“Keep a close watch on that device. We've already dispatched professionals to retrieve it.”

Li Ruiqi said in a very good mood.

Within the entire dismantled Zhi Gu planetary fortress, the most valuable thing was this super-attraction device.

Now that it was found, and its damage was confirmed to be minimal, it was fantastic news.

"Yes!"

Wenluosi cut off communication after replying.

At this moment, Putemi stepped forward and handed a document to Li Ruiqi.

"This is the list of personnel who signed up to participate in the collection operation."

Li Ruiqi casually flipped through it. The thick stack was filled with names. The number of applicants was at least three times more than the previous Ruin Starry Sky operation.

"Not bad, quite a few people."

"I don't quite understand why we're opening up so much. We can eat this cake slowly."

Putemi asked with a frown.

Li Ruiqi smiled and replied, "The problem is we don't have time. Time is money. You have to know that this one-month operation time has been squeezed out after repeated calculations. Anyway, we can't finish it all, so why not let everyone join in? That way, we can eat even more and strengthen the Black Obsidian as much as possible. Besides, after a month, I will leave a team of specialized personnel here to collect ordinary materials, and they will slowly transport them back to Earth."

"Alright."

After listening, Putemi sighed and said nothing more.

At this time, Auglas said to Putemi, "Look further ahead. This is just one stop on our journey."

"Yes, Lord Auglas."

Putemi replied respectfully.

---------------------------------------------------

In the starry sky, Su Mo was piloting Sun Duoxiang's Black Steel mech, flying at a constant speed towards the dissected planetary fortress. Sun Duoxiang and others were following closely behind in transport ships.

Looking from a distance, you could see a black planet enveloped in countless crumbling remains.

It looked very shocking.

However, even more shocking were the operation teams. Countless personnel piloting mechs and ships swept across like locusts.

In the public channel, there were shouts from energized operation personnel everywhere.

"Charge! The opportunity to get rich is right in front of us."

....

"Boss, where are we going?"

Sun Duoxiang shouted excitedly.

"Follow me."

Su Mo took a deep breath, pushed the power lever to the end, and controlled the Black Steel mech to fly towards a damaged area.

His goal was simple: the shattered Imperial Capital.

Although both were ruins, the value there would definitely be better.

....

Two days later, Su Mo piloted his mech, floating in mid-air, watching Sun Duoxiang and others frantically collecting various materials.

In the communication channel, Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.

"Boss, you're too awesome. There are so many gems, artworks, and rare materials here."

"Just pick them up."

However, there was not a trace of joy on Su Mo's face.

Although these things were of good value, they were far from his expectations.

And the worst part was that he hadn't collected any energy crystals or anything like that yet.

Su Mo looked at the time on his phone and said to Sun Duoxiang.

"You guys collect here slowly. I'll go back and rest for a while, and then come back to explore later."

"No problem, Boss. This area is too rich. It's enough for us to collect for a few days."

Sun Duoxiang replied happily.

"Alright, just do what you can. Don't overwork yourselves. It'll be funny if you die of overwork."

"Don't worry, that will never happen."

Then Su Mo pulled the mech's control stick and returned to the Black Obsidian.

Soon, Su Mo piloted the mech back to the L9 fighter hangar of the Black Obsidian.

This combat hangar was basically used by the Pioneer Company.

Since he was doing personal work, Su Mo didn't go to the GT department's combat hangar to avoid suspicion.

However, compared to the regular army hangar, this place was very lively, with laughter and curses everywhere.

"Old Liu, did you explore anything good?"

"Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you, you grandson."

"Yo, you sound confident. It looks like I'm going to get rich this time."

......

Su Mo parked the Black Steel mech, opened the cockpit, and jumped down.

He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the medical station. He needed to do a full body check to make sure he wasn't injured or infected before entering the Black Obsidian.

It's worth noting that if you are not injured, you do not need to be quarantined.

Of course, don't be tempted to skip it. During the collection operation, the Black Obsidian was even stricter about this.

It is also worth noting that this service is free for military officers. But not for the Pioneer Company, they have to pay extra each time.

And the fees are not cheap, which is actually a disguised way of extracting resources from the Pioneer Company.

Su Mo spent a little time doing a full body check. After confirming that there were no problems, he entered the Black Obsidian.

He walked towards his GT department, intending to go back to his dormitory to rest and recharge before exploring again.

But when Su Mo arrived at the dormitory, he frowned and stopped.

A female officer in a black and white striped special uniform was standing at his door.

She saw Su Mo immediately and greeted him.

"Are you Lieutenant Su Mo?"

"Yes, and you are?"

Su Mo replied calmly.

The female officer presented her credentials and said coldly, "I am Major Daisy from the Black and White Agency. There is a case that requires your cooperation. I am here to ask for your statement. I hope you can answer truthfully."

"Okay, please ask."

Su Mo replied calmly.

"This case concerns the accusation of Ye Wuhen, Xiao Jie, and a total of one hundred and thirty-two people, accusing them of disobeying orders in battle, violating military orders, harming comrades, causing serious casualties, and extremely serious consequences."

Daisy asked stiffly.

Although Daisy's attitude didn't seem very good, she was actually being polite to Su Mo.

The Black and White Agency is even tougher on officers from other systems.

"The truth is, we had just finished exploring with Garan in the underground city and were returning to the temporary camp to get supplies. On the way, we ran into Ye Wuhen and the others who were under attack, and then they approached us. At that time, Lin Ming made it very clear to them that we had other newly acquainted companions in our team, and we were carrying supplies, so we couldn't fight immediately. We told them not to attract the enemy, so we could unload the supplies, get away from Garan and them, and then support them as soon as possible. But Xiao Jie and the others didn't listen. Lin Ming gave a clear warning and a second order, but they still didn't listen and still approached. That's how it happened."

Su Mo simply stated the process, without adding any embellishments or exaggerations.

But then again, Su Mo was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Ming that guy really sued these guys.

He really did what he said, his principles are so strong.

"Can you be responsible for what you say?"

Daisy confirmed.

"No problem, I can be responsible for what I say, there is no problem."

Su Mo replied truthfully.

"Lieutenant Su Mo, thank you for your cooperation. If we need your statement again later, we will come to you. Also, if you have anything else to add, you can come to us at any time."

Daisy said simply.

"Okay!"

Su Mo nodded in reply.
