Chapter 1449 Advance Team

Chapter 1450 Advance Team
Qin Hao immediately ordered: "Activate the outer blue crystal mines, fully activate the middle layer anti-magnetic plate, and preheat the inner layer pulse defense device! Ali, lead the assault team to guard the outer layer."

Elder Omar, have the tribal forces guard the middle level. Elder Karuba, lead the miners to a safe zone and protect the mother ore fragments!

An hour later, a black figure appeared behind the sand dunes at the entrance to the mine.

The advanced advance team wore heavy anti-magnetic armor, and the blue crystal destructive bullets in their hands glowed red.

As soon as they approached the outer defense line, they pressed the button to detonate the mine. With a loud bang, the blue crystal mines instantly became ineffective, and smoke filled the entire mine entrance.

"Activate the pulse defense device!" Ali shouted.

The inner device immediately hummed, and pale blue pulse waves spread outward. The antimagnetic armor of the advance team began to malfunction, and the energy lamps flickered.

Elder Omar led the tribal forces forward, their spears tipped with copper fragments, aiming for the armor of the vanguard.

The moment the copper sheet touched the armor, the antimagnetic element emitted a hissing sound, and the armor's energy shield immediately shattered.

"Break their armor with bronze weapons!" Omar shouted.

The assault team members rushed up as well. Blue Crystal tranquilizer darts hit the exposed parts of the advance team, and one after another, the advance team members fell to the ground.

But at that moment, the last member of the advance team suddenly pulled the pin on his suicide bomb and rushed toward the entrance to the Blue Crystal Source.

"Even if I die, I will blow it up!"

"Stop him!" Qin Hao shouted.

Ali lunged forward and grabbed the advance team, but it was too late.

The destructive bomb exploded instantly, creating a three-meter-wide crack in the rock wall at the entrance to the Blue Crystal Source. The magnetic field began to malfunction slightly, and rubble fell from the top.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Qin Hao walked to the crack, looked at the blue crystal source inside that was glowing with black light, and took a deep breath.

"Aria, prepare to activate the ritual! We don't have time to wait, activate the blue crystal portal between Mars and Earth now!"

Arya took out the transparent blue crystal fragment given to her by the Crystal Guardian; the coordinate map inside the fragment was clearly visible under the light.

She embedded the fragment into a groove in the rock wall, and Elder Omar opened the prayer book and began chanting the final prayer.

Kam slowly poured the liquid mixture of blue crystal dust and copper ore powder into the groove.

Qin Hao then took the fragment of the mother ore and stuck it to the rock wall to guide the energy.

With a loud bang, the rock wall slowly opened, revealing the source of the blue crystal to everyone.

The jet-black crystal gleamed with a pale blue light, resonating strongly with the signal from the direction of Mars.

The screen displayed that the interstellar defense network was 80% activated, and the voice of the guardian of the crystal echoed in everyone's minds.

"The defense network is taking shape, but the Crystal Raider fleet will arrive in 10 hours. Their dark matter cannons can penetrate the shield. To fully activate the defense network, we must find the Martian Blue Crystal Core, which is hidden deep within the mineral belt of Utopia Plain."

Just as Aria was about to ask further, she suddenly noticed a rusty device embedded in the inner wall of the Blue Crystal Source.

It's equipment left behind by old John from 1995.

She carefully removed the device, pressed the start button, and heard Old John's hoarse voice coming from inside.

"The core of the blue crystal is not on Mars; it's in Earth's mantle. The crystal plunderers' true target is..."

The recording suddenly stopped, sparks flew from the equipment, and it was completely destroyed.

At the same time, Aria's detector emitted a rapid beeping sound, and the screen displayed an abnormal energy signal coming from the mantle layer, which originated from the same source as the Blue Crystal Source.

Qin Hao looked at the damaged equipment, then at the signal on the detector, and his heart sank.

Old John had known all along that there was a blue crystal core in the mantle layer, and the crystal plunderers' target might be even more terrifying than they imagined.

In the distance, the black warships of the Crystal Raider fleet drew ever closer, and Earth's fate hung in the balance for the final 10 hours.

The laboratory at the West African research station.

Arya's fingers flew across the keyboard of the detector, while the mantle energy signal on the screen kept fluctuating.

After Old John's rusty equipment broke down completely, the precise coordinates that originally pointed to the mantle were lost, leaving only a vague range of 5000 meters directly below the Guinea Gulf mineral vein.

"No, drilling like that will definitely cause an accident."

Aria abruptly turned off the detector and pressed her fingertip against An's forehead.

"The magnetic field strength of the mantle layer is 10 times that of the parent ore. If we force drilling without finding the right entrance, the magnetic field will explode and the entire ore vein will collapse."

Qin Hao leaned closer to the screen, his fingertip tracing the flashing red signal area.

"Elder Chief Karuba, could you please try your bronze nameplate again?"

Karuba walked over holding the plaque, the edges of which were still covered with sand from the mineral vein.

He affixed the nameplate to the mineral vein model in the laboratory. Only the northwest side of the model emitted a faint blue light; the rest was pitch black.

"No, the Sky Stone's guidance is too weak. It can only sense that the entrance is over there, but it can't pinpoint exactly where it is."

"I'm going to find Cam." Qin Hao turned around and grabbed his anti-magnetic suit.

"He did experiments on the mantle layer with old John back then, so he might remember some details. Arya, go back to the 1995 log, old John must have written down clues about the entrance in it."

"Ali, take the assault team and guard the northwest side of the mine. No matter where the entrance is, that area must not be allowed to be occupied by the crystal raiders first."

Half an hour later, in Kam's makeshift tent, the old miner was frowning at a pile of yellowed experimental records.

“In 1995, John Sr. did mention the mantle entrance.”

He pointed with his cane to a line of small print on the record.

"They said the patterns at the entrance are the same as those in the murals at North African sites, and that you need bronze artifacts to find it."

Qin Hao immediately dialed Pang Wanshan's number: "Pang Wanshan, go to the North African ruins now and bring back the rubbings of the murals! Ailiya needs to use the rubbings to compare with the vein patterns to determine the location of the entrance. Keep an eye out for the advance team of the Crystal Looters on the way; they are definitely also looking for the entrance."

"Received!" Pang Wanshan's voice was accompanied by the roar of an engine.

"I'm setting off from the North African transit point right now with five armed trucks. We'll be at the site within two hours!"

But just as Pang Wanshan's convoy left the transfer station, an urgent report came through the walkie-talkie. "Mr. Pang! There's an ambush behind the sand dunes ahead! It's the advance team of the Crystal Raiders!"

Pang Wanshan slammed on the brakes and looked up to see a dozen advance team members dressed in black armor rushing out from behind the sand dunes. They threw anti-magnetic mines on the ground, and with a loud bang, the two leading transport trucks were instantly overturned, and the supplies inside were scattered all over the ground.

"Antimagnetic mines can destroy blue crystals! Don't use blue crystal tranquilizer grenades!" Pang Wanshan shouted into the walkie-talkie from behind the truck.

"Quickly use copper smoke grenades! Ali mentioned before that copper powder can interfere with antimagnetic weapons!"

The team members immediately took out copper smoke grenades, pulled the pins, and threw them out, releasing a light green smoke.

The advance team's anti-magnetic rifles went silent instantly, their muzzles crackling with electrical current.

Just then, Ali's commando team arrived.

The team members charged from the side, holding copper-cobalt alloy shields. The shields blocked the spears of the advance team, while another team member took the opportunity to smash the armor of the advance team with a copper mining shovel.

The moment the bronze object touched the armor, the antimagnetic element emitted a burning smell, and the armor's energy lamp immediately went out.

"Don't move!" Ali's voice boomed.

The team members quickly subdued the remaining advance team and found a crumpled map in one of their pockets. The map circled an area on the northwest side of the ore vein in red and had the words "candidate site for mantle entrance" written next to it.

“They were indeed looking for the entrance as well.” Ali handed the map to Qin Hao, who had rushed over.

"Luckily we arrived in time, and they didn't steal the rubbings."

Two hours later, Pang Wanshan's transport team finally delivered the rubbings of the murals to the laboratory.

Arya laid the rubbing on the three-dimensional model of the vein. The blue lines on the rubbing perfectly matched the U-shaped fault on the northwest side of the model, and a bronze plaque pattern was drawn in the center of the fault.

“This is it!” Aria pointed to the center of the fault.

"The entrance must be in the U-shaped fault on the northwest side of the mine! Elder Karuba, can your nameplate sense it now?"

Carrying the plaque, Karuba ran to the fault on the northwest side of the mine and stuck the plaque and a piece of red light fragment to the rock wall.

The next second, the patterns on the nameplate suddenly lit up and slowly aligned with the blue crystal patterns on the rock wall. With a crack, a 3-meter-wide crack appeared in the rock wall, revealing black energy light inside.

The entrance to the mantle has finally been found.

"Notify Van der Sar." Qin Hao stared into the darkness of the entrance.

"Have him deliver the finished blue crystal energy modules as soon as possible. We need to use the modules to reinforce the entrance defenses. Also, there are only 8 hours left before the Crystal Raider fleet arrives."

The rock walls at the entrance to the mantle were still trembling slightly. Qin Hao, Ailiya, and Ali, along with 10 team members, wearing improved copper-cobalt alloy anti-magnetic suits and carrying miner's lamps, walked inside.

The inner walls of the tunnel were covered with a layer of black blue crystals. When the miner's lamp shone on them, it reflected a cold light. The detector showed that the magnetic field strength here had reached 12 times that of the parent ore.

"Watch your step," Aria warned.

"The geology of the mantle layer is unstable; avoid stepping on those cracks."

But after walking only 1000 meters, they suddenly felt a sticky sensation on the ground. When the team members looked down, they saw that the soles of their shoes were covered with a transparent sticky liquid, as if they were glued on.

"What is this?"

A team member used a dagger to pick up some of the mucus and placed it under the detector. The screen immediately displayed the words "Blue Crystal Secretion, Contains High Concentration of Antimagnetic Elements".

"It's the slime of the mantle blue crystal worm!" Kam's voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.

"During the experiment in 1995, John Sr.'s team encountered this insect. Its exoskeleton was so hard it could cut through steel, and it was also radioactive!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a piercing sound came from the depths of the passage, and countless worms, each two meters long, crawled out. Their shells gleamed with a blue crystal luster, and their claws left deep marks on the rock wall.

"Quickly, use the high-frequency sonic grenade!" Aria shouted.

The team members immediately pulled out the grenades they had prepared beforehand, pulled the pins, and threw them out.

The piercing sound waves echoed through the passage, throwing the worms into disarray, and they began to burrow into the crevices of the rock wall.

But a worm still pounced on it, its claws scratching one of the team members' anti-magnetic suits. With a ripping sound, the suit was torn open, and the team member's arm immediately turned red, making him wince in pain.

"Radiation! This insect's claws are radioactive!"

“Elder Omar!” Qin Hao shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"We need your prayers to help us channel energy and completely drive away the worms!"

At a makeshift altar in a North African archaeological site, Elder Omar is leading elders from 20 tribes in chanting prayers, the bronze objects gleaming blue in their hands.

"Roger! We'll use the copper tools to conduct energy now. Point your headlamps towards the worms!"

As the chanting grew louder, a pale blue energy emanated from the miner's lamp, illuminating the worms in the tunnel.

The worms recoiled as if burned, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

"Continue to go!"

Qin Hao waved, and the team quickened their pace, finally spotting the core cavity of the mantle at a depth of 3000 meters.

In the center of a huge cave, a blue crystal the size of a basketball floats, which is the blue crystal core they are looking for. The surface of the core glows with a soft light, and the detector shows that its energy output is 100 times that of the parent ore.

"that's it!"

Aria excitedly ran over, took out the activation device, and connected it to the core.

"As long as the core frequency is adjusted to 78Hz and synchronized with the frequency of the Martian mineral belt, the full energy of the defense network can be activated!"

But just then, an explosion suddenly came from the entrance, and rubble fell like raindrops.
