Chapter 1390: Chapter 548: Special Device_2 Chapter 1390: Chapter 548: Special Device_2 After a long while, Yan Fei let out a sigh and took out his mobile phone to send Lu Pingping a message: “I'm back.”

Lu Pingping, who was standing next to the window, glanced at the text on her phone and immediately showed delight on her face, replying hastily: “Did everything go smoothly? Are you hurt?”

Yan Fei said: “Everything went smoothly, I am not injured.”

Lu Pingping replied: “That's good!”

Yan Fei said: “What about you? Have you encountered any difficulties on Dream Island?”

Lu Pingping said: “I'm fine too, everything on Dream Island is going smoothly.”

Then both of them had nothing more to say, but Yan Fei could see the complex expression on Lu Pingping's face. It was clear that she wanted to go out and look for Yan Fei, but in the end she did not leave. Instead, she sighed, drew the curtains, and went back inside the room.

The next day, Yan Fei did not appear in public, but quietly went to the deep underground of Dream Island, ready to begin an unprecedented task.

This meeting with the hidden mastermind made Yan Fei sense danger, which was the fact that there was not much time left for Earth and humanity–mankind had to move towards the cosmic starry sky in the shortest time possible. Although the hidden mastermind did not explicitly state it, Yan Fei was positive that Earth would face a calamity in the near future. This disaster could likely come from within Earth, but there is an even greater chance it would come from the cosmic starry sky. Regardless of the origin of this disaster, it posed a huge threat to Earth and humanity.

But according to the hidden mastermind, as long as Yan Fei is willing to strive hard, Earth and humanity can survive this crisis. Therefore, after returning to Dream Island, Yan Fei had been pondering what capabilities he possessed that could help Earth avoid this crisis.

Although Dream Island's technological level is rapidly improving, this level of technological advancement is insignificant when facing the threat of stronger forces, especially after the threat comes from the cosmic starry sky. Dream Island's technological level is simply not enough to save Earth and humanity from the upcoming crisis.

Yan Fei began to think deeply–if even Yang Qi's laboratory couldn't help solve Earth's crisis, then could the key to solving the problem be the Drone Avatar? However, because it was very likely that the hidden mastermind did not know about the existence of the Drone Avatar, it probably wouldn't be the Drone Avatar. So after much consideration, Yan Fei finally brought his focus back and placed it on Dream Island itself.

Although Dream Island had been developed for several years, Yan Fei in fact did not understand it very well. Dream Island and Tokyo in Japan are basically in the same dimension. Tokyo has strict seasonal divisions, yet on Dream Island, it's always in a state of spring's warmth. The other three seasons–summer, autumn, winter–are present, but not distinct. The plant growth on Dream Island is exceptionally fast, and once plants grow here, they quickly enhance to a higher level, becoming perfect organisms at a genetic level.

Moreover, Dream Island has attracted a large number of seabirds and other animals to procreate here–some passing migratory birds even canceled their migration and chose to settle here. In addition to this, people living on Dream Island seemed to be particularly healthy and were seldom sick.

Everything on Dream Island is completely different from other places, truly amazing. But Yang Qi had already analyzed this before–he believed that there is a special device underground on Dream Island, one that can transform dark energy into Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi beneficial to living organisms. Everything on Dream Island, including the White Mist above and the Underground Rocks, as well as the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi that benefits plants, animals, and human bodies, are the results of this special device's influence.

Yan Fei had previously used drones to enter deep underground, attempting to find the special device that Yang Qi asserted existed. However, when he reached a depth of 3000 meters underground, he found not only an increase in pressure but also an unbelievable level of hardness in the rocks. Even though he reached this place, Yan Fei had not found anything unusual underground, let alone the special device.

After shifting his attention back to Dream Island, Yan Fei suddenly realized that for all these years, he had overlooked Dream Island itself. It was very likely that this special device was the hope for saving Earth and humanity, not something else. It was this realization that led Yan Fei to set aside all his other work and return underground, determined to head deep underground to find that special device and discover its true purpose.

Yan Fei sat in the Drone Cockpit, the Drone having switched to underground burrowing mode, returning from the surface to a depth of 3000 meters underground. At this depth, the hardness of the Underground Rocks greatly increased, and it became highly inefficient to use the Drone's shockwave for digging. Therefore, Yan Fei utilized the Drone's Subterranean Capability. With the rotation of the Drill Bit on the head and the push of two tracks underneath the machine's belly, the Drone burrowed almost vertically downwards.

However, due to the extreme hardness of the rocks here, even though the Drill Bit in front of the Drone was very sharp, its burrowing speed had slowed down to a crawl. It took an upwards of 10 minutes to advance a mere one meter, and the Energy Points consumed per meter reached 10,000 points.

After the Drone's daily data refresh, all the available Energy Points totaled only 10 million points. Even if the Drone did nothing else all day and used all Energy Points for burrowing, it could only advance 1000 meters in a day. However, as the depth increases, the hardness of the rocks escalates, and the Energy Points consumption for burrowing rapidly rises. Therefore, overall, the Drone's daily Energy Points are simply insufficient for the Drone to travel long distances underground.
