Bear Hunt Field Officer's words made it hard for everyone to respond, perfectly fitting the stereotype that he was poor with words.
But Yun Bo's reply was even harsher. "Since the battle began, the department has already taken in four Seven Heroes. Did you never think of changing things up?"
"..."
Ronan grimaced. After all, this topic ultimately revolved around him. Following a somewhat awkward silence, he tried to keep things professional and brought up the technical problems:
"The seventy-kilometer depth has already had quite an impact on the current Ant Nest design. Reaching the transition layer within five days will be difficult."
He was not trying to seize the chance to bargain for better conditions. Everything he said was fact.
Pupil Ring-28758 Asteroid's Earth Core structure had been inherited from a gas giant. Its geological activity was more vigorous than that of most asteroids of comparable size, and its deep environment was harsher as well. According to current survey results, the temperature at the mantle-Earth Core transition layer was around 1,700 K, with pressure reaching fifty thousand standard atmospheres. Something centimeter-sized like the Fire God-Type 2 had to withstand the equivalent of roughly fifty tons, along with all kinds of intense radiation capable of directly destroying genetic chains.
Ordinary people could never descend into that kind of environment. Ronan's hope of conducting an on-site survey was a delusion.
Not to mention that if he could not get past the Law Deployment Absolute Barrier, he could not cultivate Root Marrow Source Essence. Nothing else mattered.
Ronan sighed.
Yun Bo smiled. "So not even a Five Heroes Medal can buy back a researcher's pride?"
"No. I was just thinking about the Law Deployment Absolute Barrier." Ronan did not hide it, nor was there anything to hide.
Yun Bo had no answer
