Him and their stars

General Griffith, whose body is a large amber caterpillar, is indeed a very particular person. He said five minutes really means five minutes. When the time came, he put down what he was doing, took out a small storage chip from the terminal, and stuffed it into the gap directly in the insect joint.

It turns out that the insect body of the Pallai people also has this function! Yu Lian was amazed again.

"Sorry, I really caused trouble to you." The general said.

Isn’t that right? I have been carrying the atomic light spear and observing carefully just now! I'm afraid that a large group of quantum ghosts that can't be caught by the naked eye will really come out from the opposite side and destroy us all. This kind of psychological pressure consumes a lot of energy and shortens one’s life span! Yu Lian glared at the other party with a grimace.

"How about we discuss other cooperation plans after the matter with the empire is over? I heard that your Red Star Design Institute is applying for the technology of the country's super single crystal chip... Actually, this thing is a bit outdated. How about directly introducing raw silicon wafers?"

No! It’s not hard at all! Everything is for the future of science! Yu Lian suddenly showed a bright smile.

It wasn't really hard work. Anyway, Yu Lian just continued to use his spiritual perception to scan the situation in the opposite city. Of course, from a practical point of view, he still found nothing. There was no way to prove that the electromagnetic pulse just now was man-made, let alone the existence of this imaginary virtual ghost. In addition, he didn't even have any sense of crisis that made him nervous. He had a feeling of calm and peaceful times.

If there really is a ghost walking between reality and virtuality on the other side, it should be harmless to me now. But I don’t know that it is really just self-defense, but is it afraid of the red light spear in its hand?

In comparison, Major Poppas was naturally more nervous than Yu Lian. He always held the rifle and stared at the situation on the opposite side with all his attention. His breathing was much slower than normal, and his finger did not even lower his finger from the trigger.

From the perspective of metaphysics, Yu Lian must be sure that there must be something fishy in it. Of course, what is even more strange is that this factory has been abandoned for nearly two hundred years. In two centuries, with the empire's capabilities, wouldn't it be possible to discover that there is something fishy here?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the evil spirit was permeating the air, but after all, there were no clues now. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find another direction, so he could only return his attention to the current problem.

Major Poppas looked at the two iron lumps that were still unable to move and were more than three meters high with some embarrassment, and felt his scalp numb. He really didn't know how to pry apart these two mechas that looked extremely strong from the outside. However, we can't drag these two things away, right?

At this time, Yu Lian came over, showed his lightsaber, and without saying a word, pierced the chest of Heiros' armor. The major made a sharp intake of breath. It was the grid over there. General Riffis also trembled.

The lightsaber thing does have extremely strong cutting power against alloy armor that lacks the protection of zero elements and mysticism. However, its lethality to biological limbs is of course more intuitive. Although Black Ross is a front-line commander who has experienced hundreds of battles, he is not a psyker after all, and his physical fitness is not much higher than that of ordinary Palla people.

Fortunately, his movements were as precise and refined as those of a top surgeon, and he easily opened the cockpit door of the mecha. In addition, even the surrounding armor did not leave any traces of dissolution and burning. Then, a Palladium man with a dark carapace and even bigger than General Griffith was revealed.

The opponent seemed to be blinded by the light sword that was so close. He was trembling inside and did not dare to move for a long time. After nearly half a minute, he finally reacted, climbed out of the cockpit, and shook his big black head to Yu Lian to express his gratitude.

Don't think that the other party is not sincere enough just by nodding. You know, the heads of the Pallai people account for more than one-third of their body weight. Nodding is their most sincere gesture of gratitude. It is basically close to the human bowing ceremony.

It's a pity that the commander, Mr. Heros, is not a psyker and cannot express his gratitude in words, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble.

At this time, Yu Lian had already cut open the engineering officer's mecha, and pulled out another one, no, a slightly smaller green palladium - this is more like the green caterpillar in Pokémon - It was Mr. Jango who had fallen into a coma.

...By the way, the Pallai people are actually an asexual race. They used to rely on single eggs to reproduce, but now they are equipped with genetic technology and social upbringing. Sadly, with so many means from technology to administration being used, the population has never been able to increase. This is probably the biggest constraint restricting the further development of the Iron Army.

In short, whether in terms of life form or social attributes, the Pallarians are very different from the upright walking bisexual carbon-based mammals that dominate the galaxy.

They clearly retained many life characteristics that would be considered lower animals in natural evolution, but they gave birth to a powerful and unique civilization. This alone is even rarer than their longevity attribute.

While Yu was busy rescuing the insects, General Griffith was certainly not idle either. He waved his small tentacles that were both flexible and characteristic of the enemy, and just unloaded a bunch of parts from the back of his mecha. The next five and two are combined to form a flatbed truck.

"Put it up," the general said.

When Major Poppas put the unconscious Jango and the shocked Heiros in the car, the general jumped onto the driver's seat of the flatbed truck, buckled his half-inhabited insect body on a wheel pedal behind him, and twisted with all his strength. It touches the insect joint at the tail, as if it is twisting its butt in shame, but it drives levers, gears, chains and wheels.

The flatbed bike made an unpleasant "creaking" sound, but the forward speed was really disappointing. Anyway, it must be no less than a top-notch sports bike.

This thing is actually a human-powered vehicle... ah no, an insect-powered vehicle!

The Pallai people are really a race that prepares for a rainy day! The parts and tools that can be assembled in their outer mechas really take all possible situations into consideration.

In this way, two humans and three Pallarians abandoned three downed military mechas and fled.

As for the gain... anyway, General Griffith, the person who suffered the most losses, thought it was worth it, so Yu Lian’s lunch box must be worth it.

It took the group more than twice as long as before to finally return to the ground, only to find that there was a large group of imperial soldiers in the guard barracks. They are well-equipped and physically strong, and even in spirit and spirit they seem to be in a different style from the local security guards.

In fact, most of the stormtroopers directly under the Imperial Generalissimo's Mansion are not so elite. They were clearly members of the dozens of Guard Divisions with special banners and titles.

In short, this small base has been taken over by the Tianyu Guards. In other words, Brigadier General Ostana, the famous "Lava Sword", was the representative left by King Sulyuka on the planet Sarna, and took over.

Oh, Miss Ostana is not that famous yet, and she does not have the nickname "Lava Sword" yet. In the eyes of others, this woman is just one of the best friends of King Suliuka, a capable and intelligent lady, yet gentle and elegant, harmless to humans and animals. There's nothing I can do about it, a talented girl from the liberal arts department who speaks slowly and likes to laugh will give people this feeling.

"We came here to support you after receiving the distress signal from you." Ostana smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you all had already escaped. It's really admirable."

Her smile is indeed charming, but unfortunately her eyes are squinted like two crescent moons, which makes her look good, and she cannot feel any other emotions. It is indeed another kind of facial paralysis.

"No, actually I lost my composure." Facing the senior officers of the empire, General Griffiths immediately switched to the side of the leader of the Iron Army, and used psychic simulation to use decent diplomatic rhetoric: "Obviously your side We have been warned, but we did not take it to heart. Any danger that occurs in this way should be borne by ourselves, but now you bother to send troops, which really makes me extremely ashamed. Thank you, Brigadier General, you are An outstanding and responsible officer. Thank you to the Empire, your country is worthy of being a responsible galactic power!"

Um? Why do you always feel a bit weird about the following words? Who told me that the Palla people are actually a very frank race?

Miss Ostana continued to smile beautifully, as if she could not feel the other person's meaning at all.

Of course, General Griffith didn't seem to be entangled with this imperial officer: "This is really rude. We have to go back to our car first and sort out the housekeeping."

General Griffith and his two men brought much more luggage than Yu Lian and his party. It was an oversized armored RV, which was much larger than the Kodo that Yu Lian had played in Xinyumen. The beast shape is much larger, and it is probably enough to be used as an armored firepower platform during land battles.

If there were just three large caterpillar-like Palla people, they wouldn't have such a large living space. The rest of the space would, of course, be used to carry various tools and spare "clothes" for them.

...Indeed, according to the current habits of the Palla people, showing one's true self to others can almost be regarded as a kind of fruitfulness. The so-called housekeeping, of course, is to replace it with a new spare mecha.

Ostana nodded understandingly and made way for her: "You're welcome."

Before General Griffith left, he also expressed to Yu Lian that they would have dinner together later. Although Yu Lian didn't know how he should have dinner with a robot, considering that the Palladium people were also carbon-based animals and could at least drink some juice and eat raw snails, it was naturally difficult to refuse their kindness. .

Afterwards, Miss Ostana asked her subordinates to take Major Poppas to rest, while she politely invited Yu Lian into the soundproofed office and locked the door.

Still smiling, she began to ask in detail about the previous situation.

"You are indeed prepared!" Yu Lian was not surprised. Again, given the empire's capabilities, if there is something fishy in the factory ruins, how could it be hidden from the empire's eyes and ears? It's not news that they know, it's news that they don't know.

Ostana said: "The coordinated robot factory decided to stop production and abandon it in the 680th year of the Galaxy's common calendar. According to the existing data, the relocation of the factory at that time was very smooth and nothing happened."

This incident happened one hundred and fifty years ago, so it is basically impossible for any historical data to be omitted.

Later, the ruins of this factory have been sleeping in the underground space of the Pulse Plain. Only occasionally curious explorers would risk their lives to explore inside, but they did not cause any big trouble.

Then, it became a paradise for beasts. You must know that the underground space where the coordination robot factory is located has been artificially transformed after all. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, with moderate humidity. It has also attracted several underground rivers, and planted luminous moss and some underground plants. It has basically formed a biological All the conditions for the chain are up. As a result, wild animals began to make their homes there, including of course large beasts and predators that would cause harm to the city.

You know, the last Count Salvin was an environmentalist and a zoologist, and he let many ferocious predators from other planets roam the Great Plains.

In this case, the planetary security department could only send people to clear the items on time, and even issued a scheduled payment task to the society. Some martial arts practitioners with strong martial virtues will also form groups to go out to slay monsters, but it is also a matter of training to earn money and gain fame.

One hundred and fifty years have passed, and the information about the remains of the coordination robot factory should actually have been in the hands of the imperial government.

"General Griffith said that it is necessary to go to the site for inspection in order to build the main theme park. You can provide him with detailed information directly."

"General Griffith is a very dedicated cultural scholar. Although he is wrapped in cold steel, he still has an artist's heart full of rich emotions and passion. For an artist, cold data, How can it compare to what you can perceive with your own eyes?" Ostana said.

Okay, that does make sense, but do you think I believe it or not?

"Moreover, every plant and tree within the empire's territory is the empire's wealth, including of course all information." She added.

This means that it is okay to want information, but you must give something valuable in exchange. But it was obvious that General Griffith would rather pay a large price to let Yu Lian follow him as a bodyguard than take advantage of the imperial devils.

This Pallarian general is indeed a respectable interstellar friend!

As for Miss Ostana, seeing that the general had nothing to lose, of course she was happy to let him take people to explore the situation inside.

Of course this can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

However, this also shows that the empire has actually known for a long time that the abandoned ruins of this factory are not as peaceful as they appear on the surface.
