After Lin Tao calmed down, he found that the chill from the sea water was inexplicably familiar. His face sank and he stretched out his hand to scoop up a handful of sea water and looked at it carefully.

The clear sea water was revealing a faint red glow. Upon closer inspection, these red glows were actually countless red threads that were difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye.

If Lin Tao had not taken genetic enhancement drugs to enhance his five senses, he would probably have needed a magnifying glass to see it.

Looking at these red threads, his expression changed again.

After a while, Lin Tao recovered his composure, dispersed the water in his hands, and walked to the wreckage of the robots. These underwater robots were only twice as big as humans, not much different from Lin Tao's current strong physique.

At this time, Lowe and the two miners also came over braving the icy sea water.

The two miners were fine as they often took baths in sea water, so they didn't feel anything about the cold. But Lowe was already shivering all over from the cold sea water.

"Master Lin, this is the robot." The miner who used to run a building materials store pointed at the wreckage of a robot.

Lin Tao stepped forward and looked in the direction he was pointing.

Catch the eye.

Sure enough, there were several strange gaps on one side of the robot's wreckage. The spacing between these gaps had an obvious pattern, and each gap was surprisingly consistent.

"This is..." Seeing these gaps, Lin Tao's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression changed suddenly.

"Brother Lin——"

Seeing Lin Tao's appearance, Luo Wei couldn't help but shout, but before he could speak, Lin Tao had already reached out to stop him from coming over: "Go back, don't come over."

Lowe was stunned, and the two miners were even more shocked.

Lin Tao turned around and trotted back to the shore. When the three saw him, they also turned back in panic, as if an unknown beast was following them.

Only after returning to the shore did the three of them look back, but the sea was still as calm as before, with no changes.

The two miners looked at each other, but did not dare to ask Lin Tao.

Lowe's eyes flashed. After coming to the mining planet, he was considered a person of status. Naturally, he understood that people of different levels had different perspectives. Just like the contact surface of the miners, there was a huge gap between him and the leader of the miners, who could control a miner with just a few words.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he remembered Lin Tao's previous words. He swallowed and looked at Lin Tao: "Brother Lin, is there a monster in this sea?"

When the two miners heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, because they had been bathing in the sea. If there really were monsters, they would become the monsters' food the moment they appeared.

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

What Lowe said was true. There were indeed monsters at the bottom of the Dead Sea, and they were not ordinary monsters.

That's a star monster!

In Lin Tao's later memory, the star monsters did not appear in the universe until the eight major families split and fought with the Interstellar Federation for hundreds of years, until the mysterious star creatures appeared.

This monster can survive in the starry sky. Its armor is as solid as a rock. Ordinary shells are useless against it. Even laser cannons must use the muzzle of a starry ship to penetrate it.

It can be said that the emergence of star monsters has an impact on humans that is no less than the impact of star creatures that put humans in a life-and-death situation.

Fortunately, not all space monsters are threatening to humans.

Some star monsters can understand human language and even respond to human actions.

There are also some space monsters that, although threatening to humans, also have great uses for humans, just like the "shadow" on Mingyuan Star at this moment. Once they are used, they can even greatly enhance the strength of humans.

After heavy casualties, humans no longer understood the star monsters, and gradually formed a separate course specifically for identifying and dealing with star monsters.

Many materials for later mechas were taken from these star monsters, so that later mechas also showed diversity. They were no longer like the pure mechanical mechas of today, which could be mass-produced at any time.

Ancient martial arts mechas, neural circuit mechas, and even the most powerful optical circuit mechas of later generations, mostly use the remains of these star monsters as materials. This is why Lin Tao feels it is difficult to produce neural circuit mechas in this era.

If Lin Tao wants to fully unleash the power of a future mecha master, he needs to have at least one neural circuit mecha.

Based on the red threads in the sea water and the bite marks left by the underwater robot, Lin Tao has basically confirmed the true identity of the sea monster.

This space monster has a name, called "Kongli". It is a bug-like space monster with a strange appearance. It has armor as hard as diamond. It has a huge body and ordinary weapons are ineffective against it.

Fortunately, compared with ordinary star monsters, the size of star monsters like Kongli is almost as different as heaven and earth, so they can be dealt with easily by using laser cannons with larger calibers.

only--

Suddenly, Lin Tao's face sank again, and his heart sank as well.

Kongli is a kind of space monster that lives in groups. The number of each group of this space monster is at least several hundred or even thousands. In other words, there are at least nearly a thousand Kongli at the bottom of the Dead Sea.

This is only the premise of having only one group. If there are two or three groups, this number will increase further.

The bottom of the Dead Sea has enough space to accommodate at least three groups of people.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao couldn't help but say something strange. At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the ocean ahead.

Whoosh! A cold wind blew by.

The wind was cold, even icy, making people feel as if they had fallen into a freezing winter.

However, no matter how hard the wind blew, it could not create waves on the sea.

"Those of you who often bathe in the sea, have there been any people who disappeared inexplicably?" Suddenly, Lin Tao turned his head and asked the two miners.

The two miners saw the change in Lin Tao's expression and shivered in the cold wind. When Lin Tao asked them questions, they didn't have time to open their mouths because their teeth were already chattering and making a rattling sound.

"Lin... Lord Lin, we... we..."

Fortunately, another miner spoke clearly: "Master Lin, I heard from time to time that some miners disappeared, but we all thought they were attacked by others. Now that I think about it, they seem to be people who often go to the beach to take a bath."

The miners came to the mining planet with only one purpose, which was to earn enough money so that they could return to their normal life on the planet. However, some people earned too much and could not control their mouths. They kept showing off in front of others, which naturally attracted others' conspiracy.

So when these people disappeared, no one would think of anywhere else. Now that Lin Tao mentioned it, the two suddenly realized that most of these disappeared people were people who liked to take a bath at the beach like them.

"Lin... Lord Lin... are there really... real monsters in this sea?"

Lin Tao let out a long sigh: "If you can make a lot of money from mining, I advise you not to save the money for taking a bath."

The two miners nodded vigorously, like chicks pecking at rice.

Lowe's heart also tightened.

It has been more than a day since leaving the Eighth District. I don’t know whether Zheng Cheng and the others have entered the starry sky. While thinking about it, Lin Tao raised his hand, opened his watch, and looked up Zheng Cheng’s communication.

Beep~beep~ Fortunately, Zheng Cheng’s communication can still be connected.

"Lin Tao, what's the matter?"

Nowadays, there are not many people who dare to call Lin Tao by his name directly, only Zheng Tuo and Zheng Cheng. Even Bai Fan and the Du siblings have changed their way of addressing Lin Tao.

"Has the aerospace spacecraft taken off?" Lin Tao asked.

"Not yet. We are going to set off at night." Zheng Cheng laughed: "The mechas of the Wolf Star Pirates are all left here. I plan to transport them all back to Mingyuan Star."

Fang Bai was startled and asked quickly: "Do those God Wolf mechas have large-caliber laser cannons?"

"Yes, they are all 200mm caliber laser cannons."

"200mm laser cannon?" Fang Bai's eyes lit up. "Don't rush to transport the God Wolf mecha away. Have someone dismantle all the laser cannons immediately."

"What's going on?" Zheng Cheng was puzzled. After a pause, he said, "Lin Tao, these laser cannons cannot be disassembled. They are the built-in weapons of the God Wolf Mecha. Once they are disassembled, the entire God Wolf Mecha will be scrapped."

"Then let them all stay." Lin Tao said without question.

"Now, you must immediately arrange for the spacecraft to enter the starry sky and contact Mingyuan Star. In the shortest possible time, produce a batch of 200mm laser cannons, at least 500 in number. Also, have Zheng Tuo prepare more mecha divisions."

After a pause, Lin Tao lowered his voice again: "Ask Zheng Tuo to see if he can get another batch of medicinal materials. I need a mecha master with strong reaction ability."

Zheng Cheng was shocked. He also lowered his voice and couldn't help asking, "Lin Tao, are you in any big trouble?"

"It's a big problem. If I'm not careful, not only will Mineral Planet No. 5 be affected, but even Mingyuan Planet will be implicated. I need to solve it as quickly as possible before this problem arises."

Lin Tao's solemn tone made Zheng Cheng feel a chill rising from the soles of his feet and rushing straight to his mind.

"I understand." Zheng Cheng nodded repeatedly and asked again, "The improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang is still in the aerospace spacecraft. Do you want it to be transported to you first?"

There are only two types of improved weapons of Tianjia General. One relies on sharp edges, and the other relies on built-in machine guns. If used against Kongli, they are not very useful.

However, the Tianjia Shenjiang will be a humanoid machine capable of using handheld weapons.

"Okay, you can also bring me a large-caliber handheld laser cannon." Lin Tao nodded.
