Bai Zhenzhen was so angry that she gave him a light tap on the head. "I was being sarcastic, you know?"
Due to their trust in Lin Yao, the Light Squad continued their conversation without neglecting their excavation work. The floating stone was not buried very deep, and they quickly unearthed it.
What appeared to be a large white stone felt as light as a feather in their hands, leaving everyone astonished.
Yao Beiluo gently dragged a piece of white floating stone and glanced deeply at Lin Yao. "Captain, is this what you wanted us to dig up?"
Lin Yao was unfazed by his penetrating gaze and replied calmly, "This is called floating stone. It should have a repulsive effect. We’ll take it back for the research team to study and see if it can be useful."
"Floating stone?"
At first, everyone didn’t quite understand the significance of the floating stone. When the research team requested the special forces to organize an excavation, they unearthed a massive stone that surprisingly floated in mid-air. They were left in awe, realizing how aptly named "floating stone" was.
After studying the floating stone, the research team discovered that it was indeed an excellent repulsive material. If used extensively in starships, it could help them overcome the gravitational suppression of Black Porcelain Star.
The discovery of floating stone instantly opened up new avenues for the research team.
In nature, everything exists in balance. On a planet filled with gravitational forces, materials like floating stone could emerge; thus, within the chaotic nebula, there must be various materials that counteract its effects.
The research team adjusted their focus and decided to first develop a batch of repulsive mechas, preparing to send the special forces into the chaotic nebula near Black Porcelain Star for exploration.
With new ideas and renewed hope, the research team immediately went into high gear.
Seeing the research team busy at work, Lin Yao sent Meng Xingchen and Youmi to assist them while she led the rest of the Light Squad and Lin Jue to scour the planet for any potential triggers or other mineral discoveries.
Five years passed in a flash, and finally, the repulsive mechas were successfully modified by the research team.
The members of the special forces, including those from the Light Squad, were eager to compete for the first batch of repulsive mechas to explore the chaotic nebula in outer space around Black Porcelain Star.
"You’re just a bunch of newly adult kids; why do you think you deserve to compete for the repulsive mechas?" one member of the special forces said somewhat defiantly.
Wang Jincheng retorted without hesitation, "Just because we’re newly adult doesn’t mean we lack strength. We’re at Level Seven in both physical skills and abilities."
Physical skills are foundational to abilities; the breadth of one’s mental sea determines their potential limits.
Under Lin Yao’s leadership, the Light Squad achieved their goal of advancing two levels in physical skills over three years. After half a year of mental training in the chaotic nebula, everyone’s physical skills and abilities had steadily improved significantly.
Yao Beiluo had now reached Level Eight in both his physical skills and abilities, making him a genius far ahead of his peers in the Star Alliance. Zhang Feng had also advanced from Level Five to the peak of Level Eight in physical skills, while his abilities lagged slightly behind at Level Seven. Wang Jincheng and Meng Xingchen were a bit behind, having both achieved Level Seven in physical skills and abilities. Wan Xiaoqi's ability progression was slightly slower than her physical training; she was currently at Level Seven in physical skills and Level Six in abilities.
Bai Zhenzhen and Youmi were at similar levels, both at Level Six in physical skills and Level Seven in abilities. Bai Zhenzhen had a bit more training time than Youmi, who was involved in research, giving her a slight edge in physical skills. The one who had made the most significant progress was the native Lin Jue. With access to unified training methods for physical skills, he had accumulated his strength and reached the peak of Level Seven. Even without abilities, he would not be at a significant disadvantage against others of the same level from the Light Squad.
It was due to this substantial improvement and their recent coming of age that they dared to step forward and compete with the Special Forces for spots in the anti-gravity mechs. The disputes below were of little use; Lin Yao approached Yao Zhengqi to express the Light Squad's desire to join them on their space exploration mission.
Although this batch of anti-gravity mechs had passed preliminary launch tests and represented a mission that seemed foolproof, perhaps it was because of Yao Beiluo's presence or seeing Wang Jincheng that Yao Zhengqi appeared somewhat more approachable than when they first met years ago.
"It's not completely foolproof, which is why I want the Light Squad to take the lead. Each member of your Special Forces is invaluable, especially those from your Eastern Squad. You have to gather food while also protecting the research team; you cannot afford any losses," Lin Yao stated.
"You don’t have much experience with mech combat."
"In the year since we came of age, we have been training intensely every day with the mechs, so we are quite proficient now. Besides, we are only going for preliminary exploration; we don’t need extensive experience."
"You have very little space experience; you might not be equipped to handle emergencies."
"This time, I only plan to take Yao Beiluo and Wang Jincheng with me."
"Both of them come from military families. Even before coming of age, under sufficient protection, they wouldn’t lack training with basic mechs."
Thus, after coming of age and formally learning mech operations, their progress was the fastest among everyone and they stood out as the most capable.
Lin Yao’s personal mech skills were unquestionable. She believed that with her experience, protecting these two would not be an issue.
Yao Zhengqi did not know Lin Yao’s thoughts; one was the cousin of a deceased comrade, and the other was his own younger brother. Just hearing their names made him frown.
"Rest assured, I can guarantee their safe return. Moreover, I believe that the best way to protect them is not by shielding them from danger but by equipping them with the ability to face it."
Yao Zhengqi remained silent, his eyes scrutinizing her intently.
Lin Yao's expression remained unchanged, unfazed by his probing. She continued, "Five years ago, I could have brought this group from the Chaos Nebula to Black Porcelain Star. Now that my combat power is on par with yours, you should trust me more."
Among the Light Squad, the one who had truly made the greatest progress was Lin Yao. Five years ago, she was at Level Eight in physical skills and Level Six in abilities.
After five years, while others had only advanced by two or at most three levels, she had improved by three levels in physical skills and four levels in abilities. She was now at Level Eleven in physical skills and Level Ten in abilities, making her a top-tier combat force within the Special Operations Team.
Moreover, the advanced training methods Lin Yao had brought from the Star Alliance had significantly enhanced the physical skills of the Special Operations Team over these five years. For instance, Yao Zhengqi had already broken through to the highest Level Ten of Yunmeng Star and had entered a new level.
