Chapter 1461 Start taking action

Chapter 1462: Action Begins

Van der Sar ran over, picked up a small fragment with copper tweezers, examined it under a microscope, and his face immediately changed. He shouted, "This is an antimagnetic contaminant! It's been mixed into the mine!"

When Qin Hao learned the news, Ailiya had already finished testing the stockpile of blue crystal fragments. She said, "50 kilograms were contaminated. If it were used in the three-core linkage, the module would short-circuit."

Pointing to the lines on the detector, she added, "The contaminant absorbs the energy of the blue crystal, causing the module's defense value to drop by 30% instantly."

“It must have been those people!” Marcus gripped his bronze spear tightly. “I’ll take ten men to check out the side cave; we found footprints there before!”

There were black marks left by antimagnetism on the rock walls of the side cave. Marcus told his team members to walk forward with the blue crystal detector, while he followed behind with a spear.

After walking about 50 meters, the detector suddenly beeped, pointing towards a recessed rock wall.

"Here it is!" Just as the team member reached out to touch it, four people suddenly rushed out from behind the rock wall, holding small anti-magnetic bombs.
"Trying to blow up the screening machine?" Marcus threw his copper spear, piercing one person's anti-magnetic suit. Another person tried to throw a bomb, but the team quickly fired blue crystal tranquilizer darts, hitting him in the arm. The bomb fell straight to the ground.

In the chaos, one guy took the opportunity to detonate a small bomb.

"One got away!" the team member shouted. The guy had disappeared down a side path in the tunnel.

When Qin Hao arrived, Marcus was having people clear away the rubble, saying, "Two screening machines are broken, and manual screening is only 60% as efficient as before."

“The new screening machine from Pang Wanshan will take four days to arrive,” Qin Hao said, frowning.

"Karu has your miners manually sift through copper sieves to ensure the energy supply for the three cores working together. Don't update other modules yet."

Karu nodded, turned around and shouted to the miners, "Take your copper sieves and mix the copper ore powder together in a 1:2 ratio to absorb the pollutants!" The miners immediately got to work, and the sound of the copper sieves swaying echoed through the ore belt.

Just then, Aria finally deciphered the secret of the light patterns on the surface of the Mother Nest: they were the coordinates of three interstellar mineral belts. "The A-7 mineral belt is unclaimed, the B-12 mineral belt signal indicates crystal plunderers are active, and the C-9 mineral belt signal is unclear, possibly blocked by energy."

She pointed to the coordinates of B-12, saying, "The Crystal Guardians said that the Blue Crystal Civilization would build energy transfer stations in its mineral belts, and B-12 is very likely the source of energy for the Crystal Raiders' main cannons."

Qin Hao stared at the coordinates and said, "We need to go take a look and figure out the structure of the base station and where the energy interface is. Kam, Aji, you two go with Ali. Kam will use the nameplate to test the defense, Aji will bring copper ore powder to find weak points, and Ali will be responsible for fighting and providing cover."

The three small antimagnetic ships set off that afternoon, heading towards Mine B-12. Just before they arrived, Kam's copper nameplate suddenly became hot.

"There's an antimagnetic shield in front, covering the entire base station!"

Aji leaned against the ship's window and scattered a handful of exceptionally pure copper ore powder outside. The powder drifted in space for a while before suddenly moving towards the left side of the base station. Aji shouted, "That's where the shield is weak! There's a copper interface there!"

Ali immediately changed the ship's direction, luring the antimagnetic vessel closer to the weak point. The team members raised their guns, which could emit high-frequency pulses, and pulled the triggers at the interface. A pale blue light shattered the shield, creating a small hole. "Kam, quickly record what it looks like!"

Kam held a camera and took pictures of the base station—in the center of the round base station stood an energy converter made of blue crystal, surrounded by antimagnetic coils. "The key part of the converter is the copper contacts! Only a drill bit made of copper-cobalt alloy can break it!"

He had just finished taking the last photo when the base station alarm went off.

"Run!" Ali shouted as he started the engine. Just as the antimagnetic ship turned around, two warships called Crystal Hunters came after it. "The port side has been hit!" a crew member shouted. A hole had been punched in the hull of the antimagnetic ship, and oxygen was leaking out.

Ali gritted his teeth and ordered his team to throw blue crystal mines towards the enemy ships. With a "boom," the engine of one enemy ship was blown up, and another ship immediately turned around and fled. "Our anti-magnetic ship is about to fail!" Kam looked at the screen which showed "10% energy remaining." "We have to abandon the ship!"

Fortunately, another antimagnetic ship arrived in time and picked everyone up. When they returned to their home planet, Kam was holding his camera, his face pale: "I took pictures of the base station. We just lost an antimagnetic ship and two team members suffered minor injuries."

Aria looked down at the photo and said, "There's a copper contact on top of the converter, about 5 centimeters wide. You can break it by drilling it with a copper-cobalt alloy drill bit for 10 minutes."

After saying that, she looked up at Qin Hao and added, "As long as the converter is damaged, the Crystal Raider's main cannon will run out of power."

Just as Qin Hao was about to speak, Van der Sar ran over and shouted, "The module modification is complete! I added a copper energy-conducting plate to the surface, which contains 40% copper ore powder, increasing the anti-interference capability by 20%!"

He also pointed to the module next to him, where the copper energy-conducting plate gleamed with a pale green light under the lamp.

At this moment, the elder of the Karuba tribe arrived with a group of elders, holding a new copper energy-conducting ring. He said, "We added a 'prayer array' at the entrance of the mining area and buried the energy-conducting ring underground. When chanted, it can form an energy barrier, increasing the defense value by 15%!"

Qin Hao nodded, and was about to arrange what to do next when Karu and Marcus came over.

Karu spoke first, saying, "Mr. Qin, our tribe manually screened the modules, which delayed the construction of the energy station. After the war, we will receive five more modules."

Marcus continued, "Many of our armed men have died in battle, and we need 10 kilograms of blue crystal fragments to make new spears."

“Okay,” Qin Hao readily agreed. “As long as we can defend our home planet, the Congolese tribe will give us 5 more modules, and the Zulu tribe will give us 10 kilograms of blue crystals.”

As soon as the two left, Aria's detector beeped again, and the screen displayed "Crystal Raider Vanguard Signal," indicating that they were flying towards the home planet. There were still 6 days until the official start of the war.

On the morning of the fifth day of the countdown, the copper fence at the entrance to the mining area was suddenly struck by a pale black beam of light and snapped in two with a loud crash. Aria's detector immediately sounded an alarm: "It's an anti-blue crystal pulse cannon! Defense value drops from 100% to 60%!"

As Qin Hao ran towards the entrance, he saw black smoke coming out of module number 3 and the screen went completely black.

"Activate the temporary linkage of the three cores!" Aria's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and the mother nest suddenly released a light blue energy wave, which surged towards the entrance like a tide.

Ten warships of the Crystal Raiders' advance team were hit by the energy wave. The ships swayed but did not retreat. Another pulse cannon shot over and hit the rock wall at the top of the mining area. Rocks fell down and hit two newly modified modules.

"The pulse cannon can absorb blue crystal energy! Ordinary modules can't withstand it!" Van der Sar shouted, using a copper shield to block the flying debris.

Cam ran around the entrance holding a bronze plaque that kept flashing red light, shouting, "They've planted landmines around here! At least eight!"

Aji immediately took out copper ore powder and sprinkled it on the ground. The powder gathered into eight small piles, which matched the location of the landmines.

"I'll defuse it!" Aji crouched down and carefully dug into the ground with a copper shovel. He defused the first five mines smoothly, but when he dug up the sixth one, the shovel hit the mine's anti-magnetic contact point. With a "click," the mine's countdown began to tick: 10, 9, 8.
"Run!" Aji jumped back as fast as he could, and the landmine exploded with a "boom," creating a large crater in the ground.

He got up, dusted himself off, and was about to continue dismantling the remaining two when he discovered that the shovel head was chipped. "The shovel head is broken! We'll have to use a copper-cobalt alloy drill bit!"

Van der Sar immediately ran to the tool shed to find a drill bit, and returned looking extremely grim.

"There's only one drill bit left. We used one when we were modifying the module, and this one broke!"

He lifted the drill bit, but the cutting edge was missing a piece, making it impossible to dig out the landmine under the rock!
Qin Hao quickly contacted Pang Wanshan: "Do you have any spare copper-cobalt alloy drill bits? Send them over immediately."

Pang Wanshan said, "Yes, two new drill bits are on the logistics ship, and it will probably take three days to arrive."

Then, however, he said with concern, "The advance team of the Crystal Raiders might come again. Can we hold out until then?"

"We have to hold on, whether we can or not."

The two then hung up the walkie-talkie.

Qin Hao turned to Aji and asked, "Could you modify the old drill bit using copper forging tools from Congolese tribes and 60% high-purity copper ore powder?"

After examining the drill bit, Aji said, "We can give it a try, but the hardness might only be 80% of the original, which is barely usable."

After saying that, he grabbed the drill bit and ran to the tool storehouse, and soon the clanging sound of copper forging tools echoed in the mining area.

However, less than half an hour later, shouts came from the tool library.

"The copper ore powder has been stolen!"

When Aji ran out, he was clutching an empty bag. "Half a bag of high-purity copper ore powder is gone. It must have been done by that Cole remnant who escaped earlier."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kam's nameplate lit up, indicating that the antimagnetic signal was in the direction of the mother hive.

The two quickly ran towards the mother nest, and from a distance they saw a dark figure pouring copper ore powder into the mother nest.

Kam shouted, "Stop!"

He immediately rushed over.

The dark figure quickly turned around, the anti-magnetic dagger in its hand aimed straight at Cam's chest.

Cam dodged to the side, but the dagger still sliced ​​through his anti-magnetic suit, causing his arm to instantly swell and turn red. The detector showed a radiation level of 0.5 Sv/h.

But instead of retreating, he grabbed a short copper stick from the ground and smashed it against the shadowy figure's wrist. The shadowy figure cried out in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Kam seized the opportunity to grab his shoulder, and the arriving team members fired blue crystal tranquilizer darts, instantly causing the dark figure to fall to the ground.

However, the surface of the mother nest was already covered with a lot of copper ore powder, the diamagnetic concentration rose to 45%, and the light pattern began to flicker irregularly again.

At this moment, the elders of the Karuba tribe arrived with their fellow elders and sat down around the mother nest.

The crowd began chanting a deep and steady prayer again, their voices louder than before.

Half an hour later, the copper energy-conducting ring became brighter and brighter, and the energy fluctuation of the mother nest dropped to 12%, while the diamagnetic concentration dropped to 32%.

When Aji returned with the modified drill bit in his hands, his eyes were red. He said, "There's only this much copper ore powder left. The drill bit's hardness is only 80%."

He raised the drill bit, its cutting edge gleaming with a pale green light. "It should be able to break through the rock, but we'll have to go slowly."

As the sun set, the last two landmines were finally defused.

Aria's detector suddenly beeped, and two red lines appeared on the screen.

"Not good! The Crystal Raiders are attacking from two directions. The main force of 15 warships is coming from the interstellar corridor, and the auxiliary force of 8 ships is starting from the B-12 mineral belt. Their target is the Mother Nest and the dual cores."

Qin Hao stared at the screen, picked up the walkie-talkie, and began making arrangements.

"Attention everyone! Ali is taking 20 team members and 5 anti-magnetic ships to the B-12 mining area to destroy the energy converters with copper-cobalt alloy drills. Pang Wanshan's logistics ships will be responsible for resupplying the main route. 10 Earth warships will guard the interstellar passage. Karu will lead 30 miners to guard the Mother Nest entrance. Marcus will lead 20 team members to patrol and prevent any remaining attacks. Everyone, move out quickly!"

Everyone immediately took action after hearing this.

Karoo's miners erected a copper fence at the entrance to the Mother Nest, Marcus's team inspected the blue crystal mines, and Ali's antimagnetic ship slowly sailed out of the atmosphere.

On the home planet, Aria was adjusting the three-core linkage device, and finally the screen lit up with a prompt indicating a resonance frequency of 78Hz and a matching degree of 98%.

Five minutes later, the Martian sample finally arrived. Aria mixed the nest debris with the sample and finally completed the calibration.
