After hearing Maya, she thought about Alice's explosive plan and couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.
The Star Alliance Military was preparing to mine resources, and the Academy Fortress had sent the three of them to conduct a survey. If they used Alice's method, they might blow up a potential underground mine before even assessing the mineral content and the situation with the Alien Species.
Some high-concentration special Energy Mines could be destroyed in the explosion.
Maya did not directly refute Alice's plan as being unfeasible; after all, this was her student's first time proposing a mission strategy, which was immature yet reasonable.
Rek listened to Alice's words and thought that this really was Alice's style—if there was a disagreement, just drop a bomb. However, the suggestion to deploy explosives did sound quite feasible.
“Rek, what do you think about the assessment of this Metal Mine and our approach for this mission?” Maya asked Rek.
Rek glanced at Alice beside him and then spoke seriously: “Since we have already discovered this metal vein and the Pangolin Probe we sent has been destroyed, it indicates that not all of the Alien Species inside are dormant.
If we leave it unchecked, these Alien Species will eventually emerge, putting us in a passive position.
I agree with Alice's plan to deploy explosives first, but I have some additional points.
The power of the explosives must be strong; the greater the explosive force, the better.
Even if the cave contains special energy ores that can be mined, it is better to destroy them and reduce their refining effectiveness than to risk our lives during the mission.
Secondly, once the bomb detonates, the Metal Ore Cap is likely to be blown open or destroyed. At that point, there may be surviving Alien Species that could escape.
I suggest that during our exploration mission, we have the main cannon and missile system of the Super Soldier Academy Fortress lock onto the area of the underground mine.
If any Alien Species appear that we cannot handle, the Academy Fortress can provide fire support.
As for entering the underground mine after deploying explosives, I recommend that we do not rush in.
We should keep our distance and operate some mechanical surveying instruments. For example, we can use the Pangolin Probe you mentioned earlier to enter and capture necessary images before handing them over to the Academy Fortress. This way, we can successfully complete our survey mission.
Master Muya, you also said that we are conducting a survey mission, not engaging in combat with Alien Species.” Rek expressed his thoughts.
After Rek finished speaking, he looked at Alice, who had secretly raised her thumb in approval.
Inside the classroom, Maya listened to the two students' proposals and felt a wave of frustration. The academy had sent them to carry out an exploration mission primarily to assess the metal content of the mine, and as for the existing Alien Species, they were to be eliminated.
However, these two students immediately suggested blowing up the Underground Vein, completely disregarding its content and value.
When Maya accepted this mission, she had some personal motives as well. She hoped that if they discovered a large amount of high-concentration energy ore in this Underground Vein, it would be a significant achievement.
At that time, this accomplishment would be noted in Rek and Alice's files, and when they graduated from the Super Soldier Academy four years later, this achievement could allow them to avoid ten years of hard work.
Maya felt her facial muscles tense as she thought about how to phrase her words to make the two students understand the error in their plan to blow up the mine.
Before Maya could speak, Rek and Alice stood up from their seats and walked to the virtual 3D model in the center of the classroom. They began discussing where to place the bombs for maximum effect and which models would have greater power.
"You two, sit back down!" Maya snapped at the two troublesome students. She hadn't even announced that their ridiculous mission proposal was feasible, yet they were already discussing how to implement their demolition plan.
Rek and Maya sat back down, looking at Master Muya.
"The bomb deployment plan you mentioned may seem safe and could eliminate potential hazards. But don't forget that exploring and acquiring the Special Energy Crystal Mine is a top priority for the Star Alliance Military in Dark Space," Master Muya said sternly.
"But we can't risk our lives!" Rek retorted directly.
"Exactly! I think using bombs is still the best option; with one loud bang, all potential dangers would be resolved. Down with dictatorship!" Alice chimed in.
Hearing this, Maya was infuriated and spoke to the two students in a particularly stern tone: "Do you know the motto of the Super Soldier Academy? It is Fearlessness and Struggle. You joined the military not to run away from potential dangers."
"Forget about blowing up the mine. Even if I agreed, the command center of the Super Soldier Academy Fortress would not approve such an explosive plan without solid evidence proving that there are irresistible Alien Species beneath the mine."
"Do you know how scarce resources are on Main World Earth right now? If this mine truly contains a large amount of energy ore, extracting it and bringing it back to the Main World could help thousands of families survive and save tens of thousands of civilians in the Star Alliance."
Upon hearing Maya's words, Alice made a face and stuck out her tongue but said nothing further.
Rek knew that if what Maya said was true and they didn't need bombs, then their seemingly easy reconnaissance mission would be extremely dangerous.
Rek also understood that refusing to carry out this mission was not an option, and the bomb plan wouldn't pass either.
Thinking to himself, since he was already cursed with a death sentence, in seventy-one days the curse would erupt. This mission could be dangerous; so what? A person who is about to die has nothing to fear.
Rek spoke up, "Alright, we'll do it your way, Master Muya, without bombs. But I suggest we prepare some groundwork for this mission by planting a few bombs around the area and having the Academy Fortress's main cannon and missile launchers lock onto this zone."
"Yes, I will submit this request to the Academy Fortress's Operations Command Center.
Now let me explain the specific action plan for our reconnaissance mission tomorrow!
At that time, we will drive a Drilling Machine to open a gap in the massive ore exposed in the Sand. After that, the two of us will take the Temporary Elevator down to explore beneath the ore vein.
One person will stay above to guard the Elevator and provide support.
The main objective of this mission is to detect the mineral content within the ore vein and assess how many Alien Species are present.
Don't worry too much; with our strength, even if we encounter most of the Alien Horde, we can retreat in time if we can't fight them off.
So, who among you two is ready to join me for the exploration tomorrow?" Maya asked Rek and Alice.
