From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 311 Puppet Master
If Sartre Ison was asked to describe the ruins left by the 'Forerunner Civilization' where he is now, he would say that this is a 'guardian' who has been waiting silently for millions of years.

Because it strictly implements the instructions left by the forerunners and protects the things inside the ruins.

But at the same time, it is waiting for latecomers like the Search for Truth Foundation to reopen its doors.

Because the items and technologies preserved in the ruins of these forerunners were originally meant to be left to 'predestined people' like them.

This is the conclusion that Sutter Ethan came to after participating in many explorations of Forerunner ruins as the 'field executive deputy' of the Quest for Truth Foundation.

In the "scientific expedition team" dispatched by the Quest for Truth Foundation, the two people responsible for front-line command are the "field executive officer" and the "field executive adjutant".

The former is responsible for the command of the entire operation and directs the troops to fight when encountering danger, while the latter - the role played by Sater Ison - is responsible for the internal exploration, decryption and technology acquisition of the Forerunner ruins.

Although the "scientific expedition team" led by him is not large in number, each one is a professional who has made certain achievements in the field of studying "Forerunner Civilization".

The 'hidden ruins' discovered by the Quest for Truth Foundation near Wang Liangsi this time are also the largest Forerunner ruins that Sater Isen has seen in all his years of 'working'.

The appearance of the ruins seems to be completely natural to Sart Isen. If it were not for the shape of a standard rectangular parallelepiped, it would be difficult for him to even believe that it is a kind of 'creation'.

Just as Amber had guessed before, the Quest for Truth Foundation has mastered the methods to open these ruins after exploring a large number of Forerunner ruins.

Because so far, all the ruins of the Forerunner civilization that have been discovered have the same 'runes', and those ruins with relatively complete 'runes' are also in operation, so in the eyes of Sartre and others, this thing is not the same as human technology. The 'circuit' in the tree has similarities.

In this ruins with a short axis length of 40 kilometers, the area of ​​each layer is similar to that of a medium to large city.

The ruins that lost the protection of the 'refractive layer' soon revealed their true colors - there were 'rune'-like patterns on their surfaces made of a large number of unknown materials.

In the interior space, the light source comes from light strips embedded in the walls. They are soft and not dazzling, illuminating the intricate passages and huge halls.

Therefore, this advanced 'gravity control technology' is also something that the Quest for Truth Foundation has always wanted to master.

This technology is completely different from the technology in which humans use centrifugal force to create a gravitational environment in space, and it can be said to be worlds apart in terms of efficiency.

These 'runes' vaguely reflect a strange light under the starlight, and seem to contain profound information, but no one can decipher it.

Unfortunately, they have not been able to obtain it in the Forerunner ruins so far.

Originally, this forerunner ruins have been under the cover and protection of the 'refraction field', and this thing has been around for millions of years since it was opened.
If it had not been discovered by the Foundation this time, it is very likely that this ruins would have been hidden.

According to Sater Isen's experience, this ruins should be the same as the previously discovered Forerunner ruins, with each layer having different functional divisions.

Based on the experience gained from opening other ruins before, the foundation's scientific research fleet violently blasted away this 'refractive layer'. According to Sater Isen's guess, it was the fleet's firepower that allowed this layer of force field to enter. A state of overload disorder.

When the on-site executive officer, whose real name was unknown and only known as the 'Puppet Master', confirmed that the ruins were safe, a group of people from the Foundation also entered the ruins through the door that was opened inside the open platform.

However, Sutter Ethan and his "scientific expedition team members" believed that this "rune" was the unique energy management technology of the Forerunner civilization.

And each layer has its own 'gravity control', allowing people to easily shuttle through it.

Life, R&D, production, experiment.
When these different functional divisions appeared in the same ruins, the first thing Sater Ethan thought of was that these ruins should also be some kind of 'scientific research sites' left by the Forerunner civilization?
After everyone entered the Forerunner civilization facility for a certain distance, the on-site executive officer 'Puppet Master' confirmed through the terminal that the surrounding environment was suitable for human survival. A Foundation soldier next to him opened his tactical visor.

After a while, he gave the others an 'OK' gesture, and everyone turned on their tactical visors or helmets.

At the same time, these soldiers of the Quest for Truth Foundation also showed a different side from others in the team - everyone's eyes and upper parts have been modified. The original human eyes and forehead were replaced with a 'line-shaped' eyepiece that emitted red light, and a 'Tianling Cap' that had a certain metallic texture.

Although Sartre and the rest of the scientific expedition team glanced at these soldiers uncontrollably, they quickly looked away.

Everyone knows that these Foundation soldiers are different from ordinary people, but no one has ever stood up and said anything.

After joining the Quest for Truth Foundation, 'Do what you have to do, don't ask and don't care about other things' has become an iron rule in life.

At this moment, Sartre saw the 'Puppet Master' walking at the front suddenly stop. This action caused the artificial nerve cord behind him to sway like a whip, while the Foundation soldiers around him were advancing in a tactical formation. At the same time, he stopped and looked around.

"What's wrong?" Sutter stepped forward and asked. As the field operations adjutant, he also needed to understand the current situation in real time.

The 'Puppet Master' did not answer Sartre's question. Wearing a metal mask, he slowly scanned the surroundings, and fleeting blue lights flashed on the artificial nerve cords behind him.

That is the light of psychic energy.

After a moment, the 'Puppet Master' stopped scanning the surroundings, but ignored Sater Isen. Instead, he said in a low voice: "Keep moving forward" while walking towards the depths of the ruins.

Sater Isen was not surprised by his attitude, especially after knowing that the other person was a psyker during their first meeting.

+1 for psyker stereotype.

At a certain distance behind the team, Amber quietly breathed a sigh of relief inside the power armor.

The on-site executive of the Quest for Truth Foundation was more vigilant than he thought. The slightest disturbance would arouse the other party's vigilance.

He just followed a little closer, and the other party swept directly over with a psychic wave.

If Amber hadn't reacted quickly, completed the deconstruction of the psychic wave and turned on the cancellation at the moment of being swept, this might have been discovered.

"As expected of you, the quality of this psyker is almost as good as the Royal Silencer of the Star Dragon Empire."

Amber complained silently as she continued to move forward carefully.

The Quest for Truth Foundation is definitely not as strong as the Star Dragon Empire in terms of overall strength, but because they dig more ruins, they have mastered some of the advanced technologies of the Forerunner civilization with a vague understanding of them.

Especially in the research on psionic energy, they are actually ahead of other forces. This is why when facing the Quest for Truth Foundation in the game, the density of psykers in their team is much higher than that of other human forces.
Just as Amber was recalling the memories of this foundation in her mind, the team in front also walked to a place similar to a console.

The sharp-eyed Sartre immediately saw something like an 'operation terminal' in the middle of the console.

Then, Amber saw this middle-aged man who was a little fat and muttered, 'Eh? What does this button do? ', walked to the console and started operating.

As a result, the next second, the soft light strip nearby suddenly turned into a warning dark red.

Sounds like 'alarms' also sounded around.

"Fuck! What Zhou Zhuo."
