After browsing the component analysis report, he paid special attention to the resource consumption of the automatic satellite, 50 crystals and 25 gas, occupying 0.5 units, which is comparable to the Zerg jumping worms and infected humans.

Compared with military units such as detectors and mechanical sentinels, automatic satellites, as non-military units, have much lower technology content and lower resource consumption.

Next, he pressed the hotbutton to produce an automatic satellite, zooming in on the camera to take a closer look.

The scanning end of the automatic satellite looks like a golden butterfly floating in the sky, with searchlights shining green around it. Below is a mobile base station similar to a dragon knight, with a time-varying mapping image in the middle.

He thought about it for a long time before he remembered this thing, whether it was in battle mode or campaign mode, the player could not control the device, just like the Terran Type 2000 automatic robot and monitoring robot, it is a neutral element, simply put, a map embellishment.

I didn't think that Sister Logic would make the most of it, convert it into a controllable unit and add it to the interstellar system.

The Ranger-class fast assault ship, as an 80-meter-long ship, unlocked elite units like the Archangel, as well as the automatic satellites of the Star Spirit, really surprised him.

...... of the Third Committee What a powerful organization?

The Supreme Council has at least left many deeds in human society and can touch their outlines, but there is very little information about the Third Committee. And for so many years, the Nibelungen had been roaming the deep space of the Sokanada Line, like a mummy forgotten by time, without doing anything out of the ordinary, while the other two fortress ships seemed to disappear into the Hillenbuir region and were never heard from again.

Until the attack on the Dillard star system a few days ago, it was the first time in more than 20 years that they had intervened in the disputes of the human world.

After a few minutes, after browsing the unlocked items, he moved his gaze back to the real space, contacted several nearby SCVs, and learned that they had not found any valuable information, and then walked out of the wreckage of the battleship, returned to Chen Jian's side, and left the containment station together, and took the shuttle to Cristiel.

Instead of going to the industrial park to meet with Sheridan, Ruskin, and others, he drove the shuttle to land in a relatively flat area on the dark side, releasing the automatic satellite in the system's space.

This thing doesn't look big in the Protoss base, but after entering the real space, it is comparable in size to a heavy tank vehicle, three or four times the size of a mechanical sentry.

Chen Jian waited in the cockpit according to Tang Fang's instructions, who wanted to wait left and right, and was about to jump off the shuttle to go out to see what he was doing, when he suddenly saw a golden yellow rising on the horizon, like a countermeteor, with a long comet tail, rising into the dark night sky, turning into a member of the starry sky.

Then, it saw a huge four-legged robot kick up a thin cloud of sand in the night, approaching north at breakneck speed. A figure loomed in the dust, walking towards where the shuttle had landed.

It wasn't until Tang Fang entered the cabin and walked to the co-pilot to sit down that he came to his senses and asked, "What is that?" ”

"Most of Christiel's orbital satellites were destroyed in that war, and I have a good multi-purpose satellite here to make up for the lack of orbital satellites."

"You mean...... Is that a satellite? He pointed to the night sky, "It's too small, isn't it, and what's the matter with that golden spider that walks like a fly?" ”

Tang Fang said: "Don't underestimate it, as the old saying goes, what is condensed is the essence." Autonomous satellites are small, but they are much more powerful than most of today's artificial satellites. As for the golden robot...... That's a mobile base station that matches the satellite. ”

"......" Jian Chen was speechless for a while.

Tang Fang said: "Let's go, go back to the Central Star Port, I want to go and see the damage to the Angel and the Demon." ”

Jian Chen shook his head: "Before that, I want to take you to a place." ”

"Going somewhere?" Tang Fang raised his eyebrows: "Where to go?" ”

"You'll know when you go." He said with a serious face: "That thing was also found when I was patrolling earlier, and I haven't had time to talk to Yasen yet?" Nicholas, Stephen? Su and the others said that they wanted to take all the equipment to the target location for a detailed survey when patrolling tomorrow, but they didn't expect you to come back so quickly...... Now that we're out together, it's time to go over and have a look. ”

Tang Fang didn't say much, just nodded and said, Let's go.

The thrust of the shuttle engine grew, and a dazzling blue light erupted behind the tail like an arrow through the clouds, leaving Christel's thin atmosphere and entering the planet's orbit, and then slightly deflecting its course to the yellow-brown planet opposite.

Like a clumsy stone giant, Laxis spun slowly, circling Dillard, repeating the tedious task for years.

The arrival of humans has brought a touch of life to the barren land of Dillard, but human creation is mainly concentrated in Kristel. Laxi, the ruling star, is still empty and desolate, and beneath the unbright atmosphere are ravines and sand dunes and mountains, and there is no alien color in sight, only devastated land and dark sky.

The shuttle stayed on the edge of the intersection of light and darkness in Laxis, where night and day contended, and fierce winds whipped up the fine sand on the ground and threw it hundreds of feet into the sky, pounding the timeline with a whimpering sound.

Chen Jian pressed a button on the touchpad surface, and the light and shadow on the monitor of the bridge flashed, and a snapshot image appeared, but due to the poor performance of the shuttle's sensor, the captured picture was a little blurry, and it could not fully display the ground scene.

Fortunately, Tang Fang still found some anomalies from this image. At the edge of a relatively steep mountain, the ridge between the two largest valleys seemed to have been hit by an object from outside the sky, and a large crater was smashed in the middle, which looked like a giant dragon swindling in two from a distance.

The crater is not too deep, but due to the influence of the atmosphere and evening light, it is not possible to see what is really going on inside.

"What did you find?"

Jian Chen nodded, "Yes." After speaking, he glanced at him and said, "I know you're wondering if it's a meteorite, but I can tell you responsibly that it's definitely not a meteorite." ”

"It's not a meteorite, what is it?"

The deputy head continued: "After returning to the central starport, I checked the previous photographs taken by the Kristiel orbiting satellite, and found that the terrain of that area had not changed in this way until the Third Committee and the Supreme Security Council launched a raid. That is, this change appeared after the raid event. Indeed, it may be the wreckage of a battleship, the wreckage of a satellite or something, but when I went to the containment station to inspect the wreckage of those assault ships just now, I saw the photo you synchronized to the SCV data network, and I realized that the thing that collapsed the ridge was by no means as simple as the wreckage of an ordinary warship or the ruins of space-based equipment. ”

"Huh?" Tang Fang remembered that when he found a polyhedral metal ball inside the wreckage of the Ranger-class fast assault ship, he had recorded this scene and uploaded it to the SCV's data network, so that they could see if there were any objects like polyhedral metal balls in other wreckage.

According to Chen Jian's meaning, could it be that the object that collapsed the ridge was related to the polyhedral metal ball?

"Let's go down and see." By the time he said this, the deputy regimental commander had already changed the driving mode to manual and manipulated the shuttle to leave the high-altitude orbit and rush into the atmosphere of Laxis.

The shuttle swooped down and landed in the desolate and barren mountains, the heat from the thrusters sending up sandstorms on the ground, spreading hot sand around them.

The shock absorption system of the landing gear relieved the reaction force from the ground, and when the shuttle stopped, the two men, who had changed into Ma Runjia, came out of the cockpit and walked to the fracture of the ridge.

The wind and sand rolled the fine sand and slammed on Ma Runjia's back, making a low and uneven muffled sound. Every time the steel boots were stepped on, they shook up a circle of scattered sand.

In the gray sky, Christel's figure loomed, and Dillard had sunk beyond the dim horizon, leaving only the last of his light to bring light to the desolate land.

The two of them walked very slowly, and the gravity coefficient far exceeded that of Christian, making it difficult for them to wear Ma Run's armor, and they had to rely on adjusting the output of the engine to adapt to the harsh planetary environment.

It wasn't until night fell, when the stars were shining, that the two finally reached the fracture of the ridge, and stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the huge pit below.

The wind and sand gradually stopped, the dust raised crept on the ground, and Ma Runjia's searchlight shone in the center of the dark hole, shaking slightly.

Wrapped in broken rocks, a behemoth of thirty or forty meters stood quietly in the core of the pit like a black demonic beast drilling out of the ground.

Receiving the scan data from the detector, Tang Fang narrowed his eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

There was a buzz in the sky, the flowing firelight illuminated the sky that had completely darkened, and a special operations transport ship swept by from a low altitude, appeared directly above the fault part of the ridge, connected Tang Fang and Chen Jian into the cabin, and then slowly sank to a suitable position, and then the two used the cable to land on the huge stone next to the behemoth, looking at the "magic shadow" in the darkness and being silent.

"Sure enough, it was." After more than a dozen breaths, Jian Chen sighed with emotion: "This thing is much more valuable than the ruins of those fast assault ships, our luck is really good." ”

Tang Fang nodded and agreed with his words. Yes, as luck would have it, the half-buried object in front of it was the energy core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship.

According to the battlefield footage taken by the warships of the Central Starport and the Apollo Pirates, all 12 Wuzhu-class armored ships of the Third Committee were destroyed under the tactical destroyers of the Dragon Whisperers, because of the huge energy wave and time and space structure generated by the destruction of the energy core, all the fragments of those battleships were transferred to unknown airspace, and in the vast space environment, it was even more difficult to find them than to find a needle in a haystack.

But just like Jian Chen said, their luck was really good, just a fragment was teleported to the low-altitude orbit of Kristel's main star Laxis, which was captured by the planet's gravity and turned into an extraterrestrial meteorite and fell, smashing the winding ridge in front of them.

What's even more gratifying is that this fragment is not the unimportant outer skin of the battleship, but a precious energy core.

The 80-meter-long Ranger-class fast assault ship and the more than 200-meter-long Wuzhu-class armored ship are naturally not on the same level. Maybe Yasen? Nicholas, Chen Jian and the others did not know the operating principle of the energy core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship, and the well-informed Captain Tang was different, and roughly guessed how amazing this black porous sphere was from their performance.

"You wait here, I'll go in and see how it goes." Receiving an explanation from Emma that there was no danger, he told Jian Chen to wait here while he jumped on a nearby rock and walked into the small holes on the surface of the black sphere.

Compared to the size of the ball, the holes were adjective "small", but compared to Tang Fang, who was dressed in Ma Runjia, it was not small, but on the contrary, large enough for a creature of the height of a fanatic to pass through freely.

According to the scan report of the detector, the core of the sphere shows a certain degree of energy response, and there is only some energy residue on the surface of the sphere and inside the aperture, which is very slight and does not cause a negative impact on the human body. This is also the reason why Tang Fang dared to go deep into the core of the sphere without the fanatics exploring the way.

Along the way, apart from the fine crumbles of gravel that shook under his feet, he didn't see anything worth stopping to study, or any parts. As the energy core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship, the black sphere was not precise at all, completely different from the power source of the battleship he had seen before, and the scene in front of him was very simple, as simple as a whole-cast iron xun.

He'd seen it, but he hadn't blown it, but he didn't expect to get into it one day.

Of course, this is all self-deprecation he used to relieve his boredom, and the simple shape of the sphere made his doubts thicker. From Yasen? It can be seen from the battle footage provided by Nicholas that the energy core of the Wuzhu-class armored ship is high enough to change the spatial structure, but when he is immersed in the scene, he finds that the high-tech product in his impression is actually a simple iron lump, and it does not even have a simple grinding and polishing process.

What the hell is going on?

With this question in mind, he finally came to the core of the black ball, the part that was buried in the rock, and then he froze.

The energy fluctuations detected by the observer came from a suspended crystal in the core cavity area.

He felt that the appearance of the crystal was familiar, like a large T-power stone...... Could it be ...... What is the connection between the people of the Third Committee and the T-people?

Such a thought flashed away, because his intuition told him that this crystal is somewhat similar to the T energy stone, but it is very different, less natural and spiritual, more deliberate and dull, figuratively speaking, it is more like a man-made T energy stone, is an out-and-out copycat product.
