Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 915: Intelligence on Artesia’s Monster Planet!

After He Ming smiled and politely declined the invitations of several ministers of the Axs Empire, he left the banquet alone and walked to a secluded balcony.

Artesia, who had just returned from the monster planet after not seeing each other for a long time, stayed there with a drink in her hand, looking up at the two moons in the sky that were revolving around the mother planet Ax.

The moonlight shines on her long hair like a golden waterfall, emitting a crystal and mysterious glow. Her face is like a finely carved work of art, with soft lines outlining a perfect outline. Now she has experienced many things and has grown into a more outstanding woman than her mother after seeing the vastness and changes of the universe.

"Thank you for your hard work, Artesia."

He Ming's footsteps woke up Artesia, who was gazing at the big and small moons in the night sky in a trance.

The moment her gaze moved and fell on He Ming, there was a gleam of surprise in Artesia's eyes.

"No, sir. This is what I should do."

Artesia lowered her head slightly, then raised it again and looked at He Ming.

However, her eyes were as gentle as water, and seemed to contain all kinds of charm.

"I heard everything. You weren't supposed to go to the Monster Planet, but you still volunteered to go with Nina and the others."

He Ming stepped forward, picked up his glass and gently clinked it with Artesia's glass, then raised it in front of Artesia.

"It may be a bit cunning, but I toast to your bravery in heading to the monster planet."

After He Ming finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank up the wine in it. He did it so fast that Artesia had no time to dissuade him.

Artesia lowered her head, looked at the wine in her glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

In the blink of an eye, two red clouds appeared on Artesia's white and crystal face.

Artesia exhaled slowly, placed the empty cup on the small table next to her, and spoke slowly.

"Actually, there's nothing brave about this. I just think that when the adults are not around, we should do more and make more preparations so that when something unexpected happens on that monster planet, we can face it calmly."

"Yes. The ecological environment on the monster planet is not suitable for us to survive. Every time you drive your machine out for reconnaissance, you are taking a huge risk."

Artesia glanced at He Ming secretly and found that He Ming's expression was extremely serious, and there was even some blame in his eyes.

"Every time I go out, I will make all the preparations as much as possible and report to Miss Hinata. So, I have been safe all the way."

After a pause, Artesia clapped her hands and asked.

"Adino, are you there?"

Upon hearing this, the smart AI cube Arduino responded immediately.

"I'm here. Go ahead! Artesia."

"Adino, I'm sending you a document now. It's a priority document. Please show it to the master."

Without waiting for He Ming to speak, Artesia quickly operated on the smart watch, and Arduino immediately reported that a document had been received.

He Ming frowned, but still let Arduino open the document.

The next second, He Ming sighed helplessly.

"Aldesia. Next time, at least ask Hinata to arrange for someone to accompany you."

"Yes! Sir. Thank you very much for your support!"

Hearing that He Ming would not pursue the matter any further, Artesia's face suddenly blossomed with smiles, and she was extremely beautiful for a moment.

He Ming shook his head, pulled over two chairs, and waved for Artesia to come over and sit down.

Artesia took light steps and sat down next to He Ming. The moment the charming fragrance came with the night breeze. However, He Ming's attention was now on the document.

"Aldesia, have you collected and analyzed the things in this photo?"

In the photo, He Ming first saw the densely distributed plants of various sizes, which were brown and black in appearance and scattered around. In the center of these plants, or at the bottom of the plants, a steel structure with obvious traces of man-made objects was lying quietly among these brown and black plants, allowing them to wrap them.

Artesia raised her hand slightly, tucked her scattered hair behind her ear, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Yes. The moment we found this machine, we cleared the surrounding plants and tried our best to show the outline of the machine. Sir, please look at the photo at the back."

Under Artesia's guidance, He Ming turned to the photos at the back.

Sure enough, this man-made object wrapped in dark brown plants like stars in the sky can indeed be called a mecha.

However, judging from the outline, the remains only consisted of the chest and part of the left arm.

Apart from this, there are no other parts.

"Sir. Although only the chest part of this machine remains, according to our measurements, the wreckage is at least 70 to 80 meters long when intact. What's even more surprising is that the machine composed of this wreckage does not seem to be the nuclear reactor we are familiar with, but more like an energy structure driven by fossil fuels."

"Oh? Such a huge machine is not powered by a nuclear reactor, but by fossil fuels?"

He Ming raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Hmm. What's even stranger is that after we found this wreckage, we also found some similar wreckage nearby, but we still couldn't find the person who drove them."

Artesia frowned, stretched out her finger and swiped it on the screen projected by Arduino, and finally froze the picture on the wreckage of a ship that was suspected to be a spaceship.

"After our repeated searches on the monster planet, we finally found the wreckage of what is believed to be a spaceship on the coastline east of Continent No. 1. We found some relics on it."

Artesia swiped the screen again, presenting the photos of the relics at the back to He Ming.

The next second, He Ming's expression suddenly became solemn.

Because these relics include torn photos, fragmented diaries, and a damaged rifle.

Although the photos and diaries were damaged and fragmentary, the faces in the photos and the words recorded in the diaries were all human faces and words familiar to He Ming and Artesia.

"Aldesia, are you sure there are really humans on the monster planet?"

Artesia shook her head.

"I don't know. So, this time when I come back, I hope you can promise me one thing."

Hearing this, He Ming turned around and looked at Artesia.

"It seems that our Artesia has found her own mission. Well, I will have King Kong send a sea fog fleet to assist your operation."

"Yes! Thank you very much, sir!"

He Ming shook his head.

"That's not necessary. In fact, I also want to know if there are really humans on the monster planet."

After all, he could vaguely see some familiar outlines in the wreckage in the photos.

Named——the red silhouette of the storm.

It's a pity that he couldn't go to the Monster Planet to explore in person, and could only let Artesia carry out the preliminary exploration. After he dealt with the matter of the Silent Star, he would deal with the matter of the Monster Planet again.
