The thing Xiaohu sent turned out to be a fist-sized Kongming Stone!
What surprised Qu Jianlei even more was that one side of the Kongming Stone actually revealed a cross section that was obviously new!
"Is this the thing that hit the starship just now?"
"Cracked," the big-headed butterfly turned around and replied with regret.
"It was originally about the size of a tire, so I just grabbed such a small piece...is that what you want?"
"I'm going, Kong Mingshi?" Xizhao's spiritual consciousness came, and immediately after, the ruler flew into the cabin.
It circled around the Kongming Stone, obviously a little excited, "Let me just say, it's an energy tide, not a vortex!"
Its reaction had already alarmed everyone, and several rays of consciousness followed it.
Tianyin and Claire even ran over directly, wanting to know what happened.
Qu Jianlei didn't care about the sunset - tides and whirlpools were just names.
"You mean, this situation is suitable for giving birth to the Kongming Stone?"
"That's probably it!" Xizhao was in a good mood, "The Kongming Stone itself is...well, let me organize the language first."
Its general meaning is that Kongming Stone has the properties of both space and time, and is a substance that cannot occur naturally in nature.
So they will only appear in boundary barriers or boundary membranes.
If you want to get these substances, you must be an unstable space node, so that you can throw some out from time to time.
But then again, such a space node is only one of the conditions. It does not mean that there is an empty underworld stone if there is a node.
Even Xizhao himself cannot accurately describe the conditions for the birth of Kongming Stone.
Just like its understanding of the various arts of cultivating immortals, it only knows this statement. As for the details... why should it be clarified?
Generally speaking, there must be a void stone in the barrier of the realm!
Whether it was the gap in the confrontation between the Federation and the Empire, or the hole in the different space that once appeared on Qingsha Star, this object has never appeared.
But at the same time, Xizhao insisted, "...I have some feelings about the Kongming Stone."
"I chose this weak energy ball because I had this hunch!"
"Appearance, I want to know the appearance," Qu Jianlei reminded it impatiently, "Has a gap in space already appeared here?"
"Also, how much will such a Kongming Stone usually leak out?"
Xizhao answered very straightforwardly, "These situations...can't we verify them now?"
Duogan ducked over, picked up the Kongming Stone, took a look at it, and nodded thoughtfully.
Then she said aloud, "It has been many years since Senior Yi He tried to close the town..."
The meaning was obvious. Qu Jianlei nodded after hearing this.
"Then we have to take it seriously now and try to sense... Let me go, how do you sense this kind of environment?"
However, instead of blocking possible gaps in space, everyone is more willing to look for the Kongming Stone!
The former is just a responsibility and can even be regarded as moral, but the latter may actually shorten the duration of practice.
So a group of people immediately started discussing how to detect the existence of the Kongming Stone in such a harsh environment.
In fact, the methods...are still the same, it's just about how to arrange them reasonably.
First of all, the active detection function of the regiment-level ship is turned on to the maximum pressure - this has not been done before.
The main reason is that if this kind of equipment is turned on to its peak value for a long time, it will easily cause damage. Everyone thinks that it is enough.
Secondly, everyone needs to use spiritual perception.
The Fourth Master first took the initiative to test it and found that the chaotic energy here would not harm the consciousness.
However, the effect of spiritual perception is much worse when a person is in the cabin. It is best to perceive outside the starship.
But in the current external environment, even the defense of regiment-level ships is very difficult.
If a person goes out, he won't be able to hold on for long even if he grits his teeth.
Therefore, it is necessary to activate the spirit gathering array internally, at least to ensure the speed of everyone's spiritual energy recovery.
Then they were divided into different classes, with Nutrient and Qu Jianlei in the same class, Duo Gan and Si Dangjia in the same class, and Mrs. Jia and Mu Guang in the same class.
Senior Xizhao... formed an independent class!
In addition, everyone also gave a suggestion to let the boss build a defensive array on the lifting platform of the regiment-level ship!
The defensive array he built was different in nature from the protective shield. It was derived from the defensive array of immortal cultivators. The only difference was that it was driven by energy blocks.
This kind of defensive formation is more defensive from the outside than the inside, and without the barrier of armor, it is more convenient for spiritual perception.
Not to mention that the wisdom of the masses is infinite, and various measures have been devised by everyone.
Building a defensive array on a lifting platform requires very sophisticated reinforcement skills.
But everyone thinks that this is not a problem for the boss - after all, he is an expert at rubbing equipment with his hands.
However, even with the protection of a defensive array, using spiritual consciousness at high intensity for a long time is still very tiring.
Qu Jianlei and Nutraceuticals were the first team, and they persisted for six hours before decisively withdrawing.
At this moment, they can continue to persevere, but Qu Jianlei believes that this level of fatigue is just right, not too much.
The other three liners come down in turn, and they can rest for at least eighteen hours.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed, and no one caught the Kongming Stone.
However, this situation is also expected. If there were really so many Kongming Stones, they would have become widespread in the empire.
Anyway, the people participating are all perseverant people, and no one's mood is affected by the boring and repetitive work.
When Dogan and Fourth Master were in the same class, they suddenly discovered obvious abnormal energy.
Dogan did not notify the artificial intelligence to change the route, but took decisive action when he was two hundred kilometers away from the thing.
What the big hand grabbed was not the Kongming Stone, but an arc bone the size of a basin, which felt like the skull of something!
Duogan had known for a long time that what he was targeting was not the Kongming Stone, but when he saw this thing, he still couldn't help but curl his lips.
"This is...when did I become a rag picker?"
But even though she said that, she still put it away without hesitation.
Needless to say, it is enough to say that after a long period of time, this bone still has a strong Nascent Soul aura, which is enough to show its strength.
Energetic materials are precious, the boss said it himself!
But when she showed her boss her harvest, for some reason, she always felt that his expression was a little weird...
Duogan's class opened, and then Xizhao also opened.
It collected a buggy-sized chunk of ore that looked like rosemary copper.
This is an isotope of copper that is widely used in the manufacture of various high-end synthetic materials, mainly acting as a catalyst.
This substance cannot be synthesized artificially and is quite rare in nature. On the imperial market, its price is more expensive than gold.
But Xizhao said, "This is not rosemary copper at all...it is Tianxing copper with star patterns, which is worth a lot of money in the world of immortality!"
However, when Xizhao obtained the Tianxing Copper, he was not polite to Xiaohu and directly informed the regiment-level ship to change its direction.
In fact, by now, the regiment-level ships have been changing directions constantly.
There is no way, the energy turbulence puts too much pressure on the starship. If you forcefully carry the pressure and move forward in a straight line, it will be easily damaged.
For Xiaohu, it is now like being on a battlefield, trying to avoid any potential risks as much as possible.
Fortunately, it won't get lost. If other starships want to operate it like this, they have to consider whether they can find their way back.
The starship frequently moved erratically, and when Xizhao ordered it to change course, there was naturally no hesitation.
Dogan discovered this and secretly remembered it in his heart - I don't need to carry it hard in the future.
In this chaotic environment, she just used her big hand and consumed some spiritual energy, but she did not borrow the power of artificial intelligence.
Not long after, Sunset had another harvest - a tattered flag.
When Qu Jianlei saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Why are all these people starting to lose their reserve?
He just cursed secretly, never thinking that in this situation, Xizhao could still sense the slightest movement in the cabin.
It said angrily, "Why, can't you feel the breath on this flag?"
"I sensed it," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "But this magic weapon is already broken."
"This is a very rare light magic weapon," Xizhao said seriously, "The materials alone are priceless!"
"Okay, you're right," Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly: Is it me... taking the lead?
Xizhao was on duty for six hours and collected these two items in total.
But in fact, with such results, it can be said to be unparalleled.
In such an environment, other expedition teams would be lucky to encounter one in ten days.
In the next class, it’s Qu Jianlei and nutritional supplements again.
Nutrient is a bit competitive, "Shall we collect other items as well?"
"It's not necessary," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "If you encounter it, you can put it away. There is no need to go out to look for it."
"We must remember the main purpose clearly, everything else is just details."
The two were talking when they suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound.
The two of them looked down and saw a tentacle in the shape of a slime suddenly sprouting from the ankle of Nutrient.
The tentacles pointed in a certain direction, feeling quite excited.
"This is..." Qu Jianlei frowned and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Some guys' spiritual enlightenment methods are really bad!
"Let's go and take a look first," the nutritional agent said in a deep voice, "Maybe there is a high-quality fire."
Qu Jianlei didn't object. It must not be a small thing to make a guy who fishes for money get so excited.
Following the direction pointed by the fire spirit, the starship flew hundreds of kilometers in an instant, but there was no discovery at all.
"This is..." Qu Jianlei frowned slightly. He didn't believe that the newborn fire spirit could sense very far away.
Nutrients looked down at his ankles and said, "It's turning!"
However, the tentacles of Fishing Girl have changed their direction and become a little thicker.
Obviously, the distance between the other party is very close, but they didn't notice it?
So she increased the intensity of her spiritual consciousness, and Qu Jianlei notified Xiaohu to change direction.
