"Quick, move! Bring the news back to the God Clan!"

"Lord God Officer!"

"Go!"

The God Officer roared with all his might.

At that moment, with a loud crash, the entire ship shook violently again.

Seeing this, the First Officer gritted his teeth, got up, and rushed towards the nearby hangar.

*Tss Tss*

The scene changed, and the First Officer was seen piloting a Divine Guardian, rushing out of the ship. An incredibly shocking scene appeared.

A behemoth covered in glistening crystals, like a comet, was frantically ramming the ship.

The entire Star Destroyer burst into flames and plunged towards Ceres.

*Tss Tss*

The blurry image ended there.

Su Mo's head throbbed as he couldn't help but complain to Creator · Devourer.

"How am I supposed to find anything with just these clues? This ship crashed just after flying out of Ceres. I can't even see the full view of Ceres. Who knows which area it fell into? Ceres is so huge, how am I supposed to find it?"

"If it were that easy to find, do you think the old man wouldn't have found it? Do you think Ikaroya would have been searching for so many years? Having this much information is already pretty good. At least it doesn't have you flying around like a headless fly."

Creator · Devourer replied disdainfully.

"I know, it's just that it hurts my head to look at it."

Su Mo replied, his head aching.

At this moment, Qian Chengxue walked over and said to Su Mo with a smile, "Why the long face?"

"It's nothing, just a headache from looking at this. Forget it, I won't watch it anymore."

Su Mo replied with a wry smile, turning off the image.

"Don't worry, take your time."

Although Qian Chengxue didn't know what Su Mo was doing, watching that image repeatedly, she kept comforting him.

"By the way, what's up?"

Su Mo stretched and asked.

Qian Chengxue organized her thoughts and said to Su Mo.

"It's like this, the repair progress of the Prison Heart Fortress is going very smoothly, but..."

"But what?"

Su Mo's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked with a bad premonition.

"But we don't have enough materials."

Qian Chengxue said to Su Mo.

"No way, we have so many high-grade ores on hand. How can we be running out after only repairing for so long?"

Su Mo was slightly stunned and asked in disbelief.

"It's like this, repairing the fortress doesn't just require high-grade ores, it also requires a massive amount of ordinary and medium-grade ores. Although the Federation has provided us with a large sum for free, it's far from enough for the demand. Dr. Abick and the others have converted some of the less popular Level 6 ores into ordinary and medium-grade ores through various channels, but that can only solve the immediate problem, and can't completely solve the shortage. After all, exchanging too much would be a huge loss."

Qian Chengxue roughly explained the situation to Su Mo.

After listening, Su Mo asked.

"How big is the shortage?"

"Zi Nuo has made a special estimate of the shortage. You can take a look at it for reference."

Qian Chengxue then took out a very thick list of documents and handed them to Su Mo.

Su Mo took it and carefully flipped through the catalog and quantities on the list. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. In particular, the numbers marked after each ore were ridiculously long.

"That's a lot."

"I was stunned when I saw it too, but I specifically reconfirmed with Lin Zi Nuo to see if that's really how much we needed. She told me that this is the most conservative estimate."

Qian Chengxue replied helplessly.

The more Su Mo listened, the more his head ached. With such a big shortage, where could he get them? He knew that this fortress wouldn't be easy to repair, but he couldn't not repair it.

He thought carefully for a moment, then turned to Ti Luo and shouted.

"Ti Luo!"

Hearing Su Mo's call, Ti Luo walked over and replied.

"Su Mo, what's the matter?"

"Is there any information about Xiao Wen? How are they doing now?"

"Xiao Wen and the others have finished cleaning up the battlefield and have mined a large amount of ore from that resource star. However, due to the impact of the negative energy tide and the monster tide, they retreated to the Lei Wakelisi base with their supplies to take refuge. Currently, that route is not very clear, and long-distance voyages are a bit dangerous, so they can't come back for the time being. But Xiao Wen said that when the time is right, they will try to return."

Ti Luo roughly explained the situation to Su Mo.

"Did Xiao Wen send back a list of profits?"

Su Mo thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes."

Ti Luo then waved her hand and transferred a virtual document to Su Mo.

Su Mo carefully read it and stroked his chin.

"This..."

"What's wrong? Are the profits not ideal?"

Qian Chengxue asked in confusion.

"No, the profits are very generous, but compared to the shortage, it's not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

Su Mo sighed helplessly and replied.

"Then what should we do?"

Qian Chengxue asked worriedly.

"Let me think, where can we get so much ore?"

Su Mo leaned back in his command chair and muttered to himself, feeling a headache coming on.

Sun Duoxiang came over at this time and said to Su Mo, "Boss, with such a big shortage, where else can we get it besides going to Ceres to mine it ourselves?"

"You think Ceres is easy to mine? Any decent areas have already been claimed by someone. The remaining areas either don't have good resources, or they're too dangerous to mine."

Su Mo said helplessly.

"No way."

Sun Duoxiang scratched his head and said in disbelief.

"Su Mo is right. If it were that easy to mine, then everyone would be rich."

Ti Luo agreed.

"If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, what are we going to do? Where are we going to get so much ore?"

Sun Duoxiang asked with a worried look.

Su Mo also became worried for a moment. He touched his forehead and thought about a solution.

Qian Chengxue and the others didn't know what to say.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Su Mo suddenly stood up, a look of excitement on his face.

"I have a way!"

"What way?"

Everyone looked at Su Mo curiously.

"I know a place where we can mine a massive amount of resources."

Su Mo said confidently.

"Really? Where is it?"

Everyone replied in surprise.

"Of course it's true. As for where it is, you don't need to worry about it for now. I'll tell you slowly later. Sun Duoxiang, you go and purchase a batch of the most advanced mining equipment immediately. The more intelligent, the better, and it must be able to withstand low temperatures!"

Su Mo immediately turned to Sun Duoxiang and gave the order.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Sun Duoxiang didn't ask any more questions and hurried off to make the purchase.

Su Mo then turned to Qian Chengxue: "Chenxi Company should still have a lot of idle Blue Whale ships, right?"

"Yes, due to the impact of the monster tide, most of the Blue Whale ships have stopped operating."

Qian Chengxue nodded in response.

"Leave a few ships behind, and requisition the rest."

Su Mo thought for a moment and instructed Qian Chengxue.

"Okay, no problem."

Qian Chengxue agreed without hesitation.

Su Mo then said to Ti Luo, "Prepare yourselves, we're going to the front lines."
