Galaxy of Giant Ships: Starting with Data-Driven Warships

With the Miracle Card Pool in hand, you only need to develop quietly and steadily, waiting for time to settle, and your future achievements will definitely not be bad.

It is precisely because he is well aware of this and has always followed this style of doing things that Chen Yao is now in a dilemma.

However, this situation did not last long. Chen Yao's gaze quickly settled, and he had already made a decision.

"Sky Survey, how's the deciphering of the Taina script going?"

[The Taina script is currently 96% deciphered; it is estimated that it will take another 18 minutes to fully decipher...]

That's right, Chen Yao has decided to continue following up on this series of missions.

Since the chain of quests was refreshed under the blessing of the "Lucky Aura", it may be difficult, but it should not be too dangerous. Besides, the first chain of quests has already been completed, and it would be a pity to end it now.

Twenty minutes later, the three rock guardian terracotta warriors, whose mission was still ongoing, jumped off the warship once more. When they returned, there were two more Taina prisoners.

These two Taina people had wrinkled skin all over their bodies, indicating that they were very old. In addition, they held a high position in the Manjiao tribe and were highly respected scholars with a deep understanding and research on the history of the entire Taina tribe.

"Let the sky patrol begin!"

【Yes, Captain. Initiating the simulation of the Taina language.】

As the shipborne semi-intelligent system began to emit various strange sounds, the two Tanner scholars, who were initially extremely panicked and fearful, paused for a moment, and then answered almost every question posed by the Sky Survey's simulation.

Is there any record of the origins of your Tayna people?

"The Tainars are descendants of the Mother of Tainar, possessing the most intelligent minds. They fought their way up from the ancient Tainar era and eventually became the rulers of all Tainar."

What exactly does "Mother of Tainna" refer to?

"Our Taina tribe's only goddess, She has always protected us."

What was that dark red crystal from before? Where did it come from?

"The tears shed by Mother Taina, nurtured by the sacred Mount Taina."

Where is Mount Taina?

……

After a brief interrogation by the Sky Patrol, the Sky Patrol resumed its operation, heading towards the so-called "Mount Taina".

Mount Taina.

The name sounds grand and imposing, but when the Sky Surveyer pierced through the clouds and took in the full view of this "sacred mountain," Chen Yao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

There were no towering mountains, nor the ancient and sacred atmosphere one might have imagined.

At an altitude of less than 2000 meters, Chen Yao considered it to be just an ordinary mountain.

? ? ? ?

Chen Yao maneuvered the Sky Patrol to circle twice at low altitude, repeatedly looking through the porthole, but still couldn't see anything unusual.

Although his eyes were full of doubt, he still quickly gave Xun Tianxia an order.

"Scan the sky, conduct a deep scan of the entire mountain, and don't miss any corner."

【Roger that, Captain!】

[Deep scan in progress, estimated time 1 hour 38 minutes...]

Chen Yao leaned back in the captain's chair, his eyes fixed on the constantly updated detection data on the light screen.

Low-light radar waves penetrate the surface of the mountain and go deep into its interior, scanning and recording every piece of information about the mountain.

However, the result was disappointing.

Scan complete...

The scan results show that common granite, basalt, and other components account for over 90% of the mountain's structure.

No abnormal energy fluctuations, no unusual object fluctuations, no traces of artificial intervention detected...

[Final conclusion: This mountain is a common mountain range found on the planet and has no special value.]

"Ordinary mountain range?"

Chen Yao frowned; this was not a good outcome for him.

I originally thought that this "sacred mountain" in the mouths of the Taina people, the place where the tears of the Taina Mother were conceived, probably hid unknown secrets, but I did not expect that it was just an ordinary mountain.

"Re-detect."

[Received, second round of scanning initiated...]

Another hour or so passed.

But nothing changed.

Unwilling to give up, Chen Yao did not leave. He controlled the Sky Patrol to hover on the summit of Mount Taina, his eyes scanning downwards, trying to find a trace of anything unusual.

Even at the very end, the main gun and two secondary guns on the Sky Patrol opened fire, wanting to see if the "ordinary" mountain would change under the bombardment. However, he was clearly overthinking it.

Half an hour later, Chen Yao reluctantly uttered that word.

"withdraw!"

In the main control room of the Sky Surveyer, Chen Yao's expression was rather grim.

Is the second stage of this chain of missions about to get stuck like this?

He kept muttering to himself, but his hands never stopped moving.

For the next ten hours or so, Chen Yao turned Taina Star upside down.

The Sky Surveyer traversed every corner of the continent, from the icy plains of the north to the deserts of the south, from the hills of the east to the archipelago of the west, leaving no stone unturned in its search for any clue that might be related to the "Mystery of Taina".

He captured dozens of high-ranking members of the Taina tribe, interrogated them one by one, and also visited all the places on Taina known as "wonderlands"—the thousand-foot waterfall, the eternal volcano, the place where stars fell...

He even made a special trip to Barbarian Horn City to collect all the shattered dark red crystal fragments and repeatedly examined them with radar, but he only came to the same conclusion as before:

These fragments, having lost all their energy activity after shattering, are no different from ordinary stones.

Time flew by as the search continued.

In the blink of an eye, there were less than two hours left before the start of this alien exploration.

"That's enough!"

In the main control room of the Sky Patrol, high in the sky, Chen Yao sighed and finally decided to give up.

Of course, this doesn't mean abandoning the entire mission, but rather temporarily ceasing all involvement during this second exploration.

Having just acquired the [Starfield Travel Beacon] component, he will definitely leave the beacon behind before returning. During his third exploration of the alien starfield, he will return to this starfield, determined to uncover the secrets behind this planet, Taina.

……

The Sky Patrol quickly turned around and returned to the valley he had filled with mineral resources and spiritual plant seeds.

Although the truth cannot be found for the time being, these resources were painstakingly collected by him and must not be given up.

After calming himself down, Chen Yao retrieved the "Recycle Card" from the [Miracle Card Mother Pool].

With just over an hour left until the final return, it's time to retrieve them.

However, we can't just let all the Miracle Cards from the Mother Pool be recycled at once.

Before that, he still had to keep the most valuable items from all of them.

Take, for example, that 12kg of vibranium ore. If this third-tier ore were bought back at half price, we would lose a fortune.
