Chapter 197 Departure

The departure time was set for the day after the ceremony.

Originally, Li Yi planned to go back to the Yao Chi ship first to let Zhang Jingyu prepare some nutrients for him after he took over.

Now that He Guangzhi has made such arrangements, he simply made a quantum long-distance communication and let Zhang Jingyu remotely detect the body data and then prepare new medicine.

Then choose the interstellar mail service to send the medicine to Earth.

Li Yi has already asked He Guangzhi about the receiving point, and he can choose to send it to the Qinling Base on Earth.

Because that is the permanent base of the Border Star Garrison Corps on Earth, and He Guangzhi has many acquaintances there, making it convenient for him to receive them after his arrival.

The Yao Chi ship's permanent base on Earth is Kunlun Base, and you can also choose to send it there.

However, the starship Li Yi is going to take now comes from the Border Star Garrison Corps, so he doesn't need to bother two masters.

In addition, the top ten of the competition also received corresponding requirements from He Guangzhi, and they needed to set off together to avoid staying too long and causing more problems.

Unfortunately, Li Yi had not yet waited for He Guangzhi's investigation results on Zhang Junyan.

Otherwise, he would be really curious about what he could find according to his speculation.

…

Before setting off, Li Yi went to the military merit library to exchange for a wave of high-quality resources.

After all, the military merits he had were already more than many high-level mecha masters might not be able to earn in their entire lives, so they had to be spent and converted into resources for cultivation.

First of all, you can choose any three A-level divine nuclei, which is very good. You can take a closer look.

Nine entries immediately appeared on the screen.

Seeing this, Li Yi was slightly stunned. So few? With this number, can it still be called optional? He glanced over and saw that they were basically all in the order of alien gods. They must have been spoils of war obtained from previous battles between the border planets and aliens.

It can be seen that there were at least ten powerful aliens killed on the border line.

Including those exchanged or captured intact, the number is probably quite considerable.

I just don't know how much information these alien powerful people have extracted.

However, according to the previous conversation with Mu Tianlei, most of the information that can be obtained is limited to the Tu clan. As for information outside the Tu clan, they intentionally conceal it and rarely involve it.

Li Yi's thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he looked at the list, skipping the detailed introduction and mainly looking at the characteristics and the level of the divine mecha it was taken from.

Friction characteristics, taken from the 148-meter mecha; softening characteristics, taken from the 154-meter mecha; light particle characteristics, taken from the 148-meter mecha; fantasy color characteristics, taken from the 162-meter mecha; cutting characteristics, taken from the 164-meter mecha; long rainbow characteristics, taken from the 164-meter mecha; gravity characteristics, taken from the 165-meter mecha; virtual image characteristics, taken from the 166-meter mecha.

Basically, the tallest ones are no more than 170 meters high, which is Class A.

It seems that these divine mechas suitable for the first and second stages of the Heavenly Realm are mostly just high-level cannon fodder for the aliens.

In terms of price, the starting price is 50,000 yuan per core, and the price of a divine core with the highest virtual image characteristics is 78,000 yuan.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yi used the three reward exchange quotas on the divine nuclei corresponding to the cutting characteristics, gravitational characteristics, and virtual image characteristics.

Then, he used his military achievements to exchange for divine nuclei corresponding to the three properties of friction, light particles, and phantom colors.

It's just right to use the exchange quota to exchange for higher-value ones, and then pay for the cheaper ones yourself.

This part cost 164,000 military merits.

Unfortunately, the other A-level cores either had conflicting characteristics or were not powerful enough, so he chose not to exchange them.

Moreover, he has accumulated enough characteristics so far, and he also needs to consider the issue of internal coordination so that the characteristics can achieve an effect of 1+1+1 greater than 10.

The last one was the B-level divine weapon. He thought for a long time and decided to exchange it for a B-level Zanloudao and mount it on the waist slot, which could be used together with the Zanpakuken.

Of course, these two divine weapons are both a hundred meters long, so he also needs to arrange a wave of upgrades for the divine mechas.

It is best to find a B-level upgrade pool and upgrade to the top of B-level in one go.

It’s a pity that after asking around, I found out that the upgrade pool on the border star has not yet reached the open cycle, so we can only hope to complete it in the ruins on Earth.

…

At the starship hangar, Li Yi and his group, including Lei Guangyao, Ning Feiyu, Lin Xiu, Long Jinchan and others also arrived one after another.

Li Yi looked around but couldn't find He Qiongying.

Just as he was wondering, he glanced and found that He Qiongying had mixed in with the logistics staff, dragging a suitcase, wearing a uniform, and boarding the starship with several logistics girls beside her, chatting and laughing.

Li Yi nodded secretly in his heart. He Qiongying's disguise skills were pretty good. She had restrained her heavenly aura very well. Apart from her outstanding looks and temperament, her aura gave people the feeling of being more of a non-evolved person.

But it’s okay that he has outstanding appearance and temperament, because this is a garrison corps after all, where elites and experts gather.

Many logistics personnel come from good backgrounds, and their outstanding appearance and temperament are just a common feature. If someone really wants to deal with them, this temperament will not arouse suspicion. Instead, it is like water flowing in a stream or trees in the jungle, which is easy to conceal.

Here, Teng Juli, Zhang Pengting, Lin Xiaohu and others who parted ways with the others, as well as the other top ten friends, also came to see them off.

Teng Juli walked up to Li Yi, hugged him, and said affectionately: "Li Yi, I am very happy to have fought side by side with you, who is destined to be a great hero of the Federation in the future. I hope you will not stop your pace of chasing the wind and lightning, and continue to climb to the top until you become a true pillar of mankind."

This man, who usually doesn't talk much, rarely showed a hint of reluctance.

It seems that he also realized that after this separation, the gap between them might become larger and larger, until it lasts forever.

Li Yi patted Teng Juli on the shoulder and said, "Brother Teng, wait for the right time like water flowing, accumulate strength and then break through the dust. You are the type of person who will achieve success late. With your persistence, I believe that sooner or later you will be able to ride the wind and turn into a dragon. Don't set limits for yourself."

Zhang Pengting and Lin Xiaohu did not step forward, but just nodded silently to Li Yi, then stood up straight, put their palms vertically to their foreheads, and saluted.

Li Yi also returned the military salute.

…

The star gate is just a few hundred light seconds away, and it doesn't take much time to fly over there.

However, the Earth's star gate has been banned from passage, and direct access is only possible at special times or on special routes.

To travel from the border star to the Earth ruins, you need to go to the Neptune Star Gate first before you can change course and fly directly to the target.

Once you reach the Earth's periphery, you will need to pass the three-day inspection and waiting period at the lunar fortress before you can fly to the Earth.

After flying to the outer edge of the earth, you must undergo a comprehensive entry inspection by the cruise ship to confirm your identity, authority, quarantine, soul, etc. Only when everything is clear can you enter the earth.

The whole process is quite complicated and rigorous.

It can be seen that the earth’s interior must contain some of the most important things for human beings.

At this moment, the small starship was like a flashing snail, flying slowly between the star gates in the border galaxy.

In terms of the size of the starship, it is indeed as small as a snail compared to the stargate and the planet.

Inside the ship, He Qiongying, who was disguised as a medic, and Li Yi happened to meet in the corridor.

On the other side of the corridor is a specially made organic tempered glass. Through this glass boat, you can see the vast, boundless, dark and endless outer space.

At this time, He Qiongying remained calm and whispered:

"There are still ten minutes before the star gate transmission. Why are you hanging around here instead of going to sleep?"

"I have nothing to do, so I came here to see the beautiful scenery."

He Qiongying said in disbelief: "You little fox, you clearly don't trust my protection."

Although she said this, she habitually added a hint of teasing to her voice.

Li Yi laughed and said, "Of course I can't trust you. But since someone is targeting me, I'd better be careful. My physical condition is still OK now. I believe I can survive the overload of the star gate transmission without hibernation."

The space-time distortion load generated during stargate transmission will be partially offset by a layer of special material on the outer layer of the starship; there is a gravity generating device inside that can reverse the load and also partially offset it.

When transporting regular personnel, there are hibernation capsules and the spiritual nutrient solution inside to offset part of the force.

This is the only way to allow living beings to successfully pass through the star gate.

However, if one has a heavenly physique, he can withstand these loads without hibernation.

Of course, if a physical body were to pass through, even a celestial being would be torn into atoms.

Li Yi has been tested and found that after condensing the 21st divine gene, his basic physique has completely reached the threshold of the heavenly level.

Combined with my own explosive skills, I believe it will be no problem to bear the load inside the starship.

In response, He Qiongying frowned and said, "You are so arrogant just after entering the upper position? To bear the load of the star gate transmission, if you don't have a physique of the heavenly level, don't even think about it."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chief He, I will find a way to solve it. Although I am young, I am not stupid and I will not joke with my life."

He Qiongying stared at Li Yi's eyes for a long time before reluctantly saying, "Okay, then I'll just believe what you said for now, as the first place winner of the Youth Mecha Master Competition. If you feel unwell during the teleportation, you must enter the hibernation cabin immediately!"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Of course."

He Qiongying said, "Then continue to walk around. Before entering the star gate, remember not to be too far away from the hibernation capsule."

It can be seen that He Qiongying is still very responsible. Li Yi smiled and agreed.

…

Li Yi became more vigilant, but he didn't expect that nothing happened throughout the whole process.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When he recovered from the strange load state of star gate transmission, a long time passed and there was really no accident at all, which really surprised him.

But it’s better this way, so that we won’t be forced to die together when being teleported through the star gate.

Moreover, it is probably because their early defenses were strong enough that there was no room for cults to intervene, which is a good thing.

This also gave Li Yi time to think about other issues.

Because this was his first time experiencing star gate teleportation while awake, and it was somewhat different from his previous experience of feeling the outside world in the dream plains.

After all, he had been staying in the hibernation capsule before, and the load he could pass down was very small.

Moreover, inside the hibernation capsule, the perspective of external perception is too narrow, and it is impossible to feel in detail the corresponding changes in divinity that occur when jumping inside the star gate.

Of course, this was not his first time to experience time and space jump up close.

Before that, he also used the long-range detection system of the Pluto mecha to observe the entire process of the jump to the northern ruins.

"This kind of time-space jump load is really amazing."

"Unfortunately, the knowledge of time and space is very mysterious. Even the southern ruins do not have the relevant knowledge spire."

Moreover, after the physical body had just endured the burden of time and space, it actually had some effect on the absorption stimulation of divinity.

The four fragments of the immortality nucleus hanging on his body and the divine radiation released by more than twenty extremely hard divine nucleus fragments increased the absorption efficiency several times at that moment of high load, which was also amazing.

Unfortunately, the high efficiency is only for a short while. Once you leave the star gate, the high efficiency suddenly disappears.

…

Time passed in a blink of an eye and it was 17 hours later.

At this time, the starship Li Yi and his crew were on had been at the Neptune Star Gate for some time and was currently passing by Mars.

It is estimated that there is only about an hour left to reach the lunar fortress.

There was no movement along the way, and there was no sign of any opponent chasing after them.

Could it be that the cult saw that their defense was tight this time, so they simply didn't plan to start with him?

Here, Li Yi, Liang Zhishen and others were standing on the gravity generator in the training ground, doing basic exercises.

Liang Zhishen whispered, "I say, this journey has been a little too quiet, hasn't it? Didn't we previously inform you that there might be a risk of a cult attack during this trip?"

Xu Weilu also said: "That's right. The quieter I am now, the more nervous I am. I dare not relax at all. I have dark circles under my eyes."

Tan Haode shook his head and said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. We have received rewards and honors, but we must also bear corresponding risks. In addition, many strong people have been arranged around us to protect us, so there is no need to worry so much."

Jiang Chaoqun said:

"Tan Haode is right. Don't worry about it. You can see that I have been sleeping soundly these past few days. I am not worried at all. Anyway, as long as we enter the Earth Ruins, there is no need to worry about any evil cults."

"I bet the cult wouldn't dare come."

As he was speaking, the alarm suddenly started beeping.

"Alert, alert, four starships are flying at high speed around Mars. The enemy detection has failed. The distance is 10 light seconds. All divine mecha operators, please quickly enter the mecha hangar, start the mecha, and be ready to attack at any time!"

"Alert, alert, eight B-class and two A-class are flying out of the enemy starship quickly!"

"Attention, there are two A-class mechas!"

When they heard about the two A-class mechas, everyone's faces changed instantly.

The cult was so powerful that even the A-level was dispatched? Although they could understand that to deal with a group of people like them, the cult would definitely not dispatch conventional forces, but would definitely dispatch a crushing force.

But even so, when they heard about the two A-class machines, everyone was still a little surprised and confused.

If there is one machine, there is still a chance to counterattack, but if there are two machines, it will be difficult.

Are there any heavenly people among the people who were arranged to protect them this time? At this time, Li Yi said, "Don't panic, listen carefully, the height of the A-level is only about 160 meters, and the strength is not very strong."

"We may not be able to withstand the A-class mecha. Ning Feiyu and I can suppress one A-class together. As for the other A-class, Lei Guangyao and Lin Xiu can also resist one together. Add in the other mecha masters who come to protect us, and I believe that it will not be difficult to deal with them with everyone's strength."

As they were talking, everyone became less worried and quickly entered the mecha hangar and climbed onto their respective divine mechas.

Li Yi did not mention the existence of He Qiongying because he had agreed with He Qiongying before not to reveal her existence as the only heavenly rank for the time being.

She would wait in another hangar for the right moment to strike, guard against possible traitors, and deal with other possible accidents on the field.

As long as the battlefield does not become truly one-sided, her mecha will be hidden in a secret hangar as her last trump card.

Moreover, among the other mecha warriors who were arranged in as protection, there are also several good players who can help deal with this situation.

At the same time, Ning Feiyu, Lei Guangyao and others also arrived at the mecha hangar.

Li Yi saw Ning Feiyu and immediately shouted from afar:

"Ning Feiyu, two A-level machines, you and I will team up to suppress one later!"

"Lei Guangyao, you and Lin Xiu hold the other one!"

The few people did not think too much about it. Li Yi was the strongest in the whole venue. Since he made such arrangements, they would just listen to him for now. There was no better way anyway.

The other people that Li Yi named were naturally not chosen randomly.

They are all top players with strong skills and tactics and excellent combat awareness. Although they cannot defeat the A-level together, they should have no problem holding on for a short while.

After all, this time the A-level opponent is only about 160 meters away. Although there are B-level assistants, they also have other teammates. The current lineup is definitely worth fighting.

…

Outside the starship, more than a dozen divine mechas, with flames flickering behind them, quickly shot out of the warehouse like bullets.

The Pluto Mecha and the Yueyin Mecha rushed out first, drew an arc, and quickly approached the A-level divine mecha flying in front.

Behind them, Lei Guangyao's Thunder Mecha and Lin Xiu's Evil Ghost Mecha were also catching up quickly.

During the flight, Ning Feiyu said in a deep voice:

"Li Yi, even if you and I join forces to defeat the A-class mecha, it is nothing but a pipe dream. Are you sure that only the two of us can deal with this A-class mecha? If there is a lack of a strong front line in the rear, there will be the danger of being defeated continuously!"

"Although we can handle it temporarily, the risk is still very high in the future! Is there a master of heaven in our ship?"

Li Yi said: "Don't worry, you just need to help me withstand the opponent's first wave of attacks and create an opportunity for me to attack."

Hearing this, Ning Feiyu understood that Li Yi was confident that he could break through the defense in an instant.
