Ye Chong quietly took out the mech's logbook. There was also the chip that recorded the holographic video. He removed them all. Ye Chong's face was expressionless. No one could tell what he was thinking.
After that, Ye Chong opened the mech's energy system.
It was just as he had guessed. The mech was Ye Luo's Gleaming Night. Its energy system was powered by something Ye Chong was very familiar with - the teardrop mineralite. Only the teardrop mineralite could sustain the holographic scanning system of the mech for 26 years. With the Ye family's power, it was not surprising that they would install the teardrop mineralite on their best mech. However, Ye Chong did not understand why Shang did not use the teardrop mineralite as its energy source.
No wonder the red-tailed beasts were so interested in the mech.
They were not interested in the metal of the mech, but the teardrop mineralite. Ye Chong did not know how the red-tailed beasts used the teardrop mineralite, but one thing was for sure - they were more interested in the teardrop mineralite than anything else.
Ye Chong removed the teardrop mineralite. The material used for the Gleaming Night mech was the best in the world, but not in Ye Chong's eyes. He had obtained a large amount of rare minerals from Darkniss, and now he had all kinds of high-grade alloys.
Gazing at the skeleton on the chair, Ye Chong remained silent. His emotions were complicated.
Was this his father?
He had never thought that he would see his father in such a situation one day.
Rui Bing felt a pang in her heart when she saw Ye Chong's blank expression. She held Ye Chong's hand gently and said softly, "Let's bury your father's remains."
Ye Chong nodded and said nothing. The two of them carefully picked up the bones of the mech and held them in their hands.
They walked out of the mech. Sha Ya looked on in surprise as Ye Chong took out his dagger and dug a hole in the ground. The two of them carefully placed all of Yeh Luo's bones into the pit, and then buried them with sand.
It was not the first time Ye Chong did this. When Papa passed away, he was the one who buried him. The memory of burying Papa was still fresh in his mind. He remembered that he was very sad, very scared. Papa was his only family, who had taken care of him since he was young. He was still very young back then. Papa was not only his only family, but also his only pillar of support.
He was a child, after all.
Burying his father's remains this time, Ye Chong's feelings were much more complicated. There was less sadness, but more of a feeling that he himself could not explain.
Rui Bing said softly, "Let's pay our respects."
Ye Chong did not understand the meaning of kneeling, but he still nodded. He followed Rui Bing and kowtowed three times.
After that, Ye Chong planned to leave. He turned around to look at Liu Ye and shook his head. The mech was scrapped. Only a few parts, such as the holographic scanning system, were still mostly intact. Even these parts were damaged to varying degrees.
Let the mech stay here.
"Let's go back," Ye Chong said to Sha Ya. His voice was a little hoarse. Sha Ya noticed Ye Chong's odd behavior. She did not know what happened in the mech, but she knew what she should ask, and what she should not. She wisely pretended not to see.
The three of them carefully returned to the Darkniss.
It was not their first day with Ye Chong, and they could tell that their leader was not in a good mood. While their leader had never vented his emotions on them, they were still very careful. This was a sign of respect and obedience from the bottom of their hearts.
"Sir, perhaps we can use this spatial window," Aried said to Ye Chong.
Ye Chong snapped out of his thoughts and caught the meaning behind Aried's words. "What do you have in mind?" There were a large number of spatial cracks around this spatial window, which made it a dead zone. This spatial window was so close that it had no value.
Just then, Sha Ya interrupted Ye Chong, "Sir, the spatial cracks around the spatial window are fading."
"Fading?" Ye Chong was surprised. This was not something he had expected.
"Fading?" Aried was equally surprised. "That's impossible. There's no high-energy substance around here."
High-energy substance … Ye Chong had an idea. Could it be because of the teardrop mineralite?
The spatial cracks around the mech were much more concentrated than other places. Even the spatial cracks around the spatial window were much less concentrated than around the mech.
There must be a connection. Could it be that the spatial cracks were directly related to the teardrop mineralite?
Just then, Sha Ya exclaimed again, "Sir, spatial cracks are appearing around our warship. They're increasing in number."
Ye Chong stood up abruptly. It was the teardrop mineralite. Darkniss used the teardrop mineralite. It must be the teardrop mineralite. It could trigger the spatial cracks.
"Be careful to avoid them. Sha Ya, you take command, "Ye Chong decided. He turned to Aried and said, "We have to go through this spatial window now. What do you need? Now! "
Aried stammered, "But … But we don't know where this spatial window leads to …"
"I know." Ye Chong interrupted Aried. He stared into Aried's eyes and said, "We need to leave this place now. Now!"
Aried swallowed his saliva nervously and quickly nodded. "I understand, I understand!"
"What do you need?"
Aried pondered for a few seconds, and said without hesitation, "I need a teardrop mineralite. Just one teardrop mineralite. "Aried suddenly became very confident, a stark contrast from his earlier cowardice.
Ye Chong did not hesitate. He took out a teardrop mineralite and handed it to Aried.
The crew in the main control room quickly got busy, and the crew who stayed in the room all stared nervously at the holographic screen. They all knew that the most critical moment had arrived, and this was about to determine their fate. Compared to them, the crew in the main control room were less nervous, because they did not have the time to be nervous.
Piloting such a large warship and evading the spatial cracks in a small area was a difficult task, even in the He Yue Galaxy.
The crew in the main control room were all on edge. A series of complicated orders and chants were passed between them like flowing water. Ye Chong's warriors were all mentally strong. This was closely related to Ye Chong himself, as he had the same qualities.
The spatial cracks around the warship did not form quickly, which allowed them to evade the spatial cracks. If the spatial cracks formed faster, the chances of evading them would be much lower.
The only thing Ye Chong was thankful for was that the spatial fissures were dissipating faster than they were forming.
By then, Aried and Sang Kan had arrived near the spatial window. They were surrounded by a few Level 8 shooters. Level 8 shooters could not accurately perceive the structure of the spatial windows like Level 9 shooters, but they could generally sense their locations.
Aried and Sang Kan were focused on connecting the devices that they brought down.
These instruments were all made by Aried himself. With the precision equipment in the fortress, it was easy for him to complete these instruments. Besides, the chip that Ye Chong had given him was of great help to him in his research. It had to be said that the Research Consortium was indeed more advanced in certain aspects.
His devices were based on the Consortium's research results. However, this was the first time they were being used.
Fourteen silver discs about half a meter in diameter appeared. The discs were covered with complex light patterns. They were placed by Sang Kan and Aried right below the spatial window that was suspended in the air.
More of the crew members were interested in what Aried was doing. In their eyes, Aried was a very knowledgeable person, and the research he did was extremely profound. Now that they could see Aried's experiment with their own eyes, they were very curious. They kept their eyes open, afraid that they would miss a single detail.
Aried and Sang Kan began by connecting the 14 discs together. It was a complicated process. Both of them were very focused, and did not care about what was happening around them.
It took about half an hour for the fourteen metal discs to be connected together.
The two of them checked three more times, and after about 10 minutes, they were sure that there were no mistakes.
Aried gestured for Sang Kan to stay away. Sang Kan hesitated, but obeyed and moved closer to Aried.
Aried looked serious. He carefully placed the teardrop mineralite in his hand into the groove in the middle of the silver disc.
Beep! There was a soft sound.
The silver disc in the middle suddenly lit up. A deep blue light pattern appeared on the surface of the disc. The disc glowed faintly. Upon closer inspection, one could see thin and complex blue light patterns. They were mysterious. One after another, the discs lit up one after another.
All 14 silver discs lit up.
The strange sight made all the crew members gasp in amazement. If it was nighttime, it would be a beautiful and magical sight.
Aried heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately started running towards the warship. Sang Kan did not hesitate to carry Aried over his shoulder. The rest of the crew members saw this and ran as fast as they could.
