A small shuttle slid out of the giant turtle rock platform's ejection channel without a sound, and rushed towards the abandoned resource storage area at the end of the space island chain.
As regent, Wim opened a "quiet" route for the shuttle to ensure that no elves would notice its whereabouts. At the same time, he ordered the martial law of several entrances and exits of the abandoned resource storage area, and temporarily stopped Excavation and recovery of the wreckage of Rainbow Island, the entire site was emptied to ensure smooth progress.
After a short space voyage, the shuttle arrived at the desolate and dilapidated space junkyard, and began to search for the wreckage of the Rainbow Island under the guidance of the structure diagram provided by Wim.
This garbage dump occupies a large space in the entire island chain, and it is closely adjacent to the "dead land" floating island group. There are fragmented floating island wrecks all over the place. From a distance, it feels like a small floating world. The planetary belt and the floating islands in the place of death are more or less complete, and there is even the possibility of being rescued, but the wreckage on the side of the garbage dump is completely broken and cannot be rescued. , to extract the last bit of resources from the residue—the Rainbow Island, which was destroyed by the big bang not long ago, is of course also included.
Huge taupe or off-white "stones" like hills floated past the portholes of the shuttle, and many of them can still be seen to be man-made: they either have smooth planes or have residual metal covering objects, or culverts that once housed pipes and equipment remain. Hao Ren even saw some distorted buildings on the stones. Those buildings had been completely torn apart, but from the huge internal space and thick partitions, it could be seen that they were once large-scale factory facilities. Wim explained that most of these pieces come from industrial floating islands: they are the most solid of all floating islands, but also the most serious if they are scrapped. After the system of the ecological floating island is shut down, it will only slowly lose its vitality and become a place of death. However, most of the industrial floating islands are destroyed by the big explosion. These equipments that have been used for thousands of years have reached the limit that the earth people can't imagine. . So that as long as there is a little problem, it is a catastrophic chain accident. Time has dispelled the civilization creations that the Erim elves are proud of into bombs, and they have nowhere to escape. They can only delay the detonation date of these bombs through continuous repairs, and those who cannot delay— It's just outside the spaceship.
There's also something special about these space wrecks. Those are ovoid facilities with smooth bright oval shells, between one and two kilometers in size, they don't seem to be damaged, and the work around these facilities is not like ordinary excavation on other fragments They are not ships, but small ships that look more advanced. After Hao Ren asked curiously, he knew that these things were corona stations.
"Some of the corona stations can directly transmit energy to the island chain from space, but the other part of the corona station used to collect solar wind materials needs to return to the island chain for unloading. They are actually a special high-temperature-resistant spacecraft." Wim Inhill Da’s state was tense and depressed, but she still patiently answered the guests’ questions, “These spaceships use special energy cores, which are less stable than other forms of energy cores. They are highly radioactive and easy to explode when they enter the standby state. So unloading in areas away from the main islands."
Vivienne was very strange: "Why don't you use a small spaceship to transport it back and forth?"
"We can't build a little spaceship like that," Wim said, spreading his hands. "Or these coronal stations themselves are the kind of 'small spaceships' you mentioned. These big guys are the only equipment we have built that can resist the power of the sun at close range. They have thick magic armor and special shields. It needs a large energy core to support it, and we can’t make a smaller core, and a larger spaceship will consume twice as much power, so the corona station is fixed in this style.”
"Your corona stations will definitely be popular among low-end civilizations, as long as someone improves their stability," the data terminal said suddenly, "Maybe we can use these things to bargain with those profiteers who run long distances. Ask them to send more emergency supplies and the like—we only mentioned floating islands and circulation equipment when negotiating conditions. But we didn’t talk about the corona station, and you will need a lot of emergency supplies after the Great Migration.”
The mention of the Great Migration made Vim cheer up again: "Our entire race will always remember this kindness—if the Great Migration comes true, I believe that every Aerym elf and their descendants will be happy to regard you as a savior , we will help you whatever you want to do in the future.”
Hao Ren looked at the bat demon and dog beside him. Think about the two fish at home, one big and one small, and the mercenary girl who doesn't know if she can go home, and think about how ambitious these strange creatures in my home can be. Then I think the biggest thing these guys can think of is to have a meal after Ariem moves to a new house...
After traversing the lifeless and unpleasant mass of wreckage, the shuttle finally reached a patch of relatively "fresh" rubble and landed on one of the largest broken pumice stones.
"This is the wreckage of the Rainbow Island," Wim pointed to the lifeless and dilapidated scene outside the porthole, "This was originally the high ground where the observation tower was located, but after the explosion, only the outer base of the tower remained. As for the space-time accelerator The core area where it was located has been completely wiped out. My lord mother was here in the tower at the time... So if the 'remnant soul' you mentioned really exists, then this is the most likely place."
Wim cannot survive in space, but this is not a problem. There are some emergency equipment on the giant turtle rock platform, which are manufactured by some private companies in the macro world that specialize in serving the military command department. They are specially designed for mortals who cannot move in space. The "emergency survival suit" prepared by the race is a silver-white collar-shaped device (of course, it can also be transformed into other styles in the small factory of the spaceship according to the user's race). After wearing, it will scan the user's body data and quickly It forms a shield-like protective layer to isolate vacuum, temperature loss and radiation. At the same time, it can form an air environment in the shield that can be used for a long time. Although this device can only survive, it is enough, plus a With a simple set of spray equipment (also from a very old civilian equipment company in Hongshijie), he can leave the cabin with the others.
Due to the nature of the inspectors' work, their spaceship cargo warehouses will be full of bits and pieces for various mortal races from the beginning, and there are also a large number of such production plug-ins in the small factory of the spacecraft, which can ensure that the inspectors When encountering some minor mortal affairs, it can be solved directly on the spot. Hao Ren felt that the Giant Turtle Rock was like a robot cat with a length of 600 meters. Confused.
Lily and Vivian also got a collar and followed them out of the cabin, and Lily whispered to Hao Ren through the communicator on the collar: "I don't like wearing this around my neck, it feels weird..."
"It's no wonder that huskies like collars," Vivienne followed Lily, talking about the latter's dog attributes while curiously taking off the collar from time to time, to experience the space environment for a while and feel uncomfortable before wearing it. On, "Uh, it feels so strange to be in space, my body feels numb and crisp."
"Is that so?" Lily also tried it happily, and within a few minutes after taking off the collar, she put her tongue out and put it back on again, "It's uncomfortable, I can't breathe, my body is still swollen, and my tongue feels like boiling water. Googling."
The behavior of the two supergirls laughing and experiencing the space environment frightened Wim for a while, and Hao Ren couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat: The data terminal is really right, although Vivienne and Lily didn't specifically evolve it. The physiological structure of space survival, but these two girls can live in outer space for a while relying on their physical fitness! It is estimated that not many people can learn the deadly gameplay of taking off the spacesuit in space to experience nature...
Vivienne and Lily didn't want to use the jetting device at first because they thought it was ugly to wear a silly wide belt around the waist. Going into the crevice of the stone, crawling forward like climbing a mountain, Vivienne is even more tricky: she made a large group of small bats and threw them out, which can be regarded as a reaction force... Anyway, Hao Ren looked at it for a few minutes and then looked at it again. I can't go on anymore, so I asked the two live treasure girls to put on the jet belt with a strong posture: the movement efficiency is second, the main reason is that Vivienne will be anemic after throwing the bat for a while, do you dare to believe an anemic vampire
Hilda is still lying in the medical cabin. This device can move independently from the spaceship. Now it is following the group of people with its own power. Hao Ren led the team to advance clumsily in space, and finally approached the wreckage of the tower with only the base left and molten traces all over it.
The moment everyone approached, Hao Ren felt some kind of power emanating from the medical cabin, and then a vague, shimmering shadow appeared in front of his line of sight.
The power seed left by Raven 12345 in Hilda's body really took effect, and Hilda's remaining soul really lingered in the wreckage.
That confused soul stood quietly in front of the wreckage of the observation tower, staring directly at the place where the space-time accelerator used to be (now there is only an empty space), and did not respond to the approach of strangers at all. She seemed to be quite weak, even if there was Raven 12345's power reinforcement also appears to be flickering, but as 12345 said: there is still time.
Hao Ren smiled and floated towards the soul: "Finally caught up." (To be continued~^~)
