  After hearing the War God Systems response, Lin Fei thought back to when he had first arrived at the prison and undergone the so-called "daddy training" virtual fighting challenge provided by the system, where he had fought against fake people in the arena. The tens of thousands of deaths that had almost turned him into a vegetable person was a terrifying experience that made Lin Feis scalp tingle just thinking about it, and immediately dispelled his desire to undergo mech simulation training in his mind.

  After listening to the War God systems explanation of the basic course of mech control for several days, he really wanted to find a real mech to practice his skills. However, since he was in the Kael prison, it was strictly forbidden to play interstellar network games, and as a prisoner, he didnt have such high-end treatment to go online casually.

  To say nothing of real mechs, the warden would never let a dangerous lifer drive a mech in Karl Prison, even an unarmed one.

  Lin Fei sat idly in his prison cell, today he decided to follow his fellow inmates to the Crystal Ore Base.

  At first, the Heavenly Dragon Federation chose this remote innocent star to build the Karl Prison for a reason.

  Decades ago, the first explorers discovered this desertified but breathable planet where humans could barely live, and through exploration equipment, they found that the surface of the planet had special crystal ore deposits needed to manufacture mech warship energy systems.

  However, this crystal mineral resource is scattered in the surface layer of this planet, and the total amount is not ideal, its neither too much nor too little.

  If a large mining team is sent to the planet for excavation, the profit from the crystal stones barely covers the travel expenses and high wages of the miners. If robots are sent to work instead, the energy consumption and maintenance costs exceed the value of the excavated crystal stones.

  At first for strategic reserve, Tianlong Federation was reluctant to give up this energy crystal mining planet that was discovered with great difficulty.

  For this, the high-level research decided to set up a death prison on this cheap planet and name the next planet as the Innocent Star, letting prisoners with life imprisonment go for mining tasks in harsh environments, and then provide some superior food to prisoners as compensation.

  In this way, without having to pay the high cost of mining workers wages, just spending a small amount of money to establish several mobile crystal ore mines can make it possible to mine energy crystals all over the planet. It can also provide something for prisoners serving life sentences to do and contribute to the empire.

  After decades of mining, the surface energy crystal mine near the Karl Prison of Innocence has almost dried up.

  For this reason, prisoners who are now going out to mine must take an energy transport vehicle for at least twelve cosmic hours to a distant temporary mining base.

  After arriving at the temporary mining base, prisoners work continuously for seven days in harsh desert environments to extract energy crystals and are then transported back to Kael Prison.

  Back in prison, they would get food, fruit, cigarettes equivalent to their labor amount and a small amount of wine as rewards.

  On the remote planet of Innocence Star Karl Prison, this desertified star, its not easy for ordinary prisoners to get fruits and high-quality food.

  Moreover, these excavations are compulsory for every prisoner, who must work in the crystal mines at least seven days a month. In Karl Prison, there are many prisoners serving life sentences, not dying of old age in prison but due to the harsh environment during crystal excavation.

  This time, Karl Prison dispatched ten energy transport vehicles to transport hard labor prisoners to the Crystal Mine. One vehicle was packed with twenty prisoners. Five vehicles were loaded with prisoners from the First Canteen, about one hundred people. Three vehicles were loaded with prisoners from the Second Biochemical Canteen, sixty people, and the remaining two vehicles were loaded with mechanical modification prisoners from the Third Canteen, forty people.

  Its good that Lin Fei is the boss of the first cafeteria in prison, with special care, he wasnt asked to squeeze into the prisoner transport truck emitting all sorts of foul smells by the prison guards. Instead, after being put on energy handcuffs and shackles, he was taken away on a relatively higher-end hovercraft with fifty armed prison guards.

  The fleet was driving on the desert of the Star of Innocence, and Lin Fei saw through the window of the hover transport vehicle that a long row of sand dust had been blown up behind the fleet.

  After driving for four or five cosmic hours, Lin Fei began to close his eyes and rest. The almost identical desert scenery outside the window could no longer arouse Lin Feis desire to watch.

  Lin Fei had heard from his fellow inmates that a group of foolish prisoners once rioted during transport, successfully killing some guards and gaining their freedom. However, they were met with the endless dunes of sand in the desert. Without any means of transportation, they wandered for ten days until their food and water ran out, after which they meekly returned to the Karl Prison to surrender.

  However, the final outcome of these rioting prisoners was to be hung on dozens of wooden stakes erected outside the prison gate by the cold-blooded warden, and after five or six days, they were dried into human jerky to warn other prisoners.

  After that, through the mutual warning of prisoners, there was no longer a riot event during the transportation of mining, even if some prisoners wanted to escape during transportation, they would be stopped by other prisoners with fists.

  As for the deputy armed prison guards who escorted the mining prisoners, their biggest role was not to escort prisoners. With firepower, they were there to defend against the attacks of various wild monsters that existed in the desert.

  Lin Fei arrived smoothly at the temporary crystal mine in the desert set up by the Karl Prison after sleeping for two days on a hover transport vehicle.

  Lin Fei followed everyone off the transport vehicle, shook his numb hands and feet, and began to look at the open-pit mine in front of him, which covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters and was composed of black mobile metal frames.

  Twelve high-energy cannons were installed around the mining site, and metal shields were erected, presumably to prevent external desert creatures from entering the mine and causing damage.

  Lin Fei followed the two hundred prisoners into the mining area, and saw more than a hundred prisoners waiting in front of them with small mechanical auxiliary excavators. In the corner of the mine, they took off their metal skeleton assistive devices.

  These metal exoskeletons were set up by the Empire in its early days for laborers, wearing them can increase ones strength more than tenfold, but the downside is that movement and action become slow.

  These prisoners, who had been working for a week and were looking forward to returning to prison, stood in line along with the guards escorting them, and brushed past Lin Fei and others as they got on the transport vehicle that Lin Fei and others had taken.

  Two team leaders of the prison guards exchanged a few pleasantries, and then the transport vehicle started up. With the swirling dust, the previous batch of mining convict workers began their journey back to Kala Prison.
