space station.
After glancing at the commotion at the formation area, Li Xingkong turned his attention back to the cargo area.
These aliens were indeed experienced explorers; upon arriving at the cargo area, they immediately went to the mineral area.
It is important to know that resources are the most precious thing in the universe, and among all resources, mineral resources are far more valuable than other resources due to their non-renewable nature.
If we could discover some minerals we'd never seen before on Earth Star, we'd be set for life.
Dangkeyixu the first to arrive. After entering the mining area, he began to use his instruments to analyze the raw ore displayed on the stalls, piece by piece.
Besides raw ores, the mineral zone also contained many refined minerals and alloys from Divine Land, but he only glanced at them and then ignored them. Earth Star's metal smelting level was acceptable, but in the vast universe, it could only be considered average.
These refined elemental minerals, when detected by instruments, are clearly not of very high value.
Raw ores are different. Due to the unpredictable natural mixture of elements, different raw ores may have other special uses besides refining metals.
For example, montmorillonite powder, a traditional Chinese medicine, is made by grinding montmorillonite into powder and using it directly.
Or, if it's kaolin clay, consuming it in moderation won't have any effect; only excessive consumption will cause death from overeating.
Most of the raw minerals on Earth Star are widely distributed throughout the universe and are basically common goods. Dangkeyixu almost finished its rounds but hadn't found anything special.
Until he reached the very end of the mining area, something unexpected appeared.
It was a plant. Whether analyzed by instruments, observed with the naked eye, or touched, it was indeed a plant, and it was even planted in a flowerpot.
But it was indeed placed in the mining area, and there was even a special sign to introduce it.
" Body Tempering Grass Generation 203. Based on the Body Tempering Grass First Generation, it can automatically generate specified types of alloys according to the elemental distribution of the planting location. The elemental ratio and structure of the alloy can be customized, supporting various extreme environments, including vacuum environments, and is heat and cold resistant."
"It can be used for cultivating materials for spaceship hulls and for mining minerals in extreme environments. (Note: The Body Tempering Grass has a hard overall structure; please place it in a suitable location to prevent children from swallowing it.)"
This introduction left Dangkeyixu somewhat confused.
This thing is just a plant, yet it can be used to produce alloys, and the way it's used is so simple and crude. It really feels like these people are just bragging.
However, the instruments in his hands were also reliable. The overall composition of the plant had been analyzed, and its leaves were indeed made of an unknown alloy. Moreover, according to the instrument's display, the strength of this thing was comparable to that of his own spaceship's outer armor.
"Really...?"
He was still somewhat skeptical, so he secretly tried to tear off a handful of leaves from the Body Tempering Grass, but he couldn't tear off a single one.
He looked around and, seeing no one paying attention, he grabbed the leaves with both hands and tore at them for a while until his hands were too weak to continue, but the thing remained perfectly intact.
Okay, the leaf's toughness is indeed real, but they still have some doubts about it.
Who knows if these are real plants or fake flowers that these people have created?
However, Dangkeyixu somewhat reluctant to let it go.
"I wish I could try it myself."
He casually stuck out his tongue and licked his face a few times with his long tongue.
"What are you looking at, Brother Dangkeyixu?"
While he was staring blankly at the Body Tempering Grass, the explorers from other civilizations who had followed behind him also arrived here.
The person who called out to him was an old acquaintance; the two were neighbors and often interacted as explorers.
This guy is rather chubby, like a large frozen pear from Northeast China. His dark skin is covered with a layer of fine down, which is not noticeable unless you look closely. His legs are very short, and when he stands, his huge body completely covers his legs, making them completely invisible.
Instead, it had very long arms that dragged on the ground, and its thick, sturdy claws gleamed with a dark metallic sheen, clearly indicating it was a master of digging.
For some reason, Li Xingkong felt at first glance that this guy looked like a giant mole.
"It's you, Anti. I didn't expect you to come this time too."
Dangkeyixu glanced back, then pointed to the Body Tempering Grass on the stall and said.
"There's something new here, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Why don't you come and take a look?"
The alien called Anti took a few steps and walked to the stall.
After reading the introduction to the Body Tempering Grass, he was also somewhat incredulous. How could such a plant exist in the world? It looked like something out of a movie.
Just as the two of them were lingering around the Body Tempering Grass, the cultivators in charge of the mineral area noticed them.
As he approached, he noticed that the two aliens were staring intently at the Body Tempering Grass.
"As expected, it's only spiritual plants that can attract these alien creatures."
Clearing his throat, the cultivator immediately stepped forward and introduced the Body Tempering Grass to the two. He also mentioned that he still had seeds of the Body Tempering Grass Body Tempering Grass and that he could personally demonstrate its effects to them if they had the right minerals.
Upon hearing this, the two nodded repeatedly, eager to see the effects of this thing. However, just as the cultivator was about to casually pick up a small amount of ore to experiment with, Anti asked a question.
"Could I use the minerals I brought?"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
The cultivator nodded. What's wrong with that? The Body Tempering Grass has been updated so many times, and it wasn't for nothing. They didn't even know how much potential it had now.
With the monk's permission, Anti hurriedly ran back to the spaceship. After doing something, the cargo hatch under the spaceship opened, and a pile of ore rolled out and piled up.
His commotion was so loud that all the adventurers browsing the stalls noticed him.
