Chapter 259: Remnant Soul

A small shuttle slid silently out of the ejection tunnel of the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace, and rushed towards the abandoned resource dump at the end of the space island chain.

Wim opened a "quiet" route for the shuttle in his capacity as regent to ensure that no elves noticed its whereabouts, and he ordered martial law to close several entrances and exits to the abandoned resource dump area, temporarily halting the excavation and recovery of the wreckage of the Rainbow Island, and emptying the entire site to ensure that the rest of the situation would go smoothly.

After a short space voyage, the shuttle arrives at the desolate and dilapidated space junkyard and begins to search for the wreckage of the Isle of Rainbows, guided by the structural drawings provided by Wim.

This garbage dump occupies a large space in the entire island chain, and is closely adjacent to the "Death Land" floating island group, which is full of fragmented floating island wreckage, and from a distance, it feels like an asteroid belt full of Ukiyo, the floating islands of the Death Land are more or less complete, and even there is still the possibility of rescuing them, while the wreckage on this side of the garbage dump is all fragments that have been completely broken and cannot be rescued, and the Elim Elf will recover these accident remnants and squeeze the last bit of resources from the residue - The Isle of Rainbow Light, which was destroyed in a recent explosion, is of course among them.

Mountains of gigantic gray-brown or off-white "stones" floated through the portholes of the shuttles, many of which showed signs of man-made objects: they either had smooth surfaces, or they had remnants of metal covering, or they still had culverts that once housed pipes and equipment. Hao Ren even saw some of the twisted and deformed buildings on the stones, which had been completely torn apart, but could also tell from the huge interior space and heavy partitions that they were once large-scale factory facilities. Wim explained that most of these pieces come from industrial floating islands: they are the most solid of all floating islands, but they are also the most severe when they are scrapped. After the system of the ecological floating island is shut down, it will only slowly lose its vitality and become a place of death. But most of the industrial floating islands were destroyed by the Big Bang, and these thousands of years of equipment have been tinkered with to reach unimaginable limits for earthlings. So much so that the slightest problem is a catastrophic chain accident. Time has dissolved the vaunted civilizational creations of the Elim Elves into bombs, and they have nowhere to escape, but to delay the detonation of these bombs through constant repairs, and those who have not been able to delay - the outside of the ship.

There's something special about the wreckage of space, which are ovoid structures with sleek, bright shells, between one and two kilometers in size, that don't appear to be damaged, and that work around them doesn't look like ordinary digging ships on other debris, but rather smaller, more advanced-looking ships. Hao Ren was curious and inquired before he knew that these things were corona stations.

"Some coronal stations can directly transmit energy from space to the island chain, but the other part of the corona stations used to collect solar wind materials need to return to the island chain to unload, and they are actually a special high-temperature resistant spacecraft," Wim was nervous and depressed by Hilda's state, but still patiently answered the guests' questions, "These spacecraft use special energy cores, which are less stable than other forms of energy cores, and are very radioactive and easy to explode when they enter the standby state, So unload in an area far from the main islands. ”

Vivien wondered, "Why don't you use a small spaceship to transport you back and forth?" ”

"We can't build a little spaceship like that." Wim spread his hands, "Or maybe these corona stations themselves are the kind of 'little ships' you call them, these big guys are the only devices we've built that can resist the sun's forces at close range, they have heavy magical armor and special shield generators. And this requires a large energy core to support, and we can't build a smaller core, and a larger spaceship will consume power exponentially. So the corona station is fixed in this pattern. ”

"Your corona will be popular among low-end civilizations, as long as someone improves their stability." "Maybe we can use these things to bargain with those profiteers who travel long distances." Ask them to send more emergency supplies and so on -- we only talked about floating islands and recycling equipment, but we didn't talk about corona stations, and you're going to need a lot of emergency supplies after the Great Migration. ”

The mention of the Great Migration made Wim feel good again: "Our entire race will always remember this kindness - if the Great Migration comes true, I believe that every Elrim elf and their descendants will be happy to see you as a savior, and we will help you in whatever you want to do in the future." ”

Hao Ren looked at the bat demon and the dog next to him, and then thought about the big and small fish in the family and the mercenary girl who didn't know if she could go home, and thought about how ambitious these strange creatures in her family could be, and then felt that the biggest thing these guys could think of should be to go to eat after Erim moved to a new house......

After passing over these lifeless and unpleasant swarms of debris, the shuttle finally reached a relatively "fresh" piece of gravel and landed on one of the largest broken pumice rocks.

"This is the wreckage of the Isle of Rainbow," Wim said, pointing to the lifeless, dilapidated scene outside the porthole, "This was originally the high ground where the observation tower was located, but after the explosion, only the outer pedestal of the tower remained. As for the core area where the space-time accelerator is located, it has been completely wiped out. Mother was in the tower at the time...... So if the 'remnant soul' you are talking about does exist in zài, then this is the most likely place. ”

Wim can't survive in space, but that's not a problem, the Giant Tortoise Rock Platform is equipped with some emergency equipment, which is made by some private companies in the macro world that specialize in the military command, and is specially prepared for mortal races that cannot move in space, "Emergency Survival Suit", which is a silver-white collar-shaped device (of course, depending on the user's race, it can also be transformed into other styles in the small factory of the spaceship), after wearing, it will scan the user's body and quickly form a shield-like protective layer to isolate the vacuum, Deheating and radiation, as well as creating an air environment that can be used for a long time in the shield, although this device can only survive but enough, plus a simple jet device (also from a very old civilian equipment company in the macro world), he can go out of the cabin with the others.

Due to the nature of the Inquisitor's job, their ship's cargo compartment was filled with bits and pieces for various mortal races from the start, and there was a large number of such production add-ons in the ship's small factory, which would ensure that the Inquisitors could solve some of the smaller mortal matters directly on the spot. Hao Ren felt that the Giant Tortoise Rock was simply a six-hundred-meter-long cat-you can't tell what good things it could pull out of its stomach, and if it didn't count the terminals to help screen it, it was estimated that he would be blindfolded as soon as he entered the warehouse.

Lily and Vivian also took a collar and followed out of the cabin, and Lily also muttered to Hao Ren through the communicator on the guò collar: "I don't like to put this around my neck, it feels weird......"

"It's strange that huskies can like collars," Vivian followed behind Lily, while chanting about the latter's dog attributes, she curiously took off the collar around her neck from time to time, and put it on after experiencing the space environment for a while when she felt uncomfortable, "Uh, it feels so strange in space, my body is numb." ”

"Yes, yes?" Lily also happily tried it, and within a few minutes of taking off the collar, she stuck out her tongue and put it back on, "It's uncomfortable, I can't breathe, my body is still swollen, and my tongue is grunting like water is boiling." ”

The two superwomen's giggling and laughing behavior of experiencing the space environment stunned Wim for a moment, and Hao Ren couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: the number of terminals is really not wrong, although Vivian and Lily have not specifically evolved the physiological structure of space survival, these two girls can live in outer space for a while by relying on their bodies! This is a way to take off your spacesuit and experience nature's death-killing gameplay in space, which is estimated to be something that few people can learn......

Vivien and Lily didn't want to use the jet at first, because they found it ugly to have a stupidly wide belt around their waists, and they felt they had a solution to the problem of moving on the vacuumless pumice: Lily stuck her two paws into the crevices of the rocks, crawling forward like a mountain, and Vivien had even more tricks: she made a large group of small bats to throw out, which was considered a counterforce propulsion...... Anyway, Hao Ren couldn't stand it anymore after watching it for a few minutes, and asked the two living treasure girls to put on the jet belt with a tough attitude: the movement efficiency is still secondary, the main thing is that Vivian throws the bats for a while, and it is estimated that the bats should be anemic, can you believe the anemic vampire?

Hilda was still lying in the medical module, the device that could move independently of the ship, and now it was following the group with its own power. Hao Ren led the team awkwardly through space, eventually approaching the remains of the tower that was all that remained of the pedestal, surrounded by molten marks.

The moment everyone approached, Hao Ren felt some kind of power diffuse from the medical chamber, and then a vague shadow with a shimmering light appeared in front of his vision.

The seed of power left by Raven 12345 in Hilda's body took effect, and Hilda's remaining soul was indeed hovering in this wreckage.

The confused soul stood silently in front of the wreckage of the observation tower, her eyes staring directly at what had once been the space-time accelerator (now it was only empty), unresponsive to the stranger's approach, she seemed to be quite weak, flickering even with Raven-12345's strength, but as 12345 said: it was still too late.

Hao Ren smiled and floated to the soul: "Finally caught up." (To be continued......)
