"Your Majesty, there is something suspicious happening near the lucky star."
Along with the release of a large number of micro-detection devices, more than three months later, a slightly strange emergency message came suddenly through the Enterprise.
Lucky Star, this is a giant gas planet discovered in the outer solar system two years ago.
It is more than a quarter of a light-year away from the Earth, and its mass is more than four times that of Jupiter and more than a thousand times that of the Earth.
Its outer layer is composed entirely of gas, with more than 90% hydrogen content.
As the height decreases, the density of the gas increases. At a certain depth, the gas turns into a liquid state under the action of pressure.
Because of the nearly unlimited hydrogen element, this planet is regarded by the exploration fleet as a supplementary place for nuclear fusion raw materials, but development has not yet begun.
In addition, the lucky star also has an extremely dense stone or metal core. A conservative estimate is that the mass of this core must be at least 100 times that of the earth.
In the analysis, this core should have been slowly accumulated over countless years by the lucky star using its huge gravity to swallow passing planets, including other small celestial bodies.
Due to the extremely harsh environment of Lucky Star, and limited to certain deficiencies in exploration technology, the Earth Kingdom, including Endeavor, is currently unable to break through its too huge outer core and scan the true situation inside.
However, the development of this giant planet has been included in the cabinet agenda. On its three satellites, several small bases have been built by intelligent robots.
"What's going on?" Wang Dong's heart moved slightly.
There is no abnormality yet in the Blue Sea Star Alliance.
The Haiwen Empire has not been completely defeated yet.
According to common sense, even if the dark beasts want to take revenge on the earth, they should not come so quickly... In addition, they should not deflect in the direction of the lucky star.
"Within an area, all the detectors mysteriously lost their signals, but our three bases did not find any abnormalities. Wait..."
The Enterprise, which crossed space and flew to the star field around the Lucky Star, was connected to three bases. It was reporting to Wang Dong the suspicious phenomena that had occurred in the past few days, when suddenly Yang Xin's voice stopped again.
"Another detector has been destroyed, the target has been found, there are four... huh?"
After more than ten seconds, the report sounded again, and at the same time, some surprises and... a strong sense of interest appeared.
Through the hyperspace communicator, the Enterprise's optical brain and DW-1 were connected, and a picture was directly presented in front of Wang Dong's eyes.
Strange beast!
All four are strange beasts!
Moreover, they are all very familiar strange beasts!
One is a golden dragon turtle with two giants.
One is a giant Western dragon with a blue body.
There are two more, one is blazing red and the other is snow-white, both are dragons.
It was the four-headed beast emperor who escaped into the endless space more than twenty years ago by hunting down Cheng Daqi and Emma, and has been missing since then.
"It shouldn't be them."
"Just the four of them are not enough to cause all the detectors in an area to mysteriously lose their signals, and they haven't been discovered by us yet."
After checking the information in the previous top-secret database, Wang Dong would not fail to recognize these four beast emperors.
But when he recognized it, his heart wrinkled again.
The radius of the Beast Emperor's domain is only more than a hundred kilometers at most, and it is impossible to block the exploration of the detector...
"There is no need to act in a hurry. Send a squadron first and lock them from a long distance."
After thinking for a while, Wang Dong issued an order: "Order the three satellite bases to release the detectors again, with the focus... leaning towards the direction of the lucky star."
"In addition, the Enterprise does not need to get close to the base. After everything is found out, it can decide whether to kill those four or go directly to the South Gate Star."…
It has only been ten years since the Council decided to redeem scientific and technological data. In addition, these data are only a selected part and are not the complete data of the second-level civilization... The current level of the Earth Kingdom's detectors should be between the first-level scientific and technological civilization.
and between secondary technological civilization.
Can make them appear abnormal...
In Wang Dong's estimation, there are at least three possibilities.
One, a highly civilized spaceship passed by... Because I didn't want to be explored by the detector, I used some tricks.
One way, there is an extremely powerful cosmic powerhouse passing by... Possessing planetary level, or a higher level of absolute power, it should be possible.
There is another way... Until now, the exploration of Lucky Star has not yet entered into reality. Maybe there are some unsolved mysteries inside this huge planet.
No matter which one of the three situations it is, as the Earth Kingdom's only mothership-level transport spacecraft, and it is still undergoing interstellar migration, the Enterprise is obviously not suitable for exploration.
Staying far away, while replenishing the loss of source energy, feedback all abnormalities to Wang Dong. If there is anything wrong, get out of the way immediately... This is the caution that the Enterprise should and must maintain.
"yes."
Yang Xin nodded.
Although he was full of interest in hunting the once unrivaled Beast Emperor, after suppressing this interest, he also realized something was wrong.
The Enterprise is not for adventure.
Even if the four beast emperors are temporarily let go, the Enterprise is not suitable for casually entering an area full of unknown dangers.
……………………
"Someone!"
While Wang Dong was maintaining contact with the Enterprise.
Three detectors were destroyed in an instant, and the bodies of the four water, fire, dragon and turtles suddenly stopped.
"Old Turtle, what do you say?"
The long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and the blue dragon glanced at the huge stars in the distance, and then turned to the water and fire dragon turtle.
Since that battle that year, since the alien energy covering the earth has completely dissipated, since the old dragon turtle has arranged the signal source early, penetrated the atmosphere, and transmitted the signal to them... there is no need to think more.
Since the alien energy has completely dissipated, the earth must have fallen into the hands of those people.
Immediately, the endless "migration" began.
Skipping those planets that are not too far from the earth, and skipping those celestial bodies in the outer solar system that are not suitable for settlement...the blue dragon has lost count of how many years they have been flying.
Finally, a few days ago, they observed a new star.
But... there is an aircraft!
If there are aircraft, that means there are "people"!
And if there are people... there may be danger.
"You started too quickly."
Shaking his head, the Water Fire Dragon Turtle's eyes wrinkled. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Judging from the time of our flight and the time of those people's return to Earth, these people should not be the same people back then.
.
Instead of provoking them directly, we might try to make some contact with them.
If you are unable to defeat them, then try to coexist with them and avoid the pain of continuing to migrate.
And if their strength is only average..."
A cold light flashed through the eyes of the Water Fire Dragon Turtle... There are no prohibitions imposed by the old master here.
"Who would have expected that there would be people in this kind of place... It was a conditioned reflex." The corner of Lihuo Dragon's mouth curved, except for the old dragon turtle who was as calm as a mountain, the three aircraft were divided equally by them.
"What should we do now?" The giant tail flicked impatiently, and Xuanbing Jiaolong's eyes narrowed.
It has been completely impatient with the long and boring journey in the universe. In the past few years, it has been thinking about whether it would have simply stayed on the earth and fought hard if it had known the current situation.
A handful...
"Since their aircraft has been moved, under normal circumstances, they should be alert."
He pondered again. The Water Fire Dragon Turtle paddled lightly on all four legs and continued to fly forward unhurriedly. He then said: "While we pay attention to our own safety, we will try not to conflict with them if we can, even if they are on the other side."
Launch a retaliatory attack.
In short, try our best to convey our "friendliness" to them... Finally, let's play by chance."
Just like the Black Ice Dragon, from the inside, the Water Fire Dragon Turtle is also tired of this extremely empty and completely aimless "travel", but it has never shown it on the surface.
However, since there is a chance to get rid of this emptiness...even if there may be some dangers, it feels that it is necessary to try it.
His eyes wrinkled slightly inadvertently, and his gaze exchanged with the two dragons. After a moment's hesitation, the blue dragon also followed... At this time, if they dispersed, they might be in greater danger.
Immediately, the Lihuo Dragon and the Black Ice Dragon also swam away at the same time.
……………………
"General Yang, after the target destroys three reconnaissance vehicles, continue to move towards the lucky star."
"Target did not attack surrounding observers."
"Judging from the target's flight speed, they will approach Base No. 3 within two hours."
"Please indicate whether it is necessary to intercept the target?"
From the reconnaissance device to the base, and then from the base to the Enterprise, one after another information is continuously transmitted to the optical brain.
Immediately afterwards, the calculation and judgment of the optical brain, the pondering and consideration of the human brain, and a slight trace of ridicule appeared in the corner of Yang Xin's mouth.
"In the past, we were so arrogant that the entire earth was shrouded in the shadow of catastrophe."
"Today, you will be forced by the endless emptiness to be willing to approach others with such a low profile..."
"Sure enough, it's tit for tat."
The same thought also circulated in Wang Dong's heart, but besides this sarcastic meaning, he also thought about another thought.
"General Yang, send six squadrons to base No. 3. Once they approach, immediately activate the lock and launch an attack.
However, pay attention to controlling the firepower so as to pose a certain threat to them but not kill them.
Force them away from Base No. 3 and let them be the vanguard to explore the lucky star."
After ten years of construction, the Endeavor has a total of twelve squadrons.
Each squadron has thirty-two main battleships.
Each main battleship is equipped with a powerful particle cannon.
Unlike detectors, these particle cannons are completely second-level technological civilization level weapons.
Six squadrons, a total of 192 main battleships. In addition to the defensive weapons originally deployed at the No. 3 base... When the distance is close to a certain level, there is a chance to kill a Beast Emperor in one combined attack.
.
However, there is no rush to kill the Beast Emperor.
In Wang Dong's mind, the top priority at this time should be to first find out the source of the abnormality.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hearing that the Beast Emperor was asked to explore the lucky star, Yang Xin understood what Wang Dong meant.
Immediately, following the squadron that flew out a few moments earlier, a large number of battleships quickly flew out from inside the Enterprise.
At the same time, in the space densely populated by detectors, there are also lasers that are constantly lighting up... Naturally, with the energy system of the detectors, these lasers can only slightly hinder the Beast Emperor at most, and it is impossible to break through their territory.
threaten them.
But with this obstruction, it is enough.
At least until the squadron arrives at Base No. 3, it is impossible for the Water Fire Dragon Turtle and the others to arrive in advance...
……………………
"A swarm of ants."
Through the light screen, his faint eyes looked down at everything in outer space.
A woman. A coquettish, enchanting, seductive woman who was also filled with an extreme sense of power. A sneer flowed inadvertently from the corner of her mouth.
In the light screen, the four-headed Beast Emperor, the three major satellite bases, all the squadrons, and the Enterprise in the far distance, and even... even the contact signals between the satellite bases and the Enterprise, all appeared on it.
.
"Tie Xue, have you figured out the origins of these people?"
The woman was in an extremely weird battleship.
The battleship is not big. It is only thirty meters long at most, like an arthropod, and its hull is divided into thirteen sections.
The head and tail are like sickles, and the eleven sections in the middle have eleven barbs extending from the same side.
As if it was alive, this strange battleship had been squirming slightly, just like an ordinary person breathing.
"The reading has been roughly completed."
"This is a member state of the Southern Cross Union, but it is located in a remote area. It is a new member and a new country with second-level technology."
"The only thing that needs a little attention is that their king is a planet-level powerhouse."
"But you just need to pay a little attention. He doesn't have much time to advance to the planetary level."
Except for the woman, there was no one else in the battleship. The one who responded was a sickle-shaped purple blood battle flag in the center of the light screen. The shape of this battle flag was exactly the same as the head and tail of the battleship.
"It's the Southern Cross League again!"
"Sooner or later, these guys walking on the surface, as well as those beasts, will all become my slaves!"
The seductive eyes narrowed slightly, the woman snorted softly, and asked again: "Tie Xue, how much more time do you need?"
"The absorption of the Kedarin Crystal will take another thirteen months, and the absorption of the Protoss Diamond will take seven months. It will take a total of twenty months to complete the evolution." Purple Blood War Flag responded.
"Twenty months!"
"Fandri and Madeline join forces, and with the assistance of the Iron-Blooded Fleet, they can fight and move at the same time to delay those beasts for twenty months. There should be no problem."
Her brows slowly loosened, and she looked down at every move in space. The woman snorted again: "Let you live for another twenty months... When the time comes, I will use your flesh and blood to celebrate the evolution of iron blood."
At that time, we will also settle accounts with those beasts..."
"Master Banrui, you should pay attention to your approach."
But at this moment, the Purple Blood War Flag took the initiative to interrupt her thoughts: "I once reminded you that 30 million years ago, the Iron Blood Empire was on the verge of being promoted to a fourth-level civilized country because it acted too radically.
At the critical moment, in the ng3001 galaxy, it was completely destroyed by the Nasha Empire.
The Galactic Empire of the Milky Way, the Coiled Serpent Clan of the Triangle Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, these are all behemoths that can rival the Nasha Empire.
Even if I complete my evolution, if I am directly targeted by them, I will hardly stand a chance of escaping.
In addition, according to the information collected over the years, the Queen of the Suang Empire of the Southern Cross Alliance may also have the ability to directly threaten us..."
"What do you mean?" The enchanting woman's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Maybe you can try to unite with other forces."
Zixue Zhanqi’s voice was flat: “When I complete my evolution, ordinary stellar overlords will not be able to threaten your safety even in front of you.
At that time, the Haiwen Empire can truly be on an equal footing with the Oren Star Alliance, the Suang Empire, and the Heavenly King Empire.
You can choose to join on one side, maintain the balance of the surrounding star field, and at the same time reduce the Galactic Empire's attention to us as much as possible.
As long as we don't attract their attention, we will have more time to develop. Sooner or later, like the Iron-Blooded Empire back then, we will find the key to being promoted to a fourth-level civilized country."...
"Union! Balance!"
Her eyes flickered, and slowly, another strange smile emerged from the corner of the woman's mouth: "Tie Xue, I find that your thinking ability is getting stronger and stronger..."
"My core is the civilization seed that carries all the technology of the Iron-Blooded Empire. In its final form, it can become the central mastermind of the fourth-level technological civilization.
As long as this evolution is completed, I will be able to gain completely independent thinking ability on the premise of being loyal to the host." Purple Blood War Flag's response was still dull, as if he didn't care about the hidden meaning in the woman's words at all...or maybe there was none in the first place.
Need to care.
"Okay, if you can think independently and make independent judgments on everything, I can feel more relaxed."
The woman smiled brightly and put away those strange expressions: "This time, as you said, after everything is completed and after sniping those beasts, we will negotiate with the Southern Cross Alliance... I also want to know,
So what kind of abilities and courage does Queen Maha, who like me, rules a huge empire as a woman, have?
But before that... depending on the opportunity, give them another electromagnetic storm."
The purple battleship is located inside the Lucky Star, at the junction of the liquid layer and the inner core layer.
At the top of it is a giant whirlwind that never stops.
The diameter of the cyclone exceeds 20,000 kilometers. From the perspective of the universe, it looks like an incredibly huge red spot.
The reason why it is a red spot... inside the cyclone, it is endless red lightning.
(It’s snowing heavily tonight...
I have finally finished running Relatives, and I can basically resume normal updates starting tomorrow, but the first update tomorrow will still be a little later.. There is not enough time)
