Lox realized he had underestimated those beautiful floating islands. These enormous rock masses, scattered across Pandora's atmosphere in a pleasing arrangement, contained not only some substance capable of counteracting the planet's gravity, but more importantly, trace amounts of Blackstone ore.
"We blasted open a floating island. After breaking it down and processing it, we ultimately discovered some superconducting material with antigravity properties. Along with it came the Blackstone we'd been longing for."
The Blackstone they had crossed thousands of light-years to find was now within reach. Lox hardened his resolve and ordered the production base to manufacture batch after batch of floating mining vehicles, preparing to mine the floating islands that filled the sky.
The raw ore they collected was initially sorted before being sent to the ore refining center. After further purification and crystallization, they finally obtained finished Blackstone.
Its perfect hexahedral form had a smooth surface that gleamed like obsidian. Though it appeared utterly unremarkable, it was actually a peculiar substance capable of influencing aetheric energy.
The freshly produced Blackstone blocks had no polarity. They neither suppressed the Warp nor amplified psychic power, but once users endowed them with polarity, Blackstone would reveal its extraordinary properties.
Lox did not rush to assign them polarity. Instead, he sent the Blackstone into a tightly guarded warehouse. Once they had gathered enough, this batch would be transported to the cruiser and rushed back to Sotha.
"The Blackstone production line is finally up and running. That weight on my mind can finally be lifted."
"By the way, how have those primitive Aeldari living on Pandora reacted?" Lox turned to ask Hill, who was following at his side. He seemed not to have received any reports of clashes from the front.
The primitive Aeldari's response had been calm—unnervingly calm.
Lox had already prepared
