Chapter 310 Obsidian Magnet
Ning Xuan suppressed her mental power level to the peak level of Class B. The recruits were generally at Class B and Class A, so Ning Xuan's mental power condition did not attract the attention of others.
After Ning Xuan was forced to fight two times, no one came to trouble her anymore. However, more and more people came to her in the name of making friends. Most of them were attracted by Ning Xuan's strength and wanted to make friends with him.
Seeing that Ning Xuan ignored them, those people wanted to start with Wang Qing. When Wang Qing was alone, he was blocked in the restaurant and even the bathroom. They put forward conditions and even threatened to exchange beds with him.
Although Wang Qing was timid and cowardly, he still had some opinions of his own. Even if he was beaten, he refused to exchange beds with others.
When Ning Xuan saw the wound on Wang Qing's face, she quickly understood what had happened. From then on, Ning Xuan never refused Wang Qing's request to follow her when she went in and out.
On this day, the starship slowly slowed down and the broadcast on board announced that it had reached its destination, marking the end of the voyage.
Ning Xuan stepped out of the cabin and saw a pitch-black environment in front of her. Through the lights from the starship, she could see that the place was very desolate.
"This is the outermost S-class resource star in the fringe star field. The resources on this planet are abundant, but the environment is harsh. There are often extreme weather such as magnetic storms, lightning and hurricanes, as well as invasions by high-level star beasts, making resource extraction difficult. The main purpose of our coming here is to assist in resource extraction." Wang Qing saw Ning Xuan had been looking at the environment outside and immediately explained to her.
"Have you studied the information of this planet before coming here?" Ning Xuan asked.
The homework Ning Xuan did in advance was mainly to get an identity that was reasonable and legal and not easy to be discovered. She did not specifically investigate anything else in advance. After all, the more she did, the more traces she would leave behind.
Ning Xuan rarely asks questions on her own initiative. Wang Qing was very excited when she asked, "I have studied it. Although I was unlucky and was assigned here, I still want to go back alive, so I spent some effort to investigate the situation here."
"This planet is rich in obsidian magnets. This stone is a necessary carrier for making super energy shields. It is expensive and very important. It has always been an important strategic resource controlled by the federal military. According to my investigation, it is said that the entire planet is full of obsidian magnets, but they are scarce in some places and dense in others."
"The reason why this planet often experiences extreme weather such as magnetic storms and lightning is because of the influence of magnetite mines and star power tides. Now is the time when there are the least magnetic storms, so we are asked to come here at this time. By the time we adapt to the environment on the planet, it will be almost the most difficult time." Wang Qing said, feeling depressed and sighing.
"Everyone line up, follow me when I call your name." An officer in military uniform with colonel epaulettes on his shoulders shouted loudly outside.
"Those who were picked have all arranged good relationships in advance. They will be arranged to live in relatively safe areas, and their accommodation conditions and other aspects will be better than ours." Wang Qing quietly approached Ning Xuan and said.
Sure enough, everyone whose name was called was arrogant and full of superiority, looking at these new recruits as if they were cannon fodder.
When Ning Xuan was distracted, Wang Qing nudged her with his elbow, "Ning Zhi, I'm calling you."
Ning Xuan was not very familiar with this new name, so she didn't react when she heard this name just now. It was not until she was poked by Wang Qing that she reacted.
Although Ning Xuan's name was called, she did not go with the team because this spot was given to her by someone else. That person had tried to approach her several times on the starship, but was rejected by Ning Xuan every time. This time, Ning Xuan still rejected that person's "kindness".
After this group of new recruits with connections were picked out, all the remaining soldiers were randomly assigned. Ning Xuan and Wang Qing were assigned to Area 11.
After Ning Xuan arrived at the military base in Area 11, she found that the military base was located underground. She entered the transport elevator, which descended very quickly, taking a full four minutes. According to Ning Xuan's estimation, it descended about several hundred meters.
Ning Xuan held the armrest tightly. The slight swelling and pain in her eardrum caused by the change in air pressure made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The concrete walls surrounding the elevator shaft glowed coldly under the emergency lights. Every few seconds, a horizontal red warning line passed through the field of vision, like an invisible knife, cutting the descent process into regular time segments.
"The depth is three hundred meters." Wang Qing, who was standing beside her, whispered, staring at the numbers that kept jumping on the elevator display. "I just heard them say that Area 11 is the deepest military base on this resource planet."
Ning Xuan did not answer. Her attention was drawn to a black hemisphere above the elevator door. It was obviously a surveillance camera, but its design was unusual. Its surface was covered with dense honeycomb structures, and it had a metallic luster under the light. Even stranger, it seemed to be slightly adjusting its angle as she moved, like a real eye.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator finally stopped. The moment the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew in my face.
The scene before her made Ning Xuan open her eyes wide.
They were standing in a huge underground space, at least fifty meters high, extending in an oval shape to both sides. The most eye-catching thing was the wall surrounding the entire space - it was not a vertical wall in the traditional sense, but a sloping fortification made up of dozens of staggered alloy plates. Each alloy plate was covered with dents, flashing a cold light under the white lighting.
"Energy diffusion array." A hoarse voice came from behind them. These dents can disperse the attack of energy weapons to the entire wall, and the single-point bearing capacity will be increased by 20 times.
The lieutenant stepped forward, his boots clicking on the metal floor.
“Welcome to Area 11, new recruits. I’m Lieutenant Huo Shan, who is in charge of your basic training. In the next two months, you will learn how to survive here - and adapt to the environment of this planet.”
Huo Shan led them through a narrow passage with tiny holes on the walls on both sides. "Be careful not to touch the wall," Horn warned. "This is a laser defense net that can cut unauthorized contacts into pieces within 3 seconds."
Ning Xuan put down her raised hand and tried to walk in the middle of the passage. She could feel Wang Qing reacting in the same way behind her.
