Global Era of Star trekking

```

The most critical aspect was that there were more than twenty Hornet-class unmanned drones stored in the space of the Ruins Market at this moment.

In addition to the Hornet unmanned drones, there were also 10 military combat robots. Song Chi had prepared these in advance when his resources were abundant, out of an abundance of caution. He originally thought he might use them in future explorations of the Alien Star Domain, but he hadn't expected them to be put to use so soon.

At the side, the component of the "Brainwave Remote Control System" shimmered with light, and a brainwave beacon was projected onto the Hornet-class drone in his hand. Then Song Chi stepped forward to the "Fixed-Point Launch Pad," placed the drone properly, and as his thoughts shifted, the launch pad was activated in sync.

1.5 light-years away, in a Star Region tens of thousands of kilometers from the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves, a Hornet-class unmanned drone appeared quietly following a slight spatial fluctuation.

Since the Hornet unmanned drone was not small, that's why Song Chi chose coordinates that were sufficiently far from the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves. As for the spatial fluctuation produced by the launch, there was no need to worry.

In this Star Region where space rifts and spatial tempests were commonplace, the slight spatial fluctuation caused by the launch of the Hornet unmanned drone was inconsequential.

Inside the Illusion Space, Song Chi's expression darkened. His luck with this first launch was not good at all, as it ran into a space rift. No sooner had the Hornet-class drone been dispatched than it was shredded to pieces.

With no other choice, Song Chi had to recall the Cangqiong and wait for 6 hours before attempting a second launch.

There was no alternative, although the Brainwave Remote Control System's buffer time was only 4 hours, the launch pad required 6 hours, and Song Chi did not want to expend more Second-Rank Floating Land Origin on it, considering it was unnecessary since he still had to dismantle it and return it to Song Wen later on.

Afterward, Song Chi began multiple attempts. The second attempt was also a failure, not encountering a space rift but instead a spatial tempest, which obliterated it instantly within the terrifying storm.

The third attempt was successful, but the space rifts near the coordinates were so dense that, despite Song Chi's efforts to control the drone with the brainwave beacon to dodge, it eventually grazed one of the rifts and, as a result, the drone was quickly destroyed by another space rift.

After three attempts, Song Chi stopped. Having used the brainwave beacon three times in a row, he was beginning to feel the strain on his mind. He could only stow the Cangqiong and return to the room assigned to him at the base. Then he entered the All-Attributes Cultivation Room of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and began practicing the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique.

The next day, after leaving his room early, Song Chi first went to the surveillance room to complete his daily monitoring tasks. After handing over his shift, he went back to the dock area of the warship to start the day's launch tests.

After reselecting coordinates on the star chart, the fourth launch officially began.

Perhaps because he had used up all of his bad luck yesterday, the first launch today encountered good luck. The coordinates where the Hornet unmanned drone was launched, including the surrounding area of several tens of meters, were free from space rifts and spatial tempests. On the other hand, Song Chi recorded the coordinates onto his communication bracelet.

Such safe launch locations were meticulously noted by him, both for providing a variety of safe launch options for the subsequent Phantom Butterfly Rank unmanned drones and for mapping out every space rift around the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves, so that if his family were to go to war with the Star Thieves, this star chart could play an important role.

After the recording was complete, Song Chi began to carefully maneuver the Hornet unmanned drone around the area, noting down the precise locations of space rifts, marking them one by one on the star chart created by the Skysight Surveillance Radar, while slowly advancing towards the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves.

Unfortunately, due to the peculiar nature of the environment, the unmanned drone progressed very slowly. Additionally, the Hornet unmanned drone's battery life was limited and, after six hours, its energy battery had been depleted.

Because it was not possible to recall the drone, Song Chi chose to deliberately steer the Hornet unmanned drone towards a space rift.

The reason was simple: once the energy battery was completely drained, the drone would lose power, and since he couldn't retrieve it quickly, he decided to dispose of it proactively to prevent the drone left in space from being accidentally discovered by the Blood Blade Star Thieves.

Even if the likelihood was very small, this matter concerned the family's return to the main branch, and he could not afford any wishful thinking.

Six hours later, he took out the fifth Hornet unmanned drone and commenced the fifth launch, following the same steps as before, recording the positions of space rifts around him, adding to the star chart's rift annotations.

amidst this repetitive routine, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, Song Chi successfully marked half of the coordinates of the space rifts within a hundred thousand kilometers around the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves. However, he was then left with only 2 Hornets in his possession.

As for entering the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair or even approaching within a thousand kilometers, Song Chi had not taken even half a step. The Hornet unmanned drones lacked strong stealth capabilities; the closer they got, the greater the risk of exposure, so he dared not take the risk.

Stowing away the Cangqiong and considering the need for further launches and annotations, Song Chi went to see his father and obtained ten drones of the same model from him.
