Xiling Empire

After some inquiries, I knew where Li Lina and the puppet had run-they really chased quite far, in fact, the two girls even ran all the way to the ice-rock planet closer to here ... … Okay, we do n’t discuss the movement of the children of the fairy family. The point of the problem is that they saw the remains of the hometown material on the icestone planet, and there were even corpses in the remains!

The little puppet is incapable of distinguishing what is the material of the hometown. She did not put those strange radars in her body, but Lirina is more or less an "adult who needs to do business." (Discussion), she took a detector from Tavel to test the substance in her hometown, so she was 100% sure that on the planet twelve astronomical units away from this place, there was a suspected emergency landing site-once A group of Schilling ancestors made a forced landing there, and their bodies have survived to this day.

I know this is unbelievable. The creator of the Apostles of the Spirit has been extinct for a long time since the extinction of the Protoss. No worldly material has survived such a long period of time, let alone a mortal body. Something that will only die in a few years. In the end, the creators are just a group of mortal races. No matter how great their achievements are, they are a group of mortals who will not be stronger than any tributary race of the new empire. However, they need to face the facts. The hometown world continues to this day and has surpassed its theory. Longevity, there must be some unknown factor during this period leading to this situation, and perhaps this factor also affects the creator.

I clipped the puppet and Lirina on the spot under the armpit, and teleported directly to the engineering base, then ran all the way to find Sandora. By the time Lilian was standing, she had rolled her eyes, and the doll was biting my wrist. Seeing the expression seems to have decided to hang on it for a day ... maybe I should transport these two in a safer way.

Sandora was discussing the issue with Bingtis in the lounge. They saw me rushing in, and they were very surprised. Bingtis watched my two irritable little girls carry in my hand, and was particularly concerned: " You and Asakusa Yehe were seen by the two bear children? "

Me: "..." This female hooligan is definitely diamond. Is she the only value of existence?

"The two little guys have made a great discovery," I put Lilina on the ground, and by the way raised my hand to show the little puppet who was biting my wrist and hanging around in the air, "I found it on a recent planet The tomb of the creators. There may be a group of creators fleeing to this world, and their bodies are even still there. "

As soon as my words fell, I felt a blue light flashing in front of me. Then came the violent wind, and when she reacted, Sandola and Fentiz were gone, and only the wind behind the automatic gate was not gone. But a few seconds later, Sandora rushed back at the same speed and grabbed my arm-in fact, grabbed the head of the puppet on my arm: "Where is it?"

Sandora was dragging the yet-to-be-responded Icetis in the other hand. The female hooligan had just been tragically pulled out at a supersonic speed, and I clearly heard a loud noise at the time. Presumably she hit something, and now she lies on the ground in a half-dead pattern, and Sandora pulls an arm. The female hooligan looked up at Liliana and the mercury lamp in the same state of circle, and was extremely sad and angry: "Your uncle ... you are truly a pair! Don't drag on the old lady !?"

Sandora drew up the pretending to be severely injured, Bingtis, and promised: "Oh, I forgot to drag myself." Then she threw her good friend aside and said to Li Lina succinctly. Two words: "Lead the way!"

The reason why she didn't find a puppet. It's because the latter is still hanging on my wrist, and my mouth is occupied, so I can't communicate. We called on the shallow who was leading the children back, and went to the experimental area to pick an expert such as Tavel and a bunch of assistant technicians and engineering soldiers. The people set off from the base in an engineering ship in a blink of an eye and were ten away from here. Over the planet of two astronomical units.

This is a desolate, cold, lifeless solid planet that has stopped geological activity. The biggest feature of this stellar system is that all its celestial bodies are far away from the sun, even if we have advanced twelve astronomy from the asteroid belt towards the sun unit. That star was still a cold orange bean in sight. Too far a distance causes the average temperature of the surface of the planet below us to approach -200 ° C. The surface of the planet is mainly yellow-brown, which is the color of the ancient rock crust of the planet. Looking at it from space, you can see that the planet's terrain is gentle, even if it is a young age in history. Its geological activity has never been intense. Between those gentle valleys and geological fractures, white crystals can be seen, rivers frozen in the cold — maybe they never flowed — and some solid methane hydrates.

A hellish cold planet, Wong ○ can cry alive and cry in this place, but compared to the asteroid belt, this place is actually quite warm ...

This planet has a thin atmosphere, and its main component is helium (other gas components have basically frozen to a hard piece of iron on the surface of the planet or become liquid), and there are several trace elements unique to this universe. These elements The atmosphere that caused the planet to face the stars was slightly iron-red-and Lina and the puppet found those things on that side.

The heavy engineering ship hovered in low-earth orbit like a huge meteorite. The drone ejection orbit and airport components under the engineering ship began to deform and stretch. We are ready to start the orbit-planet joint acquisition operation. We came to the bottom of the engineering ship. On the extended platform at the end, look at the tan ground under the foot through the transparent energy barrier.

I rubbed Lina's hair: "Where exactly is it? If you want to leave a mark, we can save time."

"Of course, you can rest assured," Li Lina patted her chest proudly. Although she accidentally discovered the place when she was fighting with the puppet, she seems to have taken it as a great result of her hard work. " I planted a small sapling below, let me look for it ... Oh, found it. The little green one over there is. "

Liliana happily said, pointing to a green spot on the planet's surface, I was silent:

A plant that can be seen in space, Lillina calls that thing a little sapling ...

The engineering ship locked the coordinates, and found an open space suitable for building a ground station next to the coordinates, and then dropped a huge cube device with a side length of about two hundred meters from the low-earth orbit. This cube device crashed into a thin atmosphere. Suddenly stopped at a distance of hundreds of meters from the ground, then slowly unfolded and landed smoothly: it contains a set of fully functional ground station infrastructure, including a small multi-function command center (this allows it to It works normally in both unattended modes), two multi-functional labs with space expansion devices, and a self-regulated mechanical hangar. And three docks for short supply of small aircraft. Of course, it is also equipped with important equipment that every Imperial workstation has: a conveyor. The transmitter can ensure rapid material transfer between the ground station and the mother ship on the track. Therefore, the ground station itself does not carry a space-consuming facility such as a warehouse.

The engineering mother ship in orbit cooperates with several ground stations dropped on the ground. Scientific research and sampling can be started in the fastest ten minutes. This is the most common planetary working mode of this general-purpose engineering ship we are riding on. Because the Apostles of the Spirit did not need to collect resources on the planet: they abandoned planetary mining many billion years ago, so these engineering ships were basically all for scientific research.

After the ground station sent the ready signal, we reached the planet's surface directly through the transmitter.

The first thing that caught my eye was of course the "little sapling" planted by Lina a few kilometers away. It is difficult for me to explain to you a scientific way of breathing a helium in a cold wind of minus 200 degrees Celsius What's going on with a giant green plant growing up in spirits-so this one makes us try to ignore the overwhelming big thing. Continue to pay attention to ancestor relics. The short-range radar carried on the ground station has found the response of the hometown material. When we arrived at this site like an oil rig, its hangar was sending out a group of self-regulated machinery. The assistant technicians and engineering soldiers who were transported to the ground with the crowd followed us. Following the directions pointed out by these self-disciplined machines, they quickly found the shocking ruins.

It is located in a valley five kilometers away, and it seems to have been there for many years.

This is a valley with an unusually wide bottom. The bottom is covered with gravel, and the gullies on the frozen soil never melt. At the end of the valley floor, a large metal structure slanted into the ground. It looked like it was part of a spacecraft, and it was a bit like a wrecked orbiting station that fell to the ground from space—I personally prefer the first guess. The shape of this behemoth is a bit like a bunch of irregular cylinders tied together. The surface is gray and black, and no coating or mark can be seen. It should have fallen directly from the ground to the ground, because the dense ground around it is all radial cracks, but on its surface. There are tears torn by huge shocks everywhere: these iconic things record a terrible space crash. The metal giant is incomplete. The end pointing to the sky is an uneven crevice. Sharp metal structures and broken pipelines protrude from the crevice. It trembles slightly in the cold and thin atmosphere, as if it is protruded from the grave. Thin bone claws, trying to catch the distant sun in the sky. This obvious fracture trace indicates that this part of the spacecraft (we first assumed it was the spaceship) that landed on the ground, the other half of it has gone missing.

"All hometown material reactions on the entire planet come from this valley," Tavel looked at the data terminal in his hand. The engineering ship in orbit had released the satellite, and conducted a rough scan of the entire planet to confirm whether there were more The relics of the ancestors, but it turned out to be very frustrating. The incomplete wreckage in front of us couldn't be put together.

To be honest, I didn't expect Lina and the puppet to find such a behemoth at first! I thought they had just found a few escape bays, or a slightly larger lifeboat, but the one in front of them ... it was too much larger than I expected, no wonder the small lamp would use the "grave" Two words to describe this thing, this metal wreck standing in the cold wind is indeed like a huge and cold tomb.

"It looks like a spaceship," Bettis looked up for a long time, "unlike your spaceship?"

"You don't see what it was," she said casually. He followed Lilina towards the wreckage of the huge spaceship, "It has been known how many years the civilization between the Spirit and the Apostles has changed."

"It's unbelievable ... this important legacy was put under our eyelids for two days," Tavel looked up at the mountain-like black wreckage, and those broken and sharp metal branches were clearly reflected in her pupils She was a little apologetic. "Subordinates were stunned by the rich hometown material in the asteroid belt at that time, and they should scan the entire galaxy earlier."

"No ... it's okay," Sandora said absently. "It's just a little bit late, we still found it. The spaceship seemed to have experienced an explosion from the inside out, causing it to break into two basic parts. The sky is spreading outwards. But there is no abyss on the spacecraft. What was destroyed by it? "

Sandora just said the same to herself, she didn't expect any answer, and no one could give her the answer: in front of our eyes is an ancient secret from a long lost time, it is so long. So much so that the immortal Apostles of the Spirit were unable to explore those days. The wreckage of the spaceship is as mysterious as the ancestors of Hilling, and I can't help but have some illusion: I am looking through the barrier of time, gazing at the ancient history that is still, and what should have disappeared with the passage of time The psychological shock brought by your gesture of breaking into your sight is beyond words.

Imagine seeing the flash of light at the beginning of the universe at the end of the world. And even that time span cannot be compared to the icy wreckage in front of us.

I am so sighed. Of course, Sandola, who is an authentic Apostle of the Spirit, is even more so. She strokes the cold and broken hull gently, as if the voice came from the end of the world: "The first primitive body would not Will it be born on such a spaceship? "

"At least it was born on the same spaceship," Bingtis patted Sandora's shoulders vigorously. "Mother, I'm excited with it: Protoss rarely have the opportunity to see this historical moment ... Where to go in? "

I turned to look at Lina (the little puppet was still biting on my wrist so I didn't consider it). She had all found the body at that time, and it must have gotten into the spaceship. And know how to get inside.

"Let me show the way!" Li Lina patted her chest proudly, and then took us to find the "entry" of the spaceship, which is actually a large crack in the spacecraft's shell. This crack just traverses a corridor inside the spaceship, so it can Leads to the central area of ​​the ship.

Watching Li Lina blinking and disappearing into the black hole. I can basically imagine that she and the two dolls chased each other on this planet, saw this huge wreckage, and then went into the adventure like a child treasure hunt ...

A large group of people followed Lirina's fish into the wreckage of the spacecraft. At the beginning, the road was very difficult to walk, but after clearing the obstacles and bypassing a twisted alloy gate, we found the formal corridor, and the road was suddenly spacious. Bingtis snapped his fingers and said, "Let there be light." Then the lighting problem in the dark wreckage was solved. The entire spacecraft was enveloped by light, and the road was bright as day.

"Special alloys still maintain a certain strength in this extreme situation," Tavel's eyes flashed a blue light. She inspected and analyzed the material of the wreck. "There are traces of smelting, there are a lot of impurities, and this ship The material for the construction of the spacecraft must come from the minerals of the home world, but it is not the same as what we found in the primitive body. "

"The original body was made on the exiled ark. At that time, the creator should have been able to extract the resources of other worlds," Sandora said casually. "The material of the ark comes from the hometown world, and the material of the original body may come from other universes."

"Sampling carefully, the spacecraft is fragile and easily collapsed-don't let the self-discipline machinery, you do it yourself." Tavel turned to his assistant technicians and engineers.

The entourage began to carefully collect alloy samples on the spacecraft ~ www.readwn.com ~ and released a large number of detectors. The small detectors buzzed and flew into every fork to detect areas we were not involved in. The feedback was quickly sent to Tavel. The structure and functional layout of the entire spacecraft quickly formed in her mind. .

The principle of this primitive aircraft is quite easy to understand in Tavel.

"We should now be in a space such as an emergency escape route or an alternate route for the spacecraft," said Tavel. "In addition, the control host of the ecological maintenance system was found in the spacecraft. We probably can fully understand the hometown world for the first time in history. What ’s the environment of the original home star? The propulsion module and power module of the spacecraft are missing. The subordinate estimates that it is the explosion of the power module that caused the entire propulsion section and the power section of the spacecraft to be separated. Theoretically this is the case . "

The footsteps of a group of people echoed in the empty corridor, and the soles of the shoes made a crisp “click” sound on the alloy floor. In Tavier ’s explanation, we learned little by little about this ancient ancestor creation and approached it. Beast's Heart Position: Core Control Segment.

There are the bodies of creators. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read m.)
