"Check the base records." Austin ordered, then stood behind the captain and stared at the image.
After a while, images from the base were transmitted. This is a mobile base specially designed to house military galaxy management masterminds. It is not large, and usually has more than a thousand fixed personnel. At this moment, the base is dead silent, and every place looks like
It's normal, but there's no one around. The main brain has completely entered autonomous operation and automatically handles everything according to preset instructions.
Austin quickly locked on to a point in time, which was 16 hours ago. One second, everything was normal. The staff in the base maintained a normal but slightly lazy working attitude. The next second, they all suddenly disappeared, and there was no trace left.
Any trace will disappear!
Austin took over the captain's position and adjusted it himself. He quickly locked on a staff member and then slowed down the image. During the 100x slow playback, the crew member suddenly lost his three-dimensional sense and became like a photo.
The plane then starts to disappear from the edge, as if someone has erased it with an eraser!
Seeing this weird scene, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
"Why didn't you call the police?" Austin asked.
The base was still operating normally one moment, with hundreds of staff at their posts, and the next moment everyone suddenly disappeared. There should be a major problem with the operation of the base. The mastermind should automatically check and issue an alarm, take rescue measures, and report it to superiors.
Ask for help from the rear base. But the main brain does not. It just turns all operations to automatic processing, and then runs quietly.
The captain said: "The reaction of the mastermind is abnormal. It should be controlled by someone. Is it a spy of the dynasty?"
The staff officer on the side said: "What happened to the image just now? If the spy wants to use fake images to buy time, he shouldn't use this kind of image, right?"
Austin asked: "How's the planet doing?"
The captain sent out a communication and then said: "Everything is normal on the planet. The ground garrison headquarters said that routine contact with the main brain base is normal, but there has been no contact with the star port base for two days. The fleet is investigating."
Austin said: "Just go and have a look and you'll find out."
The spacecraft adjusted its direction and flew towards the main brain base.
After a while, the spacecraft docked at the base. Austin walked out of the hatch and entered the base. Everything in the base looked normal, even the lights were the same as before, and were not adjusted to the dark red color of fully automatic processing. Entering the base, the first thing was
There was a hall with various equipment scattered everywhere, and there were several broken coffee cups on the floor. The coffee stains had long since dried.
Austin looked around, and an image emerged in his mind. There were originally more than a dozen staff in this hall, all busy with their own things, and then they all suddenly disappeared at that moment, and the coffee cups in their hands fell to the ground.
It fell to pieces.
Austin walked around the base, and there were things dropped by the staff after they suddenly disappeared. Looking at the master brain records, he could only see that the master brain switched to fully automatic operation, but why did it switch, who gave the order, and why
If you don't call the police to the rear, you will have no clue about these problems. Perhaps you can only find out the clues by calling in the master brain experts. Austin himself is a complete layman on the master brain. However, he got the location of the star port base from the master brain, but lost contact with the star port base.
More than 48 hours.
At this time, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. The starport base was built for the parking and supply of large starships. It can dock heavy cruisers and perform maintenance on starships of destroyers and below. It is a large base with tens of thousands of people inside.
It has a staff and garrison, and is usually the base of the Planetary Guard Fleet. How could such a base lose contact for 48 hours? Under normal circumstances, this incident would be enough to alarm the Star Territory War Zone, and the war zone would send personnel to investigate.
Austin immediately said: "Go to the starport base."
On the way to the star port base, Austin contacted the Planetary Ground Guard Command. The command replied that contacting the star port base was the responsibility of the garrison fleet, and the fleet had already responded and was checking.
What about the fleet?
The garrison fleet in the other side of the galaxy is not large, just a few destroyers and frigates. Now the dynasty has no spare capacity to form a raid fleet, and there is no need to deploy a large number of garrison fleets in the rear. Besides, the Federation currently has a serious shortage of starships, and it has no starships to deploy.
The ship can be deployed. This is an inconspicuous small fleet, and its whereabouts at this moment are a mystery. Austin tried to call, but there was no response. The planetary ground defenders and the fleet belong to two systems, and the fleet has not responded for more than a day. They thought
The fleet was performing a mission, so communication silence was implemented.
Austin tried to inquire about the location of the garrison fleet, but was told that he did not have enough authority to inquire. During the war, the movements of the fleet were top secret. Although this fleet is small in size, as long as it is not directly subordinate to it, inquiring requires the highest S
level permissions.
Austin did not give up this time. Instead, he found a few friends in the army and asked them to find a way to inquire about the whereabouts of the garrison fleet. As a result, several friends inquired and found that the information about the garrison fleet had been upgraded, and now even the war zone
None of them have the right to inquire. To inquire, you must order an order from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And it was Schiller who ordered the promotion.
Austin didn't say much and just accelerated the starship. An hour later, the starship entered the orbit of another planet. According to the location provided by the master brain, the starport base was now on the other side of the planet's orbit, also facing the sun.
Austin's starship slowly circled the planet and finally saw the starport.
Only half of the star port base is left, and the other half is missing. The fractures are arc-shaped, as if a giant beast has bitten and swallowed it in one bite. Austin has been in war for a long time and has experienced hundreds of battles, but
I have never seen such a wound before, and I don't know what kind of weapon can cause such damage.
There was silence in the starship, and finally Austin gave the order to approach the base and take a closer look.
The starship flew to the other side of the base. From this angle, the interior of the starport base could be clearly seen through the gap. After observing for a while, Austin put on his armor and flew directly to the base. A dozen of his subordinates also followed.
Starship.
Austin approached the base and looked at the fracture. The section of the gap was extremely smooth, as if it had been carefully polished, but the arc was not continuous and looked a bit like undulating waves.
Those who can follow Austin are not ordinary people. One person said: "I don't think humans currently have any weapons that can cause such wounds."
His current position is as a gunner on a starship. In fact, he is also a shipborne weapons expert, one of the few in the entire federation. If he says no, that means he doesn't.
