Chapter 341 The Miserable Beginning

The standard Imperial language sounded in the holographic screen. If it weren't for the war, all the corrupted people had learned the Imperial language, and he wouldn't have known it.

Being sent to this unknown remote star system, Runas, walking in the dim corridor, had an ominous premonition in his heart.

At this time, a team of hundreds of imperial people in dirty miners' uniforms came towards them.

Each of these imperial people carried a piece of luggage, and passed by them with a happy smile on their cheeks.

This made Runas and others breathe a sigh of relief and continue to move forward.

Tens of minutes later, Runas and others were escorted to a huge circular hall.

As an alarm sounded, there was a sound of exhaust from the bottom of the hall, as if something entered the space station through the airlock.

"Everyone retreat outside the yellow line!" The imperial soldiers shouted loudly, waving electric whips.

Many corrupted captives retreated obediently until they were far away from the yellow warning line.

After a slight vibration, a cylindrical elevator rose from the ground of the hall. The entire elevator had a diameter of fifty meters and a height of ten meters.

With a sound of mechanical operation, the elevator door opened to both sides, revealing a thick elevator door and a layer of black sealing strips.

"Take your respirators and get in quickly." The imperial soldier pointed to the rows of respirators on the wall not far away.

The corrupted captives lined up to get their respirators and stood in the elevator.

After the imperial soldier took a look at the corrupted, he reached out and pulled down the lever on the control console next to him.

The heavy alloy door of the elevator was tightly locked together, and the elevator entered darkness. Everyone could only hear the breathing around them.

After a while, several alcohol lamps sealed in the wall began to appear on the elevator wall, and the ventilation holes in the elevator began to slowly spray out oxygen.

With a click, the metal buckle that fixed the elevator opened outward, and the elevator fell to the ground of the purple planet with a harsh metal friction sound.

As the elevator descended at high speed, the four thin cables on the top of the elevator that were wrapped around the more than ten-meter-thick metal cable in the middle gradually tightened, and the elevator's descent slowed down.

As the winch in the space station slowly released the metal cable, the elevator slowly slid down the thickest metal cable into the purple cloud layer.

Gusts of wind blew, causing the elevator to shake slightly, but because the steel cable in the middle was straight, the shaking was not obvious.

However, the hail mixed in the wind hit the outer shell of the elevator and made a series of knocking sounds, which made Runas and others who could not see the outside scene panic.

However, soon, the impact sound disappeared, and the elevator stabilized.

Tens of minutes later, a heavy landing sounded, and the elevator stopped steadily on the ground.

The elevator door opened to both sides under the force of the staff outside.

"Welcome to hell, newcomers!" Several corrupters who were also wearing tights stood at the elevator door.

"Our job is to go to the nearby mining area, sort out the minerals and send them back to the space station, and the space station will return us with survival supplies."

"The more ores you hand in, the more survival supplies you will receive. Sometimes there will be rewards of cigarettes and alcohol. Start your new life!" The Corruptors who came to greet them took out the survival supplies in the elevator and walked towards the distant settlement without looking back.

This purple planet was discovered by the Empire's deep space exploration ship. After launching a drone towards this planet, it was found that the drone lost its signal after entering the clouds of this planet.

This attracted the Empire's great attention. It should be known that the various radiation shielding capabilities of the detection drones are specially enhanced. If they can make them lose their signals, it is generally not a particularly special geographical environment or there are alien relics.

Later, the Empire sent several scientific research exploration ships here, but they found that they could not understand what kind of world was hidden under the thick clouds of this planet anyway.

In the end, there was no choice but to use a steel cable to hang an escape capsule into the clouds of this planet.

According to the description of the volunteers, under the clouds of this planet is a purple world, and huge purple crystals stand on the ground, emitting purple light.

There are also countless purple crystal particles floating in the clouds of this planet. These crystal particles rub against each other to release a lot of energy and form a special magnetic field.

This is why the outer layer of this planet is covered with a thick layer of purple glowing clouds, and the reason why the drone lost contact is that the electronic equipment was destroyed by this special magnetic field.

This magnetic field will destroy all electronic equipment that landed on this planet. After trying hundreds of different anti-electromagnetic technologies, the Empire had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​allowing electronic equipment to enter this planet.

The characteristics of being unable to use electronic equipment and never seeing the sun are the reasons why it is called starless.

The Empire originally planned to use this planet as a scientific research planet to study the special environment here. Who would have thought that from these crystal minerals, the Empire discovered a new substance that can be used as an important manufacturing material for the Empire's next generation of beam weapons after artificial synthesis.

There was no other choice. In order to develop the mineral resources on this planet, the Empire could only build a preliminary mining base on this planet by lowering an elevator with a rope.

Without the use of electronic equipment, only manpower can be used to mine this precious mineral resource.

The Empire had no choice but to draw a large number of laborers from subordinate races and the Empire's serious criminals to mine on this planet.

The high salary also attracted many young people from the Empire to come here to serve as leaders of the miners.

However, the power of manpower is limited after all. The inefficiency of mining is so low that Li Mingze cannot bear it. This low speed seriously affects the popularization of the Empire's new beam weapons.

But now it is different. The Corruptors who have undergone strength and endurance gene modification have become the best candidates for miners.

Having huge power without machinery is perfect for this planet where electronic equipment cannot be used.

Since the arrival of the first batch of Corruptor captives, the Imperial miners on this planet have gradually evacuated from the starless planet.

The team that Runas met on the pier was the last batch of Imperial miners to evacuate from the starless planet. Now the miners on the entire planet have been replaced by captives of the Corruptor civilization, and only a few Imperial soldiers remain as managers of these Corruptors.

Once these corrupted beings are dropped onto this planet, they can never leave. The only way to enter and exit the planet is through three hundred and twenty space elevators driven by a winch on the top.
