Chapter 15: The Mystery Box
The military base of Great Xia was not built on any planet, but was hidden in a vast meteorite belt.
From a distance, it looks like a huge meteorite that stretches for hundreds of miles.
Only when you get closer, you can find that there are many obvious artificial traces on the meteorite. For example, there are weathered craters that shimmer with metal, there are things that can be vaguely seen as artificial, and there are footprints that have become fossils.
Everyone looked at the military base through the observation window of the spaceship, so everyone couldn't help but be stupid.
After a short silence, someone muttered with a dull face: "This should be the Tianji Interstellar Base, but why did it become like this!?" ”
"Is there a war?"
"No, if there was a war, the war fortress would not be so well preserved. And if you look at those traces, it's more like they were hit by a meteorite. ”
"Yes, it must have been abandoned and then turned into what it is now. But ....."
Everyone was dazed, looking at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Here, what's going on?
Mo Chen sighed silently, already understanding what was going on here.
The speed of time in Great Xia obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. For them, the Chaos Galaxy had only passed for three years, but for Great Xia, it was no longer known how much time had passed.
Six's expression changed and he didn't say anything.
She put on her mech and flew out of the ship, heading for the base that had long since been reduced to ruins.
Someone wanted to stop it, but Mo Chen said, "Let her go." ”
When everyone heard this, no one spoke, but looked at No. 6 who walked into the depths of the base with a complicated expression.
At this moment, they mostly feel overwhelmed.
The ecstasy of returning to his hometown was completely extinguished by the ruins in front of him.
The Tianji Interstellar Base is one of the most important military bases in Great Xia, and it will not give up easily unless it encounters an irreparable disaster.
Who knows what has happened in Great Xia now, and doesn't even know if it still exists?
The six-th mecha is a high-level battle armor produced in Great Xia, and it can be unhindered even in the ruined base. She walked through the dusty passages that had even condensed into the rocks, her eyes heavy and complicated.
In fact, long before coming to the base, Six already had an ominous premonition.
Because she used a special channel, she didn't have a signal to search for the Tianji Interstellar Base at all. For one of the most important military bases in Great Bactria, it was impossible to completely cut off the signal even during the war. Unless there's a devastating disaster on the base, enough to destroy everything.
And that's exactly what happened, even more than Six's prediction. She never imagined that the Tianji Interstellar Base would be so dilapidated.
Of course, although the base is dilapidated, it is not that there is no information left.
Every military base in Great Xia, and even warships, will install some hidden mysterious boxes.
The sole purpose of these mysterious boxes is to keep track of what happens on the base. Even if the base is abandoned, or destroyed by war, most of the mystery boxes remain. However, the location of the mysterious box is highly classified, and only the senior officers of Great Xia can know about it.
And the number six, which happens to fall into this category.
She navigated the dimly lit passages and eventually collected six mysterious crates.
The mysterious box is about the size of a palm, like a silver-white ball for decoration. The high-strength alloy used for its outer shell will not decay even if it is placed in the natural environment for tens of thousands of years. It is more robust than any currently known object, and is sufficient to survive the explosion of planetary destruction.
But even so, there are still three mysterious boxes that are obviously damaged. As for the remaining three, they have already run out of energy, and they don't even know if they are of any use.
When Six returned to the ship, there was silence.
Facing everyone's gaze, Number Six calmly ordered: "Continue to advance into the depths of the Great Xia Empire, and try to contact the Empire." ”
"Yes."
When everyone heard this, although they no longer had hope in their hearts, they still had a little meager expectation and said firmly.
After No. 6 finished speaking, he ignored everyone, looked sideways at Mo Chen, and said with an indifferent expression: "You come with me." ”
Mo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not refuse No. 6's invitation. He followed him closely, towards Six's room. When the two disappeared into the cabin one after another, the originally dead cabin suddenly sounded a whistle.
But when I saw the people who were still with heavy faces before, they looked like they were watching a good show at this time.
"Tsk, lonely men and widows are in the same room, boss, this is Sichun, right?"
"Phew, what nonsense, boss, you can call Sichun. This is a talented woman, a natural pair. ”
"Don't say it, what is the origin of this surname Mo, I always feel that this person is very mysterious. And I've heard that this person can block the spatial blade of our heads with just one finger. ”
"Hey, just kidding. The Space Blade is the strongest individual combat weapon in Great Xia, and even the shields of high-level starships can be easily torn apart. One finger, you think it's a myth! ”
"Shhhhhhh It's hard to say, you don't know......"
While everyone was talking and laughing, the heavy atmosphere dissipated unconsciously.
And Mo Chen, who had already entered the room, did not pursue it even though he heard the words outside. He walked into the room and surveyed his surroundings.
The rooms are simply furnished, and in addition to the necessary living facilities, the largest area is the exercise room. There are all kinds of exercise equipment in it, and it is not a girl's boudoir at all.
No. 6 entered the room, took out three mysterious boxes, and said in a complicated voice: "If we can decipher the information in the mysterious box, we can know what happened to the Tianji Interstellar Base in the first place." ”
Mo Chen looked at the three mysterious boxes that were full of simplicity and even slightly damaged, and he didn't have much hope in his heart.
He said directly: "Are you sure this thing is still useful?" ”
"Perhaps." Six casually coped, pulled out the universal toolbox, and began to repair the mysterious box.
Hard work pays off.
After two hours of hard work, two mysterious boxes were repaired and the information contained was activated.
No. 6 and Mo Chen stood together, looking at the two mysterious boxes on the table that flickered faintly and fluoresced, like candles in the wind, but fell silent.
Although she wanted to know the truth, when the truth was about to be revealed, Six began to hesitate instead.
What if it's the last thing you want?
Mo Chen didn't urge, silently waiting for No. 6's decision.
Because he knows that Six will eventually choose to uncover the answer to his question. And it was just as he had guessed, and after a brief hesitation, Six reached for the mysterious box on the table with a determined face.
