"Do you really want to let them go?"
Looking at the people from the Divine Wolf Star Pirates and the eight major families boarding the spacecraft one after another, Xie Annan, who was standing next to Lin Tao, frowned secretly.
At the same time, he also recalled the conversation he had with Lin Tao at that time.
Hearing that Lin Tao was not an enemy of the Interstellar Federation, Xie Annan's furious heart calmed down. Lin Tao then assured him that he could hand over the design drawings of the K223 and the improved version of the Tianjia Shenjiang mecha to the Interstellar Federation. Xie Annan was tempted.
Having seen the power of K223 and the performance of the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang, Xie Annan understood that as long as he submitted the design drawings of these two aircraft to the Interstellar Federation, his status would no longer be threatened by the eight major families after he returned to the Interstellar Federation.
With these two machines, the Interstellar Federation naturally has the strength to compete with the eight major powers.
Xie Annan finally chose to compromise and decided to stay with Lin Tao for three years.
However, when he saw the members of the God Wolf Star Pirates leaving, his eyes were still a little complicated. After all, he was the leader of the Flying Dragon Star Pirates, and he only sent one-third of the mechas to enter the mining planet this time.
It is conceivable that without him, the Flying Dragon Star Pirates would be in chaos.
"What? Are you still planning to return to the Star Pirates' base?" Lin Tao asked with a chuckle when he saw his expression.
Xie Annan shook his head with a complicated look.
"Actually, after your identity is exposed, you can ask the people in the Flying Dragon Star Pirates how many people are willing to join our Mingyuan Star." Lin Tao said.
"Really?" Xie Annan's expression lit up, but soon dimmed again: "It's useless, they are all star pirates, and no one is optimistic about your Mingyuan Star."
It is for this reason that after learning about the situation on Mingyuan Star, the Star Pirates decided to come and take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit before the Interstellar Federation and the powerful forces deal with Mingyuan Star.
Lin Tao raised the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything else.
After all the surrendered space pirates and the surviving wealthy forces entered the aerospace spacecraft, Lin Tao ordered Zheng Cheng: "Let them leave."
Zheng Cheng nodded and stepped forward to give orders.
Without waiting for the spacecraft to take off, Lin Tao turned around and left, as he had another important matter to deal with.
When the Zhao family camp was destroyed, the Blood Wolf Gang also found the information there that had been purchased by the Zhao family geologist. However, since Lin Tao planned to deal with the wealthy forces on Mining Star No. 5 first, they temporarily slowed down their efforts.
Now, it's time to organize this information.
The Shadow-Forbidden Stone is the key item for Lin Tao to capture that shadow.
Seeing Lin Tao leave, Xie Annan frowned slightly, then followed him.
"Follow Zheng Cheng and settle your own affairs first before coming over." Seeing this, Lin Tao immediately operated on his watch and sent the two documents over.
These two documents are the complete design drawings of K223 and the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang. However, these two design drawings do not include the formula of the energy blocks.
"This is..." After operating the watch, Xie Annan saw the two complete mecha design drawings, and his expression suddenly changed. He looked up at Lin Tao in front of him in shock, his eyes flickering: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the drawings and leave directly?"
Lin Tao didn't care and laughed: "If you think the current mecha master is invincible in the Interstellar Federation, you can leave at any time."
K223 is a rather special machine. It requires at least a mecha pilot who has taken the No. 4 gene enhancement potion to unleash its strongest performance. The improved version of the Tianjia Shenjiang is even more special. Before the auxiliary chip is developed, it is extremely difficult to operate unless you have a mecha pilot with strength no less than Xie Annan.
Of course, even an SSS-class mecha master with a reaction like Xie Annan would need at least a year and a half to adapt.
What's more, without the new energy block formula, even if these two machines got the complete design drawings, they could only exert less than half of their power.
Xie Annan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and, following Lin Tao's words, stayed with Zheng Cheng.
After leaving Area No. 8, Lin Tao immediately asked the spacecraft to take him back to the Blood Wolf Gang headquarters.
As soon as he got back, Lin Tao immediately dove into the pile of information.
"Green stone powder."
Sure enough, according to this information, Lin Tao found the records related to the Shadow Prison Stone.
"Was it found in Area 4? Where is it?" Lin Tao quickly searched for relevant information. Suddenly, his pupils shrank. "Under the sea? It was found at a depth of more than 7,000 meters?"
This is a problem, as the seabed more than 7,000 meters deep is not accessible to ordinary people.
How did those people find the Shadow Prison Stone from the bottom of the sea?
Lin Tao was puzzled and searched through the documents again. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he could not find any relevant information.
In desperation, Lin Tao called Luo Wei over again.
"Brother Lin, are you looking for me?" In front of Lin Tao, Luo Wei stood straight and behaved very respectfully.
This is no wonder. Now Lin Tao's reputation has spread throughout the entire No. 5 mining planet. With one mecha, he not only destroyed a large number of the Star Pirates' mechas, but also killed all the main mechas of the Su family. Moreover, when the Su family's manager left on a spacecraft, he chased up and destroyed him with one blow.
This is not the point. It is said that Lin Tao later entered the space and sank the giant starry ships of the powerful forces one by one. After coming back, he exposed the true identity of Xie Annan, the leader of the Flying Dragon Star Pirates, and directly defeated this SSS-level mecha master recognized by the Interstellar Federation without any chance of fighting back.
This is a truly powerful person! In front of such a powerful person, how could Lowe dare to smile as before?
"Is there an ocean in area number 4?" Lin Tao asked.
Not to mention entering the mining planet, even when the aerospace spacecraft left and returned to mining planet No. 5, Lin Tao was unable to detect the existence of the ocean on the mining planet, so he asked Lowe.
"Yes, there is an ocean in Area 4. It is the only ocean on the entire Mineral Planet 5." Lowe nodded quickly and replied. When he mentioned the ocean, he looked suspicious again: "Brother Lin, that ocean is very strange. It is difficult to find it if you look at it from a high altitude."
"Oh?" Lin Tao was stunned.
"That's right. Although the ocean is extremely deep, the color of the water is not much different from the surface of the mining planet. So if you look at it from high up in the sky, you will think it is just a vast land. Only when you go there in person can you discover the existence of the ocean."
"When this mining planet was first discovered, many mecha masters were trapped in the ocean for this reason, and many even died."
Lowe explained.
Lin Tao frowned slightly: "How did you find the green stone powder from that ocean?"
"Hmm?" After saying this, Lowe was stunned. He thought for a long time: "Was the green stone powder found from that ocean?"
This Lowe didn't even know that the Shadow Prison Stone was salvaged from that ocean?
Lin Tao was also stunned.
Fortunately, seeing his expression, Lowe quickly explained: "Brother Lin, I actually don't know where the green stone powder comes from, but if it was really salvaged from that ocean, it would be a bit troublesome."
"What do you mean?" Lin Tao asked repeatedly.
As if he remembered something horrible, Lowe quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "I heard that after we discovered that ocean, we immediately sent nearly 200 underwater robots into it, but these robots seemed to have encountered something strange, and in the end, less than ten of them were able to return. If the green stone powder was really salvaged from that ocean, then the ones who brought it back must have been those underwater robots that were able to return."
Lin Tao's expression changed slightly. After his eyes flickered for a moment, he asked again, "Has no one entered the water?"
"We dispatched two submarines, but unfortunately, they disappeared mysteriously after diving. They couldn't even send out a message and completely lost contact with us." When Lowe mentioned these things, he felt a little scared.
Lin Tao nodded secretly. In fact, after knowing that there was a special substance called Shadow Prison Stone on the seabed, he also understood what was going on.
If part of the shadow-prison stone on the seabed turns into powder, then once the underwater robots and submarines go down, they will inevitably be covered by it. After being covered, although the instruments can still be used, they will be cut off from the outside world.
At this time, if there are other terrifying creatures in the seabed, they will never come back.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao calmly asked again: "Where are those underwater robots that came back now?"
"Some of the usable ones were put back into the sea, but none of the underwater robots that were put back into the sea have ever come back." Lowe said, "There are also a few that have been scrapped and have been left on the beach. After so many years, I don't know if they are still there."
Lin Tao frowned secretly, and the information about the No. 5 mining star in later generations suddenly emerged in his mind again.
This mining planet was discovered in the year 1800 of the Federation calendar, only about a hundred years later than Mingyuan Star. Now it is the year 1993 of the Federation calendar, a difference of nearly two hundred years. With the previous technology of the Interstellar Federation, even if those underwater robots were still there, they should have corroded into rust powder.
Suddenly, Lin Tao's heart moved: "Is there anyone who can go directly into the sea?"
"Yes, the miners are digging all day long and their bodies are dirty. How can they feel comfortable without taking a shower? Even the water we use for washing is brought back from there," Lowe replied.
"Have you found any abnormal creatures in the sea?" Lin Tao frowned secretly.
"Marine life? No." Lowe shook his head and explained, "Over the years, no one has ever seen any living creatures in that sea. Many people suspect that there are no other creatures in that sea except plants."
Lin Tao was stunned.
