(In order to prevent blackouts, it was updated in advance today... )
It has been several days since the spaceship of the group of void smugglers was taken away by the Imperial Admiral in the cargo warehouse, and all the crew members on board were transferred to the dormitory of the Imperial Admiral's ecological area...
The battle is fierce and the state affairs are busy. These two burdens made me forget them all! Now this is at home and I finally had a little leisure before I remembered that there are still people locked up on the Admiral of the Empire!
As soon as I blatantly mentioned this matter, the eldest lady immediately became interested. Of course, she knew that the Sixth Army had encountered those group of void smugglers in the far border of the empire, and as a prophet, I am afraid that she is more knowledgeable than me. I knew this earlier. It's hard for me to imagine why she didn't remind me earlier, let's take this as the young lady who accidentally forgot. Anyway, after a few minutes, Lin Xue and I rushed to the shadow space and headed straight to Xinggang.
We passed through the civilian area of Shadow City. We came back in a hurry yesterday, and we went directly to the headquarters as soon as we arrived in Shadow City, so I didn’t have time to see the situation in the civilian area. I passed by here today, and I felt the civilians of Shadow City. The atmosphere in the district is not the same as usual: a little tense, but it is gradually calming down. There are fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual, and most of the entertainment street media is now closed. A giant holographic image controlled by the military is slowly drifting over the city of Shadow City. Announcement of the results of the border defense battle and the end of military martial law. Pandora's conscription advertisements once again appeared on all the advertising screens in the streets and alleys, and they appeared denser than usual. In the city, about twice as many imperial soldiers as usual can be seen patrolling, and a large number of servant soldiers also appear on the streets. They are assisting the imperial soldiers in their security activities. The command center of the Military Command in the sky is now directly above the headquarters, and it is slowly drifting towards the south of the city. It is probably because Sivis has just upgraded the command center of the Military Command: After the super-large-scale frontier defense battle, the servant army The system will always expose some problems of one kind or another, and the facilities of the command center of the Military Command may also need to be increased or decreased. The improvement in this aspect will never end.
In front of the open interactive terminal on the street, a virtual announcer designed with the image of Gaia as a template is announcing that the civilian channel of the macro world will be reopened in 30 minutes, and that the network is intact. The self-service query device next to the interactive terminal , you can check the status of the Empire after the upgrade (civilian version), the new data shows that there are three worlds in the Empire's borders that have been "damaged after the war", and are now temporarily closed to the people and prohibited from passing. It is expected that after several years of reconstruction , those three worlds will be pulled inland and opened to the public as ordinary colonial worlds. I also inquired about the world number of the world destroyed by Judgment Day. Now this number is an obsolete code, and there is only one line of footnote below: This universe Already loyal to the Empire, may the flames of its doom continue to shine on the way the Empire advances.
This is the Shadow City after the war. Everything has just been relieved from the panic, and the people are gradually returning to their daily lives. The war that occurred on the frontier did not burn this inland universe, but only had a little impact on its daily order: This impact is not worth mentioning to the residents of Shadow City.
The whole city is full of fighting people, the kind who saved the world at the age of fourteen...
I didn't waste too much time in the civilian area, and after confirming that the order here was not greatly affected, I teleported to the Royal Starport on the other side of Gaia with Lin Xue. The Admiral of the Empire and part of the Royal Fleet are undergoing repairs here, and the vacant maintenance port of the Royal Starport is open to warships of other legions that urgently need to be overhauled, so that now it looks like an abandoned warship processing station, hordes of Broken battleships are lined up in space, waiting in line for processing.
Among them, the Admiral of the Empire should be the one with the best situation: as the flagship of the Royal Fleet, it was tightly protected, so it was basically not damaged. Only some shield generators and a group of air defense positions were destroyed by the enemy. The jump fortress warhead hit and was damaged. These modular facilities can be repaired in just one day. When the eldest lady and I arrived, the Admiral Empire was slowly passing through the inspection section of the giant non-gravity gate. Hundreds of projects The machine hovered on its cross arm for a final status check.
"The reconnection of the No. 3 shield generator of the H-3 group of the horizontal arm is normal, the load balance is normal, and the synchronization rate is normal—release the external source line of the shield generator and transfer it to the battleship system."
"The No. 4 air defense position of the horizontal arm is installed. The weapon system is controlled normally, the data link is connected normally, and the response is normal. There is a small problem with the armor deformation and camouflage part. The terminal gun group sinks too slowly. No. 4, go check the situation."
"The inspection of the armor transmission device is completed, and the terminal battery is normal. Release the external source line of the air defense position and transfer it to the battleship system."
"The inspection process of the Admiral of the Empire is over, the main engine of the starship, your spaceship can leave the port."
The Starport broadcast announced that the Admiral Empire had completed its overhaul, and the huge monster with a body length of hundreds of kilometers quickly floated out of the zero-gravity gate with unreasonable agility, and then entered the evacuation position with a short-distance jump.
"The next mothership-class spacecraft that needs to be overhauled enters the No. 1 large gate, and the formation of autonomous machinery and engineering aircraft is ready."
A huge black shadow jumped to the previous position of the Empire Admiral, and slowly drifted towards the maintenance site. The giant beam of light from the star port tower slowly swept across the giant spaceship, the surface of which was torn apart. The huge scars and the armor layer melted by the explosion made this spaceship look like a mutant monster slowly moving forward in the beam of light. I looked up and found that it was two-thirds of the Eternal-class mothership, but it was the last The important energy-gathering section of the Galaxy's main gun is gone, and the remaining bow part looks like an Otto...
The Grand Warlord carefully fixed his position in the maintenance field, and I heard it communicating with the host computer in the star port tower on the public link: "Look at me like this..."
The host was silent for a while: "...delete the number and practice again, the durability is all red."
Then I knew that the mainframes of every tower in this Royal Starport were programmed by Bubble himself.
Behind the Great Overseer, there are dozens of large and small Vengeance Army warships. The biggest difference between these warships and other warships is that they are one. The captains of other spaceships came here with the mentality of repairing equipment, and the Great Warlord and his men came here with the mentality of seeing a doctor for plastic surgery. As long as you think about it like this, the world will suddenly become more colorful quite a few...
Of course, it is not the serious warlord who more fully confirms my above theory, but another super unreasonable guy in the Vengeance Fleet. The Warsong is now moored near Gaia, and you can see the majestic giant starship from the Royal Starport: she is so close that when viewed from here, the Warsong is almost equivalent to The size of hundreds of full moons, I could even see the metallic canyons on her surface and the shrouded domes of the math rate generators. During the battle two days ago, the Warsong was smeared by the enemy King's Lander, and now she is being groomed by the engineering team. From the public information link, I can hear that crazy guy chanting non-stop: "... eh Hey, pull up a little bit, pull up a little bit to see where you have deflected that armor plate just now. Can the surface mechanical engineering team ignore the energy release pipe? There is a hole in the face of this ship! Who will go first? Help the ship fill this hole! By the way, you go to the South Pole of the ship to see if there is any dirt on it. Why does it feel weird? Isn’t the monitoring system of the ship not activated... Oh? Meteorite, then Don't worry about it, let's put it in Antarctica first, this ship likes to play with rocks when it's free... Hey, hey, hey! Who the hell, don't make holes on the equator! We need to install new equipment and change places! This ship is keeping fit , now you can see how this figure has been formed, look at this waistline, it is all spherical... Shut up! This ship was not a Star Wars ship! This ship was... "
After hearing this, Lin Xue and I couldn't stand it anymore. That psychopath host really couldn't survive for a moment. I hope those engineering teams can endure the reminder until the end of the mission, otherwise the second lunatic will have to be unplugged.
We came to the Admiral of the Empire and inquired about the current location of the Fiali people, and later learned that most of them were staying in the ecological zone quite happily, while the queen named Aphelis was with her own The confidant stays on their ship: that is, together in the Ganakuri. I asked the person in charge of taking care of Fiali's guests, and learned that the strange queen was basically in her own spaceship. She didn't seem to have much interest in the superior environment of the Imperial Admiral's ecological zone, and all her interests were in her own spaceship. Counting stones in my warehouse, calculating how much they can sell for...
So I went to Ganaku with Lin Xue.
I first found the Ganaku guards and asked Aphelis if she had expressed any protests these days: after all, they were forgotten for several days and left in the spaceship to fend for themselves, except for the unlimited supply of supplies In addition, these outsiders are almost under house arrest on this warship. If the queen has a bit of a temper, she should have bound the complaint letter into a book by now...
As a result, the Ganaku guard thought for a while: "No, she has been busy with her own affairs, as if she never thought about being forgotten."
It seems that Aphelis is an unexpectedly calm queen. I was immediately interested: "What is she busy with?"
"Try to remove the gravity-free module of Ganaku, and sell the organic wax used to polish the carapace to the armored scorpion sergeant in the inner area of Ganaku," the guard of Ganaku called out the video in the warehouse, "In addition, according to your order, we take good care of our guests. Except for not letting them leave the living area and absolutely not buying their things, we have met all the requirements of these guests and helped them according to your order. Repaired damage on ship."
I was dumbfounded: "... Forget it, open a warehouse and let them come out... No, I'll go in."
Lin Xue and I came to the front of the Fiali No. 1 merchant ship. This three-kilometer-long elementary void transport ship was solidified in mid-air one meter above the support by the fixed force field in the warehouse. Simple maintenance with autonomous machinery - I mean simple maintenance by Xiling standards. The spaceship was originally severely damaged by the fallen apostles, but now it looks clean and stronger than before. Not only does the paint reflect a new light, even the engine nozzles have the texture of the Xiling battleship alloy, which should be It was the self-discipline machines in the warehouse that, after receiving the order to help with repairs, replaced the damaged parts of the spaceship with stronger materials according to the normal process: the Fiali people made a lot of money...
"Phyris, call Phyllis, open the hatch, we're coming to see you." I found the temporary channel currently used by the Fiari on the data terminal, called the command room of the merchant ship directly, and then heard There was a quick exclamation and a crackling sound: it seemed that something fell to the ground, or a person and a pile of things fell on the ground. In theory, it should be Phyllis and her precious stones. It fell off the shelf. Then I heard a young female voice mumble something in response, and after a while, the hatch of the merchant ship opened, and the weird queen of the Fiali Empire, her weird lieutenants, and a group of not-so-weird seniors The assistant appeared before us. Aphelis herself looked rosy, and she seemed to be in a pretty good mood. She happily shook my hand and said, "I didn't expect you to come here in person—oh, look, our spaceship has been repaired, thank you so much!" With the help offered, your engineer droids look almost too advanced...by the way, what's up?"
She is quite familiar.
I really didn't know how to say this, but in the end I scratched my hair and said: "Then what, just to say... you can go out, I will take you to see what the capital of the empire looks like."
Phyllis suddenly showed a very surprised expression: surprise mixed with doubt: "It's already here? So soon?"
I:"… "
I really don't know how to open my mouth to tell people. In fact, I arrived at the station several days ago, but they were forgotten here for various reasons.
"Let's talk," Lin Xue looked at the tall black-haired Yujie in disbelief. She seemed to be very interested in this young Queen Fiali. I don't know, "You've been here for several days, don't you know what's going on outside?"
"What's going on outside?" Aphelis—or Phyllis for short—showed a puzzled expression, "No, we think it's pretty good, and we've finished reading all the data disks you left in the past few days. The Ling Empire looks great! By the way, I felt that the warehouse was shaking violently two days ago, what are you referring to?"
Lin Xue and I looked at each other and smiled wryly, basically not knowing how to answer this confused queen.
Dare to fight bloody battles on the front line of the imperial army, and when his life was at stake, this peddler led his men to watch a two-day documentary in Ganakuri. They didn't know anything about what happened outside!
In fact, they can’t be blamed for this. After all, the stability of a spaceship like the Imperial Admiral is too high. Its safety and stability are the highest in the entire fleet. At that time, Ganakuri and the ecological zone basically maintained an external blockade and a stable internal environment. Phyllis and her team here are on the front line, only a few kilometers away from the devastating war outside with metal and shields, but if no one connects them to a high-level channel, they will never know what's going on outside . Phyllis didn't even know that the spaceship had arrived at its destination a few days ago: because she didn't expect the empire's void shuttle technology to be so advanced that it returned to the mainland of the empire within 24 hours.
To be honest, I feel very sorry for Phyllis and her group of subordinates. Anyway, they are guests from afar: Although these super vendors have attracted fallen apostles and messed up the far frontier of the empire and tried to dismantle my spaceship. , but after stripping these they are still quite...
I thought about it, and decided to end the recollection before I changed my mind: "Well, actually, the spaceship arrived a few days ago, but we encountered some troubles. The warehouse vibrated two days ago because... there was a war outside."
As soon as Phyllis heard the word "war", she immediately remembered what good things she had done when she came here, with a delicate expression on her face: "Um, it can't be related to the lunatics we brought here, right?"
"It's indeed theirs, but you didn't bring them here." I was expressionless, and I was glad that this guy who wanted money and life was still a little bit ashamed, but the next sentence from the other party was: "Great, then don't Lost money, right?"
Lin Xue rolled her eyes and looked at the supporting frame next to her: "Every time you pick up something weird."
Phyllis: "?"
I:"… "
Soon, all members of the Fiali caravan (that's what they called themselves) were notified by their queen and transferred to the teleportation center, preparing to go directly to Shadow City through hyperspace teleportation. The number of people in this line is really quite a lot: there are four to five hundred people. It stands to reason that merchant ships like theirs used to transport cargo do not have many crew members, and sometimes there are dozens of crew members on a cargo ship several kilometers long, but Phyllis explained why her A caravan will have this number of people:
"Come out and see the world, we finally made a hole in the world, and we all want to come out and see what it looks like outside..."
I stared at her dumbfounded: "I said that your world is full of such desperate guys? It's just the first cross-world voyage without drones, and you even organized a group to explore!"
Later, I felt that my exclamation was superfluous, let alone forming a group, an empire where even the queen dared to go to the unknown frontier to explore in person, how many of them could have a terrible...
In this way, a group of strange Void vendors who want money but not life (especially the leader) ended their first magnificent Void adventure, and finally survived to the safest safe haven in the multiverse: Shadow City.
Let's hope they settle down for a while... I always feel like I'm bringing the biggest troubles into my house. RS
