A huge silver-white space entity—it seems that it has been operating in that position for many, many years, so that many auxiliary facilities of different styles, old and new can be seen on its ellipsoidal shell, and many small bright spots are Traveling between those facilities is like a swarm of bees flying around a hive.
When Nolan zoomed in on the picture, Hao Ren saw that the bodies of those "swarms" were actually various aircraft: they were extremely small compared to the size of the space station, and the size of the "silver giant egg" It can be seen from this.
Hao Ren naturally thought of the information he had seen on the reliefs of the city ruins. At the last moment of the catastrophe sweeping the planet, humans created a huge spaceship that would destroy less than one-tenth of the population and a large number of people. Resources are launched into space—the spaceship depicted in that image looks like a giant egg, although the details are different, which can be fully explained by the continuous renovation and addition over thousands of years.
The space station that Nolan observed was the exile spacecraft that was launched that year—it didn’t go to the deep space of the universe, but stayed in the high orbit
Then this spaceship has not been hunted down by the eldest son, but has safely escaped the doomsday disaster that happened on the ground, and has survived until today
Hao Ren frowned and made a bolder guess: "This space station... Could it be the 'Zenith' mentioned by those aircraft in the communication?"
Hao Ren has been looking for the location of the survivors' base for the past two days. However, Nolan has extended the scanning range to half the planet. Apart from finding a large number of battle traces and capturing a few battle scenes, he has not observed any similar human base camps. Nangong Sanba once speculated whether the human beings on this planet would have built their bases underground, but his guess made him windmill rolled up by Nangong Wuyue with his tail for fifteen minutes—Wuyue thinks Her brother's brain is flooded and needs to be shaken off, and everyone agrees.
This is not clear: what is there in the ground except for the firstborn's tentacles? Only when the human brain has a hole will it run to take refuge in the armpit of the eldest son!
So after finding no human base on the surface, Hao Ren speculated whether those survivors would come from outer space, but before Nolan was able to take off, he didn't have the ability to expand the range of activities to space, so he didn't take any action for the time being. .
Unexpectedly... His guess was verified so quickly.
"Did the fugitive spacecraft hang on the orbit and become a space station?" Hao Ren rubbed his chin. "Where is this 'ship' now?"
"You may not believe it - we always thought that there were two moons in the sky, but in fact the smaller moon is this 'ship'," Nolan's figure jumped out from a corner of the holographic image, "it has become A stable in-orbit facility, and I observed that the aircraft of the same type as the 'bomber' I saw before was separated from this space station and flew to the surface of the planet, so it is basically certain that the survivors observed on the surface That's where the rebels came from, and it's the 'Zenith' mentioned in the communications."
"I guessed it right, this ship didn't fly far," Hao Ren pressed his finger between his brows, "It's simply inexplicable... the eldest son will just watch the enemy's base right under his nose and not launch it." Attack? The laser beams released by its tentacles are powerful enough to destroy everything in orbit, so there's no reason why it can't do anything with this 'Zenith'."
At this time, Yizaks also threw the cards in his hands aside: "More than that, I am more curious about where these survivors come from? They will lose several bombers once they are dispatched. In progress, they only have one spaceship in orbit... How could they produce so many weapons of war? Let alone production, I feel incredible how they have kept the space station operating for so many years."
"They have the source of raw materials, which is on the real moon." Nolan said, and the screen on the holographic projection changed accordingly.
Hao Ren saw a pale land with a slight curvature, and countless industrial facilities built on the land. Those industrial facilities were as old as the space stations in space. There are complex and huge track systems and pipe connections between them, as if covering the earth with a layer of metallic mail. And between these industrial facilities, you can see a large number of ravines and rifts—their scale may be clearly visible in space, and there are countless tracks and cable-like things extending to the depths of those rifts.
Hao Ren blinked and realized that it was a stretch of mining fields, and it was also the truth of the "wood grains" he saw when observing the moon.
Lily threw the last two ice cubes into her mouth, crunched and swallowed before choking out a few words: "This is..."
"This is the base camp of the Survivors' Resistance Army," Nolan replied, "The lunar surface is their industrial raw material production area and arsenal, from where a large number of war weapons are continuously manufactured, and the space station between the earth and the moon is theirs. The command center and the front line fort, through which the army is assembled and dispatched, and then set off to carry out combat missions on the surface of the planet - I have observed this entire process, they appear to be well-ordered and well-trained, and various industrial and military facilities are also mature and stable, Apparently this stalemate has been going on for centuries."
"I didn't expect these rebels to be right under our noses." Nangong Sanba raised his eyebrows, "We have to consider the contact plan... Now that we have found their base, should we go and have a look?"
"How did you get there? Tie two nuclear bombs to your buttocks and ignite them?" Nangong Wuyue gave her brother a blank look, "Nolan can't fly yet!"
Hao Ren stroked his chin: "Actually, I have some cruise guides in my portable space that can fly in space..."
Before he finished speaking, he got the eyes of the people around him, so he could only swallow the second half: "Okay, okay, I know you may not be used to this plan... But to be honest, remove the warhead If it’s a thing, it’s quite exciting to sit up…”
This time, no one paid him any attention.
"Ahem, Nolan, turn your antennas to these space bases," Hao Ren could only cough awkwardly, and changed the subject on his own initiative, "Catch their communication signals, and first figure it out from their information network." How the survivor society' works, and by the way judge whether these survivors can make contact smoothly. How soon will you be able to re-launch?"
"The engine system and navigation system can be restored within three days, but for safety reasons, I suggest you wait an extra day—I can also repair part of the weapon platform, and most importantly, the shield system can be fully restored on the fourth day."
"There is no difference between three days and four days," Hao Ren nodded. "Use this time to collect as much information as possible about this survivor society, and work out a contact plan with them before the fourth day. How is the situation of the drone swarm? "
"The first batch of advance drones entered the X star cluster an hour ago, but they are a little far away from us," Nolan replied. It is now located in the depths of the X star cluster - tens of thousands of light years away from the jump point that the drone can reach. And since we were attacked, the energy environment in the X star cluster has changed, a large number of highly active divine energy Wandering around inside the star cluster like a patrol, they block most of the hyperspace signals, and this ship's ability to command and dispatch drone groups is greatly limited."
"It's really not as good as human beings..." Hao Ren sighed, "But it doesn't matter, the drone swarm will know what to do by itself. You use the remaining bandwidth to send a command to let all the drones head towards the ship in pioneering mode. The planetary system moves, and production bases and bunkers are set up along the way, and high-power antennas are installed in each base. Isn’t there interference in space? Then let the drone group line up the fortresses and forcefully create a physical communication link. I still don't believe that you can't go through the interference layer of the X star cluster like this."
"Nolan understands."
Hao Ren rubbed between his brows. The situation is still so gloomy that he feels a little depressed, so he feels that he urgently needs some good news: "Is there anything else to report? It's best to refresh your mind..."
Nolan really has a follow-up text: "Yes, about the eldest son."
Hao Ren immediately regretted his request - what he wanted was not this refreshment!
But he had to listen to the eldest son's report, so he could only pinch his nose to make Nolan speak: "Then... just say it."
"According to your instructions, I have been monitoring the activities of the firstborn on this planet, and released several probes to drill into some natural caves and cracks in the earth's crust to search for the neural structure of the firstborn. After twenty-four hours of continuous observation, I noticed something unusual."
Hao Ren raised his spirits slightly: "An unusual phenomenon?"
"This ship has discovered a large number of biological tissues of the eldest son in the surface crust of the planet, so we can confirm that the eldest son of this planet is already in a standard adult state. It is reasonable to say that the eldest son at this stage has quite strong neural activity. Without adding Under control, his nerve impulses can even cause physically visible supernatural phenomena to occur on the surface of the planet, but in fact the level of nerve activity detected by the probes is extremely low," Nolan's voice sounded a little puzzled, "after several The signals detected by the key nerve nodes even show that the eldest son of this planet has lost the ability to control this part of the limbs—there are only the most basic conditioned reflexes in the tentacles, but no more advanced nerve impulses."
Hearing this, Vivienne couldn't help muttering: "How could this be?"
Nolan's voice was unhurried: "Based on the information we have so far, this ship believes that the eldest son of this planet has been brain-dead."
