Chapter 2054 Accident

Lu Yue's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, which looked gentle and friendly, as if there was no malice at all. His eyes fell on Ye Ye, revealing a little concern in his eyes. After all, when he first met Ye Ye, Ye Ye's condition was too miserable.

Ye Ye's voice was slightly confused, and he seemed to be completely unaware of the environment he was in.

"Can you tell me where this is? It seems that my memory will not be restored in a short time. If I don't even know some basic common sense, I'm afraid I will have to rely on you forever."

Finally, Ye Ye made a little joke.

Lu Yue nodded in understanding. He did not refuse too much, but readily agreed to Ye Ye's request and began to describe the situation here in detail.

"This is Planet 47, and I am a resident of this planet. My parents have worked in the mining fleet for many years, so I am quite familiar with this planet."

Lu Yue's tone was calm and gentle, making people feel very comfortable.

He went on to introduce.

"This planet is actually not very big, with a population of only about one million. It is a satellite planet of the Hope Galaxy's main planet, Morning Star, and is numbered 47. Although the planet is relatively small, it also has its own unique ecology and culture."

In the vast universe, resources have always been the focus of competition among various forces. Back then, humans resolutely left their home planet, the Blue Planet, and embarked on a long and arduous interstellar journey. After countless explorations and attempts, they finally discovered a galaxy that had not yet been developed by other races.

However, this does not mean that this galaxy is ignored by other races. In fact, the reason why this galaxy has survived is mainly because its resources are relatively scarce and there are very few resource stars. Sending mining teams to mine and occupy it may not only fail to recover the cost, but may even be more costly than the gain. In addition, its remote geographical location and inconvenient transportation have made this galaxy a forgotten corner.

Despite this, this galaxy still has a certain appeal to humans. Compared with the Milky Way, which only has one resource star, the Blue Star, the resources here are relatively abundant. Therefore, humans decided to set up camp here and start a new life.

In order to express their beautiful expectations for the future, humans named this galaxy "Hope Galaxy". The name of the brightest and largest planet in it, Qiming, is given a special meaning. It symbolizes that humans will open up a new tomorrow here and meet new opportunities and challenges.

However, what is shocking is that the level of human infrastructure and the speed of development far exceeded the expectations of all races. They expanded rapidly at an incredible speed, not only occupying 72 planets in the Hope Galaxy including Venus, but also numbering these planets in a certain order, starting from the first main star Venus to the 72nd satellite star.

At this moment, Ye Ye was at the 47th star. With the rapid development of human power, the resources near the Hope Galaxy were gradually unable to meet the needs of the Morning Star. Therefore, they did not hesitate to turn their attention to the surrounding resource stars that had not yet been clearly identified, and launched an active occupation and resource collection operation. This also became one of the main tasks of the other 71 stars except the Morning Star.

Ye Ye's appearance was completely unexpected. At that time, Lu Yue's parents were driving a small mining ship to carry out an interstellar mining mission. This was also the first time Lu Yue participated in such a mission as an adult. For him, this was undoubtedly an important "debut".

During the mining process, Lu Yue controlled the mining ship and waved the shovel with great anticipation, hoping to dig out some valuable minerals. However, no one expected that his first shovel would actually dig out a piece of mineral with quite good quality! This surprised all three of them.

The mining ship quickly collected the precious mineral and put it into the warehouse area of ​​the spacecraft. As time went on, the warehouse was filled with more and more minerals.

When the warehouse was almost full, Lu Yue's parents realized that they should first check the purity of the ore and label them for easy classification. This is an important step, because only by understanding the purity of the ore can we better evaluate its value and use.

Lu Yue's parents acted quickly, carefully checking each piece of ore and using professional testing instruments to measure its purity. Although the process was a bit cumbersome, they were very serious and ensured that each piece of ore was accurately evaluated.

After checking the purity of the ore, Lu Yue's parents began to label them. These labels not only indicated the purity of the ore, but also contained other important information, such as the source of the ore and the time of mining. In this way, when they returned to the mothership, the mothership could more conveniently sort and process the ores.

While Lu Yue was busy in the warehouse with his parents, something unexpected happened. When the detection instrument scanned a particularly large piece of ore, the display suddenly showed an abnormal situation. The purity of this ore was quite high, and it was the huge ore deposit that Lu Yue had dug out before, which was a hundred meters square.

However, at the edge of the mine, the detection instrument found a shadow of very low purity. This discovery surprised Lu Yue's parents, who originally thought that this huge mine should be very pure.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the mission, they decided to cut off the low-purity ore on board. This would avoid wasting time and resources in the subsequent processing. Lu Yue's parents quickly prepared the tools and carefully cut the ore out of the mine.

At the moment when the cutter in Lu Yue's parents' hands cut open the skin in the shadow, the three of them opened their eyes as big as copper bells, opened their mouths wide, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Because, under the cut skin, there was a trace of ice crystal! This trace of ice crystal flickered faintly in the darkness, as if a corner of a secret hidden deep inside had been revealed.

Lu Yue's father was the first to come to his senses. He was keenly aware that something was wrong, so he stopped cutting without hesitation. He took a deep breath, calmed down, picked up a small tool beside him, and carefully began to knock off the rock layer outside the ice crystal bit by bit.

Every time he struck the ice, he was terrified, fearing that he might accidentally destroy the ice crystals or damage any objects inside. As time passed, Lu Yue and his mother nervously watched his father's movements, not daring to breathe.

Finally, after a lot of hard work, the last rock layer was knocked off. When the ice layer was completely exposed, they saw a shocking sight - Ye Ye was wrapped in ice!

Ye Ye's body was tightly wrapped in a thick layer of ice, as if it was frozen in time. His face was clearly visible, with his eyes closed, as if he had been sleeping for a long time.

His body was covered with scars, the purple chilblains made people feel cold, and the blood was spattered on his clothes, with a strange hint of red.

Lu Yue's heartbeat almost stopped, his throat was dry, and he almost cried. They were just here to mine, how could they have dug up a person? Moreover, the person's clothes and decorations looked no different from those of a normal human being. What was going on?

Father Lu frowned, realizing that this situation was beyond their capabilities. After a brief thought, he made a prompt decision to return to the mothership immediately and report the discovery to the higher-ups. After all, this was not something they could handle easily.

At this critical moment, something unexpected happened. In the past hundred years, Morningstar has been constantly expanding its sphere of influence, and this behavior has long caused strong dissatisfaction among various races in nearby galaxies.

When they just arrived at the mining mothership, before they had time to catch their breath, the mothership was suddenly bombarded by the ship-borne guns of an unknown force. Although these gunfire did not cause much substantial damage to the mothership, the mining mothership was, after all, just a ship used to mine resources, and it was not equipped with any effective counterattack weapons.

Faced with the sudden attack, the crew on the mothership panicked. They could only hurriedly start the jump engine and try to escape from this dangerous place.

After being attacked by unknown forces, the mothership immediately entered the highest level of alert. In this tense atmosphere, Father Lu was unable to report Ye Ye's situation in detail to his superiors. He could only ensure that the mothership returned safely to the 47th planet, and then find an opportunity to report to his superiors.

However, what is unexpected is that the forces that attacked the mining mothership this time did not seem to be just for the purpose of robbing resources. Their actions were more like a warning signal to Qixingxing, an undisguised provocation.

At the moment when the mining mothership was preparing to perform a space jump, the other party also activated the same technology and followed closely behind the mining mothership. This situation shocked the crew of the Morning Star, because this synchronized space jump technology requires a high degree of precision and coordination, which is absolutely beyond the control of ordinary forces.

What was worse was that the other party was driving a combat spacecraft, whose warp speed was much faster than that of the mining mothership. Therefore, they not only managed to catch up with the mining mothership, but also arrived outside the 47th planet ahead of it.

Then, this group of mysterious attackers hijacked the mining mothership without hesitation, and this sudden incident caught the Morning Star off guard. They originally thought it was just an ordinary resource robbery incident, but now it seems that things are much more complicated than they imagined.

Morning Star immediately became alert and tried to drive away these uninvited guests many times, but they turned a deaf ear to the warnings. Instead, as time went on, more and more starships gathered around the 47th star, forming a tight encirclement that trapped Morning Star.

As if they were deliberately trying to intimidate Qixing, these people did not cause any substantial damage to the mining mothership. When the senior officials of the Qixing Chinese government rushed to the scene in a panic, they actually let the mining mothership go so easily.

However, this was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, they mercilessly launched a fierce attack on the 47th star and the high-ranking officials of the Chinese government who came to Qimingxing! In an instant, a thrilling star war suddenly broke out.

In this fierce battle, Lu Yue's parents, as experienced senior pilots, naturally could not stay out of it. They responded quickly, urgently replaced the combat spacecraft, and threw themselves into this life-and-death contest without hesitation.

This is why Lu Yue was the only one left at home at this moment. Before his parents left, they were full of entanglements and contradictions. After weighing the pros and cons, they finally decided to temporarily conceal Ye Ye's existence and postpone informing the upper level of the news. After all, in such a tense battle situation, any distraction could lead to serious consequences.

So, they told Lu Yue to keep an eye on Ye Ye. However, no one expected that just as Lu Yue's parents stepped out of the house, Ye Ye, who was originally thought to have lost any signs of life, miraculously woke up!

Seeing Ye Ye wake up, Lu Yue was scared half to death, but seeing Ye Ye coughing constantly and with a painful look on his face, he hurriedly went to find ointment to apply on Ye Ye, hoping to alleviate some of Ye Ye's pain.

"Thanks……"

Ye Ye looked at Lu Yue, who was drinking water like crazy because his mouth was dry from talking too much, and said sincerely. His voice was a little hoarse, obviously he had just woken up and had not fully recovered yet.

Ye Ye secretly sighed in his heart that his awakening process was so tortuous. Recalling the scene at that time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Lu Yue's father hadn't shown mercy, he would have been cut in half by the sharp cutter on the spot. You know, that was a cutter that could easily cut ore! Ye Ye didn't think that his body was harder than ore.

Fortunately, everything is over now, and Ye Ye finally felt relieved. According to Lu Yue, his existence seemed to have not been discovered by others, which was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for Ye Ye.

However, just when Ye Ye relaxed a little, Lu Yue's words made his face instantly stiffen.

"Of course you are. Why did you run to such a distant planet? And why did you get frozen into ice?"

Lu Yue looked at Ye Ye curiously, his eyes full of doubts.

Ye Ye felt a little bitter in his heart, and he complained secretly. How should he explain this?

Can't always tell the truth...
