Chapter 591: Lunar base
The rocket kept moving faster and faster, gradually encountering the astral winds.
Astral winds were not real winds.
Actually it was just raging flow of energy.
This kind of high power energy flow was enough to tear apart even the strongest resistance and this was the reason why normal flying machines or beings couldn’t enter deep space. Miracle City’s rocket was specially designed against this kind of environment, so not only did it have enough fuel, the rocket itself was covered in large amounts of resistant runes and arrays.
The rocket controlling Smart Brain would automatically analyze the situation of the surrounding area and it would activate the source energy arrays around the rockets. These source energy arrays didn’t just strengthen the body of the rocket, it also counterbalanced the destruction of the astral winds, allowing the rocket to fly even more stable.
Meng Yingying’s voice came from the communication device, “Vivian, Jin Luo, how are you guys?”
Vivian and Jin Luo’s cultivations weren’t weak, with Vivian being at the peak 7th True Spirit Layer and Jin Luo being raised by City Lord Bo Sha sparing no expense, she was already a 1st Heaven Domain Layer peak expert. Although the rocket became faster and faster, creating a pressure that mortals couldn’t resist, it didn’t affect the two of them at all.
Vivian quickly picked up the communication device and said, “Relax, it’s fine. We’re in a very, very high place. I can see the entire Forest of Chaos, this really is incredible!”
Meng Qingwu in Miracle City said into the communication device, “You are about to enter Outer Space, so our communications will likely be cut off. You have to be careful of everything, you can’t be negligent!”
“Yes!” Vivian quickly said, “We will definitely succeed!”
It was like Meng Qingwu said, although the coverage of Miracle City’s communication airships were wide, the rocket had already reached an altitude of fifty thousand, which was out of the Heaven’s Net airship’s range. As the rocket kept going higher, the communication became more fuzzy until it finally completely disappeared.
“We are now at twenty thousand kilometers!” Vivian proudly said, “In these tens of thousands of years, I am the elf who has gone the highest!”
Jin Luo said with a smile, “Then I am certainly history’s highest standing Merperson!”
The two of them looked out the window, being able to see most of the continent. There was a variety of colours and complex landscape. There were mountain ranges stretching ten thousand miles, some places covered in forests, some places with tens of thousands of years old volcanoes, and some places with endless wilderness. It really made their eyes open wide.
The rocket’s shaking became stronger and stronger.
It was like thousands of hammers hitting the rocket at the same time, which would normal people wonder if the rocket could hold on or not, but Vivian wasn’t worried at all. One on hand, she had absolute confidence in Miracle City’s product and on the other hand, she still had a Transport Scroll in her pocket. Even if the rocket blew up, at least she still had a chance to teleport out.
Everything was smoother than they imagined.
When the rocket’s fuel was almost consumed, they finally passed through the astral wind region. Vivian and Jin Luo sat down in the cockpit and controlled the rocket with Smart Brain’s help. The exhausted fuel module was abandoned in space and the two of them began to explore with their airship.
Jin Luo was filled with incomparable excitement and novelty, they were already in Outer Space, “What do we do now?”
Vivian looked over the plans and said, “We have already reached an altitude of fifty thousand kilometers. There is no air or gravity in Outer Space, but there also won’t be the danger of the astral winds. Our task is to find an Outer Space ore vein and find a suitable place to land.”
Jin Luo knit her brows, “How can we find an Outer Space ore vein?”
Vivian laughed, “Don’t you see it? It’s everywhere!”
Vivian opened the panoramic view and the Outer Space world appeared in front of them. Outer Space was by no means filled with darkness, there were beautiful illusory gems of purple, white, and blue mixing together. Why would there be such a scene?
This was related to the continent’s planar model.
When the continent plane was formed, the energy symbolizing death and darkness sunk to the bottom of the continent. The energy symbolizing light and thunder gathered at the peak of the continent. As for the elemental energy of wind, fire, water, and earth, they gathered to form the world.
There were large amounts of light and thunder elemental energy flowing at the peak of the plane, therefore they created this dazzling scene because the plane was not a flat surface, but rather a curved surface. The space and time layer would absorb the energy and when large amounts of thunder and light energy were gathered, they would form this incomparably large luminous body. It was a ball rolling around the plane, changing in periods, creating night and day.
The sun seen on the continent was this!
What were the stars?
Jin Luo was certain that stars were giant meteors, but she learned different after coming to Outer Space. The stars that everyone looked up to were actually large energy vortexes.
These energy vortexes were made of pure energy without any element and there was concentrated energy gathered right in the center. After the countless years, the energy was compressed into material form and released from the vortex. Finally they would become large pieces of Star Stones that orbited the vortexes.
There were these vortexes all over the place in Outer Space.
There were countless Star Stones surrounding these vortexes.
Each Star Stone was an important Outer Space material for Miracle Commerce to mine. The Star Crystals inside them could be refined into important materials like Star Iron, Star Copper, and Star Gold. Not only could they be used to strengthen various equipment and be researched, they would be an important material for building airships.
A part of the Star Stone could be gathered into Eyes of the Star. Eyes of the Star were related to spatial law, being used to mark space. It was a very important material for building Transport Towers and Space Gates.
There were star vortexes all over the sky!
They had not been mined since ancient times!
Even if Miracle Commerce mined in large amounts, they couldn’t exhaust it all in a thousand years!
Jin Luo felt that being able to experience this beautiful and mysterious Outer Space world, she didn’t waste her life, “There doesn’t seem to be places to land near the star vortexes.”
“Relax, big brother Chu Tian has already planned everything.” Vivian looked over the plans a few more times, “We’re going to build a base on the moon!”
“Moon?”
Vivian also didn’t understand, but big brother was never wrong.
She drove the airship in a direction and soon there was a giant object that appeared in front of them. At first sight, it was in the shape of an incomparably large silver jade plate and it was perfectly round. This world’s moon was a gathering of energy, being 90% made up of liquid energy, but there was a part of it that fell onto the continent.
“Wa, too beautiful!”
Vivian slowly approached the moon to find a continent that was completely made of pure and flawless jade, not having any plants or other material objects on it.
“Alright, we’re landing!”
Vivian carefully landed on the surface of the moon. This aircraft was specially designed, so it immediately stabilized itself after landing on the moon.
“Done! A safe landing!” Vivian happily clapped her hands, “This aircraft has a prebuilt Transport Tower. We just need to send a letter through the Space Warehouse and Miracle City will be able to directly send people over.”
Jin Luo never thought that everything would be this smooth, “What are we waiting for? Immediately contact Miracle City!”
This task was already over!
When Vivian and Jin Luo thought this, the aircraft’s Smart Brain suddenly spoke up, “Warning! An unknown organism has approached the aircraft, it has a powerful energy! Prepare to engage!”
The two of them looked at each other in panic.
How could there be a living thing in a place like this?
Jin Luo was very worried. It was hard for them to complete this mission and if the airship was destroyed by this living being, their mission wouldn’t have any significance at all. It was a perfect vacuum outside, but with Jin Luo’s 1st Heaven Domain Layer cultivation, she could survive in the vacuum for a long time. However, from Smart Brain’s report, the amount of creatures attracted over was definitely not small!
“There is Miracle City’s special built Mech Suit in the equipment room, we can go out once we equip those Mech Suits. Miracle City will be sending people soon, let’s go take care of it!”
“Alright!”
The two of them took off their clothes and changed into the strange Mech Suit in the equipment room. This armour was completely sealed and one’s body was sealed inside like a can of food. There was a crystal stone mask on the helmet, so it wouldn’t affect one’s vision. Other than that, the equipment installed in the suit allowed people who couldn’t fly to easily fly in the sky.
“We’re going!”
When the two went out the door, the aircraft was already surrounded by strange beings. These creatures looked like insects, looking mostly like mantises with their two giant blades. They seemed to be build of transparent jade and one could clearly see the energy fluid flowing through their bodies.
The creatures of this place were definitely very different from the creatures of the continent.
This was definitely not an ordinary life form and wasn’t an elemental life form. They lived off the energy of the moon, so their bodies were formed from the moon crystal stones. This was a life form raised in this kind of natural environment.
“They’re coming!”
“Be careful, protect the aircraft!”
Countless monsters began to attack.
“Spiritual Wave of Rage!”
Jin Luo released a powerful spiritual energy, instantly blowing back a large group of surrounding monsters. Her hands then came together, “Blue Water Domain!”
Mighty waves of energy were summoned, completely surrounding the aircraft.
Vivian looked at Jin Luo in surprise, never expecting Jin Luo to be an expert with two natural source spirits. Having the water and spiritual attribute at once, that could be considered very rare.
