It seems that my guess at that time was absolutely correct. The so-called collection was nothing more than converting the rest of the metals into black gold ore.

"Black gold ore, do we need to open a sub-time and space channel?" Without waiting for Lin Tao to speak, Zhuo, who was floating in the air beside him, suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

Zhuo also needed black gold ore, and in quite a large amount. The amount that Zhe gave him last time was just a drop in the bucket for him. So, after hearing what Zhe said, he immediately had an idea.

However, Zeng just ignored Zhuo's words.

"Lin Tao, you should have guessed it. The collection of black gold ore is just transferring a certain energy in the black hole into the metal. So if you want more black gold ore, you need to provide me with enough metal." The fierce metal ball said to Lin Tao.

Lin Tao nodded. There was not much on Mingyuan-2, but there was a lot of metal ores. In recent times, those metal processing factories had also produced a lot of metal raw materials.

I guess if we pull these over, we can probably convert them into a lot of black gold ore.

"Mechanical clan, why don't you answer my question?" Zhuo's stone ball suddenly flew in front of Zhe and roared loudly.

Obviously, it was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhe.

However, Zhe was even more dissatisfied with it because the two were not of the same race, and Zhe did not intend to reveal the secrets of the Mechanical Clan.

Seeing that Zhe did not respond, Zhuo became furious. The stone ball shook, and with a whoosh, a dazzling different-colored light suddenly appeared above the bridge.

"That is..." Lin Tao's pupils suddenly contracted.

"How is this possible!" Lu Mengchen also covered her mouth and screamed, her eyes full of disbelief.

As Zhuo's stone ball shook, a secondary space-time passage appeared in its original place, and bursts of different colored light emanated from it.

The entrance of this passage seemed to be controlled by Zhuo and always remained the size of a stone ball.

"You...how did you do it?" Zhe was also shocked.

Zhuo snorted coldly, the stone ball shook again, and the cave entrance disappeared immediately: "I need a batch of black gold ore. As long as you can help me collect it, I can help you once."

"..." Zhe fell into silence, and the light of the core sphere was radiated in a regular pattern, as if he was thinking.

Lin Tao frowned secretly and said nothing. Lu Mengchen kept covering her mouth lightly and also said nothing.

Lin Tao knew in his heart that Zhe would definitely agree, but at the moment he was thinking about how to maximize his own profits. After all, Zhe was a member of the mechanical clan.

As for whether the secret of their mechanical race would be exposed, it no longer matters, because in this way, Zhe can collect more black gold ore.

Now, the one who should be in a difficult situation is Lin Tao himself.

In this case, Zhe will definitely need a large amount of metal, otherwise it will be impossible to convert more black gold ore at one time. Moreover, Lin Tao also needs to think about how much black gold ore he can get from Zhe.

After all, all the metals that Zhe needed were provided by Lin Tao.

Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, Zhe asked calmly: "How much black gold ore do you need?"

"One hundred tons." Zhuo said calmly.

One hundred tons? Lin Tao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyelids twitched wildly.

The black gold ore that Zhe collected last time seemed to be quite large, but its total weight was less than half a ton, and this was the amount converted by two giant starry sky ships.

They actually wanted a hundred tons in one mouthful, so how much metal would they have to produce? Moreover, this was just a small matter. With Zhe's ability, could it really transform so much black gold ore at once? Lin Tao looked at Zhe.

Obviously, Zhe was also shocked by this amount. The light emitted from the core sphere was layer after layer. "One hundred tons is too much. With my ability, I can't convert such a large amount."

"I'll help you." Zhuo didn't give Zhe a chance to refuse: "Believe me, you can do it."

"This..." Zhe fell silent again.

At this time, Lin Tao couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Zhen, tell me, how much metal can you convert into black gold ore from a spaceship?"

The weight of a giant starry sky warship is in the tens of thousands of tons, but Zeng took away two giant starry sky warships and only transformed less than half a ton of black gold ore. One hundred tons of black gold ore may not be enough even if the entire Mingyuan star forces are gathered together. Therefore, Lin Tao asked first.

"Don't worry, you don't need to do anything in this regard." Zhuo replied in a deep voice.

Lin Tao was stunned, then his brows furrowed deeply.

"You're producing metal?" Zhe asked in surprise.

"I have my own way." Zhuo's tone was so irresistible that Zhe was stunned on the spot.

Even metal is not needed, so how much black gold ore can they get? Lin Tao frowned even more deeply.

Hoo! The high-speed ship finally arrived at Mingyuan Star No. 2. Zhe and Zhuo had reached an agreement. As soon as the ship arrived, they entered the starry sky together and left.

Apart from the crew members, only Lin Tao and Lu Mengchen were left on the ship.

Seeing Master Zhuo leaving, Lu Mengchen tilted his head and looked at Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, my master is gone, can you let me meet your friend?"

She emphasized the word "friend", as if she couldn't wait to see Xinya and see what she had become.

Seeing the half-smile on her face, Lin Tao nodded: "Okay, let's go over there."

"Are you really taking me there?" Lu Mengchen seemed unable to believe it.

Lin Tao did not answer, but pulled her towards Xinya. During this period, due to the transfer of Xinya, some things happened, which made Xinya unable to speak. Lu Mengchen had mental thinking ability, so perhaps she could help with this.

This was also the reason why Lin Tao was willing to let Lu Mengchen meet Xin Ya.

"Brother Lin."

"Brother Lin."

The two people guarding the door greeted Lin Tao respectfully when they saw him.

"Open the door." Lin Tao nodded.

One of them quickly took out an electronic card and swiped it lightly on the side of the door. With a "swish", the door lock opened.

Lin Tao stepped forward, opened the door, glanced at Lu Mengchen, and said, "Pay attention, Xinya's condition is very unstable now."

No matter how unstable it is, how unstable can it be? Lu Mengchen didn't take it to heart, and took a step forward, following Lin Tao into the cabin.

"Plop! Plop! " A sound like dripping water rang out in the cabin. Lu Mengchen turned his head suspiciously and looked over. He took a glance and was shocked on the spot.

It was something like a stalactite, dripping down drop by drop, which was a very strange situation.

However, there was a bright light inside the cabin, and Lu Mengchen could tell that it was not a real stalactite, but a piece of... slightly reddish meat hanging upside down on the ceiling of the cabin.

The pieces of meat were like stalactites, and with the dripping matter, Lu Mengchen didn't even dare to look at the ground, he just felt his stomach churning violently.

"Xinya, my name is Lin Tao. Is the environment here okay?" At this moment, Lin Tao asked. His voice was very calm, and it had a feeling that could make people calm down.

Hearing this voice, Lu Mengchen forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his stomach and looked over in the direction Lin Tao was looking.

Gulp! Gulp! Even though he had already made a promise in his heart, when Lu Mengchen saw the changes in Xinya's appearance, he still couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. That... is that really a person?

A pile of pale flesh with several bloody red lines on it was wriggling towards the two of them. The word "wriggling" was used because the flesh was wriggling like a worm.

Lu Mengchen took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, pressed it on her forehead, and covered her eyes at the same time. She didn't dare to look any further.

Xinya could still recognize Lin Tao's voice. The pieces of meat piled up little by little and soon turned into a human shape. However, although it turned into a human shape, Xinya could not make any sound and could only stand there stupidly.

"Lu Mengchen, isn't your brain spiritual? Can you communicate with her?" Lin Tao asked.

Communicate with her? Lu Mengchen finally opened her eyelids. Fortunately, after turning into a human form, Xinya's paleness had faded a lot, and she no longer looked like a pile of flesh, which made her calm down a lot.

"After she turned around, she seemed to have encountered some trouble and now she can't speak." Lin Tao explained patiently. It was for this reason that when Lu Mengchen proposed to come over to see Xin Ya, if Zhuo hadn't been there, Lin Tao would have agreed without hesitation.

Huh! Lu Mengchen let out a long breath. So that's how it was. After she understood, she also controlled her mentality. The thoughts in her mind fluctuated and emerged like ripples, falling on Xinya.

Are you communicating? Lin Tao looked at Lu Mengchen, and at the same time felt the brain waves she was emitting.

I have to say that the brain thought fluctuations that reached 14 points were much stronger than Lin Tao's 8 points. There was a faint feeling that he could transform.

But, can Lu Mengchen really communicate with Xin Ya?

Lin Tao had tried it before, but unfortunately the fluctuations in his mind caused Xin Ya to step back step by step. Not to mention communicating, Xin Ya was almost frightened to the point of being unable to form.

Now, Lu Mengchen's thought fluctuations not only failed to make Xinya retreat, but made the pieces of meat gather more.

They must be communicating. Lin Tao retracted his gaze and turned to look at Lu Mengchen. He really wanted to know why Xin Ya became like this.

At the beginning, in order to transfer her to the high-speed ship smoothly, Lin Tao found Zhe and let Zhe's memory metal simulate a cabin, and then transported her over.

However, no one knew what had changed, but Xinya had lost her voice and could no longer express her thoughts.
