In the end, neither contestant could figure out the solution. They purely utilized their own energy to separate impurities within two bottles of metallic liquid. By the time it concluded, both were so exhausted that they couldn't stand.
With their energy depleted, neither managed to completely purify the impurities in the two bottles. The winner was determined by the amount each contestant successfully separated. Meanwhile, on the strength comparison side, the champion had long been decided. Each Grand Competition was slower on the scientific competition front.
With the competition over, Yun Ru no longer cared about the remaining matters. She presented her request to Fengbaoemperor to head to that mysterious planet and fulfill the mission to obtain the Celestial Path device.
This time, Fengbaoemperor didn't give any other reasons for Yun Ru to stay; instead, he instructed Fengpiter to lead them to that mysterious planet.
On the Warship, Yun Ru asked directly, "About that planet, is there any intel you can share now?"
Yun Ru knew that Fengpiter hadn't revealed all the information about that planet.
"What I told you before is true, but there are some additional details," Fengpiter said with a hint of strangeness in his eyes. He continued, "As mentioned earlier, the planet is shrouded in a mysterious power. Outsiders entering it lose all individual power, and only pure technology can be used inside. Initially, we sent in several Small Galaxy-level Powerhouses, but can you imagine? They fell from the sky and died."
Yun Ru's expression was odd. Small Galaxy-level Powerhouses died from falling? Not to mention energy, just the physical strength of Small Galaxy-level Powerhouses would likely result in severe injury rather than death if hit by a small meteorite. Falling from the sky on the planet? How was that possible?
"The fact is that, not only did individual energy vanish, but it seems their physical strength disappeared too. Everyone inside becomes an ordinary person. No, to be precise, slightly stronger than an ordinary person."
Yun Ru pondered; if that were the case, her safety in that world couldn't be guaranteed.In a technological world, a single bullet could kill her. Faced with anyone wielding weapons, she couldn't ensure her safety, making this mission very dangerous.
"Is there anything else?"
"In addition, we dispatched some small spaceships with people, carrying technological products that can be used on that planet, but..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ru knew there must have been issues.
"But after they entered, we lost contact. We can observe them, but they seem unable to detect us. It's as if the two worlds are separated."
"What about the mysterious power on the planet's surface? Have you researched it?"
"We have, but there have been no discoveries so far. Those powers don't align with any we recognize; they can't be explained by current science," Fengpiter explained.
Yun Ru asked more questions, and Fengpiter disclosed everything. This cooperation marked the first time the two empires were working together, and he didn't dare to conceal anything.
As they headed to the mysterious planet, a small warship gradually passed through a natural wormhole, venturing into an unknown starry expanse.
Some time later, the small warship emerged at the other end of the wormhole. Upon arrival, they received signals from robots.
"Immediately investigate the surroundings, establish a base, and launch spy satellites."
They arrived at a nearby uninhabited planet, swiftly deploying the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) to construct a base and launch spy satellites.
Immediately, they opened the map to assess their surroundings.
To their surprise, they discovered a multitude of yellow dots on a planet less than a light-year away. They zoomed in and identified the entities as a group of beastmen!
Through observation, they deduced that these beastmen had developed a civilization with some basic technological weapons. However, they hadn't ventured beyond their planet, relieving the group, as long as they weren't a formidable cosmic race.
The term "beastmen" was unfamiliar to them, even absent from the information obtained from the Rota Empire.
In essence, they might be the first humans to discover the existence of a beastman civilization.
Now, the question arose: how to deal with these beastmen?
Should they eliminate them, subjugate them, or simply pretend not to have seen them?
The soldiers exchanged glances, realizing they couldn't make this decision and needed to report it.
Since the wormhole was bidirectional, they dispatched someone back to relay the information.
Soon, the news reached Yun Ru. Upon learning that there was a beastman civilization on the other side and more nearby, she recognized it as an opportunity.
An opportunity to expand, allowing the soldiers of the Red Alert Empire to engage in combat!
"Commander, our soldiers discovered a wormhole within Fengbao Empire territory. On the other side, they found a beastman civilization, seemingly never before discovered. There's a high probability of abundant resources inside."
In the Milky Way system, Su Chen, hearing Yun Ru's voice, was somewhat surprised. He had stationed some soldiers in the Fengbao Empire but hadn't expected them to find a wormhole, let alone a beastman civilization on the other side. It was intriguing.
"First, see if there's any connection between beastmen and humans. If there is, try to subjugate them; if not, handle it as usual," Su Chen ordered.
"Yes, Commander."
If beastmen were a branch species of humans, arising from evolutionary deviations, Su Chen would provide them with some hope. Otherwise, in the eyes of non-human races, Su Chen would be a tyrant!
The orders passed through layers, quickly reaching a Red Alert soldier in charge.
"This is the Commander's order: capture some beastmen for research. If they are related to humans, subjugate them without killing; if not, handle it as usual."
"Understood."
A regular Laser UFO, upgraded to travel through space, flew toward the planet. Equipped with laser beams capable of dealing with Small Galaxy-level Powerhouses, the Laser UFO landed on a grassy plain on the planet where many beastmen joyfully played.
The appearance of the Laser UFO startled the beastmen. The technological level of this planet was equivalent to Earth in the 18th century, and they had never seen such an advanced object.
Hovering in the air, the Laser UFO selected some individuals, emitted a beam of light, and instantly absorbed the chosen beastmen inside.
The next moment, the Laser UFO transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the planet, leaving behind legends of UFOs among the beastmen.
"The beastmen are captured; commence research!"
