Chapter 42: Magnetic core

Min Joo entered the atmosphere of planet Dra, but as he descended he felt like he was falling instead of flying like he always does, he tried to stop but couldn't.

It's like wearing an armored suit and flying with it and all of a sudden its power shutdown and kept falling to the ground.

If you were to look at the sky from the ground, you wouldn't see a man falling instead you'll see a falling asteroid with fire all over it.

As he fell downwards he crashed into a mountain and sent a shockwave throughout the planet Dra, climbing out from the hole made by the crash, he stood naked and only noticed a few minutes later.

'The hell was that just now?' Min Joo thought for a moment and waved his hand to make himself some clothes, but nothing happened afterwards.

He didn't give up and tried to concentrate harder on using his power, he failed again and again till he finally made a new pair of clothes at 40th tries, he couldn't bear it anymore and contacted Lia.

"Lia…" he told her about what happened and asked her to look at the data of the new energy transfusion.

After hours of waiting and walking down the mountain, Lia Finally answered.

「Sir your capacity for the energy needed has increased by 500%, and since you only have a little bit of that energy, you'll need more of it to become complete.」

"So is there any source for the energy needed?"

「Yes, but i managed to find out not only will it increase the amount of energy you have, it will also help us advance our technology faster.」

"So? What is it?"

「a magnetic core, exoplanets have a strong magnetic field and their core is very special, sucking it dry will give us everything we need and i have already created a blueprint for the new ship that will do that for us, but our mothership structure will need to change slightly」

"Get on it right away and sent an empty ship down here, and also once you are done with that make sure to start with the moon beside you"

Like that he hung up and saw a small ship entering the atmosphere and landing beside him, he took over it and turned on cloak mode.

The ship swam through the clouds quietly and smoothly, till it landed on a clearing field filled with blue flowers, Min Joo lied on the ground and looked at the clear blue sky taking in a long breath of nature and then letting the breath out, completely relaxed and fell asleep right there.

The ship had an android inside it patrolling the vicinity when Min Joo fell asleep.

In his dream he was a small boy playing with a little girl, the girl's face is hidden by a blur, strange it's like when you see someone you never met in your dream but get the feeling you've met them.

As they played, an ethereal voice sounded throughout their world telling them to come in, and so they did and the dream turned dark.

Waking up, he found the flowers dead and the ship a little rusty and lush life around it.

"Don't tell me i overslept…" Min Joo frowned, he came to Dra not to take a long nap but to explore a bit, but things have gone a little out of their way.

He entered the ship and turned the light on, pulled out the communicator and contacted Lia.

「Welcome back sir」

"How are things going and how long have I been out?"

「we finished the Moon's core mining a hundred years ago, and it has been 109 years, 1 months, 4 days and thirty-two minutes since your landing on the planet Dra」

"Ok then, assemble everyone and get ready to start Planet Dra's core mining"

「At once」

Once the call ended, Min Joo took off after commending a few androids to fix the ship.

As he left Dra's surface he looked at the mother ship that changed so much that no longer looked the same, it's now circle in shape and its size is huge and it would be impossible to land it on a small planet, green and blue lights coming out of it, the ships that used to travel with it are now circle in shape too, and also the small once shape has changed, Min Joo's rusty ship entered the mothership and went back to the lab where he found Lia making the the injection chamber ready for use.

「This time it will only take about few minutes for the injection to end」

"Good now start" Min Joo entered the chamber and a cyan glowing liquid started injecting itself into Min joo's body, his veins started glowing with a cyan color too and it continued doing so until the transfusion process ended.

At the holographic screen a percentage number appeared "180%".

"A long way to go, now let's start Dra's turn" Min Joo said and left to his commending Seat which is located now in the center of the mothership, only one seat stood there in the dark with holographic blue screens standing in the air.

He swiped through the screen and viewed Dra's Moon current state, it was no longer a blue planet instead it looked now more like the old Mars from the solar planet, scorching hot desert planet no longer able to support life on the surface.

He felt the mothership move and pressed on the screen and it showed outside visual, the mothership itself moving towards Dra and stopped above the planet leaving a shadow on the planet's surface, and below the ship a hole opened and a red mining laser came out and drilled into the surface of the planet, on the side of the holographic screen the progress of drilling showed it self.

As the laser cut through the layer of the planet like it was butter, but still the process took a few days, until the laser reached the core and stopped drilling, the laser disappeared and a blue smooth light came out from the hole and shot itself into the drilling hole on the surface of the planet, making all the insides of core flowing out and getting inside the mother ship once the process was done another different laser shot out and started sucking out the energy left out inside the planet's core, it took only five hours and the process was done.

The mothership took off from the star system leaving a dead planet behind, it entered hyperdrive along with every ship following it.

Min Joo asked Lia when the injection will be ready and she answered that it will be sent to him this time once it's ready.

Satisfied with the work, he then pulled a screen and started on building a blueprint of what seems to be a gate of some kind.
