Chapter 949: The Star Fortress-Whose Unlucky Design

"Now, I feel as though they are shaking. [Wu Qian Qian Kun]"

Li Lina poked at the fence in front of her, whispered to herself, but her eyes were a bit shiny, "Hey, I suddenly saw some very interesting life reactions just now, as if in the star fortress ... hidden It ’s so deep that I almost lied to this Pope. "

I looked at Sandora, who groaned a little and said to Lin Xue, "What did you see just now?"

"Escape, annihilation, hatred, despair, wandering so far ..." The young lady closed her eyes slightly, with an indescribable sense of desolation and sadness in her tone. The girl with the power of the prophet seemed to be immersed in a moment we could not Looking at the space and time with the naked eye, the whole person haunted a lonely temperament. When I saw this, I quickly slapped it on the back of the girl: "Speak human!"

"This group of unlucky eggs made the Empire do it once," Lin Xue rubbed his back and stretched his legs and kicked me. "Now they have a little survivor hidden in that fortress. Do n’t ask more Go and see for yourself. My suggestion is not to cause any casualties, so you better tie Pandora and Huesca first ... "

The two dwarf melons watched the young lady grind her teeth at once.

Most of the ghost fleets are unmanned death ships, but apparently the entire fleet is still alive. They are hiding in the large inner ships of the fleet and the star fortresses at the core of the fleet. They are avoiding The imperial spaceship, but hit the world unluckyly. Now the imperial fleet appears in front of them, so the latter instinctively wants to escape. This should be the situation so far. According to the other party ’s behavior of tempting the emperor to launch a total offensive with a spacecraft self-explosion just in order to obtain a one-minute void jumping time, it seems that the other party is quite familiar with the parameters of some of the empire ’s key equipment. Maybe they can really escape this place. Sandora made a decision with a little thought, ordering the main force to continue to gather outside the ghost fleet cluster, while deterring these unidentified ghost ships with a fully-charged artillery array, and then admiral Admiral led twenty The two Revenge Angel-class elite motherships and a few lightships approached the star fortress at the heart of the Ghost Fleet.

"Is it risky?"

The older sister is more cautious. She glanced at the ghost ships that were dark and flashing lights. "They are not miscellaneous fishes. Once they have misunderstood each other's desperate resistance, the Admiral will not be able to stand it."

I glanced at Lin Xue, and the other side nodded to me: "They won't take the initiative to attack, of course, as long as we don't fire first."

"But it's safer for me to make a statement first."

I thought about it, and ordered the communicator on the officer platform to be transferred to the external full-frequency broadcast band, and then thought about it for a minute, "Yes, what would I say is better? It shows that we came for love and justice, To be particularly sensational, you can't wait to get out the house as soon as it sounds. "

Li Lina looked at me with admiration: "Wow, boss, you never make a draft!"

I don't know if this girl boasted about me or hurt me, but I threw her into a nearby basket out of habit.

"Anyway, they won't respond anyway, but it's a little bit better."

Lin Xue glanced at me and said helplessly.

I thought about it, connected the communicator, and said in the full-band broadcast: "The ghost fleet ... well, I don't know what your name is, anyway here is the Royal fleet of the Spirit Empire, I am the fleet commander, and you have entered In the Empire-ruled area, our fleet will conduct routine inspections. You can relax your nerves. Our fleet will not attack you. I hope you can cooperate with our actions. During the routine inspection, I hope you will not try to leave the site or take irrational actions. Or we have the right ... "

Lin Xue screwed me in the back: "Hurry up, say the key!"

I quickly summed up two sentences: "In short, we will land here, don't just fire artillery, or the army will assault."

Sandora pressed on her head: "It's a huge mistake to let A Jun play freely ..."

I am so happy, anyway, the meaning is clear. The diplomatic rhetoric between the two civilizations always makes me feel idle and painful. You use a lot of rhetorical methods ... Can others understand? Even the cultural background is different. In Biberu's hometown, "Did you eat it", but it is a curse ... You just go off the topic.

After the declaration of the prohibition of crossfire was broadcast three times in the entire frequency band, the Empire Admiral led the selected elite convoy to the hinterland of the Ghost Fleet cluster. I noticed that after the Emperor's flagship suddenly acted, there were many ghost ships. There was some confusion, and the specific manifestation was that the lights on many ships flickered as if they were ventilating, and those identified ships subconsciously increased the engine thrust-but there are some systems in the deceased garden that modify this piece. Void information structure, with the exception of Emperor, all spacecraft have lost the ability to sail in the void, and those ghost ships are still standing still.

Just as Lin Xue said, although the ghost ships caused a little commotion, none of the warships clashed with the imperial ship until we approached the giant planet fortress, and there was no conflict, although it was personally felt. The atmosphere in this space was already extremely tense, but Lin Xue's prediction was still correct.

There was only one thing that was regrettable. We did not receive any response from the other party. All the ghost ships remained silent. The star warships in the core area greeted the landing craft from the Empire in a deadly darkness.

The landing team took the special defense landing boat shaped like a plant pod to the surface of the planet fortress dubbed "Rotten Potato". The landing of the landing boat and several frigates did not cause any response. After leaving the gangway, there was only one piece in front of us. The dark and deep sky and the earth make the atmosphere a bit depressing.

"It's atmospheric, and it looks denser than the earth," the sister shrugged her nose, and frowned slightly. "It just tastes a bit worse."

"Earth creatures can't live in this atmosphere, some toxic trace elements," Sandora stomped lightly, and small leather boots made a short collision sound when they stepped on the metal ground. "This is the case for all ghost ships. The atmospheric environment may be simulating the ecology of their 'homeland'. The surrounding area looks desolate, and no animals and plants have been found. As a home planet for carbon-based organisms, the environment in this place can be uncomfortable. "

I found a small high platform, standing on top of it, looking far into the distance. The place where I entered was the bare dark metal ground that stretched out to the horizon. Only in the remote place can we see the ground slightly undulating, forming a landscape across the sky. Parabola, this star fortress that looks ridiculous from a long distance, is actually quite smooth in detail. There are no flora and fauna, and no complicated terrain features such as rivers, lakes, mountains, etc. All parabolic things are alloy armor with smooth surfaces. Standing on the ground of the planet is like facing a nearly infinitely broad square. Such a monotonous scene, even the Imperial Star Warship, is much friendlier than it looks.

The fortress of the planet under our feet has an atmosphere, and is thicker than the atmosphere on the earth. There are trace light sources in the atmosphere, which allow people to directly observe the surrounding environment with the naked eye. These light sources are evenly emitted from the atmospheric boundary. Fast analysis and detection show that They are self-luminous phenomena caused by chemical reactions over the atmosphere. The landing craft interfered with these chemical reactions when they penetrated the atmosphere, resulting in several small black holes at the edge of the atmosphere. Looking up, you can see that they are extremely polarized. The high zenith spread, but its center has re-emerged--perhaps a few minutes later they will connect into a huge black ring.

In addition to our family members, there are three small teams of heroic fighters and scouts. These special teams composed of armored scorpions, raven and leader bee are not to protect the leaders, but to protect the scouts and explore the crust of the planet fortress. Find the entrance as soon as possible, because the previous scans showed that there is a very strong energy response under the crust of this fortress, and we are not sure if we can still be safe after going into the other's base.

As for Sister Pandora, they didn't come-I was afraid they would demolish their house.

"Ola, you are the chief commander, and try not to fight after you find the other side."

Before breaking up, Sandora specifically explained to the leader of the leader bee, because the latter should be regarded as the most rational and calm member of the three heroic combat soldiers, allowing her to restrict the task that requires peace operations to the safest one. How to do it-Let Weijia ’s sister Machete give orders, and I am very worried that she will slash the sword from the side of the planet to the opposite side of the planet ...

"Even under attack?"

Aura asked quietly, that layer of smooth semi-covered face armor made us not see her expression-of course, you can also think that "smooth" is the expression of the leader bee, although this is strange.

Sandora glanced at Lin Xue before nodding: "Even if attacked."

Aura nodded blandly, and Wei Jia, not far away, immediately put away the chopping knife, and six mechanical arthropods crunched a bunch of Chinese knots on the ground ...

"It always feels a little humiliated." Raven 001, the most ancient and weird of all the senior imperial officers at present, mumbled, and didn't blame her. You said that ordinary imperial soldiers have not been attacked yet. When murder is not allowed.

However, with Lin Xue's guidance leading the way, she could only obey unconditionally. After a bit of awkwardness, Raven and Weijia assigned their respective soldiers to follow the team and quickly disappeared before us.

Some temporary satellites have been dropped before the Admiral Admiral hovering above the Star Fortress. Now these miniature detectors, which are not much larger than the box of mercury lamps, have begun to run around this black "rotten potato" and will scan The situation was transmitted to the landing forces on the surface. Sandora launched a temporary communication platform on our small high ground to understand the status of the satellite scanning and the progress of the various reconnaissance units. The short-range scanning is very different from the previous long-distance detection. Soon we found the various facility locations of this planet fortress on the energy distribution map marked by the satellite-of course, in the words of Tavel, that is the theory. That's it.

Sandora identified those energy readings that looked almost the same to me, explaining in a low voice: "Air defense gun positions, large ship hangars, minefield platforms for rapid near-ground defense, and suspected fields. The acceleration ring of the effect weapon. The fortress' weapon system is very complete, but it focuses on defensive warfare in the range of the stellar system, and does not see any mathematical rules that modify the system. The fortress may not be offensive. And more emphasis on survivability, A Jun, look at the power of these shields ... Well, you should not understand ... "

I don't think she needs to understand so clearly.

"It's really the first time I've seen a planet fortress made by a civilization other than an empire," said his elder sister with interest. "I always feel that this thing is quite high-end, how does it compare to our star battleship?"

"Starships aren't really too high-end," Sandora began to slowly fill with golden spots, and whispered, "No, you should say that Starships are a definition too far. It ’s so extensive that it ’s difficult to say which technology is not high-end. Many civilizations have the ability to make such giant fortresses, as long as they can master driving methods that are independent of macro forces, such as coordinate-like driving or curvature driving, and have sufficient internal space isolation technology , You can make planet warships, and some galactic civilizations that have just entered space also have the ability to hollow out some metal planets and transform them into colonial ships. Needless to say, a space capsule with only a bunch of propellers is also considered a fortress. ——But that thing has nothing to do with real warships. Planet warships, the lowest level may only have the ability to cruise in the range of low light speed, limited ability to provide mobile colonial requirements, the highest level may be like Warsong, can The entire galaxy is easily turned upside down, and the one under our feet is somewhere in between ... I do n’t know much about it The physical properties of interstellar alloy, but if you guess correctly, it can currently manufacture and Empire 'zero' level planet battleship combat, even in the face of some of the early models, there was a clear advantage. "

I was suddenly surprised.

"So, they may have a deep relationship with the empire during the glorious period. There is no reason why such a powerful civilization will not be included in the anti-abyss front. Unfortunately, I know nothing about them ..." Sandora smiled helplessly. Said.

Just then, we suddenly received a message from Ola, and they found something suspected of the entrance of the Star Fortress thousands of kilometers away!

With the help of space teleportation, thousands of kilometers soon arrived, and we soon completed the meeting with Aura. She had let the leader bee use mirror power to arrange a large-scale temporary base nearby. No armored scorpion was seen on the scene. Figure.

"They've gone down with the scouts," said a raven (I don't really recognize the number, although he must be a veteran oiler with a number in front of him), shaking his head, "in If you are acting in a narrow place, only those guys with muscles in your head can really play it out. You have to hurry up and join the scouts before the group of neurotic machetes can demolish their houses ... "

I looked at the so-called entrance far away. It is an ant-like passage located in the middle of a relatively gentle hill. The entrance of the passage forms a hole with a **** of about 45 degrees. The narrowest radius is about There are more than ten meters. Standing on the edge of the hillock, you can feel the cold wind blowing from below. No iconic symbols can be seen on the smooth metal pit walls around, indicating that this opening is not for people to walk— — Of course, according to the consistent virtue of this book, maybe this is a long time street sign that blows out the wind or is more daddy, the road signs on the ground fade.

... in short, let's go and see.

Ola was left to lead her bees to guard outside the entrance. I dragged my house and jumped into this big hole. After I went down, I found that the hole was not as deep as I thought: there was only a gap of a hundred meters. Compared with the Starship Corridor, which is several kilometers away, this height is indeed a small step.

However, after landing, what appeared to us was a section of tubular passage inclined downwards and not seeing the head, indicating that the real destination extended a long way to the ground.

I contacted Weijia, and she had traveled hundreds of kilometers with the Scouts—all at supersonic speed. I began to feel that it was a huge mistake to involve her in this type of exploration mission, but thankfully It is at least she still remembers the rules that do not hurt everyone, and she did not use her own machete to open the road, otherwise at this time she should almost run thousands of kilometers.

Vega also reported to us a noteworthy situation:

The underground fortress of this planet fortress extends in all directions, and there are branch roads everywhere. Scans show that they are an extremely complex network of traffic. Moreover, due to the existence of psionic interference, the scan cannot be extended to the entire planet as easily as before, only in the vicinity. Used within a range of 100 kilometers, her team has split into three routes. Considering security issues, the front road will no longer be divided, but will randomly choose the road that leads to the lowest level, that is, to advance in these passages, we I can only find a general direction, and I don't need to join her ~ www.readwn.com ~ These underground passages are completely different from the bright and straight corridors in the Space Fortress in my impression. Although they also have flat ground, the walls are like mines. It looks like an irregular pipe like a hole. Gray and black metal covers the walls of these not very straight pipes. It is not very clean in the dim light. There are lights in the channel, but it is difficult to say that this is normal lighting. It should only be a low-light lamp for emergency situations. Anyway, it looks dim and uncomfortable, and I will suffer after walking in it for a while. Of the decisive Shuaishuai Alaya head and the small grain chi called out, a long-range adjusting a tone sun light, open at the front when the searchlight ......

Bare cables along the aisle can be seen everywhere on the walls and above the corridor. The exposed design of this kind of pipeline does not know who's idea. Safety and stability are not considered for the time being. They are just looking at the unfinished from the aesthetics alone. Like the rotten tailgate, Sandora was spitting out these bad wiring methods as she walked, and Shallow continually associates the curved channel in this song with the ant hole.

Then ... we walked to an unusually wide and irregular hall, in front of which were fifty or sixty passageways of various sizes and messy locations.

Shallowly hugged my arm and jumped up: "Ajun, look, I said it was an ant hole!"
