Chapter 52: Out of this Predicament

“Mu, do you think we’re heading in the right direction?” Ye Chong asked in desperation of having a conversation with Mu as though he hadn’t spoken to him for days.

“The probability of escaping is the same no matter which direction we opt to go for,” Mu replied calmly.

“But Mu, why do you need so much black gold ore?” Ye Chong asked curiously.

“That information is classified! I am not in place to say anything regarding this matter,” Mu answered with full of mystery. Mu added that black gold ore was an extremely rare mineral. The black gold derived from the ore, which was scientifically named Klose, had not only outstanding physical characteristics, but also self-restoration capabilities. The latter was the mineral’s most valuable quality.

Who would have thought that the black gold ore that he found along the way was more than he had ever mined before altogether. Mu kept all the black gold ore in his alternate dimension. No matter how large the ore was, Mu only needed to raise his hands and the ore would vanish into thin air. Ye Chong was very impressed by his talent! It was a pity when Mu told him that that was an exclusive trick of his which was never taught to others.

Ye Chong was discouraged and twitched his mouth. Suddenly, he realized something he had never thought of before. “Ah, I heard that there were many skillful mech engineers and mechanics on Black Cove. I should have asked them if they could restore you! How could I have forgotten that?” Ye Chong hit his head lightly with disappointment. In front of Mu, Ye Chong acted like a complete different person!

“The mech you are piloting now is one of their products?” Mu asked.

“Yeah, this mech is not so bad after all!” Ye Chong replied.

“Then they would never be able to restore me,” Mu said with confidence. The arrogance in his tone made Ye Chong gave him a sidelong glance.

Fortunately, Ye Chong had the habit of having backup energy cells with him. No matter how durable the F-58 can be, it’s would have been depleted if not for those backup cells. Ye Chong had the high energy organic liquid food stored as emergency ration on the mech as he yearned for the delicacies at the canteen in Black Cove. This further increased his suffering.

Mu was still in the alternate dimension to minimize energy usage.

Black Cove mechs were very advanced. Ye Chong’s F-58, for example, was only a training mech, but all of its parts and accessories were far more advanced than all the high tech mechs Ye Chong had ever piloted before. The overall performance was also a level above the rest. As for the engine, the design for this model was different from that of the more popular engine structures in the market. Ye Chong had once dissected the F-58 himself for inspection. Whether it was in terms of the engine power or continuous flight time, the F-58’s engine outperformed the so-called superb engines in the market by a wide margin.

Of course, compared to Mu’s sophisticated engine structure, it was still child’s play. Ye Chong still had not managed to decipher Mu’s engine schematics diagram.

Ye Chong and Mu found another half-a-meter wide black gold ore. Ye Chong summoned Mu from the alternate dimension and Mu immediately approached the black gold ore.

Suddenly, Ye Chong sensed something amiss and spoke to Mu with full of uncertainty, “Mu, look! The asteroids here are a lot fewer!”

Mu replied lazily, “To be precise, the unit space density of asteroids here is 62% less than it was ten hours ago. However, this percentage has a certain random factor and is only used as a reference!”

Ye Chong was excited. “It looks like we’re flying in the right direction!”
