Global Era of Star trekking

He had to abandon the thought of continuing his cultivation and wait until he was outside the base before summoning the Cangqiong, which soared into the sky and reached thousands of kilometers above the Vault of Heaven.

A few minutes later, a Torch Warship, also over a hundred meters long, sped toward him, and after closing the distance to the Cangqiong, the two warships established communication.

Looking at the figure in the communication projection in front of him, surprise flickered in Song Chi’s eyes, but he didn’t show it.

His impression of Song Ze from the Earth Pulse was still very vivid; after all, they had passed through the 30th floor of the Immortal Puppet Tower together.

"Brother Song Ze, I hadn’t expected it would be you personally delivering it; you have my thanks for the trouble!"

He didn’t pretend not to recognize the other party; that would have been too deliberate.

In the communication projection, Song Ze’s face wore a smile.

"We didn’t have a chance to greet each other during the Immortal Puppet Tower challenge; please don’t take offense, Brother Chi!"

Hearing what the other said, Song Chi’s mind gave a leap; he felt there was more to Song Ze’s words than met the ear.

However, before he could say anything else, the other party had already opened the warship’s hatch, and a beam of tractive light shot out from it, bringing two components glowing with blue light floating toward the Cangqiong.

Seeing this, Song Chi repeated the operation, and having successfully received the two components into the Cangqiong, he transferred over more than three thousand Intermediate-Rank Soul Stones to offset the 10,000 Merit Points debt.

After completing these two steps in the process, Song Chi had thought Song Ze would say something more, to probe whether he had indeed passed the 30th floor of the Immortal Puppet Tower, but unexpectedly, Song Ze never mentioned it.

"Brother Chi, now that we’ve become acquainted, I’ll come to visit when I have more time!"

After this abrupt remark, he turned the flagship around and quickly disappeared from the Cangqiong’s view.

Song Chi: ???

Not understanding the other’s maneuver, Song Chi didn’t bother to ponder it any longer. After returning to the base, he once again went into the underground battleship summoning room to start enhancing the two newly acquired blue components.

Thanks to the [Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform], he currently had over 1,600 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin in hand, and since enhancing the two components didn’t require Titanium Crystals, Song Chi enhanced both to lv30 in one go.

There’s no need to mention the [Sonic Silence Field] component; after enhancing it to lv30, its radius of silence increased from 50 meters to 10,000 meters.

The duration went from 1 hour to 24 hours, and the buffer time was reduced to 15 hours. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As for the [Void Membrane] component.

Void Membrane lv30

Quality: Blue

Feature: Void Stealth

Consumption: 10,000 per use (Spectral Energy Points)

Charge: 5 minutes; Buffer: 6 hours

Duration: 4 hours

Effect: Conceals the warship’s whereabouts, priority 450

UpRank Requirement: 8 strands of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin, 9,000 Spectral Energy Points

{Void Stealth: The warship gains special resistance to the void, ignoring certain levels of void cracks and the effects of the Void Gangwind.}

Packing away the remaining strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi left the battleship summoning room.

In the base’s cavern, Song Chi explained to his grandfather that he needed to leave for a while, possibly for about half a month.

Song Mingsong repeatedly asked several questions and only nodded in agreement after confirming that Song Chi had sufficient self-protection capabilities.

...

At the western foot of the Melting Soul Mountain Range, stretching westward along the mountains, the dense forest spans hundreds of miles, an environment where the Soul Spirit Clan loves to conceal themselves.

Just a few hundred meters low in the Vault of Heaven, a warship concealed under a thin layer of void membrane slowly moved forward.

Despite having the lv30 [Void Membrane] component hiding it, Song Chi did not dare to make the Cangqiong fly too fast; instead, it advanced with the engines at their lowest power.

It couldn’t be helped; although the [Void Membrane] could hide the ship’s body, a warship’s passage could expose more than just the ship itself, like the air currents and waves it generated.

As for the roar of the engine, that, too, was shielded by the [Sonic Silence Field] component.

"Master, it’s right below us!"

In the main control room, upon hearing the reminder from the Third Rank Soul Spirit Clan member behind him, Song Chi gradually brought the Cangqiong to a halt.

Instead of landing immediately, he had the ship’s semi-intelligent system carefully examine the radar image generated by the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar] on one side.

After ascertaining that there were no biological energy fluctuations of Second Rank or higher within a kilometer range below, and the nearest second-tier biological energy fluctuation was tens of thousands of meters away, he then maneuvered the Cangqiong to land.

Squeak Squeak Squeak--

The Cangqiong’s hatch door quickly opened, taking advantage of the lasting duration of the [Sonic Silence Field] component, he swiftly released three Furious Tiger Mining Carts that had been pre-loaded onto the warship at the Ruins Market, initiating the drilling operation in the designated area.

In the main control room, staring at the radar image on one side, Song Chi’s brow furrowed.

The [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar] did not show any special energy fluctuations underground. Logically speaking, if there really was an intermediate rank Soul Stone vein, his orange air patrol radar should have detected it.

That "Magic Energy Detection" feature was no mere boast; it could detect the unique energy fluctuation frequencies of over ninety-nine percent of mineral resources.

Having this doubt, he was somewhat puzzled.

In this case, there must be a problem with one of them, either there were no intermediate rank Soul Stone veins deep underground and the enslaved Third Rank Soul Spirit Clan member had made a mistake, or there was a problem with the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar].

However, unable to pinpoint the exact reason in the short term, all he could do was wait.

An hour later, the three Furious Tiger Mining Carts that had dug hundreds of meters downward provided the final answer.

Four hundred meters below the ground, there indeed lay an intermediate rank Soul Stone vein, classified as medium-sized, with a preliminary estimate that the entire vein contained over 120,000 intermediate rank Soul Stones.

Upon hearing this news, naturally, Song Chi was extremely delighted.

120,000 intermediate rank Soul Stones were equivalent to 360,000 Family Merit Points. Once all were mined, he could use a few Golden Merits to enslave a Third Rank Thorned Flying Dragon when he got back home.

Even though a Third Rank Blackwater Xuan Snake in its mini form was currently perched on his left shoulder, how could it compare to the Flying Dragon Species, ranked at the pinnacle of the fourth tier in the bloodline spectrum?

The memory of how this creature had gone limp in the face of an equal-tier Thorned Flying Dragon still lingered vividly in his mind.

While swiftly ordering the three Furious Tiger Mining Carts to commence mining with their onboard intelligence, Song Chi shifted his gaze back to the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar].

It was clear from this result that the problem lay with the orange radar, as it had failed to detect the existence of the intermediate rank Soul Stone vein below.

After contemplating for a while, Song Chi’s mind flashed with various ideas and countless possibilities, pondering the reason for the malfunction of the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar].

He remembered in that asteroid belt, even the minerals located inside the asteroids could be clearly detected by this magical energy detection radar; why then did it fail today for this intermediate rank Soul Stone vein?

After a long period of doubt, Song Chi finally concluded the most probable possibility in his mind.

"Could it be because of the depth?"

In that asteroid belt earlier, it seemed that none of the resources detected were buried four hundred meters deep inside an asteroid; in fact, not even two hundred or three hundred meters. At most, they were just over a hundred meters deep.

With this in mind, to confirm his speculation, Song Chi once again took out the remaining Second-Rank Floating Land Origins and Titanium Crystals.

Eventually, he spent 68 Titanium Crystals + 215 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin + nearly 5,000 Terrastones to enhance the orange radar component to lv30.

Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar lv30

Quality: Orange

...…

Detection Range: 1530 Light Hours

Precision: 800

UpRank Requirement: 15 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 60,000 Spectral Energy Points, 2,500 Terrastones, 32 Titanium Crystals

{Magic Energy Detection:...}

{Star Chart Collector: After entering an unfamiliar star domain, and after half an hour’s collection, the air patrol radar will automatically generate a detailed star chart of 250 times the detection range.}

ps: It seems like there’s no double Monthly Ticket this month, so if you have a ticket, just throw it my way, thanks!
