Chapter 15: Cosmic Mercenaries
Of course, this matter is very secret, and not many people know about it. In terms of the information secrets of quantum technology, no one has yet been able to break through. At the end, he drank tea and looked at the three-dimensional map of the red ice star punctuated in front of him, wondering who the Apollo Legion would do such a thing.
However, in terms of quantum technology, if there is no way for human beings, then the Protoss is naturally not among them. At this time, in the palace of the prince of the Protoss, all the videos of those teams after landing are connected here. And when he saw the sand and gravel that emitted a dreamlike fluorescence, the prince of the Protoss was a little uneasy. It was a star sand, and there were very few things in the entire universe. But in the video, the sand is scattered across the surface of the Red Ice Star as if it were real sand.
This is naturally something that the Protoss didn't know before, and if they knew, they would definitely take the Red Ice Star for themselves. But it's not too late to find out, they have time. Of course, the Protoss also has to guard against cosmic mercenaries. Those mercenaries are almost everywhere. If they are allowed to discover these star sands, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble. With the current technological strength of human beings, they will definitely not be the opponent of those mercenaries.
Thinking like this, the Protoss prince gave the latest order to the Protoss patrol that had not left the galaxy. Let them go to the Red Ice Star, and after the human beings complete the mission, they will directly take over the Red Ice Star. As for the creatures on Red Ice, those weren't for them anymore.
And it was impossible for the Protoss prince to keep the mercenaries from knowing. Most of those ubiquitous mercenaries are teams that some small tribes in the universe have formed spontaneously after leaving the universe. They only take money and nothing else. Even if it's a quest issued by the undead, they'll take it.
And every time the Protoss wanted to encircle and suppress these cosmic mercenaries, they found that they were like flowing water, and they couldn't catch them, and after the Protoss left, they would gather again. After a few times, the Protoss didn't care about them, and for some tasks, the Protoss would also hire these outlaw mercenaries to complete them.
It is precisely because they have a powerful information network, which is more comprehensive than the Protoss. After all, the Protoss is only a race, and many territories only have allies and are not monitored. Mercenaries, on the other hand, are thousands of races with many surveillance points in the universe. For some peculiar places, they have set up an unknown number of monitoring points to monitor.
And because of its particularity, the Red Ice Star is also monitored by these mercenaries.
And on a dark planet, deep underground tunnels. The temperature here is much higher than the surface temperature. After all, the temperature on the surface of the earth is more than minus 200 degrees, and the temperature here remains at about a few tens of degrees underground due to the activity of the earth's core.
A large number of projection videos are arranged in the corridor. Some of the dangerous and strange places in the universe are monitored here. Of course, compared to the vastness of the universe, these are still only the difference between a brook and the sea. There are still many places where you can't see anything even if you monitor it.
"Why are there more warships in the Red Ice Star?" There aren't many creatures in the entire corridor. A creature of small stature, looking up at a monitor. His hand was only three fingers and was jumping on a screen on his left arm.
Like the Protoss' writing, the creature uses a three-dimensional text, projected in mid-air on the screen on its arm. They have been observing the Red Ice Star for a long time, and there are many things that even they haven't figured out. So there, they just arranged a long-term monitoring point.
"What's wrong? What happened? After the creature tapped the screen a few times, a three-dimensional projection of the creature appeared in front of the creature.
"There's something going on there in Red Ice Star." The creature that had been staying in the corridor whispered. Naturally, they had also been to the Red Ice Star before. But the presence of those green worms made many mercenaries discouraged. At the beginning, a large number of mercenaries went, and naturally some people had already entered the Red Ice Star wearing armor made of siliceous materials, but in the end, nothing was detected, and a lot of lives were filled, and no one cared about it after that.
At this time, it was suddenly discovered that a fleet appeared around the Red Ice Star, which naturally attracted their attention.
"Is it the Protoss?" Obviously, the three-dimensional figure can't see the situation in the corridor.
"No, it seems to be a race called a human race." There is really little information about the human race, they really have very little here, they only know that this is a seventh-level civilization, and the technology is extremely backward.
"Humans?" The figure was slightly stunned for such a word, and then fell into silence. "Keep watching, if there is any movement from the Protoss, it will not be too late for us to go."
The matter of the alliance between the human race and the Protoss, their information here naturally also contains it. If humans discover valuable resources on the Red Ice Star, then the Protoss will definitely intervene. The Protoss is not fair and just in many things, and it is in their habit to sacrifice the weak group for the benefit of the race. The rule of the jungle is vividly expressed in the universe.
"No need, I just intercepted the information from the Protoss. They've already sent a patrol to Red Ice Star. "The movements on the side of the Protoss, they are naturally closely monitored, and a lot of information undead don't know, but the mercenaries definitely know. Of course, this is all trivial information, and if it is a real military transfer, etc., they will not be able to intercept it.
"Looks like there's still something good on the Red Ice Star." The figure whispered. "Post this quest and see who will take it!" After speaking, press the figure to end the call. As for the task of releasing the task later, he didn't need to worry about it.
On a planet covered in black magma in the depths of the universe, a black castle stands atop an extinct volcano. There were no creatures in the entire castle, much later. In a secret room deep inside the castle, a black coffin slowly opened. Then a figure sat up. A faint light lit up in the chamber, illuminating his resolute white face. And his figure is the same as the three-dimensional creature that appeared in the corridor before.
"Humans?" Whispering the word again. It seems that this word made him think of a lot of things. The fair right hand rubbed his forehead. He didn't know how long he had been asleep. He wasn't ready to wake up this time from a deep sleep. However, because of this word, he woke up again.
This is the king behind the mercenary, no one has seen him, no one knows what race he belongs to, and no one knows when he took the right to be a mercenary. The only thing that is known is that he belongs to the category of intelligent beings.
Of course, these things that happened in the depths of the universe were unknown to human beings, and the Protoss patrol that received the order also rushed to the Red Ice Star at this time.
On the Red Ice Star, Mo Ran and the others walked cautiously towards the front. There is no direction here. If you look at the direction of the earth. They're heading north now.
The tall trees seemed to support the entire sky. And as they acted, they received a surprising piece of news.
"The oxygen content on the surface of the Red Ice Star is 12 percent." That's an amazing statistic. You know, on most of the civilized planets known to man, there are not many that have oxygen. On the Red Ice Star, the oxygen content has reached 12 percent. It's a weird thing. However, oxygen levels are still very low, making them unsuitable for human life.
Of course, they didn't know that just as they were amazed, the patrol of the Protoss appeared in orbit on the periphery of the Red Ice Star. Both the Jinghua and Admiral Hawke of the Allied Third Fleet were amazed. However, when the Protoss said that they were only here to help humanity on their mission, no one said anything.
In the universe, the right to speak is the fist. Whoever has a big fist and a hard fist will have enough right to speak. When the Protoss said this, naturally no one raised any objections. However, the thinkers in the Starport Command naturally don't really think like that. And for the Protoss to be in such a situation, only the things that humans have discovered before are things that the Protoss are interested in.
It's impossible for humans and gods to fight. The only thing that can be done is to take some samples and study them on their own.
And among the many sources, in the end, only a few possibilities were obtained. One is the green worms, and the other is the fluorescent sand. And the final conclusion is that the sand.
"It should be a very important resource." However, the thinkers of the Starport Command could not imagine the number of Star Sands in the universe. It's an incredibly scarce resource. It's like when humans first saw the Diamond Planet. If they had seen a lot of them at the beginning, they would not have been able to imagine the scarcity of such resources.
Mo Ran and the others approached a tall tree trunk under the orders of Major Ye Feng. Around this trunk, the number of star sand is noticeably small. Of course, humans at this time don't know why.
"These are also going to take some samples." The team leader explained softly. Then he pulled out a dagger from his waist and picked a small piece of bark from the trunk and placed it in the vial in the rucksack.
The creatures they had seen before, they hadn't encountered again. It seems that they know what humans are doing. Except that the lighting balls were covered at first, and then they seemed to disappear. There was also an order from above to find the creatures on the Red Ice Star, but in the face of these creatures who were deliberately hiding, Mo Ran really didn't know how to find them.
And without the knowledge of Mo Ran, a squad of the allies received a new order. That is to find the team of Mo Ran, and then leave this team on the Red Ice Star forever.
