s . p . a . ceships had protective shields, but this didn't mean that these shields were omnipotent . In outer s . p . a . ce, danger was in every corner . They may be attacked by s . p . a . ce junk, cosmic rays, or anything else at any time . There even some cosmic rays that could tear apart a ship's shield like paper .
Because of this, most ships had emergency doors installed on its outer cabins!
These emergency doors were there to be used whenever the ship gets damaged . Once the hull gets breached, these emergency doors would immediately be activated, isolating the affected compartments . Even if the pressure on those compartments shred and rip apart everything inside, it still wouldn't affect the ship's overall operation .
Those three cabins had been damaged because they had been targeted by the pirates . Therefore, Kirk immediately ordered the emergency doors of those cabins to be closed . This way, it ensures that the ship continues to fly normally .
If the emergency doors were left open, then the pressure on the ship would get bigger and bigger . It might even cause the ship to break in two . If that happens, then they would surely be finished .
Seeing that the pirates had been shaken off, Kirk and the others began to relax . Then Margaret and Kirk looked at Zhao Hai with an unusual gaze . They didn't think that Zhao Hai would stay calm in such a critical event .
One shouldn't underestimate the decision to turn back . In their position, it wasn't an easy task to calmly choose to turn around and head back . Although they were indeed closer to Tyro Planet, they weren't that close . They had already been travelling for close to day, and were now one-third of the way back to the academy . Most people might just bite the bullet and push through .
Zhao Hai also thought about going forward . However, if the Ashley family's enemy really did want to deal with them, then it's possible that they would stage multiple ambushes along the way . Because of this, Zhao Hai knew that going back was the only solution that could provide them with an a . s . sured chance of survival .
And his choice was correct . As the ship turned around, the pursuing Warriors and Mages couldn't catch up . This allowed Zhao Hai and the others to escape with their lives .
Zhao Hao saw Margaret and Kirk's gaze, but he just smiled and didn't say anything . Margaret didn't ask Zhao Hai anything as well as she turned to Kirk and said, "I'll send news back to the family and ask them for a . s . sistance as soon as possible . Meanwhile, let's stay in Tyro Planet and recuperate . " Kirk nodded .
Although they still haven't arrived at Tyro Planet, Kirk knew that they were as good as safe . And as long as they reach the range of the planet's defenses, nothing would happen to them .
Planetary defenses were quite common in the Machine Field . And on a planet with mithril ore, Tyro Planet had defenses much stronger than most .
After landing on Tyro Planet, the people on the ship were finally able to let out relieved sighs . Margaret took Zhao Hai back to the reception area and told Sim about the situation . Then she asked Sim to provide them with a place to stay .
Naturally, Sim immediately agreed to the request and arranged a room for them . After the rooms had been a . s . signed, Margaret went to Zhao Hai's room .
After being invited inside by Zhao Hai and offered a cup of tea, Margaret sat opposite her student . She looked at Zhao Hai for some time before she said, "Zhao Hai, I need to thank you for your calm thinking . If it weren't for you, we would've decided to proceed . " Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Instructor is too polite . I'm just thinking for myself . If we really continued going forward, then not everyone in the ship might have survived . "
Margaret nodded, then she said, "I reckon you've already known about the Bone Symbol Camp . To be honest, the camp's present state isn't the same as the past . There's nothing in the camp that could attract an expert . However, I still hope that you can join the camp . At the very least, you will be safer if you join us . And after you enter, I will tell the camp leader to concentrate the camp's resources into cultivating you . With your talent, you will definitely be a famous expert in the region . "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Instructor, there's no need to go that far . I will join the Bone Symbol Camp because I want to . I definitely won't regret this decision . "
Margaret nodded, then after a moment she said, "I'll give you more freedom when we go back to the Academy . This way, you can adapt to the spiritual qi at your own pace . Once you adapt to the normal density, you can tell me and I will let you graduate in advance . "
Zhao Hao nodded . To be honest, he didn't want to stay in the academy anymore . And he also wanted to adjust to the Machine Field's normal spiritual qi density as soon as possible so that he could strengthen himself more effectively . He wanted to advance quicker so that he could gain a footing in the World of Cultivation, as well as providing Laura and the others with an ident . i . ty This way, they would be able to boldly move about in the Machine Field and not stay inside the s . p . a . ce all the time .
Margaret added, "I've already informed the family . They will be sending support but they would arrive the day after tomorrow . You need to be careful in these two days . Although n . o . body would dare make a large-scale a . s . sault on Tyro Planet, this doesn't mean that they won't send someone to do a . s . sa . s . sination . If you have nothing to do, it would be best if you stay inside your room . "
Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright . Instructor can rest a . s . sured . " Margaret nodded before she stood up and left .
Through this event, Zhao Hai was able to confirm that the Bone Symbol camp had already settled on recruiting him . Otherwise, Margaret wouldn't have told him that they would allocate all their resources in order to cultivate him .
Besides this, Zhao Hai also discovered something from Margaret's words . First, it seems to be true that the Bone Symbol Camp lacked experts . And second, Margaret's was certainly someone of considerable status .
After Margaret left, Zhao Hai immediately entered the s . p . a . ce . Seeing Zhao Hai return, Laura and the others quickly welcomed him . Then Laura said, "Brother Hai, that was dangerous . You need to be more careful . " Zhao Hai just smiled and said, "It's fine, you don't need to worry . You heard Teacher Margaret, after returning to the academy, I will be able to adapt to the normal level of spiritual qi quicker . This way, I could leave the academy earlier . Once I leave, I will find a way so that you can go out . You don't have to stay inside the s . p . a . ce every day . "
When they heard Zhao Hai, Laura and the others immediately cheered . For them, this was a very important matter . They've already seen how colorful the Machine Field was, so they all wanted to explore the place with their own eyes . It was just a pity that they had yet to gain the opportunity to do so . So when Zhao Hai told them about this, they couldn't help but be happy .
Seeing their happy expressions, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be happy as well . After everyone had calmed down, Zhao Hai said, "However, we still have to stay in Tyro Planet for a couple of days . I plan to use these days to take a look at the tunnels and take normal mithril for ourselves . It would be a waste if I couldn't get some mithril after coming here . '
Laura smiled and said, "You don't need to worry yourself about this . Since we've been here already, you can return at any time . I think what you need to focus on right now is to improve your combat effectiveness . Right, if you have time, you should go to the mining city and buy some gifts for Dins and the others . If Brother Hai really wants Dins and the others to follow you in the future, you need to increase their strength and provide them with formations to practice on . Take Dins for example, he's a Fire Mage so he should be studying fire element formations . You can give him a combined formation and have him condense a formation that suits him best . Not only would he get stronger, he will also feel indebted to you . Although Margaret said that the Bone Symbol Camp would concentrate on cultivating you, there would still be people inside the camp that will feel dissatisfied with this decision . Therefore, you need to cultivate your own group . "
After listening to Laura, Zhao Hai felt that her words were justified . If he joins the Bone Symbol Camp in the future, he would need to cultivate his own influence . Otherwise, he would be isolated . Although Dins and the others were older, Zhao Hai didn't find any problems with them . The s . p . a . ce had potions that can extend life so they should be able to live a couple of hundred years more . Moreover, as their cultivation increased, their lifespan would also increase . When the time comes, they would be experts that n . o . body would dare underestimate .
As long as Zhao Hai shows them favor now, then when he joins the Bone Symbol Camp later, he wouldn't be afraid of being surrounded on all sides . He would have his own group to rely on .
With this thought in mind, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you . I'll use these days to practice . Right Cai'er, I was thinking of using potions to break through my bottleneck . Help me look for herbs that can allow me to break through to the second layer of the Stellar Transformations art . I always felt that breaking through the second layer would bring me a huge benefit . " Cai'er nodded . Then she turned around and flew away . At this point, Little Silver had become Cai'er's a . s . sistant, following behind her all the time . As for Bubble, the fellow actually liked to hang around in the villa alongside Laura and the others . The women were already used to its existence . They even use Bubble as a pillow from time to time .
By this time, Zhao Hai had lost interest in dealing with Bubble . Although this fellow looks lazy, its strength was actually pretty good . Zhao Hai had already placed a lot of things inside Bubble's body to undergo water refining . Among these things were two grown azure dragon snails as well as the column of ice where Bubble was originally taken from .
It needs to be said that Zhao Hai was able to learn about the azure dragon snails in the Machine Field . As long as the snails were refined to a certain degree, they could be used as a warship . As for the column of ice, it was born from Bubble and was very rich in the water element . This type of material had numerous uses in the Machine Field . There would definitely be great uses for it in the future .
