Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 11 Excavation of ancient ruins
"Boom rumble..."

As the giant engineering equipment arrived on Alpha Star, buildings that had been blown into dangerous buildings by ground-penetrating missiles were knocked down one after another.

Hu Yiyi originally thought this was an office job, but because she had the characteristics of an environmental engineer as a governor, she was required by her superiors to go to the front line to direct the cleanup.

The miserable Hu Yiyi just thought that she was freed from the fate of civil engineering construction sites all over the world. In the blink of an eye, she found that she was still destined to be ashes at the construction site. She was very disappointed.

But I have to say that Hu Yiyi is indeed a genius in this regard, and the work of clearing obstacles on the land was conducted in an orderly manner.

The heavy excavator hammered away at a certain wall in the underground city.

"Zizzizi..."

However, no matter how hard the construction workers pulled down the lever, the heavy excavator emitted black smoke crazily, and the nuclear battery was powered at full power, but the excavator's shovel still failed to move forward one step further.

There was a constant sizzling sound of the shovel and the metal colliding with each other.

"I don't believe it..."

The construction worker gritted his teeth and pulled the lever fiercely. In the end, he stood up, put his feet against the driver's platform, and found the best position to push his legs hard.

"Bang... bang."

It wasn’t the sound of the wall being dug through, but the sound of the heavy excavator’s cylinder exploding…

The construction worker was startled and looked around guiltily, as if he wanted to see if anyone had noticed this.

This machine was expensive. If someone found out that he had broken it, he might not be able to eat it, so he hurriedly took back the shovel of the excavator.

"Boom, boom..."

And with this retraction, the entire excavator's big arm fell apart with a loud bang, and the entire arm fell to the ground with a loud and dull thud.

For a moment, everyone in the entire underground construction site looked over there.

"..."

"Qin Xu, something was dug up on Alpha Planet again."

As soon as Chen Xiaomeng saw the message on the communicator, she trotted to the gym. Qin Xu had just finished exercising and was sitting there wiping his face with a towel.

Chen Xiaomeng walked into the gym, and suddenly she was stunned.

The arm-strengthening equipment behind Qin Xu was already in its highest weighted state. The piles of large iron blocks were almost as tall as Chen Xiaomeng...

Can Qin Xu pull it? Chen Xiaomeng didn't see it, but she remembered the dull sound of iron hitting the ground when she just walked over...

"What did you just say?"

Qin Xu was too involved and didn't hear it.

Chen Xiaomeng looked at the thick iron ingot slowly banging behind Qin Xu, and was stunned for a long time without reacting to Qin Xu's question.

Qin Xu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Chen Xiaomeng's eyes.

Chen Xiaomeng woke up with a start, "Ah, it's about Alpha. This galaxy has been almost explored. We have received a mission to go back to Centauri. There is an unknown building underground on Alpha."

"Isn't it built by local indigenous people?"

Qin Xu said doubtfully.

"It's because it's not, that's why the superiors asked us to go back and investigate. Judging from the information currently available, this should be built by a civilization that is much more advanced than ours. The walls of that building alone are harder than our current ones. The military armor is much harder, even hundreds of times harder than the armor of the Dawn cruiser. It’s hard for me to describe to you how weird this thing is.”

In the outer space of Alpha Planet, the Micius research ship launched three landing craft full of scientific researchers. The landing craft finally landed slowly at the entrance of the underground city that was blown into ruins by earth-penetrating missiles.

Now all the remaining Alpha people have been transferred out of the underground city.Settled in a refugee camp close to the colonial city.

When the group entered the underground city again, they could no longer see any Alpha stars. All they could see was a busy construction site.

Hu Yiyi was very happy to see her best friend again and rushed up to give her a bear hug.

Then Chen Xiaomeng held his head and pushed him away little by little, "I'm busy with work. Where are the ruins of that advanced civilization? Take us to see it."

Hu Yiyi was obviously unhappy.Then he saw Qin Xu walking so close to Chen Xiaomeng. He suddenly felt a little jealous and said, "You forget your friends after seeing sex..."

"Boom..."

"Uh……"

After a while, Hu Yiyi obviously felt more at ease after experiencing the bang, and soon led everyone to the location of the ruins.

"This is the entrance to the ruins. We have prepared red laser cannons here. If you can't find a way to open the door, then you can only blast it open with weapons."

Where Hu Yiyi pointed with his finger, everyone looked and saw a huge red laser cannon being displayed there.

The scientific researchers took instruments and scanned the gate of the ruins. Chen Xiaomeng stood in a place in the ruins that looked like a door lock. After studying it for a long time, he still didn't know its principle.

Obviously, the technological gap between the two sides is too large, and there is no way to conduct research.Finally, Chen Xiaomeng sighed, and after asking other scientists, shook his head at Hu Yiyi.

The crowd dispersed.

The red laser cannon began to charge, and the first laser shot hit the thick armored door.

"Zizzizi..."

A burst of white smoke rose after the sizzling sound, but the smoke dissipated and the door was still almost intact.

"how can that be?"

Some researchers exclaimed.Chen Xiaomeng was also stunned for a moment, and Qin Xu touched Chen Xiaomeng's shoulder in confusion.

"Isn't it normal that it can't be penetrated? Didn't you all say that these steel plates are much harder than the armor on our strongest Dawn?"

Chen Xiaomeng came back to his senses and explained: "That's not the case. Although laser weapons will be restrained by shields, they have an attack bonus of more than 50% against armor. However, now laser weapons hit armor without shields at close range. But it only destroyed less than 2% of the armor value."

Chen Xiaomeng paused and continued.

"And if we apply this kind of armor to military ships, then we can already beat the Quillacs. You must know that their technological level is much higher than ours, and they came from the wormhole. The wormhole stabilization technology is a purple technology, and the number of scientific research points required is also astronomical. Only when other basic technologies have been researched, can it be possible to study these things, which can prove the technological strength of a civilization from the side. And now there is a Civilization is better than..."

"Ah, so the Quilaks are so strong?"

"..."

Chen Xiaomeng was speechless for a moment.

"boom!"

The second red laser was fired, and this time there was obvious damage to the door, but it was still very slight.

"Can this be penetrated?"

Qin Xu finally returned to the problem.

"Of course, the opponent is just a target that can't fight back. Even if it has the strongest armor in the world, it will be slowly worn down by us drop by drop of blood."

Chen Xiaomeng said with great certainty, and then added another sentence.

"Of course, this is mainly because the shield generator of the ruins is broken, otherwise we wouldn't be able to blast it open even if we blast it for 1 years."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The red laser cannon fired one round after another without interruption. When the energy was exhausted, it would stop for a while. After it was fully charged, it would continue to fire. It continued like this for an hour or two. Finally, the huge metal door finally A hole has been melted through that can be passed through.

It can be seen that this building is really out of power, and the passage is pitch black.This can also explain why such a strong fortress is not protected by an energy shield.

After a period of exploration, a group of scientists also had their own answers in their hearts.

"This is a biological research laboratory of an ancient civilization."

Chen Xiaomeng finally made a conclusion after checking the information compiled by relevant personnel on his tablet computer.

"And as expected, this is the place where the Azjan bug was studied. With the help of the information here, I believe we will soon be able to have our own biological weapons."

Chen Xiaomeng connected a large amount of data to the communicator. Not long after, 550A completed the language deciphering work. At the same time, a new message also appeared on the communicator.

"Acquire 60% progress in intermediate gene editing technology."

"Acquire 1% progress in advanced gene editing technology."

"what!!!"

Just as Chen Xiaomeng was looking at the communicator, Hu Yiyi's scream came from the distance. The scream was so desperate and heartbreaking.

Chen Xiaomeng and Qin Xu put down their work and hurried over.

A group of heavily armed marines immediately rushed over with guns in hand. They arrived at the place where Hu Yiyi screamed before Chen Xiaomeng and the others.

"What is happening here?! Call back immediately!"

When the Marines first entered, they happened to encounter Hu Yiyi running out like crazy.

The Marines went in the opposite direction from where Hu Yiyi came. However, when they arrived at that place, the same group of scientific researchers looked at them in confusion.

The Marines and scientific researchers stared at each other.

Although the other party asked to explain the situation immediately, what is the situation?A group of scientific researchers themselves are baffled and have no way of explaining it to others.

"You, tell me what happened here immediately!"

A Marine pointed his gun at the opponent and said.

"Don't be like this, we don't know either. The Governor just walked in and we were about to say hello. She screamed and ran out. We were even shocked."

"Is it because of the genetically modified organisms in this jar?"

Another person said speculatively.

The Marines cast their gaze over and discovered that there were countless jars here, and each jar contained a humanoid creature. These humanoid creatures were all kinds of strange.

Although they all look like humans, they have been messed up by genetic mutations. Some have three hands, some have four eyes, and some have completely lost their human shape. They clearly look like humans, but they look similar. Like larger insects.

It's really scary at first glance.

The Marines put away their guns one after another, looking at each other with some confusion.

Although it still feels weird.But judging from the current situation, the Governor did scream because he saw this.

But everyone still felt that Hu Yiyi's scream just now was too penetrating, and it made their hearts tremble.

Even these deformed organisms cannot scare the Governor, who is usually careless and heartless.

The truth is that there is no way to connect these two images.
