Chapter 1088: Chapter 1098: Black Gold Essence! (Second Update)

The Douluo slowly ascended into the sky, directly piercing through the atmosphere, and rushed outward.

Tang Zhong sat inside the spaceship. It was his first time venturing beyond Earth, and his heart pounded wildly.

He fastened his seatbelt, remembering that previous astronauts were fixed within the cabin of the spaceship when they left Earth!

"Don’t worry, the Douluo is very stable!" A Flame Dragon Soldier said, noticing Tang Zhong’s reaction.

"Humans breathe through oxygen, but there’s no oxygen in the universe..." Tang Zhong continued.

"What oxygen, what oxygen, listen, Earth used to be enclosed, so there was no cosmic energy on Earth, hence humans had to rely on oxygen. But now that cosmic energy has entered, there’s no need for it!" explained the Flame Dragon Soldier earnestly.

Tang Zhong nodded after hearing all the explanations.

At that moment, the spaceship passed right through the atmosphere, the blue sky quickly vanishing behind, and Tang Zhong looked back briefly before redirecting his gaze forward, where Mars and other parts of the Solar System appeared in sight.

But Tang Zhong found the current Solar System to be somewhat different from usual.

It seems that Earth really was hidden, hence the present situation!

Oh, universe, universe, I have finally come.

"The first stop is the Moon, the first celestial body humans landed on!" declared the Flame Dragon Soldier.

"If you want to venture into the universe, you must first be told everything in this Solar System!"

"Oh, but the Moon is still quite a distance from Earth!" Tang Zhong remarked.

"The Douluo’s flight speed is extremely fast, so... we’ve arrived!" said the Flame Dragon Soldier.

"Arrived?" Tang Zhong was shocked.

There were no glass windows on the spaceship to see outside.

But at this time, a projection appeared above the cockpit, and in front of Tang Zhong, a three-dimensional hologram appeared!

"What is this thing?" Tang Zhong asked in surprise.

"This is the Douluo’s holographic projection, capable of analyzing anything within sight, including what materials and metals are contained within, as most of these dwarf stars are composed of metal and minerals!" the Flame Dragon Soldier explained.

Looking at the Moon, Tang Zhong clearly saw everything on its surface.

"You can also enlarge the projection if you don’t believe it, give it a try!" the Flame Dragon Soldier suggested.

Tang Zhong did as instructed, enlarging the projection and finding that the surface of the Moon became increasingly clear, even the small craters were visible, this technique was truly fascinating.

"How about it? This is one of the major advantages of the Douluo!" the Flame Dragon Soldier remarked.

"It really is amazing!" responded Tang Zhong.

"Alright, let’s land on the Moon first and then talk, for now, we’ll train your ability to land on stars, open the hatch!" announced the Flame Dragon Soldier.

Tang Zhong didn’t argue, following the order directly. As he disembarked from the Douluo, he found himself on the surface of the Moon, swaying and unable to stand steadily.

"Don’t be afraid, this is the universe, gravity here is different from on Earth, you’re just not used to it, walk around and you’ll adapt!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhong stepped firmly on the ground.

This gravity was much less than Earth’s, and soon Tang Zhong fully acclimatized.

"How are you feeling?" asked the Flame Dragon Soldier.

"Totally fine!" Tang Zhong replied.

"Good, let’s start the sweep now!" the Flame Dragon Soldier said. "Let’s see what treasures are on this Moon!"

Then, he tossed out an instrument, resembling a metal detection device.

"This gadget can detect metals, try it out, it can cover a range of a hundred meters."

"Do I have to check personally?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Technically, no. The previous owner roamed far and wide, and many lords wanted to give their territories to the Dragon, to become its subordinates. As a result, they provided planetary data, data for all planets in the Solar System, and I’ve already said, this is meant to train you, once you’re proficient with everything, I’ll take you to Mercury. Previous data indicated, there seems to be something there!" the Flame Dragon Soldier explained.

"Alright!" Tang Zhong nodded.

Then he began exploring with the device, which could detect metals.

Beep beep!

The instrument beeped, displaying some text on its screen.

"E-grade metal Fire Copper!"

"There’s metal around here!" Tang Zhong shouted.

"Just E-grade, not something valuable!" remarked the Flame Dragon Soldier.

"Ah!" Tang Zhong nodded.

Then he continued walking forward.

"Look around, metals here don’t need to be extracted, they’re all the most common E-grade, and also the worst, mainly to familiarize you with the metal detector!" said the Flame Dragon Soldier.

"Yes!" responded Tang Zhong.

He continued moving forward, and suddenly, the detector in his hand started beeping rapidly.

Have I discovered another metal?

Tang Zhong paused, then immediately checked the device’s screen.

"Black Gold Essence, C-grade metal!"

"Do we want this Black Gold Essence?" Tang Zhong asked.

The Flame Dragon Soldier blurted, "No!"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he quickly corrected himself, "What did you say?"

"Black Gold Essence!"

"Yes... yes, of course, we want it!" the Flame Dragon Soldier exclaimed, hurrying to Tang Zhong’s side, and upon confirming on the device’s screen, laughed heartily.

"I didn’t expect such a good thing in such a barren place, haha, but there shouldn’t be too much, right?" the Flame Dragon Soldier speculated.

"Black Gold Essence is a metal with absorption capabilities, it shouldn’t appear in such a barren place, strange, look quick, where’s the metal? Stick the instrument into the soil, and a projection will appear."

Tang Zhong picked up the instrument, placing it into the soil, instantly revealing a holographic projection above. On the hologram, there was a red portion occupying a bit over the center of the sphere.

"Whoa, such a large amount of Black Gold Essence is in the center of the Moon. No wonder such dwarf stars can exist, turns out these stones are at the center, absorbing surrounding meteorites over the years, forming the Moon we see now. Kid, you’re going to make it big!" the Flame Dragon Soldier exclaimed, "Forget it, even if I explain you won’t understand, let me tell you, this stone has absorption abilities, it’s a D-grade metal, but its capabilities are extraordinary, so it can sell for a high price!" noted the Flame Dragon Soldier.

"Good!" agreed Tang Zhong.

As long as it makes money, let’s extract it!

"Wait, if we extract this stone, won’t the Moon be gone?" Tang Zhong asked.
