Him and their stars

According to Vega, all the defense needs of the merchant group are to protect the fleet and trade routes. The Tolon people have no psychic masters and have no need to design their own heraldic machine. All the scientific research projects and finished products that you see now appear to be for the heraldry machine, they are all for the downstream use of the alliance masters.

"If you are willing to connect the dots and provide support to the community and the imperial masters across the way, we are also willing." He added.

It’s just a community, why are you looking for me to connect with the empire? Yu Lian thought.

In short, whether the Toss business group had ulterior motives for joining forces or whether they wanted to become a stronger dog, it didn't have much of a problem with him now. And with these specially-made equipment, even if the integration is not as good as the original products of the empire, these two heraldic machines can quickly restore most of their combat effectiveness, and I will ask for their favor.

"Don't worry, I will provide Mr. Duba with a detailed evaluation report within three months." Yu Liandao.

Captain Vega was immediately grateful, this time it should be true.

"Of course, the premise is that I have the opportunity to wear them to fight during this time."

"I have never doubted this, sir." Captain Vega smiled: "Otherwise, how could my classmates and I be so happy to get on the ship?"

Then, there is the problem of his own titanium dragon, Zeverus.

During this period of time, Severus had probably regarded the lobby on the first floor of the bridge as his own nest. He lay there every day, except for eating and sleeping, and looking up at the bright red nebula through the porthole window. He would only move when he was occasionally summoned by Yu Lian to go to Youyou Street.

Yu Lian knew that this perverted dragon could vaguely smell the atmosphere of the Liberty Nebula in his hometown.

He remembered that he promised Severus to help him capture the little red ship and then let him go free.

However, after successfully seizing the ship, there were still 40,000 looters captured on board. There is a titanium dragon, and his size alone is the biggest deterrent to these fierce and irritable interstellar nomadic thugs. It is definitely more effective than wearing a heraldic machine and holding an atomic light spear in front of people.

Now that the raiders were gone and the captives were safe, it was time to make a decision.

Yu Lian felt that even if he didn't let him go, this timid titanium dragon wouldn't say anything. However, depression is inevitable if you stay for a long time.

"So, do you still want to go?" Yu Lian patted the titanium dragon's cheek. The touch was exactly the same as the indestructible titanium alloy, but it still had the slightest warmth.

Titanium Dragon lowered his head and looked at Yu Lian. He couldn't speak, but his mood flickered with joy.

"But, you should have grown up in the empire's dragon ranch, right? But you have never experienced the years of wild animals! Can you really do it?" Yu Lian patted the other person's forehead again.

The huge titanium dragon stretched out its blade-like wings and looked directly at Yu Lian.

The pair of pupils reflecting the red light outside the window were as calm as a solidified silver mirror, reflecting the bloody light of the Abyss Nebula, and of course Yu Lian's worried expression.

So, the titanium dragon nodded again, still calm and silent, exaggerating the noble and cool style of the holy beast to the fullest.

Well, except for Yu Lian and Feifei, everyone on the boat really looked like a powerful and arrogant holy beast like Forus. Every time they came within a hundred meters of him, they dared not show off their trembling air.

However, this time, Yu Lian did feel a little nervousness from the giant beast, but more of it was indeed longing and hope. This feeling is similar to that of those half-year-old children who left their hometown for the first time and went to college alone with their luggage, right?

At this moment, Yu Lian suddenly felt a sense of relief like an old father.

"Indeed, I underestimated you. You should belong to this nebula. Only here can you continue to be strong and evolve. Moreover, you have awakened your natural abilities. Although this nebula is full of dangers, it is not impossible to cope with it. If destiny is really on your side, you should naturally climb higher."

After all, he is the seed of Star Dragon, so he should have such ambition.

"Besides, I promised you. Since it's a man's promise, I shouldn't regret it." Yu Lian patted Long's nose again. Although he was still a little reluctant to leave, he still said: "Then, just do whatever you want with me. bring it on."

Severus paused in silence for a few minutes, and then slowly followed Yu Lian up. Although his body is huge, his steps are quite light and even a little trembling.

The friends didn't know what happened, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They could only stop what they were doing and watched the two of them enter the lower hangar.

Yu Lian put on his space suit, took the Titanium Dragon to the exit, and opened the first isolation door.

Titanium Dragon looked at Yu Lian. Now that he was about to have freedom, he hesitated a little.

"We're all here, don't shrink back. You were raised as a pet, but you shouldn't be a pet. You are also a star dragon after all. Touch the third horn growing on your forehead and tell me You have already evolved once. Then, step into the sea of ​​stars."

You must know that the universe is very large, and there are many fantasy beasts of the dragon species, but currently there are only the eight species raised by the empire that can truly be called the "genus of star dragons", which also corresponds to the eight dragon species of the Chenxi royal family. Pattern.

The reason for this is that in addition to being able to physically travel among the stars, it is also possible to awaken various spiritual talents. Every time he awakens, he will become stronger and even have slight changes in his physical characteristics. No, compared to ordinary titanium dragons, Zefres has a third horn growing out of the center of his forehead. Currently, it only has a small tip, but it has already added a bit of domineering to his overall appearance.

At the same time, the life span will be longer. You know, since they are called "dragons", they have the characteristics of reptiles. As long as Ai is alive, they will continue to grow, and there is no theoretical limit to the growth of the body.

One day, these giant dragons, which are only 20 to 30 meters tall and have a smaller combat power than most single-seaters, may really grow into the king of star dragons in another world line, who fooled Yu Lian.

The appearance of the dragon king that covers the sky and the sun is different from any star dragon that Yu Lian knows, but maybe it actually evolved from an ordinary star dragon.

Of course, all the above are just theories put forward by biologists, and there are no concrete examples to prove it. After all, dragon species, especially the eight known star dragons, are sacred phantom beasts with long lifespans, and their growth years are calculated in hundreds and thousands of years.

Currently, the longest star dragon kept by the imperial family is a rainbow dragon that has lived for 1,200 years. It is more than 400 meters long and has a huge wingspan of more than half a kilometer. It waves its wings casually. The strong winds it drives can blow away an armored division, a breath of breath can penetrate the shield and main armor of a dreadnought, and a wide-area psychic bombing can cover an airspace. The release of a wide variety of spiritual-like talents is enough to make an entire fleet feel helpless and disorganized. The key is that thousands of troops can overcome difficulties and are invincible.

With the ability of this giant dragon, if it were released into the universe, it would have no natural enemies. Let it grow wildly for tens of thousands of years, and maybe it will become a cosmic Leviathan bathed in eternal light. The star dragon king with the planet as its nest can kill skeletons on the star map left by the enlightened one. The kind of head.

Then, this dragon that could be called Him died in a battle more than sixty years ago.

The incomprehensible emperors and star knights of the empire did not want to raise a Leviathan across the star sea. They never cared about the mood of the star dragons, let alone respected their dreams. They only wanted to ride them. fight!

However, Yu Lian thinks that he is a very understanding person, because he is also a person with dreams, so he knows how to respect men's commitments and dreams.

"Go, Severus, melt into the void. Goodbye, my friend..." Yu Lian hummed while opening the outer hatch.

Zephyrus finally did not hesitate any longer, opened the steel wings that seemed to be spliced ​​with thousands of sharp blades, jumped away from the battleship, and jumped into the endless void.

At the end, the giant dragon glanced back at Yu Lian, but then suddenly accelerated, disappearing from everyone's eyes at a speed that almost surpassed the full speed of all sublight engines.

"Ah, if you die in the universe, I will definitely bury you!" In the ears and soul of Titanium Dragon, the other's singing voice still echoes. Severus felt so many emotions that he couldn't understand.

He just instinctively understood that when he could truly understand these emotions, it would be time for the next evolution.

At this time, he did feel an indescribable reluctance. Unknowingly, the horns that were just exposed on his forehead seemed to have grown a bit. Something in his mind seemed to be broken, and he suddenly became much clearer.

Titanium Dragon felt that his whole body was filled with countless comfort and relaxation. He knew that one day he might really fall down in every unknown corner of the universe as the song said, waiting for his friends to come and collect his body. But even so, it should be the life path that the Star Dragons should have.

"Bury you behind the moon, and insert an imperial knife!" Yu Lian continued to hum, watching Severus leave the range of the Throne's biological detection radar, and then sighed silently. With a sigh of relief, he returned to the cabin.

Before he had time to take off his helmet, he heard Feifei's voice ringing in the spacesuit's earphones: "I thought you were really planning to keep that dragon."

"He can be regarded as our comrade who escaped together. And in essence, he is also kind to me. How can I disrespect the dreams of my comrades?"

Yu Lian's cool operation allowed Titanium Dragon to gain spiritual awakening, but in the same way, the other party and the awakening also gave him the ability to belong to the star fantasy beast. This should be a win-win situation.

"What's more, I did make a promise to him. If I don't keep my promise, let's not say whether I will feel guilty or not. Severus may not jump back, but he will definitely be passive and sabotage, right? Maybe one day They tricked me. Although I am a person who is familiar with the Tao Te Ching, so I have a very flexible moral bottom line, but occasionally I still have to be a little reverent."

Feifei laughed brightly: "But now, everyone on the ship thinks you are an honest gentleman, a noble gentleman. Since He Long is willing to abide by his promise, he will naturally be willing to listen to others' voices. "

Yu Lian felt that Feifei seemed to have other intentions.

"Yes. Dr. Xie told me just now that some refugee representatives came to him, hoping to get off the ship after leaving the Abyss Nebula and arriving in the territory controlled by the empire."

Yu Lian was not surprised at all, this was what he had expected.

"This is their right, and we have no right to stop it." Although most of the refugees who can be taken by predators when fleeing are skilled, Yu Lian feels that he will not degenerate into robbery in any case. population level.

However, after thinking about it, he asked again: "So, what does Dr. Xie's own mean?"

Feifei said: "I'm still struggling. When he was young, he was very tight-lipped. He had many girlfriends, but he was not married and had no children. Now he has contacted his relatives in the empire, but he only has a few nephews. Son and niece.”

In other words, emotionally, he no longer has much bond with the empire.

"He himself said that he had been imprisoned in the Silver Center for eighteen years and wanted to see everywhere. Of course, I still want to listen to your suggestions before making the next decision. Dr. Xie Yiwei is the founder of Hand of Glory Shipyard If the designer is willing to stay, of course it would be a good thing. But..."

"only?"

"It's just that he is an imperial noble. Although he is only a non-hereditary third-class knight, he is also a member of the Heraldry Academy. If he leaves with us, it will inevitably cause a diplomatic incident."

"Any refugee on the ship who leaves with us will cause a diplomatic incident." Yu Lian smiled.

"Yes! But he is indeed a nobleman of the empire. Although their ancestors were from Earth, they immigrated to the empire three generations ago. Moreover, all generations have realized their ambitions and gained glory in the empire. In public and private affairs, the empire is very important to his family. They are all kind.”

Yu Lian immediately understood what Feifei meant and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Sulyuka King Brynhilt, who was in the Lion's Den Fortress, was looking at the star map of the Abyss Nebula in front of him, listening to the "Ah, goodbye, friend" voice in his head from a magical voice, and he was also lost in thought.

As one of the Electoral Emperors, although Miss Brunhildt is young, her facial expression management is so much better than that of Yu. Now everyone can see that she is deep in thought, but they cannot read any of her micro-expressions. They only know that she is smiling calmly, like a beautiful jade statue.

"This is a star map compiled through the information sent back by the long-wave detector on Shala... Zephyrus." Ostana saw the look in the emperor's eyes and immediately changed her words. A dotted line was drawn on the position of the galaxy, which immediately connected more than twenty pieces of information outside the empire's territory: "It has been determined that the positions of the gravity wells on these new channels are indeed changing with the cosmic radiation and stars. The gravity well will shift due to the shift of the map's gravity. However, if there are top-notch navigators who are strengthened through the Sorachi Array, they can capture the gravity well. Is that so? Lieutenant General Lorien?"

Vice Admiral Lorien, the chief navigator of the fleet, nodded: "I have sent Colonel Arianne Aichner to meet with Commodore Lamut and the others. Their fleet has passed through the first three gravity wells, which is enough. Prove the authenticity of this channel. As long as they pass through it a few more times, the official can record the channel data and send it to Tiangong Institute to start designing a new starry sky navigator."

Once the new navigator is completed, ordinary people as navigators will be able to find those moving gravity well signals, which means that these pathways will officially become part of the "interstellar highway network".

"In this way, the empire can directly incorporate more than thirty galaxies on this side of the Abyss Nebula into its territory." Ostana said: "This is the achievement of opening up territory! Your Highness!"

Brünnhilt was still smiling, just as he had bullied his chief of staff, but still did not speak.

Therefore, Ostana could only restrain her smile slightly and pretended to be relaxed: "It's just that the long-wave detector has stopped working just now. The science officer speculated that Severus should have traveled into the depths of the Abyss Nebula. Something blocks the signal propagation, or even damages the instrument."

"That's not important. What's important is that that guy really released the dragon. And the last message the detector in the dragon's head sent us was just this." Brynhilt sneered. Opened his own terminal. As a result, Yu Lian's wild-voiced song "Bury you behind the moon, and insert an imperial sword!" suddenly rang out on the bridge.

"I think he already knew it. So he was deliberately mocking me, what do you think?"
