As soon as Kefu's calamity thunder came out, many people in the empire were sure that part of the Digital Phantom team still existed in the empire.
In the opinion of most people, it is impossible for the team to leave only cultivators waiting to survive the tribulation.
Then, it is normal for the news to spread to the Federation and be learned by Asura.
However, it is very regrettable that Kefu failed to survive the tribulation and died.
This is the first cultivator who has not survived the thunderstorm since Qu Jianlei formed his team.
The one who protects Kefu is Dogan who stays at the base. She is in a very low mood.
Everyone knows that there are dangers in overcoming the tribulation, but before... it has always been successful.
Kefu is Dogan's right-hand man. Although he is not the first housekeeper, he has grown up under her eyes.
He had been serving Dogan for nearly two hundred years, and she really couldn't feel better when such a person was gone.
A year has passed, but she still feels regretful when talking about this incident.
However, the boss cannot be blamed for this matter. The team's search for the world of immortality is an urgent need, and related actions cannot be delayed indefinitely.
Besides, even if Qu Jianlei is here, can he help with divination to ensure that Kefu can survive the thunder?
Anyway, it was Duogan himself who protected the law, and she didn't feel any regrets, but it was a bit sad to say it.
However, this sadness was quickly offset by the good news the team brought back.
Huangtian paid off his hard work, and the main team member finally got the news from the world of immortality!
In this way, it is normal for the team to wander outside for four years.
After the exchange, Qu Jianlei asked about Kefu's failure in overcoming the tribulation.
After all, for him, this thing... is quite strange, it is the first in the history of the team.
Fortunately, Dogan was also prepared. When Kefu was going through the tribulation, he made all-round records.
The holographic image showed that he was wiped out in ashes when he endured the fourth lightning strike.
Because of the failure to overcome the tribulation, the tribulation cloud dissipated quickly, but Duogan released two regiment-level ships in time, hiding the true situation.
Even the warships of the imperial military did not dare to get too close to observe.
But the military still felt that something was wrong, and asked Shuguang Base why no alien energy appeared this time?
It's just that Duogan was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention at all.
But she estimated that the military had also guessed the truth. After all, it was impossible for the military to be ignorant of the dangers of crossing the tribulation.
Since the empire has shown that the Digital Phantom still exists in the country, Qu Jianlei will not deliberately hide it.
Next, those who should take a rest took a rest, while others went to the Rock Star.
In addition to the Fourth Master's customary visit to observe the Jianyi meteorite, they also used their manpower to purchase various materials.
In addition, the team's collection of energy blocks has also accelerated the pace.
After finishing these tasks, Qu Jianlei made a special trip to the alliance theater to learn about the situation of the artificial intelligence on the opposite side.
The good news is that the other party's growth seems to have reached a bottleneck, and there has been no significant change for more than two years.
The intermediate defense system provided by Xiaohu is enough to resist the other party's invasion. Its advanced response methods have not yet been used by the military.
But this time, Big-headed Butterfly made another breakthrough and came up with the "ultimate" defense method.
At the very least, it is the current ultimate solution, which can guarantee defense for at least fifty years.
At the same time, Xiaohu also learned fragments of the other party and felt that his strength had increased.
After finishing these tasks, everyone went to the Maiden Star Territory again to see how the formation was doing.
The formation was operating normally, and the boundary-breaking shuttle and the broken knife did not produce any corresponding reactions.
Qu Jianlei can be sure that this formation can last for a long time.
As for exploring other airspaces in the Maiden Star Region... everyone has lost interest.
It took everyone about half a year to resolve these matters.
In the end, only the nebula was left, the place where the high imitation was born, and the cave weapon spirit wanted to devour it.
What's more troublesome is that the nebula is also paying close attention to the empire, and they have never given up observation.
Especially after the main force of the team returned this time and emerged in various fields, the empire has increased its attention to this place.
Qu Jianlei came with the cave and asked the weapon spirit to analyze whether it could start devouring it at this moment.
In the past four years, although the cave has resisted many attacks, the transformation of spiritual energy has never stopped.
In particular, Qu Jianlei also took out some spiritual stones to help it refine the environment of the cave.
Therefore, the current state of the cave is much stronger than before.
However, Qi Ling analyzed it and felt that now is not the best time to devour it. It estimated that it would be five to ten years later.
Kefu's death during the catastrophe not only made other people feel sad, but also shocked the spirit of the weapon.
To put it in its words, it was normal to die in overcoming tribulations originally, but in recent years, the team's success rate in overcoming tribulations has been too high.
So much so that it had forgotten the danger involved, and only remembered it again this time.
Similarly, there is a certain risk in swallowing the nebula. Cultivation is never simple, even for weapon spirits.
If it tries to forcefully improve it, it won't be completely shattered, but it will probably overwhelm it and increase a lot of hidden dangers.
Such hidden dangers can be eliminated gradually and little by little, and they are not very dangerous. They just require time and effort.
However, during this period, if there is a battle, these hidden dangers will cause some problems in the cave's defense and other aspects.
Qi Ling explained the reason very well.
Because it is very clear that in the future, fighting will most likely be unavoidable and may be very dangerous.
It didn't want to be complained by Qu Jianlei at all, let alone if the intensity of the battle was too high, it would be in danger.
"Five to ten years..." The corners of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, which was really a bit unlucky.
He can't wait in the empire for so long anymore, because the process of searching for the world of immortality is destined to not be peaceful.
It's hard to say how long the journey will take and what kind of dangers we will encounter.
So he made up his mind, "Then think about it first and take this star cluster away."
Then Qu Jianlei released a huge brood nest.
The diameter of the nebula is only about 500 kilometers, and with the surrounding energy halo, the diameter does not exceed 700 kilometers.
Theoretically, a mother nest with a diameter of two thousand kilometers can completely accommodate this star cluster.
But if you want to really accommodate this thing, the nest must make certain changes.
In addition to enlarging the entrance and exit, some internal structures also need to be dismantled.
As a result, the fighting ability of the brood will be greatly reduced, but... isn't this no choice?
As soon as he released the brood, the Imperial starship observing from a distance became anxious and immediately called them.
This kind of thing is usually handled by the Flower Scorpion.
Faced with the other party's questioning, she said with certainty that when we released the mother nest, we were considering taking away this cluster of stars.
The empire's starships really refused to agree this time, because theoretically, the ownership of the star cluster belongs to the empire.
The previous supreme leader of the Digital Phantom, Dogan, did spend a lot of money to buy the right to use the star cluster, which is theoretically indefinite.
But that's just theory. If the empire can prove that this nebula is very important to Guojia, it can consider taking it back.
During the execution process, the empire may need to compensate for some expenses, but there is no doubt that they have the right to claim recovery.
However, Hua Scorpion also stated simply that the team’s related experiments needed to use this nebula.
She even said with a hint of threat that this huge sphere was the Asura's nest captured by the team.
In order to defeat more Asuras, the team must develop new tactics and tactics.
As for the specific reason, she didn't mention it, and she obviously didn't intend to tell it.
The Empire's starships are really in trouble, because they also know very well how terrifying the research and development capabilities of the Digital Phantom are.
If the other party insists on transforming this nebula into a weapon against alien races, the empire will not be able to stop it.
As these people can imagine, there is definitely a reason why the Digital Phantom has been dormant for several years and then made a high-profile appearance again.
According to the information fed back by the federation, their war with Asura has been quite tragic and anxious in the past few years.
However, the situation has improved recently, and I feel that Asura's combat power has declined.
In other words, in this related change, the digital phantom is very likely to play a key role.
The people on the imperial starship discussed it and told Hua Xiezi that we need to ask our superiors for instructions on this matter, so please hold off on taking action for now.
Hua Scorpion ignored them at all, but was watching his boss make calculations.
The temperature inside this star is extremely high, and the defense inside the mother nest is very average.
Therefore, Qu Jianlei had to divine whether it was appropriate to put Nebula into the mother nest.
In addition, he also needs to consider what kind of modifications should be made to the brood nest.
Now there are many partitions in the mother nest, which makes it impossible to put away the nebula smoothly.
The calculation results are pretty good. At least the modified mother nest can accommodate Nebula.
Qu Jianlei can be satisfied with this.
If the Brood cannot collect the Nebula, the Cave will not be able to openly devour it. Otherwise, is it true that the Digital Phantom has stolen the Mystery?
The energy ring on the periphery of the nebula does a lot of damage to the outside world, and the cave is not suitable for direct collection.
However, although the results of divination are good, transforming the Brood is not something that can happen overnight.
After all, it is a big thing with a diameter of nearly two thousand kilometers.
Anyway, this kind of workload is far greater than tiling the Great Wall - more than ten times.
But this matter still had to be done, so the Digital Phantom began to transport a large number of construction starships here.
The empire's starship wanted to intercept it, but there was no reason, so they had to report it honestly.
Facts have proved that the difficulty of this construction is not ordinary.
First of all, Qu Jianlei did not have a complete transformation plan. Divination could only give a rough estimate. The specific plan had to be calculated by Xiaohu.
Secondly, the construction is also very difficult. The structure inside the nest is quite solid and closely related to each other.
It's not that Qu Jianlei can't dismantle it brutally, but once the operation is wrong, the overall structure of the nest may be destroyed.
That consequence is equivalent to accidentally knocking off a load-bearing wall or ring beam when renovating a new home.
