Chapter 606: Ancient Artifact

Views:

After realizing that their signal transmitter had been located, the people of the Angel Legion immediately made the decision to destroy the three ships. They turned their guns and launched an attack on their spaceship without hesitation, but they carried the signal. The three spaceships used for the launcher are obviously extremely important. They are all refitted from heavily armored motherships, and may have undergone special designs for core defense. In the first round, only one spaceship seemed to suffer a fatal attack. At this time, the space-time collapse device of the Admiral Empire has been activated.

Under the noses of the Angel Legion, their three warships, which must not fall into the hands of the enemy, shook violently, then shrank sharply within the scope of vision, and finally fell into another space.

Sivis looked at the floating screen in front of him. There was a window on it that was always monitoring the mysterious signal in space. As the enemy's signal ship sank into the space fold, now it finally turned into a lifeless straight line—the signal was terminated.

"Mothership phalanx, concentrate superior firepower, fully annihilate the remnants of the rebel army, assault ships attack the main formation of the Angel Legion, soldiers, the emperor is watching you!!"

Although what I was looking at was actually the last piece of orange that was about to be wiped out in Lilina's hand, Sivis' inspiring voice turned into the overwhelming fighting spirit of the soldiers of the empire, and the Xiling battleship, which had already gained the absolute upper hand, began to criss-cross Galloping to reap the enemy troops, the assault ship pilots who had long been holding back their strength to beat up the angel warships were even more like Pandora out of the cage, fiercely pounced on the fragile "lower civilization" army.

After the latter found that their only reliance had disappeared, they finally completely lost their will to resist, and began to change their course in an organized manner, trying to escape from this star system that no longer belonged to them. Forming a regular army, they also lacked real military literacy. When the signal device used by the brave was finished, they immediately collapsed.

But in front of the imperial army, fleeing is more stupid than fighting. Our assault ships have the fastest speed and sensitivity in the entire universe when they are cruising. Those high-speed warships that rely on vector reversal devices for maneuvering are best at hunting The remnants were defeated, and when the first Imperial Assault Ship rushed into the Angel Legion's main line, it released a large-scale jump interference signal, causing 80% of the enemy's jump engines to fall into a "blind spot" for several minutes, and Just a few minutes is enough for the Imperial Fleet to rush into the flock.

"Hey, if they fight to the end, at least they can get a little respect from the soldiers of the empire."

A disdainful sneer suddenly came from beside me, and I turned my head immediately when I heard the words, but I didn't see anyone.

Then he lowered his head and found that Weiska was gulping juice.

Maotong Loli immediately said: "My brother must have done it on purpose! He must have deliberately pretended not to see us the first time!"

"Okay, okay, I surrender, I surrender, your voice is still hoarse." Laughing loudly, Huska hugged and rubbed his face twice, and I felt that my mood gradually eased from the tension during the battle. , "All the rebels have been wiped out?"

On the other side, Pandora, who was also pouring water, blinked her big gray eyes, and held up an iǎ sign that read: "Mmm."

... so concise.

Pull, pull, pull.

Probably seeing that only Viska was getting intimate, even Pandora, who was calm and breezy, couldn't help but began to take the initiative to tug at the corner of my clothes, and changed a sign with the other hand: "Hug."

The cuteness is bubbling over this girl.

I stretched out my other hand to hug Pandora, and rubbed the latter's soft iǎ face. I looked at her who was speechless because of the continuous release of helium flashes, and looked at her again, although her throat was a little Weiska, who was dumb but still yelled with infinite vitality, was sleepy: "Huiska, is your voice okay?"

The cat pupil loli laughed, and took out something from her pocket: watermelon cream lozenges.

"Eat half a catty before the helium flash, and drink plenty of water after the helium flash. The stupid sister doesn't know this."

I:"… "

Is this a miracle in the history of human medicine

There is no suspense in the subsequent battles. The number of rebels attracted by the signal is inferior to ours, and their combat effectiveness is also weaker than that of the imperial army with high-level commanders. Under our concentrated attack, they are now dead. And the Angel Legion is even more vulnerable. Their two armies on the two wings were wiped out under our first round of blows, and the central army was completely strangled by the Xiling battleship after the sending device was captured. The number is huge, but the combat effectiveness of those patchwork spaceships is actually weaker than any army we have seen in this universe. It is not that the quality of the spaceship itself is poor, but the military quality of the enemy...

Forget it, he was a member of the pirate regiment a few years ago, so how strong is his military quality

From this point of view, the Angel Legion's ability to become the second largest force in such a cruel place in the Eastern Sky Region should rely on the power of the "Shepherd". The secret hidden in that sending device seems to be hard to see.

This star system is already under the control of the Imperial Army, but we don't intend to use it as a permanent territory-for us, it has little strategic value. Originally, the plan of the Imperial Army was to conduct a surprise attack on this place, to see what Lilina said about the years when the rebels and the Angel Legion were burning, and to test several tactics for fighting the rebels head-on. We did not expect to attract so many enemies. If Vega hadn't located the enemy's signal transmitter in time, there would definitely not be only two groups of rebels attracted. Now we have got what we want. Should leave this area.

It took a little effort to salvage the three warships that sank into the space fold. They have very complete protection technology. They were still working, and the moment they were salvaged, the lingering signal appeared again. I could only activate an indiscriminate energy freeze. problem.

"I always feel, should we completely destroy this galaxy?"

Lilina looked at the star that was rapidly moving away on the floating screen, and muttered, "It was finally shot down, even if it is useless to occupy it, it can't just be returned to those pirates."

"The problem is that all the enemy troops there are dead now, and the rest are miners and civilians. We have to talk about humanitarianism," I shook my head, "and keeping this place will make the Angel Legion even more troublesome. They must Uā made great efforts to rebuild the planet's defenses. That star system is a huge source of gravity. It is suitable as a springboard for sending troops abroad, which means it is more suitable as a target for the enemy's transition. But if we really destroy the entire star system, the Angel Legion Instead, I can abandon this ruin that has become a chicken rib alone."

Lilina squinted at me: "That is to say, apart from humanitarianism, the rest are the truth, right?"

"Ahem...you can't say that..."

The γ-6 galaxy has become an iǎ point within the line of sight, and the imperial army in an invisible state is speeding up towards the border of the Roland Gaelic Consortium. It is Lilina who is in contact with the most powerful Roland Gaelic Consortium here. Suggestion, she has a high opinion of those people. It is said that they are the only forces in the Eastern Sky Region who are likely to stand on the side of the Imperial Army—of course, I am afraid they will not have the courage to let them directly fight the shepherds, but like the Kingdom of Freedom It should still be possible to be a helper like that, Roland Gaier's tough leader has the courage.

What's more important is what Lilina mentioned: "If there is any secret hidden in the Xiling artifact held by the Angel Legion, then the Roland Gael Consortium, which has been dealing with them for so many years, must be an insider."

For this reason, we decided to contact the leader of Roland Gale first, and then decide on the issue of confrontation with the Angel Legion and the rebels in the Eastern Sky Region.

Perhaps it was because she really got along with the Roland Gael people during her mission, or maybe it was the brief contact with the Roland Gael leader before the retreat played a role. Lilina seemed to have obtained the consortium's entry permit without much effort. This surprised me, but if you think about it, maybe the latter dare not refuse our entry application at all... At least we still applied.

Tavel has already started to analyze the salvaged warship wrecks in the ship's research institute. I don't know if I found anything. I greeted my sister and decided to go and have a look in person. Pandora and Viska also wanted to go together. The research institute It's in the cross arm area of the battleship ten kilometers away from the bridge, but the transportation in the spaceship is very convenient, and there are taxis at the entrance.

"...I said, the buddy who rented out the Imperial Admiral is not only still in business, but also established a company?"

I didn’t realize it until I got off at the entrance of the research institute. I was speechless for a long time when I saw the words “Cross-arm rental, please call channel 777” on the buttocks of the taxi that was leaving.

Viska next to him shrugged: "They mainly run the line of the cross arm of the battleship, and there is a competitor called the longitudinal arm rental, calling the taxi channel 111. The two taxi companies have been fighting like a hot kiln these two days. , because the longitudinal arm of the Imperial Admiral is 225 kilometers longer than the transverse arm, the market share of the longitudinal arm rental company is much larger than that of the transverse arm, and the market competition is fierce... "

I was stunned for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "I'm really full, I can't afford public transportation."

Pandora immediately raised the iǎ signboard: "No one is sitting, closed down."

That’s right, military transport planes can be used for mission trips in the main flagship. At other times, there is no fixed group passenger flow at all. Those who travel on public transport go back and forth and go back and forth with empty cars. How many rental cars are enough... I don’t know about this stupid thing Should I complain.

I don’t know if Tavel himself minds, but I feel that her research institute has been turned into a garbage recycling bin recently. The wreckage of warships we collected from the battlefield are spoils of war, but it is undeniable that in the mouth of industry insiders These things are often referred to as scrap copper and rotten iron, and these rags have been continuously piled up on several disassembly platforms of Tavel, from the most advanced imperial rebel cruiser to the Angel Legion sampan ship we salvaged now, all kinds of Garbage has everything.

The space required to disassemble a spaceship is very large. Even if we only need to disassemble one or two cabins, Tavel had to temporarily use the engineering hall as a research room. When we arrived, she was directing several The assistant cut off a large piece of metal fragments. There are several anti-gravity platforms in the engineering hall with a radius of hundreds of meters. Now these platforms are hovering with similar mechanical components, and the most eye-catching one is naturally the one closest to the The slowly rotating crystal-metal combination on Tavel's platform.

"This is the signal transmitter," Tavel held an information screen in his hand. She is wearing a researcher's white robe and looks heroic now. For this research girl whose glasses are her body, the laboratory is her battlefield— Although it looks like a waste recycling bin, "We took a lot of effort to turn off this thing, but it finally succeeded. There should have been three triggers, but one of them was seriously injured by the soldiers of the Angel Legion when the scorpions broke into the battleship." Blow up, and there is another one. The mothership carrying it was hit by the main gun of the Angel Legion when it was about to sink into the space fold, and even the spaceship's launcher was scrapped. Fortunately, this one is still complete. detached and is now scanning its interior."

The more I listened, the more curious I became: "How can a device made by humans cause you such a big trouble?"

The scorpions whose brains are not very easy to use are not bad, they are not good at anything that requires the use of brain tissue, but Tavier is a character who is as knowledgeable as a monster here, and the equipment made by mere humans can still be difficult. she

"I don't know where this thing came from, but it is definitely not something made by a low-level civilization like the Angel Legion," Tavel turned around, looked at the weird machine emitting a faint glow, and his tone was extremely serious. "It's very advanced and amazing. Although the scan results haven't come out yet, I think the technology used in this thing has probably reached the level of the empire's technology. The Angel Legion uses three huge aircraft carriers to carry these devices that are only two meters high. It is entirely to protect them, and more importantly, their poor and primitive technology can't control these equipment well at all, we have already carried out preliminary disassembly of those aircraft carriers, you see, these are-"

As Tavel said, he pointed to the huge metal blocks suspended on the surrounding anti-gravity platforms.

"These are the remains of the compartments that were once used to install the launchers. The Angel Legion transformed the entire aircraft carrier into a control slot to realize the two simple operations of 'opening' and 'closing' the launching devices. They provide these compartments Seventeen independent reactors are configured in the section to activate the transmitters in the lowest mode. There are indications that the people of the Angel Legion can't really use these three beacons with complex structures. The functions of the beacons cannot be mastered, but these beacons can only send some strange signals to summon the imperial rebels, but why the rebels respond to these signals and protect the sender of the signals... Sorry, my majesty, Not enough data to analyze."

"It's okay, you continue." I have been aroused by Tavel's series of discoveries, and I vaguely feel that some secrets are about to be revealed.

"Then there's this thing, which makes me sleepy." As Tavel said, he swiped his finger in the air next to him, and presented a holographic projection more than one meter high in front of us, showing a series of complex three-dimensional Structure, "This is the distribution map of the energy field around these devices. After marking them with different colors according to their energy frequencies, it will appear like this. Here, and here, there are two obvious faults. "

"What's the meaning?"

I asked honestly.

"It means that these three hair generators are not independent and complete equipment, they are disassembled from another larger thing," the glasses girl pushed the glasses, and the momentary reflection made me instantly stunned by her momentum "I've seen the truth..."

Unfortunately, Tavel's imposing speech was suddenly interrupted by a researcher who hurried over: "Chief Tavel, His Majesty, and two generals, the scan results are out! Please look, this... this incredible thing!!"

After finishing speaking, the researcher who had been in charge of scanning the structure of the transmitter just now turned on the portable projection device and connected it to the anti-gravity platform carrying the samples of the transmitter. Immediately, the scanning results were simultaneously displayed on the volley rotating on the sample.

The two-meter-high crystal-metal structure is divided in two from the middle, one half is a normal visual map, and the other half is transparent, revealing the internal perspective structure—a dense honeycomb-like crystal grid, large There are large groups of bright lines, and fast-moving spots of light that don't seem to have any effect.

Anyway, I didn't understand anything, only Tavel exclaimed: "Spirit crystal?!"

"What the hell?"

"It is a special crystal structure, which is used in the mainframe management device of the modified imperial mothership. It can be responsible for the co-processing communication function between the shipboard mainframes. It can also perform extremely efficient information processing procedures. The mothership level The thinking module of the Xiling host is a variant of the spirit crystal, but this... it is too big! The entire co-processing array of the Imperial Admiral is only half the size of this thing, and the subordinates even doubt our current technology Can the means create such a huge spiritual crystal structure! It is almost a technological miracle!"

At this moment, I admitted that I was stunned again, and a thought kept coming back in my mind: Is such a thing in the child's mother's mind

Tavel has already entered the research state as if no one was there, and even ignored her emperor and general, constantly zooming in and out of the holographic projection in front of her, and Tavel's exclamation never stopped. For ten minutes, she Only then did I realize that there was a bewildered head of state standing next to him.

Well, there are also two confused imperial generals, Pandora and Hueska who specialize in fighting, and they also don't know anything about these advanced professional things.

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty," Tavel pushed his glasses awkwardly, "This is something I've never seen before. It's obviously from Imperial technology, but its size and function are beyond my imagination. In my impression, any kind of imperial mothership will not use this device, and this spirit crystal has been modified, and now it can no longer be used to establish co-processing communication, and its true function will take a long time to decipher. This device is very old, it may have been running continuously for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, and it is still in the timing standby state. The poor technology of the Angel Legion can only let the energy impact its surface structure, and then return a bunch of things that can make the traitor It was just a signal from the army swarming in. This device was never really activated. Fortunately, those low civilizations failed to cause structural damage to this ancient device. It will take some time for the subordinates to decipher the information storage of this ancient device. Module, there is some connection between this thing and the rebels, maybe it records the secret of the birth of the rebels!" A
