I was exposed for mining on Mars

"Uh-huh."

In the control room where Kuiper led the Kasakuk mechanical ascensioners, the door opened. Luo Xiu, who had removed his exoskeleton armor and without any electronic equipment, walked into the control room that had cut off all contact with the outside world.

"Your Excellency, Ascended One, long time no see."

Luo Xiu, who had not been to this building for a long time, just breathed into the void as soon as he walked into the room.

However, Luo Xiu's question did not receive any response. Except for the lamps emitting a faint white light, there seemed to be nothing in the huge control room.

Although he did not get a response from the mechanical ascender, Luo Xiu was not in a hurry. He walked towards the center of the control room and continued: "The main fleet has been defeated, and the other two ascenders are being sent away at this time. Come here, do you think they will be as silent as you?"

"What?!"

Before Luo Xiu could finish speaking, Dasara's voice suddenly rang out.

Perhaps because he knew that he was too nervous, Dasara immediately controlled his tone and said, "Impossible, the main fleet has not continued to sail here."

Although Dasara said this, she was still worried in her heart at this time. After all, judging from her previous experience, the opponent was very powerful, and this power even exceeded Dasara's knowledge.

Since the opponent has such a strong strength, it is not impossible to defeat the super-accelerated fleet and then go to destroy the main fleet.

The main reason that made Dasara think this way was the words "two ascended ones" in Luo Xiu's words.

If they hadn't defeated the main fleet, how would the other side know that a fleet was equipped with three mechanical ascenders?

"Nothing is impossible. If he doesn't come, it doesn't mean I won't go."

Luo Xiu smiled slightly and took out a small data storage device from his pocket. This was a device specially brought in by Luo Xiu to deal with Dasara's escape. If he was facing ordinary prisoners, he would only need to use the equipment from the lunar research base. The control system only needs to transmit the required data.

"Not only the main fleet, not only the two mechanical ascenders, but also the Star Gate."

Following Luo Xiu's introduction, the data storage device was placed into an external socket in the monitoring room.

Dasara, who had already gained control of the monitoring room, immediately read the data in the data storage device when it was connected to the monitoring room.

Among the data injected by Luo Xiu, the scene of the star gate and the main fleet being destroyed by the space battleship was first perceived by Dasara. When this picture appeared, Dasara knew that what the other party said seemed to be true.

The main fleet has been annihilated by the opponent, and the Star Gate has been destroyed. Even if some ships have not been attacked, where can they escape after the Star Gate falls?

Since the opponent can easily destroy the Star Gate, the remaining fleet is just a bunch of chickens and dogs, with no room to fight back.

"Why is this happening"

After watching the whole process of the Stargate being destroyed by the space battleship, Dasara seemed a little confused. When she thought about it, the main fleet was far away from the solar system. When the information she sent back was received, the main fleet should evacuate immediately.

But now it seems that the pursuers are retreating faster than the main fleet, and they have captured all the retreating main fleet directly in front of the star gate.

"Your fleet no longer exists."

After Luo Xiu heard the sound from Dasara, he knew that the other party had finished reading the data he had given.

"The next step is the base camp of the cruising fleet."

As Luo Xiu spoke, he called up the star map of the cruise fleet base camp in the control room, "If you can hand over all the data before the cruise fleet base camp is destroyed, I can guarantee the continuation of your civilization."

Facing this Kasa Cook mechanical ascendant who can no longer communicate with the outside world and cannot obtain outside information, the only thing that can make the other party compromise is poor information.

With the scene of the space warship destroying the star gate, Luo Xiu believed that he could still restrain the mechanical ascendant.

Even if the opponent's confidence cannot be directly defeated this time, it will definitely shake the opponent's belief.

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Although he had seen the scene of the Star Gate being destroyed, Dasara was unable to accept it for a while. Thinking about it in Dasara, why did the cruising fleet, which had always been powerful and only oppressed the outside world, suddenly become like this?

As a subsidiary civilization of Cygnus Civilization, they have always felt that Cygnus Civilization is the most powerful existence. The main reason for this idea is that for a long time, no civilization has been able to challenge the Cygnus civilization, and even the cruising fleet has not encountered an opponent.

This disastrous defeat was the first for the Cygnus civilization and its cruising fleet.

"I believe that as a mechanical ascendant, you should be able to weigh the pros and cons."

"You still have a chance until I enter the base camp of the cruising fleet."

"But from the moment I step into the cruise fleet base camp, the preferential treatment for your civilization will no longer exist."

"Okay, that's it."

After a few words of coercion and inducement, Luo Xiu didn't mean to wait for the other party's answer. He turned around and left the monitoring room controlled by Dasara.

Luo Xiu had no intention of directly asking the other party to compromise. After all, as a mechanical ascender, the other party's will could not be easily defeated.

Only time can gradually wear away the opponent's awareness of resistance. This is also the reason why Luo Xiu came to hand over the picture of the Star Gate being destroyed to the other party this time. During the time when Luo Xiu left again, the mechanical ascensionist would definitely watch the picture of the Star Gate being destroyed over and over again.

And this is precisely the place that most shakes the mechanical ascensionist. Luo Xiu didn't need to persuade him personally, he just needed the other party's belief to collapse on its own.

"Buzz"

As the inner door of the control room closed, Luo Xiu also re-signed the exoskeleton armor and walked towards the outer door.

However, just when Luo Xiu took a step forward, the sound of the lunar research base control system suddenly rang.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

"Eleven minutes ago, the test ship arrived at Alpha Centauri."

"We have discovered traces of civilization in Alpha Centauri, and the main ship of the cruising fleet has also arrived in the triple star system."

There was no emotional fluctuation in the control system's report, but judging from the information sent back by these test ships, the lunar research base had definitely exploded a long time ago.

In fact, even Luo Xiu himself was shocked when faced with this sudden information. He had never thought that there was a third civilization in Alpha Centauri. In addition to this unexpected civilization, the main fleet turned its guns and fought back.

"Bring up the picture."

Luo Xiu quickly walked out of the control room's outer door and asked the control system for the latest picture of Alpha Centauri.

He wanted to know what the scene was like in this triple star system closest to the solar system.

"Okay, Commander."

After the control system responded, the images monitored by the test ship far away on Alpha Centauri were immediately transmitted to the helmet of Luo Xiu's exoskeleton armor.

In the picture returned by the test ship, among the planets in the triple star system, there are many satellites floating on the surface of a planet named Proxima b.

These satellites are obviously man-made, or the creation of civilization.

From these satellites, it can be inferred that this planet in the triple star system is nurturing a civilization that even the cruising fleet has not discovered.

And this civilization is actually so close to the solar system.

In two adjacent star systems, traces of civilization appeared at the same time, and they even developed to the extent of exploring space.

Even judging from the creations of this civilization, it seems that the other party has been able to land on Proxima Centauri C, another planet in the triple star system. This means that this newly discovered civilization is even vaguely superior in technology and was visited by the advance fleet. blue star.

"Why hasn't it been discovered before?"

Luo Xiu looked at the civilization in Alpha Centauri and thought with some doubts.

In fact, not only Luo Xiu, but also Ferma, who had just arrived in the triple star system, and the main fleet that followed him also didn't understand.

According to the past style of the cruising fleet, every star system will be detected. After confirming that it has traces of civilization, the civilization level of the civilization will be evaluated at regular intervals.

When the monitored civilization reaches the stage of exploring space, then the civilization has the opportunity to be vassalized, that is, the entire civilization has the opportunity to be moved to the base camp of the cruising fleet.

Although this is an opportunity that most civilizations would not want to have, it is a very important job for the cruising fleet.

Only a large number of civilizations that have been naturally civilized and have determined technological routes can impact the technology of the cruising fleet. It is precisely because of the different technological routes of many affiliated civilizations and the constant collision of ideas among a large number of unknown technological routes that the current cruising fleet was gradually formed.

It is precisely because of these subsidiary civilizations that the Cygnus civilization, which even the Kasakuk civilization has never seen before, still has control over many civilizations.

"This civilization obviously has the ability to mine and excavate other planets in the star system. With such a civilization, it should have been taken to the base camp long ago."

The more Fermat thought about it, the more something was wrong. He was not only confused about the emergence of civilizations in two adjacent star systems at the same time, but also about the errors in the previous star system detection.

"Retrieve the detection report of this galaxy."

Ferma stared at the aircraft that kept jumping out of Proxima b and said to the ascendant next to him.

"OK."

After receiving Ferma's instructions, the ascended person quickly searched the ship for detection data about Alpha Centauri.

These data will not be imported into the Ascended Person's database, so the two Ascended Persons cannot directly call up the detection data in their own database.

"Yes."

As semi-intelligent life forms, it is much easier for Ascended Ones to find the data they want than for organisms without auxiliary tools. In just a few seconds, the ascendant retrieved the detection data of Alpha Centauri from a large amount of data.

"Just release it." Fermat also looked away from the picture of Proxima b at this time, and turned to look in the direction of the ascendant.

‘Data calling’

'Finish. ’

Just one second later, the image of Alpha Centauri appeared in front of the eyes of the two mechanical ascendants.

This image comes from thousands of years ago, following the first exploration of the solar system by a roving fleet.

However, compared to the gains in the solar system, when the ship detected Alpha Centauri, the star system ushered in an unprecedented catastrophe.

The gravitational pull of the three stars is very subtle. Everything in the entire star system is like dancing on the tip of a knife. If one is not careful, a huge disaster will occur in the star system.

When the ships of the cruising fleet detected the Alpha Centauri star, it was caused by a gravitational fluctuation caused by the two stars Alpha Centauri B and Alpha Centauri C.

In the observation picture, the two stars gradually getting closer sandwiched Proxima Centauri b between the two stars. The energy and gravity from the two stars had a huge impact on Proxima Centauri b.

At the moment when the two stars intersected, all objects and civilization creations on Proxima Centauri b were completely destroyed. The civilization on the planet had to go underground and rely on the fortifications that had been repaired long ago to try to avoid this epic disaster.

However, the fortifications alone were unable to offset the large amount of energy emitted by the two stars at close range at the same time. What allowed them to avoid this disaster was natural evolution over tens of millions of years.

Millions of years of evolution have given this civilization the most powerful genes to withstand heat. They can even hibernate for several years when their body water completely evaporates.

This ability is simply amazing for a carbon-based civilization. It is absolutely unimaginable if humans in the Blue Star Civilization lose water.

And this civilization relied on its own unique way of evolution to avoid the huge disaster caused by two stars, and also avoided the detection of that star by the cruising fleet.

Even a cruising fleet cannot detect the situation when two stars are acting simultaneously and there are no traces of civilization or biology outside.

"Can life exist here?"

Kasakook looked at Proxima Centauri b, which was destroyed by two stars at the same time, and couldn't believe that this was a scene that appeared thousands of years ago.

How could a planet that was a desert and lifeless thousands of years ago form a civilization capable of traveling in space thousands of years later?

This star field is really weird.

The successive encounters with strange events in the solar system and Alpha Centauri made Fermat wonder if there was something wrong with his data.
