"Woo~"

With a low thud of metal, the air-sealed door slowly opened, revealing a huge cabin that was completely out of proportion to the ship's appearance.

When he saw the scene in front of him, Xia Xiyan, the commander of the fleet, was also taken aback.

In front of him, there was a neat load-resistant seat, the seats were full of people, roughly estimated to be at least 500 or more, and there was a huge high-definition hologram in the middle of the cabin, and the situation outside the spaceship was clear.

"Is this a space expansion technology? This space has been expanded by at least 1,000 times. This magnification is ridiculously high. Xia Xiyan felt that he had really gained a lot of knowledge.

She strode out of the docking cabin, and saw a pale blue-skinned Sky City man standing outside the door, who bowed slightly to her and said, "Madam Commander, please come with me, our captain wants to see you." ”

"I feel very honored." Xia Xiyan gave Alidran a military salute of the Crimson Empire.

The two of them walked towards the cockpit one after the other, and when they reached the hatch, the metal hatch slid open silently. From the gap next to the Sky Castle people, Xia Xiyan saw a tall blonde woman, an old man with white hair, a young woman with a delicate face, and finally a person, who was sitting in the driver's seat with his back to her.

The driver's seat was very wide, covering most of the person's body, and the only thing Xia Xiyan could see was that the person had black hair.

"Go in, warrior." The people of the Sky City behind him urged.

Xia Xiyan took a step forward and entered the cockpit, and the hatch behind him closed silently again.

"Dear Captain, thank you for saving me!" Xia Xiyan gave a military salute to the person in the driver's seat.

The captain did not reply, he raised a hand and gestured towards the door, and the men around him exited the cockpit, leaving only two people in the cabin.

Such an atmosphere made Xia Xiyan feel slightly nervous, the terrifying power of the angel warrior before was still vivid, although she also had a good strength, but this power could not bring her any sense of security.

"Captain?" Xia Xiyan shouted again.

Still no response.

Just when Xia Xiyan thought that he couldn't get a response, a low, vicissitudes of life voice slowly sounded from behind the wide seat in the driver's seat: "The vast universe, hundreds of trillions of living beings, but none of them are companions. Loneliness is always accompanied, and the road ahead is shrouded in darkness. On the road alone, can you feel confused? ”

Hearing this, Xia Xiyan was shocked and stayed on the spot. She looked at the black hair in front of her in a daze, and tears couldn't stop spilling out of the corners of her eyes, sliding down her smooth face, dripping to the ground, and falling into fine crystal droplets.

"Zizi Zizi~"

The helm chair rotated slowly, and the black-haired young man sitting behind the chair also slowly turned around, with a familiar face, a faint smile, and eyes as deep as night, it was her old classmate, Zhang Yuan, who was known as the peerless genius of the Federation once in a century!

"Heh~~~"

Xia Xiyan wanted to laugh, but before she could laugh out loud, her throat was already choked, and tears were already full of eyes, so she laughed while crying, through tears, she looked at the blurred image on the opposite side and asked, "You succeeded?" ”

"It worked." Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. Needless to say, they all know what to ask.

"Hahaha~" Xia Xiyan's heart suddenly relaxed, she laughed happily, the tears in her eyes became more and more turbulent, she didn't suppress herself, and let the tears flow wantonly.

For more than a year, she has suffered countless times in the Crimson Empire, I don't know how many times she has fought on the front line, I don't know how many times she has brushed shoulders with the god of death, and she has endured all these hardships silently, just so that one day, she can be appreciated by a certain big man in the Crimson Empire, so as to get close to the secret of the rhodium magnetic engine.

However, the more time passed, the more she realized the difficulty of obtaining the secrets of the rhodium magnetic engine. She thought about giving up and running away, but in the end, she still chose to persevere.

She once sadly believed that her life was destined to be a tragedy.

Until now, Zhang Yuan told her that he had succeeded.

As a result, all the pressure disappeared in an instant, and she was relieved and reborn.

She is crying now because she is happy.

Zhang Yuan didn't speak, waiting patiently.

After a while, Xia Xiyan's mood slowly calmed down.

"Wipe your face, you're crying like a little cat." Zhang Yuan smiled, he waved his hand, and the nightingale handed Xia Xiyan a piece of absorbing paper.

"Thank you." Xia Xiyan wiped his face clean, let out a long breath, and sighed: "Actually, when I saw that Battle Angel, I felt a little like you, but I wasn't sure. I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your mobile combat skills have entered the territory to the extent that they are miraculous and unpredictable, and I don't dare to admit it. ”

"You're not bad either. You've reached the middle of the apocalypse, right? Zhang Yuan asked.

Speaking of this, Xia Xiyan felt a little complacent in his heart: "Indeed, I have been accumulating military exploits this year, and Ye Liuyan, the governor of Heyue Province, has also taken care of me a lot and given me a lot of opportunities to strengthen my body. ”

Zhang Yuan was slightly surprised: "Then why didn't you use the doomsday mecha that matched the strength just now?" ”

If there is a Doomsday Mecha, although it may not be able to change the tide of battle, she herself will definitely not be in a desperate situation.

As soon as he asked this, Xia Xiyan sighed and looked depressed: "How can it be so easy?" ”

Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and a chair slid towards Xia Xiyan: "Sit down and speak slowly." ”

Xia Xiyan nodded, and after sitting down, she spoke: "The spiritual technology of the Crimson Empire is very developed, the spiritual raw stone mines are abundant, and they can even synthesize spiritual power, so there is no shortage of spiritual power used to strengthen, as long as everyone has excellent performance, they can get the opportunity to match the credit, doomsday level powerhouses are not uncommon, on average, there are at least 5 or more in a province, and there are even more than a dozen." What is really rare is actually a powerful mecha. ”

"Oh~~" Zhang Yuan suddenly said: "Is it because of the empire's technological monopoly?" ”

Xia Xiyan nodded: "That's right." According to imperial law, a province can only have 3 doomsday-level powerhouses, and any more is overstepping. Once discovered, the governor of the province will be removed from his post or beheaded! Even if the Governor had the audacity to defy the laws of the Empire, they could not conjure a powerful mecha out of thin air. Because the royal family will only issue 3 rhodium engines to each province, if you want to replace the new engine, you can, but you must first scrap the old rhodium engine, and the process of replacing the engine is very thorough, and there is no loophole to drill at all...... For example, in Heyue Province, there are currently 9 fighters who have broken through to the Doomsday level, but only 3 fighters in the upper stage of Doom are equipped with three mechs in the middle of the Doomsday. ”

That's a.

After speaking, Xia Xiyan looked at Zhang Yuan and asked curiously, "As far as I know, the restrictions on rhodium magnetic technology in the Aum Empire are no looser than those in the Crimson Empire. What about you? How did you get the rhodium engine technology? ”

"Coincidences and hard work. I was given a rare opportunity to pretend to join the Apostles of Light. Because of my powers, I got a White Angel of the Lower Doomsday. I secretly dismantled the White Angel and studied its rhodium core, which, combined with my past practice, finally led to the true secret of the rhodium engine. Since then, I've made several improvements to the Rhodium Engine, culminating in the Lava-based Rhodium Engine, which has an energy utilization rate of over 30%, reaching the mainstream level of Starlight. ”

Xia Xiyan's eyes widened when he heard this: "You mean, you made the rhodium magnetic engine yourself?"

Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed: "Haha, borrowing ~ borrowing ~ is mainly borrowing, otherwise it would never be so fast, and there is still a big gap between the advanced level of the lava engine and the starlight land." Moreover, I can only build a low-end Doomsday engine, a more advanced God of War engine, and even a higher main God engine, and I don't have a clue at the moment. ”

His own family knew about his own affairs, and it was because he knew about the rhodium magnetic engine that he knew that the lava engine was not that great, and the Earth Federation was not completely free from the threat of the Dark Shura Empire. There are also many kinds of rhodium magnetic engines, the doomsday level is only the first class, and there are also the god of war level, the main god level, and even the supreme level on it.

As far as he knew, the Nine Shadows Demon Machine of the Dark Shura Kingdom was a god of war-level mecha, and the Protector God of War of the Crimson Empire used it was also a god of war-level mecha. In front of these god-level mechas, the doomsday-level mecha is just an ant with a bigger head.

Xia Xiyan didn't understand what she heard, and when Zhang Yuan finished speaking, she said blankly: "Rhodium magnetic engine, is it also divided into three, six, nine, etc.?" The rhodium magnetic engine of the doomsday-level mecha is a little more precise and the power is a little bigger, isn't it comparable to the God of War-level mecha? ”

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly, he understood Xia Xiyan's thoughts, because he himself thought so before.

Xia Xiyan is still in the stage of pursuing the rhodium magnetic engine, she doesn't know the secret of the rhodium magnetic engine, and she is completely an outsider, just like seeing flowers in a fog, so she has such an outsider's opinion.

Zhang Yuan, but he had already seen the way, and because of this, he felt awe.

He could only say to Xia Xiyan like this: "There are many thresholds for the technology of the rhodium magnetic engine, and each threshold can be high. The more advanced it is, the higher the threshold. This is not a simple increase in power, it is necessary to improve the structure of the rhodium engine, or even modify the underlying structure of the rhodium engine. ”

Xia Xiyan became worried: "Then can we still stop the demons?" ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "It's not a big problem at the moment. At present, the energy of the demon race is still focused on the giant beast star field, and there is no time to pay attention to us in a short time. By the time they have time, there should be dozens or hundreds of doomsday warriors. Fighting more and less, even if you don't win, you can make the demons suffer heavy losses, and this is something that the demons can't afford. You know, the demon opponents are not only us, but the Aum Empire is also eyeing them. They did not dare to bear such a big loss. ”

Xia Xiyan nodded again and again when she heard this, and relaxed her mind slightly.

Zhang Yuan asked, "Yan Yan, can you tell me about these bubbles?" What's going on now? ”

Hearing the title of Yan Yan, Xia Xiyan smiled, and then sighed again: "These bubbles you are talking about, the people of the Crimson Empire call them shapeshifters." It came out of that dark nebula, and in less than 2 days, it destroyed most of the Red Moon-shaped Province. By the time the empire had organized a defensive line, the entire Red Moon Province had already fallen, and it only took 3 days before and after. The three doomsday powerhouses of the Red Moon Province are all dead. Judging from the images that came back, only one of the three powerhouses boarded his doomsday-level mecha, and the other two all died in a sneak attack. ”

“....... That's amazing! Zhang Yuan's fear of those bubbles deepened.

But soon, he felt that something was wrong: "Organize a defensive line? How to organize the line of defense? The boundary line of the Red Moon-shaped Province is so long, hundreds of light years, and it is a three-dimensional three-dimensional space, how can it be stopped? ”

Xia Xiyan explained, "These shapeshifters themselves also have weaknesses. One of the biggest weaknesses discovered so far is that they are unable to perform quantum jumps and can only fly at light-like speeds. In this case, the empire only needs to fortify the various interstellar high-speed corridors layer by layer. ”

"Sooner or later, they'll rush out, it's just a matter of time." Zhang Yuan shrugged.

"Definitely. But if they want to fly at low speeds of light, they have to assemble into warships or something. The target is relatively large and can be easily spotted. ”

This makes sense, Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement, but he added, "Then what if they rush out from the rest of the Dark Nebula?" Like rushing to the Bear's Claw Domain? ”

"Also taken into account. The Empire has completely abandoned the Red Moon Province, and they have placed heavy troops on the border of the Bear Claw Field and the Great Bear Nebula (Dark Nebula). There are at least 20 red-clad dragon guards there, and there should be no problem. ”

"The Red-Clothed Dragon Guard?"

"The soldiers directly under the Emperor of the Crimson Empire, every dragon guard is a doomsday-level warrior, and the god of war who protects the country is the supreme commander of the red-clothed dragon guard."

"Awesome, I see."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan didn't ask any more questions, he believed that after the Crimson Empire was caught off guard at first, the defensive measures after that must have been more thoughtful than he thought.

"Last question, how do we get out of this hellish place?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Xia Xiyan thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Then your goal now?" ”

"I'm going to think of a god of war engine." Zhang Yuan said bluntly.

Xia Xiyan pondered for a while and said, "Then let's go to Heyue Province." I can talk to Governor Ye Liuyan, I am still a fleet commander, not too big or small, but also a general, so I can help you a little. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, but that place is nearly a hundred light years away from us, how to go?" ”

"See that high-speed lane?"

"Hmm." Zhang Yuan's previous purpose was to enter the high-speed channel.

"For ordinary ships, the passage has been completely closed. But I'm the fleet commander and I have the activation code for the channel on hand. Ships with activation codes can enter the passage from the secret entrance and activate the channel's selective acceleration function. After flying in the passage for five days, we will be able to reach the Bear's Claw Domain. ”
