Chapter 62: Blueprint

At eight PM that night, the mining shuttle returned safely to the Hope, carrying along with it the analyzed asteroid piece.

The asteroid was covered with multiple layers of insulation to prevent exposure to the Hope’s air. After all, the reports they had so far had been results from the makeshift lab in the shuttle, so for absolute safety, the asteroid still needed to go through more experiments conducted within the Academy.

As captain, Yao Yuan was present when the shuttle arrived at the Hope’s hangar. He approached each team member individually and sincerely thanked them. He knew that it might seem weak to have the captain bow down to his citizens, but these people had risked their lives going on the mining shuttle. He owed them that much.
