Chapter 1338: A Place Steeped in History

As the navigator's voice landed, the environmental conditioning system shielding the external light radiation came back online, and the bulkhead became translucent, and the rapidly circulating neon outside could be seen.

With the current warp speed level, it has weakened a lot compared to Fang Cai, and the fast-flowing sea of light outside has also slowed down.

A minute passed in the blink of an eye, and when the soft light tide suddenly erupted from the bow of the ship, the streamer in front of him suddenly disappeared, turning into a deep and empty cosmic environment.

The Hestian system casts a cloudy glow, with a zoomed image of the Lexington star system reflected below.

Yuffie walked back to her post, and Nova turned her attention to the environmental data collected by the ship's sensing system.

"Lexington star system...... Tyrant's Crown......" he muttered as he squinted into the dark and deep void ahead.

This is the hostage exchange site chosen by the Dragonwhisperers, located on the border of the Silver Eagle Regiment, and it can be said that it has entered the scope of the Sea of Dead Silence.

If you look at the star map, the Lexington star system has a very obvious sense of dissociation from other star systems controlled by the Silver Eagle Cluster, even the nearest Gore star system, the distance between the two is almost 13 light years.

It is precisely because it is too far away from other star systems and has entered the range of the Sea of Dead Silence, which does not have much strategic significance in the war with the Phoenix Empire, but is more vulnerable to enemy attacks, so the Silver Eagle Navy directly abandoned the Lexington star system, and only arranged some unmanned facilities in the nearby airspace to monitor the surrounding environment and the movements of the Phoenix Empire's navy.

The space region composed of the Lexington star system, the Gore star system, and the Skonan star system is also known as the Tyrant's Crown. When the Jupiter Expeditionary Force invaded the Tianchao Star Zone, it was used as a landing point.

The war against the invaders was over, and the descendants of the Jupiter Empire were indigenized for a long time and became part of the Hillembir region. After the establishment of the Silver Eagle Regiment, the ruler decided to abandon the three star systems of the Tyrant's Crown, considering that the three star systems of the Tyrant's Crown were relatively barren, and the inland star systems had become devastated by war, so they decided to abandon this place, withdraw resources from the three star systems, and shift the focus of development to the rich inland areas.

By the time the Silver Eagle declared war on the Phoenix Empire, the Lexington star system had become almost a garbage disposal site, and several planets had been dumped inland with large amounts of industrial waste and elemental waste that were currently difficult to dispose of. Only the Tanda Star, where the Jupiter Expeditionary Force used to live, is still clean, and there is still an old military space station in the high-altitude orbit, but it was bought by a commercial company in the early years and converted into a service space station to provide various services for some traveling merchants.

After the Silver Eagle declared war on the Phoenix Empire, all the Silver Eagle people living here withdrew inland, and this place became a no-man's land, only the Silver Eagle Naval Frontier Patrol would send reconnaissance ships and operators to stay here for a period of time from time to time.

The Dreadnought-class Bastion moved rapidly with conventional engines, and the light of the "Lexington" shone on one side of the ship, reflecting a frosty glow.

On the navigation map, the distance between the battleship and Tanda is getting shorter and shorter, and the service space station in the high-altitude orbit of the gray planet can already be seen through the bow camera.

He was not surprised by the dark portholes and the silence of space, but by the huge craters on the surface of the space station and the metal garbage suspended around it. Obviously, this service space station, which was abandoned by the Silver Eagle people, has been subjected to a baptism of fire. It reminded him of Royas, or more precisely, Prince Kursk's Shadow Rangers navigating the Sea of Silence and entering the heart of the Silver Eagle Regiment's defenses to attack, and it was likely that the Shadow Rangers bombed the Lexington Stellar System's service station on the way back, creating a vision.

"I don't know if the commercial company that owns this space station has insurance."

Nova glanced at him, helpless that Captain Tang was still trying to joke about it.

"I don't understand why you would want to agree with the Dragonwhisperer to determine where to trade, instead of taking the initiative into your own hands." As she spoke, she pressed a button on the console, and the display screen in front of her flashed and a close-up appeared.

It wasn't a service space station riddled with holes in the high-altitude orbit of Tanda, it was a warship moored in deep space in the distance...... A fortress ship.

The smile on Tang Fang's lips faded, and he squinted at the image on the monitor.

The 3km long battleship on the opposite side is very cool, completely different from the Stargazer, and from a distance, its outline looks like a round ball, but it is not a closed facility like a wandering planet or a death star, but a spherical vehicle with many fan-shaped wings arranged together with an energy core as the central axis.

Each fan-shaped wing is modular, with the bones composed of opaque silver alloys and the main wingspan of hexagonal crystals.

A large number of hexagonal crystals are arranged in a regular manner to form a fan-shaped surface, and a large number of fan-shaped surfaces are arranged in a regular manner to form a spherical body.

Through the gap between the fan-shaped surface and the fan-shaped surface, you can see that the core is a little dynamic and fiery.

In the cross-section of the edge of a fan-shaped wing, he saw the emblem representing the Dragonwhisperer Order, a dragon with outstretched wings and silver hair like a waterfall.

Tiamat ...... Tiamat Branch of the Dragon Whisperer. The identity of this fortress ship is also about to be revealed - the Quantum.

He had thought that the Dragonwhisperers would dispatch the fortress ships of the Nidhogg Branch, so he would have to make a little more plans, but he didn't expect it to be the Quantum of the Tiamat Branch.

"Why do you think I'm using the Dreadnought-class Bastion for this hostage swap? Once the Dragonwhisperers play a trick, we will be able to use the Teleportation Beacon to return to the mothership. And I don't think the other side would do it while Kukulkan was seriously injured and unconscious, which would most likely harm their companions. And also...... I believe in the words of Bhasuji. This was his answer to the question above.

Miss Agent shook her head and said, "Aren't you afraid of the scene that happened when the Montesk Stellar System Medical Space Station played against Black Q?" No one can guarantee that the Dragonwhisperers have no similar technology to interrupt space-time teleportation. ”

"Will it?" He blinked, and said seriously, "I really didn't think this would happen......

It can be seen from the fact that the red T energy stone encapsulated inside the Demon Hunter has a targeted effect on the phagosome polymer, and it can be seen that the efficiency of the Dragon Whisperer's use of the T energy stone is far higher than that of the God Armament, if it can create a spatial mirror fault like the special model of the Anubis Legion's Great Priest-level power armor, block his close connection with the system, or shield the quantum teleportation channel of the Dreadnought-class fortress ship, it is naturally a very normal thing. Miss Agent's concerns are legitimate.

Nova stared at his face for a moment, "You know...... The facial expression on your face when you say that sentence is really shady. ”

He quickly covered his face and said, "It's good to hit anywhere, but you can't hit here, I still expect it to eat." ”

Yuffie smiled and leaned back, and the nearby staff cast disdainful glances.

This is their Captain Tang, sometimes teasing, sometimes literary, sometimes philistine, sometimes generous, sometimes decisive, sometimes cowardly, sometimes full of enthusiasm, sometimes quiet and rational, sometimes worried about the country and the people, sometimes without scruples......

In short, he was a true and natural friend and comrade, not one of those high-minded, majestic and dignified leaders and emperors.

Nova showed a rare smile, feeling helpless.

When the bridge of the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship was surrounded by a joyous atmosphere, the hull of the Quantum shimmered with a dazzling light, which is a means of light communication used by the navies of sovereign nations.

The intelligence officer told him that the other party meant the Dragonwhisperers, and that several of the leaders were already waiting on Tanda.

It seemed a bit disrespectful to transmit information in this way, but Tang Fang didn't care, and told the pilot team to go to the other side of the service space station to moor in deep space, try to stay away from the high-altitude orbit, and not put pressure on the dragon whisperers.

The bridge door opened suddenly, and the veteran came in with a half-lit cigar in his mouth and nodded to him.

Tang Fang beckoned to Nova, and said a few more words to Yufi, and quickly left the bridge and walked towards the belly hangar.

When he took the elevator down, he shook his head helplessly: "That guy Bukharin, two days ago, he was clamoring to see the demeanor of the person in charge of the Dragon Whisperer. Well, I got myself drunk again yesterday...... I can't complain that I didn't give him a chance. ”

Aros said: "Don't pay attention to him, in case of an emergency like this environment, you can only tie your hands and feet with him, it is better to stay on the ship safely." ”

Nova glanced at him, provoking a fierce look from the veteran.

The corners of her mouth twitched a few times, but she didn't say anything after all.

When the group arrived at the hangar, the Griffon's hatch was open.

Nova was stunned for a moment after boarding the ship, because the footage provided by the closed-circuit surveillance equipment showed that the cargo hold not only contained Kukulkan's medical cabin and the coffin of the dead woman, but also a black stone ridge placed upright.

She reacted at once and figured out what kind of medicine was sold in Captain Tang's gourd.

Just like what I had worried about when I was on the bridge just now, if Captain Tang arrived on the ground, the Dragon Whisperer's people would activate a special force field that was enough to block spatial teleportation, and then they would inevitably fall into a very passive situation.

What happens if you carry a Void Corruption and activate it at a critical moment? It must be exciting.

"What a speechless guy." She shook her head, took a seat in the main pilot's seat, turned on the ship's main engine, and waited for the dreadnought-class bastion hangar towing equipment to push the Gryphon to port.

"Let's go, I hope those people will talk." The veteran said as he dropped half of the cigar on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

Tang Fang keenly noticed that Miss Agent glanced at the ground, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, how could she not have thought that Miss Nova was a person with a habit of cleanliness, or that she hated the guy who smoked?

The Griffon's twin wings flashed as it sailed out of the harbor of the Dreadnought-class fortress ship, made a turn in the air, and flew towards Tanda.

I don't know why this place has been abandoned for a long time, and it has become a well-known garbage disposal plant, and even the people who serve the space station do not pay attention to maintaining a clean and tidy orbital environment, or if the Phoenix Imperial Navy just broke the warehouse of living materials serving the space station, in short, a large amount of domestic garbage can be seen filling the channel during the Griffon's flight to Tanda.

Broken pillows, flying goose feathers, sun-reflecting forks, broken wine glasses, T-shirts with skull motifs, and even embarrassing dodge sets, erotic underwear, and color impurities......

He didn't know if Nova had noticed the shy figures, but Miss Agent increased the thrust of her engines after breaking into orbit, and the Gryphon shot a trail of cyan light in the silent world, plunging into the sun-drenched interior.

When the Jupiter Expeditionary Force occupied this place, it did not carry out a comprehensive environmental transformation of Tanda to make it a habitable planet, and the Silver Eagle Regiment did not develop it after its establishment, and today's Tanda is still a barren planet.

It has a very thin atmosphere, so the light is very strong during the day, the temperature is extremely high, and the night is unusually cold, which is not suitable for human habitation.

After the Jupiter Expeditionary Force landed at the Tyrant's Crown, in order to settle the daily life and living of the soldiers, a large number of living pavilions were set up in the terrestrial world of Tanda compared to other planets of the Lexington star system.

These living halls with different living functions, different internal environments, and different architectural structures are connected together to form a closed town, and personnel are transferred and flowed between them through military transport boats, hovercraft, shuttles and other tools.

Of course, these large and small towns do not have a dazzling array of commercial shops, nor do they have different styles of buildings, they only have the most basic functions such as living, dining, and activities.

As the Jupiter Expeditionary Force gained a foothold in the Tianchao Star Region and successfully captured one habitable star after another, the military personnel on Tanda Star moved to various places one after another. When the Jupiter Empire in the Asgot region collapsed, the expeditionary force was divided into two, with the Phoenix Empire led by the royal family and the Silver Eagle Regiment led by the Apollo and Duncan families.

Just like Lilietta's grandparents...... Although it was glorious and prominent in the past, with the change of the sun and the moon, time flew in, and the glory of the past was sealed in the pages of history and became a part of the people.

If time is a knife to kill pigs, then history is a cemetery, precipitating too many pasts and burying too many memories.

To some extent, the abandoned living hall on the ground of Tanda Star has become a theme cemetery that highlights the vicissitudes of history.

Looking at the past from the Griffin, the wind and sand have almost buried the living halls, and there are all kinds of protrusions on the ground near the building, which can be distinguished through close-up lenses that should be the remains of land vehicles or various bags, just like the dead wreckage of the ancient battlefield, let the wind and sand blow, and the years will erode.
