As the gastric fluid threatened to engulf her area, she had no choice but to find a higher spot to stay. However, it was still too early for the scheduled time. If she activated the mech too soon, the energy fluctuations from the mech would surely alert the star beast.
The star beasts were particularly sensitive to technology created by humans, a fact Lin Yao had already learned in the Mingguang Star System. If they became alert and moved, all her efforts would be in vain.
Just as she was caught in this dilemma, she suddenly noticed a black object rising and falling with the movement of the yellow sea of gastric fluid. She took a closer look and confirmed that this object was indeed floating comfortably in the fluid. In that instant, she made a decision.
She found several thick pieces of spaceship debris and used their buoyancy to slowly maneuver towards the black object. As she got closer, she poked it through the sleeve of her advanced spacesuit to ensure it wouldn’t corrode. After pressing down firmly and discovering that it could support her weight, she decisively crawled out.
With the rapid dissolution of the spaceship, the liquid in the stomach gradually increased, causing the black object to start moving downward with the peristalsis of the stomach. Lin Yao's field of vision, which had been spacious at first, began to narrow.
As the peristalsis intensified, the surrounding environment transformed from a yellow ocean and semi-wet marshland to a gradually drying space. Observing the writhing walls around her, Lin Yao speculated whether she was moving from the stomach into the intestines. Was this star beast preparing to defecate?
The thought filled her with joy. Being expelled directly by the star beast would be incredibly safe. As long as she could position her compressed energy cannon at that critical spot just before it expelled her, it would be a weak point attack—the star beast wouldn't be able to escape.
She glanced at her watch; it was almost five minutes until their rendezvous. She hoped everything would go smoothly!
While Lin Yao navigated through the star beast's belly, Tang Zhenghe and others were unaware of her journey but were on high alert, counting down each second and keeping a close eye on their positioning device, fearing any mishap at this critical moment.
The countdown continued steadily...
As five minutes approached, Lin Yao still hadn’t emerged, tightening everyone’s hearts with anxiety. That young girl wouldn’t have encountered any accidents inside the star beast’s belly, would she?
When the final second ticked down, one of the communications officers turned to Tang Zhenghe and asked, "Commander, should we issue the firing order?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the communicator in the operator's hand began to ring. It was Lin Yao. After the operator reported, he immediately pressed the answer button. The compressed energy cannon had only ten seconds left before it would explode, and the starships could attack.
Everyone felt that Lin Yao's voice was like a heavenly melody. Tang Zhenghe let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Order all starships to attack immediately!"
With Tang Zhenghe's command, the starships hovering outside the planet's atmosphere launched their attacks simultaneously. Those in the ruined base felt the planet shake twice, and soon, with the wails of the star beasts, the battle came to an end.
While Lin Yao was temporarily directing operations, Tang Zhenghe had already arranged for people to prepare for cleanup of the battlefield. Upon seeing Lin Yao appear, Tang Zhenghe expressed his warm welcome with great joy.
"Commander Tang, I have some news. I wonder if reporting it now would still earn me a reward?" Lin Yao said with a grin.
"You’ve made a great contribution today! As long as it’s not too outrageous, I’ll count it as your merit!" Tang Zhenghe laughed heartily.
"Then you’re saying it!" Lin Yao chuckled mischievously, like a mouse that had stolen oil. "I found an energy mine in a place where the star beasts were hiding. I’m not sure if it got blown up by the starship cannons."
"What is an energy mine?"
"It’s a mine made up of countless energy stones."
"This stuff can usually be used as currency. All technological products on Yunmeng Star—small appliances, large mechas, and starships—can utilize it. The only difference is in the energy concentration contained within different products."
"Natural energy stones are usually refined for use in large machinery like mechas and starships due to their immense and pure energy content."
"Such a precious thing could potentially be blown to bits!"
Tang Zhenghe exclaimed: "One second you’re laughing, and the next second you’re not!"
"Why didn’t you say this earlier?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier? You wouldn't have blown up then?"
Tang Zhenghe replied, "Of course, there will still be explosions. It's just... well, the death of the Star Beast is an unexpected gain if the energy mine is still intact. If it’s not, then let’s just pretend we never found it!"
With the Star Beast dead and no worries left behind, Tang Zhenghe quickly dispatched people to gather everyone on the planet and send them aboard the starship to Yunmeng Star for further arrangements.
Lin Yao and Su Rui, being among the few deceived, were placed together with the others despite their special circumstances. The rest of the group was gradually reunited with their guardians and picked up by family members under the organization of the Yunmeng Special Police Headquarters. In the end, only Lin Yao and Su Rui remained.
Lin Yao hesitated to contact her uncle, her guardian, which was why she was stalling. Su Rui, being an alien with a special status, insisted on sticking close to Lin Yao.
Just as they were at a standstill, they suddenly heard someone say, "Mares, I heard you've been lingering at the Special Police Headquarters unwilling to leave."
Both turned towards the voice in surprise, finding a familiar face. "Lin Yao! Long time no see."
Lin Yao was equally astonished to see Academician Zheng. "Long time no see, Academician Zheng."
With Academician Zheng vouching for her, Lin Yao was able to leave the Special Police Headquarters smoothly. It was at this moment that she learned Su Rui's real name was Mares, a genius mecha manufacturer from the intermediate level of Rylan.
He had encountered a bottleneck while designing a new type of mecha and had come to seek inspiration. Passing through the Yunmeng system and hearing about its unique environment, he decided to take a look around.
As for his connection with Academician Zheng, it stemmed from the fact that Mares' teacher had previously collaborated with him. When his teacher learned he would be visiting, he specifically contacted Academician Zheng to ask him to look after this troublesome student.
What kind of prestige does it carry to be a genius mecha manufacturer at the intermediate level?
It should be noted that currently, there weren’t even any beginners in mecha manufacturing within the Yunmeng system. If Mares' level in mecha production was ten out of ten, then all the mecha manufacturers in the First Research Institute combined might not even reach one.
Such a stark difference in expertise meant that even if he casually mentioned a couple of things about mecha manufacturing, it would be invaluable guidance for them.
Thus, upon receiving news from his teacher, Academician Zheng was overjoyed and instructed his staff to pay special attention to Mares’ situation.
