Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1354: Chapter 713: 1985_3

After leaving, Song Chi quickly headed to the central area of the city below his feet, where the core vault of this advanced Mechanical City was located.

In similar fashion to the city’s rugged style, the core vault of the Mechanical City also covered an intimidating large area, which the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong entered silently and without causing any collision.

As the core vault of an advanced Mechanical City, its exterior naturally had a large number of Mechanical Race guards, and not only that, the entrance to the vault itself was also protected by a layer of mechanical block light curtain.

Under normal circumstances, foreign entities would almost be impossible to enter this core vault space quietly without alerting the thousands outside, including the second Seventh Rank Truth Mechanical Giant Beast, personally guarding the city.

Yet, the fact was, Song Chi did it so easily.

At this moment, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had silently entered the vault and was scouring its contents at full speed.

All of this was thanks to a component.

A gold Blink Device component.

[Starlight Flash Spirit Stone Talisman]

To be more precise, it was the "Starlight Flash Spirit Escape" feature of the [Starlight Flash Spirit Stone Talisman] component.

{Starlight Flash Spirit Escape: Consumes 1,000,000 Spectral Energy Points, ignoring spatial blockade, warship binding, forbidden magic domain, time freeze, and other control or obstructive effects, flashes in the designated direction, current maximum flash distance is 9 light-years, with a fixed cooldown time of 50 years.}

If not for this feature, why would Song Chi have bothered to execute the third step of the plan?

Trying to scavenge the top-tier resources from the [Truth Floating Land] silently is not achievable merely by stealth-alone priority; in order to scavenge, one must first be able to access these top-tier resources, right?

The "Starlight Flash Spirit Escape" perfectly resolves this.

As for its lengthy 50-year cooldown, this is manageable, as the cooldown reduction provided by level 90 [Time Chess Board] and level 80 [Purusa Zen Seal] can directly reduce 50 years to 2 years.

Although still somewhat lengthy, compared to the civilization warfare between the Truth Mechanical Civilization and the Star Sea Giant Ape Civilization, which often lasts tens of thousands of years, it is enough for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to be used countless times.

However, there is a prerequisite that the resources in each vault cannot be moved too much; otherwise, if one vault is opened halfway, the news of the theft will spread immediately.

This caused Song Chi, who was currently inside the vault, to delay taking action.

[Truth Type II Alloy·589 tons]

[Truth Type I Alloy·6700 tons]

[Mixed Element Copper Mother Ore·2.8 tons]

[Black Shining Crystal Ore·38 tons]

[Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin·150 wisps]

[Seventh Rank Dominator True Spirit·60 pieces]

[Golden Sanctuary Wondrous Oddity·Transformation Magic Stone]

[Red Artifact Intelligence·Red Sun Intelligence Device]

...

Gazing at the various resources chaotically piled throughout the vault, Song Chi’s eyes rapidly scanned, contemplating which were suitable to take, and which were best left untouched.

Firstly, the Golden Sanctuary Wondrous Oddity [Transformation Magic Stone] definitely shouldn’t be moved; it’s placed in the most conspicuous spot in the vault, visible at the first glance when the vault door is opened.

Thus, if it were truly taken away, it would be easily discovered thereafter.

Twenty minutes later, when Song Chi returned to the underground cave base through the spatial anchor point, the core vault of South 112 City had already returned to tranquility.

From the outside, the core vault showed no signs of change, but in reality, it was not.

The seemingly unchanged piles of resource ores had multiple voids internally, looking unchanged on the surface but, in actuality, quite a bit had already been scavenged.

Besides, Song Chi also took several orange, red, and silver-level oddities from certain corners of the vault, including some High Rank Floating Land Origin, Dominator True Spirit, and others.

The outward appearance of these things seemed unchanged but internally had long been diminished.

Inside the cave base, Song Chi conducted some calculations.

He found that the items he had scavenged this time indeed amounted to quite a lot, although not large in quantity for each item, when combined, their value was extremely considerable.

[Truth Type II Alloy·45 tons]

[Truth Type I Alloy·350 tons]

[Mixed Element Copper Mother Ore·0.4 tons]

[Black Shining Crystal Ore·6 tons]

[Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin·20 wisps]

[Seventh Rank Dominator True Spirit·15 pieces]

[Red Artifact Intelligence·Red Sun Intelligence Device]

[Orange Mysterious Artifact Brain·Transformer’s Wisdom Brain]

...

There is one point worth noting, perhaps due to the accumulation of numerous ordinary brains within the civilization itself over the years; a considerable quantity of oddity brains has been nurtured within the territory of the Truth Mechanical Civilization, although most are of red quality or lower, their value is not insignificant.

At least for a Torch Warship, a piece of Intermediate Brain Component can provide significant auxiliary effects.

Song Chi originally intended to retain these oddity brains to distribute them later to key tribe members; however, the reaction from the Dome Sky Brain System was much larger than he anticipated, and in the end, he had no choice but to integrate all the obtained oddity brains into the Dome Sky Brain System.

After devouring and integrating several brain components, the evolutionary trend of the Dome Sky Brain System became more pronounced; Song Chi estimated that by allowing it to assimilate a few more red-level oddity brains, it should be able to evolve to Golden Sanctuary Quality.

Although the yield was satisfactory, thereafter, the main body of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong could only wait for two years.

During this period, Song Chi was not idly waiting; once the "Starlight Flash Spirit Escape" feature completed its buffer time after two years, the Mirror Image Warship, canceled in advance by him, was summoned, which allowed him to activate the "Starlight Flash Spirit Escape" twice consecutively, counting the Mirror Image Warship.
