The silver mirror flashed with purple light. This was the most valuable place on Planet Adavi, Lai Mine Lake. It was also Sun Wuben's destination.
At this time, there were huge mechas working on the endless silver Lai Mine Lake. There were also three mechas floating above the lake. These three mechas all had a circular symbol on them. This symbol was exactly the same as the one on the Bumblebee mecha that Sun Wuben gave to Qian Meijue. It was the symbol of the Holy Empire.
Suddenly, the three mechas that had nothing to do and were floating casually trembled. Then, the three mechas flew towards each other.
"Did you receive it?"
"Yes, yes, we won. Boss Yamei won!"
"Haha, the Red Scimitar pirates are really finished. They were completely wiped out by Boss Yamei. Even if there are some fish that escaped the net outside, they won't be able to do anything!"
The three mechas were all excited. If they weren't on duty, they would have been drinking together to celebrate.
"The Red Scimitar pirates are finished?"
Some of the busy mechas below stopped what they were doing and looked up at the three mechas in the sky.
"Commander, what did you just say? The Red Scimitar pirates were wiped out? "Some of the mechas asked.
"Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you. Our boss brought Mr. Arnold and wiped out the entire Red Scimitar. 679 warships were all destroyed. Not a single pirate escaped. Hahaha …"
"Really? That's great! "Some of the mechas below cheered.
"The Red Scimitar pirates were looking for death. They actually dared to rob our Holy Empire's Lai Mine Ship. It's fine if they robbed it once, but they actually wanted to do it a second time. Who knew that Boss Yamei had predicted their actions and personally transported the Lai Mine Ship. In the end … Haha, with Boss's strategy, how could the Red Scimitar not be wiped out …"
"Actually, this second Lai Mine Ship was Boss Yamei's sudden idea. After all, the Lai Mine Ship was robbed last time. She came here to inspect the work and conveniently took over the task of transporting the Lai Mine Ship. In the end …" The three mechas were so excited that they couldn't stop talking. At this moment, a figure seemed to appear on the horizon. At first glance, the figure seemed to be on the horizon. In the next second, a clear outline appeared. In the next second, it was a naked person.
"What?"
The three mecha stopped talking and turned to look at the figure that was coming towards them at a high speed.
"Hey, do you see that? Over there …" A bear mecha pointed at Sun Wuben.
"You saw it too, this is really …" The Green Wolf mecha beside him also screamed.
"That was a person, but on a planet like this …" The humanoid mecha shot towards the direction Sun Wuben had come from. No matter what happened, no matter how terrifying it was, they had to rush over immediately. This was their duty.
"Peng!"
The humanoid mecha landed on the ground in front of Sun Wuben. As soon as it landed, Sun Wuben appeared in front of it.
"Hey …" The humanoid mech's loud voice was trembling. The lowest temperature on Planet Adavi was 3,000 degrees, and the highest temperature was over 100,000 degrees. Even metal would start to burn. How could a person survive in such a place without any protective equipment?
"You are …"
"I'm here to mine Yuanlai ore."
"Mine Yuanlai ore?" The bear mecha and the Green Wolf mecha landed in front of Sun Wuben as well.
"I'd like to ask if you're wearing any protective gear?"
"No need." Sun Wuben smiled. "My body can adapt to high temperatures."
"I see." The three mecha sighed in relief. The universe was vast and full of strange things. It wasn't hard to understand that some races could adapt to high temperatures.
"You're really something. I've lived for three hundred years, and this is the first time I've seen someone so easily survive in such a hot environment." The bear mecha sighed. "And from the looks of it, you should be from the Three-Eyed race. Logically speaking, the Three-Eyed race shouldn't be able to withstand such high temperatures …"
"You don't have to worry about my race or bloodline. If there's nothing else, I'm going to go mine Yuanlai ore." Sun Wuben's face darkened.
"You've got quite the temper." Green Wolf's tone was a little harsh. "If that's the case, then leave. I'm warning you, don't cause trouble here. Otherwise, hmph …"
"I'm a very kind person. As long as others don't bother me, I won't take the initiative to beat them up. But if some blind fool comes looking for trouble, then don't blame me. Right, tell me about the situation at Yuanlai Ore Lake, "Sun Wuben said coldly.
"Bastard!" Green Wolf's voice was furious.
"Green Wolf, explain the situation to him," the humanoid mecha said calmly.
"Yes." Green Wolf's voice was hoarse. Then, he opened a box. Green Wolf reached out and took out a scroll of map. He spread it open on the ground and pointed. "Listen, these silver areas are all Yuanlai Ore Lake. There's a total of eight hundred thousand mu …" Green Wolf finished his explanation quickly.
"Do you have anything else to ask? Or do you want me to repeat it?" Green Wolf asked coldly.
"It's just some simple knowledge. Do I need to hear it twice?" Sun Wuben snorted. He took a step forward, and his body appeared a few hundred meters away as if he had teleported.
"What?"
The three mechas were startled.
"Looks like this kid's martial arts cultivation isn't weak." The three mechas quickly activated the combat power detector on their mechas. The numbers on the screen scrolled, and a long number appeared.
“38729。”
"It's close to forty thousand." The three mechas looked at each other with a serious expression. An expert with a combat power close to forty thousand was rare in the entire universe. If he joined the Holy Empire's army, he would be able to quickly reach a very high position. If he was smart and had a good character, he might be able to enter the Holy Empire's military academy and receive personal guidance from the Holy Emperor.
"He's a true expert. Look, he didn't bring anything. He can't be digging with his bare hands, right?"
"Digging in the air might not work for others, but he has a combat power close to forty thousand. He can still dig it. It's just a little difficult," the humanoid mecha said in a low voice.
"That's right. With a combat power of forty thousand, he can barely dig the Yuanlai Ore Lake with his bare hands. No wonder he dares to come here empty-handed."
"He should be a solitary martial artist who doesn't have much money on him. That's why he came here to dig. Green Wolf, you can't offend someone like him," the humanoid mecha warned.
"Understood, Captain." Green Wolf was a little depressed. A cold light flashed in his eyes. "Hmph, even if he has forty thousand, he can barely dig the Yuanlai Ore here. Let's see how you dig. I hope you don't cause trouble, or else …"
The three mechas flew up into the sky. As members of the Holy Empire's Black Gold Battle Team, their duty was to maintain order, deal with conflicts between the diggers fairly, and protect their lives and property.
"These three have good tempers." Sun Wuben smiled in his heart. Of course, he deliberately angered the three. After all, they were important forces under his command. Sun Wuben didn't want to cultivate a group of bastards like Frieza's battle team.
"That Green Wolf was originally Frieza's subordinate. I didn't expect him to become …" Sun Wuben was very satisfied with Yamei's management. He looked ahead.
"The most precious thing in Planet Adavi's Yuanlai Ore Lake is the Yuanlai Ore in the lake." A lot of information emerged in Sun Wuben's mind. Yuanlai Ore was the rarest mineral element in the universe. This mineral element was the most resistant to high temperatures, resistance, and low temperatures. It was also the most stable and fragile element in the universe.
All the interstellar spaceships, like the spaceship Sun Wuben was now on, and the spaceships that went to Planet Namek in the past, had Yuanlai Ore in their power systems. Or rather, it was the discovery of Yuanlai Ore that made interstellar travel possible. Since then, the universe had entered an era of great prosperity.
Of course, in addition to being used in spaceships, Yuanlai Ore was also needed in various top-notch cosmic technologies. For example, the Black Gold Mecha. If Yuanlai Ore was not included in the materials, the Black Gold Mecha would not be much better than the mecha on Earth. After all, scientific theories were one thing. Whether the theory could be realized into a high-tech item, the most important thing was the materials.
And the Black Gold Mecha that could be used on Planet Adavi contained a lot of Yuanlai Ore.
Yuanlai Ore could be used in such a wide range of applications, but it could not be artificially produced. It could only be mined from some planets that contained Yuanlai Ore. However, Yuanlai Ore only existed on planets that were close to a star, where the surface temperature was as high as hundreds of thousands of degrees. Like Planet Adavi, it was because it was very close to a star that Yuanlai Ore was produced.
In addition, the mining of Yuanlai Ore was also extremely demanding.
"A planet close to a star may contain tens of millions of tons of Yuanlai Ore, but the amount that can be successfully mined will not exceed five kilograms. Just like this Yuanlai Lake …" Sun Wuben stepped down and stopped in front of a silver 'lake' that was glowing with a purple light. He then squatted down.
"Pa!"
A finger pierced into the silver lake.
"This temperature is about 30,000 degrees." Sun Wuben pulled his finger back. The silver lake in front of him was not ordinary water. It was liquid formed by Ming Lai Metal under high temperatures.
"There are more than a trillion Yuanlai Pearls scattered around this Yuanlai Lake, but it would be good if I could harvest more than 10,000 of them." Sun Wuben shrugged and jumped up. He landed on the surface of the silver lake.
As soon as his feet touched the surface of the silver lake, the entire surface of the lake caved in slightly. However, it did not sink. It was as if Sun Wuben had stepped on a super-dense sponge.
Sun Wuben pushed off with his feet, and his entire body shot forward like an arrow.
"Bang!"
He stepped down again. Once again, the surface of the lake caved in slightly. There was nothing else out of the ordinary.
"Harvesting Yuanlai Pearls is like smashing an egg with ten thousand kilograms of force. You have to break the shell without damaging the inside. The egg also has to move irregularly at high speeds. This requires too much control over one's strength. Even I …" Although Sun Wuben believed that his martial arts realm was very high, he was not confident that he could harvest a Yuanlai Pearl. "However, the harder it is, the better. Otherwise, how can I stimulate my martial arts? Mm, all the nearby Yuanlai Pearls should have been destroyed by the miners. There's no need to go in anymore."
Sun Wuben strode forward, stepping on the surface of the lake.
In the distance, mechas were scattered across the surface of the lake. Some of the mechas were just floating on the surface of the lake, chatting as they rested. Others drilled into the lake, while others drilled out of the lake … These were naturally all professional Yuanlai Ore miners. Many of them had been mining for their entire lives. Of course, there were also some who had recently joined.
Some of these miners were still talking about how Red Scimitar had just been wiped out by Yamei. Suddenly, one of them saw Sun Wuben walking over from the distance.
He blinked and opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
