Chapter 1828: Chapter 1625: Waiting
With the teleportation completed, Su Yu appeared at the target location, and in front of him was the Nebula-level being.
Upon seeing Su Yu appear, the Nebula-level individual immediately displayed a wary expression.
This was a male Nebula-level from the Singer Human Race, with reddish-brown skin, pointed, upright ears, and deep green eyes.
Before he could speak, the hymn rushed to say, "I am the hymn. I am here to find Your Excellency Tajuke Yaoyang. I hope you can help me make contact."
As she spoke, the image of the Holy Silver female materialized in the room, looking solemnly at the Nebula-level in front of her.
Seeing it was the hymn, a flicker of surprise appeared on the Nebula-level’s face: "It’s you? Wasn’t your core component destroyed? How did you recover so quickly?"
"That’s not something you need to know, but once I meet Your Excellency Tajuke Yaoyang, I will naturally inform him," the hymn replied coolly.
"Alright, I’ll help you make contact."
This Nebula-level did not ask much else.
He slowly stood up from his seat, and with a wave of his single hand, an orange glowing ball of light appeared in his left hand.
He gently pinched the orange light ball and input a string of text into it, which quickly transmitted to a distant place through the Space Channel.
While inputting the text, he didn’t forget to converse with the hymn: "I didn’t expect you to come so quickly. I thought reassembling your core component would take at least a few thousand or even tens of thousands of years."
"I was just lucky," the hymn continued coolly.
At the same time, she began to question, "Your Excellency Tajuke Yaoyang is not here. So, where is he now? Is he in the Holy Silver Star System, or in another star system, or perhaps with the Governor?"
"Haha, you are lucky," the Nebula-level laughed. "Tajuke Yaoyang is in your star system, and is not far from here. If he were in another star system, you’d be waiting for decades!"
"Not far from here?" The hymn furrowed her brow, suddenly considering a possibility: "Does this mean Your Excellency Tajuke Yaoyang is secretly mining our antimatter mine?"
"Antimatter mine" is the most precious and rare mineral in the entire star system, and each unit can be sold for astronomical prices, higher than even the price of Starburst Stone.
The Holy Silver Federation has not yet mastered the technology for mining and using "antimatter mine," which was the technological direction they were striving to conquer prior to the upheaval.
However, just because the Holy Silver Federation lacks it doesn’t mean the Singer Civilization doesn’t!
The Singer Civilization had long mastered this technology, though they wouldn’t share this top-tier technology with the Holy Silver Federation.
The hymn realized that with Tajuke Yaoyang "not far from here," the only thing that could attract Nebula-level beings like them, apart from the Starburst Stone mine, would be the "antimatter mine."
The Starburst Stone mine had long been strictly monitored within the Federation, while the "antimatter mine" was inaccessible, and the surrounding area was deserted.
Therefore, Tajuke Yaoyang’s absence likely meant he was secretly mining their "antimatter mine."
Upon hearing the hymn’s questioning, an embarrassed expression flashed across the Nebula-level Singer Human’s face, not expecting the hymn to guess so quickly.
However, he couldn’t deny it and was forced to explain, "It can’t quite be considered secret mining. Tajuke Yaoyang is merely collecting some for research, hoping to study whether there are differences between the antimatter mine in your star system and those in other star systems..."
"..." The hymn remained silent, continuing to gaze piercingly at him.
Realizing this explanation wouldn’t suffice, the Nebula-level reluctantly said, "Besides, Your Excellency Tajuke Yaoyang is following the Governor’s orders. The Governor personally instructed him to mine, with 70% of the mined antimatter belonging to the Governor."
"Since it’s guided by the Governor, I have nothing to say," the hymn sighed inwardly. "Then you should have Tajuke Yaoyang return quickly. I want to meet the Governor in person."
"Alright, Tajuke Yaoyang replied." The Nebula-level glanced at the transmission terminal and continued, "He said he could return within five days at the latest, so please wait here a little longer and be patient."
...
...
Afterward, Su Yu and the hymn had to wait on this planet for five days.
There wasn’t much worth exploring on the planet, and Su Yu wasn’t in the mood to wander.
Apart from chatting with the hymn, the only thing Su Yu did was observe the movements of the Singer Civilization’s experts on the planet using spiritual power.
The behavioral logic of the Singer Civilization’s experts was quite different from that of the Holy Silver Human Race. They remained aloof, even at the Stellar Level, not showing much respect for someone like Su Yu at the Nebula Level.
Their main purpose was mining or tourism, with hardly any other objectives.
On the fifth day in the evening, a beam of light soared into the sky from the northern part of the planet, signaling the timely return of Tajuke Yaoyang whom they awaited.
