Seeing that the crowd gradually dispersed, Raphael's expression flashed with a trace of worry, and he bowed slightly to Casares and asked: "My lord, I am still deeply disturbed by this operation, the remnants of the source of evil have also been revealed, even if the captain of the guard goes in person, it is still unknown what the situation is there, whether to consult the imperial ......"

Casares's expression remained unchanged: "Raphael, God has also imposed restrictions on the blasphemers, the country of China is stable and powerful, and these blasphemers do not dare to smuggle in on a large scale." But since they have come from afar in spite of the dangers, there must be something in this sinful place that they desperately want, and the light of God will bless us...... It's too late to ask the Empire, and we can't tolerate blasphemers getting what they want! Any of their plots must be thwarted, and here, perhaps, there really is something that the emperor wants......"

Raphael's body trembled slightly, only he knew what Casares was talking about, three hundred years ago, because it had caused a bloody storm in the universe, and he had just cheered into a peaceful world before enjoying a moment of warmth, and fell into a five-year melee.

Xiang Zhezeng, a great thinker at that time, said sadly: "Victory does not bring the dawn of dawn in the dark, but blows the clarion call for mankind to step into even darker!" ”

……

"No! Absolutely not! Old Han lowered his voice and roared, "I absolutely disagree with this!" ”

Inside the room, the flow of air seemed to be about to stand still.

Just because Xiao Cheng said that he was going to drive the shuttle to explore it alone!

"Xiao Chengcheng must be crazy!" Fluttershy nods with wide eyes.

"If you want to go over there, the most suitable candidates are me and Lao Han!" The bald dragon waved his arm, "We are all soldiers who have participated in various battles!" No matter what danger arises, you can deal with it! ”

"Not bad! Xiao Cheng, you are our hope to develop our own battle starship in the Peerless Domain, and we can't afford any mistakes! Brother Wu also shook his head, "And Nan Xin, and the old man - they have been looking forward to you for four whole years!" Don't be willful! ”

"I ...... I know ......" Xiao Cheng knew that everyone would oppose it like this, "but ......"

"Xiao Cheng, if you go, I will go with you!" Nan Xin held his hand tightly, his eyes firm and resolute.

"If you want to go, you can only go alone, there is only one shuttle equipped with simple protective armor and small detectors on the Hidden Dragon, you are a girl, how can I rest assured that you will go!" Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice.

Then his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then said: "Behind this space-time gate, there may be a complete Odin God Kingdom starship research and construction base, which is in line with the profession I have been studying all these years, maybe it is the arrangement of fate, no matter what starship information or clues are found in it, only I understand the value, everyone here can no longer be more suitable than me to explore these secrets!" ”

"What's more!" Xiao Cheng stopped the bald dragon who wanted to speak, "The news of this ruin will soon spread throughout the universe, and the official Huaguo will definitely send troops here, and after I finish exploring, I can completely wash away all suspicions!" What about the rest of you! A shuttle plane came out, can it escape the pursuit of the Chinese military?! It's Nan Xin—"

Xiao Cheng paused, "Isn't it also because he has illegally hacked into the Chinese government network many times to steal information, and has been listed as a specially wanted criminal!" Do you want to let the old man go?! Or let Fluttershy, the little kid, go?! ”

"I'm not ...... Fluttershy's words are beaten back by Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng's words made everyone instantly silent, and they couldn't refute it.

"Only by going in can you know what the kingdom of Odin is doing! Either way, this quest is imperative! And I am the best person for this operation! ”

After saying it in one breath, Xiao Cheng's face was slightly red and swollen because of his excitement, he breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and continued: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, the people of the Odin God Kingdom can't come over much, with the ultimate speed of the shuttle, I think in the wormhole space, there is no one who can catch me, but don't forget, I won two starship rapid competition championships in the Peerless Domain back then!" It's four years of college, and this technology is no longer unfamiliar! ”

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Cheng looked at the old man firmly: "Grandpa, please allow me to carry out this operation!" I'm an adult! The more experience I have, the more I learn! ”

"Xiao Cheng......" Nan Xin grabbed Xiao Cheng's hands tightly, trembling more and more.

Xiao Cheng hugged her to his chest: "Don't worry, maybe I'll come out in a few hours, even if there is any danger, I can't run away!" Trust me! I promised you to go back with you! ”

"I ...... I believe you ......" Nan Xin's voice was almost inaudible but extremely firm, "I must come back!" I'll wait for you! ”

"Hmmm! Certain! ”

"Ahem!" The bald dragon coughed lightly, "We haven't said yes yet!" When this girl grows up, she really won't have the same heart as her family! ”

"Uncle Long! Am I not my own family! Xiao Cheng immediately glared angrily, Nan Xin had already noticed that something was wrong and broke free from Xiao Cheng's embrace, but he still didn't want to let go of his tightly held hands.

"Go ahead!" The old man slammed his crutches on the ground, "My grandson of Mu Chengfeng should have this responsibility!" I agreed! ”

The old man agreed, Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and although the others had no less worry in their eyes, they no longer objected.

"Grandpa, I promise to complete the task!" Xiao Cheng stood up straight and saluted.

"Poof~Haha! Xiao Chengcheng is quite good this time! Fluttershy is still young, and although she senses the solemnity of the atmosphere and the difficulty of the mission, she still can't really appreciate the danger.

But the laughter like a silver bell still infected everyone, and the atmosphere finally relaxed a little.

"Xiao Chengcheng, since you insist on going, then Lao Han and I still have to explain some things to you......"

Space Hostel, inside the public hall.

Of the eight expedition teams, five of them wisely chose to explore the outside, and only two expedition teams each sent one person to participate in the exploration of the wormhole, and Xiao Cheng naturally said that Xiao Cheng would go to the wormhole to explore alone.

Obviously, even Casares showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't say anything.

The two participants in the exploration of the Ellens are Hu Lai, a retired soldier from the "Beast", and Wu Ming, a professional mecha master from the "Deep", and the two are following Gonzorol to the "Fernan II" to adapt to the mecha.

Due to its own structure and other reasons, the armed mecha cannot be equipped with a miniature jump engine, and the speed is far less than that of the fighter, so it can only carry out conventional maneuvers, and is generally only used as a mission for attacking the opponent's starship from the outside to assault the bridge when the starship is in close combat, or the planetary ground battlefield combat, and is more used for the development, exploration and production of the planet.

At this time, Xiao Cheng was in the Hidden Dragon, adapting to the modified shuttle. The shuttle is the most common means of transportation for short- and medium-distance interstellar travel in the interstellar era, because of its mature technology, low cost, and high safety factor, it is widely popular, but because it is loaded with ultra-micro acceleration engine and jump engine, it cannot withstand the weight of the heavy hull, so it loses the possibility of adding too much armor externally, and in order to maintain a stable output of energy to the engine at any time, it only maintains a minimum energy shield to protect the ship from small objects such as space micrometeorites.

However, this shuttle naturally cannot be compared with the ordinary civilian version of the shuttle on the market, it is modified on the basis of the previous generation of military shuttles in China, not only the exterior is equipped with several pieces of light intelligent reactive armor in key parts, but also a small space probe is installed at the front end of it, which can detect 1. All unnatural energy reactions within the 5AU range, and analyzing the source and location of the energy, there are two small laser cannons with 45mm crystals hidden in the underbelly - crystal laser cannons of this size can't even break the outer shield of the frigate, but it's better than nothing.

The cockpit of the shuttle also needs to be driven on the stomach, but it is more comfortable, and the holographic light screen can be adjusted according to the driver's head as the head shakes, instead of the previous fixed light screen. However, the general maneuvering method allowed him to quickly familiarize himself with the various features of the shuttle, and he immediately connected to the communication channel with the Hidden Dragon.

"This shuttle feels great!" Xiao Cheng said to everyone.

"This is natural, this is the old seven years ago with a smuggler in exchange, has always regarded it as a treasure, and found someone to carry out a modification, I am reluctant to drive a few times, this time the old man personally led the team out, this guy reluctantly contributed, haha." The bald dragon's voice came first.

"There's something wrong over there, even if you abandon the task, you have to go back quickly! Small into success! Old Han hurriedly said.
