Needless to say, the five of them were shocked. No matter who it was, as long as they lived in the five major star regions, they would have the same expression when they heard this news. The young man before them had unintentionally revealed information that was shocking.
Ye Chong was too lazy to talk to them, so he ignored them and went straight to introducing the ores. Many of the ores were valuable, but they were of no use to Ye Chong, so he returned them all.
Qin Zuo was a little dazed. Ye Chong's words had a huge impact on him. Ye Chong did not explain, which only made him believe the truth of the statement.
If, if there were people outside of the Five Galaxies, and these people were above everyone else, but no one knew of their existence …
Ye Chong paid no attention to their reactions. The Five Galaxies were nothing to him. While the Orbits and Black Cove were not as vast as the Five Galaxies, their technological level and comprehensive strength were not something the Five Galaxies could compare with. He did not know if the MPA had a similar place, but Ye Chong believed that it was more likely.
Besides, from his past experience, the upper echelons of the Five Galaxies must have known about the Three Forces. Almost every time the Three Forces carried out a large-scale operation, Ye Chong could see the various administrative agencies of the Five Galaxies cooperating with them.
Qin Zuo was the only one who was thinking about this. Phal and Vicente were busy digesting the information Ye Chong had just given them about the unknown ores. As for Meng Fei 'er, she sat with her large, mesmerizing eyes wide open, listening to Ye Chong's introduction of the plants with sincerity and admiration. In her eyes, this cold young man was a profound scholar. While the explanation about ores was boring to her, she was convinced that even her own teacher was not as knowledgeable in botany as he was.
Ye Chong had learned all this from the chip Lunatic Guan gave him. These alchemy families had a long history, and in some ways, they were incomparable to academic schools.
Han Ben was a simple-minded creature, and would naturally not consider this problem. He was allowed to practice in the mech training room, and spent his days there. Vicente and Parr were overjoyed to be allowed to use the Metal Lab. They had been drooling over the top-notch equipment for a long time, and would not let go of such an opportunity. They worked so hard that they forgot to eat and sleep. As for Meng Fei 'er, she spent her days in the alchemy lab. Ye Chong allowed them to use the lab because he wanted to see how they would use it. While he was not watching from the side, Ye Chong had Mu record their every move.
Qin Zuo looked at the four of them helplessly. Why didn't they have a sense of danger? Qin Zuo wondered if they still remembered the purpose of this trip. Looking at the youth's thin and weak back, Qin Zuo thought that he might have a chance of winning if he ambushed him from behind. But when he thought of the youth's calm eyes, Qin Zuo's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and this thought immediately weakened.
Qin Zuo swallowed with difficulty when he saw the young man snap a stuck alloy pipe with his bare hands. He was secretly glad that he didn't move recklessly. As expected, this young man had the ability to subdue a few of them. This further solidified his belief that this young man was a Grandmaster of Combat. For the next few days, Qin Zuo would look at Ye Chong evasively.
The Coxcomb's journey was extremely smooth. He did not even see the shadow of a pirate. Other than the bigger pirates, the smaller pirates would not dare to attack a large starship. Mu's route was the shortest, so when Ye Chong announced that they had arrived at Tappero Galaxy, everyone was confused. Obviously, they did not expect it to be so fast.
The Five Galaxies were adjacent to each other. The line between Fal and Cerulean Galaxies was perpendicular to the line between Tian Luo and Tappero Galaxies, but these two lines were not on the same plane. The Csebesini Star Field was right in between these four Star Fields. Outside of the five major star regions was the vast universe, with countless planets representing countless unknown worlds.
As they moved further away from Tappero Galaxy, space became more and more barren. There were no fleets, no space bases, no space floats. Occasionally, one or two small spaceships belonging to explorers would be considered lucky.
As the explorers moved further, more and more planets were discovered. However, other than those with great potential for development, most of the planets were still barren. Vicente's student was indeed brave. The primary planet he discovered was already very far away from a habitable planet at the edge of Tappero Galaxy.
One had to know that it wasn't always peaceful in the vast universe. On the contrary, it was always filled with unknown dangers. Besides, the deeper they went, the harder it was to resupply, and the less likely it was to seek help in case of danger. However, in this world, the risk was always proportional to the reward. Every year, there were still countless explorers venturing into the Five Galaxies, entering the vast unknown world. Of course, most of them never returned.
If it were not for Vicente's student's star chart, it would not be easy to find the primary planet. Mu's star map only showed the edge of the Tappero Star Sector. Even so, it took them a long time to find the primary planet. Ye Chong was a little surprised that Vicente's student could actually find a planet here. Perhaps it was mostly luck.
"Is that one in front?" Ye Chong pointed at the huge green planet on the holographic screen. The planet was much bigger than he imagined.
Vicente nodded. Phal said loudly, "That's the one. Hah, I didn't think we'd be back so soon! " Qin Zuo put his hand to his forehead, sighing to himself. Heavens, did this guy not think of his situation at all?
Due to the turbulence, the spacecraft entered the atmosphere with some turbulence. Ye Chong did not stop immediately, but circled around the primary planet first. They did not go deep into the planet last time, and who knew if there would be other dangers. It was better to be safe.
Most of the planet was covered in forests, and the primordial forest that had never been destroyed by humans stretched on endlessly, stretching as far as the eye could see. Besides, after scanning, the trees here were tall and lush, with a rich variety of species. Occasionally, there would be various wild animals roaring through the forest. Unfortunately, the interference here was too strong, affecting the accuracy of Mu's holographic scanning. However, from Mu's scan results, the planet was rich in resources. The value of the raw wood alone was immeasurable.
The ocean only occupied one-fifth of the planet, not even as large as the vast sea of trees. However, it was not blue like the vast majority of the planets, but a strange light purple. The snow on the towering mountain range, the light purple ocean, the vast and boundless forest, and the beasts of various shapes and sizes formed an extremely beautiful picture. Just like the trash planet, there were no humans living here. However, unlike the barren trash planet, this place was full of life.
After circling around the primary planet, Ye Chong found that this move did not do him much good. There seemed to be a certain degree of geomagnetic interference here, and scanning was useless. Even Mu's holographic scanning range was limited to about three kilometers. Ye Chong believed that other holographic scanning systems would be useless here.
Ye Chong chose the spot where Qin Zuo and the rest had landed last time, mainly for the teardrop mineralite. Everything else was secondary, even though there were many good things here. Ye Chong did not make any noise. He did not want these people to know his purpose.
Looking down from the sky, it was still a dense forest. The leaves were so thick that it was impossible to see the surface.
"Are you sure it's here?" Ye Chong asked again. He needed to find the place where they went last time. This was not like space, where Mu's scanning range was only three kilometers. If he could not find the place where they landed last time, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find such a small teardrop mineralite on such a huge planet.
The five of them nodded in unison. Qin Zuo said, "Yes, it's here. Look at the intersection of two rivers, forming a diamond shape. There's no mistake. We were walking in that direction along the thicker river, "Qin Zuo pointed.
Since the five of them agreed, Ye Chong decided to land here.
After all, Zika class spaceship was not something Qin Zuo's small starship could compare to. The impact of the landing was terrifying. The Zika class starship was five kilometers long. All the trees in the area covered by the Coxcomb were flattened. The beasts that lived in the area were startled and ran for their lives. The animals ran for their lives, it was a spectacular scene.
The five of them were heartbroken. After all, these raw woods could be sold for a good price in the Five Galaxies, but now they were all destroyed. Many other plants were also destroyed, and Meng Fei 'er was probably the one who felt the most pain.
The Coxcomb forcefully pushed a piece of flat land out of the forest.
When the five of them got out of Coxcomb, the moist air outside refreshed them. The air produced by the starship could not be compared to the fresh air in the forest. No matter how advanced technology was, some things could never be created by humans.
They disembarked the starship carefully. The forest was too complicated, and holographic scanning was useless. It was not good for mechs to move around. Hence, they only put on their protective suits and left. It was a pity that Ye Chong's starship was not equipped with any heat ray guns. This made everyone but Ye Chong nervous. While they did not encounter any ferocious animals here last time, they would not be able to fight back if they encountered one this time. The five of them could only pray that their protective suits were sturdy enough to provide real protection. These protective suits were all brought by the Coxcomb himself, or else Ye Chong would not have bought such things in the first place.
Ye Chong then realized that the bottom was completely different from the top.
The colorful flowers, the warm and humid climate made the place rich in species. For a moment, Ye Chong was dazzled.
The pale golden plant was covered with a network of golden lines, and the veins on the back of the bright red palm-shaped leaves were also golden. There were many dark gray fruits hanging on them. Ye Chong immediately recognized it as the Gold Linden. He had seen its holographic image in the chip given to him by Lunatic Guan. The plant was very ornamental. Its fruits were edible, but it did not mean that it was suitable to be grown indoors. Once its juice came into contact with fresh food, it would turn into a deadly poison that could kill a person within seven seconds. According to the chip, there was once a primitive tribe who liked to smear their weapons with this horrible juice. However, this primitive tribe was eventually wiped out.
Ye Chong wanted to pluck a few of them to study, but he restrained himself rationally. Now was not the time to think about it. Finding the teardrop mineralite was more important. According to Mu's report, there was no trace of teardrop mineralite within 3 kilometers.
There was no other habitable planet with such scenery. Even though Qin Zuo and the rest had been here once, they were still deeply intoxicated by the scenery.
"Alright, let's move on." Ye Chong's calm but firm voice woke everyone up from their intoxication.
"Follow the path we took last time?" Qin Zuo asked.
"Yes."
The group walked along the river. Qin Zuo led the group, and Han Ben at the back. Since the protective suits were equipped with propellers, the group could fly slowly. Otherwise, Ye Chong could not be sure how far Phal and Vicente could go, considering their age.
The forest was lush with vegetation. The tall trees and plump canopies almost covered everything, and only the occasional light from the stars that leaked through the gaps between the leaves could make this place somewhat bright.
Vines grew freely between the trees and the surface of the ground, making it difficult for the group to move forward. Fortunately, the river was much cleaner. Ye Chong studied the plants around him from time to time. His expression was calm, but he was actually quite surprised. There were too many species here. In less than 20 minutes, Ye Chong had already identified 22 plants listed as rare in Lunatic Guan's chip. These plants were also growing well.
This was no doubt an alchemist's paradise.
A plant with a large, fiery red flower attracted Meng Fei 'er's attention. It was bright and glistening, and the shape of the flower was very strange. It vaguely looked like two human faces stuck together with their backs facing each other. The stem was very thick. It was the first time Meng Fei 'er had seen such an unusual plant. She wondered why she did not see it last time, but she could not help but move closer.
Ye Chong turned back, and saw the scene. Suddenly, Ye Chong's pupils contracted!
