The "Echo" stopped at a tall dock in Montu, where it had already been greeted by a group of Montatu, all of them in glittering uniforms, tall and burly, walking in a tough and upright posture, looking like soldiers.

Luo Xingyu and Alpad stepped off the spaceship.

The people who greeted them were very respectful when facing Arpad, which couldn't help but make Luo Xingyu suspect that Alpad's identity might be very high. An officer who appeared to be their leader walked and talked to Arpad. The Montatu people did not show a particularly surprised look at Luo Xingyu's appearance, probably because they were used to aliens.

Arriving at a building next to the parking platform, Arpard walked into a room with the officer, and Luo Xingyu waited outside. After a while, Arpad came out and told him that he still had a lot of work to hand over, and he arranged for Luo Xingyu to stay in their reception center first, and then came to him after he finished his work, and Luo Xingyu agreed.

With a wave of his hand, a soldier walked over, and Arpad whispered a message to the soldier, and then said goodbye to Luo Xingyu and left. The soldier led Luo Xingyu to an open platform next to the parking platform, where there was a row of flying machines with transparent masks similar to go-karts. They sat inside, and the soldier drove the aircraft off the dock and towards the other side of the city. In the air, Luo Xingyu saw that the bottom of the high-rise building was bottomless, the clouds were swirling in the middle, the city was endless, all kinds of buildings of different shapes were either towering into the clouds, or crawling on the ground, with beautiful shapes, reflecting the aesthetic taste of the Montattu people, and some high-rise buildings were connected by very wide passages in the middle, which could be connected by several cars in parallel, like a street in the air.

During the flight, Luo Xingyu talked to the soldier, and the soldier was not surprised at all that Luo Xingyu could also speak Montatu.

"Is Alpad your superior?"

"Well, sort of."

"So he is?"

"He's our major, but not my direct supervisor."

"I see," Luo Xingyu understood, no wonder those people were so respectful to him just now. They talked about other things, the soldier asked about Luo Xingyu's origins, the situation on Earth and the process of his acquaintance with Alpad, and Luo Xingyu also asked about the general situation of Montatu Xing.

It wasn't long before they came to a building that looked like a tall spindle-shaped cocoon standing in the air. The craft flew into the cocoon and came to a halt on a platform. They walked into a tall room and came to a palatial and beautiful lobby, and the soldier handed Luo Xingyu over to the reception staff in the lobby and left.

The lines of the reception staff's face are softer, they also have breasts, and their bodies are graceful, not as tough as Alpad, although Luo Xingyu doesn't know what Montatu's women look like, but intuitively they should be women.

They should already know Luo Xingyu's situation, and after asking a few words, Luo Xingyu was arranged in a large and beautiful room, all the facilities in the room are readily available, one side of the room is transparent glass, looking out from the glass, you can see most of Mengdu, the scenery is really invincible.

Luo Xingyu took a comfortable bath, and then prepared to rest, he hadn't rested on a fixed bed for months. After a good night's sleep, he woke up early the next morning and wanted to go to the lobby to ask if he could go out to play.

As a result, there is no need for him to ask, the reception center originally has a small spaceship for tourists to travel, because there are other aliens in the reception center, they are all here to visit, study or come on a business trip, and some of them want to go out to play, and the reception center will arrange for them to go out to play from time to time.

So Luo Xingyu went out with the spaceship on the first day. After a few days, he visited most of Montatu, including the Montatu people's science and technology centers, business districts, universities, councils, fully intelligent automated factories, and more, and learned about their history, customs, and structure.

After five or six days, Arpard came, and he wanted to pick up Luo Xingyu to his house as a guest. Arpad's house is on the edge of a park-like scenic area on the edge of the city, it is a large building with a large garden, and his family has many attendants, and then Luo Xingyu knows that Alpad's father is the speaker of Montatu. Luo Xingyu couldn't help but be in awe of Alpad, the son of the Speaker, not only rushed to the front line to carry out long-distance and high-risk interstellar voyages to carry out missions, but also did not show a little arrogance and arrogance in front of him from beginning to end, which couldn't help but make Luo Xingyu deeply admired, indicating that he was very low-key.

Alpad's father was dignified but easy-going and kind, and his mother was elegant and amiable, and they all received Luo Xingyu cordially. Alpad's parents inquired in detail about Luo Xingyu's encounter with Alpard on Earth and the reason why he came to Montatu, and they expressed their deep gratitude to Luo Xingyu for the help he provided to his son on Earth, and after Alpad's father learned of Luo Xingyu's intention to come to Interstellar, he said that if Luo Xingyu wanted to, he could arrange for him to go to Montatu's alien school to study, Luo Xingyu immediately expressed his willingness and expressed his gratitude.

After leaving Alpad's house, Arpard took Luo Xingyu to visit places he had not been to, and also took him to experience the daily life of the Montatu people.

A few days later, Alpad is on a mission to a remote mining planet where some elusive aliens have been spotted near the planet, and they have come to find out where these aliens came from. Alpad knew that Luo Xingyu came to the universe to see more of the outside world, so he decided to take him to see it by the way this time, he was the leader of this operation, and he had this right. Luo Xingyu couldn't ask for it, he knew that it was Alpa's kindness, and immediately expressed his deep gratitude to him.

A few days later, they set off. The spaceship on this ride was a spaceship named "Stinging Snake", it was a battleship, it was more than 100 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, spindle-shaped, worthy of the name of the stinging snake. It has a complete attack system, which can carry more than a dozen triangular flat Montatu fighters, and can fully carry more than 300 soldiers, but this time Alpard only brought 50 soldiers.

On the spacecraft, Luo Xingyu learned that the planet they were going to this time was called T4, about six light-years away from Montatu, and it was a uranium mining center, Montatu's annual spaceflight required huge uranium mines, and the production and storage of antimatter with more huge energy also required greater energy, and the uranium mines possessed by Montatu's home planet were far from enough, so they needed to mine on other planets with resources.

For the Montatu, faster-than-light flight seemed commonplace, so it didn't take long for the Stinger to reach the T4 star. From the air, it is a desolate, rocky planet with no living life and no suitable air in the whole star. Everywhere was a desolate iron gray.

The "Stinging Snake" stopped in front of the tarmac of the mine area, and the mine manager and the chief of the mine escort came to greet him, the mine manager was an obese man, and the captain of the guard had a bronze face, thick face and big eyes, and his name was Mursa. The fleet was arranged, Luo Xingyu and Alpad were arranged together, and the two rooms were next door.

After settling down, Arpard began to investigate the situation of unidentified aliens, it turned out that recently, there were some unidentified alien spacecraft that appeared around T4 and even over the mining area, but they did not contact the Montatu people, nor did they report their identities, and their appearance was very suspicious. Their spacecraft are also very advanced, and every time the Montatu fighter takes off to intercept it, they successfully escape, so the base guard officer Mursa applied to the headquarters to send additional warships to investigate.

Usually Alpard goes to do his investigation work, and Luo Xingyu is playing around the mining area, or watching the huge mining robots in the mining area. Because T4 is an inanimate planet, the scenery is the same over and over again, a desolate iron gray, but the starry sky here is exceptionally beautiful. Sometimes there will be a violent sandstorm on the planet, high into the sky, flying sand and rocks, blowing all over the sky, because the sand and gravel contain different mineral elements, chemical reactions occur in the air, emitting a variety of brilliant brilliance, like a rain of fireworks, is also a spectacle. At this time, the Montattu people watch this naturally occurring fireworks display under the site's huge glass canopy, and there are also some dead volcanoes and huge craters formed by meteorite impacts outside the mine, and the crater walls are as steep as cliffs, which are also spectacular.

For six or seven days after their arrival, the unknown aliens did not appear, and after the seventh day, the base alarm sounded, and the unknown alien spaceship arrived. The "Stinger" immediately took off, but as before, it still returned in vain. Those unidentified alien fighters are not at all like them, and they are not entangled, so it is difficult to catch. Their fighters certainly don't have the ability to fly over long distances, and there must be their ships or bases around, but the surrounding interstellar space is too large, and it is too difficult to find out the hiding place and small base of a ship through detection, which takes a lot of spaceships, a long time, or luck.

A few days later, they came again, and the "Stinging Snake" took off again, but they still found nothing, and they went back and forth like a game of cat and mouse many times, and the investigation still made no progress, and there was no way to go on like this, and Alpad and they were at a loss for anything about it.

Once, when Luo Xingyu came back from outside, he found Al Pard sitting at the table worried.

"Brother Alpad, are you still worried about unknown aliens?" Luo Xingyu walked in and asked.

"Oh yes." Arpad looked up.

"Can't shoot them down, can't track them?"

"If they can't shoot down, they will flee as soon as they fall into the wind, and the speed is also very fast, and it is difficult to catch up."

"Can't find their big ship or hiding place?"

"I can't find it, it's too big."

"Can you fire an adsorption tracker or something?"

"No way, even if the launch is successful, it will be discovered."

"And will they fight with you?"

"Yes, but they don't love to fight, and they run away at a disadvantage."

"And what if you can't shoot them down, let them shoot you down?"

"Are you crazy!? How could we possibly let them shoot down? ”

"I'm not saying that you want your people to be shot down by them, I'm saying that your fighters will be shot down by them."

"Huh? Tell me about it. Alpad's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to think of the same thing as Luo Xingyu's heart, he said.

"Next time you do this, don't go to more fighters, when you are fighting, you pretend to be a fighter plane for them to shoot down, your pilot jumps, you pretend to be invincible, only save the pilot, not the fighter, leave the fighter on the battlefield, see if they take the fighter away, do you think this will work?"

"That's right," Alpad exclaimed, slapping his head, "we could install a positioning system in the secret position of the fighter, why didn't we think of it!" Hey, you're so smart! ”

"No, it's a ploy on our planet, it's called the Trojan Horse Scheme."

"That's also because you earthlings are smart, you are also smart, we have also had such a scheme, but I didn't think of it, thank you for reminding me, I'll go to Mursa to discuss it now." Alpad touched Luo Xingyu's head, patted him on the shoulder and said, then rushed out of the room and went to Mursa to discuss.
