Liu Yi, Mei Yuqi and the others naturally saw all this in the bridge, and listening to the constant sighs of others, the expressions on Mei Yuqi's face gradually became solemn.

The battleship moved cautiously through the vast amount of space junk, and from time to time you could see huge wreckage, and even a battleship that had been blown into several pieces.

The bodies of some of the war dead float slowly in the gaps between these space junks, giving people a creepy and eerie feeling.

The corpses in space do not decay, what they were at the beginning and what they are now, and you can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time from the tragic condition of these corpses.

At this time, everyone's mood is also the same as Mei Yuqi, becoming more and more heavy, everyone is a soldier, and such a tragic situation may happen to everyone at any time.

Tang Jie saw such a scene for the first time, and he was so frightened and frightened that he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he temporarily said goodbye to everyone and returned to his cabin alone.

Liu Yi said to everyone: "You must pay attention to safety when you go out of the cabin to investigate later, there are so many wreckage, there may be unexpected accidents if you are not careful, I don't want to lose people here." ”

"Understood!" Liu Yi's subordinates replied in unison.

After about an hour, the battleship finally reached the vicinity of the first target, and a huge black shadow appeared in front of it, which showed that its scale was very large.

Mei Yuqi introduced: "This space city is called: Baiyue, it was one of the largest space cities at that time, with a maximum capacity of 200,000 people, and it existed as a transit station and military fortress at that time. The reason why I made this the first target of my visit was that it was a military fortress back then, so there should be a lot of recyclable materials. ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Very good, this is indeed a place worth investigating!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yi beckoned and summoned a young officer in front of him.

"Jiang Ping, the matter will be handed over to you, you must pay attention to everyone's safety, it is better to be slow than have accidents." Liu Yi instructed again.

The young officer named Jiang Ping was the head of the operations team for this investigation, and he was mainly responsible for leading the investigation activities outside the cabin. Don't look at Jiang Ping's age of only being in his twenties, but he is a veteran of space operations, and he served as the main person in charge of a large number of space operations when he was in the fortress.

Jiang Ping replied with confidence: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task safely!" ”

Che Kuang behind Liu Yi also instructed: "I will send an operation ship to send you to the vicinity of the ruins in a while, you don't rush to go deeper, report the general situation first, and wait for further instructions before acting." ”

"Understood!"

After explaining the task, Jiang Ping left the bridge and took his men and horses to the designated place to wait for boarding.

Mei Yuqi said to Liu Yi: "This space city adopts a relatively popular structure at that time, with a huge hemispherical metal shell on the outside, and the city facilities are hidden in the shell, if you want to investigate in more detail, you must enter the inside." ”

Liu Yi said: "I think we can send a probe in first, and after we have a general understanding of the situation, we can decide what to do next." ”

"That's fine, but it might take a little more time...... Ms. Mei said.

"It's okay, it's all about safety, and it's worth spending a little more time." Liu Yi said: "Send the probe and small satellites first. ”

With Liu Yi's order, a large number of probes and small satellites flew towards the wreckage of the space city and began to explore the entire ruins in an all-round way.

At the same time, the space operation team also sailed to the vicinity of the ruins on a work boat, preparing to investigate the ruins as a whole.

As time passes, all kinds of data and data are constantly transmitted back, and after computer collation and analysis, all kinds of information are summarized and classified, and finally form an overall report.

"A rough drawing of the ruins has appeared, so you can take a look." Che Kuang said, projecting the image of the ruins depicted by the computer, so that everyone can have a more intuitive understanding.

Through the holographic projection, everyone can see that the ruins of the entire space city are like a broken eggshell, and the large area on the top of the eggshell has completely collapsed into it, and it looks very bad.

In addition, various facilities around the space city have been severely damaged, and most of them have become space junk and debris, forming a huge garbage dump around the ruins of the space city.

"It seems that the main structure has also been damaged, I wonder what is going on inside?" Liu Yi said with some regret.

In this scavenging operation, Liu Yi first looked for large wreckage that could be recycled, preferably one with a complete and stable structure, so that it could be used as the main part of the construction of the factory.

However, the main structure of the ruins in front of you has obviously been severely damaged, and the parts that can be used are very limited, unless the entire structure is dismantled, but the amount of work is very huge.

Mei Yuqi also said: "The main structure of this space city seems to have suffered extremely serious damage, and I don't know what happened back then. ”

At this time, Che Kuang said: "Sir, we are going to let the probe go inside to take a look, it may take a long time." ”

"Okay, let's let the probe in and have a look." Liu Yi nodded.

"Report, this is the space operation team, we have started the out-of-cabin operation, the goal is to collect some fragments of building materials for analysis, and at the same time will sample the materials of the main structure for investigation." The voice of the space operations team was heard from the communicator.

Che Kuang said into the communicator: "Approved, you must pay attention to safety, especially those floating space junk." ”

"Understood!"

At this time, near the space operation ship, several members of the operation team had already left the cabin and carefully flew forward with their mobile work suits.

About a hundred meters away from them, there was a large piece of debris, apparently thrown here by a powerful explosion, mixed with a large amount of other space junk, forming a high-density garbage dump.

Extravehicular operations must be carried out here with great care, and space is full of unexpected dangers at every moment, and often a small piece of debris can cause a serious accident.

Fortunately, the current space work suit is also much more advanced than before, and in appearance, it is somewhat similar to the armor of motorized infantry, but the outside is wrapped in a solid metal shell, and the safety has been greatly improved.

The suits have an independent engine, so they maneuver very well, and together with auxiliary robotic arms and other devices, workers can work in space for a large number of long periods of time.

The three team members slowly flew to the vicinity of the target wreckage with their work clothes, only to see that it was a large white building fragment, which seemed to be some kind of external device in the space city.

The leader of the three was Jiang Ping himself, who first made some observations of the wreckage, and then ordered: "No. 2, you go to the right and take samples from the connecting part, No. 3, you go to the skeleton below to take samples, and I will start from the middle covering part of the wreckage." ”

"Got it." The other two agreed, and a puff of white gas erupted from behind the work clothes, and they controlled the work clothes to float towards the place arranged by Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping himself spewed out a stream of air from behind his work clothes, pushing him towards the middle part of the wreckage.

In a short time, all three of them reached their designated positions, first fixed themselves with the wreckage, and then operated a small robotic arm on their shoulders to use a laser to cut and sample the wreckage.

After a few minutes, the trio finished their sampling work, released the fixtures, and slowly left the wreckage and returned to the meeting place.

"How? Are they all done? Jiang Ping asked.

"It's done."

"No problem."

Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Very good, protect the samples and check whether your work clothes are normal." ”

The three of them carried out the necessary inspection of the work clothes in accordance with the prescribed process, and when they saw that everything was normal, Jiang Ping ordered: "After the inspection, no abnormalities were found, we can return." ”

The three people who returned to the ship handed over the samples to the ship's analysts, who would analyze all three samples in order to determine the nature and characteristics of the wreckage.

While the space operation team was busy, the probe who entered the ruins to investigate also sent back a large amount of information.

The computer analyzed the information and quickly gave a judgment result, and the staff in charge of this area could not help but be surprised when they saw the analysis results.

"Sir! Report sir! The staff hurriedly rushed to Liu Yi and said loudly: "Sir, this is the result of the analysis of the internal investigation, please take a look at it immediately!" As he spoke, the staff had already projected the results of the analysis.

Liu Yi and the others looked up at the analysis results in the holographic projection, and they were also surprised, and they all showed expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Is this true? Actually...... There is such a high amount of radiation! ”

"Look, this radiation has exceeded the red line by thousands of times, and this is the radiation that can kill people!"

Liu Yi frowned and said: "There are only two possible outcomes of such a high radiation, one is that there has been a major accident in the core reactor furnace of the space city, and the other is that the space city has been attacked by nuclear weapons, in my opinion, it is likely to be the second situation." ”

"It's no wonder that the shell of the space city will collapse and break so much, it seems that it was the nuclear weapons that destroyed the space city in the first place, and it was detonated from the inside." Mei Yuqi analyzed.

"Who is so ruthless to attack with nuclear weapons from the inside, this is too cruel!" Che Kuang said angrily.

Liu Yi immediately said: "Withdraw the operation team and the probe, there is no need to investigate this space city." With such a high level of radiation contamination, it is absolutely impossible to recycle, and we have to move on to the next target. ”

Mei Yuqi also said with regret: "I didn't expect that this space city was destroyed by nuclear weapons, and I should have eliminated it in advance." ”

Liu Yi comforted: "It's okay, let's go and investigate something else, how can you know everything about the past, it's not your fault." ”
