"Red copper and red blood stone?" When Chu Jiang asked about these two metals, the old man lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:
"There are some red blood stones, about seventy or eighty kilograms. As for red copper, there should be some, but I don't pay attention to this low-grade metal. If you need it, I'll help you find it."
"There is a red blood stone? It's great!" Chu Jiang was overjoyed when the old man said this, but when he heard the old man's words, he was still speechless. It was so difficult for him to find the red copper, but with the old man, the red copper could not even get into his eyes.
"Old man, since you completed the manufacturing of the spacecraft a year ago, why are you still here and not leaving until now?" At this time, Concubine Luo, Wenren beside him suddenly asked.
Hearing her question, the old man sighed and said helplessly:
"I also want to leave early and go back to see my family. However, even if I have a spaceship, it is very difficult to leave here. Since this place has not been discovered for a long time and no one can come in, it is not so easy to get out."
"Is it because of the meteorite-intensive area outside?" Chu Jiang frowned slightly and guessed.
"Yes, it's those dense meteorites." The old man nodded, "If the spacecraft wants to leave here, they either fly out directly or jump in space. However, because those meteorites are definitely not OK to fly out. To jump in space, there must be an acceleration process first. Such a small space around is not enough to complete acceleration. Therefore, if you want to leave, it is useless to have a spacecraft."
"Then you can clean up the meteorite first." Chu Jiang pondered for a moment and said.
"I think so too, but it's not easy to clean those meteorites. During this year, I created a radium-radiated bomb that can blow up some meteorites and clear out a passage. Although the meteorites will recover, it will take about one or two days. The spacecraft can rush out during this period. However, because the bomb is too heavy, no robot can carry the bombs to fly up. Therefore, I need to spend a few more years to create a machine that can carry the bombs so that I can try to leave here."
After the old man finished speaking, Chu Jiang and the other two were silent. A few years may not be anything to the old man who had been here for almost forty years, but for them who were only a teenage or twenty years old, a few years was too long, especially Chu Jiang, who still had a lot to do. If he couldn't get out and missed the genius battle in the Federal Academy, it was a small matter, and it was a big matter that could not save his parents.
"Old man, let me try it. I might be able to bring the bomb up." Chu Jiang suddenly spoke.
"No!" Wenren Luo Fei and Mu Xiaoyou spoke almost in unison. Chu Jiang looked at Mu Xiaoyou, and the latter quickly lowered his head and refused to look at him.
"You can't go, that's too dangerous." Wenren Luo Fei held Chu Jiang's hand and said very firmly.
"I have to go because, I have to leave here as soon as possible. Believe me, I won't have anything to do." Chu Jiang whispered to the two girls. He knew that they were all very concerned and caring about him, but in order to leave here early, he had to do it.
The old man looked at Chu Jiang in surprise and asked with obvious doubt:
"Are you sure you can bring the bomb up? Not to mention that the bomb itself weighs thousands of pounds. How can you reach the meteorite area outside by yourself?"
"No matter whether it is possible or not, I am willing to give it a try. Please give me a chance." Chu Jiang looked at the old man and said very seriously.
The old man was silent and asked Chu Jiang to bring the bomb up. Not to mention whether he could do it. Even if he did it, he still felt something was wrong with letting a person do such a dangerous thing. If possible, he would rather let the robot do it.
"Okay, let you try it, but no matter what method you use, I hope you can pay attention to your safety." The old man finally nodded and agreed. A smile appeared on Chu Jiang's face, while Wenren Luo Fei and Mu Xiaoyou were full of worries.
After a brief rest, Chu Jiang left alone with the box filled with bombs. He came to a quiet place, entered the beastization, spread his wings and soared into the air. With his current strength and weight of thousands of pounds, he would not affect his flight at all.
After he left, the old man began to prepare to start the spaceship. He could set off directly when he came back from blowing up the meteorite.
During the waiting full of worry and anxiety, almost two hours passed, and before he could see Chu Jiang's return, Wenren Luo Fei and Mu Xiaoyou couldn't sit still. They walked out of the spacecraft several times and walked out of the basin to look out, hoping to see the familiar figure, but they never saw Chu Jiang appear.
The old man was also a little worried and sent a few metal puppets to check it out, but the metal puppets could not fly to the sky, so where could Chu Jiang be found? Just two hours later, a shocking roar came from the distant space. Even though they were so far apart, the Wenren Luo Fei and others felt a pain in their eardrums, which showed the terrifying degree of the explosion.
When the explosion sounded, both Wenren Luo Fei and Mu Xiaoyou's faces turned pale in an instant. Since the bomb exploded, why didn't Chu Jiang come back? Logically speaking, Chu Jiang should set the bomb's explosion time and then return quickly. The bomb will explode after he comes back. But now, the bomb has exploded, but Chu Jiang has disappeared for a long time.
At this time, Chu Jiang was still thousands of meters above the ground. He was swept away by the terrifying explosion energy and was seriously injured. At that time, the bomb had already been placed and the explosion time was set, but when he was rushing back, the bomb had not moved. It seemed that the setting time had exceeded and the bomb had not exploded, so he had to return again. On the way back, the bomb exploded. Fortunately, for the sake of safety, his return speed was not fast. Otherwise, if he returned to the next to the bomb and exploded, he would definitely be crushed to pieces.
Chu Jiang, who was injured all over, finally returned to the basin. Wenren Luo Fei and Mu Xiaoyou rushed up. At this moment, although Mu Xiaoyou still said nothing, he still gave Chu Jiang a strong hug and took the two girls onto the spaceship. The old man looked at Chu Jiang in surprise, feeling a little incredible that he could enter space with such a heavy bomb.
After taking a last look at this place, the old man directly started the spacecraft. The spacecraft slowly took off, then turned into a stream of light and rushed towards space at a rapid speed. After dozens of minutes, the acceleration was completed, and the spacecraft disappeared into the void and disappeared in this area.

"How is it? Still no news from them?" Baize Academy, many senior officials gathered together, and the head of the Song family and others also appeared here. The dean asked the people around him.
"No, now even the people from the Mercenary Guild are starting to search, and there is no news from them. With the power in our hands, we can't find it at all." The people from the Song family sighed.
"The genius war in the Federal Academy is about to begin. The competition-specific consciousness sensors have been released. I just wait for the virtual competition space to be opened. If he can't be found before the virtual space is opened, then..." The dean of Bai Ze Academy closed his eyes helplessly. He originally thought that his academy would finally have the opportunity to compete with the real core academy of the Federation, but now, the hope of the academy has actually happened such a thing, which made him feel very regretful and powerless.
Song Bochen, the head of the Song family, slowly shook his head and turned away from the conference room. This incident was a huge loss for the Song family. However, since it involved the Kong family and Jiang family of the four major families, what could the Song family do? If it gets a big deal, it will offend these two families. It will be bad for anyone at that time, so I can only endure it.
At this time, in Tianhai Autonomous Prefecture, Baize Province, a public airship parked at the entrance of the No. 79 branch campus of Baize College. Chu Jiang and Mu Xiaoyou walked down from above.
Mu Xiaoyou was not ready to go back to the academy, but turned around and left. Chu Jiang stood behind her, speaking in a low voice:
"Xiao You, no matter whether you believe it or not, I just want to tell you that I am sincere to you. I have no choice but to deceive you before, I am sorry."
Mu Xiaoyou's forward steps paused for a moment, and finally, he left resolutely. Chu Jiang stared at her walking away in a daze, wondering if this parting would never be seen again.

When I returned to my dormitory, I didn’t see many students along the way. I guess most of them have started preparing for the competition. Generally speaking, as long as I am a student from the Federal Academy, I will participate in this competition. Even if I just play soy sauce, I can go and watch the fun. Very few people like Mu Xiaoyou who are purely not involved.
Someone has sent the consciousness sensor in the virtual space to his dormitory. Without this consciousness sensor, you cannot participate in the competition. Turn on the sensor and enter the virtual space. Fortunately, the competition has not started yet and the virtual space has not been closed. After the competition is started, the virtual space will be closed. Even if there is a consciousness sensor, it will not be able to enter.
The news that Song Linfan disappeared due to a spacecraft failure has spread like wildfire, making it known to everyone. Now, no one knows that he has returned to Baize Academy and entered the virtual space.
ps: The first update, I am sorry for yesterday's interruption, so I won't ask for a collection
