Qian Yue's explanation could only mean one thing: You Long was here to play, not to transport the debris.
The reason was simple: she and Ding Meng were the only two people in the open space.
However, the black craters created by Ding Meng's explosion were visible to the naked eye. The soldier could not help but ask, "Secretary Qian, is there a problem with the transport ship?
Do you need us to send a construction vehicle over? "
Qian Yue waved her hand and said, "No need. I was bored while waiting for you, so I practiced alone."
The soldier no longer doubted her and made a gesture of invitation. "Secretary Qian, President You, please board the ship!"
Fortunately, these two were only advanced War Venerables. If it were any other high-level Origin Ability user, they would have discovered the problem with the craters at a glance. This was definitely not a practice, but a result of a fierce battle. The aura of various types of Origin Ability had not completely dissipated yet.
The airship seemed to be heading back the way it came, still flying low above the grass. This speed was not fast, but Ding Meng noticed that there were more and more swamps hidden under the grass, and they were faintly black. Obviously, they were poisonous. Without this airship, it would be quite troublesome for people to walk on the ground.
As the airship went deeper, the rain and fog became thicker and thicker, and the color of the sky was faintly red. It felt as if they had entered a world of red clouds. Ding Meng could not help but sigh. If one wanted to come to this place from Blue Pole Star City, even if one was an expert in tracking and investigating, one would not be able to reach this place without luck.
Three hours later, they finally arrived at their destination. Ding Meng and Qian Yue had made various assumptions in advance. This place should be some kind of base, or at the very least, there should be facilities like a factory.
However, what appeared in front of them now was a building that looked like a star ring, floating in the red clouds. It could be seen that the exterior was made of a shiny alloy, and it was about the size of a medium-sized spaceship. It floated quietly in the air, and there was no change on the ground.
It looked like a small star ring, but in fact, it was more like a super-large mechanical device. It used an anti-gravity system powered by superconducting stones, which allowed it to float for a long time. Ding Meng knew this because he had been to the Divinity's Wars Star Zone. Wasn't the star ring of the six major sects similar to this?
However, the Star Ring was very small. It was divided into two levels. The airships would go directly to the lower level. It was indeed a port. Airships of all sizes were docked there.
The upper floor was empty. It was just a circular hall without a central control panel. There was only a small control panel in the far corner, and a few ordinary people in armor were discussing something.
"Welcome, welcome! Welcome, Secretary Qian and CEO You!"
An old man in a white protective suit greeted them with a smile. "I'm Luo Bin, the data technician of this B3 detector workstation."
"Detector?"
Ding Meng was a little curious. The building did not seem to have any radar or sensors. How did you detect it?
Luo Bin smiled. "CEO You, this must be your first time here. It's normal that you don't know how it works. If we're lucky and capture the energy of the conveyor belt, CEO You will soon understand."
Ding Meng and Qian Yue were still confused. They did not understand what the old man was saying. What was this place?
How did it work?
What was the use of this so-called detector?
Where was the ore residue?
Both of them had no idea.
However, both of them did not take the initiative to ask to avoid arousing suspicion.
Qian Yue smiled. "Elder Luo, CEO You is just here for a stroll. You can continue with your work. We'll just walk around."
Luo Bin pointed into the distance and said, "There's a rest area over there, but this is a workstation. It's a bit shabby. I hope you don't mind."
Following the direction of his finger, there were a few sofas and coffee tables in the opposite corner of the hall. It seemed that this was a place for people to talk. This rest area was indeed shabby.
Qian Yue did not reject Luo Bin's suggestion because she really did need to rest. Even if she was a biochemist and had self-healing abilities, the injuries that Ding Meng had inflicted on her were not small. Thus, she walked to the rest area and sat down on the sofa. She then took out a few exquisitely packaged reagents from her bag, twisted the knob, and drank all of them.
Although it looked like a nutrient solution, Ding Meng knew that a reagent that could heal a battle sage was definitely not ordinary. It must be something that Qian Yue was saving for critical moments.
Ding Meng did not move around. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. He spread out his telekinesis in all directions and carefully scanned the entire second floor. Strangely, there was nothing suspicious here. In this situation, he knew that he could only wait patiently.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Bin and a few other people in white coats suddenly shouted from the control panel in the distance.
"There it is, there it is, detected it!"
"Position 2D56, 3MC9, B3. Confirmed!"
"Energy value 5L …"
…
What was going on?
Qian Yue could not help but look at the control panel. The few statisticians were shouting even louder. Each of them had a red glow on their faces, as if they had made an important discovery.
"Quick, quick, transmit it!"
"Can it be transmitted in?"
"The fluctuation is too small. I'll try my best …"
…
This time, even Ding Meng opened his eyes. He saw a white dot appear out of nowhere in the middle of the hall. Qian Yue almost thought that it was the activation of a musical image transmission.
Who knew that this dot would flicker and feel very unstable. This was obviously not a musical image transmission. She could only sense that it was a strange energy fluctuation. As for where this fluctuation was coming from?
She could not detect it. It was probably related to this group of statisticians.
"It's transmitted in, it's transmitted in!" Someone shouted excitedly.
The dot in the middle of the hall was no longer flickering. It gradually became brighter and clearer. Clearly, it had stabilized. Then, a strange scene appeared. The dot seemed to be expanding. Just like a star vortex in space, it produced streaks of light that spread in all directions. It was really the form of a nebula at the beginning of the universe.
Qian Yue was also dumbfounded. She had never seen this phenomenon before and could not explain it.
Ding Meng, who was next to her, glanced at the miniature star vortex. Then, he turned his head away and closed his eyes to rest.
"Tell everyone to come up quickly. The conveyor belt is about to take shape," Luo Bin shouted.
Immediately, a statistician madly pressed buttons on the control panel, and the entire workstation immediately rang with an urgent alarm. The response from the lower levels was also very fast. After a series of footsteps, more than 20 soldiers wearing battle armor rumbled as they ran up.
At this moment, the bright star vortex had expanded to the size of a coffee table. It did not look like it was going to stop anytime soon. Qian Yue wondered what kind of conveyor belt this was.
Just as everyone was waiting with bated breath, the bright star vortex suddenly flickered. Then, it suddenly dimmed. Before the statisticians could exclaim, the star vortex shrank into the shape of a dot. The dot flickered again and then disappeared. The fluctuation also disappeared. It was a situation where it had completely disappeared.
"Aiya!" Luo Bin seemed to be pounding his chest and stamping his feet. "What's going on?"
Someone was already answering, "I don't know. This has never happened before."
Luo Bin said, "Did you not control the transmitter properly?"
That person looked very wronged. "How is that possible, Old Luo? I've done it so many times."
Luo Bin thought for a moment and said, "Let's change the position and try again."
With this order, Qian Yue realized that the entire workstation was drifting towards the depths of the red cloud. They probably had to change locations to capture the mysterious fluctuation again.
Turning her head, she realized that Ding Meng was still resting despite all the commotion. She could not help but say, "Hey, Young Master You, wake up!"
Ding Meng did not even open his eyes. "Don't disturb my rest."
Qian Yue stared at Ding Meng suspiciously. "You must know what's going on, right?
Right? "
Ding Meng sighed. "You're asking the wrong person. You should be asking those statisticians."
Qian Yue said coldly, "I'm afraid they don't even know what's going on."
Ding Meng said helplessly, "If even they don't know what's going on, then it's even more impossible for me to know."
This was obviously a lie. Not only did he know what was going on, but he was also even more surprised. This was because the star vortex that had just appeared was a Divine Light singularity. However, the fluctuation from this singularity was very weak. It felt like an embryonic form and was far less powerful than the singularities he had encountered on Madison and the Rainbow Planet.
When the singularity expanded into a star vortex, the Divine Light bracer immediately reacted strangely. Ding Meng even realized that the bracer was vibrating on its own. It was just that everyone had been distracted by the changes in the singularity back then, so they did not notice anything strange about him.
When Ding Meng activated his Origin Energy to control the bracer's vibration, the singularity seemed to have immediately sensed his presence and quickly faded away. Ding Meng found it hard to explain this situation. The singularity seemed to be very afraid of him.
But it was more like it was sending him some kind of message.
Of course, Ding Meng knew that the Mou Xing Civilization's Divine Light Technology was absolutely harmless to him. So all he needed to do now was to close his eyes and continue to wait patiently.
Qian Yue felt very helpless when she saw him not opening his eyes and remaining indifferent. There was definitely something wrong with this guy, but he just refused to say anything.
The workstation continued to drift in the red mist. After flying for about four hours, Luo Bin's exclamation rang out again. This time, his tone was not only shocked but also excited.
"Got it, got it, got it. Quick, quick, quick!"
The statisticians were operating in a flurry again. They were probably guiding a new wave.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh —
This time, a total of 16 bright spots appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall, emitting extremely dazzling rays of light.
Luo Bin fell to his knees with a thud. He looked so excited that it was as if he had married 16 wives at the same time. "Oh my God, we've struck it rich this time."
Qian Yue could not help but ask, "Elder Luo, what's going on?"
Luo Bin said excitedly, "Secretary Qian, at most, two conveyor belts have appeared at our workstation. I didn't expect to be so lucky this time. There are actually 16 conveyor belts. This is a big discovery. If CEO Ling knows about it, he'll definitely be happy."
Oh no!
Qian Yue's heart sank. Could this have attracted Ling Xingqi's main body here?
