When Han Lang returned to the Antarctic base, he received an unprecedented warm welcome.
"Yo, Han Lang? You're finally back!"
"I miss you so much brother, just come back."
"Thanks to you this time, we can keep this precious relic, and we must work harder in the future!"
Han Lang smiled and greeted the people he met along the way. In fact, Han Lang didn't recognize many of these people. After all, he didn't stay at the Antarctic base for a long time, and he always focused on training and never participated in the training. In the daily affairs of the base, those friends who seemed to be very close to Han Lang actually only met him once or twice.
But this does not hinder everyone's affection for Han Lang. The tough Han Lang, no one on earth knows this name. In everyone's mind, Han Lang may not be the most powerful in combat, nor the most exquisite in martial arts, but he is The bravest and hardest existence!
Faced with more than ten times the number of enemies alone, he still rushed forward without hesitation, fought to the last moment, and even almost sacrificed his life. Han Lang's deeds were simply a legend in everyone's eyes!
Due to the last incident, the security level in the base has increased a lot. There are two special operations teams guarding the entrance to the ruins, with a number of twenty-two people.
Han Lang looked at the silver alloy door and sighed softly. This was the place where he witnessed Richard and Freeman's death in battle. How could he not feel emotional when he revisited the old place now.
Walking through this mysterious door, Han Lang finally came to the legendary prehistoric ruins. Unlike Han Lang's imagination, there are no luxurious decorations and wonderful sculptures here. It is more like a metal fortress. The huge hall connects countless Clear alleyway.
Most of the roadways are paved with steel rails. The electric energy transport rail car transports the black ore out of the car, and sends it to the huge steel machine on the side of the hall for grinding and screening. The black part of the ore is removed and transported by the rail car. The roadway was buried deep, and what was left was a bright yellow crystal.
The crystals are very small, like finely divided translucent sand. Workers are packing these crystals into boxes, and the collection volume is not large. The crystals collected from a cart of ore are only a few kilograms.
Han Lang looked at all of this curiously. The walls made of steel, the dome made of steel, the roadway made of steel, the walls and the dome have murals, depicting the complicated galaxy in the universe. It seems that prehistoric civilization is full of nostalgia for the starry sky.
Li Yu sighed and said with emotion: "This is a C-level relic belonging to the earth. It is a prehistoric civilization mine that can produce good quality pyrophorite, which is the kind of small yellow stone used to produce high-grade alloys. Adding substances, the price is as high as 500,000 star coins per ton."
"The current output of the mine is a little over one ton per day. We will sell these ores to the Milky Way open market. The federation can receive 15 million star coins per month. As the progress of the project accelerates, the output will still It will increase, if it can reach three tons per day, it will be 45 million star coins per month."
"You know, the Earth Federation's income last year was only 50 million star coins."
Han Lang frowned and said, "I don't quite understand, it's just developing a mine, so many brothers will die in battle?"
Li Yu looked at those deep alleys and pouted, "Because there used to be dark beasts there."
Han Lang was slightly taken aback, completely unaware of the existence of the dark beast Li Yu was referring to.
"follow me."
Li Yu took Han Lang into one of the tunnels of the mine. The workers here are ordinary workers without superpowers. Seeing them sweating profusely, they must also know the importance of this mine to the earth, so they worked hard to complete their mission. Task.
The expected income of 45 million star coins per month is actually just a drop in the bucket for an earth with a population of 1.5 million. The equipment and medicines needed by 150,000 superpowers will cost a lot of money, not to mention Not to mention fleet formation.
So far, there is only one Sky Fortress-class cruiser on Earth. This ship was awarded as a prize for being in the top ten of the Galactic Conference because of Clark's outstanding performance.
But the size of the earth is also a country. A country only has one interstellar warship. If you say it, you will be laughed at. It will cost a lot of money to buy more warships and train the crew on board.
In addition to this, the Earth Federation also needs to import some advanced energy, machinery, and training equipment, and the Federation’s diplomacy also needs to travel to nearby countries. All of these will cost star coins, so the problem of the earth is not poverty at present, but extreme poverty. The problem.
Han Lang followed Li Yu, and as they reached the depths of the alleyway, more traces of the battle began to appear. The paw prints on the wall were more than ten centimeters deep. If they caught the soldiers, they would have killed them immediately.
Li Yu said while recalling: "Before the retreat of the prehistoric advanced civilization, many mines, research institutes, and bases were closed, and a large number of dark beasts were left behind."
"Generally speaking, the higher the level of the ruins, the stronger the dark beasts left behind, and the ruins above level B even have their traps, so it is necessary to clean up the places left by prehistoric civilization and use them for us. A very difficult thing."
"Like this mine, it is easier to get through the existence of C-level relics, and it has caused heavy losses to the attacking team. With the current strength of the earth, if we develop higher-level relics, I am afraid that we will not be able to do what we want."
Han Lang nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked curiously: "I don't know how to distinguish the C-level ruins from the B-level ruins? In addition, there is another thing I don't understand. Since the prehistoric advanced civilizations have all withdrawn from the Milky Way Why are you still making such trouble? If you don’t want to leave traces, just blow it up.”
Li Yu explained: "The grading of ruins is a convention in the Milky Way to determine the value and difficulty of the ruins. The lowest level is D-level, which does not pose any threat. C-level ruins are more dangerous, but they are not indestructible. B-level ruins mean Only the powerful countries in the galaxy have the ability to independently develop B-level ruins, and low-level countries can only reluctantly develop them if they seek help from powerful countries, or form a coalition of multiple countries."
"As for the A-level ruins, the difficulty is so high that it is unimaginable. Even if the most powerful countries in the galaxy join forces, they cannot completely open up the ruins. There are simply forbidden areas for humans, with countless organs, secret passages, and dark beasts."
"The purpose of the Galaxy Conference is actually to find capable young people throughout the galaxy, and jointly develop several special A-level relics, namely A-level No. 7 ruins, A-level No. 19 relics, and A-level No. 23 ruins. remains."
"These three A-level relics are very special. There are restrictions at the entrance, and only young people under the age of 30 can enter them. Clark successfully opened up the A7 relics back then, ranking ninth in the entire galaxy, showing great potential!"
"There is such a young warrior with great potential. Although some countries proposed to colonize the earth after the Galactic Conference, they were rejected by the Galactic Federation. After all, in their view, a top talent like Clark has a bright future. In the future, the Galactic Federation may have great potential. helpful."
"Unfortunately, after the Galactic Conference ended, he sent the sky fortress cruiser that was awarded to him back to Earth, but he didn't go home, and he didn't know where he went. So far, there is no news."
When talking about Clark, Li Yu couldn't hide the sadness in his heart. Back then, Clark had practiced with seniors like Li Yu and Tallinn. It was a master-student relationship with deep feelings.
It's been almost ten years, assuming Clark is still on Earth, how can the Earth Federation be in such a mess, even those looters are here to bully them.
After a pause, Li Yu continued: "As for why the relics were put into the dark beast and set up a lot of traps, it was because the people of prehistoric civilizations thought that they would return to the Milky Way one day, so they took care of their important relics." Store it up."
"They still want to come back?" Han Lang asked puzzled, "Then I don't understand. The relocation of the whole family is not a joke. How much money and material resources will it cost? Why bother to move the whole family if they want to come back?" ?”
Li Yudao: "Maybe they encountered some difficulties. In short, prehistoric civilization is the biggest mystery in the Milky Way. Generally speaking, a collective relocation of a race is often due to threats, just like the Turkic people who lived in western China in history. The empire's raids forced it to move to Europe."
"There are countless examples like this. Judging from the current profits from the development of prehistoric relics, the intelligent creatures that lived in the Milky Way before humans had a very high level of civilization. Humans have only obtained a small part of the scientific and technological achievements of prehistoric civilizations, which has already benefited us endlessly. The warships that cross the star sea, the fusion power technology that provides free energy to the whole world, are all relics of prehistoric civilization."
"In fact, no one knows what kind of threat this powerful prehistoric civilization was under, which made them decide to relocate the whole family to an unknown place, but one thing is certain, it must be a A very dangerous enemy, and this dangerous enemy is likely to still exist somewhere in the galaxy, but it is still sleeping and has not awakened, and we don’t understand it.”
"In any case, the Milky Way is full of chaos and crises. As a member of the human race in the Milky Way, our earth is too weak. Only when we become stronger can we resist future and distant threats."
"What I can do is to do my best to develop the ruins. As long as the earth has an economic source, it can slowly accumulate strength, and you should find a way to enter the main game of the Galaxy Conference. I also believe that you have such strength."
Han Lang nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will do my best. As far as I know, there seems to be a group of specially trained young fighters in the headquarters. They should also be able to advance to the main match, right?"
Li Yu said with a solemn expression: "It's hard to say, they are all in retreat and practicing like you, and they didn't participate in the second half of the fighting competition. By the way, you will see this group of geniuses soon, as well as Chen Zhong, Monk, This time the First Legion is formed and they will all come."
Han Lang was very happy when he thought of Chen Zhong and the monk. Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, they had fought together before, and it was an excellent friendship.
In a blink of an eye, Han Lang and Li Yu had arrived at the end of the tunnel, and the steel rails were still being laid. The mine would soon be excavated to provide valuable financial support for the earth.
Li Yu looked at the bloodstains left by the battle on the wall in a daze, and said in a deep voice: "If the Galaxy Conference cannot break through, in order to prevent the earth from becoming a colony of other countries, the only way is to forcibly open the b-level ruins. Let our group of earth The only person with superpowers, let's fight one last time."
Han Lang was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "There are still B-level relics on Earth!?"
