Half a month later, a small space station docked next to an interstellar aircraft carrier in low-Earth orbit in the Steel Fortress. Amidst a burst of mechanical noise, it became part of this huge aircraft carrier.

"Everyone, I have already contacted the fortress. I believe they will send someone to contact you soon. I'll take my leave first. Goodbye." As Alex spoke, he flew up from the console and walked towards the metal with his toes. Door leaf.

"Your Excellency..." Before Panad and the others could react, Alex had already waved his hand and left the cabin without looking back.

For Alex, this is just an insignificant episode. No matter how noble the other party's status is, it has nothing to do with him as an explorer.

It was only a few hours after driving the spacecraft from low-Earth orbit to the Steel Fortress. When Alex entered the mission agency headquarters again, there were already many people bustling in the hall. He noticed that many people were gathered around the screen where the mission was announced. , seemed to be pointing and talking about something.

Alex felt a little strange when he saw this. Instead of rushing over, he went to deliver the previous task first and came to another window that looked much cooler.

"What business do you need to handle?" Behind the window was a middle-aged man in glasses with meticulously combed hair. He looked up and saw Alex, adjusted his glasses and asked.

"I'll take over the task." As Alex spoke, he swiped his identity card at the scanner in front of him.

The middle-aged man operated a silver metal disc a few times, glanced at Alex in surprise, and then said: "Major Alex, congratulations on completing the inspection mission, completing the A-level, and obtaining The merit point is 5,000 points. Well, I also wiped out a group of winged owls on the way, and the additional merit point is 10,000 points. The total is 15,000 points, please check."

With a beeping sound, a string of blue characters flashed on the surface of Alex's identity crystal, representing his latest income of 15,000 merit points.

Alex put away his identity crystal and was in a very good mood. 15,000 merit points was a huge sum of money. Even if he rented a strong electromagnetic field facility, he could last for 150 hours, which was barely enough for the next stage of training.

Alex's original plan was to take on a few more missions to collect the required merit points, but he didn't expect that the Winged Owls group would be so valuable, making his plan go one step faster than originally.

Alex was in a good mood. Thinking of the scene he just saw, he asked, "Has the fortress issued any more tasks? Why are there so many people here?"

Shocked by Alex's performance, the man with glasses said in a particularly enthusiastic voice: "Recently, the fortress has released a batch of hunting missions, mainly targeting a group of interstellar pirates raging in the YT1503 star field. Major, if you are interested, If so, you can pay appropriate attention.”

"Interstellar pirates, didn't the fortress send troops to encircle and suppress them?"

The man in glasses shook his head: "This group of interstellar pirates is very cunning. Once there is a big movement in the Steel Fortress, they will immediately hide. In addition, they do not have a fixed base, so it is very difficult to completely eliminate them."

Alex thought that he was right. The so-called interstellar pirates were just a group of stragglers, and their combat effectiveness was completely different from that of the regular army. Not to mention mobilizing an army, Steel Fortress can easily dispatch a team of explorers or a regular army group to wipe out them. The difficulty lies in finding the whereabouts of the other party.

After Alex thanked him, he looked up when passing the mission notice board. The specific mission information was listed in the most conspicuous position.

There are only a few lines of mission information. This group of interstellar pirates has formed a "Blood Skull Star Sea Group" with two "Vulcan" class heavy firepower warships and more than 500 murderers. Their active range is generally in the YT1503 star field. So far, They have robbed more than a dozen commercial spaceships along the road and killed thousands of innocent people.

Alex frowned. No wonder the fortress issued a hunting mission. These people deserved to die!

Hunting missions are different from regular missions and do not require special acceptance. Anyone can directly receive the bounty as long as they show evidence of killing the mission target.

There must be a bounty on the Iron Fortress, and it is only a matter of time before this pirate group is destroyed.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Alex thought to himself that if he hadn't saved enough merit points, he might try to find this group of people, but the most important thing now was to improve himself first. With this thought, Alex quickened his pace and quickly left the mission headquarters.

The strong electromagnetic field auxiliary facility, or the electromagnetic room specially built for the training of extraordinary people, is located due south of the base. It is a large area with more than ten towering buildings.

In addition, there are special places such as freezing chambers, lava chambers, pressure chambers, and gravity chambers, which are specially used for the cultivation of personnel within the fortress.

The electromagnetic room is located under a building marked with a lightning icon. The entrance is a towering steel wall, and there is an upward black staircase at the entrance.

When Alex arrived here, the door just opened, and an unusually tall and muscular bald man with bulging muscles on his naked upper body and beads of sweat on his head walked out, and their eyes met. My heart skipped a beat and I turned away immediately.

The pace of the two seemed slow, but in fact they were extremely fast, and they passed by each other in an instant.

"What a powerful body! What a terrifying magnetic field power!" Alex felt secretly in his heart. The Steel Fortress was worthy of being a place where dragons and tigers were hiding. Any one person could have such amazing strength.

Alex could already tell that this man was about the same age as himself. This man should also be practicing the power of magnetic field rotation. His eyes seemed to be covered by hot lava under volcanic rocks, and his majestic body contained terrifying energy.

Alex has always been conceited, but when faced with this person, he felt that he didn't have much confidence in winning.

At the bottom of the black stairs, the bald man grinned, revealing a big mouth full of white teeth. Jie Jie said with a strange smile: "Interesting! Very interesting!"

At this time, two tall young men who were only slightly thinner than him came forward. One of the short-haired guys touched his head and asked in a rough voice: "Boss Andre, what are you talking about that is interesting?"

The eyes of the muscular man named Andre radiated with strong fighting spirit, "Well, an opponent worth fighting. I need to know his name."

The other two people looked at each other, and they knew that the person who could be chosen by Andre "Thunderstorm" was definitely not an ordinary person.

The short-haired young man among them immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, boss, I will clearly find out his identity and put it in front of you."

On the other side, Alex didn't know that he had been remembered, but even if he knew, it would only make the bellicose blood in his body boil even more.

Alex came to a three-meter-high alloy door at the bottom of the building and paused.

A blue light shot down from the top of the door frame, sweeping from Alex's head to his feet. As a low electronic sound of "scan passed" sounded, the alloy door that could withstand the bombardment of heavy weapons opened towards both sides.

Entering it, there is a cold and dim alloy passage ahead, and a faint yellow light divides the entire area into small pieces of uncertain light and darkness.

Passing through the corridor, a red light lit up in front of many electromagnetic rooms, which meant that someone was already using it. Alex randomly found an unoccupied electromagnetic room and swiped the lower slot with his ID card.

Pushing the door open, it was empty inside. There was only a round silver plate in the center of the rectangular white room, suspended in mid-air.

Alex jumped up, sat cross-legged on the disc, and said: "Start!"

With a "buzz" sound, a white light descended from the top, just covering the human body on the disk.

After a moment, blue currents visible to the naked eye shot out from the surrounding walls, meandering rapidly through the air, forming a current aperture around the white light.

The high-speed moving charged particles collided with each other, and the current aperture began to oscillate at a special frequency. It sounded like a buzzing sound, and a strong electromagnetic field was generated from scratch.

There was a "crackling" sound in the air, and countless small electric snakes could be vaguely seen flashing away. The electromagnetic field formed a brilliant halo in the air, slowly breathing up and down.

Alex sat upright on the disk and could clearly feel the tingling sensation coming from the surface of his skin. This was the result of "filtering" the white light, which isolated most of the strong electromagnetic current from the outside.

However, as Alex began to use the "Magnetic Storm Light Flow" practice method at full strength, an invisible suction force spread in all directions. Under the pull of this force, the surrounding electromagnetic light flows moved towards the central disk. Coming.

A special scene formed in the electromagnetic room. The surface of Alex's body was wrapped in a layer of blue mist-like electric clothing, and a funnel-shaped vortex filled with electric current and lightning loomed above it. The originally slightly numb feeling became infinitely stronger. More than twice as much, it almost penetrated the bone marrow.

Fortunately, Alex was well prepared for this process. He endured the severe pain and gradually absorbed the external electromagnetic force according to the method described in the "Magnetic Storm Light Flow" practice. Wisps of current flowed from his body. The pores of the skin merge into each other and gather on the chest.

The next moment, a strong electric current ran through the whole body. Alex let out a soft drink, his eyes suddenly opened, his long hair was raised high, the cells in his body were rubbing at high speed, and the original magnetic field driving force in his body was like a killer whale opening its huge mouth. , quickly swallowing up this electromagnetic force.

At the same time, the violent electromagnetic force from the outside swept in from all directions. Under the filtering of white light, its nature became more peaceful and stable, turning into wisps of blue mist that enveloped Alex.

On the central disk, Alex felt as if his body was soaked in a hot spring that alternated between hot and cold. An indescribable feeling of comfort spread from the limbs to the brain.

He closed his eyes tightly, and could clearly feel his heart pulsing with the frequency of the magnetic field. The cells in his body cheered for joy, and his spirit gradually entered a state where things and myself were forgotten.
