Now that it has been confirmed that the energy stones can be modified by Guderian and placed in the starship, another question arises—whose energy stones should be removed?

Which of these mech owners has extra energy stones, or who would be willing to part with them?

Mingmei had expected this to cause unnecessary commotion, but instead, she saw Lu Xiaoyao slowly raise her hand and say:

"I have extra energy stones with me, I can take them out."

Everyone, including Mingmei, was stunned by Lu Xiaoyao's sudden generosity. Even Hu Yue almost couldn't help but call her a "little fool."

Seeing this, Mingmei glanced around and couldn't help but speak up for Lu Xiaoyao, saying, "At times like these, we should all work together to overcome difficulties. There's no question of who should or shouldn't. Since Xiaoyao, you contributed the energy stone, if we successfully reach our destination, we'll split the cost of the energy crystal back to you."

At least those who are clear-headed are nodding in agreement with what Mingmei said, and they don't think there's anything wrong with it. Everyone is going through this together, and it's not like others have things that you don't, so you should share them with them.

Even though a few people in the crowd looked reluctant, they couldn't make a scene because of the nodding of others. And Mingmei didn't say anything more when she saw that most people were willing to cooperate.

"However, Mingmei, what do you mean by 'if everything goes smoothly'?"

Some people were concerned about Mingmei's money distribution, but others heard the unspoken meaning behind Mingmei's words.

Even if their starship can take off, it seems there are still bad things waiting for them?

"Yes, if they didn't intend to continue messing with us, there would be no need for them to leave a message for us to go to Qilan Star, right? Logically, they should have gone directly to the territory where the Sixth Legion is located. Otherwise, before we even reach our destination, who knows what awaits us along the way?"

After speaking, Mingmei looked at Hu Yue again.

After Mingmei said that, everyone else looked at Hu Yue, and she really had no choice but to give an awkward smile.

Even she herself didn't know.

Her brother hadn't explained things clearly to her before, and after experiencing that event where the whole world changed when she woke up, she even started to question her own existence.

However, based on what Mingmei said and her understanding of her brother, it's possible that, just as Mingmei said, there are still some trials waiting for them!

In response, after Guderian spent nearly a day modifying the energy stone contributed by Lu Xiaoyao into one for use on the starship, the group had already divided up their tasks during their free time in the daytime, deciding who would command and control the starship once it was pilotable. The moment the energy stone was inserted into the energy slot, everyone began preparing for takeoff.

"Open the star map and check the properties of nearby planets."

Perhaps it was just bad luck, but this year no one from the command department of the Central Military Academy signed up to join the Sixth Army Corps. So Mingmei didn't know why she and Mu Chen were chosen to stand in command positions.

In response, Mingmei also saw through the superstitious nature of the students at the Central Military Academy—their obsession with grades.

As long as you get a high score, you can do anything!

Mingmei was aware of her rudimentary command skills, so she didn't object when Mu Chen spoke. She had previously discussed something with Mu privately—not to fly directly to Qilan Star.

"There are several primitive mining planets and two agricultural planets nearby, where people live and work with robots for a long time."

The bright light magnified the appearance of several other planets in the same star system as their planet.

"Those two mining stars are private mining stars, while the agricultural star is an affiliated star of Qilan Star."

After confirming the situation of these planets, Mingmei frowned. Mu Chen then asked Mingmei to find out who the owners of the private mining planets were. They needed to find a new place to rest after leaving there, and they didn't want to expose everyone's location directly.

"Querying."

As Mingmei looked at the search interface, the last two words that popped up caused even Mu Chen to take another look at the search interface.

Then they both fell silent.

This mineral star doesn't belong to anyone else, but to Mei Pu, the elder sister-in-law of Mingmei.

Mingmei: That's outrageous!

How come she didn't know her family owned a mine?

When Mei Pu received Mingmei's message about returning home, she was watching a TV series. After reading Mingmei's message, she immediately granted Mingmei and the others access to the app.

Even the robot butler on the mining planet warmly treated them to a delicious Hualan Star feast when they disembarked from the starship.

It's like finding a new path after a long and difficult journey.

Who would have thought that there would be a private mining planet on the edge of this Qilan Starfield, and that the mine owner would be so easy to talk to!

"Yueyue, do you know this mine star lord?"

After finishing his meal, Li Yuan finally relaxed, a rare occurrence. Although the mining planet was full of robots, he felt a long-lost sense of relaxation and felt completely at ease communicating with the robot manager.

He never imagined that someone would actually dare to entrust the entire mining planet to robots for disposal.

"I don't know him."

Hu Yue is still a bit confused. There are indeed many mining planets of all sizes in the Canglan Starfield, but due to geographical issues, most wealthy people are not willing to invest in and buy mining planets here, as it would not be enough to cover the losses from space pirates and insectoid invasions!

Even though the Canglan Star Region has claimed to have eradicated space pirates in recent years, most of the mining planets here are still under the control of the Canglan Star Region itself. The mining is also the same; either these mining planets are mined by the governments of nearby planets, or they are heavily guarded and mined by the Sixth Legion.
