On the planet Weilun, Tan Yao collected the mechanical mice that had been cut off from power one by one.
"This used to be a mining area," he explained. "To save costs, the mine, processing plant, and wastewater treatment plant were located very close together. I loaded a mine source detection program into the robot mouse and found the mining area. The wastewater treatment plant wasn't far away."
Gu Qiongsheng clapped his hands with a smile: "That's amazing."
Tan Yao turned his head and said, "It's nothing. Anyone who knows a little about mechanics can do it."
The truly powerful one is obviously Gu Qiongsheng.
Without her to repair these parts, Tan Yao would not be able to make the finished mechanical mouse; without her to charge the mechanical mouse, their team would not be able to squander energy so lavishly.
Tan Yao secretly watched Gu Qiongsheng with his peripheral vision and felt his heart beating faster.
The healing ability is also true, the mecha model last time was also true, and this time the parts and energy are also true...
Are these all accidents caused by the failure of awakening?
It made him even think about failing to awaken...
Tan Yao slapped his face with both hands, and said to himself in disgust: What are you imagining?!
On the other side, Qin Yuan was also watching this scene in surprise.
He only knew that Gu Qiongsheng had healing abilities, but he didn't know that the other party's mental strength had such a derivative use.
It's simply amazing!
The girl in front of me is like an endless treasure. The closer I get to her, the more surprises I discover.
There are thousands of people in the world who have failed to awaken, but Gu Qiongsheng is the only one.
Moreover, in Qin Yuan's heart, God is fair, and what you gain is equal to what you put in. If Gu Qiongsheng can now possess such a magical mental power, then when she failed to awaken, the situation she faced must have been extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, she survived.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan felt a little distressed, and his eyes looking at Gu Qiongsheng became softer.
In front, Gu Qiongsheng and Han Tianming worked together to push the boulder aside.
A huge pit appeared below.
It was unfathomable, with a cold wind blowing through the darkness, as if the abyss had opened its huge mouth, waiting to swallow up the creatures trapped in it.
Qin Yuan asked, "Did you bring the searchlight?"
Han Tianming, who was in charge of logistics, nodded, took out five energy bars from his backpack and distributed them to the team members.
Qin Yuan subconsciously said, "It doesn't need to be one for each person..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Gu Qiongsheng's ability, shook his head with a smile, and changed his words: "Forget it, as long as safety is guaranteed, we can just be a little more frugal."
"Don't be afraid," Gu Qiongsheng patted his chest and vowed, "Energy is not a problem."
She is now at a higher level and her blue bar is longer. Charging the searchlight is nothing at all and it will automatically recover in a short time.
No one knew what was hiding below, so for the safety of the team, she was willing to charge the searchlight a little more to ensure a bright view.
It's just a little blue bar.
…
On a high-altitude spacecraft.
Several examiners looked at the screen in front of them and frowned.
"Five... isn't that too extravagant?"
Someone murmured, "The same thing happened with the mechanical mouse just now. Do they even understand that resources are limited and should be used sparingly?"
Instructor Dong nodded slowly, his face looking a little gloomy.
The searchlight produced by Federal actually has a very long continuous lighting time.
However, there is a chaotic magnetic field in the caves of Weilun, which will greatly shorten the service life of the searchlight.
Instructor Dong's opinion, the act of recklessly wasting energy without knowing how deep the pit below is is really playing with one's own life.
This is just a competition, but what if it were really on the battlefield?
Trapped deep underground, the searchlights will become ineffective, and the team will lose illumination and vision - their enemies, the Zerg, don't care about this. They will launch a silent attack and tear the team apart!
Shaking his head, Instructor Dong was a little disappointed.
“They’re still a bunch of rookies.”
Instructor Dong muttered, "Your ability to utilize local resources is truly impressive, but your adaptability and resilience are quite lacking... Hmph, when your energy runs out, I'll see how you handle it."
Then points will be deducted from this team.
Buckle hard.
Let them suffer a little and learn their lesson, and see if they dare to waste like this again next time.
Thinking about this, Instructor Gao waved his hand and instructed the intelligent AI to switch screens. "How are the other teams... Well, this A012 is also making rapid progress. Are they approaching the mission location?"
The team displayed on the screen was none other than Ling Kaixuan and others.
Wearing power boots, they broke through the dust and rushed straight towards their mission destination.
Ling Kaixuan rushed to the front of the team.
He was running very fast, leaving Zhao Qingke and others dozens of meters behind. The others had to concentrate and drive at full speed to keep up with Ling Kaixuan's speed.
The faster they rushed, the more the wind and sand became like a rainstorm, crackling and hitting their bodies, brushing against their exposed skin, as sharp as knives falling from the sky.
Zhao Qingke felt like he was about to be buried in the sand.
She stared at Ling Kaixuan, who was rushing ahead, and said angrily, "Can't we slow down a bit?"
"At this speed, if we hit the ruins——"
Lu Yuanji said unhappily: “Forget it, that guy won’t listen.”
"If you complain about him rushing too fast, he'll definitely say something stupid like, 'You're a bunch of rubbish teammates. Just crawl slowly behind me. I can complete the task myself...'"
He imitated it very well, with a bit of Ling Kaixuan's flavor.
Zhao Qingke: “…”
Behind them, Wang Mingzi followed with difficulty, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He was in the defense department and was good at academic subjects, so his physical fitness was not as good as others. At this moment, he was staggering on his power boots, brushing past the ruins several times and almost hitting the large steel bars on the supporting ridges.
"This won't do," Zhao Qingke frowned. "We're too far behind. If the examiners see us, they'll think we're not united enough."
Lu Yuanji gritted his teeth and said, "That guy doesn't care about unity or not—damn, has this kid taken a bullet? Why is he so fierce today?"
On the spaceship, after Ling Kaixuan rushed out of the rest area, he came back with a dark face after a while. From that time on, something was wrong with this guy.
He looked like he had been offended somewhere, and was fierce and aggressive.
But they didn't dare to go over and ask.
And even if he asked, given Ling Kaixuan's personality, he would definitely not explain.
"There's no other way. Let's just hold on a little longer and catch up. This kid has been taking the wrong medicine for a while now."
"We're almost there!"
Ahead, the outline of their mission location was faintly visible.
The majestic mountains cast dark shadows on the ground, and the ruins of a city can be vaguely seen within the shadows.
The city, which had experienced killing, collapse, and was twisted in the magnetic field, took on a strange spiral shape, which was creepy just by looking at it from a distance.
Lu Yuanji and his team's initial mission was to find a laboratory in the city before the collapse and take away the test samples.
"What the hell is this place?"
Lu Yuanji complained, "It's so dirty and messy. It's a pity that the organizers could find such a corner to embarrass us...right, Sheng Zhang?"
No one responded.
Lu Yuanji turned around and raised his eyebrows in confusion: “Sheng Zhang?”
"What's wrong? I haven't seen you talk much since we got off the spaceship?"
From the moment he set foot on Weilun Star, Sheng Zhang seemed a little strange.
Even now, a person silently stepped on the power boots, maintaining a position neither forward nor backward.
He looked up silently, gazing at the distant mountains. His hair was blown by the strong wind, and his left hand covered his forehead, shielding his eyes.
"Shengzhang?"
Lu Yuanji shouted again, and the boy seemed to have just woken up from his distraction. He belatedly let out an "ah" and turned around to smile at them.
"I thought I heard a voice."
He said vaguely.
Lu Yuanji was confused and looked at him blankly: “What sound, the sound of the wind?”
"No," Sheng Zhang said, "it's the sound of death."
Lu Yuanji: “???”
"What the hell?"
Lu Yuanji frowned: “Have you played too many games?”
He was feeling annoyed and said in a rather unkind tone, "Please, can you be more normal? It's already difficult to deal with Ling Kaixuan, a chuunibyou person, on our team."
After being criticized by Lu Yuanji for a few words, Sheng Zhang was not angry and shook his head casually.
"fine."
The boy made a playful face and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, to lighten the mood."
"You're right. It was the wind that blew."
…
As time went by, the teams approached their mission objectives.
On the screen in front of Instructor Dong, the red spots of light were no longer scattered randomly, but were moving around a dozen large areas in a fairly regular pattern.
He rubbed his hands together, looking quite expectant: "Is the encounter coming?"
Controlling the AI, Instructor Dong frequently switched interfaces to keep an eye on the current situation of each team.
The other examiners were also constantly switching between the screens, looking for good candidates to prepare for giving extra points to their own war academies/research institutes.
Among the crowd, there were two people who were particularly strange.
Their images remained on one screen and rarely switched.
Such concentration soon attracted the attention of other examiners.
The representative from the Second War College walked up to one of them and looked at him curiously. "Investigator Xu, you're looking at...um, isn't this Team A1056?"
That energy-wasting squad?
The representatives of the Second Academy were amazed.
The other examiners all thought that this team wouldn't go far and were about to give up following them. So why was Investigator Xu, the Federation's gold medal investigator, still monitoring their progress?
Could it be...
"Do you know anyone in there?"
Xu Maoxing stared at the screen awkwardly, his voice low, "Nothing."
"They're just a few ordinary students. I investigate and grade so many students every day. How can I possibly remember them all?"
He said this to the teacher as well as to himself.
Just Gu Qiongsheng, a slightly less ordinary F-grade, but still a real F.
As a gold medal investigator, when has he ever failed?
The last time Xu Maoxing received a call from his good friend Wei Lan, he said "impossible" more than a dozen times in his heart.
But no matter how much he denied it in his heart, at the beginning of this league, he couldn't help but focus more on Gu Qiongsheng's team.
Then he recognized Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan, the prodigy three years ago, is now a useless repeater.
Qin Yuan's appearance has changed a lot now, and most examiners cannot connect him with the "rising star" of that year. However, Xu Maoxing is a gold medal investigator after all and has his own unique identification method.
The moment he recognized him, Xu Maoxing felt sick.
Although he was not asked to investigate when Qin Yuan got into trouble, he was skeptical at first about Qin Yuan being deposed. But later, as news from all sides became so certain, he gradually accepted the fact - but!
Based on the fact that Qin Yuan was deposed, isn’t this Team A1056 just “accompanying the prince to study”?
What was Colonel Qin thinking, asking Gu Qiongsheng to lead the team?
Xu Maoxing's head hurt so much it felt like it was splitting open.
He really didn't want to admit that he had misjudged Gu Qiongsheng, but why did it seem like now, except for him, everyone in the world was optimistic about this girl?
Could it be that I was really wrong...
Or maybe, Qin Yuan is not useless?
Xu Maoxing's head was as big as a bucket. On the other side, the representative of the Second Academy was still suspicious: "Is there really nothing unusual?"
"You are a gold medal investigator, you must be fair and just."
"Don't tell them you've found some good talent and are secretly telling the people at First Academy... I'm telling you, they're very cunning. They'll even cheat you and ask you to help them count the money."
"Oh, by the way, why don't you secretly tell me all the good seedlings and ask for any reward you want? I'll go back and ask the dean..."
Xu Maoxing's expression turned even uglier, and he quickly raised his hand to push him aside: "I already said no more."
"Hurry up and watch the competition! While you're distracted, someone might have already spotted a promising talent—look, a skirmish has broken out in Area A12!"
The first encounter since the start of the competition immediately attracted the attention of the representatives of the Second Academy.
Xu Maoxing also took the opportunity to switch the screen and began to observe other students in a way that made it even more obvious.
The battle in Area A12 can be said to be a crushing victory.
The examiners watched as Ling Kaixuan, holding a rifle, shattered the sensors on the shoulders of two enemies with ease and efficiency in just one encounter. He then made a beautiful gun flower, turned around and swung it again - the third person was instantly eliminated.
On the other side, Lu Yuanji and Zhao Qingke worked together to entangle the remaining two people with energy guns.
Sheng Zhang wandered around, and when the crossbow in his hand saw the opportunity, he shot accurately -
"Bang!"
The battle broke out quickly and ended quickly. In just one minute, Ling Kaixuan and others won the battle.
The fierceness, decisiveness and accurate prediction they displayed during the battle... made all the examiners' eyes light up.
The Star Corps' staff officer clapped his hands and said with a smile, "A very high-level battle, with good coordination. What's the name of the student leading the charge? His mental strength is quite formidable."
Someone nearby said, "He's the top student at Yuancheng High School, his name is Ling Kaixuan."
Fanxing's staff officer hummed, then turned around and said, "This kid is very skilled and suitable for surprise attacks. We Fanxing want him."
He said this to the lieutenant colonel of the Silver Legion.
Although there were representatives from many colleges and research institutes present, for them, their only real competitors were each other - leaving out the research institutes, no matter which college they graduated from, the students' final destination was still the Legion.
It's just a matter of time.
But Fanxing's staff waited for a while but did not receive any response from Lieutenant Colonel Yinhui.
He took a few steps to the side in surprise, leaned over and looked closely: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, are you... huh?"
The lieutenant colonel surnamed Zhou is a female soldier. At this moment, she is frowning and staring at the screen.
To be precise, he was staring at a person on the screen.
——Qin Yuan.
She came with a mission from General Qin, and she must protect Qin Yuan's safety. As for enrollment and good seedlings, Colonel Qin said that all of these could be put aside, and Qin Yuan's safety was the top priority.
Lieutenant Colonel Zhou did not know the special nature of Qin Yuan as a "strategic resource".
She just thought with emotion that although General Qin looked serious, he was actually very fond of his grandson.
This time, in order to allow his grandson to enter the War Academy, he did not hesitate to find four outstanding students to form a team with Qin Yuan.
This practice is undoubtedly exploiting a loophole in the rules, but Colonel Zhou also feels deeply helpless.
The general also tried his best.
For the sake of his own grandson, he did such a self-defeating thing.
Alas, if this gets out, I don’t know if those people in the military district will talk about it.
However, she still has to fulfill her duties conscientiously when her boss gives her orders and tasks.
And... although Colonel Zhou didn't know Gu Qiongsheng and the others, she thought that since they wanted to team up with four to one, the four students who formed a team with Qin Yuan must be very strong.
So, facing the "scramble" among the Star Legion's staff, she generously waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you can pick whatever you want. I'm only betting on this team."
After hearing this, Staff Officer Wu of Fanxing looked even more strange.
He also saw the screen in front of Lieutenant Colonel Zhou and recognized the team on it.
It was the team that started spending lavishly and wasting energy right from the start.
No way, Yinhui actually takes a fancy to such a team that is obviously lacking in strength?
The other judges looked at each other in confusion. One of them couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, what's so special about this team?"
Could it be that there was some bright spot that they couldn't distinguish?
Principal Zhou Zhong wondered how to explain this.
It's impossible that our admiral's only grandson is here, so he must come to Yinhui.
So she pursed her lips and made a casual expression: "Nothing, I just think these kids are a good match for us Yinhui."
"By the way, Chief of Staff Wu, there are so many teams out there, you can pick any one you want."
"I only want this one team. You guys won't snatch it from us, right?"
Staff Officer Wu: “…”
Staff Officer Wu was a little surprised, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he pursed his lips suspiciously, but he said nothing.
Those who can become staff officers are all very cunning.
The more Lieutenant Colonel Zhou said so, the more curious he became, and he wondered what was so powerful about this team.
How could the people of Yinhui take it so seriously?
The representatives from other colleges were also very smart. When they heard this, their eyes flashed and they all focused their attention on Gu Qiongsheng's team.
Investigator Xu and Lieutenant Colonel Zhou of the Silver Glory Corps both said so. Team A1056 must be hiding something fishy!
Even Ling Kaixuan's team, who had just won a battle and were collecting the spoils, only paid a passing attention.
With such focused attention, they actually noticed some problems.
After a moment, Instructor Dong hummed in surprise: "What's going on? Why are they moving so fast?"
"Where are the traps we set in advance?"
A representative nearby was at a loss for words: "They've all been cracked, and many have been evaded... Strange, isn't it? It feels like they have a professional trace analyst on their team. He can tell right away where we've set up."
"Oh, and it could also be because of the abundant lighting. They've brought out all the searchlights. This consumes energy, but it also gives us a clearer view and makes it easier to spot traps."
As Instructor Dong listened, his teeth gradually felt a little sore.
He felt very complicated.
After all, he was the one who presided over and organized the second round of competition, and he put a lot of thought into every aspect.
In his plan, these teams should step into the cave tremblingly, encountering traps and dangers along the way - the personal abilities and qualities of the students in each team can be seen in this process.
Then, after they cracked trap after trap, they finally arrived at the mission location, dusty and exhausted, only to accidentally step into an ambush prepared by others in advance and experience a fierce battle...
This will also test whether the students will relax their vigilance when they are about to succeed, resulting in failure.
Yes, this is the correct process!
Although some teams successfully solved the trap problem, Instructor Dong was happy for these students. After all, the purpose of the competition is to discover good seedlings. However, it was still disappointing that the first round of the competition he carefully designed did not work.
It's like a designer who designed an ingenious and difficult game segment, and waited with great anticipation to see the players' reactions, only to find out in the end that the players had exploited a bug to pass the level and skipped all the ingenious traps.
——Damn, my chest feels stuffy.
Instructor Dong pointed to a corner of the screen and said in a low voice, "Where's the team from the other quest line?"
"In addition to searching for ore samples, we also set up the initial task of protecting the ore, didn't we?"
Why don’t you come out and cause some trouble for this team?
"this……"
The teacher next to him was even more embarrassed.
He manipulated the AI to switch screens, zooming in to reveal the other team's progress. He whispered, "Team A060, this is already the fastest-growing team in the opposing mission."
"But there's still quite a distance to Team A1056 ahead."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Team A1056 will arrive at the mission location first..."
Instructor Dong: “…”
He was stunned.
how so?
The tasks of the two parties are exactly opposite. One needs to take away the sample, and the other needs to protect the ore within 12 hours.
The latter obviously sounds more difficult, so the organizers gave them more advantages.
For example, their maps were more detailed, and their supplies came with locators, which helped them reach the cave faster.
For example, marking all the underground traps on the map can not only ensure that they reach the depths faster, but also make these traps become props to protect one side from the enemy.
...Even so, they still let Team A1056 get ahead?
"No, that's not right," Instructor Dong shook his head repeatedly. "There's residual radiation in the cave. The closer to the ore, the more severe the radiation."
"The students need to use their mental strength to resist, which is also a huge drain on their physical strength. How can A1056 advance so quickly?"
So fast that it was as if... it wasn't affected by any residual radiation at all.
Several representatives nearby also shook their heads in surprise.
Professor Dong looked at the screen with a bitter face.
Meanwhile, on the screen, Team A060, assigned to the opposing mission, had no idea that another team had already surpassed them.
The team's voice came through the camera, a somewhat ethereal and leisurely tone, and excitement was about to burst out: "Hurry up, hurry up, we have to be the first team to arrive!"
"Hahaha, we're so lucky. The landing site is close, and the mission is my favorite ambush combat type."
"The examiners were so thoughtful. They gave us such detailed coordinates for the mission and marked all the traps along the way. We don't have to worry about anything at all."
"Let's go, hurry up and get to the front. We need to make arrangements before the other mission teams arrive!"
Instructor Dong: “…”
He weakly raised his hands to cover his face.
Damn, you bunch of idiots, what are you all so excited about!
You have all the advantages, yet your speed is so slow!
If we don’t hurry up, A1056 will take the ore away soon!
What will you be protecting then, a pile of debris?
Instructor Dong wiped his palm across his cheek and waved his left hand weakly: "...deduct points."
Anyone who gets the guarding mission and arrives at the ore location behind Team A1056 will have points deducted!
"Those who are assigned to the snatch mission will also have their points deducted from me."
The mission items were taken away by others first, so they didn’t even complete the mission at all, so they will lose points!
When the staff member heard the instructions, his eyes twitched and he looked down at the scorer in front of him.
If they really did what Instructor Dong said, the dozen or so teams assigned to the mining area would suddenly have negative points and all of them would be in the red.
A representative nearby hesitated and whispered, "How about... wait a little longer?"
The representative pointed to the screen and said, "It's been over two hours since they went down the mine, right?"
"Team A1056 is leaving so quickly, their stamina must be almost exhausted."
“They might be able to get the ore quickly, but how are they going to get it out?”
"What if we get blocked by the following team when we leave?"
This makes a lot of sense.
Instructor Dong touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, for such a large-scale competition, the competition format changes rapidly. The team that takes the lead at the beginning may not necessarily have the last laugh, and the latecomers may not be able to fight back.
“…Alright.”
He said, “Let’s see.”
…
On the planet Weilun.
Gu Qiongsheng led his team members down carefully and efficiently.
This mine really doesn't cause any trouble to them.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, no clues could escape Qin Yuan's eyes. With his meticulous logic and quick thinking, he could quickly determine the type and location of the trap.
With him, the team safely avoided many trigger traps along the way.
Once they encounter a forced trap, Tan Yao's mechanical mouse will take action - after all, it is made of picked up parts, so there is no need to feel bad if it breaks.
Zhou Qing is responsible for judging the direction of advance based on abandoned pipes, the direction of liquid flow and the concentration of the smell.
As for Instructor Dong's surprise about the radiation in the cave, on Gu Qiongsheng's system panel, it was a negative status similar to a debuff.
“Holy Light!”
Once the purification flash is released, resistance is instantly restored, debuffs are cleared, and physical and mental strength of team members are restored.
Han Tianming followed quietly behind.
Her psychic ability was hypnosis, so it wasn't working at all right now. However, the girl was clever and had already collected the team members' supplies and was quietly doing the logistics.
The group of people each performed their duties with great efficiency, moving forward at a steady pace, and soon arrived at an open space.
The surface of the rock platform deep underground was extremely sticky and wet with an unknown liquid. The air was also damp and tinged with heavy water vapor.
A strange smell wafted through the wind: dust, waste liquid, the stench of fermentation, and a burnt odor that seemed like something from a fire. This mingling of smells was truly a test for one's sense of smell.
Covering his mouth and nose, Gu Qiongsheng looked around: "Is the ore here?"
Zhou Qing pointed to the stone wall next to her and said hesitantly, "Is this it?"
Everyone turned around.
There was indeed a protruding stone protrusion on the stone wall, about the size of a basketball. Its surface was a mysterious dark blue, reflecting a faint cold light under the searchlight.
"This should be it," Gu Qiongsheng said. "Come on, let's dig it up—Tan Yao?"
She accidentally bumped into the boy's back.
Gu Qiongsheng raised her head in confusion, only to find that Tan Yao looked even more surprised than she was.
He stared at the ore, looked at it for a moment, then reached into his backpack, fumbled for a while, and took out a palm-sized cube.
"It's this material, yes..."
Tan Yao muttered silently, but his eyes gradually brightened: "Captain, this is the material used to make a psycho-mech!"
…
The material of the psycho-mecha?
Gu Qiongsheng was a little confused.
She pointed at the cube in Tan Yao's hand in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Where did this come from?"
Tan Yao reacted suddenly and stuffed the cube into Gu Qiongsheng's hand.
The cube doesn't look big, but it feels heavy in the hand, with the cool temperature of metal. But if you pinch it carefully, you will find that the surface seems a little soft.
Clearly not a regular metal.
"This is a gift from Professor Wei," Tan Yao said seriously. "He said he was inspired by the last competition and made a new breakthrough in technology. This is the latest physical model."
"I wanted to give it to you on the spaceship, but the news of the assembly interrupted me."
Playing with the cube in his hand, Gu Qiongsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So this is what you wanted to tell me at that time..."
Tan Yao nodded and continued, "The information Professor Wei gave me shows that this is a type of life metal recently discovered by the Federation."
"It has a small amount of biological properties and can be well integrated with mental power, but because the material is very scarce, this is just an intelligent core made by Professor Wei, the most critical part of the mecha."
"As long as I have this in hand, and I can collect enough life metal in the future, I can assemble my own psycho-mech."
Seeing that he was about to start talking as soon as he picked up the mecha, Gu Qiongsheng quickly raised his hand: "Stop, stop."
"We're still in the competition. Let's talk about mechas after the competition is over."
As for the cube in his hand, Gu Qiongsheng took a few glances at it and put it back into Tan Yao's hand.
Tan Yao didn't want to answer.
Gu Qiongsheng, however, insisted on holding on. Finally, he smiled and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Be good and take it. This thing should be given to you by Professor Wei, right?"
"I don't understand mechas. Even if you give me the materials, I can't make one."
The core can play a big role in the hands of someone who understands mecha.
But if it was given to Gu Qiongsheng, she would probably only use it to crack walnuts.
Seeing that Tan Yao was still struggling, Gu Qiongsheng waved his hand: "Ai, why are you so stubborn? If it really doesn't work out, you can make a finished product and return it to me in the future."
After hearing what she said, Tan Yao finally pursed his lips and took the core block.
On the other side, the rest of the people have worked together to dig the blue ore out of the stone wall.
Zhou Qing weighed it and said softly, "It's so heavy, it feels like nearly half a ton."
"It's like this," Tan Yao explained, "This ore is very dense, but if you use your mental power to control it, it will be much easier."
"And it's very ductile and plastic, like this—"
Tan Yao wrapped a small piece of ore with his mental power, and in front of everyone's surprised gaze, he pinched it into a thin long strip.
Like kneading plasticine.
"The research institute hasn't figured out the conditions for its production yet, so it can be said that the less we use, the less we have."
"As for these..."
He raised his hand and fumbled with the ore for a few times: "I feel like I can make the internal light armor for half a mecha."
Gu Qiongsheng responded with a "hmm".
His gaze kept scanning the stone wall, his eyes curved as if he was thinking about something.
On the stone wall, a conspicuous depression was revealed where the ore was dug out.
As time passed, a faint blue viscous liquid began to flow out from deep in the soil, overflowing the pit and dripping onto the ground.
However, the liquid only flowed for a short while and soon stopped.
Zhou Qing took a quick glance and asked doubtfully, "Waste liquid?"
"have no idea."
Gu Qiongsheng carefully took a half step back to avoid the blue sticky liquid dripping onto the ground.
For some reason, the moment her eyes swept across the small puddle, a somewhat creepy thought inexplicably flashed through her mind.
This oozing liquid...
A bit like blood.
