"We used the colloid. We quickly produced a large amount of the colloid and used its self-spreading properties to form a layer of colloid on the surface of the Coxcomb, isolating the metal. " Mu and Shang explained. Ye Chong finally understood, and could not help but admire the ingenuity of the method. Mu and Shang might have described it casually, but Ye Chong knew that the whole process must be more dangerous than he imagined.
"Who came up with this?"
"Shang." Mu's answer surprised Ye Chong.
Ye Chong opened the door and called Sang Pu and the rest. He asked him to bring Little Rock and the rest to rest, and Sang Ling and Qiu Man would be in charge of the coordination.
Mu and Shang's dimension keystone returned to Ye Chong's neck.
"Ye, what do you plan to do next?" Mu asked.
Ye Chong caressed the pendant in front of his chest, "Let's talk after this."
"Hmm." Mu and Shang agreed with the idea.
The arrival of Mu and Shang had greatly boosted Ye Chong's strength. The facilities in the fleet were quickly moved to safety. Planet Yi Ju was barren, and the population was sparse, but it was not lacking in land. Large tracts of land were divided into Papatte Mech Squad.
In just a few days, a medium scale industrial zone was built not far from Terry City.
The industrial zone had almost all the production lines for combat weapons, from the mech's processor to the laser launcher, to the smallest spaceship's gasket, to the medium-sized spaceship's keel. As long as there were enough resources, everything could be produced here.
Mu and Shang's calculative nature was put to good use here. All the production lines and industries could form a complete production circle. In other words, this medium scale industrial zone was already capable of mass production of mechs, spaceships, and other finished products.
The industrial zone had been operating at full capacity ever since it was built, producing laser launchers like crazy. These were the weapons that planet Yi Ju lacked the most. Ye Chong had no other choice but to choose laser launchers. In the entire base, other than Mu and Shang, the rest were all close range fighters. The laser weapons that needed to be controlled were like scrap metal in their hands.
On the other hand, the laser launchers that did not need to be controlled were lacking in accuracy, but with enough of them, they could form a dense net of fire, perfect for defense.
Mu and Shang's spatial surveillance device was a relief to Ye Chong. Soon, many surveillance devices were set up around the unstable area. This would allow Ye Chong and the rest to react to any sudden changes.
The Sang Tribe in the base did not relax just because they no longer needed to patrol. Ye Chong had arranged a lot of sprinting exercises for them based on his experience with the mollusc bristleworms.
Planet Yi Ju's external communication facilities had also been upgraded. With Little Rock in charge and Zhang Yu acting as his assistant, the security of Planet Yi Ju's virtual world had reached an astonishing level.
Ye Chong spent most of his time in the combat room. The data from the front showed that the instability index in that area had been rising rapidly recently. This also caused everyone to worry, and the atmosphere in the combat room was very heavy. If the spatial instability reached a critical point before the Sang Family Village's reinforcements arrived, it would be a huge headache.
"What? There's news of Xin 'er? "Shi Tiancheng heard his subordinate's report and stood up abruptly.
Uncle Hua handed the report to the family head solemnly. "This is a letter received from the intelligence department in the virtual world. The other party claims to know where the Third Young Miss is, but they want to speak to you in person." Uncle Hua was Shi Xin's personal guard, and had watched her grow up. He was very close to her.
Ever since Shi Xin became a disciple of the Jie experts, there had been no news of her. No matter how hard the Shi family tried, they could not get any information about her. Ever since the Jie experts appeared out of nowhere, it was as if they had disappeared from the world.
Among his children, Shi Tiancheng had high hopes for Shi Xin, and she had never let him down. She was decisive and experienced, and rarely made mistakes. She had become the leader of the younger generation. Many of the Shi family members saw her as the next head of the family. Shi Tiancheng did not object to Shi Xin's decision. He was also curious about the mysterious Jie experts. However, he did not expect Shi Xin to have the courage to enter the tiger's den. As far as he was concerned, as a superior, taking risks was an extremely fatal mistake in and of itself.
All these years, the Shi family had never given up on searching for Shi Xin, but there had been no progress.
Now that someone suddenly mentioned Shi Xin's whereabouts, how could Shi Tiancheng not be excited?
"Alright. Transfer the comms channel to me. "Shi Tiancheng gave the order after a few seconds of thought.
Uncle Hua nodded silently as he looked at the tired head of the family, and left the room.
Over the past few days, the entire galaxy was in turmoil. First, the Three Aristocratic Families mobilized their military forces on an unprecedented scale, causing panic in He Yue Galaxy. The Shi family was also forced to retreat. Then, one of the Shi family's most important business partners suddenly left, leaving the Shi family in a daze. Over the past few days, the family head, Shi Tiancheng, had been under a lot more pressure than an outsider could imagine.
Shi Tiancheng took a deep breath, forced himself to stay awake, and switched on the comms channel.
"Mr. Shi, we meet again." The familiar and beautiful woman on the holographic screen surprised Shi Tiancheng.
Qiu Man had shown great diplomatic skills. Shi Xin, who was almost forgotten by Ye Chong, had shown great power in her hands. Not only did the Shi family return all the properties that belonged to Mu, Shang and the rest, but Qiu Man also plundered a lot of resources from them. The Golden Turtle Clan had also been ruthlessly plundered. Qiu Man was indeed skillful. Be it Shi Tiancheng or Lao Lun, they offered everything to her willingly.
These two windfalls had greatly alleviated Ye Chong's biggest financial problem. Over the past few days, the materials brought by Mu and Shang were being consumed at an alarming rate. Planet Yi Ju did not produce any minerals, and if they could not be replenished soon, they would soon be in dire straits.
Everything seemed to be going well, but today, Sang Pu handed him a report that caught Ye Chong's attention.
To prevent unnecessary interference, Ye Chong had taken control of all areas around Yi Ju, forbidding all starships from entering. However, today, a few mech squads suddenly broke into the sealed area. The Sang tribe's leader, who was in charge of security, ordered an attack without hesitation!
Ye Chong saw the mech wreckage recorded in the report. Ye Chong was speechless.
The Three Aristocratic Families! These mechs were all reconnaissance mechs from the Three Aristocratic Families.
Then, he received a report that outside the controlled area, three starships were leaving Yi Ju at high speed.
When it rains, it pours. Now that the Three Aristocratic Families had their attention, Ye Chong felt like crying.
