General Bai Ling's gaze instinctively fell on Tang Le. Observing Tang Le's calm expression, he couldn't help but secretly admire him. Rescuing someone from the surface of a star seemed incredible, not just to do, but even to imagine!
"Can you ensure safety and escape gravity?" General Bai Ling asked solemnly.
"I believe I can," Tang Le replied seriously.
General Bai Ling nodded and didn't ask further. Instead, he said, "The biggest challenge you will face is the temperature fluctuation on the star's surface. According to current data, the surface temperature of this star fluctuates between six thousand and ten thousand degrees. If there is a strong fluctuation in the internal sunspots, the temperature can rise sharply, even reaching tens of thousands of degrees. Even if you are a god-level expert, it would be difficult to withstand. Moreover, you have to escape the gravity and return to the stellar probe. This process is extremely dangerous."
"I will handle the support," Elder Yi said gravely.
Meng Fei said, "I will be the third support."
General Bai Ling said, "That will be more secure. Muchen, you should go this time as well."
"Yes, I will go too," Yu Muchen said solemnly. "I will maintain the stellar probe and ensure their return. Pavilion Master Wang and Hall Master Tang will assist me in guarding."
"That seems more secure. I suggest that if we locate the person we need to rescue, Senior Tang will handle the surface rescue. Elder Yi will support from around two thousand meters, and Hall Master Meng will support from around four thousand meters. Finally, we will return together."Everyone nodded in agreement; this was the best plan.
General Bai Ling said, "Now, the most important issue we face is finding her and ensuring she is still alive. On the surface of a star, various detectors will be greatly affected. High temperatures will distort detection waves, and the star's immense gravity will also have an impact. Does anyone have any preparations in this regard?"
Lan Xuanyu quickly said, "I have a connection with Teacher Nana. Moreover, her divine artifact is with us. Within a certain distance, we should be able to sense her presence."
Bai Xiuxiu added, "I also have her token, which should help us sense her."
General Bai Ling frowned, "Your spiritual powers have not yet reached the level of divine sense. On the surface of a star, they will be greatly affected. Detecting the stellar probe itself is a challenge, so how can you find a person?"
Tang Le said gravely, "I will help them. I should also have a connection with Nana. With Xuanyu, Xiuxiu, and me together, as long as she is alive, we should be able to find her on the star's surface."
General Bai Ling glanced at him, paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Everyone, we have come with the highest hopes for this rescue. However, I must remind you all that safety comes first. Each one of you has other responsibilities. Secondly, time is limited. If the situation becomes untenable, we must end the search and rescue when the time is up. I hope you can understand. If we succeed, it will naturally be the best outcome."
His meaning was very clear: success would be ideal, but if they were unsuccessful, the search and rescue could only proceed within the allotted time. Once the time was up, the fleet would have to leave.
The stellar probe would cooperate with them for three searches, each lasting three hours. If there were no results after three attempts, the Seventh Fleet would return to base.
"I understand your point. Time is of the essence, so let's begin as soon as possible," Tang Le said solemnly.
General Bai Ling nodded and said, "The stellar probe is ready. Now we will send you to acclimate. Two accompanying personnel from the mothership will join you to handle internal operations of the probe. The main operations of the probe will be managed by the mothership's gravity chain. Stay in communication, and the mothership will move the probe according to your needs. If there are solar flares or communication disruptions, the mothership will immediately retrieve the probe to ensure your safety."
Everyone nodded. General Bai Ling's plan was clear and impeccable.
The brief meeting concluded, and everyone immediately took the shuttle to the stellar probe. General Bai Ling, needing to oversee the mothership, would not be accompanying them. Instead, a major general and a senior colonel would go with them.
Lan Xuanyu clenched his fists tightly. The crucial moment had finally arrived. Whether they could rescue Teacher Nana, and whether she was still alive, depended on this rescue mission.
Tang Le appeared calm, but there was a noticeable sparkle in his eyes.
Elder Yi, standing closest to him, sensed a firm resolve emanating from Tang Le, a resolve that instilled a sense of stability. This feeling made Elder Yi momentarily lost in thought, recalling a time when he had felt such steadfastness.
The stellar probe was a flat, round metal structure with a diameter of about twenty-five meters and a height of seven to eight meters. When the metal door of the probe opened, it was evident that its outer layer was extremely thick, composed of eight layers of metal stacked to form the outer wall. Each layer of metal was filled with special materials, undoubtedly to enhance defense and insulate against temperature. It resembled a massive safety shield.
Due to the thick outer wall, the interior space wasn't particularly large, but it housed numerous precision instruments. There were no portholes; everything outside was transmitted inside through soul screens.
The two Seventh Fleet officers briefly explained the functions of the stellar probe. The probe itself had strong detection capabilities. However, since it was primarily designed to explore stars, its detection capabilities were focused on analyzing various energies and the elemental composition of the star's surface. It lacked the ability to detect life forms, as no one would expect to find life on a star.
The most useful detection device was one that magnified the surface of the star, enabling the search for objects not related to the star itself. This would be significant for their rescue mission.
However, upon entering, Lan Xuanyu and Tang Le exchanged a glance and both couldn't help but furrow their brows slightly.
The reason for their furrowed brows was simple: the protection of the stellar probe was too good. Yes, it was too good. So good that it interfered with their ability to extend their spiritual power outside.
While the external high temperatures couldn't penetrate, their spiritual power would also struggle to reach out. The layers of metal and filler that blocked external radiation would also significantly consume their spiritual power and divine sense if they tried to extend it outside.
"Let's investigate first," Tang Le said to Lan Xuanyu.
"Alright," Lan Xuanyu nodded. After all, they had three chances.
Tang Le turned to the major general and asked, "Is there any communication equipment that allows us to maintain contact with the probe's interior while rescuing outside?"
The major general replied, "Yes, we have specially made communicators from special metals that ensure communication on the star's surface. They won't be damaged below ten thousand degrees, but if the temperature exceeds ten thousand degrees, they may melt. Therefore, you must protect them well."
"Alright, please prepare them for us," Tang Le nodded.
Once everything was ready, Major General Zhang Zekai communicated with the mothership's command center and informed everyone that the first rescue mission would begin in ten minutes.
Everyone sat cross-legged, focusing and meditating to adjust their state. Even god-level experts couldn't afford to be careless when facing a star.
The Seventh Fleet's other warships slowly separated, and the massive mothership, escorted by four Dragon King-class frigates, gradually approached the star.
The stellar probe needed the protection of the mothership's gravity chain, which could retrieve it at any time. With the internal preparations complete, the mothership in position, they could begin the mission.
Stellar rescue, even in the history of the Douluo Federation, was a first. Thus, although the interior of the stellar probe was quiet, all information and signals were being transmitted and displayed on the large screens in the mothership's command center.
