Mo Heng tossed the two halves of the machine onto the table without saying a word. However, the aura around him told everyone that he was very angry right now.
Cillin glanced at the silent Mo Heng and continued, "I'm looking for a couple of ores, and 'Sea Paradise' has them. Right now, the party is in dire need of materials for development, and there are a lot of them that we can't buy at all right now. Even if we could, the exorbitant price isn't something we can afford. We are hunters to begin with, and hunters will get whatever they need if they can. "
Silin analyzed the situation from the Eleventh Squad's perspective to his own. Then, he explained his reasons for going to Sea Paradise.
A moment of silence later, Mo Heng looked up and said to Silin, "Is that all?"
"This is a very good opportunity." Silin did not tell Mo Heng about Lung's arrangements. Lung himself had said that he didn't want anyone to know about it. The reason Silin told Mo Heng that he was going to Sea Paradise was because he believed that Mo Heng wouldn't tell anyone else.
Mo Heng tapped the table and pushed the parts in front of him to the side. Then, he propped his arms on the table and looked at Silin, "Tell me the truth. Is it because of Yu Linglong?"
"Ah?"
Silin looked confused. Why did Yu Linglong get involved?
Mo Heng relaxed a lot when he saw Silin's expression.
"It's fine as long as it's not because of Yu Linglong."
"Why would you think of her?" Silin asked curiously.
"It's nothing. Silin, if you're looking for a wife, I still don't think that Yu Linglong is suitable for you. "
"... You worry too much."
There were some things that Mo Heng hadn't told Silin earlier, but Silin had learned some of them from Shi Huajing.
The person who took Mo Heng away from Seven Lights was Yu Linglong. The fact that Yu Linglong led her men to capture Mo Heng didn't mean that she was bad to Mo Heng. On the contrary, it was a form of protection. If someone else from the Yu Family had carried out the mission, Mo Heng might have suffered a lot. But no matter what, Yu Linglong had done it. She had chosen to bring Mo Heng to Miracle.
"Yu Linglong is collecting DH50 black ore, and the resources for DH50 black ore in the League of Stars are pitifully low. No one is willing to go to Ocean Heaven. The two groups of people she sent to Ocean Heaven were completely wiped out," Mo Heng said. Not only was she explaining why she had asked those questions, but she was also telling Silin that Sea Paradise was indeed a dangerous place, and it was best not to go there. But he also understood that once Silin had made up his mind, there was nothing he could do to change his mind.
"Okay, I'll be careful." The DH50 black ore was indeed a part of Silin's plan. But it had nothing to do with Yu Linglong.
The ore was numbered DH50 and was known as the Black Ore. In fact, this ore wasn't really black. It was just that its blue color was too deep, so deep that it was hard to tell it was blue. Moreover, this ore didn't have any other colors, so people always called it black ore.
In a dark environment, the natural DH50 black ore would sometimes emit a blue light spontaneously. Moreover, the light would follow a rhythm, as if it was breathing. Therefore, the DH50 black ore was also known as the ghost of the sea.
The older the DH50 black ore, the faster its "breathing" rate. And when there was light in the environment, it would tightly absorb the light. This kind of ore would glow red under ultraviolet light. This was also one of the easiest ways to identify this ore.
The DH50 black ore was very hard and was mostly used in space equipment, as well as some aircrafts and aircraft. The alloy of the DH50 black ore was added to the material, making it several times harder than before. It was perfect for defense.
Hearing Silin's calm tone that made people want to slap him, Mo Heng got up and slammed the table. "What's the use of being careful! Don't you know that the magnetic field of Sea Paradise has been getting weirder and weirder? A few decades ago, we could still use some equipment to investigate it, but now we can't get close at all. Also, from the changes in the magnetic field, the sea beasts there must be stronger. If you go in, you'll only have limited weapons. If you run into the sea beasts, you won't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth! "
Mo Heng hadn't actually been to Sea Paradise, but there were people from the League of Stars Research Institute who specialized in Sea Paradise. Mo Heng had learned about this famous dangerous place from them.
Silin paused. He didn't directly answer the question about the magnetic field and the sea beasts. Instead, he asked, "Do you know the Star Hunter Oskulos?"
"Although I'm not a hunter, I've heard of Oskulos's famous old man. The main material for Oskulos's knife was found in Sea Paradise, but he went looking for it himself. I've never heard of anyone else who found the same material. "
As expected. It was just as Silin had guessed.
"You've already made up your mind, so I can't change it. However, you have to know your limits. Don't try to show off. Finding the ores is secondary; the most important thing is to stay alive!"
"I know, I know. Oh right, Master Mo, if I can find some good materials, will you help us build a fighter?"
Mo Heng raised an eyebrow. "Is that what you're thinking, kid?"
"That's not the main point. But I do want the Eleventh Squad to have their own fighter."
It wasn't hard to get a fighter, but it wasn't easy to get a good one, especially one that was suitable for a hunter.
"Alright, I'll definitely help you when you come back safely. Consider it a contribution to your squad. I can't just stay here for nothing."
Mo Heng felt an itch in his heart. Ever since he found out about Xi Kai and Xi Mu, he'd been looking forward to working with them. That way, he'd be able to get to know Xi Kai and Xi Mu better. The two of them, especially that white-haired brat, had piqued his interest.
After chatting with Mo Heng for a bit, Silin went to check on the other squad members. The newcomers assimilated into the team very quickly. A Hunter's teamwork was forged through continuous quests, and while Cillin was gone, the rest of the Eleventh Squad worked well together during their quests without any hiccups.
Tang Qiuqiu could already use the Purgatory Thunder Snake E very well, but she couldn't use the Purgatory Thunder Snake K just yet. She couldn't control the Purgatory Thunder Snake K with her current physical condition. Cillin had collected some relevant information while he was at Miracle's base, and he was trying to think of a solution for Tang Qiuqiu.
"There's a fight going on over at the division." Eudy handed a new report to Silin.
Thanks to the media, the 5th Division and the forces behind Miracle were under a lot of pressure. After a period of suppression, they finally erupted.
In fact, everyone in the division was ready to go to war at any moment. It was just that they didn't have the opportunity to do so. Miracle's incident gave them an excuse to start a war.
"Sector C isn't the only Sector that's affected by the war. Some local government forces are joining the fray as well. A lot of Hunter regiments are avoiding the war, so why don't we find a quieter place to hide for a while? "Eudy asked.
"Where's the mission schedule we gave you last time?" Silin asked.
"I'll give it to you."
Eudy passed the list to Silin. Most of the missions on the list were located in secluded places, and only a few of them had been completed so far. Silin wanted the Eleventh Squad to complete the follow-up missions and avoid the war while doing so.
Silin circled a few missions and marked them with a different symbol. Then, he passed them back to Eudy.
"I'll be heading out again soon. Let's rest for a while, and then we'll start following the missions listed on the list. The circled missions will take priority, and if I'm not back by then, you may continue following the marked missions. "
"You're going out again?" Eudy exclaimed. He had been a Hunter for a long time, but he had never met a captain like Silin before.
"Yeah, I'm going to look for something useful for our development."
"Where are you going?"
"Sea Paradise."
"..."
Eudy held his forehead.
No wonder Silin didn't want the Eleventh Squad to participate in the war. He was going to that dangerous land.
"Is the plan ready?" Eudy asked.
"Alright, I'll leave in ten days." Cillin had already contacted Lung, and according to the ephemeris, Cillin would visit Sector H ten days later to find Lung. Of course, Silin wouldn't be idle during these ten days.
While Silin and Eudy were discussing their future plans, a figure suddenly ran out from the corner of the passage. When he saw Silin and Eudy, he hurriedly came to a halt, paused for a moment, and jogged toward Silin. Mogas and Kari also came to a halt and let out a dry chuckle. Then, they turned around and ran away.
"Oh, commander, lieutenant commander. You're all here." The figure running at the front hurriedly ran toward them like they were their saviors.
Silin looked at the man standing in front of him who looked a little reserved just like him. No, he should call it a robot. This robot was Silin's substitute, X-7. When Silin left the team for something and didn't want outsiders to know about it, X-7 would take Silin's place and show up in front of outsiders. When Silin went to rescue Mo Heng, X-7 was the one who replaced Silin. When the team was out hunting, mining, and trading, X-7 would appear in front of outsiders.
X-7 wasn't an Original robot, and it was much weaker than Sigma and the others. However, compared to other robots, X-7 was very good. Among the new batch of X-series robots Xi Kai created, X-7 was the only one with a free attribute. It was a random change in programming, and its occurrence rate was less than one in a thousand. That was why Xi Kai almost burst into tears when he saw the robot with the serial number X-7. It was the closest robot he had ever created to an Original robot.
X-7's appearance forced Xi Kai to cancel the substitute robot he had prepared for Silin. After all, a robot that was closer to an Original would be a lot more convincing in front of outsiders.
After that, Xi Mu upgraded X-7 several times to make it more alive. Although it didn't have the terrifying learning ability and self-awareness of Sigma and the others, it was still a rare trait among robots. That was why X-7 became Silin's full-time substitute in the Eleventh Squad.
When X-7 was outside, it would activate a set of procedures that made it look very similar to Silin's personality. Coupled with the fact that they looked exactly the same, no one noticed anything amiss even when they were doing business at the trading center.
However, unlike Celine, the real leader, when there were no outsiders around, X-7 would always be bullied by the other team members. Kari and the others even made it do funny faces because it was too difficult to make Silin do that, so no one dared to mess with Silin.
"Little Seven, what do they usually make you do?" Silin asked.
X-7 searched through its program records and answered, "Make faces, sing love songs, walk upside down, break dance …"
Silin: "..."
"Ahem, actually, everyone was just joking around to relax a little," Eudy said weakly.
"Should I be glad that they didn't make X-7 do striptease and pole dance then?"
Eudy fell silent. He thought, Cary, you guys better pray for yourselves.
X-7 put on an innocent face and said, "Captain, Moon said he's going to finish the program soon, and I'm going to upgrade it."
Silin looked at Eudy. Eudy remained silent.
Ah Yue, good luck to you too.
That day, Kari and Mogas were summoned by Silin to the training ground for a good "sparring". A Yue's newly created visual imaging tool for viewing small X-rays was confiscated from him.
Moon tried to persuade Silin to get the imaging tool back, but the only response he got was a closed door.
Silin wanted to solve Tang Qiuqiu's problem before he went to Lung. To be on the safe side, he didn't want to go too extreme. He wanted to improve the drug according to Tang Qiuqiu's body and physiological indicators.
Different people's bodies would react differently to the same drug. Perhaps the drug would be more stable for others, but it might not be the same for others.
When it came to the evolution of genes, Cillin had a deep understanding of them. There were things that needed to be paid attention to during the evolution process, such as the activation of the gene silencing region, the rate of DNA unwinding and the degree of helicization, and the assembly of genes and proteins under the stimulation of drugs. Cillin did not want to play around with Tang Qiuqiu's life, so he was extremely careful with every step he took. He would only proceed to the next step after he was certain that this step would not cause serious harm to Tang Qiuqiu.
During this time, Tang Qiuqiu also stayed in the workshop. After Silin gave Tang Qiuqiu the first injection, he observed Tang Qiuqiu's reaction. There would still be pain caused by the body's rejection, but it would be fine as long as she endured it. Apart from this, nothing unexpected happened.
The first step was to wait for Tang Qiuqiu to adapt, and then Silin would carry out the second injection. Then, he would use the drug to induce genetic evolution step by step.
He didn't want it to be fast, but stable.
On the tenth day, Tang Qiuqiu received the third injection, and her gene rank had gradually evolved to B-rank.
"Let's do this for now. When the gene is completely stable, you can start developing your current gene rank. The better the foundation, the easier the next step of evolution. Your gene was already very good when it was C-rank, unlike some people. Although they were also C-rank, they couldn't withstand such an induced evolution process. So, you should be glad, but you can't relax, "Silin said to the excited Tang Qiuqiu.
"I know." Tang Qiuqiu looked at the "B" on the machine, especially excited.
After leaving the workshop, Tang Qiuqiu couldn't wait to go to the shooting room to test her skills. In the past, she felt that controlling the Purgatory Thunder Snake E was her limit, but now she realized that she could easily control the gun.
Silin gave the K to Tang Qiuqiu. She might not be able to control it well, but she could use it to train herself and feel the limits of her body.
When Silin finally came out, Moon followed beside Silin with a pitiful look.
"You want your tools back?" Silin asked.
"Yes, yes!" Moon nodded quickly. The materials he had were only enough to create a set of recording tools. After Silin took them away, there was nothing else he could do.
"Come here." Silin waved his hand and asked Moon to follow him into the lounge.
Moon's tools were placed in Silin's lounge. As soon as he entered, Moon grabbed the pile of tools, silently telling Silin: I won't let go no matter what!
"Moon, what is the 'God's Tear' in Olillo's cage that represents reform?" Silin asked.
The 'God's Tear' was one of the five Olillo's. Back then, Silin had obtained a star map fragment called the 'God's Tear' from Gadar, but he never had the chance to give it to Lung. This time, he might as well give it to Lung. However, Silin had a feeling that Lung's operation this time was probably related to the 'God's Tear'.
"The 'God's Tear'?" Moon's arm didn't loosen its grip on the pile of tools. He turned his head and narrowed the blue bar on his face, "It's a kind of medicine."
"Medicine?"
"Yes, it's a medicine that allows the throat to split into a special organ. The Xi Family created it after studying a large number of sea beasts. However, the medicine isn't very effective if it's used by the general population. If it's used by some of the ancient races in Sector H, the effect will be much better, and the success rate of splitting will be much higher. "
Moon told Silin about the 'God's Tear' briefly, but he didn't know any more details than that. This was because the five robots weren't even born when the 'God's Tear' was created.
After learning the information he needed, Silin prepared to depart. He had already arranged everything here at the Eleventh Squad, and he had X-7 as his substitute. He didn't have to worry about anyone noticing that the Eleventh Squad's commander had left the squad.
Bringing Czedow and Huimao with him, Silin headed to the place Lung told him about at Sector H.
At a tall building at the city center of a prosperous planet in Sector H, Silin walked into a room.
On the sofa in the living room, Young Master Lung occupied the entire sofa and sat there casually.
"Long time no see, old friend!" Lung stood up and bumped fists with Silin. Then, he pointed at the seat next to him and motioned for Silin to sit down. He then took out a plate of fish biscuits he had prepared beforehand and placed it on the table for Huimao to grind his teeth.
After checking the time, Lung said to Silin, "Wait a little longer. Someone's coming. My grandpa sent them. "
The people around the famous old fox in the Star Alliance were definitely not simple. He wondered if he would become like that famous old fox because of what he had seen and heard.
Half an hour later, a serious looking man dressed in formal attire and carrying a black suitcase walked into the room.
When Lung saw the man, he sat down on the sofa and greeted him, "Aha, you must be Ying Weiji, one of the old master's top ten bodyguards, am I right?"
The serious looking Ying Weiji looked at Lung and answered, "My name is Ying Weiji, young master. Not Ji, right?"
Silin: "..."
As expected, the personality of the Andriera Family's bodyguards couldn't be judged by appearances.
