I'll update another section at 6 pm today, and another section at midnight! Smash the tickets!

"Are you sure it'll work?" Mu asked in disbelief.
Ye Chong shrugged helplessly. "I don't know either. This stuff was always concocted by my papa. I've only done it a few times, but I only used the blood of earthworms. Where would I find earthworms at this hour and a half? I can only try if this big guy's blood works! It would be great if it could be substituted. Otherwise, we'll have to go digging! "
Ye Chong took out the iron lizard's blood and poured it into a container. He then added a few other unknown substances into the container. There was a heater underneath the container to heat it up. Soon, the mixture was bubbling, and Ye Chong stirred it with a stick. The liquid gradually turned from red to blue, reflecting on Ye Chong's face. It looked like a curse potion made by an evil sorcerer in a novel. No matter how brave Mu was, his bionic eyes still flashed wildly.
The iron lizard's scale was brought back, and it met the requirements for repair. But how to connect the scale to the metallic body was another problem! They did not have any tools. While it was said that one could not cook without rice, but it would not be easy to cook with rice and nothing else.
Fortunately, Ye Chong was smart enough to come up with this idea! Back then, it took a lot of effort from his dad to attach the barbs on Winnie's body. In the end, he came up with this strange formula and invented this strong adhesive. However, the effect was great. At least the barbs on Winnie's body did not fall off after so many collisions. That was the source of Ye Chong's confidence.
However, he was worried about the effect of replacing the earthworm's blood with the iron lizard's blood.
Ye Chong carefully stirred the liquid in the container. He only stopped stirring when a sweet aroma wafted out of the container. Ye Chong smelled the alluring sweet aroma. Suddenly, he had the absurd thought that this thing might taste good. But he quickly suppressed the devilish thought. Impulsiveness is the devil … Impulsiveness is the devil … Impulsiveness is the devil … Ye Chong warned himself repeatedly. But when he saw the blue dot on the stirring stick, he could not help but gulp hard.
He took out two metal plates, brushed a layer on them, and quickly stuck them together. Then, he immediately threw it into the pool at the side. The blue liquid that was squeezed out from between the two plates immediately turned colorless when it came into contact with water.
Ye Chong scooped up two metal plates from the pool, wiped them dry and passed them to Mu and Shang.
"That's it?" Mu Shang asked.
Ye Chong replied irresponsibly, "I don't know, that's why I want you to try!"
Mu took the two metal plates that were glued together and tested them. "It seems not bad, but we are now using biological materials and metal materials!"
Ye Chong smiled, "I've already thought of this!" As he spoke, he took out the smallest iron lizard scale.
The experiment was a success. At the very least, it could be considered a success under these conditions!
Ye Chong took out the largest iron lizard scale, brushed a thick layer of blue liquid on it, and stuck it firmly on the hole. The hole was immediately covered up, and Ye Chong was still worried, so he added a few more scales on top of it.
Mu Shang said honestly, "Your craftsmanship is terrible!"
Ye Chong looked at the patched interior of the cabin and said indifferently, "Maybe it is. Although I don't understand it, maybe this is also a kind of artistic act with deep meaning! Do you need another layer on the outside? "
Mu Shang said, "No need, we don't have any ventilation equipment. If we stick it on the inside and outside, the air pressure inside will probably kill us during the interstellar jump!"
Ye Chong was enlightened, "Oh, I get it! But what about the rest of the iron lizard scales? "Ye Chong pointed at the pile of scales on the floor. All the scales on the iron lizard had been removed by the two of them, but they only used a few of them. There was still a huge pile left. It would be a waste to throw them away, but if they kept them, they did not know where to put them!
Mu said, "There's still space in my alternate dimension, put them there!"
The well-built Ye Chong looked scrawny in front of the towering Mu and Shang. The two of them sat side by side at the top of the nearest mountain of garbage in front of Ye Chong's house. Behind them was the towering pulsed signal relay station. It was already evening, and the orange glow of the star added a touch of life to the desolate planet, and a touch of warmth!
The two of them sat quietly, neither of them wanting to break the rare silence!
The last ray of the star disappeared into the horizon. Mu spoke, "The energy cells have been replenished! We're going to move now! "
Ye Chong nodded. While the most important thing was done, there were still many things for them to do.
Ye Chong sat in the cockpit. The spacious cockpit was now filled with energy cells of various sizes. Ye Chong could not even turn his body around. He put on the helmet, and could see the outside clearly.
Suddenly, Ye Chong felt a little reluctant to leave. He had lived here with his papa for more than a decade. He knew every inch of this place like the back of his hand. Every garbage hill had his footprints.
Ye Chong let out a long sigh.
No matter where he went, he was only doing it for survival!
Ye Chong took a deep look at the place he grew up in, and said hoarsely, "Mu, let's go!"
Mu and Shang slowly floated to a low altitude, and then suddenly shot straight up into the sky.
Ye Chong looked at the pulsed signal relay station below him getting smaller and smaller, until it was so small that it could no longer be seen. Ye Chong could not help but feel a little dazed!
Mu's speed was extremely fast. The outermost layer of the mech was surging with a thin layer of plasma. Due to the high speed and the friction with the air, sparks could be seen from time to time. With Mu's speed, he soon broke free from the planet's gravity and entered the vast space!
Ye Chong looked at the dark and deep space, at the colorful nebulae, pale red like muslin, blue like smoke, drifting between the stars, it was breathtakingly beautiful!
Even though it was his first time in space, he was not interested in the scenery before him.
Mu said, "Ye, turn on the pilot protection system. It's on your right armrest, the green button on the third row!"
Ye Chong did as he was told. A transparent barrier rose from the seat and enveloped Ye Chong. Ye Chong curiously touched the ellipsoidal eggshell-like barrier. It was soft and elastic, like some kind of gel. That was his first impression.
Mu's voice rang, "Ye, don't move, we're going to accelerate!"
Ye Chong, "Accelerate?"
Mu and Shang's voice was calm, "Yes, we can only perform the warp jump when we reach a certain speed. I only have a 41% chance of reaching that speed, and that's only in theory!"
Ye Chong was indifferent, "Whatever you say, I don't have a choice anyway, right?"
Mu and Shang's engines roared, and they sped towards the darkness ahead!
What exactly was waiting for them in front of them?
