Jiang Cheng instructed the technicians under his command to issue the next orders and have the probe continue to clarify the situation.

How much of the Alpha Crystal is there, exactly where is it located, and what are the surrounding conditions?

Make sure none of these details are overlooked, immediately probe them for me.

Jiang Cheng practically shouted out the orders, startling the technician.

Jiang Cheng's current behavior is becoming somewhat uncontrollable, which is why such a situation has arisen.

Jiang Cheng's mood cannot calm down at all, simply because of the discovery of Alpha Crystal on Neptune.

This is something he spent years trying to find in his previous life, reaching a degree of obsession.

Now, finally finding the existence of the Alpha Crystal, if it were anyone else, they would not know how excited they might become.

Jiang Cheng can control himself now, only his voice was louder, which is already a good performance.

After letting the probe continue its investigation, Jiang Cheng stayed at the Space Mission Center.

Mainly because Jiang Cheng really wanted to know the follow-up details, he felt uneasy not waiting here.

Jiang Cheng estimated that even if he left here, he would still worry about the Alpha Crystal matters, so he decided to wait here for the results.

Anyway, all living facilities are available here, and the living conditions are very good. Staying here is no big deal.

Jiang Cheng's desire to find the Alpha Crystal is a longing left from his previous life.

The resentment left from the previous life now finally has hope for completion, making it impossible for Jiang Cheng to calm down.

Whether the resentment left from his previous life can be realized depends on the final result.

Jiang Cheng staying here personally to wait for the results immediately stirred up the entire Space Mission Center.

Even the technical director, upon hearing about it, hurried over to wait with Jiang Cheng.

Given how much Jiang Cheng values this matter, as Jiang Cheng's right-hand man, of course he should come over to help Jiang Cheng at this time.

Once the detailed results are out, it will be time for the work related to mining on Neptune.

Planning such missions can't be without him, so he stayed at the Space Mission Center just like Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng, the big boss, and the technical director both waiting for one outcome.

This situation is rare, stirring up curiosity among all present staff.

Everyone is guessing what they value so much about this material called Alpha Crystal.

Their curiosity arises simply because they don't understand the use of Alpha Crystal.

If they knew what Alpha Crystal was used for, they wouldn't wonder why Jiang Cheng values it so much.

Alpha Crystal, for all cosmic civilizations, is an extremely important rare material.

Because it is the essential material for manufacturing mecha; only with Alpha Crystal can real mechas be created.

These humanoid armors made by Jiang Cheng, including the Xingtian Type, are all shrunk-down versions of mechas, hence they are called humanoid armor instead of mecha, the ultimate weapon in the universe.

The current humanoid armor owned by humans cannot do what real mechas can do.

The key metric in evaluating whether a humanoid armor has reached the level of mecha.

The most crucial measurement is whether it can fight in a space environment.

Only those that can maintain combat power in space can be called real mechas.

To engage in combat in space, the mecha's performance must reach a certain level, which tests the comprehensive capabilities of mechas.

To fight freely in space requires a large amount of horsepower to drive.

Space is unlike the ground where one can leverage to move.

So in the weightless environment of space, a mecha with insufficient power has difficulty moving, let alone fighting.

To provide enough power for a mecha, a special engine must be used to supply substantial power.

This engine is called Alpha Strike, which can only be manufactured with Alpha Crystal.

Although each Alpha Strike requires very little Alpha Crystal, it cannot be created without Alpha Crystal.

The power output of Alpha Strike far exceeds that of other engines, and the entire engine is very small and lightweight.

This special engine is only the size of a human head, yet it can output an extremely strong power.

Alpha Strike's unit weight output power ratio is the highest among all cosmic engines, and no other engines can match it.

This is why Alpha Strike is most suitable as a mecha power source.

It's not that only such an engine can provide the power needed for mechas.

But the size and weight of other engines are too large to be installed on a mecha.

Like the materialless star system engines used on the Pioneer, their output power can reach the level of Alpha Strike.

But the size of the star system engines cannot be fitted into a mecha.

The star system engines on the Pioneer are larger than ordinary houses, making it impossible to install on a mecha.

For the same horsepower output, the Alpha Strike is only the size of a human head, while other engines are as big as houses.

The irreplaceable status of Alpha Strike is due to its extremely high performance ratio.

To maximize the combat power of mechas, the ultimate fighting machine, Alpha Strike is indispensable.

And Alpha Strike cannot be manufactured without Alpha Crystal, making this rare material so important.

It's worth noting that mechas are a civilization's ultimate force, and can even reflect the strength of cosmic civilizations.

Conflicts between two cosmic civilizations largely occur in space.

Once in space, the deciding factor is the mecha power of each side.

Mechas can maneuver flexibly in space, with combat power countless times higher than lumbering spaceships.

A true single mecha can take on a cosmic battleship alone, illustrating the importance of mechas.

If a cosmic civilization lacks its own mechas, it always risks attack from other civilizations.

The universe is not a peaceful place, constantly riddled with various conflicts.
