Zhuang Xiaolin asked someone to replace the two sets of armor next to the ice with new batteries, and took out a few portions of nutrient solution contained in the test tube and handed it to Qi Ying. She picked up a tube and inserted it into the interface at the neck of the armor. The nutrient solution immediately flowed into her mouth through the esophageal tube.

A tube of fifty milliliters of nutrient solution can provide three days of physical energy consumption, usually divided into eight to ten times of drinking. Qi Ying was obviously hungry for a long time and drank a whole tube of nutrient solution directly.

"Huh...thank you!"

Qi Ying breathed a sigh of satisfaction and said embarrassedly: "Our supplies were used up two months ago. I also rely on my mind to make ice to fill my hunger until now. It feels really bad to be hungry."

Xin Ji couldn't help but smack her tongue when she heard it. No wonder he always felt that Qi Ying seemed very weak. It turned out that she had not eaten or drunk for two months.

The bodies of generals and warlocks began to evolve in the direction of inhumanity. They could survive for a long time by relying on force and mind power, and the oxygen demand was also low. However, they could not completely get rid of food and water. They had to take a small amount of nutrients regularly, otherwise they would starve to death. However, this was already very powerful, and the warlock could not do this, so Qi Ying could only freeze her two crew members.

Zhuang Xiaolin nodded, "You unblock the crew."

Qi Ying stepped forward, stretched out his finger and gently tapped the ice. With a clamor, the huge ice instantly disintegrated into debris, and a man and a woman inside fell out and gradually woke up.

The atmosphere of this planet has extremely low oxygen content. The two crew members fell into a state of suffocation as soon as they woke up. They coughed violently and grabbed the limbs in the air. When they opened their eyes, they saw the mercenaries around them. They didn't care about being happy and hurriedly grabbed the armored helmets beside them and put them on. The armor was sufficient and they had already started to supply oxygen. They took a few breaths and their faces calmed down.

"Captain." The female crew member shouted happily: "We are saved!"

The male crew members were also full of joy, and their expressions looked at the mercenaries as if they had seen their relatives.

Qi Ying nodded with a smile, "You put on the armor first, and wait until you have something to say."

Both of them were high-level warriors. The frozen for several months did not affect their physical functions. They were quick-witted and helped each other. They put on their armor in just a few minutes, then drank the nutrient solution and quickly recovered their physical fitness and stood behind Qi Ying.

"We can talk about it now. What is the situation here?"

Zhuang Xiaolin asked with a serious look: "Where are the super civilization ruins you mentioned? And what are the laser rays? Is there any way we can return to space?"

Everyone's eyes were staring at Qi Ying, which made her feel a lot of pressure.

Qi Ying sighed and said, "Xiaolin, you asked so many questions at once, and I don't know where to answer you. We are old friends for many years. We have worked together several times before, and we have a good relationship. It's not a forced force, and I won't ask you for help, so that you can travel thousands of miles to the Hunter to take the big nebula."

"Okay." Zhuang Xiaolin was silent for a few seconds, his face calmed down a little, and he said, "Then let's say one by one, we have enough supplies and a lot of time."

However, Qi Ying shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No, we don't have much time, and it's very urgent."

This sentence immediately made the mercenaries nervous. Zhuang Xiaolin quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Qi Ying said: "This strange star system will explode with a large-scale energy transfer every once in a while. The six stars regularly transmit energy to the planets in the center of mass. The violent radiation fills the space in the entire galaxy. Except for the range within 300 meters of the planet's surface, no place is safe."

"So your adventure ship..." Zhuang Xiaolin reacted.

"Yes, my expedition ship was destroyed like this." Qi Ying's eyes flashed with pain and said in a deep voice: "You don't know how terrible it was at that time. My expedition ship was parked in low-altitude orbit. Although it was not as heavy as your warship, it weighed 180,000 tons. As a result, it was vaporized in less than ten seconds, and there was no residue left."

The mercenaries all changed their faces. In a few seconds, how much energy does it take to gasify the 180,000 tons of spacecraft?

The cruiser of the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group weighs 400,000 tons, but it is not much different from 180,000 tons, and it cannot withstand such terrible energy radiation.

"Captain Qi, how long is the period of the stellar energy explosion? When is the next time?" Raven Drag asked anxiously.

Qi Ying looked at the time and replied: "I have been on the planet after the expedition ship has been gasified. During this period, I experienced another energy explosion. The explosion period is 1277 hours, almost fifty-three days, and there are still 405 hours before the next explosion, which is less than seventeen days."

Everyone was panicked. If they could not return to the warship within seventeen days and escape from the galaxy, the stellar energy burst out and the warship would be destroyed in an instant and they would never leave.

Zhuang Xiaolin suddenly discovered a suspicious point and calculated the time point of the stellar explosion in his heart. He received a message for help after Qi Ying's expedition ship was destroyed. At that time, Qi Ying was already on the planet and could not send a signal at all, nor could he communicate with the outside world through the expedition ship's quantum repeater. How did this be done?

He asked in person.

Qi Ying smiled slightly and explained: "I wrote the rescue information before logging in and stored it in the federal mailbox. Then the light brain of the expedition ship automatically issued instructions to the mailbox every hour, delaying the sending of information for one hour. The expedition ship was destroyed. After an hour, no delay instructions were received, and the information was sent out in time."

Zhuang Xiaolin's face suddenly became clear.

Xin Ji also secretly praised Qi Ying's method was simple but quite clever. Obviously, she didn't want to tell Zhuang Xiaolin about the ruins of super civilization, but she was afraid that something would happen and no one would rescue her, so she came up with such a way out.

No wonder her rescue information is vague, only the coordinates of the star map and the warped route, and she does not mention the situation of this planet, because she does not know what will happen on the planet when she compiles the information.

However, with her wit, in order to ensure that someone comes to rescue, she obviously would not send only the rescue message to Zhuang Xiaolin alone, and there must be others who have received it.

Sure enough, Zhuang Xiaolin also thought of it and asked, "Did you send a rescue message to several people?"

Qi Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Three people, but you are the only ones who have arrived at the moment. I don't know whether the other two will come."

Zhuang Xiaolin felt a little unhappy and snorted.

Even though he was in a desperate situation at this moment, he still did not give up his attempts to relics of super civilization, and did not want others to get news to compete.

"You haven't told you what's going on with this planet, and where are the ruins of super civilization?" Zhuang Xiaolin asked.

"To be honest, I can't be sure yet." Qi Ying shook her head helplessly and explained: "I was initially exploring the interstellar space near Moyun Star. When I accidentally received a gravitational wave message. After cracking it, I found that it pointed to the Orion Nebula. The information included a route into the depths of the nebula, so I ventured in and discovered this place."

"At that time, I suspected that this was a ruin of super civilization, but I could not find any signs of life on the planets, nor did I have any traces of artificial buildings. I searched for more than half a month without results. I only knew that the speed could not exceed Mach 7, so I logged to the ground to search."

"After landing, we realized that we could not return, and we were trapped on the planet, and most of our crew members were sacrificed on the first day. After a few days, the stellar energy burst out."

Speaking of this, Qi Ying and the two surviving crew members couldn't help but feel very sad. The expedition ship was gasified, so the people on the ship naturally could not survive. Instead, the people who landed on the ground were lucky to escape.

"But when the star energy burst, I also discovered a place where the suspected ruins exist, that is, the North Pole."

Qi Ying continued: "The energy of the six stars in the sky will gather over the North Pole and then be transported to the inside of the planet, so I suspect that the super civilization should be hidden underground in the North Pole. Unfortunately, our landing point is south of the equator, more than 5,000 kilometers away from the North Pole. We can only use stones to warn you on the plains, and then continue to walk north, but there is a lack of materials and energy, and we will reduce our staff all the way. When we reach this canyon, we have to stop."

After hearing this, everyone sighed speechlessly.

Since Qi Ying was able to write with stones on the plain, but did not directly write out the longitude and latitude coordinates of the North Pole, he just didn't want people to land directly at the North Pole, but led people down to save them.

Everyone is being cheated!

Although there are indeed ruins suspected to be super civilization, this planet is really too dangerous. If I had known this was the case, no matter how much money I had given, I would not be willing to come and die.

Zhuang Xiaolin's face was as deep as water and sneered: "Aren't you afraid that we will walk from other places and not pass through this canyon?"

"No." Qi Ying chuckled, as if he was a little proud, and said, "This canyon is the only way to the North Pole. Whether it is east or west, there are large areas of magma rivers blocking the road, and only this canyon is relatively safe. I don't need to say much about the dangers of magma rivers. I believe you have fought with the Sun Crystal Nucleus."

"What is the sun crystal core?" someone asked strangely.

"Don't you know yet?" Qi Ying was stunned for a moment, and took out a transparent test tube from the armor, which contained a drop of red liquid. It was only as big as a rice grain. It rolled drippingly inside the test tube, like a crystal.

She showed the test tube in front of everyone and said, "This is the solar crystal nucleus. It looks like a liquid, but it is actually an extremely special superfluid. I have tried dozens of methods to destroy it. Its toughness is a hundred times higher than that of carbon nanotubes! It is the core of those giants. It can absorb all forms of heat energy and release it at one time when it is shaken by stress. It forms a body based on physical matter and attacks surrounding creatures frantically until the energy is exhausted."

Zhuang Xiaolin looked carefully at the red liquid inside the test tube and asked in confusion: "I have looked for it many times after killing the giant, but I didn't find this thing."

"The sun crystal nucleus in each giant's body is very small, similar to the needle tip, and it is difficult to find it. And it will immediately penetrate the ground after the energy is exhausted. If I hadn't frozen it by chance, I wouldn't have found it."

Qi Ying sighed: "Don't look at it as small as rice grains, it is actually formed by the fusion of the cores of more than a thousand rock giants. If you throw it into the magma river and let it absorb heat, the lava giants you shape can be more than one hundred meters high!"

Everyone took a breath of air, and the lava giant ten meters high scared everyone to flee. How terrifying would the lava giant a hundred meters high be?

"Why do you call it the Sun Crystal Nucleus?" A mercenary was very curious and didn't understand how this thing was related to the Sun.

Qi Ying held the test tube firmly in her hand and smiled and said, "You can stare at it, concentrate, don't blink, and you will understand after more than five seconds."

The mercenaries did as they said.

Five seconds later, stellar illusions appeared in everyone's minds, and they immediately took a few steps back, their eyes full of horror.

"I see."

Zhuang Xiaolin looked at the liquid in the test tube and asked thoughtfully, "What's the use of this thing?" He found that Qi Ying seemed to attach great importance to the sun crystal nucleus, like a rare treasure.

Qi Ying glanced at Zhuang Xiaolin, pursed her lips, and decided to tell the truth, saying: "The sun crystal nucleus can be used as an energy converter. It can absorb all forms of heat and convert it into vacuum energy with thermal energy properties, which is directly absorbed by the thermal warrior for cultivation."

As soon as this statement was said, it was like a rock that broke the sky. The mercenaries stared at the sun crystal core in Qi Ying's hand, and their eyes were full of heat.

Qi Ying continued, as if she didn't realize it, "And the solar crystal nucleus can be reused. After the energy contained is consumed, it can be reused after replenishing the heat. It is quite an inexhaustible vacuum crystal. The solar crystal nucleus in my hand has a capacity of about four to six vacuum crystals. If it is taken to the federal auction, how much do you think it is worth?"

"Five hundred billion!" A mercenary couldn't help but shout out loud.

Qi Ying sneered and looked at the mercenary who shouted out 50 billion, with his eyes as if he was looking at an idiot.

The mercenary's face turned red when she saw it, but he also realized that the value of this sun crystal core was far above 50 billion. The average price of a vacuum crystal in the Federation is 300 million, and the sun crystal core can match the vacuum crystal worth 50 billion as long as it is charged about 30 times.

This is simply a priceless treasure. If it is really put in a federal auction, the transaction price is likely to exceed one trillion yuan!

For a moment, many mercenaries were greedy. As long as they got a sun crystal core, they would not have to worry about their whole life, even if they had to spend endless money in ten lives.

Qi Ying snorted coldly, and a ray of thought swept across the cave with gloomy chill, causing the mercenaries to shudder and wake up. Then he remembered that standing in front of him was a second-level ice warrior. He wanted to touch the sun crystal core in her hand, which was no different from dying.

"If you want the sun crystal nucleus, just kill the giants and collect it yourself." Qi Ying said lightly, and took the test tube containing the sun crystal nucleus back into the armor.

The mercenaries felt lost and regretful.

Along the way, there were at least two thousand rock giants killed by everyone. There were more giants killed by the main guns of warships on the plains. If they were collected, they could get at least four or five sun crystal cores!
