Citadel.

In his secluded room, the main god "Catalyst" sat somewhat lonely in front of the large screen, which was flickering at a rapid rate. Constantly switching the real pictures of the major star fields of the Milky Way, not letting go of any corner. The Citadel Space Station has a complete detection system, which can monitor 96% of the repeater star fields in the entire galaxy, and 72% of the star fields that civilizations cannot set foot in temporarily.

And the Catalyst's divine consciousness can cover almost all the dark star fields that the Divine Citadel cannot detect. But he never saw the expected target, the Dawn...... It disappeared completely!

This is different from the last time Lu Yuan disappeared from the online world, Lu Yuan, which only means that the catalyst can no longer grasp Lu Yuan's whereabouts and lose points in intelligence gathering. But this time, a spaceship as huge as the Dawn could go missing? Unless she leaves the galaxy!

Dawn's withdrawal from the Spear System did not come as Catalyst expected. After all, when one of the twin blue giants suddenly increased its brightness by two magnitudes, it became one of the brightest stars in the entire Milky Way; And when another blue giant star suddenly disappeared – an astronomical phenomenon that is sure to spark the interest of civilizations across the galaxy – both professional observatories and amateurs turned their telescopes to this field.

Now on the news, the hottest ones are "Citadel Attacked by Jace's Fleet" and "The Mystery of the Disappearance of the Double Blue Giant", which occupy major pages respectively. Aside from the overwhelming news about the Citadel, which appeared on none of the media terminals, the Spear Star Field now has that peculiar white swirl photo. It also occupies every corner of the media terminal. As long as you live in the Milky Way, it's impossible not to know. Even the catalyst is polluted by all kinds of news all day long, and ordinary people simply can't hide.

Therefore. Active and passive, when all galactic creatures are attracted to the Lance Galaxy, Dawn's withdrawal from the Lance Galaxy is inevitable...... If they don't want to be exposed to the whole galaxy. But now they're all of a sudden!

After the hundredth search and no shadow of the Dawn was found, "Catalyst" finally grabbed something and threw it on the big screen in a nutshell!

"Xing Yan, you ......" Halfway through speaking, the catalyst stopped.

Because he remembered that Xing Yan had also left, he was now alone......

After a moment of silence, the "catalyst" switches the screen to another part. Begin to look closely at other intelligence—human beings, the battle for seats in parliament; Shepard saves the Citadel and becomes a hero in the news; Due to unauthorized research on the Krogan virus gene. Cerberus was declared persona non grata by a combination of Turian and Celarius...... But this information, which he used to pay great attention to, now does not arouse the slightest interest in him......

The catalyst turned off the big screen and all the lights in the room and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. A few days ago, the fiercest war in the entire galaxy broke out here. Reaper, Citadel Resident, Fifth Fleet of the Star Federation, Black Jath, Quali Immigration Fleet, Cerberus...... Countless forces are fighting here to forget their lives and deaths! That moment. The Citadel shines with a light that no one can match. Now that the war has passed, all that remains at night is the endless lights of the city that stretch into the distance.

Looking down at the bustling scene, in the empty room, the shadow of the catalyst seemed extremely lonely.

*****

Let's not talk about the "catalyst" that finally understands the importance of good friends in the face of a boring world.

Let's turn the time scale back a little bit to the moment when the Dawn had just ended.

Although the war had just ended, after giving the crew an 8-hour rest, the massive Mothership Dawn was set in motion again. She sailed away from the non-existent Lagrange Point and headed for the battlefield. Various small aircraft, heavy armor (with the ability to work in outer space), ...... Even unfinished, cockpit-only mechs and so on. All the equipment that could go into outer space swarmed out of the Dawn and flew first into the wreckage-strewn battlefield.

Facing the wreckage of the battleship whose internal fusion reaction has not yet ended. They dropped the freeze bomb on the still burning hull to cool it down, and then dragged the chunks of metal to the Motherlight Dawn. The subsequent decomposition and disposal work will be handed over to the maintenance of the Spider Sea. Whether it's the corpse of an Overlord-class Reaper or a thigh of a heavy mech, it's the object of the crew's collection - the Dawn is really scared by the lack of resources, and now it will not let go of any wreckage that is more than a cubit in size!

As for the fragments under a cubit, they will be collected by means of a wide range of electromagnetic fields. In short, this time there will be three feet to the ground, except for those battleships that crashed in the blue giant, not the slightest wreckage will be spared!

In the blink of an eye, the entire star field was full of ants moving.

Dawn's repeater was activated again. The starry sky flickered, and as the teleportation ended, the Matrix transports 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 returned to the vicinity of the Dawn. These transports are exactly the same size as the original "Matrix", all of which are huge ships 15 kilometers long, 4 kilometers wide, and 2.5 kilometers high - these transports have tens of thousands of intelligent warehouses inside, which can transport materials to rebuild several Dawn Motherships at once!

They were the battlefield sweeper storage ships that the Dawn had prepared in advance.

After leaving the Lance Field, the ships didn't go too far, anchored near a forgotten secondary repeater near the field. As soon as the war is over, these ships will return and clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible through the channel established by the secondary repeater and the Dawn. In other words, the Dawn had a complete plan to clean up the battlefield from the very beginning, and the Dawn Regiment never feared defeat......

The Matrix is rectangular in shape to ensure a large volume and facilitate "stacking" if necessary, but their internal structure is not the same. The sweeper can open all six doors and even split left and right in the middle to ensure the smooth flow of transportation. As the ship arrived, they unleashed millions of maintenance spiders and flocked to the wreckage of the battleship piled up near the Dawn.

The first to be dismantled were the Lightning Strike Fleet and the fragments of the Heavy Mech, as they used the same materials as the Dawn's general materials. After being disassembled, more mechanical spiders were created, and the number soon exceeded the 10 billion mark. Then these mechanical spiders began to flock to the "harder to gnaw" synthetic material battleships......

The Mothership of Dawn sits in the center and widens the "Negative Energy Defense" barrier, protecting the crew working on the side of the ship from the Nethersea energy. Then the Dawn began to "light up" in a flashing way—it was a zero-ring magic created by Lu Yuan.

Do you still remember what Lu Yuan did when he was also in the Spear System to save the "Courage" cargo ship? He used a little magic to restrain Element Zero in space. These zero elements were then used to form a weight-shedding array, and even a massive repeater was sent back to Dawn.

Now, after the Great War, there is a huge amount of Zero Element scattered in the graveyard where 22,000 Reaper warships were buried here! The wreckage is good to say, and the adhesion of the metal makes most of them join together even if they are torn apart. Fragments can also be easily collected by electromagnetic and gravitational fields. However, Element Zero is different in that they are very stable and can still exist as a single element at extremely high temperatures when the ship's core self-destructs. However, when the confined field outside the Mass Effect core collapses, element zero tends to spread evenly.

Now Dawn is to wrap these zero elements scattered in the dark universe into "balls of light" one by one, and then be plucked off by special mechanical spiders......

"War is the chorus of cannons, war is the jingle of gold coins......" Yakumo ran across the bridge humming a song. She was holding a large stack of electronic boards, and she was still jumping and jumping when she walked. Anyone can tell from her wagging nine large tails how happy the heart of a fox-like god is.

The song she sings is a song composed by Misaka Meizi - "Zhu Jun, I like war!" It is said that it has spread widely and has a tendency to become a new generation of military songs.

"Why is she so happy?" Seeing that Yakumo Lan was almost rushing and broke into Yakumo Zi's office, Nan Lixiang, who had just been arrested by Zhao Min, was very puzzled. In order to reconcile the "contradictions" between Nan Lixiang, Poison Island and Lao Jia, Zhao Min had to temporarily assign these striking people to his direct command, and Nan Lixiang and Yanzi became her temporary assistants.

"Because the harvest is huge!" Zhao Min is also happy. She casually pulled a virtual screen over to Nan Lixiang and the two of them. But the ever-changing number shown on it only made them dizzy. Seeing that the eyes of the two people were about to turn into mosquito coils, Zhao Min smiled and explained, "This is our zero element reserve...... We've collected 140,000,000,000 units of Element Zero so far! Do you know how much that is? ”

Minami Rika shook her head together with Poison Island.

"It's the sum of all the zero elements of the three races of the council! And that's just the beginning...... God knows how many Element Zero those Reapers robbed! Speaking of this data, Zhao Min himself is as refreshing as drinking mung bean soup on a dog day, and he feels happy in his heart! This war is really worth it! As long as this harvest can be secured, Dawn will unilaterally possess war potential for the first time!

"By the way, hasn't Yakumo Blue always disliked the Dawn? Why is she so happy? Tsuneko suddenly remembered that Yakumo Lan's look of turning her head and making a disdain when she saw everything was very famous on the ship.

"She's a fox girl." Nan Lixiang complained, "Aren't fox girls all tsundere?" (To be continued......)
