In the present, the various components on the Cang Qiong, except for the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator and the Sky Eye Patrol Radar, which had already been enhanced to the limit,

still required a Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, like the [Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine], [Brainwave Remote Control System], [Particle Beam Cannon], and the like.

Just a rough calculation made Song Chi realize the deficit he faced regarding the Second-Rank Floating Land Origin had reached a frightening degree.

This further solidified his resolve to explore that Second-Level Starry Sea Floating Land.

For the next ten-plus hours, he didn't practice the Guidance Technique, nor did he train with the Mythical Mech Projection Imprint Blueprint, but instead took a good sleep in the Ruins Market.

Because of his limit-breaking state, his spirit was utterly exhausted, and without recovery, he feared it would affect his subsequent actions.

As time flowed, within the solitary starry sky, the Cang Qiong initiated its second warp.

Starshine First Star Region, Starry Sea Floating Land number 001.

As the largest neutral faction of the Starshine Civilization, the Dove Party of Life commanded this largest Starry Sea Floating Land of the civilization.

However, as a cost of neutrality, the result was that the military strength under the Dove Party of Life was very limited, having only a fully staffed Floating Land Guard Corps. They could only defend themselves, as an external expansion was out of the question.

Of course, whether they were the Free Faction or the Restriction Faction, unless absolutely necessary, none would bring war to this most flourishing Floating Land of civilization.

As the most industrially developed and most populous Floating Land of the Starshine Civilization, the 001 Starry Sea Floating Land possessed nearly half of the entire civilization's industry, with a population exceeding 3 billion.

The starships constructed and assembled daily on the Floating Land would be immediately sent to the respective star domains of the Free Faction and Restriction Faction.

Looking down from the starry sky, it wasn't hard to see that this Starry Sea Floating Land was dozens of times larger than the White Tower Floating Land; unlike the vegetation-rich White Tower Floating Land, this Starshine 001 Starry Sea Floating Land was engulfed in smoke, with large factories rising everywhere on the Floating Land that released emissions day and night, shrouding the sky above this rare Second-Level Floating Land in smog.

In the pitch-black starry space not far from the Floating Land, Song Chi's eyes betrayed a hint of confirmation as he looked at the Starry Sea Floating Land that had no guards whatsoever.

The news of the attack suffered by Floating Land number 004 had not yet reached this faraway Floating Land, 40 light-years away.

Real-time star intercommunication, even within the Torch Human Civilization Territory, came with significant limitations, almost impossible for ordinary people. How could a Low-Rank Second-Level technological civilization possess such technology?

This suited Song Chi just fine, as the fewer defenses the life forms on the Floating Land had, the easier his subsequent actions would be.

His gaze shifted rapidly as Song Chi began to quickly capture all sorts of information about this Second-Level Starry Sea Floating Land.

Soon, he had a general understanding of the situation on this Floating Land.

More than 3 billion creatures of Starshine Civilization currently resided on this Floating Land, primarily concentrated in the major cities.

After multiple screenings, Song Chi selected 12 target cities, including seven with populations over 50 million, three with populations over 100 million, one with over 300 million, and one with over 500 million.

These 12 cities encompassed more than half of the entire Floating Land's population and were the essence of this Second-Rank Floating Land.

If there were indeed any treasures on this Floating Land, it was highly likely they would be hidden in these 12 cities.

The first target for Song Chi was the giant city with a population over 500 million.

As the capital city of this Second-Rank Floating Land, it undoubtedly contained the most resources. Once the Cang Qiong made its move, it would surely alert the entire Floating Land. To prevent these alien races from being prepared in advance and hiding their most valuable resources, Song Chi naturally chose the capital city, which held the wealth of the Floating Land, as the starting point.

City center, Administrative Building.

The Cang Qiong, hurtling down from the horizon, was aimed directly at the tallest administrative center of the city.

Whoosh!

Under the deluge of the Particle Beam Cannon and the Shipborne Secondary Cannons, the guards around the Administrative Building were wiped out, and then the bay doors of the Cang Qiong opened, and eleven fully armed figures leapt down, rushing into the Administrative Building with utmost speed.

As the capital city of a Second-Rank Floating Land and one of the highest-security administrative centers in the city, the number of armed aliens in this building exceeded expectations. The Fire Peony Soldier Figurines that had stormed inside were literally stopped in their tracks by intense gunfire.

Under this frightening barrage, even the High-Level Titanium Alloy Battle Shields began to deform—a sign they were unable to bear the continuous bombardment.

Upon seeing this, the strand of Song Chi's brainwave attached to one of the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines immediately issued a command to deploy Energy Grenades.

As the universal combat grenades of the Chenxing Principality military, their power was unquestionable. Coupled with the simultaneous explosion of eleven grenades, the gunfire inside the building halted for several seconds as expected.

Seizing the moment, Song Chi was the first to control the Fire Peony Soldier Figurine that was marked with the Brainwave Beacon, quickly rushing forward. Behind this figurine, the other nine followed closely.

In this way, the eleven figures successfully broke through the web of fire and charged into the defense lines formed by the administrative guards.

Top floor of the Administrative Building, after more than twenty minutes of advancement, the ten Fire Peony Soldier Figurines finally reached this point. During this time, the military combat robot fell under the alien race's gunfire of Starshine; it was, after all, only First Rank, still quite a ways behind the Second-Rank Fire Peony Soldier Figurines.
