Chapter 257: Red Cloud

There was no cohesion between the tiny crystals, and from a distance it looked like a red cloud of dust, not as bloody as before, and because of the distance between the crystals, this strange cloud of star sand turned a faint pink, and if it weren't for the fact that it came from a terrifying and powerful monster, everyone who saw it would have admired this beautiful landscape. The fleet's leading team cautiously rushed into the pink clouds, cutting several long trails of progress, the broken crystalline core was in the depths of this red cloud, and Asker maintained his speed to prevent the fleet from breaking into the trap of the opponent, although the opponent had already suffered heavy blows, he would not let his guard down until complete victory.

The red dust cloud tumbled and moved, spreading into a hollow circle. From the time this crystal was created, it has never been separated, they are a tightly integrated whole, whether it is a loose crystal in the outer layer or a dense body in the core, they come together to have a complete intellect, directing each part to complete the complex work that the original whole could not do. And now they are shattered, and each basic crystallization is reduced to the most primitive differentiation potential.

"They are now in a semi-dormant state, and when they grow into an oval cyst, they will stop growing and wander endlessly in the universe until they reach a suitable environment, at which point they will ingest the matter around them and grow again, and no one can say if there will be a day." The spacecraft researchers collected a crystalline cyst and briefly analyzed their properties.

"Do you want to destroy them?" Asker's crew asked.

"Let's take some more samples as samples, forget the rest, there are too many of them to deal with, and it would be self-defeating if our attack revives it." Asker shook his head, the ship he piloted was the first to reach the core fragments.

Suffering such a powerful blow, the crystal collapsed and seemed to be completely dormant, and a thin blue crystal grew on its surface to envelop itself, this layer of protection was so strong that it could be seen that even in the face of such an irresistible and powerful attack, the crystal still showed its terrifying ability to adapt and evolve.

Asker did not let his guard down, he turned on the signal reflector as fast as possible, and covered the crystal with that long wave frequency, it was very difficult to get rid of the control of the wave frequency in the heyday of the crystal, and now it has been hit like this, and the remaining part of the core computing power is limited, and it is basically impossible to get out of control anymore. Originally, it would take a dozen ships to control it, and to stretch the effective range of the signal to the maximum limit, but now there is only such a small core left, and three ships can wrap it up with the signal.

But it was not so easy to pull it, as they had predicted before, the mass of this crystalline core was extremely large, and if it was a complete core, it would not be able to transport it even if the entire fleet dragged it together, and now the size of this crystalline was a little smaller than they had originally calculated, and it was just right for the three big ships to transport it. After Asker's vanguard took control of the crystallized fragments, the next step was to reach the faster team of frigates, who attached the prepared special carbon fiber cables to the core fragments, and the three strategic ships had already reached when they secured it.

This battle lasted for a long time, and the stargate had less than a hundred hours left to open again, and when it came over, it was easy to only open the passage in one direction, but it would be troublesome to drag such a heavy thing back, and the people on the other side of Tianhua Si needed to open the stargate at the same time to increase the efficiency of the passage.

Now it is almost enough time to drag this fragment to the Star Gate and renovate the entire fleet, but at this time, Asker received the news of trouble again, Mark and Sun Tan sent a distress signal from the core area of Star City, they started the singularity generator and were surrounded by the army of Star City, in order to take out the heavy antimatter ball inside the engine, Sun Tan They forcibly dismantled the engine, and now it is impossible to recover, and fighting with the army of Star City consumes all their available resources, They are now trapped in Starlight City and cannot leave, and have been captured by the other party.

"The barbarians!" Asker's anger at the departure was because of the obstruction of Shining City, and it took them a lot of effort to activate the device at the last moment, and now the people of Shining City have taken action to detain them, and they are still unwilling to stop fighting.

"Don't they know the difference in military strength between the two sides?" Ma Yan felt a little incredulous, Mark and the two laymen drove such a spaceship with no heavy firepower to contain the main force of Star City, if they insisted on fighting with the fleet, there was no possibility of victory at all, even if Mark and them were used as bargaining chips, they could not get any benefits from it, after all, there was a qualitative gap in the strength of the two sides.

"I've said it all, a bunch of barbarians, their vision is very narrow, they can't see the fleet at all, they don't know that we are fighting the crystall, they may not even know who attacked them, they can only see the explosion just now, even if Mark they explain to those people they won't believe it, those people have cunning and ignorant blood in their bones, don't forget what they did before, they stabbed us in the back at the most difficult juncture on earth." Asker is rarely emotionally affected by others, but this time he is really angry, the matter of the crystal has been settled, and they didn't have the energy to care about the affairs of Starlight City before, but now it's different.

"Let me go, I'm a little worried about my brother's ......" Ma Yan took the initiative to ask.

"No, we only have you as a central commander, and we can't let you go on adventures." Aske still thought carefully about the overall situation, "Yezi, you bring a few spaceships in good condition to rescue them, don't delay the last time, report to me at any time if there is any situation, the crystals have been controlled by us, and there is nothing to be afraid of now." ”

"Understood." Eliso's salute, her projection disappearing from Asker's podium.

The girl quickly counted five frigates in good condition, seven of which had been lost in the previous retreat, and she had more than fifty frigates that could form a formation when she set off, but now there were very few.
