Chapter 149 Phantom Stone

Yan Hao called Mr. Zhong and briefly explained the situation. In less than ten minutes, Mr. Zhong obtained the area where the phantom beast had been active.

"So fast?" Yan Hao was shocked when he got the information. Isn't this a federal level secret? Yet he got it so easily.

"I am a level 10 mecha maker." Mr. Zhong said with some pride.

"You talk as if everyone is right." Mr. Pang couldn't stand seeing someone showing off.

"Then why don't you go and ask for it, and instead ask your disciple to call me?"

"I can't help it. Who made me like to be an idle person?"

"Humph." Elder Pang was too lazy to argue with Elder Zhong. He expressed his disdain with a cold snort and continued to talk to Yan Hao, "I have already informed the Federation. You can look for it according to the markings above. If you have any questions, you can contact the local government or the garrison. They will fully cooperate with you."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Contact me if you have anything." After saying that, Mr. Zhong hung up the phone.

Yan Hao then clicked on the information sent by Mr. Zhong, checked the coordinates marked on it with the Federation interstellar map, and found that several coordinates were on uninhabited planets.

"Why is there no one? Is it a desolate planet?" Yan Hao couldn't help but feel a little strange. These coordinates are the places where the most phantom beasts were found in records.

Old Pang frowned, not knowing what he was thinking of. "Xiao Hao, search for flight routes to see if there are any spacecraft flying to these planets."

"Okay." Yan Hao had the same idea. He immediately opened the official website of Interstellar Flight, entered the coordinates of an uninhabited planet, and clicked Search.

【Sorry, there are currently no flights to this planet. 】

Yan Hao was stunned. The master and disciple looked at each other and then continued to input the second coordinate.

【Sorry, there are currently no flights to this planet. 】

—I entered four coordinates in a row, but the result was that there were no flights.

"Teacher, what's going on? Did the Federation impose restrictions to protect the habitats of phantom beasts?" Yan Hao guessed, but he felt that it was unlikely because there were no phantom beasts in these places anymore, and there was no need to restrict humans from entering.

"There are only two possibilities for a deserted planet that has no spacecraft entering. One possibility is that the planet has become an abandoned planet and is used to dump garbage, so no spacecraft can go there." Pang Lao paused for a moment and continued, "The other possibility is that the planet has been lost."

"Lost? Zerg?" Yan Haodi reacted immediately.

"Well, only people in the military know about the situation of this type of planet. It seems that we have to ask the military for help if we want to mine." said Mr. Pang.

"Then I'll go ask my senior to see whether these planets are garbage planets or planets occupied by Zerg." Yan Hao said.

"That's good. Sheng Heng is a member of the God of War Legion. He must know this kind of news." said Mr. Zhong.

At lunch time, the four of them sat together to eat again after a long absence. The reason why it was a long absence was that the four of them had been very busy in the past year. Not to mention Yan Hao and Sheng Heng, Cheng Wenkang participated in the battlefield trial and could not stay in school for more than 20 days in a semester. He Shao was in school most of the time, but the mecha warriors he signed were so hardworking that they raised He Shao's grades to the top five in the class with their artificial skills.

"I've checked. Some of the planets at those coordinates have indeed been occupied by Zerg, but most of them are low-level Zerg, and only one is more troublesome." Sheng Heng said.

"Then let's find one of them first to confirm whether this ore is the companion stone of the phantom beast." Yan Hao said.

"Okay, I'll talk to my brother later and see if we can transfer a team over here." Sheng Heng said.

"Okay." Yan Hao didn't bother to be polite with Sheng Heng and agreed immediately with a smile.

"Boss, what specific level are the low-level Zerg you just mentioned?" Cheng Wenkang couldn't help but ask.

"Below level six." Sheng Heng said.

"Then why bother Brother Zhuo?"

Sheng Heng glanced at the fat man who suddenly became flattering and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, don't bother Brother Zhuo, we can do it ourselves."

"Although the Zerg levels on these planets are not high, their numbers are considerable. It will take at least a 20-man team to get there," said Sheng Heng.

"It's just twenty people. There are forty-five students in our class in total," said Cheng Wenkang.

Sheng Heng finally understood: "You mean... No, you have to be at least a senior to go on a mission on your own."

"We have to wait until our senior year, but you don't have to. You are already a lieutenant and have killed a level nine Zerg. You can graduate directly. As long as you go and tell the truth, the teacher will definitely agree. Besides, we are only going to explore the mineral veins this time. If we can't win, we can just run away. There is no big risk." Cheng Wenkang continued to persuade, "It will be our senior year soon. After our senior year, we will choose our own military internship. Half of the people in our class chose the God of War Corps, and you also agreed to put us in the team you lead. This time, just treat it as an advance practice."

Sheng Heng frowned, still hesitating.

Seeing that Sheng Heng still refused, Cheng Wenkang glanced at Yan Hao who was sitting opposite him, and whispered in Sheng Heng's ear, "Brother Heng, don't you want to do something for your junior brother with your own strength?"

Sheng Heng's eyes lit up as he looked straight at Yan Hao opposite him.

"What's wrong?" Yan Hao noticed Sheng Heng's gaze.

"Nothing." Sheng Heng retracted his gaze and seemed to be normal. However, Cheng Wenkang, who knew Sheng Heng well, could already conclude that his persuasion was probably successful.

As Cheng Wenkang expected, Sheng Heng was indeed moved. He was stimulated by Cheng Wenkang, and he recalled everything that had happened since he met Yan Hao. It seemed that he had never done anything for Yan Hao simply by relying on his own strength.

After returning to the classroom, Sheng Heng first investigated the students' willingness. When he was sure that the students were really willing to leave the teacher and perform the task independently, he immediately drafted an action plan and went to the head teacher's office.

"These bastards have gone wild after only one semester of practical training. They actually want to go on missions on their own." The head teacher scolded with a smile.

After the third year, students in the mecha driving department will begin to experience actual combat. After experiencing actual combat and seeing the battlefield, the students will be divided into two groups. One is fear, and the other is excitement. If students who have fear cannot overcome it, they will not be able to become a qualified mecha warrior and will not be able to graduate successfully. Students who have excitement will try to get rid of the teacher's supervision and fight independently.

Of these two emotions, the teacher fears the latter the most, because fear makes people cherish their lives, while excitement makes people impulsive and blind. A group of students with little combat experience who are too impulsive on the battlefield are most likely to lose their lives.

"Teacher, I will supervise them." Sheng Heng pleaded.

"I think these people will join the God of War Legion in the future." asked the head teacher.

"Yes." Sheng Heng nodded.

"You can go, but you have to promise to bring all these people back to me," said the head teacher.

"good."

"Not just this time. Sheng Heng, you are already a lieutenant, and your rank will become higher and higher in the future. You must say this to yourself every time you lead troops out." The head teacher said solemnly.

Sheng Heng's expression also turned serious. He suddenly took a step back, raised his right hand, stood beside his forehead, and gave a standard military salute.

"yes!"

The head teacher smiled with satisfaction and lowered his head to sign his name on the application form.

Three days later, at the port of the capital star, a group of young men in silver-white school uniforms walked through the square with high morale and boarded a small warship one by one. Ten days later, the small warship returned again, and many of the young men inside walked out. Their steps were not as steady as when they came. Several of them were obviously injured and their steps were a little staggering, but their heroic demeanor remained the same, and they even looked more calm.

After returning to school, Sheng Heng immediately sent the excavated samples to Pang Lao's laboratory. Yan Hao tested them with a detector on the spot and found that this piece of ore not only had a high degree of compliance, but also had a tenfold increase in purification rate. Compared with the ore found on the resource star, the purification rate of this piece of ore reached 10%.

"The purity is very high." Yan Hao said in surprise.

"This kind of stone has been found in two consecutive places. It seems that we can basically confirm that this stone is indeed the companion stone of the phantom beast." Old Pang nodded.

"The purification rate is obviously better than the last piece. Does this mean that the more phantom beasts there are, or the longer the phantom beasts live in a place, the higher the purity of this stone will be?" Sheng Heng made a bold guess.

"Your guess is very scientific." Mr. Pang praised.

"Senior, how much of this ore did you discover during this exploration?" Yan Hao asked.

"If it's purified by one percent, it would be enough for two mecha arms." Sheng Heng said.

"So little?" Yan Hao was a little disappointed.

"Planet H009 is not that old in the history of the Phantom Beasts. There must be ores on the other planets, and the purity will be even higher." Elder Pang said, "Old Zhong and I will write an application letter to the Federation and ask the Federation to organize people to mine. In any case, we must first gather the materials for the two mechas."

This is a design that no one has ever tried. The loss of ore when manufacturing the mecha is impossible to estimate. The materials for two mechas are already the minimum requirement.

The Federation attached great importance to the joint application of the two level 10 mecha manufacturing masters. After going through special procedures, the Federation arranged a mining team in just one day and sent them to various planets to start the excavation mission.

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and purified ores were sent to the Federal College from various places. During this semester, Yan Hao and Pang Lao had been studying how to quickly and effectively make these ores into mecha parts.

Phantom Stone, this is the name given to this ore after everyone confirmed that it is the companion stone of the Phantom Beast. Each ore has different characteristics, and the method of making parts is also different. For example, the ore with high hardness will be used to make mecha outer arms, and the ore with good heat resistance will be used to make thermal weapons, etc. Phantom Stone is the latest ore discovered. It seems that except for the characteristic of being able to absorb mental power, it has no unique features.

Yan Hao and Pang Lao tried to make thousands of parts together, but none of them met the requirements. Fortunately, the ability of the Phantom Stone to absorb spiritual power was not destroyed by various processing.

On this day, Yan Hao tried to make a mecha axle. He held a mecha axle made of traditional metal in one hand and a mecha axle made of phantom stone in the other. He compared them carefully, trying to find the difference between the two.

Ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes. Yan Hao even used his mental power to analyze the internal structure of the two axles, but still couldn't find the reason. He sighed in frustration and placed the two axles somewhere. It wasn't until he was about to leave the lab that night that he remembered the traditional axle and planned to take it out and put it back in place. But when he reached out to take the traditional axle, he was shocked to find that the axle made of phantom stone was stuck to the traditional axle.

Magnetic force?

No, the Phantom Stone has no magnetism at all. Is it fused?!

Yan Hao stared at the place where the two axles were connected, a thin layer of black coating, and opened his mouth in shock.
