Chapter 877: Bee Head Star
"The second mission..." Shen Changqing raised his hand, pointing at the route map on the light computer screen, and said in a calm tone, "The second mission is to go here and capture a star beast called the Black Gold Rat and obtain the teeth of 10 Black Gold Rats of 2-star level or higher."
Upon hearing Shen Changqing reveal the mission’s content, everyone followed the route map pointed by Shen Changqing’s finger and looked up, pausing for a moment in awe.
Chu Jiaojiao frowned, "This place is... Bee Head Star?"
Shen Changqing retracted his hand and gently said, "That’s right. The mission location is Bee Head Star. Due to the habits of the Black Gold Rat, it only likes to live on planets with Black Gold Ore, and the closest planet with abundant Black Gold Ore to Lanyue Star is Bee Head Star."
Bee Head Star, as the name suggests, the first human to discover this planet found a large number of Black Thorn Bees here. As a social star beast, Black Thorn Bees have a very strong sense of territorial awareness. Once a foreign species enters their range, they will be under mass attack. The first human who discovered this planet almost lost his life. Fortunately, he didn’t actually set foot on the planet. Once he noticed something unusual, he left immediately.
Apart from Black Thorn Bees, this planet also has other kinds of star beasts, one of which is the Black Gold Rat. They live in underground caves, feeding on Black Gold Ore and mostly having no conflicts with Black Thorn Bees. Therefore, they manage to coexist peacefully with them.
...
The Black Gold Ore has numerous uses. The power systems of mechas, battleships, spaceships... all require Black Gold refined from the ore. Of course, the alliance wouldn’t let go of such a treasure trove. As a result, the alliance launched a series of actions and dispatched a group of high-level combat forces led by General Chu Zhan, who was the commander of the First Legion at the time. They killed a peak level 10 Black Thorn Bee Queen that had occupied Bee Head Star for many years and exterminated most of the Black Thorn Bee swarm. Only a few managed to escape or survive. After successfully expelling the Black Thorn Bee swarm, the alliance immediately stationed warriors there and sent mining robots to collect Black Gold Ore.
However, this was a hundred years ago.
After centuries of mining, the Black Gold Ore resources on Bee Head Star have been exhausted. A large number of excavation companies have withdrawn from Bee Head Star, leaving behind only a few people to guard it. As humans gradually left, the Black Thorn Bee swarm, which had been under control on Bee Head Star, somehow began to reproduce in large numbers again. It’s heard that the Bee Queen in this swarm has already evolved to level 4.
