"So I have always suspected that the Douluo Federation and Heaven Star have some form of cooperation. It is even possible that there are some powerful forces from the Douluo Federation hidden behind Heaven Star. Of course, what I can access and see are only the surface. These are all my own imaginations. I am not sure."
After hearing what Liu Guicheng said, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but look at him with a new eye. Smart pirates are easy to find, but pirates who are good at thinking may not be so easy to find.
If Heaven Star and Douluo Federation really cooperated, it would be beyond his imagination. He still clearly remembered the scene he faced when he was a child. At that time, he and his mother almost died at the hands of those interstellar pirates from the evil planet. Those pirates were extremely cruel and daring.
But Liu Guicheng's suspicion is not without reason. So, it is possible that the Douluo Federation is connected to or even cooperating with Heaven Star to a certain extent.
Nodding slightly, Lan Xuanyu said, "Let's go, get off the warship and go trade." He did not respond to Liu Guicheng's words, but continued their action directly.
Liu Guicheng was tactful and didn't say anything else. He just said all these things to make himself more visible and meaningful.
At the same time, this is also a test to test the origins of these new pirates.
A young voice, but with a sense of maturity. This is how Liu Guicheng feels about this Lord Shouyi.
Sure enough, there was already a car waiting for them outside. This planet was obviously not suitable for human survival. But the only acceptable thing was the gravity. The gravity was about 1.5 times that of the mother planet. It felt a little heavy when walking on it, but it didn't affect anything.
The combat uniforms that Lan Xuanyu and his companions are wearing allow them to survive in space for a short period of time. With a helmet that can convert oxygen, they can travel in such an environment.
The car is a very simple planetary track car. Through the track connection, it can quickly bring people to the interior of the exchange.
Just as Liu Guicheng said before, this place seemed a bit deserted. On the planetary orbiter that could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, there was only their group of people. They did not encounter other pirates.
Sitting on the planetary orbiter and observing the scenery outside, the first feeling is desolation. The bumpy surface is earth-yellow in color, but most of the place is rocky and there is no sign of soil.
From the surface, there is no indication of the internal structure of these rock layers.
For the Thirty-three Sky Wings, the biggest problem of this team's mission is not to find out how many rare metal deposits there are on this planet, but whether there are any metal deposits on this planet. This is the problem of this mission.
If they can't find any rare metal deposits, then the mission will naturally end and the mission cannot be completed. All the time they came here will be wasted.
But on the other hand, it is precisely because of the existence of such risks that the mission itself is not very dangerous.
After experiencing the battle and risks on Longyuan Star, and the warship support required for this mission, Lan Xuanyu decided to accept this mission, which was not necessarily the right decision. But this interstellar journey can at least give everyone some experience. And there is also the plan of the pirates eating the pirates in his mind. This time is also an attempt. Therefore, even if the mission cannot be completed, as long as there is some gain, it is acceptable. After all, there is still time.
"Has this planet been explored? Is there any sign of rare metals?" Lan Xuanyu asked Liu Guicheng beside him.
Liu Guicheng frowned and said, "I haven't heard of it. But generally speaking, these non-dangerous asteroids should have been explored. The reason they haven't been developed is probably because they haven't been discovered. At least on the surface of the planet, there are no rare metals of tomorrow."
"Yeah." Lan Xuanyu nodded.
His eyes quietly turned to Tang Yuge. Since getting in the car, Tang Yuge had kept her eyes closed. She was silently feeling everything in the outside world through her induction of the gold element.
Feeling Lan Xuanyu's gaze, Tang Yuge slowly opened his eyes, and a voice that only Lan Xuanyu could hear sounded in his ears.
"The earth element is very abundant, and the rock layer is thick and hard. After I got the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird, I have a deeper sense of the five elements. I can be sure that at least here, there are no metal elements in the rock layer within a hundred meters below. And this rock layer is very well isolated. If I really want to discover it, I need to explore deeper. I need time to walk on this planet."
Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly and gave Tang Yuge a thumbs up. Tang Yuge's evolved Heavenly Stem Kirin Martial Soul was simply a natural detector of the five elements, more useful than any soul guide.
There was no reply, because Lan Xuanyu's soul power was not yet capable of this kind of sound transmission, it would require at least the sixth ring level.
The surrounding scenery suddenly changed. First, it was pitch black. The planetary orbiter had entered a cave. Not long after, the surroundings became bright. This was a metal passage that went diagonally downward. Undoubtedly, they had entered the interior of the exchange.
The planetary track car stopped at a place similar to a platform. Liu Guicheng led the way, and everyone got off the car and entered a huge elevator.
Liu Guicheng whispered, "Because this is just a trading center, there are no entertainment facilities except the exchange. There is not even a place to live. Therefore, the pirates will leave and return to their warships after the transaction is completed. But the warship modification factory here is said to be very advanced, and many pirate groups have their warships modified here. But the cost is also very high."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "What is the meaning of this kind of exchange? Can't we trade on Heaven Star? Who will manage such an exchange?"
Liu Guicheng said, "The exchange is jointly managed by the seven pirate kings. So it also represents the will of the seven pirate kings. That's why no one dares to make trouble here. The main reason for establishing such an external exchange is that some things are not suitable for trading inside Paradise Star. For example, some dangerous goods. Similar to alien viruses, super bombs and the like. In addition, this kind of external exchange is only suitable for high-end pirate groups to trade. Especially those pirate groups that are not directly under the seven pirate kings are more willing to trade here. For them, this is more convenient and safer."
"At the same time, these external exchanges are cheaper than returning to Heaven because they have no entry fees, and they can trade closer. Warships can also dock for free. In order to hide their strength, some pirate groups will park some warships under cover on the relatively safe planets where exchanges are located. Anyway, they have various functions, and their existence is still very important."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "Aren't you afraid of a direct attack from the Douluo Federation?"
Liu Guicheng said, "We shouldn't be afraid of this. This kind of planet doesn't have many resources. Once the Douluo Federation attacks here, we will just give up and give them a fireworks show. It will only cause the Douluo Federation to suffer heavy losses without any gains."
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. "You mean there are very destructive weapons here?"
Liu Guicheng nodded, "I don't know what it is specifically. But it is said that it can trigger the core of the planet, and it is possible that the planet will explode. How powerful would an exploding planet be? All warships would be blown up. For such a planet that does not have much significance, the Douluo Federation will not cause trouble for itself."
Lan Xuanyu thought to himself that pirates really have their own way of survival. No wonder this Paradise Star has lasted for so many years.
