The so-called energy ore was a mineral that contained energy or could be infused with energy. The glowing ores before Ye Chong did not originally contain energy, they were just some rare metal ores. It was only due to the influence of the teardrop mineralite that they underwent a strange transformation, and the glowing was an important characteristic of the energy they contained.
Since the process was similar to the mutation of living things, the mutated ores were also known as mutated energy ore.
Mu speculated that the main reason for the mutation was due to the teardrop mineralite. Ye Chong was surprised, it was the first time he heard of such a thing. The glowing ores were actually the work of these tiny teardrop mineralite.
Ye Chong's curiosity towards the seven tiny teardrop mineralites was reignited.
The seven teardrop mineralites lay quietly in Ye Chong's palm, warm, and glowing in a faint green. The seven teardrop mineralites were not big, the biggest one was only a little bigger than a thumb, and the teardrop mineralite Ye Chong took from Qin Zuo and the rest was the smallest one.
Ye Chong turned the seven teardrop mineralites over and over again, but he could not find anything special about them. Helplessly, he gave up on such a meaningless action. Another good thing that he could not use. Ye Chong smiled wryly inside.
On the contrary, these lower grade mutated energy ores were more useful to Ye Chong now. The harvest from these mutated energy ores was undoubtedly a bountiful one. The entire cave was cleaned out by Multipede. According to Mu, these energy ores were all rare metal ores before they mutated. It was hard to believe that this cave could have so many rare metal ores at the same time.
Ye Chong poured all the mutated energy ores into the room.
Colorful lights filled the room, and Ye Chong was dazzled. Mu did not tell Ye Chong that energy ores were also a type of precious gemstone. The precious energy ores were piled up like a small hill in front of Ye Chong. If all these energy ores were auctioned, even the richest person in the 5 major galaxies would not be able to match Ye Chong's wealth.
However, Mu also understood that Ye Chong would not react even if he told him about this. Ye Chong had no interest in wealth, and would only think of it when he needed it.
Unlike money, Ye Chong was very possessive of strategic resources. The trash planet was a place where resources were extremely scarce. Sometimes, there would be months where one would not be able to find anything useful. No one understood the importance of these resources more than he did. In that place where the strong preyed on the weak, this was a matter of life and death.
Ye Chong looked at the energy ores that piled up like a small hill, and immediately began sorting them out. If looking at the pile of energy ores was an extremely enjoyable thing, then sorting and sorting them out was an extremely painful thing.
Of course, the sorting was done under Mu's guidance, since Ye Chong did not recognize these ores at all. However, it was not a pleasant task. Ye Chong, who knew almost nothing about these ores, was getting dizzy in less than 10 minutes. This was because Mu's explanation never stopped. Truth be told, Ye Chong's memory was considered excellent, but this forced indoctrination method was too much for him.
Ye Chong felt that it would be more efficient if Mu handled the energy ores himself. However, Ye Chong knew that Mu was doing this for his own good, for him to gain more knowledge. If Shang used the same method, then that guy must be slacking off. The thought of Shang made Ye Chong's lips curl up. It should be Shang appearing in a few days.
"Ye, focus," Mu noticed Ye Chong's distraction, and reminded him plainly. Ye Chong quickly gathered his thoughts and listened carefully to Mu's explanation of the various energy ores' structure and properties.
The colorful energy ores were divided into a few piles. The smallest pile before Ye Chong was the one he could use now. There were many types of energy ores, and the quantity of each type was more or less equal. However, the quantity of each type of energy ores was not much, far from the requirement of mass production.
The rare ore that Ye Chong had the most on hand was the black gold ore.
Besides, according to Mu's database, these energy ores needed to be used in conjunction with other rare metals to maximize their value. With the amount of rare ores Ye Chong had on hand, this small pile of energy ores could only be of real use to him now. In fact, there were a few other types of energy ores that Ye Chong could use, but if he were to choose them, he would have to give up a few of them in this pile.
Ye Chong's current resource reserve could be described as plentiful, but the amount he could use was pitifully little. Among the energy ores in front of him, there were a few that he would need to enter Tappero to purchase from the Coxcomb.
Ye Chong and Mu discussed the scene in the cave for a long time, but they could not come to a conclusion. However, Ye Chong had a general understanding of the situation. For example, the area where the circle was located had a very strong spatial distortion, which should be the product of a tunnel.
Spatial science had been developed to a very mature level today. For example, the dimension keystone used by mechs, which was one of the examples of spatial science application. Also, the space warp of starships was also a very mature technology. In the Five Galaxies, the basics of spatial science was a basic course that all students had to learn, and it was not a very advanced technology. It had already permeated into every aspect of people's lives.
However, Ye Chong did not know much about it since he did not go through systematic training. The dimension keystone of a mech was one of the few parts that Ye Chong could not make. The reason was that neither Mu nor Aurora had ever mentioned this to him. Among the few knowledge systems that Ye Chong had, combat and alchemy were the most complete ones, while mech making and mech piloting were at a very strange level. He had studied some of the more advanced knowledge thoroughly, but there were some basic knowledge that he did not know at all.
With Mu's knowledge in spatial science, Ye Chong believed that he was much better than most of the teachers in the academies. However, Mu still could not calculate the specific value of the spatial distortion. What was behind this dark, distorted space circle? What would that powerful and terrifying creature look like? Who was the one who created this spatial distortion? Was it natural? Or was it made by this creature? Or …
There were too many questions, and Ye Chong was curious. Until now, there were very few things that could pique Ye Chong's interest, and the main reason was that he had experienced the power of this creature.
This was the strongest creature that Ye Chong had ever seen.
Even Mu could not ignore its power. Ye Chong could clearly feel that Mu was much more enthusiastic about repairing himself. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to repair Mu. There were too many difficulties. The main alloy used to make Mu was recorded in detail in Mu's database, including the method of extraction, but Ye Chong could not find a single one of the 52 types of metals in the database, and 17 types of non-metallic materials in the database. Ye Chong could not find a single one of them, and 11 of them were as rare as the Do Kun stone. It could be said that Mu was made entirely out of rare materials. That was only one of the problems. Mu's main damaged parts were the engine, the cockpit, and his left arm. The cockpit was the easiest to repair. As for the engine, Ye Chong still did not fully understand its structure. As for the left arm, he did not even think about it.
Fixing Mu seemed like a distant goal, but creating a weapon for Mu was a rather realistic matter. All this while, the lack of a weapon had greatly reduced Mu's power. However, with the unexpected harvest of energy ores, while there were not many of them, it was more than enough to make a weapon for Mu.
Ye Chong was also curious about Mu's weapon. What kind of weapon would Mu use? That was something to look forward to.
That was not all. Ye Chong had stored the slime of Tongshu's Letter in the alchemy lab, and the bone arrows, which were excellent skeletons, were also kept. The only pity was the dagger, which was given to him by Gu Shaoze. He had been using it for years, and it felt very comfortable. Hmm, it seemed like a new dagger would have to be made. Ye Chong looked at the pile of energy ores in front of him.
Ye Chong stayed in the room all day, ignoring the 5 of them. They could not do anything there anyway. Ever since Ye Chong mentioned the possibility of war, the 5 of them had been in a state of panic. The 5 of them gathered together, discussing the topic, and Meng Fei 'er's tears would flow uncontrollably.
Soon, the Coxcomb entered the edge of Tappero galaxy. They felt like they were back in the world, except for Ye Chong.
Once they entered the range of the 5 galaxies, they would be able to receive the pulse signal. Under the strong request of the 5 of them, who were worried about the war, and Ye Chong himself wanted to know the situation in the 5 galaxies, Mu turned on the communication control.
Ye Chong was right. The war had happened.
The Five Star Regions were in a state of chaos. Ye Chong did not expect the Three Forces to start the fight, but an organization called the Freedom Alliance, which Ye Chong had never heard of. It reminded him of the 5 mechs he encountered on the primary planet, and the spaceship that looked like an ancient warship. This must be the organization. After lying low for so long, once they realized that they were as strong as the 3 forces, they would not be satisfied with lying low!
They were the first to declare their ownership of Fal galaxy. Then, Black Cove announced their ownership of Tian Luo galaxy, and almost at the same time, the MPA announced their ownership of Tappero galaxy, and the Sanctuary announced their ownership of Cerulean galaxy as well. However, the strange thing was that Csebesini galaxy, which was surrounded by the 4 galaxies, did not move at all, maintaining its original state.
The world was in an uproar!
Soon, the 4 forces carried out a large-scale purge to strengthen their rule in the galaxies they conquered. The 3 forces originally had a large number of personnel in each galaxy, and the Freedom Alliance's sudden move made it impossible for them to withdraw their personnel. No one wanted their own backyard to be in trouble, so they carried out a cruel purge against the other forces in their galaxy. The Freedom Alliance had already recalled most of their personnel in other galaxies at the beginning of the operation, so the Freedom Alliance lost the least among the 4 forces.
Every galaxy was in a state of chaos. The citizens of the 5 galaxies were dumbfounded, as if the world had changed drastically overnight. But it was the truth.
The war was brutal!
Taking the Freedom Alliance as an example, the Freedom Alliance was the one who gained the most out of this sudden change. The other three forces were deeply rooted in Fal, far beyond their imagination. Their purge was met with resistance like never before. Back on Windstar, a few dozen mechs could cause so much destruction, and in Fal galaxy, the 3 forces had way more mechs than that.
The 4 galaxies under their control were all in the midst of war, but Csebesini galaxy was now like a paradise on earth. For a time, many residents of other star fields moved to Csebesini Star Field.
As the war heated up, the prices of various commodities skyrocketed, and many places experienced a shortage of commodities that had not been seen for centuries. Strategic resources such as metals were in even greater demand, and could not be bought in the market. The rapid decline in public security led to unprecedented pirate activity, and now pirates could be found everywhere. Under these circumstances, the popularity of mech pilots had reached an unprecedented level, as people needed them to protect their lives. The major organizations were desperately recruiting mech pilots, and mech pilots became the most popular profession.
Battleships were no longer a rare thing in the eyes of the people. The battleships of the four major forces were frequently dispatched. Everyone had already gone from being frightened at the beginning to becoming somewhat numb.
Inside the Coxcomb, except for Ye Chong, the other 5 were all stunned! When Meng Fei 'er saw the holographic images of the planets that had been destroyed beyond recognition, her tears once again fell uncontrollably.
The world was truly in chaos!
