Chapter 150 Strategy
Liang Zhishen said: "It should be the range from the 12th to the 28th star. We try to avoid this direction, and it should be fine."
Li Yi said: "What level of divine mecha is he driving? What is his overall strength? How serious is his injury?"
Liang Zhishen said:
"A-level 167 meters, Ice God sequence, wields a B-level Zanpaku sword, and has very fierce fighting skills, but it is obvious that he is a wild person, and has not been trained by our formal system. Of course, it may also be a disguise."
"As for the severity of the damage, there is a huge hole in the chest of the mecha, and there are also large cuts on the shoulder and femur. Our strong men have picked up a lot of parts. I estimate that even if he uses all his divinity to repair it, it will take ten days."
Li Yi nodded: "So, there will still be danger later? But if it's only 167 meters, as long as he doesn't hide his strength, the ten of us working together may not be afraid of him, so it's not bad."
Liang Zhishen nodded and said, "Everyone is strong. As long as we are not alone, everything will be fine."
Li Yi said: "Also, did this Heavenly Rank expert show up at that time? Or did this Heavenly Rank expert happen to be driving a divine mecha when he broke in?"
Liang Zhishen shook his head and said:
"No, he didn't miss it. Although he didn't control the divine mecha at that time, he was very sensitive to the situation. The moment our strong man broke in, he immediately entered the divine mecha, started it up, and broke through."
"We already had two Heavenly Rank warriors on our side, but the other side was determined to break through even though their mechas were damaged, and we couldn't stop them. After forcibly breaking free, they quickly activated their thrusters and flew into outer space."
"We naturally had cruisers that could intercept them, but after all, the other party was a Heavenly Rank expert, and a single shot of a divine energy cannon could destroy such a large cruiser."
"So, we can only watch the other party walk away."
Li Yi seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "From what you said, if we follow the captain's approach, the news should not have leaked out, which is good news."
"But have they traced the specific origins of these supplies?"
"Are there any more coerced personnel in the Supervisory Department?"
Liang Zhishen was overwhelmed by Li Yi's question and said, "I haven't received the detailed information yet. The captain just gave me a briefing."
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Be careful not to be left alone later."
…
Inside the ship, Li Yi held a small meeting temporarily.
"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Let's confirm a few key points first."
"I believe you have all read the information and clues related to the exploration of surrounding planets in the past three days."
"Now we need to determine where the first target will be after the starship flies away from the border star, and what the route planning will be."
"We now have about five minutes to escape the outer gravitational circle of the border star. During this time, we need to confirm where to go."
"Everyone, please give your opinions quickly."
Although Li Yi already has a plan in mind, the team is not yet fully familiar with it. They need to increase their familiarity through more exchanges and the process of reconciling opinions.
Therefore, he did not give direct orders as before, but instead used it as a topic and extended it a little.
In this way, in addition to increasing everyone's familiarity, consensus can also be reached in the process.
Following Li Yi's speech, someone immediately spoke up:
"I think it's more appropriate to go to Planet 33. According to the information provided by the border planet, I think there was a regional ban on speaking on Planet 33, which is highly suspicious."
The person who spoke was Lin Huiyi, the daughter of Lin Zhiyuan, the captain of the Sun Chaser.
Lin Huiyi has a sexy look, with charming eyes and eyebrows, but she is speaking quite seriously at this moment.
As he spoke, he displayed a light screen, which listed a series of secretive cases of absenteeism and disappearance.
Lin Huiyi continued, "Star 33 is a typical mining star that produces a variety of ores. It is a rare resource star around the border stars and is controlled by the Zheng family."
"Therefore, the local garrison troops on the border star rarely enter this area to explore."
"Plus, the continuous disappearance of these miners may mean that there is a regional taboo. And, as we all know, regional taboos are usually highly correlated with the remains of ancient divine civilizations."
"To sum up, I think we should explore Planet 33 first."
After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.
In particular, Zhang Pengting, who is familiar with Lin Huiyi, can see that Lin Huiyi is determined to prove herself this time.
Although the last exploration of the Tianshu ruins was very successful, Lin Huiyi did not get much credit.
Moreover, he was also labeled as having made poor decisions.
This time, she was chosen by Li Yi, a junior, to be a team member. The huge gap in her heart made her very angry and she wanted to take drastic measures.
Li Yi said: "What Instructor Lin said does make sense. Does anyone else have any additional comments?"
Zhang Pengting said:
"I agree with Lin Huiyi's opinion, but I think Planet 33 should be the second choice. The first choice should be Planet 5."
"There are more exploration records in other areas of Planet 5, but the records around a special place named Ice Dragon River are not very clear. Because Ice Dragon River is too dangerous, it has swallowed up several C-class divine mechas, making it impossible to continue exploration."
“So that’s a blank area in the record.”
"According to my recent research, the Binglong River is shaped like a giant ice dragon, stretching for thousands of miles and frozen all year round, forming a huge contrast with the surrounding scorching environment."
"Based on the previously confirmed crustal structure of Planet 5 and the corresponding temperature changes, it is not surprising that Planet 5 is in an environment with a temperature of over 100 degrees."
"But there just happened to be an extremely special Ice Dragon River."
"Then, we can imagine that there must be some extremely powerful divine item that is continuously transforming the environment of Binglongchuan."
"Plant 5 is relatively close to the border star, so we can get there quickly."
"This way, even if we want to explore Planet 33, we don't have to take a long detour or travel back and forth, and we can save more time."
As soon as this was said, everyone nodded in agreement.
That does make sense.
After all, although two months seems long, it is obviously very short compared to their goal.
It can even be said that it is far from enough.
Xu Weilu also spoke at this time:
"I think these places may have been explored by powerful Heavenly Rank experts. Although they have not been recorded, it is more likely that they are just special landforms formed by different planets, and each has its own reasons."
"What we should consider more is how to visit resource planets when we cannot explore heritage relics, find out the development points of planets that may contain key resources, and use the corresponding resource levels to win the victory."
"As long as we earn enough resources and other teams waste a lot of time focusing on places that are unlikely to succeed, we will naturally win."
"Moreover, if the resources are sufficient, after we divide our points, we may be able to get into the top ten as a team."
“Of course, it may not be possible for the entire group to be in the top ten, but it is probably possible for some of the people who have made great contributions to squeeze into the top ten.”
When everyone heard this, they thought it was true.
It seems the right approach to assume from the outset that all teams will not be able to find the ruins.
Moreover, if this is taken as the key strategy, it may not be impossible to allow some people in the team to enter the top ten in one fell swoop, allowing the team members to successfully counterattack.
Jiang Chaoqun coughed lightly and said:
"I think it's subjective and arrogant to assume from the outset that the chances of the remains being found are remote."
"The arrogance lies in thinking that human power is infinite and that tens of thousands of planets on the border stars have already been explored."
"In fact, I think all the planets with rich records can be abandoned for the time being, and the focus should be on those planets with very few records but very large numbers."
"As Xu Weilu said, a Heavenly Rank expert must have visited the secret place mentioned by Zhang and Lin, but he just didn't find it."
"This is inevitable! Because on the border planets, in order to defend against enemies that may attack at any time, the Heavenly Rank experts will not go out without reason, and will not explore the surrounding planets aimlessly!"
"They have limited time and are unable to do anything else, so they can only focus on those areas where there are abundant records but obvious problems."
"Only in this way can a Heavenly Rank strongman use it correctly."
"So, the more records there are, the less need there is to go there, because if there are dangers there that even Heavenly Rank experts cannot overcome, or if the possibility is considered extremely low, I think there is no need for us to waste our time."
"If you want to go, you must go to a planet that has very few records!"
"As for whether we can also acquire resources, I think it depends on Captain Li. If he thinks we have the spare capacity to accomplish it, then let's do it!"
"If he thinks we shouldn't be distracted, then we should focus on one thing and not be bothered by unnecessary things!"
Jiang Chaoqun's words were so powerful that everyone looked at him with admiration.
I didn't expect that the fat guy who looked like a rough man could have such analytical ability.
If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.
He combined the words of the above-mentioned people and made corresponding partial affirmations and partial denials. He neither offended anyone nor threw the question to Li Yi. Although it was not obvious in words, his statement that Li Yi was the main focus was indeed very direct.
All in all, he supported Li Yi very much and conveyed the message very well.
Li Yi secretly praised in his heart that Jiang Chaoqun was bold and careful, and was a man who knew how to handle situations.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Since the topic now turned to Li Yi, he didn't hesitate to say:
"Everyone has their own reasons."
"The future is uncertain, and no one is sure what direction it will take."
"But the only thing that is certain is the exploration records of our predecessors. Our decisions, no matter what, must be based on their data and then we take corresponding actions."
"If you act according to your guess, you might get lucky and actually come across a relic, but most likely, you won't gain anything."
“To believe in luck is to believe in the unknown.”
"Jiang Chaoqun is right. If we have enough time, we can explore those planets with few records one by one."
"But unfortunately, we only have two months. Even if we operate at the highest efficiency, we can only explore ten planets at most."
"Moreover, there will inevitably be some omissions, and suspicious locations will be ignored because the uncertainty is too high."
"So purely exploring planets with few records is not the best approach. Denied."
Jiang Chaoqun did not have any complaints and immediately said, "Captain Li is right! I was not thoughtful enough!"
Li Yi did not interrupt and continued: "Xu Weilu's idea is understandable."
“But if we focus on resource exploration, it may not be easy.”
"First, it is unknown whether the resources discovered are valuable enough. There is a high probability that they are only worth tens or hundreds of billions of star coins."
"I don't think these values are worth investing such a high level of resources to achieve them."
"Secondly, high-value items are basically highly related to the ruins. If we want to explore various mining sites, then who among you is a prospecting expert? Can you lead us to find high-value mining sites?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xu Weilu.
Xu Weilu immediately looked embarrassed and said, "I have done some research, but I am still far from being called a prospecting expert."
Li Yi said: "Then, are you sure you can lead us to find a high-value mining site?"
Xu Weilu immediately shook her head: "I can't do it. The idea I proposed is just that I think this strategy is more feasible, but whether we can take down a high-value mining site can only be determined by collective efforts."
Li Yi nodded and continued:
"Although Instructor Zhang's thinking is correct, his judgment process is problematic."
"Just as Xu Weilu and Jiang Chaoqun said, a Heavenly Rank expert must have paid attention to Binglongchuan, and there is absolutely no doubt about this."
As he spoke, he clicked on the light screen, switched the pages, pointed out different lines and said, "Here, and there, the records in various places are obviously supplemented by the original records after the Heavenly Rank experts checked them."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaohu was slightly surprised and asked, "These comments are unsigned. How do you know they were left by a Heavenly Rank expert? Although they do look like sentences added afterwards, they could also be left by other exploration teams, right?"
Li Yi said:
"You can take a closer look at the description of Binglongchuan, 'running a thousand miles, frozen for ten thousand miles'. Many records mentioned the phrase 'running a thousand miles' to describe the length of Binglongchuan, but never mentioned its specific depth."
"Only this line of annotation specifically adds the term 'thousands of miles of ice'. But it's only a thousand miles away, so where does the term 'thousands of miles of ice' come from?"
"It means ten thousand miles is the depth, the freezing depth is five thousand kilometers."
"Then think about it, apart from the Heavenly Rank experts who can detect the specific depth of freezing, can the information collection system of a normal upper-level mecha master have such detection strength?"
Several people nodded.
Liang Zhishen said: "I am also very close to the limit of the upper evolutionary, and I have generated 25 divine mechas. If the relevant records of Binglongchuan are true, then I can probably only use the information detection system to explore the freezing depth of 500 to 1,000 kilometers."
Others have their own estimates, but no one can do this right now.
In this regard, the fact that the Heavenly Rank powerhouses had explored the Ice Dragon River is basically confirmed.
Zhang Pengting smiled bitterly and said, "Since this Heavenly Rank expert has explored it himself, why doesn't he say that even a Heavenly Rank expert would have difficulty exploring the Ice Dragon River?"
Li Yi said: "From this annotation, it seems that this Heavenly Rank expert is probably ashamed to leave his name, so he wrote it very concisely."
"But in fact, if we take the time to trace the source of the data and the specific records of the expedition, as long as we have enough authority, we will definitely be able to find out which Heavenly Rank expert conducted the exploration."
Everyone also agreed with Li Yi's statement.
Seeing that everyone had accepted it, Li Yi continued, "I admire Instructor Lin's thinking and focus this time. In fact, my original goal was also Planet 33."
After listening to Li Yi’s clear and logical refutation of everyone’s theories one by one, Lin Huiyi felt a little nervous.
Now it was her turn, and she couldn't help but point out some omissions in her ideas in her mind.
But when he heard Li Yi say this, he was shocked and looked up at Li Yi.
"The original goal?"
Li Yi nodded: "Yes, I also think this mining planet is very suspicious, and there is indeed a regional ban on speaking."
"However, the report submitted by the Zheng family is rather vague and clearly intends to cover up the truth of the incident."
"Therefore, I also found some information to verify it."
"The conclusion is clear, that is, there are indeed regional taboos."
Lin Huiyi asked quickly: "You are so sure about what you said, have you found any solid evidence?"
"certainly."
Li Yi smiled, tapped the light screen page with his finger, operated it, and displayed several reports in front of everyone.
"These six reports are detailed reports on mining disasters submitted by the Zheng family in recent decades."
"We can see that similar reports occur every 5-7 years."
"The reasons reported vary. There have been reports of strange underground beasts appearing, landslides, earthquakes, storms... There are all kinds of reasons, and none of them are repeated."
"The death toll each time is exactly in the range of 10 to 20 people."
"Then, here is the specific death list."
"I spent a lot of time investigating the deceased people, and found that these people were not ordinary absentees."
When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.
"Is it an Evolver?"
"That's right." Li Yi nodded.
Lin Huiyi was even more surprised: "I'm not surprised that you can get the death list, but how did you find the specific identity information among such a huge crowd? I remember the information on the list is very simple, right?"
