How Did It Become a River Crab?

Type of ship: Improved version [Executioner] class frigate

Classification: Class III Civilian Research Ship

Crew: [Mo Lan], [Xingji], [Wei Luo], [Endas], [Giant Claw Crab] X18, [Big Claw Crab] X35, [Wonderful Frog Seed] X1, [General Mechanical Creature] X1

Ship equipment: dual light focused laser X2, ultraviolet laser emitter X4, damage control system X1, armor repairer X1, micro-jump thruster X1, plasma thruster X2, standard shield generator, porcelain-gold composite armor.

According to Endas, the equipment on this frigate is basically at the top level of the military of the Star Fox Church, six laser weapons, and a number of combat auxiliary devices, which make the combat effectiveness of this "research ship" far exceed expectations. If it was this ship that was chased and killed by the space whale, the female space whale should have suffered heavy damage on the way to kill the adulterer.

Although the process is very... tortuous, but all in all, the current Mo Lan has completed his initial mission in the universe of stars: to find the two missing users, and as mentioned in the main mission, the largest mysterious farm in the universe [Big Apple] After making preparations, we got a ship with sufficient strength and gathered a group of capable crew members. Next, it was time to start the main mission.

On the brand new bridge, Wei Luo gathered Mo Lan and others together and began to announce his next plan: "We have two tasks now, one is to assist the descendants to find the traces of the other two descendants who are missing , and the second is to continue the cause of our private scientific research ship and work hard to find the [Big Apple], and no matter what it is, we are now missing a prerequisite: the authority level."

"Let me briefly explain to the descendants that our unofficial personnel spontaneously organize ships to investigate and explore various wonders and secret places in the universe. They are called [civil research ships], and the official name is [private exploration team], which is Star Fox It is a derivative of the law issued by the Church in recent years to encourage the free exploration of the universe environment by the people."

"Just like before the space age, if humans wanted to colonize and discover other unknown lands and natural wonders, they needed to form expeditions to explore the secrets. In today's space age, scientific research ships with teams of scientists are also needed to explore. Frontiers.

The scientific research ship will venture through the unknown hyperspace channel at the end and fly to unknown star systems to find habitable planets that can be colonized, cosmic resources that can be exploited, and even various relics, secrets and cosmic wonders to transform them It is a technology that can be developed and utilized by the country. "

"A few years ago, this work was still an official patent, but in recent years, with the increasing number of relics and cosmic wonders, the cosmic civilizations of the second galaxy are already busy. Technique, it can't be explored at all.

Therefore, some civilizations, including the Star Fox Sect, were inspired by ancient private sea expeditions and formulated the Act of Free Exploration of the Cosmic Environment, allowing ordinary citizens to set up private exploration teams after registration and identification to find All kinds of secrets, and then hand them over to the country in exchange for money and various welfare rewards. Our advertising space rental account is one of the private teams. "

"Brother Mo Lan, you must be able to guess that this second galaxy has experienced a very large-scale destruction of civilization, and there are naturally many dangerous technologies and unknown hidden dangers hidden in it. In order to prevent any hydrocephalus research team from The wonderful operation of Bo made a big event, sending the whole galaxy to the sky in an instant. Not only did every scientific research ship have to report every action, but the Theocracy also set authority levels for all civilian scientific research ships, which were brought by a certain descendant. It is graded from I to V."

"Level I can only do some logistics, clean up the cosmic garbage in the safe zone, and pick up some idle work such as private goods provided by the Merchant Alliance. We were at this level before. Level II can go to those known star areas to assist in some resource exploration , Hyperspace channel statistics and other work, while Level III, which is our current level, is qualified to handle miscellaneous tasks on some known planets, such as cooperating with the investigation of ruins, assisting in resisting surface disasters, etc. "

"Only at level IV can we really have the right to [exploration], and some hyperspace waterways in the archives of the Star Fox Theocracy will be opened to us. Only after this level can we pass through those that have not been investigated clearly The hyperspace channel, crossing to those completely unknown galaxies for adventure."

"Obviously, whether it is the traces of the two descendants or the legendary [Big Apple], they are all going to these unknown galaxies to find them. Now that the information is extremely insufficient, we can only find them by constantly crossing the unknown waterway." , to explore unknown galaxies to obtain any possible information, and to do this, we must complete a prerequisite: upgrade from level III to level IV."

Wei Luo picked up the FOX48 co-branded water glass next to him, opened the glass with the attitude of a very veteran cadre, shook his head slightly and blew on the hot water, took a sip, and found that his sunglasses were fogged, he pulled it off and rubbed it on his clothes twice, continuing while rubbing Dao: "The event reward of Lao Shizi's silver heart made us upgrade to Level III authority in a wave, and we have Brother Mo, the descendant on our ship, who gave us a limited-time experience value gain BUFF, so now we only You can directly upgrade to level IV by doing another surface cooperation mission on a known planet.”

"Why don't you just play RPG with me here?" Mo Lan asked with eyes wide open, "So have you found the mission?"

"Of course." Wei Luo nodded confidently, and took out a small thing from the pink pocket of the limited jacket of the FOX48 joint girl group.

"This is it."

"...here's a picture of you with a robot with a projector."

"Oh, I got it wrong. This is the love photo of me and MMT-1131 sauce, this is it." Wei Luo took out another chip and stuffed it into the imaging system that comes with the bridge.

Soon, a gray planet was projected in the center of the bridge.

"[Anyue], one of the border mining planets of the Star Fox Theocracy, is rich in mining resources, especially a high-energy mineral called [Beserian Ore], which can convert amazing energy. It is an important mining area and can be lived in, but the environment is not good, and the residents are basically mining and metallurgy engineers and their families. The total population is only about [-], and it is truly a sparsely populated place."

"Because of its remote location, in order to manage more conveniently, the Star Fox Theocracy put a fully automatic AI governor here half a year ago. This intelligent center will work with the mechanical security forces and construction forces under its rule to build the planet and maintain While the planetary security is stable, development planning and execution is equivalent to a management government composed of AI."

"I see." Mo Lan nodded and said, "So what's wrong?"

"The problem lies with the governor. I don't know if it's stuck or has a virus. In the past two months, things have gone crazy. The good mines stopped mining. All the mines were suddenly demolished, and they started to go crazy all over the planet. Construction of farm divisions, crazy farming, that place was originally a mining area, and many minerals also have properties similar to radiation, and as a result, a bunch of weird and weird crops were grown."

"What's even more exaggerated is that this AI not only controls the planting, but also forces all residents to eat the food it grows under the pretext of prohibiting wasting food. All residents will be gathered in the giant eating area it built and forced to eat the food made by robots Not only that, they even let the residents eat the relatively non-toxic parts of the ore, making the residents crazy about picking stones every day, and their physical fitness is getting worse day by day, which is miserable."

"Shouldn't this be reported to the Theocracy immediately, or directly shut down the AI ​​governor?" Mo Lan wondered.

"The problem is that it can't be done. Although this AI governor is doing very strange things, he is very well prepared. It blocks all external communication devices of the planet, and pretends to be a temporary zoning adjustment to the outside world. In addition, this place is too biased. The priority It’s not high, and it avoids most of the interstellar contacts. Until recently, a mining company couldn’t sit still and took the initiative to send people to contact them. Only then did I find a way to contact the surface and learned about this matter."

"Our task is to investigate the situation first before the official troops of the Star Fox Sect, conduct a long-distance investigation outside Anyue, and communicate with the Sect officials in real time. When the officials come, our task will be basically completed gone."

"In other words, to investigate the mentally handicapped AI governor outside the earth?" Mo Lan nodded, "It sounds like a starfish, so it's decided."

"Advertising space rental number, ready to sail!"

The crab-shaped Executioner braked the ship in the starry sky with a prostate (rear thruster on the finger side), turned around, and headed towards the galaxy where Anyue star was located.

"...so where did we go?"

"Oh, I blindly pointed to the direction of J8." Wei Luo said to himself.

"As expected of you!"

Five days later, another star system around the star system where [Anyue] is located.

From the galaxy where [Roulette] is located to here, it took a total of three hyperspace jumps, and it took a full five days. During these five days, Mo Lan spent 95% of his time in the one-way time machine. The physical sensation is only five or six hours.

At this moment, Mo Lan walked out of her crab house, slid all the way to the position of the bridge, passed through the automatic door, and saw Xingji standing under the transparent dome of the bridge, standing beside the telescope set she bought, humming A sweet country folk song, observe the surrounding stars and sea.

"Mr. Mo Lan, are you awake?" Sensing Xie Ba's footsteps, Xing Ji turned around and raised his skirt to salute Mo Lan, "I made you tea, the calming scented tea I bought on the roulette, and the warmer next to you in the cup."

"Ah, okay." Mo Lan nodded and asked, "I've got something to ask you. I just heard from the crab on the road that you changed the layout of some rooms on our ship?"

"Yes." Xingji nodded, "I found that the layout of some rooms is too dangerous, and it also conflicts with the overall shape of the ship. In order to reduce the negative energy in the ship, I simply changed the more dangerous layout."

In the voice of the original game, Xing Ji showed off her knowledge of Feng Shui. Although Mo Lan didn't expect that she could bring this skill to TM on the spaceship, she is not too surprised to hear it now.

"That's not a problem, but the problem is...you're a bit exaggerated." Mo Lan sighed, "In the crew dormitory, the A03-style door is a metal wardrobe. To enter the door, one must first get into the wardrobe and then climb out from above. The bed in room C04 is on the wall. The big claw crab felt like it was tied up like SM when it was about to sleep. It was almost mistaken by the roommate for a contrast crab. The toilet in room B08 was moved to the ceiling, and the crab could only burst Just imagine, connect the toilet with a hot water pipe, and take a hot bath there every day..."

"┭┮﹏┭┮Yes, I'm sorry, but it's the first time I saw furniture that can go up to the sky and into the earth, and I really couldn't hold back...I guarantee that the negative energy placed in this way is the smallest!"

"Forget it, anyway, according to the crabs, the more exaggerated the layout of the room, the more mysterious and comfortable it is to live in. It is probably because of your feng shui." Mo Lan sighed, "This telescope set is easy to use Is it?"

"Thanks to you, it is very easy to use." Xingji blinked: "This set of telescopes far exceeds the best astronomical telescopes I have ever seen in Terra, no matter in terms of accuracy or optimization of details. It is not an exaggeration to say that condensing those giant astronomical telescopes into this small group, and multiplying all the data several times."

"This instrument can accurately see the surface of many relatively close planets. It also has its own grouping, classification, and positioning functions. It can perform intelligent positioning according to the area where the user is located, so that it can be continued in any star system. The previous observations, imaging effects... ah..." Xingji said a lot, and suddenly realized that he was a little excited, stopped immediately, bowed his head and said in embarrassment: "It is indeed a work beyond imagination, thank you again Your generosity."

"Small question, did you see anything special?" Mo Lan asked with a pinch. "Have you discovered a new galaxy or something?"

"I saw a lot of interesting planets. However, all the star systems that can be seen so far have been discovered and named. After all, it is the age of galaxies. The star fields around civilization have roughly been explored." Xingji poured a cup of tea and put In front of Mo Lan, holding the cup in his hand, he took a sip carefully, "But compared with stargazing on the surface of Terra, the biggest difference is... [Curtain]..."

"Curtain?"

"I found out before that when observing stars in different galaxies, I found many stars that were visible in the last galaxy, but in this galaxy I can only see a piece of darkness, as if it disappeared when I looked at it from another place." Xingji Road.

"I checked later and found that it was because there were many dark shadow areas among the galaxies in the second galaxy, which seemed to be relics left by the previous civilization. Because of these dark shadows, many galaxies can only be observed in specific areas , It’s like a black [curtain] is drawn between the stars.”

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Dark Sky... Mo Lan complained in his heart: "In other words, whenever we arrive at a galaxy with an unknown condition through the hyperspace channel, we may find some hidden among the old galaxies, [Curtain] Hidden galaxy?"

"That's right. Perhaps, there are still many unknown galaxies hidden by curtains in the star map of the Star Fox Theocracy, waiting for us to discover and develop." Xingji nodded, rubbing his chest and said: "From this point of view... I really hope to go to the end of those unknown channels."

After all, he is an astrologer.

"There will be a chance." Mo Lan put her face into the cup, sucked wildly, and drank the tea, "Damn it, good tea!"

"I tried it one bite at a time on the roulette, and I think this one is the most suitable for our surface people, as long as you like it."

"I'm interested, have you found any interesting planets?"

"Yes!" These words were like a spell, making Xingji's eyes shine, his high-heeled shoes made a drumbeat on the ground, and he ran back to the telescope, waving his tail feathers and beckoning to Mo Lan: "Please come here!" see this!"

This looks like a little sister who found a conch on the beach and asked her parents to see it. Naturally, Mo Lan would not refuse. She climbed up the steps, pulled the crab's eyes upwards (refer to Mr. Crab and the dumbbell crab), and began to look Xingji called out the planets for him.

"Why is this planet pink?"

"[Sakura Sea] star, it is said that it looked like this when it was discovered. The surface is covered by a large sea of ​​pink flowers, and the environment is very suitable for survival. It is now a well-known tourist planet in the Star Fox Kingdom. It is said that there are tens of millions of tourists at the same time. Woolen cloth."

"What is this brown planet that looks like a croissant?"

“[Crescent moon], it is said that it was pulled by the gravity of the surrounding galaxies to become like this. There are many silicon-based life forms on it, and it is still in the middle ages. It is said that it looks like a group of stone men fighting with bones planted. It is very interesting. of."

"Why is there a [funny] face on this planet?"

"[Smile], it was like this when it was discovered. Some people speculate that it was caused by the geographic correction of the previous civilization."

"There are no surprises, there are no surprises!"

Mo Lan and Xing Jikang, the little Xing Xing, who had been healthy for more than ten minutes, were just about to go back to the room to open a shot of Isaac, and spend the last time to reach [Anyue] star, but he just turned around, and the transparent curtain in front of the bridge side It was suddenly canceled, and it was restored to a cold and hard steel curtain wall. The holographic projection was projected from the curtain wall, showing a picture of a planet.

In Mo Lan's impression, this projection device is used to watch the official news of the Star Fox Theocracy. Erxinghe is exploring around, it is very important to regularly watch the country's scientific research trends.

But in Mo Lan's impression, this kind of equipment will not actively play any impact. According to the second galaxy related information manual given by Starchaser, this kind of news projector will only actively project under one situation.

...when a major event [affecting the entire Theocracy] occurs.

Xing Ji, who was familiar with the equipment operation manual on the ship, also understood what the scene in front of him represented, and the two stopped talking immediately, and turned their gazes to the holographic projection news at the same time.

In the picture is a planet quietly floating in the universe, and the two recognized it immediately. It is the [Sakura Sea] they observed in the astronomical telescope just now, the tourist planet belonging to the Star Fox Sect.

At this moment, this planet is... [Transformation]...

The original spherical surface of the planet was constantly cracked, and a large amount of magma-like fluid overflowed from it. The magnificent pink surface was cut into fragments by fiery red cracks, and it looked like a pink candy that was crushed with a hammer.

This star, which is only a little smaller than the earth, is being eaten away by the gushing cracks and disintegrating. Soon, [crack] can no longer be called a crack, and the lava-colored cavity has already occupied the vast majority of the planet. Part of the area, the pink color that covered the entire planet a few minutes ago, has now turned into an isolated island in the molten sea of ​​hell, shrinking, changing color, and losing the last trace after tens of seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the fragmented fiery red planet began to shrink inward, like a ball of plasticine being squeezed inward by someone, and then kneaded a little bit to shape it. It stretched outward from a small circle, solidified, and finally turned into a A flaming pyramid.

In the end, the pyramid transformed from this planet slowly cooled down and completely condensed into a huge, iron-gray, lifeless drifter.

The planet is destroyed.

"..."

Mo Lan lowered his head and glanced at the news introduction. This was a picture taken [-] minutes ago. On the morning of the local time, an extremely exaggerated temperature rise suddenly appeared on the surface of Ying Haixing. I have tried my best to rescue the local residents and tourists, and saved as many lives as possible before the planet began to completely deform. In the end, according to statistics, there are still six figures of civilians who disappeared with the planet and were left forever in this iron gray in the pyramid.

This is a complete sudden incident. No one knows what happened. At this stage, no scientist can give an explanation for this incident. There have been no abnormal phenomena on this planet before. The detection data has never been a problem.Everything happened so quickly that at this moment, even the Theocracy's government might be in a state of violent shock.

Mo Lan and Xingji looked at the iron-gray pyramid quietly floating in the holographic projection in silence, then turned their heads suddenly, and adjusted the astronomical telescope to the direction of Sakura Starfish.

In the field of view of the telescope, the pink planet is still floating quietly in the galaxy.

The propagation of light takes time, and the distance between galaxies is often recorded in light years. The cherry starfish seen in the telescope today is a phantom from the past.It is several light-years away from Sakura Starfish, and until a certain moment after several years, the residents of this galaxy will see through the astronomical telescope the final struggle and mourning of this planet after several years of absence. .

At this moment, Mo Lan inexplicably felt a coolness coming from the back of his neck. His willpower was not bad, and the weird horror that made his scalp tingle quickly dissipated from his mind, leaving behind a deeper love for this galaxy. vigilance and vigilance.

This is a deep space where anything can happen, both opportunity and destruction.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

A tourist planet turned into a pyramid shape inexplicably. An incident of this level naturally quarreled Endas and Wei Luo who were resting. When Wei Luo walked into the bridge, Endas biaji fell from the ceiling After coming down, it was only then that Mo Lan and Xing Ji discovered that this B had been sleeping on the ceiling at the back of the bridge...
