Chapter 155: The Danger of Exposed Coordinates (Part 2)
Could it be that someone forgot to turn off the lights after nightfall, and then got detected?
A sixth-level civilization can use super fusion missiles, but it's hard to know what level the civilization that launched this missile is.
Zhou Yingting looked down and continued to conceal his tracks until the smoke vehicles completely covered the entire factory area, then he resumed the production and construction of each factory.
As the lights continued to turn on, the lights couldn't penetrate the dense fog.
Confirming that the smoke vehicle was effective, Zhou Yingting felt relieved.
However, right after that, a glint of light caught the corner of Zhou Yingting's eye again.
Several missiles, even faster than the super fusion missiles just now, streaked straight across the night sky towards the location where the missile was just launched.
Zhou Yingting was stunned for a moment, then subtly twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Truly spectacular. Did other advanced civilizations see the super fusion missile, calculate the opponent's flight trajectory, and then lock onto the launch point to attempt to destroy it?"
A rough count showed three missiles headed to that location, and judging by the directions they were coming from, the intervals between their flights were quite far.
Missile flight paths like this one can't be fully determined; even a slight deviation might target other exposed coordinates for bombardment instead.
"Absolutely can't reveal my own coordinates; otherwise, I'll be swarmed by countless cleansing missiles."
"Also, my industrial park here has its pros and cons."
"The benefit is that the industrial park takes up little space, making it easier to conceal. The downside is that if one super fusion missile hits, or even just a nuclear bomb, the entire base would be destroyed."
"Got to quickly raise my civilization level."
Watching the fireworks in the night sky brightening up a large area of the ground, Zhou Yingting wasted no time and continued producing various all-in-one exploration and extraction vehicles to mine resources.
As of now, resource extraction is the most crucial task.
As long as there are enough resources, technology can be lit up, although leveling up requires some time.
.....
"Heh, I actually found a uranium mine here, and it's so rich, I struck gold!"
Liu Yu, looking at the resources detected by the exploration vehicle, was full of joy in his eyes.
The location he was in was very good; right when he started building, he found the nearby resources were exactly what he urgently needed.
With these resources, he directly upgraded a branch of the technology tree to Level 5!
With the support from this part of the Level 5 technology branch, it would be much easier for him to light up other technology branches.
Especially since, under this technology branch, he could directly build nuclear power plants, then develop nuclear weapons, followed by unlocking H-bombs.
Further down, he could even develop super fusion missiles.
This way, he would also possess the power to attack others from ultra-long distances.
As he gazed at the detected uranium, filled with joy and thinking he could soon build a nuclear power plant to achieve electrical freedom,
In the next moment, he heard an extremely sharp explosive sound.
The corner of his eye caught a fleeting scene in the distance, as if something had suddenly fallen from the night sky.
In an instant, an incredibly bright light burst in front of him.
Then, a gigantic mushroom cloud began to slowly rise.
Next, Liu Yu only felt an immense shockwave hit him, starting to disintegrate his whole being bit by bit.
In that final moment, it seemed like he saw more super fusion missiles flying towards him in the distance.
"Damn, why is everything targeting me?"
Liu Yu's heart surged with anger and after a furious curse, he was eliminated and sent to the spectator seat.
The life quota on the panel deducted 10 points at that moment, making him feel like his heart was bleeding.
Even though it felt like he hadn't done anything, why did he get bombarded with missiles?
The more he thought about it, the more helpless he felt, and his eye caught sight of others on the spectator seat.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a bit entertained—was there someone who got eliminated even faster than him?
Was this guy even more unlucky than him?
Thinking this, Liu Yu's previously gloomy mood improved significantly, and he quickly went over to the other person, wanting to ask how he got eliminated.
"Hey man, how'd you get eliminated?"
Liu Yu approached the other person and greeted him.
Since he was already eliminated, he might as well calm himself down a bit.
He heard that when they leave, they could select an entry, although it's not as rewarding as being in the top ten, picking an entry isn't bad either.
If it refreshes into a good entry, that would be considered having extraordinary power.
To him, that's something eagerly anticipated.
"I, I don't know either. When I just entered the instance, it was night. After developing for a while, I saw a sudden light, and then I was eliminated."
The man sitting next to him heard this and hesitated a bit, then shook his head helplessly and sighed.
He really didn't know how he was eliminated. When he was developing, he didn't do anything else. He just built part of the factory and then got eliminated.
About his coordinates being exposed, that seemed unlikely too, right? He didn't do anything, so how could his coordinates be exposed?
Liu Yu heard this and paused, his face subtly stiffening.
According to what the other person said, he felt almost the same—entering at night and then getting eliminated.
That in itself seemed quite strange.
Thinking this over, he still didn't fully understand why he would get eliminated.
Thinking about this, he followed the other person's gaze.
On the way over, he noticed the other person seemed to be watching something.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at this planet. I wouldn't have known how gigantic this planet was if I hadn't been eliminated."
The eliminated man responded casually upon hearing, gazing at a towering object with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Liu Yu followed his gaze and initially didn't care much about the other person's words.
But when he saw the planet the other person referred to—an enormous object that appeared before him—he couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.
From this spectator seat, they could see a gigantic planet just hovering there in space.
On this utterly massive planet, small points of light would occasionally rise and then fly off into the distance.
But more shocking was the enormous star hanging not far away.
"What do you think, how large is this planet?"
Liu Yu asked the man in front of him again, his eyes full of awe.
Was this the instance they were just in? Was the planet this massive?
"No idea, but it's definitely endless in size."
The man next to him shook his head upon hearing, then glanced around again.
Liu Yu noticed something odd, "What are you looking at? It doesn't seem like there's anyone else around."
"I'm wondering what kind of person could possibly use such a large planet as an instance venue."
Said the man next to him, his eyes filled with contemplation.
Liu Yu paused upon hearing this, pondering over it—perhaps he was right.
He also couldn't quite gauge how immense the planet was, but he estimated it could be tens of thousands of times larger than Earth.
Moreover, the Level 10 civilization technology base itself looked quite unusual.
If this thing were brought back to Earth, wouldn't it make Earth's civilization the top civilization in an instant?
Who knows how far it'd develop from there.
