The planet under his feet was labeled I-544204 on the Star Map of the Interstellar Committee, which represented a extinct planet that had been destroyed by unknown events in the first era or even earlier.
In the endless years, similar dead planets were like the sands of the Ganges River in the universe, almost endless.
This was the law of the universe-destruction breeds new life, and new life is mixed with destruction. Everything is like a grand cycle, revolving tirelessly in the gear called ‘time’.
However, this planet was obviously different from those completely exhausted dead planets. Perhaps it was because the extinction was not complete, but this planet still retained a lot of resources stored before it was destroyed.
Now, these resources were frozen under layers of thick ice and snow, like a boiling furnace that constantly emitted heat, attracting all the people who coveted these energy treasures from the previous era.
Even if tens of thousands of people searched for decades, they might not be able to get an accurate report on the resources on such a large planet. The Alliance of Order could not place their hopes on a group of students who did not even have a Level Six martial artist.
The ‘flammable ice’ that they needed to investigate could only be considered a medium to low-level energy source that could be detected on the planet’s surface.
Planet I-544204.
Li Yueming and the others were wearing thick protective suits as they walked along a huge ice shell.
Most of the people present were Level Five martial artists. They could not withstand the various extreme environments in the universe, so their efficiency was very slow.
Only Flay and the others could maintain their agility.
According to the arrangements on the spaceship, the Level Five martial artists among the group of students were in charge of the specific exploration and collection, while Manda, Donald, Flay, and the others were in charge of reconnaissance and defense.
Therefore, the lineup of the group of people was scattered. The Level Six martial artists were active at the edge of the team, while the Level Five martial artists could move forward with peace of mind.
Following the navigation, a huge ice cave soon appeared in front of them.
This was a hole that the Starfield Explorer had drilled in the ice, specifically for detection and reconnaissance.
When everyone approached the cave, the sky turned dark.
The team leader’s voice rang out.”When the scouts were drilling here, they detected traces of activity of many energy lifeforms underground. The energy level is about 1500 megapascals. Although it’s not high, it’s still dangerous. Be careful. Return after you find the approximate location and capacity of the flammable ice. Don’t go too far!”
The so-called energy life form was a very strange creature in the universe.
They usually appeared in various places that stored energy on a large scale. They fed on the stored energy and grew very fast. They would also attack any creature that tried to compete with them for energy.
Although I-544204 was a dead planet, the huge energy contained in it was obviously the most sought after by energy lifeforms.
Therefore, even if they were thousands of meters underground and isolated from the outside world, there were still energy lifeforms that chose to take root and reproduce.
This was also the reason why the Explorer did not dare to venture too deep underground.
After all, no one knew how many energy lifeforms were hidden beneath the planet. If they probed too deeply, they might poke a hornet’s nest. They had to send people to slowly explore layer by layer to ensure that the energy content and purity were suitable for mining before they could continue to invest resources.
The mysterious energy of 1200 megapascal was equivalent to a martial artist with 12000 combat power.
Relatively speaking, it wasn’t very high. However, on such a large planet with so many minerals, the number of energy lifeforms should be very high. Moreover, there might be some powerful mutants mixed among them. If a conflict really happened, it would be difficult for the team to gain an advantage.
Upon hearing the clan leader’s order, everyone perked up.
They followed the traces of the Explorer’s spiral in the mineshaft and began to walk down.
As they went deeper and deeper, the temperature of the surrounding environment continued to drop. Because of the protective clothing, everyone did not feel any discomfort, but they became more and more nervous.
After all, the surface of the earth when minus a thousand degrees Celsius, their physical body can barely resist.
When they arrived at the mission target location, the surrounding temperature would probably be close to-2,000 degrees Celsius. If something happened to them at this time and caused their protective suits to break, they would be one with the surrounding temperature in a few minutes.
Li Yueming was in the middle of the group.
Because he was a Mechanic, he enjoyed better treatment. He only needed to follow the team and repair all kinds of weapons and mechanical devices that might be damaged. He did not need to join the battle.
Of course, no one expected him to participate in the battle.
After all, Mechanics were known for their weak combat strength before they were promoted to Battle Mechanics. Instead of counting on him to kill, it was better to count on him to repair things faster so as not to drag down the team’s efficiency.
The traces of the spiral that the scout had dug out were so deep that they could not see the bottom. The group walked unhurriedly for three to four hours before they arrived at the target area.
In front of him was a dark blue ocean.
If one ignored the naked eye and looked at it with the energy scanning system that came with the protective suit, everything in front of them would be even more spectacular. Countless flammable ice piled up together, like the bluest ocean in the world.
