The huge silver-white space entity looks like it has been operating in that position for many, many years, so that many ancillary facilities of different styles, old and new, can be seen on its ellipsoidal shell, and many small highlights are on
Those facilities were constantly passing between each other, like a swarm of bees flying around a beehive.
When Nolan enlarged the picture, Hao Ren saw that the bodies of those "swarms" were actually various aircraft: they looked extremely small compared with the size of the space station, and the size of the "silver dome"
This is evident from this.
Hao Ren naturally thought of the information he had seen on the reliefs in the ruins of the city. At the last moment of the catastrophe that swept the planet, humans built a huge spaceship that destroyed less than one-tenth of the population and a large number of people.
The spaceship depicted in the picture of Resources Launched into Space looks like a giant egg. Although the details are different, this can be explained by the continuous renovation and additions over thousands of years.
The space station Nolan observed was the exile spacecraft launched that year. It did not go to deep space, but stayed in high orbit?
Then this spaceship was not chased by the eldest son, but safely escaped the doomsday disaster that happened on the ground, and has survived to this day?
Hao Ren frowned and made a bolder guess: "Could this space station... be the 'Zenith' that those aircraft mentioned in their communications?"
Hao Ren has been searching for the location of the survivors' base for the past two days. However, Nolan has expanded the scanning range to most of the planet. In addition to finding a large number of traces of fighting and capturing several battle scenes, he has not observed anything similar to a human base camp.
Nangong Sanba once speculated whether the humans on this planet would have built their base underground, but his guess made him roll up his tail and throw him around for fifteen minutes. Windmill Wuyue thought she
My brain is full of water and needs to be dried out. Everyone agrees with this.
Why is this so unclear: What else is there under the ground besides a bunch of tentacles of the eldest son? Only when humans are deceived would they take refuge in the armpits of the eldest son!
So after discovering that there was no human base on the surface, Hao Ren speculated whether the survivors might come from outer space. However, Nolan did not have the ability to expand his scope of activities to space before he could take off, so he did not take any action for the time being.
.
Unexpectedly...his guess would be verified so quickly.
"Did the escape spacecraft back then hang directly in orbit and become a space station?" Hao Ren touched his chin, "Where is this 'ship' now?"
"You may not believe it. We always thought there were two moons in the sky, but in fact the smaller moon is this 'ship'." Nolan's figure jumped out from the corner of the holographic image, "It has become a
Stable on-orbit facilities, and I observed an aircraft of the same type as the 'bomber' I saw before detached from this space station and flew to the surface of the planet, so it is basically certain that the survivors observed on the surface
That's where the rebels came from, it's the 'Zenith' mentioned in the communication."
"I really guessed it. This ship didn't fly far," Hao Ren pressed his finger between his eyebrows. "This is simply unexplainable... The eldest son would watch the enemy's base right under his nose without doing anything.
Launch an attack? The laser beam released by its tentacles is enough to destroy everything in orbit. There is no reason why it can't do anything with this 'Zenith'."
At this time, Yzaks also threw the cards in his hand aside: "More than that, what I'm more curious about is where do these survivors get their resources? They lose several bombers in one mission. I'm afraid this kind of action has been going on for so many years.
In progress, they only have one spaceship hanging in orbit... How can they produce so many war weapons? Let alone production, I find it incredible how they have kept the space station operating for so many years."
"They have a source of raw materials, which is on the real moon." Nolan said, and the picture on the holographic projection turned.
Hao Ren saw a piece of pale land that was slightly curved, as well as countless industrial facilities built on the ground. Those industrial facilities were as old as the space stations in space. They were continuously distributed on the ground, each other.
There are complex and huge rail systems and pipeline connections between them, which is like covering the earth with a layer of metallic mail. And between these industrial facilities, you can see large tracts of ravines and rifts.
The scale is probably clearly visible from space, and there are countless orbits and cable-like things extending into the depths of those rift valleys.
Hao Ren blinked and realized that it was a continuous quarry, and it was also the truth about the "wood grains" he saw when he observed the moon.
Lily threw the last two ice cubes into her mouth, crunched them and swallowed them before holding back a few words: "This is..."
"This is the base camp of the survivor resistance," Nolan replied. "The moon is their industrial raw material production site and arsenal. A large number of war weapons are continuously manufactured from there. The space station between the earth and the moon is theirs."
The command center and frontline fortress, through which the army is assembled and dispatched, and then set off to the planet surface to perform combat missions. I have observed this entire process. They appear to be well-ordered and well-trained, and the various industrial and military facilities are also mature and stable. Obviously
This stalemate has lasted for centuries."
"I didn't expect these rebels to be right under our noses," Nangong Sanba raised his eyebrows, "We have to consider a contact plan... Now that we have found their base, should we go and have a look?"
"How to get there? Tie two nuclear bombs to your butt and fire them off?" Nangong Wuyue rolled her eyes at her brother, "Nolan can't fly yet!"
Hao Ren touched his chin: "Actually, I have some cruise guides in my personal space that can carry out space flight..."
Before he could finish his words, people around him rolled their eyes, so he could only swallow back the second half: "Okay, okay, I know you may not be used to this plan... but to be honest, dismantle the warhead."
If you drop it, it will still be quite exciting to sit up..."
This time no one paid any attention to him.
"Ahem, Nolan, turn your antenna to these space bases," Hao Ren could only cough twice awkwardly, and he took the initiative to change the topic, "Capture their communication signals, and first understand this from their information network."
The way the survivor society operates, by the way, let’s judge whether these survivors can make contact smoothly. How long will it take for you to take off again?”
"The engine system and navigation system can be restored within three days, but for safety reasons, I suggest you wait one more day so that I can repair part of the weapon platform, and the most important thing is that the shield system can be fully restored on the fourth day."
"There is no difference between three days and four days," Hao Ren nodded. "Use this period to collect as much information as possible on this survivor society and formulate a contact plan with them before the fourth day. How is the situation with the drone swarm?
"
"The first batch of advance drones entered the
We are now located deep in the x star cluster, tens of thousands of light years away from the jumping point that drones can reach. And since we were attacked, the energy environment in the
Wandering around inside the star cluster like a patrol, they blocked most of the hyperspace signals, and the ship's ability to command and dispatch the drone group was greatly restricted."
"It's true that God is not as good as man..." Hao Ren sighed, "But it doesn't matter, the drone swarm will know what to do. You use the remaining bandwidth to send a command to let all the drones move towards the ship in pioneer mode.
Move around the planetary system, set up production bases and bunkers along the way, and install high-power antennas in each base. Isn't there interference in space? Then let the drone swarm line up the fortresses and forcibly build a physical communication link.
, I still don’t believe that you can’t penetrate the interference layer of the x star cluster like this.”
"Nolan understands."
Hao Ren rubbed his eyebrows. The situation was still gloomy, which made him feel a little depressed, so he felt that he urgently needed some good news: "Is there anything else to report? It's best if it can refresh your mind..."
Nolan really has a sequel: "Yes, about the eldest son."
Hao Ren immediately regretted his request. What he wanted was not this refreshing thing!
But he had to listen to the report about his eldest son, so he could only hold his nose and let Nolan speak: "Then... just say it."
"Following your instructions, I have been monitoring the activities of the eldest son on this planet, and released several probes to drill into some natural caves and cracks in the earth's crust to search for the neural structure of the eldest son. After twenty-four hours of continuous observation,
I noticed something unusual."
Hao Ren regained his composure a little: "Not a normal phenomenon?"
"This ship has discovered a large amount of biological tissue of the eldest son in the surface crust of the planet. This can confirm that the eldest son of this planet is already in a standard adult state. The eldest son at this stage is supposed to have quite strong neural activity. Without addition,
Under control, his nerve impulses can even cause physically visible supernatural phenomena to occur on the surface of the planet, but in fact the level of nerve activity detected by the probe is unusually low." Nolan's voice sounded a little confused, "After a few
The signals detected by key nerve nodes even show that the eldest son of this planet has lost the ability to control this limb. There are only the most basic conditioned reflexes in the tentacles, but no more advanced nerve impulses."
Hearing this, Vivian couldn't help muttering: "How could this happen?"
Nolan's voice was unhurried: "Based on the information currently available, this ship believes that the eldest son of this planet is brain dead." 8)
