However, not long after the message was sent, the captain gave him a new message: the West had agreed to cooperate with them, but the location of the mineral deposit had changed and was now in the same direction as Xia Ji and his group.
The cooperation has been initially agreed upon, and the two sides are still discussing some conditions for reaching an agreement, but the captain has already dispatched three warships to this side.
He sent Xia Ji the location of the mine provided by the West, instructing Xia Ji to head towards the location first and, ideally, to explore the surrounding area beforehand.
Although they finally obtained the mining rights to a solar energy mine, the West's agreement to cooperate was very sudden, so they should be careful.
Xia Ji marked the location of the mine and then pointed out the current location of Xia Qing and the others, who happened to be on the same line.
He connected all the dots, and although he couldn't quite grasp the key point, he was convinced that something must have happened.
After observing his surroundings, Li Ke finally noticed that the crystals on the edge had some unusual shapes. Many of the large crystals had holes drilled into them, and some crystals were shaped like they were easy to grip, making them convenient to use as mining tools. Moreover, they were clearly divided into two piles.
After thinking about it for a moment, she concluded that these must have been tools made by the workers.
She sank very slowly. If she exerted herself, she could take a couple of steps close to the ground. Her body was not restricted in any way, except that her feet seemed to be pulled downwards by a force, unable to lift up.
Li Ke casually picked up a large crystal from the side, reduced his strength, and punched the center of it. He didn't create the hole he wanted, but only some spiderweb-like cracks. This was not the effect Li Ke wanted.
She picked up another piece of crystal that fit her hand and continued to chisel and hammer at it. After more than ten minutes, she finally managed to create a barely usable crystal hole that could be used to store light energy ore.
Unable to get out downwards, Li Ke could only look for a way to survive by going down. Since the space could still collect things, he could make use of it. Until the very last moment, the outcome was still uncertain.
While Li Ke put away all the crystals that were in the way or might obstruct her view if she sank too deep, she searched for suitable crystals to make a box. She continued to break holes and placed the finished box next to her.
This actually accelerated Li Ke's descent, and Li Ke also discovered that while she couldn't go up, going down was effortless, showing that those below were truly welcoming her.
Li Ke no longer resisted. While collecting stones, he made tools. After finding the right force and method, his speed increased.
The spatial consciousness hadn't given her anything back yet. She had nothing to eat or drink, and couldn't just stand there being roasted alive. It would be better to go down and try to feed the space more light energy minerals, perhaps gathering some more power to fight against what was below.
There seemed to be something moving above. Li Ke looked up and saw something falling. Li Ke stood still, and just as the pieces were about to hit her, she casually used the crystal rod in her hand to deflect them.
The force wasn't great, and the objects weren't thrown very far. Li Ke took a closer look and realized they were human bones. Once the shower of bones stopped, everything returned to normal.
Li Ke didn't know what the situation was like up there, but to prevent them from sending more people down or causing more deaths, he had to speed things up.
A ship was sailing towards the base in the distance, carrying not only a large amount of food but also three exploration teams that were about to enter the solar energy mine.
This was an arrangement made by the white captain after receiving orders from his superiors. The response was swift; once they learned of the incident, they immediately decided to use it as a trading point for cooperation with China, thus shifting the risk to the Chinese side.
The bomb hasn't exploded yet, so the chances of it existing are much smaller, and they suspect it's a Chinese conspiracy.
But it doesn't matter. They're willing to give up this small mine. At the same time, they'll also give these Chinese a big gift, letting them know what it means to try to steal a chicken but lose the rice instead!
