That night, Kexiao indeed mentioned to Jiu Ling that if he were to unfortunately perish in the Mecha Battle, the investigation of the V583 asteroid region would be handed over to Jiu Ling, the Nosber family, and the official IL Intelligence Department to jointly manage—Saudi factional conflicts were always seemingly calm on the surface but turbulent beneath. Out of self-interest, one couldn't imagine what these people might do behind the scenes. This was undoubtedly Kexiao's trust in Jiu Ling, who, backed by a faction, could greatly play a restraining role.

Now Kexiao was still alive, and other factions dared not make a move, but if he were to truly die in battle, no one knew what would happen.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Ling nodded with difficulty. Although her prestige and capability were far from Kexiao's, she was still a decisive figure in the Saudi elites.

Yet, Jiu Ling couldn't understand why the battle between men had to be a matter of life and death, wishing neither Feng Yi nor Kexiao would perish in their confrontation.

"I don't understand why you must fight to the death."

"Heh heh, many things are beyond our control."

Kexiao didn't continue to explain. It was like the Desert Storm and the blue lightning rain, especially battles where the opponents were evenly matched, which were more perilous. This was not something lower-tier pilots could showcase. Since both were top fighters, no technical mishaps would occur; the grasp of details would be magnified infinitely. They knew each other's weaknesses much better, and a strike or being struck could often be fatal.

Fortunately, there was some time left. Kexiao and the Revenge Shadow Rider were scheduled to fight in the last of the top eight battles, meaning there were eight days left for research on the opponent. At such levels, often only one fight took place per day. After all, the participants needed rest and adjustments. As the Mecha Battle entered its final stages, the frequency of fights only increased, and they could not neglect the participants' well-being for the sake of the spectacle, so one fight per day was indeed the most scientific approach.

During this time, neither long nor short, Feng Yi had already arrived at the Federal Capital Planet. Walking along the straight streets and alleys, crossing bustling markets, Feng Yi finally stopped in front of the Eden Presidential Building.

After multiple identity verifications, he quickly entered Adams's office.

"Well, if it isn't the elusive General Feng."

"Heh, nice to see you're still in one piece, old man."

Only Feng Yi would dare address the president in such a manner. Indeed, he had become accustomed to this form of address since his time as a Special Envoy. Feng Yi felt that he had been utterly duped by the greedy duo of Adams and another elder.

Adams, seeming indifferent, did not look up from whatever he was endorsing with a pen, and said, "Have a seat. I'm quite busy right now."

"You seem to be preoccupied with official tasks, so I'll get straight to the point. This is what I've learned about the mysterious V583 battleship." Saying this, Feng Yi carelessly placed a portable hard drive on Adams's desk, "It includes everything I know about space battleships, wormholes, and explanations about my personal abilities." Of course, Feng Yi only revealed what he intended to, keeping details like his health confidential.

Adams paused, "You're talking about that mysterious battleship?"

"Not exactly, it's my personal speculation and analysis regarding the factors that led to the battleship's appearance in the V583 cluster."

Eventually, Adams put down his pen and paper, and said, "Even the countless experts from my country and Saudi are at a loss about this matter. Where did you come by your analysis?"

"It's all in the portable drive. More importantly, I'd like to know how the investigation into that alien battleship is progressing."

Adams's deep gaze seemed to penetrate Feng Yi as he watched him for a long moment, then said in a low voice, "The investigation is proceeding very slowly. You might not believe this, but the technology of this peculiar battleship far surpasses human levels. Just damaging its outer armor is no easy task for us."

"Rest assured, I might know more about this than you do. Could you share with me what is known so far?"

Adams nodded, "The battleship was found four days ago inside a space relic in the Black Devil asteroid cluster. Inside, there's a magnetic field we don't understand that causes damage to ordinary human cells. No signs of life were detected electromagnetically inside, possibly due to some kind of isolation technology. That's all I know. You might want to visit Dr. Rhine at Black Tech Base for more details; he is currently investigating this matter."

"Alright."

"Wait a moment." Feng Yi had just turned to leave when Adams stopped him, "Take this electronic document with you as well."

Feng Yi shook his head with a smile, "Mr. President, I think it would be better for you to review this information first." He said this considering that the event had already exceeded normal understanding. While it was alright for Dr. Rhine to see it, spreading it further might cause panic. To avoid this, Feng Yi believed that after Adams reviewed it, he would make a more appropriate resolution plan.

Black Tech Base towered above the clouds of Eden. Under the effect of counter-magnetic force technology, it looked like a splendid garden risen from flat land, giving an unreal impression.

This place belonged to the highest secret assembly location of the federation. The artificial intelligence Noah, situated at the center of Black Tech Base, was its heart. Under Noah's methodical operation, the federation's economy had developed very rapidly, ascending from the Earth region to a permanent member state of the FCA within just a few hundred years.
