652 – Sky Fighters’ Rules
After entering space, the spacecraft became even more stable. Lan Xuanyu and his classmates didn’t talk much. While everyone was excited, they were also somewhat nervous. This was a mission that belonged to them, a real mission. It wasn’t a test from the academy, but a mission that was truly life-threatening! This was their first time.
The white-clothed, middle-aged woman walked to the front of the cabin and held a triangular metal in her hand. She knocked it gently a few times and produced a clear “ding ding” sound, attracting everyone’s attention.
“Greetings, Sky Fighters, I am the person in charge of this operation. My name is Yan Ruoting. As there are many new Sky Fighters participating in this operation today, I will briefly explain the situation of this mission and the things that Sky Fighters have to take note of during the mission, please listen carefully.”
Yan Ruoting’s voice didn’t have many characteristics and didn’t carry much emotion.
“Firstly, on behalf of the Sky Fighter Division, I welcome all of you. All of you should already know that you will receive corresponding points and military contributions after completing the Sky Fighter Division’s mission. These points and military contributions will also represent your authority in the Sky Fighter Division in the future. Sky Fighters of different ranks will naturally differ in authority.”
“As all of you have just joined the Sky Fighter Division to carry out missions, all of you are still reserve Sky Fighters. After you complete a mission, your title will be official. The ranking of Sky Fighters is very simple, just like soul masters, from rank 1 to 9. The lowest rank is rank 1, while the highest rank is rank 9. When your points reach a certain level, you will naturally increase your rank and gain a higher authority. The points spent will not affect the total points you have obtained. All the points earned will be accumulated when it comes to your authority.”
“For a reserve Sky Fighter to be promoted to a first rank Heaven Fighter, other than completing a mission, you also need 100 points. Higher ranks require even more points. You guys can look through the newbie manual.”
“The higher your rank, the more resources you will be able to mobilize from the Sky Fighter Division. For example, when you achieve a certain rank, you can directly mobilize a warship from the Sky Fighter Division to go with you when you are carrying out a mission, and you don’t have to use public flying transports. That way, it will be faster and more convenient. The warship will only serve you, and the specific time of the mission will be set by you guys. High-ranking Sky Fighters have the authority to go anywhere in the Federation. For example, when you’re carrying out a mission with the military, you can enjoy the benefits of your military contributions and command low-ranking officers and troops. All Sky Fighters are backed up by an organization, so when you’re carrying out a mission, you have to consider your own organization. Your actions will be directly reported to your organization, and the same goes for any problem. If Sky Fighters commit crimes, just like ordinary citizens, they have to be punished by the law and expelled at the same time.”
“Also, I have to emphasize that the majority of the missions that Sky Fighters carry out are classified missions. Hence, everyone must be extra careful in the process of carrying out the missions. Leaking information is the most serious crime in the Sky Fighter Division.”
Lan Xuanyu and his classmates listened attentively. This was related to their personal interests. They represented Shrek Academy and if there was a problem, it would be equivalent to a problem for Shrek.
“For more details, you can read through the newbie’s handbook carefully. There is a detailed introduction on it. Next, let’s talk about the operation.”
“The situation on Dragon Source Planet is a little unique. Initially, when we investigated this planet, we thought that it could be used as an administrative planet. It isn’t very big and is about 30% the size of the Mother Planet. There are some plants growing on it and there is also a water source. But after careful exploration, the Federation realized that this planet isn’t suitable for humans to live on.”
As she spoke, the wall behind Yan Ruoting lit up. It was actually a big screen with a planet on it.
The image was a view down from space and one could see that this planet seemed to be made up of yellow and green. Obviously, there were plants.
The image enlarged to the surface of the planet.
As expected, there were dense forests, hilly areas, mountains, rivers, lakes, and everything else. At least from the surface, it seemed like a planet that could be suitable to humans.
“The nutrients in the air of this planet are 11% less than on the Mother Planet. We humans can barely survive in this air. It’s just like living in a highland area of 1,500 meters to 2,000 meters. This is a rather good discovery. But we soon realized that all the plants here are not suitable for consumption and have strong toxins for us humans. The same goes for the water source. It contains some peculiar elements and just a small sip would take our lives. The soil of Dragon Source Planet is also very special and has strong radioactive elements. Living there for a long time will easily cause mutations in the human body. Simply put, for us humans, this is a poisonous planet and we can’t live there at all.”
“However, through our research, we also discovered that not only are there life forms on this planet, but there are also some ores that are worth developing. As everyone knows, the most important component of modern Federation technology is rare metal. The Positive Circulation Source Core extracted from rare metals is the propulsion force for all Federation technology. So, when exploring and developing any planet, finding rare metals is also extremely important. And on this planet, we’ve discovered a new type of rare metal.”
“This type of rare metal is unique to this planet and we named it Dragon Source Ore. It is very active and contains a lot of energy. After testing, a Positive Circulation Source Core created from it has 45 times more energy than Heavy Silver and 16 times more than Mithril. It is one of the top five rare metals that we have discovered so far. Most importantly, compared to the other types of metals that are rich in energy, the Dragon Source Ore on Dragon Source Planet is extremely abundant. Almost 10% of the entire planet is made of this metal. So, Dragon Source Planet is very important to the Federation. After making the decision, the Federation decided to develop it as a resource planet.”
“But during the development process, we encountered trouble. The reason why this planet was able to give birth to life was directly related to the evolution stage of the planet itself. This is a planet that is already very advanced in evolution. There are powerful creatures living on it, similar to dragons.”
“The dragons there are not real dragons. We have checked their bloodlines and they have a type of bloodline that we have never seen before. They contain extremely dense metal elements. These Proto Dragons do not eat plants or meat but grow up eating Dragon Source Ore. This is also the reason why they continue to evolve and are extremely strong. Proto Dragons rely on splitting and when the concentration of Dragon Source Ore in their blood is too high, they will split. They will split into new Proto Dragons. After multiple splits, their body functions will decline and eventually, they will become rigid and transform back into Dragon Source Ore.”
“So, on Dragon Source Planet, the Proto Dragons have their ecosystem. And there are a large number of them, almost covering the entire planet. They are extremely aggressive. Even if they are on their own, they are constantly killing each other. They are not very intelligent, and as long as they encounter a living creature, they will immediately attack. Their sharp claws and teeth can easily tear through a mecha’s defense, and their entire bodies are poisonous.”
“In order to occupy Dragon Source Planet and mine, the Federation invested a large amount of military strength. We had also considered using space warships to attack. However, under high temperature, Dragon Source Ore would mutate and lose its energy activity. If we use warships to attack, it would cause a huge loss of Dragon Source Ore. Hence, we can only attack from the ground.”
