Master of the Stars

Chapter 1613: And forward (up)

Views:

It is said that Xianzhu is ready for docking, but judging from the current situation at the observation station, Xianzhu is stuck on the converter and will not be able to escape for a while. The only one who can take on this responsibility is Ronan. . At least since the communication system replaced the exclusive movement, there is basically no need to worry about stable battery life, and he can take more care of other matters.

In fact, the so-called docking is not much of a problem.

Since the communication with the headquarters returned to normal, all work records at Observation Station No. 7 will be synchronized in time. In a sense, the headquarters knows the situation at the observation station better than Ronan and Xianzhu.

Counting over and over again, all Ronan needs to do is to act as a backup navigator on the ground when Sir Luander and his party arrive, and provide ground guidance when necessary. That is enough.

Originally, there had been two rounds of storms near Observation Station No. 7, and the configuration imprints were stacked up to thousands of layers. The large-scale extraterritorial species had basically been swept away, and there were only three or two kittens here and there. .

Ronan didn't care, let alone Luander, who had already become a noble man.

That being said, when Ronan used the radar and imager of the observation station to determine the target slowly sinking in the starry sky overhead, he was still I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, and at the same time sent a message to Xianzhu on the public channel:

"The scale of Sir Luander's leadership... is quite large."

There is no exaggeration in Ronan's statement. Not to mention the others, just the largest one inside. At first glance, it is towed by an external engine and escorted by dozens of landing craft. It is still in mid-air. It feels like it is bigger than 7 The entire observation station should be larger.

As the distance continues to get closer, the absurd sense of dislocation becomes stronger.

If this thing lands accurately, observation station No. 7 will be gone, right

Ronan didn't send this complaint, because he didn't come to destroy Observation Station No. 7. He just used the navigation signal from the observation station and the layers of configuration imprints to slightly adjust the angle. Passing over the observation station, moving slowly towards the north pole of the asteroid.

Even though all the nearby extraterrestrial troops had been strangled, the sudden stimulation of such a big guy still provoked many scattered individuals. They killed them one after another, but in the blink of an eye they were shot down by the ships guarding the surrounding area.

this is…

Surprisingly, Ronan still had some impression.

It was still his last failed "offline test" experience.

The Hongqiao supply ship he was on at that time and some other auxiliary ships built wartime factories in the current asteroid belt.

The big guy that just floated over your head was one of the very important components of the wartime factory:

Catalytic library of building blocks.

It is a big thing that consumes resources, is bulky and expensive, and basically has no mobility.

Soon after the magneto-optical mica self-destructed and attracted an army of alien species, this thing quickly fell together with the wartime factory.

At that time, Ronan also had an option of "Whether to protect the wartime factory", which listed some key equipment and modules, and that's when he got the impression.

If Ronan's vague memory is correct, once this big guy lands on this asteroid, it is basically impossible to fly again.

Doesn't this create another target for outsiders to plant

This big guy alone is still nothing in the galaxy war level.

Don't forget

, now in the asteroid belt, the Tianyuan Fleet is fighting with the alien army.

The inner battlefield is flawless, and it will take some time for reinforcements to come back from the outer battlefield. This is the time when the troop movement in this area is stretched thin.

Even with Lord Luo Mei's air-conditioning, it is difficult to see immediate improvement.

When Ronan and Xianzhu were discussing earlier, the latter said that sending a new rescue team here would require preparation for a lot of sacrifices and weighing the pros and cons.

At this time, the "rescue team" has arrived, and there will be no sacrifices... But at this scale, it is not a "rescue team".

It's almost enough to say it's a landing operation.

But to achieve such a situation, the forces that need to be mobilized and the price paid may be much higher than deploying dozens more "rescue teams."

If this asteroid will be far away from the Chilun rift in less than 400 hours, the related investment would be too extravagant.

Ronan was thoughtful.

Even when the landing was in progress, the downlink spiritual wave signal from the "receiving station" was still uninterrupted, and the "converter" continued to work.

Ronan analyzed the relevant signals almost simultaneously, and simulated them in the inner universe simulator and visual space-time.

Since I almost already have the answer in my mind, it is easier to push back.

Therefore, it is indeed different from what was previously judged...

But before he could communicate this answer to Xianzhu, instructions had already been updated in the mission channel.

In accordance with the instructions, Ronan conducted authentication and verification of the authority sequence with the opposite party. Soon afterwards, a group of soldiers who successfully landed entered the observation post in full force and took over the relevant area. Several people came directly to the command center, including two characters who were obviously mechanics, to hand over with Ronan.

They were all ordered, and Ronan naturally followed them.

In addition to Ronan, there should be Xianzhu, but it's not Ronan's turn to worry.

The person responsible for the handover at the command center will certainly not be Sir Luander. But it was a technical officer named Qiao Shu.

He is a second-class lieutenant, one level higher than both Luonan and Xianzhu, and almost twice as tall.

Wearing special armor, it looks like a small mountain.

However, after taking off the helmet, Ronan saw that the man's skin was deeply gray and extremely rough. Some places were already dry and cracked, as if they were decayed tree bark that was about to peel off, and some even revealed the redness underneath. of inner tissues and blood vessels.

Some of the cracks even opened into the eye sockets and inside, so that the eyeballs were red, as if they could bleed at any time, which was terrifying.

No matter who you are, your heart will tighten when you first see Shangguan in such an image.

However, people should not be judged by their appearance. Lieutenant Qiao Shu was gentle in words and deeds, and he actually seemed to have a good temper.

After confirming that all the equipment and permissions handed over by Ronan were correct, he smiled and saluted, then reached out and patted Ronan on the shoulder...it could only be a pat on the shoulder.

"Well done, Lieutenant Ronan."

Facing this superior officer, Ronan successfully kept his face calm, raised his chest and saluted in response:

"Thank you, sir."

While talking, Ronan also vaguely remembered that when he was at the relay station, the Shengzhan master who was expert in both formation and deployment seemed to have the same appearance, but of course his skin was much better.

At this time, Aunt Kui finally played the role of auxiliary intelligence and gave Ronan clear relevant information:

The races of Qiao Shu and Sheng Zhan are from Tianyuan Liguo

In the early days, the "Bitter Tree People" were incorporated through the Centennial Sequence.

Despite his size, he has always had a high IQ. He is especially good at fine operations and often plays an important role in the technical field.

However, as Kushu people get older, their skin condition will be very bad, which directly reflects their health condition and is difficult to cover up.

In a situation like Qiao Shu's, to be honest, it's not particularly appropriate to come to the front line.

But the matter of selection was arranged by superiors, and Ronan had no room to comment.

Lieutenant Qiao Shu also gave him an instruction: "Lieutenant Ronan, you go to the Chu-07 worker bee grid now. Sir Luander is waiting for you there."

Ronan was startled. On the one hand, he was surprised that a senior commander like Sir Luander would meet with a junior officer like him. On the other hand, it was because of the number of the worker bee grid - he had been there for these dozens of hours. The observation station is busy with activities, and the slicing device is released from time to time to conduct area-wide searches. I have long been familiar with this place.

He knows the purpose of every piece of equipment, every worker grid, and every pipe.

The functions of some places were even set by him.

Just like Chu-07.

But Ronan still didn't say anything. He just saluted Qiao Shu again, turned around and walked out of the command center, heading towards the direction required by the order.

The observation station was only so big, and it only took Ronan two minutes to arrive in front of the Chu-07 worker bee grid.

This is at the front of the logistics area, not far from where Ronan fell. Many worker bee grids have collapsed and cannot be cleaned up. They look like a mess.

At this time, someone was already standing in front of the Chu-07 worker bee grid.

Although they were all fully clothed, judging from the armor structure and standing position, it was obvious that he was a senior officer, with his adjutants and guards behind him.

Everyone has taken off their helmets and stared at the inside of the worker bee grid with serious expressions.

Ronan was not surprised by this scene. He took a breath and walked forward. Just as he was about to report, he heard a mechanical voice behind him cursing:

"I'll stop over at Chu-02. Everything will be solved, and all the trouble is still there!"

Ronan turned around and saw Xianzhu for the first time after entering the observation station and dreaming at the relay station.

To be honest, the current scene is a bit comical.

In the corridor, Xianzhu was sitting on a multi-purpose vehicle commonly seen in observation stations - the vehicle was too low, so at first glance he was almost sliding on the ground.

The reason for this is because he now has no legs.

Ronan was in a daze.

"Twenty years apart", the appearance of Xianzhu is obviously different from that of the relay station period

The most intuitive feeling is that the area of mechanical transformation on the body has increased significantly.

The person with the greatest transformation that Ronan had seen at the relay station before was probably Luande... who was probably the highly experienced officer who was currently standing in front of the Chu-07 worker hive.

That person had indeed gone through the test of life and death, and had barely come back from the gate of hell, so much so that he was beyond recognition.

Today, although Xianzhu has not even had to replace half of his skull, his left eye, right arm, and a section of the spine at the back of his neck have all been replaced with metal prostheses.

And... legs.

Should we be happy

Ronan could tell at a glance that Xianzhu's legs were not destroyed recently. They should have been receiving prostheses for a period of time, but they were broken again during the battle at the observation station or other circumstances. .
