027 Ancient Star Gate
"But she knows what's going on in my head!" Hong Tao was still unwilling.
"Not only Miss Claire knows, but the mastermind and I know. In this connection, the strong signals in your consciousness will be detected and sent by the main brain, as I do now, you will have the other person's voice in your head, but I will not make a sound. Nuel spread his hands and told Hong Tao another fact.
“…… Could it be that you also felt it when my consciousness merged with her! Hong Tao, who was already a little convinced, suddenly widened his eyes again, and began to crawl out of the escape cabin with both hands and feet, this news was terrible.
"No, no, no, consciousness fusion can only be one-to-one, and there is no such possibility from a technical level!" Nuel also knew what Hong Tao was thinking, his face was full of embarrassment, his hands and feet shook together, even if he opened his mouth to speak, he couldn't make a sound, and he still tried hard, for fear that Hong Tao would not be able to hear his explanation in his consciousness.
"That'...... Where has she been now? Hong Tao didn't climb out of the escape pod in the end, the entrance and exit of this thing were locked, and his own command mastermind ignored it, but he took off the helmet on his head, and even then he could no longer hear the words of Nuel and Claire from his consciousness, and he could no longer connect with them. If you want to communicate, let the mastermind convey it, anyway, it is also an accomplice, and it deserves to be tired.
"Miss Claire was in the drone cabin just now, and now ......" Nuel nodded at Hong Tao with a strange smile on his face, and immediately turned his head back.
"Aite, I'm glad to see you're recovered, let's put the rest of things aside, you and Mr. Nuel use the drone to carefully scan the stargate, no matter if you don't find it, you must jump out after twenty minutes. I'll take control of the spaceship, the drone will be handed over to Nuel, let's get started. ”
Hong Tao didn't have to look back to know who was behind him, the mechanical monster never walked silently, and was about to explain that he was not asking about her movements, the mechanical monster spoke, and as he spoke, he got into the escape pod from the top of his head, and quickly connected the data interface, and immediately closed his eyes.
This made Hong Tao even more nervous, can archaeological exploration be in such a hurry? How do you look like a thief! But at this time, the porthole suddenly changed, and two small windows appeared on the left and right, and the images inside were shaking slightly, and they were rapidly approaching in the direction of the big star gate.
It is estimated that this is the image transmitted by the drone, since the two of them have entered the working state, Hong Tao is not good to ask more, just look at it. As long as the automaton can't probe its own thoughts, the problem of strength can be endured for the time being.
At this time, I have to sacrifice Comrade Ah Q's magic weapon to comfort myself, the age of the wheel is more than 20,000 years older than the mechanical monster, how old the cow has to eat and how tender the grass is, even if this grass grows a little strange, it is also grass, and it is not too much of a loss.
After a few seconds, Hong Tao finally saw the figure of the drone from the image of the porthole. It's called a drone, but it's really not the same thing as the drone created by the earthlings. First of all, the volume is very large, larger than the escape pod, and then the speed is too fast, and before you can see what it looks like, you can only see two small bright spots.
And the image of the big star gate is getting clearer and clearer, a few minutes later, the drone is like crawling on the big star gate, one by one, meter by meter scanning each area, regardless of whether there is text and ornamentation are first taken down and preserved, such a close picture Hong Tao has never seen in the information of Nuel's house.
"Stop on the 2nd, go back a little higher!" Close range has the advantage of close range, Hong Tao found a few strokes at the edge of a broken fork, whether it is necessary to take a closer look.
"There were originally at least six columns of text here, but unfortunately the first half was broken, I can only guess two of them from the strokes, if only I could find this fragment......" The drone stopped steadily at the gap under the control of Noel, Hong Tao stared at the image carefully for a long time, and still made no progress.
"I have all the fragments in the space around here, all numbered, and there must be no text on them. But I know of a few similar pieces somewhere, not far from here, there is a meteorite belt around 7AU......"
Nuel quickly gave hope, this big star gate was shattered by some force, it was full of stubble, about a third of its volume was missing, and there were no less than hundreds of fragments floating as far as the naked eye could see.
As Nuel said, there are pictures in his family's hand-me-down materials, and although they weren't taken up close, there are clear pictures of each fragment from every angle. If he says there are no words, then there should be.
"There's no time, the Emma Imperial Navy will be here soon, take back the drone!" Before Noel could finish speaking, the automaton's emotionless emphasis returned, and at the same time, the ship slowly turned.
"This is not the territory of the Emma Empire, why hide from their navy?" Hong Tao has no right to interfere in the question of whether to leave or stay, and even Nuel does not squeak, but Hong Tao wants to ask why he is afraid of the navy, shouldn't he be afraid of pirates?
"It's a holy place for the religious fanatics, and it's surrounded by gravitational probes. We have electronic jamming equipment on board that can be hidden a little longer. However, the space near the big star gate was abnormal, and it was impossible to jump normally, so it could only be used to use drones to get close to investigate. They won't be stealthy or interfere, and if they don't run, they'll be captured and taken to the planet's surface for hard labor. Miss Claire, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the drones to enter the cabin, and their slightly curved engines won't start......"
The question seemed to be more to Noel's taste, and he began to talk about it again, but his face was a little ugly as he spoke.
"Then self-destruct, let's go!" From Nuel's expression, it can be seen that these two drones are probably also expensive, but the tone of the mechanical monster is still unfazed, as if he knew in advance that he was going to lose money. Before the words fell, the spacecraft suddenly broke free from its restraints and entered the passage composed of multicolored auroras.
At the same time as the spaceship jumped, the two drones also burst out with blue light, which exploded so evenly that it was impossible to see what could be called debris with the naked eye, like a cloud blown away by the wind.
In less than twenty seconds, there was a sudden disturbance in the space near the Great Star Gate, and one after another bright lights flashed one after another, and a dark golden spaceship emerged from each bright light.
There were ten of them, only three of them were about the size of an expedition ship, and the others were larger than the other. The largest one is like a big axe, with its head forward and back, looking so textured, it is not the same feeling as the mining ships and cargo ships that Hong Tao has seen.
It's a pity that no matter how textured and powerful the fleet is, it can only return in a huff at this time, and if you can't find the enemy, you can't use the Great Star Gate and the nearby debris to spill your anger, and other than that, there is nothing in this airspace.
At this time, Hong Tao's spacecraft is hiding on the back of an asteroid 12AU away, don't look so far away, one-third of the surface of this asteroid is similar to the big star gate, like a rotten apple that has been left for too long, the potholes are not too round, how miserable it is.
"Aite, do you know how it was destroyed?"
"It should be similar to what happened to the Great Star Gate...... It was like a big explosion here a long time ago. "You don't need to mention the mechanical monster, Hong Tao can guess the reason.
The vicinity of the Great Star Gate was full of debris, and not only this planet, but also the entire three adjacent galaxies were affected to varying degrees. These circumstances are well documented in the information of Noel's family, and are even depicted in the form of a star map, and the center of the explosion seems to be near the Great Star Gate.
However, there is one problem that cannot be explained, the Great Star Gate is made of a metal element formed when a supernova explodes, which the New Edenians call a silver-like supermetal.
Although this thing is scarce, the New Edenians have mined it in recent years and used it in the construction of ships and stargates, and it has not been found that this metal can withstand such an explosion. Even the asteroid was blown up, but the star gate was only partially blown up, which is very unscientific.
