After releasing his 3rd generation mining spaceship, Lin Dong quickly returned to his mining spaceship.

The self-activation function in the personal support system was already used to control the his battleship. Hence, Lin Dong did not need to command the battleship in the command cabin, he could command it from afar.

However, the self-activation function consumed Lin Dong’s spiritual energy, so he was unable to make too detailed movements. For example, if he commanded it to engage in a battle, it was likely that he would run out of spiritual energy before the battle ended. He could only wait until his physical fitness improved in the future before he could control it even more precisely.

However, he only needed to control the movement of Thunder Flash and not participate in battle. It was sufficient.

After returning to his mining spaceship’s cabin, Lin Dong gave it a try. Soon after, he had the Thunder Flash turn around and head deeper into the mining area.

All he needed to do was wait for the buffer time of the exterior simulation to end before activating it again.

After activating the exterior simulation, his Thunder Flash could fuse with the surrounding environment. Searching it in the vast galaxy was just like searching for a needle in a haystack.

A day later, just like the past few years, Lin Dong piloted his mining spaceship and returned to Planet A399 with a considerable harvest.

After landing, he handed the ore over to Cade and returned home.

Just like his habits from the past few years, he did not make many changes in his life.

Lin Dong did not want to attract attention because of his abnormal actions. Keeping a low profile and hiding were the most important things at the moment.

On the way home, the surrounding environment did not change much. It was as if he did not know that 2 Spark battleships had already entered.

The next day.

Lin Dong woke up in the morning. After eating breakfast, he began to log into the interstellar miners’ communication network.

Miners would share anything that they found interesting on the communication network. Occasionally, they would talk about the big and small matters that happened in Planet A399.

However, there was basically nothing much on the network. At most, some miners would show off the ores and minerals that they had dug up.

After checking the communication network, Lin Dong’s heart relaxed a little as there was no discussion about the battleship.

At this moment, his Thunder Flash had already activated the exterior simulation. If it was not discovered, it would be able to enter the alternate space battlefield when the next safety period arrived.

Each mining session would take around 3 days, while entering the alternate space battlefield would take 24 hours. In other words, Lin Dong would need to stay in the alternate space battlefield for an entire day. The remaining 2 days would require him to return to the mining area and mine.

The harvest could not be much lower than usual, and it had to be maintained at a normal level.

Only in this way would he be able to conceal his abnormality.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Dong continued to pay attention to the news on the Internet.

He had changed the Thunder Flash’s flight route in advance, and before inheriting the battleship, he had dug up 5 units of mineral crystals, which was extremely effective in alleviating his current situation.

At least he did not have to worry about the standard energy blocks.

The energy blocks themselves were very common. They were used by many kinds of spaceship engines. It could be used on large-scale engineering equipment as well.

It was mainly made up of high-energy fuel. It was less than 20 centimeters in size, 1,000 yuan per energy block. It was normal to buy 2 or 3 at a time. It was understandable to buy more and store some of them.

However, with the size of the Spark battleship, a mere dozen standard energy blocks were not enough.

The exterior simulation and space jump device would require 100 standard energy blocks each.

If Lin Dong purchased too many energy blocks, it would be extremely suspicious because he was a miner.

This was because he did not need that many energy blocks, and it was useless to store them unless there were other special uses.
