What is the best way to get the 50 microchips?

Question

I'm currently on the The Beryll mission of the main plot at the part where you are required to get 50 microchips and bring them back to the research station. What is the best way to get these microchips?

I've been trying for hours to supply the chip plant in Nathan's Voyage, but it only seems to produce one or two microchips per hour.

Answer

50 is a small number, your best bet is to traverse a number of chip plants to get what you need.

There's a handy tool that lets you find places that sells them. Look for the sectors with 2 chip plants and just camp out there, make sure those factories are fully stocked on the resources.

Rather than camping out in your own ship, you can just buy a freighter and order them to dock at the chip plants. As long as you have the trading system extension on your ship you can purchase/sell items remotely.

Later on, when you have to gather 50000(!!!) microchips for your hub mission, your best bet then is to produce some massive micro chip complexes (they make a lot of money as well after your mission is done).
