Although Planet Extreme Flame was 50 light-years away from the God Wars Starfield, it was actually quite difficult to travel. The reason was that there was a rather complicated meteorite belt around the periphery of Planet Extreme Flame, which was completely irregular. This extremely rare celestial phenomenon made it very difficult for large fleets to pass through. Under normal circumstances, only small and medium-sized spaceships could pass through.
The fleet sent by the God Wars Alliance this time was extremely large. There were more than 300 spaceships of various sizes, a total of seven fleets. Almost every sect had one fleet, and there was also a mothership in the center.
Almost all the elites of the God Wars Alliance were sent out this time. Except for the commander of the Crusade Army, Qing Zhongfeng, who stayed in Celestial Circle, the leaders of the other five sects all participated in this expedition.
The entire fleet was led by the mothership, and at the front of the fleet was Qu Xiaoqing's Conqueror Starship. According to Xin Jie's plan, they did not use laser cannons to open up a path in the complicated meteorite belt. Instead, they used "Space Bombs" to distort the surrounding environment and directly open up a tunnel-like route for the fleet to enter to avoid causing too much noise.
After passing through the meteorite belt, they could see the appearance of Planet Extreme Flame. It was a completely gaseous planet. If one could describe it, it was like looking at the moon in the water. It was very blurry and hazy, like a dim star, although everyone knew that Planet Extreme Flame was not the real Planet Extreme Flame.
There were five satellites around Planet Extreme Flame. The temperature of the satellites was relatively low, so the main force of the fleet was stationed on Satellite No. 1. In fact, this Combined Fleet was mainly composed of carrier spaceships. After all, everyone came to Planet Extreme Flame to search for energy.
The real one to descend to the ground was the Conqueror Starship. The temperature of Planet Extreme Flame was too high. The surface alone had a temperature of 1,100 degrees. Ordinary spaceships would definitely not be able to descend. The 128-Yuan alloy spaceships could not stay on the planet for too long either.
However, for safety reasons, three large integrated spaceships followed the Conqueror Starship down. They were mainly there to ensure that the Conqueror had sufficient energy.
After entering the atmosphere, the true appearance of Planet Extreme Flame was revealed. It was a fiery red planet, like the sun. Everything on the planet was burning, but the ground was not barren. There were rivers, mountains, and vegetation.
There was no water in the river. It was filled with fiery red lava. The mountains were not real mountains either. They looked more like red-hot rocks piled together. As for the vegetation, it was definitely not green. It was all red. It was no different from the vegetation in the human world. Everything on Planet Extreme Flame was fiery red. This was a world of "fire".
The data on the radar showed that there was still a trace of oxygen in the atmosphere. As long as there was oxygen, then origin ability users would be able to move about on the ground.
Looking at the image on the screen, Ding Meng couldn't help but sigh. "This place is both heaven and hell."
Xiao Ai agreed. "That's right. This is practically a thermodynamic paradise. My database shows that the density of Origin Energy on the surface of Planet Extreme Flame is 11.7 times higher than on a normal planet. Origin ability users who cultivate here will definitely get twice the results with half the effort."
Little Rascal pondered for a moment before saying, "That's not necessarily the case. If my guess is correct, this isn't some high-temperature environment. This is an electromagnetic world. The so-called Ember Tribe is very likely an electromagnetic lifeform. We've arrived at a completely new world."
Ding Meng asked curiously, "An electromagnetic world?"
Little Rascal nodded. "Yes. Extremely high temperatures can easily produce electric and magnetic fields. You can understand electromagnetic fields as a force field. It's similar to the human world. In this force field, as time passes and energy transforms, it can give birth to electromagnetic lifeforms. The fact that the Ember Tribe can survive is undoubtedly a type of electromagnetic lifeform. These lifeforms are very powerful, but their individual lifespans are very short. However, we can't rule out the existence of some special lifeforms. Electromagnetic worlds with lifeforms are very rare in the universe. I didn't expect there to be one here …"
Ding Meng said, "It should be said that the situation of this main star system is very unique. It has many different lifeforms. There are pure humans, the Evergreen Tree Race, the True Martial Cultivators, the God Wars Star System, and even the Singularity of the Mou Star Civilization. Little Rascal, do you think this planet has the ruins of your civilization?"
Little Rascal said, "I'm afraid there is. If there is, it's very likely that it will attract the enemy's attention."
Ding Meng fell silent. He had always been very curious. What kind of existence was the enemy that even Little Rascal was afraid of?
At this time, the starship was slowly descending. The Conqueror and the other three integrated spaceships had already activated their energy shields. There was no other reason for this. They wanted to reduce the heat from the surface of the starship as much as possible and prevent any Ember Tribe lifeforms from appearing. Of course, operating like this would consume a lot of energy, so the fleet's plan was to have the Conqueror stay on the surface while the other three integrated spaceships would constantly switch shifts with the starship on the satellite.
The Conqueror chose a fiery red grassland as its docking point. After setting up camp, Qian Huanyu's team began to set up a simple base on the surface. They collected some of the burning flames on the ground and extracted them before they began to refine Fire Crystals.
The production of Fire Crystals was also quite troublesome. The base needed about three days to produce about a ton of mid-grade Fire Crystals. This amount of Fire Crystals would be enough for normal use, but right now, it was only barely enough to maintain the energy shields of the four integrated spaceships, so the production of Fire Crystals was definitely not high.
In the command center, the budget numbers displayed on the screen were particularly dazzling. Looking at these numbers, Bai Jinlai was a little anxious. "We're already here, but we still haven't managed to produce any Fire Crystals of higher quality."
This was obviously a question for Fang Ming. Fang Ming's expression was a little awkward. "This is just a simple collection on the surface. If we can go deeper underground, I guarantee that we can produce high-grade Fire Crystals. If the conditions permit, we can even produce two-color or three-color Fire Crystals."
According to the known information, the Alliance knew that Planet Extreme Flame had a total of seventy-three levels underground. This was not even the deepest level. If they went deeper underground, the risk would be quite high.
"I suggest that we split up and start the operation. Once we find anything, we'll report it immediately. What do you think, presidents?" Sheng Tianfeng suggested.
Moving on the surface of Planet Extreme Flame basically depended on manpower. Moreover, those who went down would not be ordinary Origin Ability Users. At the very least, those who were below the War Venerable level would definitely not be able to go. Those who went would definitely be first-rate elites. However, Planet Extreme Flame had one advantage. This was a world of electromagnetic waves, so communication was absolutely smooth. Even if they went thousands of meters underground, their wristbands and communicators would still be able to contact the command center.
Sheng Tianfeng's suggestion was undoubtedly for the six sects to each send out a small group to scout the way. The Long Voyage Alliance was a little embarrassed, because apart from Ding Meng, Jun Ling, and Kadiga, they did not even have a decent expert. On the other hand, the other five sects basically had large groups of people, each of them well-equipped from the teeth to the toes.
However, Lu Qing did not hesitate to run to Ding Meng's side. Lin Aoxue and the others turned a blind eye to this. Now, the group of beauties from Water Cherry Society knew that Lu Qing was determined to follow Ding Meng.
Of course, there were also benefits for Lu Qing to join. She could establish a spiritual link with Ding Meng and Jun Ling, so it would be easier for them to take care of each other.
As the large group of people disembarked from the ship, Xin Jie finally waved at Ding Meng.
"What's the situation?"
Ding Meng knew that Xin Jie definitely had some secret goods. Coming to Planet Extreme Flame, with the powerful reconnaissance system of the Conqueror, it was impossible that nothing could be found.
A small screen rose up from the main control console. The screen was a 2D map. There were only two bright spots on the map, one red and one green, flashing.
Ding Meng naturally understood this kind of simple map. "The green dot is us?"
Xin Jie nodded solemnly. "When the fleet landed, I discovered this strange red dot. This is an exceptionally strange energy. This energy wave is at least 80% similar to the energy wave detected in the Rainbow System. I think you need to go over and check it out."
Ding Meng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Planet Extreme Flame also contained the operating energy of Divine Light Technology's Singularity?
"How far away is it from us?" Ding Meng asked.
Xin Jie's expression was serious. "You have to be mentally prepared this time. The straight-line distance from us in the air is 5,665 kilometers, but my personal judgment is that the actual distance is even further. It might be more than 10,000 kilometers …"
He paused for a moment, then turned to Kadiga. "Officer Kadiga and President Lu, it's best that you stay on the Conqueror. I need you to help me analyze the data together with Makoto Fuuma on Xue Yue Mountain …"
Kadiga nodded. He understood what Xin Jie meant. This trip was likely to be dangerous. Ding Meng's strength was unquestionable, and Lu Qing and Jun Ling were also stronger than him. If he really went along, he would only be a burden.
As for Lu Qing, she was a light-speed Origin ability user. Once she got off the ship, she would need to use her Origin ability to withstand the high temperature. It was not that she could not withstand it, but that her Origin ability was being used up. If they encountered an accident, she would probably be a burden as well.
Even if Lu Qing was unwilling, she still had to follow orders. Along the way, Shengtian Feng had said that the mothership would be overseen by Li Qingfeng. Although Qu Xiaoqing was the commander of the Conqueror, the one giving the orders was actually Xin Jie.
Since Xin Jie had left his secret goods with Ding Meng, he would naturally consider Ding Meng's safety.
"Go!"
Xin Jie patted Ding Meng's shoulder forcefully and handed him a pair of low-light glasses. "Put this on. I'll be able to see your situation at all times. At the same time, I'll analyze the data for you. If you encounter any danger, I'll immediately send you back."
These glasses were actually a bit superfluous for Ding Meng. He currently had many types of reconnaissance vision, but Xin Jie was doing this out of the kindness of a friend. Ding Meng did not say much and quickly put on the glasses.
Xin Jie looked at him meaningfully. "Just like last time, I'll still say the same thing. We'll wait for you to come back and eat steak together."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back." After saying this, Ding Meng and Jun Ling walked side by side to the connecting cabin.
