After surveying the silvery gray mass on the ground, the probe examined the surrounding walls in detail as usual, and then proceeded to another hole. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The room he entered next was much larger than the two rooms Zhou Xin had seen before, its length was estimated to be more than 100 meters, and its height was also more than 10 meters. In the center of the room stood a few pillars that might have been melted in two, and like the previous room, there were a number of silver-gray molten objects lined up in two rows along the left and right of the wall, leaving a wide passage in the middle. One end of the passage shows a bright starry sky, while the other end is dark due to the lack of light.

Along the wall, the probe flew next to a molten mass of object, which was significantly larger than the previous one, and the shape of some parts of it was still faintly recognizable, despite experiencing high enough heat to melt.

"Looks a bit like a shuttle?" Looking at the lump of metal, Zhou Xin guessed based on its fusiform-like shape spread on the ground.

"It looks a little bit like that." Atlas replied, and then her tone was slightly surprised, "Even the extremely heat-resistant shuttle shell is no longer what it looks like, what happened to this base before?" ”

Zhou Xin was guessing here, and the probe had already started an investigation, and it first circled along the lump on the ground. After determining the shape of the mass, the probe walked over to a bulging piece of metal that barely seemed to maintain the shape of a box and began to investigate.

After a while, Atlas reported the probe's findings, "Brother Captain, the probe has detected that the inside of this box-like thing does not seem to be solid, I don't know if there will be something inside." ”

"Then find a way to open it and take a look." Zhou Xin said.

The detector in the footage has begun to move, and several broken tools have begun to appear in front of the camera, and the detector has begun to try to open the box-like metal object with those tools.

After a while, Zhou Xin saw that the detector on the screen had tried various different tools, but still did not open the metal object, and those tools only scratched a few shallow marks on it.

"The whole thing melted into a single piece, and it was completely connected to the next part, and the detector couldn't find a gap to open, and now the detector is asking people what to do next." A few minutes later, Atlas reported the results of the probe attempt, and then she said to Zhou Xin, "Brother Captain, it seems that it can only be opened violently, but people are afraid that this will destroy the clues that may exist inside." As she spoke, the little girl frowned.

Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, let the probe find a way to cut and bring the entire metal box back, if it is on the spaceship, we will have more ways to try." ”

"Okay." Atlas nodded, "People are calling the probe to do that now." ”

Upon receiving Atlas's order, the probe immediately changed tools and began to attempt to cut the alloy attached to the metal box. Ten minutes later, the detector successfully cut a cut of about five centimeters in the metal.

"This metal is a bit hard." Zhou Xin looked at the work progress of the detector and couldn't help but say to himself, but he didn't have a better way now, so Zhou Xin temporarily gave up continuing to observe the next movements of this detector and turned the camera to other detectors.

However, it is a pity that in the pictures of other probes, the scene Zhou Xin saw was basically the same as what he saw before, most of the remaining rooms of the asteroid base were basically destroyed by violent explosions, and even the rooms were only left with basic frames, not to mention other things. There are only a few things that can be found by the probe, and only a few things can be found, but all of them are intact, all of them have been melted into shapeless lumps by high temperatures, and I don't know if any effective clues can be found in these lumps.

After watching it for so long, Zhou Xin finally couldn't help but speak: "What level of explosion can actually destroy the entire base like this, even the level of a nuclear bomb does not have such power." Aren't the fragments of the three remaining asteroids all located on the edge of the original asteroid? The facilities inside can be destroyed by high temperatures like this, so what about the explosion center, what will it look like? ”

"It's all vaporized." Atlas replied without thinking, and then she looked understanding. "No wonder the probe couldn't find more asteroid fragments before, and now it seems that the rest of the probe should not be found because it flew too far, but right under the nose of the probe, but it was just completely shattered into cosmic dust." Then she added, "As for the level of explosion, maybe it was a super nuclear bomb." Not only in the surrounding space, but also in these asteroid fragments, the probe also detected a large amount of radiation residue, and the intensity of the radiation is even dozens of times higher than the intensity of the surrounding space. In addition, in addition to radiation, the debris and the area around the debris are also filled with full-channel electromagnetic clutter, and people still use a relatively stable detector as a relay before they can contact other detectors. ”

"High-intensity radiation again?" Zhou Xin was not surprised to hear this word, he thought for a while, and then asked, "Isn't it possible to deduce what exactly caused the explosion in the first place based on the type of radiation?" ”

"It's too late now." Atlas sighed with a little regret, "It would have been possible if the explosion had been analyzed at the beginning, but now that so much time has passed, various secondary rays have already been generated there under the influence of the primordial rays." It can be said that basically the ray that can be known, and the space around it is all complete, and there is no way for people to tell which ray existed in the first place. ”

"Is that so?" Zhou Xin's tone was a little regretful.

"There may have been some clues left before." Atlas reassured, "But people need to take some time to study it before they can come up with results." ”

Zhou didn't have much hope for Atlas's words, seeing that the probe's exploration of asteroid fragments was very slow, he continued to hand over the matter to Atlas, and turned his attention to the surface of the planet.

"Voyager, what's going on on the planet's surface right now?" Zhou Xin asked.

"The conflict continues, and it seems to be escalating." Voyager replied as she released the probe's image.

On the screen, the two rings, which were previously faintly recognizable, are now completely intertwined, forming a wider ring near the planet's equator. There are also frequent bursts of intense flashes of light in the band, which often only last for a second or two before disappearing, and then the rest of the place lights up again. At the same time, on the periphery of the belt, a steady stream of flying machines were still flying towards the belt, joining the battle in the belt. Strangely, near the sides of the ring, the warships of both sides stood still, and did not join the battle near the equator, as if they were supervising the battle.

"Is the conflict escalating so quickly?" Zhou Xin's tone was a little surprised, he didn't expect that after only half an hour of not paying attention to the situation on the surface of the planet, what was originally just a small-scale conflict had escalated into a full-scale war.

At this time, Zhou Xin saw that the Southern Continent had gathered a group of flying machines behind the combat zone, and after gathering a certain number, this group of flying machines seemed to be trying to bypass the upper part of the combat area to attack the rear of the opponent, but it didn't take long for this attempt to be discovered by the other side, and they also hurriedly mobilized a group of flying machines to meet them. The end result was that the two sides still met near the equator and fought at the location of the meeting.

In the following period, the two sides fought fiercely near the equator, and tried to carry out a sneak attack, but often this sneak attack failed, and eventually the sneak attack troops and the defending troops would turn near the equator, and then they had to join the equatorial ambush in the big melee, and the battle between the two sides suddenly fell into a stalemate.

"There is really no way to win the battle between the two high-tech civilizations, and it seems that they can only rely on the strength of the hard-hitting." Seeing that the sneak attacks organized by the two sides were all blocked without exception, Zhou Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Not necessarily." Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Dart, who had been paying attention to the battle on the screen, spoke, "Don't you see that the two sides are only involved in the battle now?" The battle between these aircraft may seem large-scale, but there is nothing technical about it. And don't you see that the battleships behind both sides did not start to join the battle? I'm afraid it's just an appetizer, the real battle hasn't started yet. At the end, his voice was a little muffled.

Suddenly, a large number of snowflakes began to appear on the screen, and at the same time as the snowflakes appeared, the Voyager reported: "Your Excellency, both sides are beginning to release all-channel interference to each other, and this ship is trying to eliminate it. It didn't take long for the picture to be clear again, but by this time, the battle situation on the screen had completely changed.

Zhou Xin saw that the movements of the two aircraft that were originally fighting fiercely had become stiff, and even the flash of the explosion was much less. All of the aircraft flew around the equator like headless flies, and it was not uncommon to see many aircraft belonging to the same side crashing together and then falling at the same time.

"It looks like that's the end of the first phase of the battle." Seeing this situation, Dart said, "Sure enough, as I thought before, these aircraft are unmanned types, and they completely fail after encountering electromagnetic interference. ”

As soon as his words fell, the battleships that were originally located in the rear on the screen began to move, and the warships on both sides began to start up, heading towards the equator. At the same time, the warships of both sides began to release new aircraft outward, and the aircraft that were originally near the equator fell one after another under the violent electromagnetic interference, and only a few aircraft were still staggering and insisting on flying, but it was not long before they could fly.

Unlike the previous rudimentary aircraft, from the outside, these aircraft launched by the battleship are much more detailed. Moreover, the shape of the aircraft launched by the two sides is also very different. Zhou Xin saw that the aircraft launched by the warships in the north looked similar in shape to bullets, with the tail of the bullet spraying flames backwards, and the front part was equipped with some unknown devices or weapons. After breaking away from the battleship, the aircraft quickly overtook the battleship and flew at high speed towards the equator.

On the other side, the aircraft launched by the battleship resembled a four-cornered thistle, and after leaving the battleship, three of its horns spewed flames, propelling the aircraft forward, while the remaining horn without fire-breathing looked like a weapon launchport. Like the aircraft on the other side, they are rapidly approaching the equator.

After only a few minutes of detachment from the battleship, the aircraft of both sides had not yet approached, but they had already begun to fire missile-like weapons. On the case of the bullet-shaped aircraft, the missile is launched through the opening on the side of the aircraft, and the shape of the missile is no different from that of a normal cylindrical missile. As for the thistle-shaped aircraft, Zhou Xin originally thought that the position of the launch port did not shoot out the missile, but instead a weapon launch port was opened on the side of each of the three corners of the rear, and two three-edged arrow-shaped missiles were launched outward from each launch port.

After the missile broke away from the respective aircraft of both sides, it directly swooped down on the other side, and in less than a minute, the missile met the opponent's aircraft.

When the missile was about to hit the aircraft, the aircraft of both sides made evasive actions one after another, and the aircraft of the northern continent completely relied on maneuverability to dodge the incoming missiles, of course, there will always be a few aircraft that will be destroyed because they can't dodge. The flying machines on the southern continent were slightly different, the originally non-moving weapon launch port collectively launched lasers, this wave of lasers almost detonated most of the incoming missiles, and the remaining fish that slipped through the net were basically dodged by them, and only a few of them were also miserably killed due to their inability to dodge. Overall, the first wave of attacks on both sides caused only painless damage to the other.

Next, the aircraft of both sides fired missiles as they advanced towards each other, but with little success, and the losses were basically the same compared to those of both sides.

Ten minutes after the first wave of missiles was launched, the aircraft of the two sides finally met, and the battle would enter an even more brutal close-quarters fight......
