Chapter 15 Returning The drone operator immediately controlled the military drone and began to fly deep into the underground cave.
The light inside the cave was dim, and the military drone directly activated its own infrared thermal imager, and soon a large number of moving heat sources appeared on the screen.
"hiss……"
The soldier controlling the drone took a breath of cold air, "Captain, there are probably hundreds of monsters in here!"
Yang Li was also shocked for a moment by the picture displayed by the thermal imager. He stared at the many moving heat sources that appeared densely on the screen, and suddenly felt a little numb.
If this number of little monsters appear in the dense forest and attack them, even if everyone is fully armed and equipped with corresponding heavy firepower, they will not be able to wipe out all of them, and some casualties may even result!
There are too many restrictions on the weapons they can carry in the jungle.
"There's a light source in front."
The operator drove the drone toward the light source. The screen flickered for a few times and soon returned to normal.
"The signal has been interfered with. There may be metal minerals on the walls around this underground cave..."
The drone quickly dropped in altitude, and soon a large number of goblins chirped and screamed from the microphone. Many goblins on the screen were still staring at this strange "bird" flying in the cave. kind".
"What does that thing look like to you?"
Yang Li suddenly interrupted. He pointed at the light source and said, "Does it look like some kind of mine?"
The light source comes from the gaps inside the cave. The sunlight shines through the gaps to the location below, which just illuminates several huge rocks in the underground cave.
It was one of the boulders that Yang Li was talking about, and it was emitting some kind of reflected light.
The researcher who had previously urged Yang Li to enter the cave quickly came forward and stared at the light on the screen for several seconds before shaking his head: "I can't tell if it's a gold mine... Wait, young man, put the drone towards Offset to the right.”
After he finished speaking, the operator immediately looked at Yang Li. After receiving a nod of permission, the drone immediately deflected to the right.
"enlarge!"
The lens screen instantly zooms in.
"Look... is this thing some kind of Mingjin!?"
The researcher trembled: "Look at the size, it's at least as big as a head!"
Several people behind him immediately came together, and after muttering to each other for a few times, they basically determined what the thing that appeared on the screen was.
This thing is a piece of exposed gold!
gold!
"Preliminary judgment is that the probability of this being a piece of gold is over 70%!"
"Aren't the necklaces that were pulled off those little monsters just now made of gold? This directly increases the possibility."
"Captain Yang, should we temporarily change the target?"
"If such a large piece of gold is brought back, the cost of this visit and the cost of subsequent visits will be recouped!"
……
A group of people were immediately eager to go to the underground cave, and they all looked at Yang Li eagerly.
Although Yang Li could not hide his excitement, he was extremely cautious and did not agree directly.
He pushed aside the crowd and greeted Chen Lin, who was standing not far away and observing the goblins.
"The drone tracked the goblins into their lair and found minerals that looked like gold inside."
After Chen Lin came over, Yang Li said directly: "Many people are planning to go hunting for treasures in the cave. I would like to ask for your opinion."
Chen Lin frowned slightly and raised his arm directly. "Is it possible to go into an underground cave wearing protective clothing like this?"
"The entrance to the cave may be a little narrow, so you need to take off your protective clothing before going down."
"Are you familiar with the underground environment?"
"If there are casualties in the underground cave because you are unfamiliar with the environment, what will you do after you go back?"
As soon as Chen Lin said these words, Yang Li immediately stopped speaking.
He touched the beard on his chin and thought for a few seconds before speaking out: "What you said makes sense."
"Our mission this time has basically been completed, and we shouldn't continue to waste time on this kind of thing."
"If there are casualties due to searching for gold, I will be primarily responsible when I return."
"Prepare to open the portal, we will retreat directly."
Chen Lin nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Finding gold-like minerals is actually not a big deal for Chen Lin, because once the precious metal minerals are obtained through this kind of team-based exploration, they are handed over directly after returning, and it basically has nothing to do with him.
His core importance is to open the portal. As long as this ability is not replaceable, Chen Lin is not worried about losing value at all.
Since there is no substitute, he is naturally the one who responds to requests at the research base.
It's just a little bit of gold, nothing compared to it.
Yang Li calmed down his facial expression, turned around, and went back to issue an evacuation order to the rest of his team.
When the researchers heard that Yang Li said that this time the mission had been completed and he was about to return to Earth, several of them suddenly became anxious.
"Captain Yang, where is the gold in the cave?"
"Let's at least go take a look?!"
"With so many of us, it's no problem to just go in and kill them all... If that doesn't work, let the team take that person with them. After entering, can't we get the things and just open the portal back?"
Yang Li suddenly turned dark after listening to what a few people said. He was too lazy to explain to these people and immediately informed all team members through the communicator to execute the order.
Several researchers were in the same team as the engineers, and the engineers followed Yang Li's orders unconditionally. Therefore, they could no longer refute, and could only reluctantly be coerced into the whole team and prepare to return.
"Our mission this time has been successfully completed. Certain things can be marked before continuing next time."
Yang Li stood on a high platform not far away and said in a deep voice: "Don't be blinded by temporary gains!"
"Mr. Chen, open the portal!"
Chen Lin below nodded slightly, and immediately two soldiers activated the automatic expansion frame on their hands.
The expansion frame quickly extended, and then automatically assembled into a whole new material board.
Chen Lin stretched out his left hand from the protective suit. He took off his gloves and stepped forward with his left hand to directly touch the material board.
With a buzzing sound, the automatically expanding frame in front of him instantly turned into a green portal.
Even though the dozens of people present had seen this scene before, they still found it a bit unbelievable when they saw it again.
"hurry up!"
Yang Li was not so unbelievable. He roared angrily and signaled the soldiers beside him to urge the researchers and engineering team to enter the portal first.
Humanity's first exploration of another world has ended, and the return journey has begun!
