All five of them were teachers from the Alliance Academy. Qin Zuo and Han Ben were teachers from the mech pilot faculty, responsible for the safety of the group. Vicente, who had remained silent throughout, was a geography professor from the Alliance Academy. Phal was a professor of mineralogy and metallurgy, while Meng Fei 'er was a teacher from the alchemy faculty.
The Central Alliance Academy was one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the Five Major Galaxies. Most people who heard of it would feel deep veneration. The teachers from the Alliance Academy were even more respected.
The young man before them was still as calm as ever. For a young man of only 20 years of age to behave so calmly, Qin Zuo felt that the young man was more and more terrifying.
The young man's indifferent eyes seemed to have the power to see through people's hearts. It was as if all lies had nowhere to hide in front of him.
Almost everyone was suspicious of the young man's calm eyes, and whether the shameless young man from before was the same person.
In fact, they had underestimated Ye Chong. Ye Chong was only imitating Shang's tone. In Ye Chong's mind, there was no such thing as shamelessness or justice. To him, he was the stronger party, and it was not a big deal to take everything away from the other party. The laws of the Five Galaxies did little to restrain him.
Under Ye Chong's watchful eyes, Meng Fei 'er explained everything.
One of Vicente's students was an explorer. In fact, the number of explorers had been increasing over the years. In this era of peace, people needed heroes. In this era that lacked heroes, these explorers were portrayed by the media as heroes to the people. There was a huge profit to be made, and people were eager to get their hands on them. Once a primary planet was discovered, according to the law, that person would be entitled to a tenth of the planet's resources. While people did not lack food and clothing, the pursuit of wealth and power would never stop.
When the student sent his findings to Vicente, the latter was shocked. He was a geographer, but from the holographic recordings his student sent him, he found a few landforms that he had never seen before. For this reason, he organized this event.
Ye Chong was surprised. He did not expect this event to be organized by this silent old man. Parr was an authority on mineralogy and metallography. Meng Fei 'er was not well-known, but she was a famous teacher and had a deep understanding of botany. In addition, she was also proficient in medicine, so she became one of them. Qin Zuo and Han Ben were partners. They worked well together, and both of them had rich experience in exploring. Naturally, they became the team's protectors and guides.
Judging from the composition of this expedition team, it was undoubtedly quite reasonable. Considering that there were mainly wild beasts on the planet, Qin Zuo and Han Ben were enough to ensure their safety.
Everything was done in secrecy. Vicente's student had not contacted him since then. However, once the secret was exposed, everything that this student of Vienna's Szent Academy would be for naught. Everyone abided by the oath of secrecy.
Careful planning made everything go very smoothly. The size of this planet far exceeded their imagination, and the degree of evolution was also quite high. For the sake of safety, the group of people only touched the surface and didn't go too deep. But even so, they still encountered many species of ores that they had never seen before. Other than Qin Zuo and Han Ben, the rest of them had a bountiful harvest. They hoped to return to the academy as soon as possible. There, they would have their own laboratory. They needed to digest their findings.
Everything went so smoothly. Just when everyone thought that the whole operation was perfect, they encountered pirates.
And they were saved by Ye Chong.
After Meng Fei 'er finished explaining everything, she looked at Ye Chong quietly. In fact, the five of them never looked away from Ye Chong. This young man before them was the key to their fate. They could ignore wealth and fame, but they would never give up on their lives.
Ye Chong said nothing, obviously digesting Meng Fei 'er's information.
They had indeed discovered a primordial planet, which was quite consistent with Mu's speculation. Everything made sense. Ye Chong could not find anything out of the ordinary. Besides, Mu had also said that Meng Fei 'er's heartbeat was normal. Ye Chong was sure that Meng Fei 'er was not lying.
Perhaps it was to cultivate Ye Chong's independence, but Mu did not help Ye Chong much this time.
Ye Chong now had two choices. One was to investigate the Prometheus Group's incident with Gao Shichang, and the other was to solve the problem of the teardrop mineralite. This was a difficult problem. Objectively speaking, Ye Chong preferred to solve the problem of his papa first.
Ye Chong suddenly asked Vicente, "You said that your student has not contacted you since then?"
Vicente paused, and nodded. "Yes, yes. I've been waiting for news from him, but for some reason, he never replied. "
"I see." Ye Chong nodded, and made up his mind.
Vicente immediately seemed to have figured something out, and his expression changed. "You mean …"
Ye Chong only nodded. "That's only my guess." Ye Chong suspected that Vicente's student was probably being targeted. If that was the case, then the mission had to be accelerated. It was not a good thing to be ahead of them. Seeing how much Mu valued the teardrop mineralite, Ye Chong dared not let his guard down. On the other hand, Papa's matter was not urgent. Ye Chong made his decision almost instantly. Mu's rationality had completely influenced Ye Chong. Even if it was related to his beloved papa, Ye Chong could still make an objective and correct analysis.
The others did not react, but Vicente's face was pale. Suddenly, a few murky tears rolled down Vicente's cheeks soundlessly. It was as if Vicente had aged a few decades in that instant.
The others were shocked, and crowded around Vicente, asking him what was going on.
Qin Zuo was the second among the five, other than Vicente, to understand. Qin Zuo's face was full of disbelief. He looked at the calm young man before him, and asked, "You mean, he was killed?"
With that, the others finally understood what the two of them were talking about. They were all shocked.
Ye Chong shook his head. "It's only a guess. There's no way to prove it right now. Besides, even if he was held hostage, the chances of him being killed are not high. No matter who captured him, a living him is more valuable than a dead one. Of course, if he's smart enough, the chances of him surviving should be more than 60%. "Ye Chong was now very much like Mu.
Vicente shuddered a little, and his eyes brightened up a little. Phal shouted loudly, "Let's go save him, let's go save him!"
Meng Fei 'er quickly pulled Phal back and shook her head, gesturing for him to stay quiet.
Qin Zuo was now troubled. His own group's survival was uncertain, and now he was worrying about someone else's life. He laughed at himself, but he was a person who grew stronger with every setback. This incident had only made him more determined. However, it was impossible to save him. They did not even know who the other party was, and the only ones who could fight were him and Han Ben. The other party, on the other hand, was most likely an organization. The two of them alone could not save him. The more Qin Zuo thought about it, the more discouraged he felt.
"They'll definitely bring him to the primordial sphere. If we're lucky, we might meet them," Ye Chong said plainly.
Almost everyone looked at Qin Zuo. Qin Zuo had always been the decision maker for this group. Vicente did not interrupt Qin Zuo's thinking just because they were his students. He knew that these people were only his companions, and there was no need to get himself involved.
Qin Zuo smiled bitterly to himself. Did they really have a choice? He knew that since the other party had led them this way, their real intention was probably the primordial planet. The young man before him might not be any kinder than those who held Vicente's students hostage.
Qin Zuo thought about it, and said seriously, "Sir, you must also want to visit the primordial planet. I believe that no one is more valuable than us as a guide. If we meet the other party, I hope that you can help us and ensure our safety. " Qin Zuo's words made it clear that they were valuable to Ye Chong, and hinted that if he could not ensure their safety, Ye Chong would not be able to obtain any information about the primordial planet. Qin Zuo could not see through this young man. He felt that it was better to be straightforward than to beat around the bush.
Ye Chong replied quickly, "Alright."
In fact, Ye Chong had many ways to get the information he wanted from them. For example, Shang's interrogation. Even mentalists could not keep quiet under such interrogation. Ye Chong did not believe that they could withstand it.
However, he was beginning to understand that being direct was not always easy, and being roundabout was not always troublesome. At the very least, from the current results, the effects of these methods were very outstanding. For someone like Ye Chong who valued efficiency, efficiency and effectiveness determined everything. Methods were just a means to achieve the goal.
However, no matter what, being in a strong position would always give you the initiative. Ye Chong made sure to keep this in mind. Strength was the most important thing.
Now that they had formed a temporary alliance, everyone was relieved. At least they did not have to worry about their safety for now. The ruthlessness of the clown mech against the five pirates flashed across their minds.
Mu keyed in the location of the primordial planet, and quickly decided on the fastest route.
Ye Chong began to explain about the ores. Of course, he was just copying Mu's explanation.
Vicente and Phal listened attentively, asking questions from time to time. Beside them, Ye Chong was waiting patiently for Ye Chong to finish explaining the ores. She was more interested in the plants that she had collected.
Qin Zuo and Han Ben were pacing back and forth.
When Qin Zuo and Han Ben's eyes met, they could see the shock in each other's eyes. They had looked around the captain's room, and found no one else besides Ye Chong and the six of them. The interior of this starship looked no different from other Zika starships.
But this was what surprised them the most. Starships and mechs were very different. Mechs were much faster than starships, but they were not as good at long-distance travel. Starships had another function that mechs could not, and that was space warp. Starships were usually equipped with the ability to warp through space. It was this ability that greatly reduced the travel time in space, and made interstellar travel a possibility.
Without space warp, traveling from one planet to another would take a person's entire life.
Starships had functions that mechs could not, but at the same time, they were much more complicated to operate than mechs. For example, this Zika starship needed at least 20 people to pilot it. However, he and Han Ben did not see any pilot, and the starship was flying on its own.
A starship that could fly on its own. Qin Zuo's brain short-circuited. Who was this young man? How could he have such an advanced starship? Starship pilots had to go through a strict level test, and the complicated operation would stop most people. So far, Qin Zuo had not heard of any reports about this.
Who was behind him? Who had such advanced technology? That was terrifying!
Qin Zuo couldn't help but worry. There were many things in here that would be classified in any organization. If he and his people came in, he was afraid that …
The latter thought made him shudder, and he immediately stopped himself from thinking about it. He immediately winked at Han Ben and obediently sat down around the young man like the other three.
Ye Chong saw Qin Zuo and Han Ben's actions, but he did not say anything, and continued to explain the ores to Phal and the rest. Ye Chong would do his best to fulfill his promise. Of course, this was under the condition that he did not hurt himself. Ye Chong was not ready to risk his own safety for a promise.
"This green one is an emerald crystallite, mainly used for making accessories. It's a type of gemstone, but it's rare in the Five Galaxies. I've never seen any reports about it. It has a high requirement for cutting, "Ye Chong repeated Mu's words.
Meng Fei 'er, who had been drowsy, opened her eyes immediately and snatched the emerald crystallite from Ye Chong. Women were naturally resistant to gemstones, even though it was just a raw stone, and did not have the luster of a gemstone.
Qin Zuo's eyes brightened. "It's rare in the Five Galaxies? Could it be that there are people outside the Five Major Star Fields? "This sentence attracted everyone's attention.
