Under Ye Zhong's command, all students and shooters returned to the fortress in an orderly manner and were on standby. Even Jin Weidong received an order to return to the fortress. Before that, he received an order from Ye Zhong to purchase various materials in large quantities.
Within the fortress, the warehouse has become the building with the largest area. In all the warehouses, materials are piled up and filled to the brim. During this trip, I'm afraid it won't be possible to return to the fortress in a short time. In order to carry more supplies, Ye Zhong made all the food into food pills. Although they don't taste very good, they are small and can carry more. In addition to taste, it can supplement the energy and some nutrients necessary for the human body.
Just in case, Ye Zhong made food pills that could last the entire battleship crew for about three years. The fully packaged food pellets are neatly arranged in one cabin after another. In addition to food pills, various other supplies were piled up in all cabins. No one knows what lies ahead. The more prepared you are, the greater the chance of survival. For Ye Chong, he never finds preparations too complicated.
In order to prevent the Darkness from running out of energy, he also carried a large amount of top-quality energy crystals. In order to provide these energy crystals, even local snakes like the Yan family spent considerable manpower and material resources to gather them together. Correspondingly, Ye Chong also paid a considerable price for them. In Ye Chong's opinion, such preparations seemed not enough. He also used a tear stone in his hand as the Darkness's preliminary energy.
He cannot use all the tear stones as energy, because if they can really find a space window leading to the Heyue Star Territory, they will need tear stones to expand its radius.
All the students have received orders, and they all know that they are about to have a long journey. This made all these young people extremely excited. Take risks and go places you've never been. It is the dream of many young people. But they don't know where the destination of the journey is. As for those shooters, they are more accustomed to it and can reach level six. Who hasn’t experienced adventure or something like that
Jin Weidong and the others also tried to dig out some information from Ye Chong, but to their dismay, they found nothing.
In fact, they only worry about one thing. If Ye Zhong wants to attack any country, no one can resist it, whether it is the currently prosperous Dongyun Kingdom or the wealthy Nanzhou. They knew very well how much fighting power Ye Chong had now. There are people from the three countries under Ye Zhong, but the people from the Western Han region are the least.
No matter which country Ye Chong attacks, they don't want to see it. As long as they don't attack their homeland. As for where Ye Chong wanted to go, they all agreed with their hands. Therefore, Jin Weidong and the others are most afraid of Ye Zhong attacking Xihan Kingdom, in their opinion. With such huge power, how could he not have the ambition to dominate the world
When all the preparations were completed, Ye Chong finally gave the order to set off.
They abandoned three fortresses, and except for some high-precision instruments, the rest of the things in the fortresses remained the same. Ye Chong left. He never returned to the fortress. These three closed fortresses have always been regarded as miracles of God by latecomers. The archers who came to Darkness for adventure were in awe of these three magnificent fortresses. Any creature that attempts to approach the fortress will be killed. The dense network of firepower was heart-stopping. No one expected that these fortresses would be empty. Ye Zhong gave some of the extra supplies to Meiwu. Ye Zhong once wanted to invite Meiwu to participate in this adventure, but Meiwu politely refused.
It was not until four hundred years later, when Darkness was no longer an area that only advanced archers could set foot on, that the mysteries of these three fortress ruins were revealed bit by bit. This is another new story, and it has nothing to do with Ye Chong.
But Ye Chong's order was beyond the expectations of all the students. They don't understand why the Lord abandoned these three fortresses. Such a good fortress, with so many things inside, and they had lived in it for such a long time, felt somewhat reluctant to leave it.
Don't disobey the orders of adults. Anyway, it is not difficult for adults to build another fortress. They had no choice but to comfort themselves. But soon, everyone began to get used to life on the Darkness.
When Jin Weidong and others saw that the Darkness was flying in the Sea of Silk Grass, they were relieved. Today's Darkness has long become Ye Zhong's world. The students go out to hunt every day, which directly results in a sharp decrease in the number of beasts in Darkness. But they don't dare to migrate inward. The sea of silk grass is a natural barrier.
The Darkness flew at a low altitude, making the entire dark sky of Darkness become even more oppressive. The beast below clearly has no idea what this massive creature is. They lay on the ground, shivering, and buried their heads in the grass in fear.
The sea of silk grass is still so vast and boundless. The slowly swaying silk grass created layers of waves. Their exploitation of gelatinous bacteria did not have any impact on the vast sea of silk grass.
"Turn on the optical mode." The magnificent and vast sea of silk grass was displayed in front of everyone.
Inside the battleship, there was a sound of exclamation. They had never gone deep into the Sea of Silk Grass. Even if you are mining gelatin bacteria, you are only at the edge of the Sea of Silk Grass.
The moment they entered the sea of silk grass, they lost contact with the fortress, and the sea of silk grass could cut off all signals.
The Sea of Silk Grass is a dead place, with nothing but endless blue filaments. As time passed, the scene in front of them no longer had the original novelty for them, but became monotonous and boring.
Except for the personnel in the main control room who remained tense, the lives of the other crew members returned to normal. The facilities of the Darkness are very complete, and the crew can conduct training and study as usual inside.
Of course, with Ye Chong's style, there would be no entertainment facilities here.
The Darkness has been flying at a high speed. The Silk Grass Sea has an open and flat terrain without any obstacles, which is very conducive to flying, and there are no wild beasts to harass it along the way. ,,The flight was very smooth. It only took three days for them to fly across the Sea of Silk Grass. Apart from isolating the signal, the Sea of Silk Grass has no impact on the flight of the battleship. But for beasts, especially the beasts in Darkness, they are creatures with sensitive perceptions. This zone that can isolate all perceptions can always arouse the deepest and most primitive fear in their hearts.
No beast tried to cross the sea of silk grass, even the six-toed red-tailed beast would rather risk crossing through the dangerous crack than walk through the sea of silk grass.
As soon as the news of flying out of the Sea of Silk Grass reached the ears of the students, the ship immediately erupted. They all stared at the holographic screen in their room, watching the images on the holographic screen curiously.
Before the arrival of Mistress Rui Bing and the others, no human had ever set foot here. Sha Ya has never heard of this place. Even the greatest shooter in history is said to have only reached the deepest part of Darkness as far as Raschel. He probably has never reached this place. Sha Ya looked at the endless mountains on the holographic screen, leisurely and fascinated.
Following the direction guided by Sankan, Ye Chong flew along the path Rui Bing and the others took.
In the sky, a warship with a length of more than ten kilometers from end to end was flying less than three thousand meters above the ground. Looking up from the ground, the shock it brought was unparalleled. Shadows slowly passed over the ground, and the beasts below rushed and fled in panic. Even such a powerful beast as the snow leopard fled. This made those students full of pride.
The Darkness was not very fast, and they were not familiar with this area. For the sake of safety, Ye Chong did not choose to rush in this way.
"Sir, we have made a new discovery." The excited voice of the crew member reached Ye Chong's ears.
Ye Zhong perked up. After flying for many days, he found nothing special. He quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"We scanned this area and found that there are no metals or energy crystals in this area." They have learned the word metal and know that it is no different from heavy stone.
No metal or energy crystal? Ye Zhong couldn't help but frown. Although they are separated by a sea of silk grass, the distance between the two is actually not too far. How could the difference be so huge? The difference is not quantitative. But essentially.
While Ye Zhong was thinking, the crew member continued to add: "We found traces of mining on the ground here."
"Trace of mining?" Ye Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing brightly, the first thought in his mind was. Is there anyone else here
"Send the image here." Ye Zhong gave the order calmly.
Ye Zhong's eyes were fixed on the holographic screen. On the holographic screen, there were faint signs of turning on the ground, and pits were exposed in some places. After Ye Zhong carefully identified it for a while, he rejected the possibility of artificial mining. He could not think of any mining tool that would leave similar traces. These pits vary in size and depth, and some should have been there for quite some time.
Soon, a light armor flew out from the Darkness and brought back some soil from these pits. The measurement results were quickly sent to Ye Zhong. The metal content in these soils was obviously higher than that in other places. There should be metal ore buried in the original pit.
But now the result obtained by the scanning system on the Darkness is that there is almost no metal here.
Maybe this problem is just an inconspicuous problem to others, because they don't need any metal anymore. But Ye Chong thought of another problem. Because he knew that metal was indispensable for creatures like the Night Snow Leopard and the Red-tailed Beast. But now there is no metal here, which means that they need to find a new place to live.
Is this the reason for the red-tailed beast's invasion
Ye Chong is not sure yet. But he felt that this reason was probably a very important factor. There is no metal and no energy crystal for the creatures here. This area has actually become a place unsuitable for survival and development.
If he were a red-tailed beast, he would definitely look for a new place to live.
Ye Zhong just couldn't figure out how the red-tailed beast mastered such a complex technology as the space window. Their use of space windows far exceeds that of humans. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that that was not the case. In his impression, the red-tailed beast used the space window except when it first entered the Heyue Star Territory. In battle, I have never seen them used.
Then I thought about the eight-toed red-tailed beast I met in the underground cave, and the space window, that time too. Ye Zhong obtained a lot of tear stones and encountered a powerful and cold-blooded creature like the red-tailed beast for the first time. The space window that time should be a natural space window.
Is it true that, as Ariyod said, there are many natural space windows in this area
Ye Zhong's speculation made him very excited. If he could really find a space window leading to the Heyue Star Territory, then he could go to Mu Shang and the others again.
In this world, except for a few people such as Mu Shang and Rui Bing, no one can bring such a huge attraction to Ye Chong.
The Darkness was still moving forward slowly and at a steady speed. They saw the Night Snow Leopard, the Golden Bird, and more powerful creatures, but surprisingly, they did not see the Red-tailed Beast. Obviously, the living environment of the red-tailed beast is completely different from that of other creatures.
Sankan's sense of direction is surprisingly good, which is normal when you think about it. Even in the Red Mist Sea, he will not lose his way, not to mention that he has already been here before
"It's hard to find water in this area," Sankan recalled with some recollection. He had spent a long time trying to find a drinkable water source here. Even if there was water in many places, it was poisonous and undrinkable.
In the main control room, Ye Zhong stood upright in front of the holographic screen. Rui Bing, still wearing a snow-white training uniform, stood quietly beside Ye Zhong. Almost all the students knew that the mistress was quiet and rarely spoke, but they still respected her very much. On the one hand, she is an adult's wife. When they heard Sangkan call Rui Bing his master's wife, they naturally thought that Rui Bing was your wife. And Ye Zhong didn't even correct his name for them, which also fixed Rui Bing's position in their hearts.
The strength of the mistress is another reason why she can gain the respect of the students. Very few people know the strength of the mistress. But it is very easy to know the strength of Sankan, a militant. And even Qiang Rusangkan always had a look of admiration when talking about the power of the mistress.
Moreover, every time the adults encounter important actions, they always take the mistress alone, which makes Rui Bing's strength become more and more unpredictable in their hearts.
"Sir, look!" Suddenly a crew member pointed forward.
