"Hey, how is it, could it be ......" Grant, Nehemiah and others may have seen this unknown civilization warship for the first time, but Tang Fang was not.

Judging from the hedron structure of the hull skin and the trident-shaped bow, this is clearly the trident star warship that he saw in the memoirs of the Ipsi dragon girl named Leana in the memoirs of the Ipsi dragon girl who crashed into Crotan during the fall of his consciousness.

Looking at the situation, Liana, including her father, had a look of fear at the Starlight Battleship. Could it be that the race to which the Trident battleship belongs is hostile to the Ipsi Dragons?

The scene in front of me also seems to indirectly confirm this, judging by the wreckage of the Trident Starmang battleship, it was definitely destroyed by something.

It is highly likely that the "Lost Lands" were reduced to barren land because of the war.

"Tang Fang...... Tang Fang, what should I do next? ”

Grant's voice woke him up from his contemplation, and he groaned slightly, and casually touched the dilapidated relay station: "Go to the relay station first, I hope to find something out of it." ”

"Okay." Granette nodded, rushed down and said, "Pilot group, head to the Ipsilon Relay Station." After that, he instructed Yu Fei: "Tell the logistics department to prepare the shuttle." ”

……

About 20 minutes later, the small engineering boat cleared a passage, and the shuttle carrying Tang Fang, Freya, and Tang Lin flew out of the hangar and slowly sailed towards the relay station.

This time, Tang Fang brought all the elites, considering the scene that happened at the Namei Star Zero Element Isotope Refining Factory and the Meijiaer Relay Station, he didn't dare to take any more risks, God knows if there would be stronger epic creatures lurking in the relay station in front of him.

Driving forward at a low speed, about 5 minutes later, the shuttle landed on a platform at the relay station, and Tang Fang, Freya, and Tang Lin stepped off the shuttle one after another.

Adjust the electronic eye of the harsh suit to "Thermal Vision" mode. Looking far away, he scanned the surroundings and found that there were no black calluses on the surface of the Megar Relay Station, only a few jagged scratches and dust left by small rocks hitting the outer wall.

The Zero Element Fluid in the energy tank is even rarer than at the Megal Relay Station, and the dim streamer can only be seen if you get closer. The relay station in front of you is not only unshielded. Even the gravity compensation system is out of service and can only rely on the artificial gravity components inherent in the harsh suit.

No wonder, no wonder that when I was in the Megal star system before, I sent a connection request with the relay station equipment, and only received a reply message half an hour later. The relay station of the "Lost Lands" has suffered such a heavy blow, and it is extremely rare that it can still operate.

"Brother...... Nothing unusual was found. Tang Lin put away the multi-function detector and pointed to a direction on the left-hand side: "According to the drone aerial map sent by Grant, the nearest entrance to the ruins is about 10 kilometers ahead. ”

"Okay." Tang Fang nodded, and turned his head to look at Freya. I saw that the girl was looking at the wreckage of warships and buildings floating in the void in the distance, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face.

Sometimes this is the case, no matter how powerful a civilization is, compared to the long river of history, it is just a small crucian carp crossing the river, at most a few splashes and ripples.

Today's human beings can be described as high-spirited and proud. But...... How long it will last, who knows?

"Don't look at it. Let's go. Tang Fang patted her on the shoulder.

"Hmm." Freya nodded, snuggled in Tang Fang's arms, and walked forward step by step.

About half an hour later, the three of them cautiously came to the entrance of the ruins indicated by the aerial photograph, and it was only then that Tang Fang finally confirmed that the relay station in front of him was clean. Not parasitized by zero-prime-feeding creatures like the Mushroom Monsters.

The same way as before entering the ruins, the scanning device that stretched out his palm to the door was pressed, and as the ε runes lit up, the door opened downward, and the three mermaids walked in.

Overall. Although the "Lost Lands" relay station is larger, the internal structure has not changed much compared to the Meijiaer relay station, except for some more hangars and a larger, grander starport.

However, at this time, there were no large warships or frigates like the "Sea Witch" in the starport, only a few small cargo ships and the Silver Moon shuttle. It's no wonder that the fighting outside is in full swing, and how can the warships berthed inside the relay station not go to support.

"Tang Lin, you go to Area D of the Outer Ring to inspect and see the damage of the ruins, and I'll go to the central control room." Tang Fang gave an order, and asked Emma to send a schematic diagram of the structure of the Meijiaer relay station: "This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the Meijiaer relay station, compare what modules are damaged, and then notify me." ”

"Remember, if you encounter anything abnormal on the road, immediately activate the stealth mode to retreat, and don't make impulsive mistakes."

"Got it, brother." Tang Lin agreed, followed the instructions of the navigator, and turned around and walked towards the damaged area below the relay station.

Tang Fang greeted Freya and walked straight to the central control room in the inner ring.

Similar to the Meijiaer relay station, a large crystal is suspended in the central control room, and below it is a golden psionic flame, the only difference is that the former is vigorous, and the latter is sluggish, like a candle flame in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time.

After telling Freya to wait, Tang Fang stepped onto the central platform and stretched out his hand. A thread of light poked out from the center of the flame, gently attached to the back of his hand, and the golden runes above his head lit up, and countless messages poured into Tang Fang's mind.

After about two or three minutes, he let out a long breath and disconnected from the psionic flames. This time, there was no Protoss technology unlocked, and Tang Fang was not surprised by this, after all, the functions and structures of the two relay stations were very similar, and it was reasonable that they could not unlock new technologies.

However, it is not without gains, there is a star map stored in the Psionic Flame Number Library, a star map of the "Lost Land". The starport, energy base, residential area, mineral smelter, documentation center, scientific research institute, etc., built by the Ipsilons in the area are all marked, and with this map, you are worried about not being able to refresh the technology tree?

Before he could take a breath, he was doused with a basin of cold water. Indeed, the star map is so detailed that it gives the interstellar coordinates of each building, which is no less than lighting a lighthouse for a trek ship. But the key point is that the "Lost Land" in the star map is what it was before it was "lost", and now the "Lost Land" has become a dead land. Starry Sky Cemetery. Not to mention high-tech buildings such as starports and documentation centers, even planets and even star systems are torn apart by the huge tidal force of the "eye of the storm", even if some relics can be preserved intact, where to find them? No one knows where celestial systems such as the Lost Lands will drift under the action of various forces during the formation of such celestial systems.

This star map seems precious, but in fact, it is blunt. Just TM a piece of waste paper, wiping your ass is ugly.

"Alas", Tang Fang sighed, he had a lot of hopes before coming, but he didn't expect such a result. The Lost Lands can't sail at warp speed for unknown reasons, and if you want to fly out of this dead realm with the Morningstar's plasma engine alone? That's a dream.

Could it be that he was forced to return to Meigar, or go to another country to make a detour to the Tianchao Star Region? It can take months to come and go.

Freya smiled at him for a moment, and frowned for a moment. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Fang glanced up at her, forced a smile, and explained slightly. Freya thought about it seriously and said seriously, "Since the Morningstar is slow, why not change the ship?" ”

"Another ship?" Tang Fang was stunned.

"yes, change to a fast one." Freya is as innocent as an 8-year-old girl who is struggling with Hot Wheels and somersault clouds.

"Hey, yes, I didn't think of that." Tang Fang slapped his forehead. I blame myself for thinking too one-sidedly. Equipped with the "Zero-Prime Particle Space Effect Field Generator", the Morningstar is fast in interstellar travel, and its curvature of 9.9999 not only surpasses that of human warships. Even the Ipsilon shuttle is not as fast as it.

Admittedly, he is a marathon champion, but he is by no means a short-track speed skating expert. Because the Lost Lands couldn't sail at warp speed, his mind went into a logical loop, thinking that it was either the Epsilon Shuttle or the Morningstar. Everyone is the same, no different from a hawk with severed wings.

Like travel within a star system, generally speaking, the distance between the origin and the destination is at least 10 million kilometers, such as Bruno and Rector in the Megal star system. At opposition, the two planets are closest apart, about 70 million kilometers, and it takes about 4 minutes to travel from the military port of Budilas to the military port of Silbero at the speed of light.

With the power system of today's human warships, under the premise of not using warp speed navigation, relying solely on the acceleration of the hull plasma system, the thrust generated in a short period of time, not to mention the sub-light speed, cannot even reach one-thousandth of the speed of light. A fool would do that.

Therefore, whether it is a long-range voyage across the stellar system or a short-range voyage within the system, most of the spacecraft adopt a navigation mode to sail at warp speed, the only difference is the curvature, and only a few vehicles for scientific research and exploration will use conventional cruising to fly through space in a certain area.

In this context, when talking about the speed of the spacecraft, most people naturally think of the maximum curvature that the warp engine can support, thus ignoring the specific impulse of the conventional nuclear power engine.

Tang Fang was the same, and it wasn't until Freya's childish words that he woke him up. It is impossible for human ships to achieve ultra-high speeds in a short period of time, even if they use the hybrid system of zero-element propulsion and plasma propulsion in parallel. When the Epsilon ship first escaped from Na'vi, in addition to the warp speed jump ability of up to 9.99, in terms of conventional zero-element propulsion, as long as the energy can keep up, the flight speed can accelerate from a standstill to 1/15th of the speed of light in an hour.

What is this concept? Take the Megal star system as an example, from the fourth planet Ryctor to the end of the eighth planet, it will not take a long time, only two or three hours to reach.

Admittedly, such a speed was not enough to fly out of the "Lost Land", but it gave Tang Fang a chance to explore the omega-2 star system.

Under the action of the tidal force of the "eye of the storm", the orbit of the planet to which Omega-2 belongs is elongated, distorted, and turned into a rugby ball. If you change to the silver moon shuttle, it will be fast, and you can call back and forth in 24 hours.

As an unmanned facility, the relay station does not have important information, which does not mean that there is no other way in the rest of the ruins, whether to find another way to return or find other ways to leave. It's not too late to wait until you're done exploring omega-2.

"Freya, thanks to you this time."

"Huh." Freya smiled unnaturally, her pupils flickering a little red.

Tang Fang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly approached her, grabbed her hand, and controlled the electronic sea in the center of her eyebrows to speed up and rotate. The reason why he took Freya with him. Considering the current situation, he was afraid that the girl would go berserk when he left the Morningstar. Claire, Roy and the others alone can't stop her, and if you don't get the Morningstar, you may play bad for her. At that time, the back road was cut off, and he had no place to cry.

In desperation, Fang brought Freya with him. As he expected, in a hostile environment like omega-2, the free radiation energy in the void was so strong that the girl had accumulated a lot of electricity in a short period of time. Wandering on the verge of an outbreak.

The furious electrical energy of the "......" was affected by the rotating electron sea and injected into Tang Fang's body like a flood.

The red in Freya's eyes slowly retreated, and finally fell into his arms with a "bang".

"Brother, I've reached the target area." At this time, Tang Lin's voice came from the communicator.

"How's it going?" Tang Fang casually squared Freya to the ground and asked for details.

"It seems that the nuclear power energy transmission network has failed, the gravity compensation module has also been damaged, and a zero-element pipeline in the outer ring area has ruptured. Causing an energy leak in the face of Yanzhòng. As for the rudder below, it is analyzed according to the structural diagram of the ruins. It should be a ship maintenance dock, even if it is damaged, it will not have much impact on the relay station. ”

"Well, it's similar to the information I got from the control center." Tang Fang nodded: "By the way, there was no danger on the road, right?" ”

"One qiē is normal." Tang Lin smiled: "Brother, you were obviously bitten by a snake once. I'm afraid of the well rope for ten years. ”

"You kid." Tang Fang snorted coldly: "When you see a big guy like a giant snake or a one-eyed monster, you will know if I am alarmist." ”

"Good, good, my good big brother. What do we do next? ”

"Take a few pictures of the damaged parts for me."

"Okay, wait a minute."

After about 5 minutes. More than a dozen images appear in succession through the helmet window. At the same time, Tang Lin's voice came from the communicator again: "How is it, have you received it?" ”

“OK。” Tang Fang browsed the snapshots of the damaged area while walking towards the psionic flame: "Inform Grant and the others to get ready to enter the port." ”

Disconnecting the communication line, he first opened a major starport in the outer ring area, and then, compared the photos of the damaged parts captured by Tang Lin, counted the inventory building materials, and turned his attention to the system space.

"Emma, how is it, with the relay's own building materials, can the repair work be carried out?"

"Commander, there is a gap between Terran technology and the Epsilon civilization, and systematic defects such as repairing the shipyard and gravity compensation module are difficult to carry out comprehensive repair operations unless the corresponding technology tree is obtained. However, there should be no major problems in the repair of nuclear power energy transmission networks and zero-element pipelines. ”

"That's enough." After listening to her report, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Fang's mouth. Due to the scrapping of the monitoring device at the damaged area, the damage to the building cannot be visually confirmed in the central control room, and the general situation can only be understood by the damage control system.

Combined with the images captured by Tang Lin and the remaining building materials in the warehouse of the relay station, Emma's answer couldn't help but make him breathe a sigh of relief. When he came into contact with the psionic flame before, he paid special attention to the situation of the shield system and the zero element stock.

In terms of shields, the report given by the damage control program said that the core energy supply of the system was insufficient, presumably because of the failure of the nuclear power energy transmission network, and the shield system was taken offline.

On the other hand, the relay station's zero element stock has fallen to a freezing point, and after supporting the Morning Star's super-warp jump, the total zero element stock has dropped to 0.9 tons, and it is still being lost at a very slow rate. Combined with Tang Lin's report information, it was caused by the rupture of the zero-element pipeline in the damaged area.

Perhaps a relay station like this is just a transportation hub in the eyes of the Ipsilons, and it is not an important facility, but for the Tang side, it is not only a military fortress, a fast interstellar travel node, but also a magic door to scientific and technological deposits. In particular, the relay station of the "Lost Lands" must not be lost.

Even if it can only be a corner of Omega-2, those battleship wrecks and building ruins still have high scientific research value.

The environment in the Lost Lands is very unstable, and it is not certain that one day the "Chaos" star at the foot of the relay station will fall apart and explode like a super-nuclear bomb, and the asteroids that are roaming the edge of the star system, God knows if they will hit the relay station one day in the future.

A simple piece or two may be nothing, but if a thousand pieces come together, a relay station without a shield will never be safe and sound. Therefore, it is necessary to restore the ruins as much as possible, activate the shield system of the relay station, make it its own backyard, and explore the frontier springboard of Epsilon technology.

Summoned all the SCVs in hand, divided into three groups, and then summoned some machine gunners and fanatics as auxiliary construction personnel, and ordered them to perform their duties as planned, and then Tang Fang turned his attention to the crystal above the psionic flame, and watched the Morningstar slowly moor into the open spaceport in the outer ring area.

According to Emma's maintenance plan, it would take five days to repair the outer wall of the relay station, and it would take half a month to repair the outer wall of the relay station.

It takes more than 20 days to come and go, so it's better to do some research on omega-2 during this time to see if you can find something valuable. (To be continued......)
