Chapter 368 Mobile Natural Disasters in the Solar System (4K)

"I see!" Li Ye suddenly realized.

Cylandis, Amat, Aetheria, Kadenler.
Along the way, he gradually came to a clear understanding of one thing.

Not all cosmic civilizations have the same favorable initial conditions for development as human civilization.

Thinking of this, he felt even more sincere respect for the Scud civilization before him.

They developed the technology to reach space simply by relying on the wisdom and power of their own civilization.

This is truly commendable.

Dolan continued his story.

The reason why Cadent has evolved into its current state is because the Scud civilization has been relentlessly mining minerals and resources from the deep underground of the planet for thousands of years.

As they dug deeper, the entire rocky planet gradually became scarred and devastated.

Although the source liquid has great effects, it causes serious environmental pollution during the mining and smelting process. Since the theme is to seek survival and development, the Scud civilization does not have the concept of environmental protection.

During the Great Excavation Era, the Scud civilization experienced several civil wars, eventually splitting into more than a dozen alchemical kingdoms.

Due to the multiple conflicts and grudges that exist throughout history, the alchemical kingdoms are still fighting each other to this day.

Li Ye couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

It seems unlikely that the Alliance of Tomorrow will be able to win over the Scud civilization to become an ally of human civilization.

News of the Tomorrow Alliance's visit from space quickly reached the Kingdom of Kron.

Through General Dolan's introduction, Li Ye, as the leader of the Tomorrow Alliance, formally met with King Kron in the form of a holographic projection.

The environmental pollution on Planet Cadent is now extremely severe. For humans, even breathing alone would severely damage their lungs. Even skin contact would cause serious harm.

Like Dolan, King Kron also wore a respirator, and his body was equipped with multiple alchemical components.

Upon learning of Li Ye's purpose, he waved his hand with a hint of regret.

"Although I admire the Solar System Alliance plan proposed by human civilization, you have seen the current situation with your own eyes. More than a dozen alchemical kingdoms are fighting each other, and the Scud civilization is simply unable to form a unified whole."

Both leaders appeared pragmatic, and since an alliance could not be reached, they exchanged only brief pleasantries.

As the ruler of a country, King Kron at least knew some manners of hospitality.

He arranged for officials to lead Li Ye on a tour of the Kingdom of Kron.

Li Ye took the elevator and began to tour the entire giant spire from top to bottom.

Almost every Scudder I saw was equipped with alchemical prosthetics, and some had even undergone full-body modifications.

"Is it necessary to install alchemical prosthetics to survive on Cadent?" he asked curiously.

“No, all we need to do is wear a respirator,” an official replied. “But installing alchemical prosthetics can make our bodies even stronger.”

The Scudders are similar in build and facial features to humans, except that their skin is light green.

However, due to the respirators and numerous alchemical prosthetics they wore, they hardly resembled human beings.

Li Ye focused on observing the "local customs and traditions" of the Kingdom of Kron.

The clothing of the kingdom's citizens is mostly made of corrosion-resistant fabrics from leather, which are not only practical but also highly protective. The colors are mainly dark gray, dark green, and brown to conceal oil stains.

As for food, it was not grown, but synthesized and catalyzed through alchemical techniques. The Scudders used a nutrient solution refined from source fluid to extensively catalyze lichens and fungi in the rock strata in order to produce nutrient pastes and protein blocks.

The Scudders drank a carefully prepared "alchemical beverage," which was multicolored and had a slight chemical smell and fluorescence.

Like all alien civilizations, the Scud civilization also had a hierarchical system, and it was extremely rigid.

The upper class consisted of royalty, nobles, ministers, and generals.

The middle class consists of a large group of technical personnel, including alchemists, mechanics, and plumbers, who are responsible for maintaining the steady operation of the alchemical kingdom.

The lower class consisted of workers engaged in dangerous jobs at the bottom of the spire and scavengers who handled waste.

During the visit, an unexpected turn of events occurred: the Kingdom of Kron was attacked by another alchemy kingdom.

Due to years of mutual warfare, the Alchemy Kingdom's land and air forces have developed into outstanding units.

Fighter jets, tanks, armored vehicles, individual mechs, heavy assault mechs—alchemy-style combat vehicles are emerging in endless streams.

Soldiers deployed on the ground were completely transformed by advanced alchemical technology, making them almost unrecognizable as "human."

Having finished his visit, Li Ye hurriedly bid farewell and led the Tomorrow Alliance on another journey.

Two days later, he unexpectedly discovered a white dwarf star.

A white dwarf is a dead star.

When a star runs out of hydrogen fuel, it will gradually expand into a red giant and eventually collapse into a white dwarf.

Novi sent him images from the white dwarf.

After observing carefully, Li Ye couldn't help but frown.

This white dwarf star looks very strange.

Logically speaking, a white dwarf should be a mathematically perfect sphere with a surface smoother than imagined.

But the white dwarf before us was riddled with holes, like a skull hollowed out by worms.

Its surface is covered with countless deep, irregular holes, and its internal structure can be seen through the holes.

The once incredibly dense planetary material was brutally hollowed out, forming a massive, honeycomb-like labyrinth.

"What kind of planetary activity would cause a white dwarf to become like this?" he asked immediately.

Novi shook her head.

“White dwarfs have extremely stable structures; no celestial activity would cause them to look like this,” she replied. “Even a meteorite or asteroid impact wouldn’t cause it to appear this way.”

A big question mark appeared in Li Ye's mind.

Upon closer inspection, the cavities were found to have large and small tooth marks.

His heart skipped a beat.

"This hole was actually gnawed out by some kind of creature?"

For a moment, he felt somewhat incredulous.

White dwarfs are extraordinary; they possess extremely strong gravity and gravitational pull, capable of instantly crushing any object that comes into primary contact with their surface. Even if an object could withstand this, it would still experience extremely high temperatures and radiation.

Just then, a noise suddenly came from a cavity somewhere on the white dwarf.

It was a strange fish that was five or six hundred meters long.

The head of this "star-eating fish" accounts for one-third of its body length, and its head has a huge mouth with densely packed sharp teeth on both sides. Its body is short and sturdy, and its tail is extremely short.

On the extremely harsh environment of the white dwarf, this star-eating fish swam around as if nothing was wrong, occasionally taking a few bites.

"So it's a strange beast!" Li Ye suddenly realized.

“That’s not necessarily true, Master,” Novi cautioned. “It could also be a mutated creature that descended due to supernatural modifications.”

Li Ye paused for a moment, then nodded gently.

"You're right, then let's test it out."

Because white dwarfs possess strong gravity and gravitational pull, the Alliance of Tomorrow naturally cannot get too close.

After much effort, Li Ye finally lured the Star-Eating Fish from the white dwarf into space and arranged for his troops to surround and attack it. The Star-Eating Fish was simply unbelievable; it almost ignored the powerful gravity of the white dwarf and swam directly into space. Furthermore, it possessed formidable combat power, defensive capabilities, and speed, and even a bio-force field.

The Alliance forces will resolve this issue tomorrow.

As the carcass of the Starfish was moved onto the deck of the Tomorrow, Rino slowly reached out his hand.

Sure enough, some fell.

15 units of level 6 iron ore, 7 units of level 6 saltpeter.

"Is this level 6 mutated creature really that powerful?" he wondered.

In the following period, about a hundred more star-eating fish appeared on the white dwarf.

“Master, according to my calculations, only a million-strong school of star-eating fish could have gnawed a white dwarf into this state,” Novi said.

Li Ye's expression changed immediately.

The Star-Eating Fish is enormous, possesses bug-like stats and a bio-force field, and can even ignore the gravitational pull of stars.

If even a single star-eating fish is this difficult to deal with, then a million star-eating fish would be a veritable mobile natural disaster in the solar system.

Whether it's a meteorite belt, a planet, or a star, it leaves absolutely nothing behind in its wake.

Judging from the view on the white dwarf, the main force of the star-eating fish has long since disappeared.

"Novi, continue to monitor the situation continuously."

A few hours later, Tomorrow Alliance unexpectedly discovered a school of star-eating fish.

This million-strong swarm of star-eating fish converged in space to form an unprecedentedly massive biological wave.

They set off in a mighty procession toward a planet, surrounding it completely in the blink of an eye.

Continental plates crumbled like cookies, and mountains and plateaus collapsed like sandcastles. The entire planet shrank and disappeared rapidly at a visible speed.

As he watched, Li Ye's mood grew heavy.

I don't know if there are any extraterrestrial civilizations on this planet—if there are, they're probably doomed by now.

The star-eating fish swarm didn't even spare the planet's mantle solution and liquid iron-nickel core, greedily absorbing them completely.

They devoured the planet so quickly that it didn't even have a chance to undergo gravitational collapse. The entire planet was like an apple thrown into an industrial shredder, being uniformly and efficiently decomposed and absorbed.

When the star-eating fish finished eating and left satisfied, only a fragmented and scattered asteroid belt remained in the place.

Li Ye immediately issued orders for his troops to hunt the star-eating fish.

He naturally dared not provoke the large force of the Starfish—they probably couldn't even handle a fully equipped level 6 mobile urban combat cluster.

The target of the fish is either a few scattered starfish or a small school of dozens or hundreds of fish.

The force dispatched to the operation consisted of 4 super mobile suits, 6 space fighters, and the Iron Whale.

To avoid startling the large force of star-eating fish, he specifically ordered the combat troops to keep their distance.

Three hours later, he took stock of his gains.

In this battle, the Tomorrow Alliance annihilated two to three thousand Star-Eating Fish.

This allowed him to acquire tens of thousands of units of level 6 iron ore, saltpeter, coal, and cloth, as well as over one hundred thousand crystals.

As for the level 6 blueprints, there are a total of 8 of them.

Two Level 6 city building upgrade blueprints.

One 6th-order urban installation upgrade blueprint.

One Tier 6 Super Mobile Suit Parts Upgrade Blueprint.

Four Level 6 design drawings.

Li Ye immediately began to examine the Level 6 design drawings.

The first set of design drawings surprised him.

【Item Name: Space Combat MA-Hangar 09】

[Level: Level 6]

【附带效果：1.防御力+70% 2.机动性+100% 3.伤害+80%】

【打造需要：3500单位铁矿（6级），500单位精密海战载具配件（6级），4个超级太阳能动力炉（6级）】

【Configuration:】

Large-scale diffusion MEGA particle cannon

[28-cell close-in weapon system launcher]

【"Stone Hammer" Ultra-High Pulse Cannon】

【Storm Missile Array】

Anti-beam smoke emitter

[Defense Force Field Generator]

The so-called "MA" stands for Super Mobile Combat Vehicle, which has a combat capability higher than that of Super Mobile Suit.

It includes not only space combat, but also air combat, naval combat, and land combat.

The MA's design philosophy is "heavy firepower, heavy armor, and high mobility," positioning it on the battlefield as a war fortress.

Judging from the design drawings, Hangar 09 resembles a giant, standing robot. It is 318 meters long and 284 meters wide, its imposing form resembling a steel fortress.

Its overall outline is majestic and solid, with a thick wedge-shaped body that exudes an unshakeable sense of power.

A large diffusion-type MEGA particle cannon is mounted in the center of the machine, a massive "Battle Hammer" hyperpulse cannon is mounted on the right shoulder, and a huge "Storm" missile array is mounted on the left shoulder. Anti-beam smoke emitters and defensive force field generators are installed on the sides.

The head is designed to be compact and efficient, featuring a sensor array capable of scanning the battlefield in 360 degrees.

Its weaponry is sufficient to tear apart enemy fleet lines or inflict devastating damage on enemy fortresses in space warfare.

Li Ye scratched his head.

This MA is great, but the cost is too high!
Level 6 iron ore alone requires 3500 units, and a full four super solar-powered furnaces!
The second set of design drawings surprised him quite a bit.

【Item Name: Space Storage Watch】

[Level: Level 6]

[Additional benefit: Provides the wearer with 9 square meters of personal storage space that is readily available.]

[Crafting Requirements: 5 units of iron ore (Level 6)]

"Are there even design drawings of this type?"

Back on Aetheria, he was somewhat envious of Thorax and Zal's ability to retrieve items from space at will. He never expected this to happen.

Li Ye immediately went to the production workshop and used 5 units of level 6 iron ore to create a space storage watch.

He then put all his personal belongings inside.

"These storage watches aren't expensive to manufacture anyway, so we could consider equipping special forces with them on a large scale to store various types of firearms, grenades, and individual combat supplies," he thought to himself.

In fact, as the Alliance of Tomorrow gradually increases in level, special forces rarely appear due to the limitations of the combat environment.
