Five standard days later, after Wrench announces to the team that he has reached his destination and has found his target, the wolf-headed realizes how stupid he was when he asked to build a pedestal out of thin air.

In the cockpit of the Sailing, everyone had their eyes open, and after the wrench issued a warning of approaching the target, they rushed straight here, and the truth that was about to be revealed to them decided the life and death of everyone on the ship, no matter what, long-distance communication for help was the only way to survive at present.

Eddie's time sitting in the passenger seat these days has been as long as the driver's wrench. Due to the instability of the antimatter collector, it is necessary to keep a clear mind and keep an eye on the data on the parameter panel at any time, and the complex relationship between the many energy thresholds and conversion values can only be distinguished by him and the wrench.

His main job is to adjust the various indicators of the spacecraft's high-load operation, so that the ion engine can work normally and stably.

Add and Wrench took turns resting in the cockpit until Daystar's ultra-long-range pedestal jumped onto the screen at the end of the detection radar, apparently almost beyond the limits of the Kand's need for sleep.

"So big?" Arthur couldn't help but smack his tongue at the first glance when he saw the data on the pedestal volume from the detection screen. It wasn't the first time he'd seen a communication pedestal, but he had never cared about its size before, and now it played a major role in the measurement of his life and death.

"It really shouldn't be that big." Add meant something completely different from Arthur.

The hands on the upper part of the wrench gestured, and Lilac hurriedly translated.

Wrench says it's a rare free-standing boulder on the outer edge of the galaxy, and his emphasis on the word "rare" is on independence. ”

Arthur knew that the Lyro's distinctive sign language was sometimes clearer than speech, but at this point he was too anxious to know whether it was a boulder or a pedestal ahead of him, and he couldn't even hear what Lilac was saying.

It's just that it's still half a light second away, and this behemoth can already be seen in the field of vision of everyone on the Sailing. It was irregular, looking like a flat chickpea from a distance, and as the distance got closer, they could clearly see the towering towers on the boulder, with traces of man-made material exposed at the edges, and Arthur glared at the eyes to make out the fact that one of them looked like an ion ejector.

"Is this a spaceship?" Arthur was surprised.

"The base deviates from the coordinates for special reasons, and an attitude adjustment device is required, but it is generally an inflator rather than an ion booster." Lilac also felt inexplicable at this time.

As the ship got closer to the boulder's base, it was already clear that the blue reflection from the largest of the stellar energy harvesting plates was visible.

Just as Add and his teammates were carefully examining the base of the massive meteorite, a force field wave suddenly expanded outward from the center of the boulder, and it instantly came to a standstill, forming a spherical shield that completely enveloped the boulder.

Everyone was completely unprepared, and they were all taken aback by this sudden scene,

"Turn off the engine, stop, stop! Hell......" Arthur yelled and rushed to the console, only to find that several hands of the wrench had finished stopping, turning off the main engine, and turning on the front engine to reverse.

"Artificial? Or is it an automatic defense mechanism? Master, are you not mistaken, is this a communication base? Arthur couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Artificial." Eddie said.

"How do you know? Kurusodamus again? I'll tell you young master...... Oh......" Add pointed to the flashing signal light on the console, and Arthur quickly stopped talking, knowing that it was a notification from the airwaves.

"Friends from afar, what kind of wind has blown you all the way from Huo Duer here, I don't know your language, but since you have come to the Martial Emperor, you should be able to understand this damn silver alliance lingua franca, right?" A voice came over the airwaves of the ship's announcement, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in its tone.

"Human, male." Lilac whispers to Add that he is the language master of the squad.

"Hello, my friends of the Silver Alliance, we are Kand Travelers, not Disfaraduls." Add responded.

"It's funny that a Kander is flying the Ascendant's ship." The voice on the airwaves snorted, as if feeling a little curious.

"Dear human friends, we are here to find the communication pedestal, which should be here from the star map coordinates." Add announces his arrival.

"You've seen it all, unless you're looking for another one forty hours away, in which case maybe it's time for you to change the star map in the ship." The voice on the airwaves is funny at this point.

"Then why is the pedestal on this boulder?" Add asked.

"Don't ask me questions I don't know, that's how I came, God knows why they went to the trouble of pulling a boulder to make a communication pedestal, hey, I say, when are the Kanders coming to tinker with humanity? Are you here to reset the pedestal? ”

"No, no, we thought you were ......"

"Is it the left-behind employees of the bloodsucking interstellar enterprise in the communication base? Haha, they can't afford to pay me an hourly wage at my level. The man in the communicator laughed.

"I want to say that as members of the Silver Alliance, we want to ......"

"You're right, I'm indeed a human being, but if you think I'm your ally, you're very wrong, there is no intelligent life alliance on the outer edge of the Martial Emperor Galaxy, it's our paradise, and there's no room for any Silver Alliance dog here, not even guys like you." The man sneered unkindly.

"They're boat people!" Lilac had already suspected it, and at this time immediately confirmed the identity of the other party, and Eddie quickly understood that the notoriety boatman was not easy to deal with, and the tentacles on the top of his head tightened.

"Hail to the Immortal, the great Kubster who lives on in body but soul, who will guide us across the river of death and give us new life on the other side!" The Little Kand people struggled to recall the books they had read about 'boat people' in their early years.

"I have to admire the knowledge that you Kander people have accumulated over the years, "Hope Home"? As the book says, I should reply at this time: Salute the Immortals, and then lower the shield to let you in? ”

"I'm sorry, it's a novel written by a half-informed fool, and real boat people don't talk this nonsense......" The voice clearly revealed its displeasure.

The radio wave reception indicator on the console suddenly goes out at this point.

Arthur looked panicked, "You provoked them, young master, you actually provoked them!" Now what? There's no way we're going back, and if we don't get rid of this hapless shield, we're going to starve to death right under their noses......" The Barekas man's sense of crisis made him almost incoherent.

Before he could finish his sentence, the time outside the porthole changed in an instant, as quickly as it expanded, and the blue shield surrounding the base of the boulder was closed without warning, completely and completely.

Under the searchlight of the Voyage, a rudimentary platform slowly stretched out of the cavern in the boulder, and gave out a port signal around the perimeter, the circle of flickering lights was not continuous, and more than half of them were broken in the order in which they were turned on.

With a completely confused team member, the wrench skillfully piloted the Sailing to seize the opportunity to moor at the docking platform.
