"It's just a piece of metal, how can it have feelings? — Doesn't that mean it's a spirit?!"
Tan Tai Rao Ming looked in her direction, chuckled, and said, "You said it had become a spirit, that's not entirely wrong."
"Exotic metals are actually living metals."
"How else could they have so many extraordinary properties?!"
"Because only living things possess true Beyonder characteristics!"
Xia Chujian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he continued, "No way? Exotic metals have life?! Then how can we use them as materials?!"
"What's the difference between this and using humans as materials?!"
Hui Gu then said, "What Commander Tan Tai said is not very accurate."
"Life in alien metals is not intelligent. It's like a plant; it can grow, but it doesn't possess true self-awareness."
Xia Chujian reluctantly accepted this explanation, but she said, "Deputy Commander Hui, I'm not a genetically evolved person, and I don't have any mental power, so I don't need to go down to the mine to dig, right?"
Hui Gu frowned and said, "I can't make the decision on this. It depends on what Commander Tan Tai thinks."
Tan Tai Rao Ming still laughed and said kindly, "It doesn't matter if you don't have spiritual power. It's just that you can't dig out the maze of the underworld."
"You can still mine other special metals."
Before Xia Chujian could refute, her teammates were furious.
Chen Yanjun said angrily, "Commander-in-Chief Tantai, you want our captain—an ordinary person—to go down there and dig with his bare hands?!"
They are genetically evolved beings, and their bodies are actually more durable than ordinary conventional metals.
Letting them mine by hand is almost the same as using robots to mine.
But Xia Chujian couldn't do it.
For an ordinary person like her, going down into the mine without tools would be a dead end.
Mai Aotuo also shouted, "Our captain can't go down into the mine! We'll help her dig her share!"
Jiang Sheng also said: "That's right! The captain can't go down the mine! We will help her dig!"
The remaining Fan Ruisi, Fang Chengliang, Wu Hang, Song Baotai, Yao Pingle and Liang Peng all expressed their agreement.
None of them wanted Xia Chujian to go down the mine.
Xia Chujian turned to look at his teammates and smiled with relief.
This time, her luck was still good.
She did not let her teammates down, and her teammates did not let her down.
At this time, Qiu Zijun and Tao Pao also spoke up for Xia Chujian.
Qiu Zijun said: "Commander Tantai, please don't force students who don't have spiritual power..."
"We have so many people, we can still make a difference with just one more person."
"Besides, wouldn't it be more effective if Xia is on guard outside to help us maintain safety and order?"
"Her marksmanship is evident to everyone."
Tao Pao also nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! I think Xia can help us keep watch outside to prevent those remnants from escaping again!"
After she said this, more students agreed with her.
Compared with the difficulty of going to the mine and digging with your bare hands, the threat of extinction is more imminent.
Tan Tai Raoming felt a little embarrassed.
He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. Our exploration robots are also equipped with security programs."
"I'm now activating their security program. They will take on the responsibility of guarding and maintaining order in the mines!"
At this point, Tantai Raoming suddenly changed the subject, his expression darkening as he said, "Now I declare!"
"This space expedition has been transformed into a special military mission!"
"Each of you is a military academy student and a soldier!"
"I don't need to explain what a military mission is."
"From now on, everyone must carry out military operations under the supervision of the exploration robots!"
"This military operation is mining!"
"We must find the maze of the underworld!"
"Those remnants captured us just to make us find the Yellow Spring!"
"It's just that they probably don't understand the characteristics of the Maze Yellow Spring, which is why this precious exotic metal keeps slipping away from us!"
"Now, everyone! Stand at attention!"
After Tan Tai Raoming gave the order, even Xia Chujian dared not disobey it anymore.
The words "military mission" meant that the room she had to maneuver was very small.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips.
This time, she couldn't even take Shao Siming's black silver mecha down the mine.
Do I really have to use my hands to mine?
Xia Chujian looked at his hands and fell into deep thought.
When Qiu Zining saw this scene, she almost couldn't stand up straight with laughter.
"Xia Chujian, you have come to this day!"
She is not a military academy student and does not need to abide by this rule.
But Xia Chujian couldn't do that. Now the four words "military action" were like a tight ring.
No matter how capable she is, she will be suppressed to the point of being unable to stand up straight!
