Returning from the abyss

Chapter 531 Where the Beacon is

After Lu Ning sent the relevant information, she tried to call BW-009 and AL-003, but unfortunately there was no response. Maybe she was busy with the team and the outpost just like she was before.

Soon, she obtained the template sent by NE-002. This kind of thing is not included in conventional weapons. NE-002 can get it either because she applied in advance, or because she has relevant knowledge.Lu Ning transferred the information to her terminal, and then set off to find the dragon vein.

At dusk, the sun is setting.It's a pity that the light of the blue giant star is very strong, so you can't see any scenery such as sunset. The sky has a clear feeling of gradual change of light and dark, but the auxiliary star seems to have appeared earlier.

This is also normal. Tianmuyi's revolution period is not exactly the same as the phantom star's rotation period. There will be some changes every day. Maybe in the first half of the year, you will be able to see the star hanging in the sky during the day. If you are eager for quick success Even if one point flies directly to another hemisphere, it can be seen now.

Longmai and Leiwang are conducting the final inspection of the satellite launcher together. It can be seen that the overall structure has been built, and now they are only calculating data and calibration.

"team leader."

"Longmai, I have two templates here."

"Oh... construction? You can give instructions directly through the construction robot, and you generally won't encounter any problems in construction."

"No, I want you to take a look first, I don't know much about it." Lu Ning passed the template over, "I need all the specifications, types and effects."

The work in Longmai Bar was handed over to Lei Wang, and he opened another computer to receive the template, but he was stunned for a moment after loading it.

"Environment modification weapon?"

"how?"

"Is it going too far?"

"At first I thought so too, but when I think about it carefully, since the B-rank Eudemons exist, the environment is of little value to us. Anyway, the outpost can operate in any environment, so it's better..."

Long Mai tapped the keyboard twice, zoomed in on the model and studied it.

"Captain, I suggest installing a tundra injector. This tidal tearing device is a bit difficult to control and requires more parameters. I can't estimate the consequences of installing it on the phantom star."

The so-called tidal tearing device will first soften the geological structure of the target area, and then adjust the tidal action between the stars through the gravitational generator. outside, thrown into space.

The tundra injector is a little gentler. It continuously injects and spreads the permafrost condensate underground, and in turn kills all living things that depend on this land through the cold and compacted soil. The climate is colder, and it is quite a special offensive weapon.

You used to joke that you couldn't level a mountain, but now you can.

"Captain, the person who gave you this thing is not easy. Habitable planets are treasures in any alliance. Even if the phantom star has many mysteries, once these weapons are used, they will be easily scrapped."

"Is the weapon itself okay?"

"There is no problem at a glance, but if you ask me to find the details, I will have to search for two days to confirm." Longmai smacked his tongue, "Your military is still more ruthless. I used to only think that the orbital fleet has this kind of destructive power. Think of the landed army is similar."

"I don't need it at ordinary times." Lu Ning waved her hand, "How's the situation of Leiwang?"

"He was a researcher before, and he was with a guy I knew. His level of knowledge is fine, and he is better at mechanical programming and quantum science research than me, but he is a little timid."

"I...I just don't think I have that much courage." Lei Wang turned his head, "Everyone thinks that they can adapt to that kind of battle before they really see that kind of battle, but only after seeing it."

"I didn't blame you." Longmai laughed, "There are countless branches in academia, let alone the battlefield? People always have things they are good at and things they are not good at. Instead of fighting head-on, you might as well help me make some long-range high-lethal weapons , it’s better not to have to go to the battlefield in person.”

"That's right, we hardly need you to fight here. Lei Wang, by the way, take care of the needles. With you here, I can also let Longmai follow me to do some other research work. I welcome you very much."

"...Captain, I want to ask you something." Lei Wang thought for a while, and then said, "About the Phantom Star virus that was publicly released before... Is there anything wrong with us?"

"According to the latest information, you are all right. Although we have not yet grasped key information such as the origin of the virus and the route of infection, we at least know what the person who got sick looks like, and you have not yet shown similar symptoms."

"Ha... It's still an unreassuring answer." Lei Wang was a little helpless.

"The answer to give you peace of mind is to deceive you. Doing so will only bring troubles in the future. I think you are much more sober, and you should be able to accept this."

"To be honest, fighting head-on is more terrifying than the illusory virus." Lei Wang shrugged, "Thank you for telling me this. I wish you success in your work, Captain."

Lu Ning nodded, stepped onto the spaceship, and began to access the incoming shared signal input module through the dragon vein.The area required for the two weapons is not small, and it is necessary to find a flat place for this kind of mountain construction. She clicked on the map to find a suitable location, and when she zoomed in and out, she suddenly felt her feet shaking slightly.

"Ok?"

"Captain, it's an earthquake. We don't have a global earthquake monitoring network, but we can sense the location and estimate the magnitude." Long Mai quickly explained in the team's voice, "There is no problem with the satellite launcher, and the vibration we encountered here is very small."

Lu Ning cut into the world map of the outpost, and replied: "Everyone continue to work at hand, ignore this earthquake for the time being, I will follow up the follow-up."

"learn."

According to the data fed back by the instrument, a red line and a red circle were quickly marked on the map. The earthquake was far away, even crossing half a continent. Pass it here.

NE-002 can give itself some terrible weapons, but it is hard to guarantee that others also have some secret weapons, not to mention the unpredictable existence of tourists!

At this time, an email was sent, encrypted, and the marked location was exactly the location of the beacon discussed with NE-002.Lu Ning decoded it with the key and marked it on the map, but found that it happened to be in the same direction as the vibration.

"NE-002, this is DU-003, please answer!" She immediately connected to the communication channel of the spacecraft.

Five seconds later, the communication was connected.

"I know what you are going to ask, but this is not the beacon I gave you, it is a place farther away."

"This kind of earthquake that spread across a continent must not be a natural phenomenon, right? That place is not a plate junction." Lu Ning asked with a frown.

"If you want to know what happened in that location, I can help you ask, but it will take a long time. I don't have that much time to investigate this kind of thing now."

"Oh?"

"I know your doubts, but this planet is not only my team that is rapidly expanding the investigation, there are some things that need to be taken first."

"NE-002, you also know something." Lu Ning's tone slowed down a bit, "Before you said that I have been in contact with those civilizations, then you must have been in contact with them, otherwise why do you have to be ahead? Normal Said that whichever team finds out will report it.”

"I don't believe in personal judgment, and I have no right to ask you to gather information to me. If you must ask, then I can tell you, yes, I have already investigated a ruin."

"I want some information, I want to know what we are going to face."

"can."

After a while, a group of photos was sent, with some translated text on it.Lu Ning looked at the building, and was stunned for a moment. The whole building is made of dark golden metal structure. Simple and powerful patterns can be seen in many places, which can make people feel the will to fight inside at a glance, and there are even A weapon rack with shotgun-like weapons that are as uniform as standard equipment hangs on it.

These are not shocking. The problem is that the architectural style, drawing style, etc. are completely different from the previous Observer civilization.

"Through parsing part of the language and text, I can roughly understand the records they left on a metal book. This building belongs to an organization... called 'Rangers', or civilization. They don't have a chronology, so they can't guess The specific age. But there is such a narrative in it, they found that this planet is suitable for turning into a temporary planet, the only drawback is that the brilliance from the stars is too dazzling, so they smashed a planet, using the crushed small Planetary belts filter some of the light, creating habitable conditions."

The corner of Lu Ning's mouth twitched.

It is not difficult to crush a planet. The technology of the Canglong Alliance also has many ways to destroy planets, but if the purpose of crushing stars is to turn a planet into a stable asteroid belt and filter out light beams, it is still impossible. thing.

"It's really a heroic race."

"Yes, and this building was hidden on the planet by this race through a technological means called 'eyes'. Now that this means has failed, we can see it. The beacon I gave you is through the inspection of the building. They can read the wavelengths unique to objects, and then search for similar wavelength bands on the entire planet to locate them. I can guarantee that there are no 'rangers' on this planet, otherwise we won't even be indifferent when we enter the garrison point. "

"Okay, in this case, this beacon location should indeed be checked. I will probably leave after building the weapon."

"I wish you well." NE-002 cut off the communication after finishing speaking.

"More than one civilization..." Lu Ning sat on her seat and pondered. She thought that the Observer was old enough, but she didn't expect there to be a Ranger.Will there be a third civilization?The Observer died and the Rangers left. Is there any connection between the two?As for the earthquake, NE-002 obviously knew something, but avoided it with other topics. Could it be that the place where NE-001 performed its secret mission?
The robot on the screen has already carved out an open space where she has chosen, and begins to extract components from the outpost and begin to assemble weapons.Lu Ning only glanced at the project there occasionally, and her main thoughts were still in this scene.

Phantom Star Syndrome, the subject of the scene.What danger does it have?Where does it exist?There is no clue at all, all the information is sideways, and there is never a frontal explanation of its specific characteristics.

Lu Ning felt a little irritated, she walked out of the cabin, just in time to see the fire.

The bright orange flame quickly turned bluish white, and the thrusters roared loudly, sending smoke around the launcher.Longmai and Leiwang are not surprised by this scene at all. Launching a satellite is not an exciting thing nowadays, and there is no need to even report.Lu Ning raised her head and watched that spot of light gradually rushing up into the night sky, pounced towards the stars, and gradually became similar to those blurred and flickering stars.

"Seven hours later, enter the scheduled orbit, Captain." Longmai turned his head to see Lu Ning, and then said, "It is estimated that tomorrow morning we can send back a quick image."

"Thank you, rest early." Lu Ning nodded to the two of them, and walked towards the outpost.

Robots can build weapons tomorrow, so she still has a few things to do before she leaves.

"Bayonet, spades, blue bird, empty valley, clarinet. Prepare equipment today, and we will go on a long journey tomorrow."

At this time, in a fortress-like metal building, two teams were slowly moving along the metal descending stairs.

"I said Team Sun, this is definitely a relic of a different civilization, do we really want to continue exploring inside?" The person in the front asked in a private channel with a somewhat drawn tone, "With our little equipment, we can Can't get in?"

"Xiang Yi, don't play tricks on me." The captain who was questioned by him was not polite, "I know what kind of rotten person you are, I just don't care about your tricks. You proposed to come in, why are you retreating now? ? Could it be that you found something that you want to swallow for yourself?"

"Oh, you really can't speak." Xiang Yi grinned, "We're working together."

"Among your group, you are the least worthy of cooperation."

"Hmph." Speaking of this, Xiang Yi didn't bother to pretend, and said bluntly, "I already understand the situation of this place... No, I also have a general understanding of the situation of this scene, you surnamed Sun If you want to complete your revenge on that dead woman here, you have to listen to me."

"Just because of you?" Captain Sun sneered, "Even if this planet blows up, you may not be able to kill Du Xieyi. I know you are a little clever and ruthless, but you want to kill her with these things? A person who can kill her in a pure ghost scene?" The one who digs hell out of here, she can turn these schemes of yours into rubbish by sheer luck."

"I really don't know Du Xieyi as well as you do." Xiang Yi said in a gloomy tone, "but I know good people very well. It's like she left you alive just because you don't need to die, and doesn't consider your future revenge...good people , there will always be a lot of weaknesses."

"……yes?"

"Captain, team members, the alliance behind them, the collision of civilizations. Good people like to take unnecessary responsibilities, even if they are crushed to death, they will never tire of it." Xiang Yi ground his teeth.
