Chapter 417 Resource Planet Number Four (1/2)
In reality, only a god rank mecha could truly adjust itself to a Mecha Master. But what kind of existence was that? Every such mecha had its unique title and was only owned and operated by the strongest Mecha Masters. They were all trump cards of a space fleet and they were still far from that level.
It was precisely because they didn’t have the ability to survive in space that they were filled with dread towards space.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Qi brought everyone out of the spacecraft. A small team of Federation soldiers was already waiting outside.
The one in the lead was an officer with the rank of colonel. He was dressed in the standard silver uniform of the Federation and appeared to be in his thirties. He saluted Xiao Qi and Xiao Qi returned the salute.
“Hello, Teacher Xiao. Welcome to Resource Planet Number Four, everything is ready. Please follow me.” With that said, he made an inviting gesture and did not speak further.
Lan Xuanyu looked at those Federation soldiers curiously. They were all dressed in silver military uniforms with shining patterns on them. Those weren’t decorations but simplified soul arrays.
Lan Xuanyu had learned that this was a high-grade military uniform that only Federation soldiers who carried out interstellar missions wore. It had the ability to replenish one’s energy and could resist all sorts of harsh environments. With a simple face mask in addition, one could even carry out missions in space for a short period of time. It was a bleeding-edge technology now widely used. It was said that it was developed by the Tang Sect.
He had learned these because the ordinary soldiers of the space fleet used this uniform too.
Very soon, they were brought into a huge room. Rather than calling it a room, it would be more accurate to call it a warehouse. There were already some things prepared. They were metal backpacks that didn’t look big and were slightly bigger than ordinary backpacks. There were also a set of uniforms that were the same as those soldiers. On each uniform was a helmet.
“Teacher Xiao.” The colonel hinted to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi nodded. “Let’s begin.”
“Alright.” The colonel’s gaze landed on the first years led by Lan Xuanyu and he said in a deep voice, “Firstly, we welcome all of you to Resource Planet Number Four. As its name implies, this planet is mainly for the sake of obtaining resources for the Federation. This type of planet is unsuitable for living but has all sorts of rich deposits. It is an important resource to sustain the Federation’s rapid development. All of you will be completing a mission here. The mission is called: Exploration.”
“We have already completed our exploration of Resource Planet Number Four. The most unique characteristic of this planet is that it produces all sorts of rare metals. Different types of rare metals appear in different regions of the planet. And your exploration mission is to go to these regions to take a look. To prove that you have arrived at these places, you need to obtain at least one kilogram of rare metals from different regions and bring them back here. Each of you will have to obtain at least two types of rare metals, which is the goal of the test. If you can bring back more rare metals, your test grades will go up. What I mean by more metals, is the quantity and the diversity of the metals you bring back here. More variety will help improve your score.”
“After that, all of you will receive the necessary equipment to complete the mission. The military uniform is able to resist the harsh environment to a certain extent, but it has been stripped of its anti-gravity system. Therefore, all of you need to rely on your own abilities to resist the planet’s gravity. Here, the gravity is about twice that of the Mother Planet. At the same time, the oxygen inside the mask can sustain for about five Mother Planet days. All of you need to complete the mission within this period of time. The backpack has a place to store rare metals, and if it is overloaded, all of you will have to think of a new way. At the same time, the backpack has compressed food and water that will last you for five days. Please come forward to receive your supplies, the test will begin immediately.”
It was a simple mission introduction, but Lan Xuanyu listened attentively. From the colonel’s description, he knew that the test was to survive in harsh conditions and obtain rare metals. There weren’t any battles,they mainly had to adapt and survive in a harsh environment. Also, they were equipped with food and water. It didn’t seem to be difficult, but the more it was like this, the more cautious he became. He could tell from the way he landed and looked down from space that this planet’s environment was probably very bad.
“Additional point,” Xiao Qi said indifferently. “Different teams with different numbers have different criteria for obtaining basic test results. A team with two people and three people has to obtain at least three types of rare metals, which means they have to explore three areas. A team with four people and five people has to obtain four. And a team with six people and above has to obtain five types of rare metals.” When he said the last sentence, his gaze landed on Lan Xuanyu.
There was no doubt that obtaining five types of missions was set up for Lan Xuanyu’s team.
It sounded fair. Different soul masters had different abilities. In a team, the more soul masters there were, the more complementary their abilities would be and their ability to survive would naturally be stronger.
