As Lady Dawn said, "It is not good to feel that the silence of the enemy is always felt." ”

The Mona had never appeared before, and the Mothership Dawn had completed the recovery of the second test ship while trying to open the door to the world. Although one of the main guns of the No. 2 ship has melted down - due to the difficulty of heat dissipation in the universe, the broken barrel melts itself into a blazing white metal solution and floats on the battlefield - the No. 2 ship itself still has great recovery value.

Not to mention the most valuable test number, with this as a basis, the Dawn was able to design a better main gun. In addition to that, even the unfired barrel is also a top priority.

Lu Yuan's plan is to dismantle the entire barrel several kilometers long and place it as an advertisement on the "Gagarin" space station! Presumably, as soon as this great artifact comes out, it will inevitably attract the attention of the whole world, and then the entire navy will go crazy for it! This cannon has the charm of completely attracting the eyeballs - whether it is the old man Hackett or Lieutenant General Yang, they will try their best to install this cannon on their flagship!

Check it out! - Simple, brutal, powerful, this is simply what the Navy has always wanted! They will submit countless budgets for this until they drive parliament crazy. As for the tactics of aircraft carriers and small fighters, at present, it seems that the tactics of small fighters will not see the light of day in the face of high-precision and high-frequency laser defense weapons. Today, in the navy, more than half of them are supporters of the doctrine of heavy artillery and giant ships.

However, just when the dawn was thinking that the next thing would be a smooth order, the mothership suddenly detected a group of extremely massive objects. It's fast approaching!

Thanks to the long-term deception of the Mona's "canopy" system, the humans of the 26th century do not trust the eyes at all, and they have made great progress in quality detection. When the overall quality exceeds a certain limit. It's hard to escape Dawn's gravitational radar. Monas don't have Mass Effect technology, they can hide light, heat, and radiation, but they can't change their own mass. Therefore, when the massive artificial object approached, it was immediately discovered by Dawn in advance!

In times of crisis, I can no longer care about doing things step by step. When Lu Yuan cut the gap in the wall of the world, Alona flew up with a small foot and kicked the door of the world directly! Then Ms. Dawn did it with all her might. The Mass Effect core erupts with peak kilometers, reducing the mothership to its lightest state.

Immediately, Yakumo Zi tore open a gap of ultimate size and teleported the Dawn Mothership away in an instant!

Almost at the moment when the mothership disappeared. A jagged orange-red light knife burst out from the still dark universe, and swept over the location of the Dawn! And at this time, that massive object was even out of view......

For the first time. Dawn used quantum communication to play a trick on the Mona. And then suddenly disappeared. During that contact, the Mona lost a "Bishop" (and a shield generator, in fact); The second time, twenty years later, the long-missing Dawn reappeared! This time, not only did the Dawn change its appearance, but it also had a battleship! This time, the Mona lost three cruisers and one sleeper, and even took the lives of dozens of upper-class people!

After the battleships were destroyed one after another, the Mona people were completely furious! Their attitude towards the Dawn has changed dramatically. From the original captive Dawn to a direct destruction!

Although at this moment, the Dawn is "missing" again. But the Mona have decided to take it seriously! First of all, those who caused two mistakes in a row, the defeated were put to death, and those who failed in their duties were held accountable. Then the Mona people activated the war plane prepared for the "third meeting".

Just after the Mothership of Dawn disappeared, an incomparably large fleet of Mona people entered the galaxy of wandering stars! First two dozen ten-kilometer-long cruisers sailed in, and then two thirty-kilometer huge dreadnought-class warships that looked somewhat similar to the Dawn! But that wasn't the end of the story—a few hours later, an artificial celestial body with a smooth semicircular metal sphere at the top and a city growing upside down with its bottom half, overgrown with metal edifices and perfect transportation measures, joined the fleet.

With a diameter of more than 800 kilometers (a quarter of the moon), this celestial body is not a fortress or a super planetary-class battleship! Just sailed into the wandering galaxy!

The Mona didn't focus on finding the Mothership Dawn. Their planetary warship docked directly into the orbit of a wandering star, becoming its first artificial planet. Immediately, the two Dreadnoughts, each leading a dozen cruisers, began to patrol around the galaxy and rearrange the network of probes; Then, countless construction machines flew out of the planetary fortress and began to collect cosmic materials and build a satellite-level platform on the periphery of the planetary fortress...... In the future, there will be several agricultural gardens and a large number of satellite batteries!

It is clear that the Mona are ready to transform it into an advance base based on the fortress. This is a silent demonstration of the determination of the Monase - it doesn't matter whether the Dawn is gone or invisible - the next time she appears, it will be the moment when she is completely destroyed!

The entire front end of the Orion cantilever is the back garden of the Mona, who can allow the Dawn to "sail freely" under their control. But when the Dawn lost control and moved in a way they couldn't understand, the Mona couldn't stand it anymore, and the Dawn haunted their backyard at will!

Several small engineering ships recovered the wreckage of the Daystar One for analysis. Dawn also gave them a lot of questions - what was the technology that kept Dawn "invisible" for decades? What's going on with the massive tear crevices that finally appeared? And that kind of electromagnetic cannon that is unimaginably powerful...... Under the same conditions, the electromagnetic cannon made by the Mona people could only reach a quarter of that power.

Then the Mona people also used holograms to directly reconstruct the entire battlefield in the universe based on information such as heat and radiation remaining on the battlefield.

From tactics to equipment, they have begun to rebuild the baseline of the Dawn as a new race separate from the earthlings. Get the full picture.

……

More than a dozen dimensional gaps that were torn apart by magic and kept fixed were scattered in this cosmic space. In each dimensional crevice, there is a panoramic camera and a passive information collection device. A qiē that happened was recorded in silence and passed back to the mothership Dawn.

This war has only just begun, and it is far from the moment when it will be decided.

*****

"Spread your spiral arms!"

With Yakumo's command, the dome's six huge solar panels stretched out like arms. After the transformation, the spiral arms with increased strength are all closed and deployed. It can all be done in under two hours - it would have taken a whole week. With the boom fully extended, the maximum diameter of the Dawn will be extended to 151.75 kilometers. The appearance has also changed from a flying saucer to a shield with a sharp axe blade on the outer edge.

And it has such a huge surface area. This is a body type that is not so easy to overlook, even in the context of a blue giant.

The mothership Dawn's attitude has shifted to a sidespin state. Although the materials of the hull are now updated, it is fully able to withstand the radiation test of the blue giant star at a very close distance. But all things considered, especially long-term exposure to high-intensity radiation. caused by the aging of the material. Or face the rotorcraft with an order of magnitude higher facing the blue giant. It's safer to keep the hull in the shadows.

"Great! Guess what I saw?! Lady Dawn's shout of delight echoed throughout the mothership. Once we get to L3, Dawn will be fully charged and will only take 2,000 hours! "When the rotors deployed, the reserve power of the Dawn, and the energy storage of the magic tower, began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"It's a long time...... It took more than half a year. Hearing the "bad" news, Nana fell on the bed weakly. She's technologically blind. I didn't realize it was good news! Couldn't be better than that!

If you're still in the Overworld, Dawn wants to rely on wandering stars to recharge. The time it takes is one hundred and four years! Otherwise, the pilots would not have simply decided to turn off the aircraft and go into hibernation to survive the long years - as a result, Nana had to summon an unreliable guy to make a last-ditch effort to save the Dawn......

Now with the superposition of the radiation of the twin blue giants, the energy problem that once plagued Dawn only needs another 2,000 hours to solve......

……

"Quantum communication test! 3，2，1…… Hello, this is the Dawn. Echo cried.

Along the horizontal axis, Dawn has set up a quantum antenna of 150 kilometers on its spiral arm. This antenna and the longitudinal axis of the main cannon will form a large cross-shaped structure in the future - theoretically, this antenna will be able to ensure the transmission of quantum communication to any corner of the galaxy.

A few people sat around the couch on the 33rd floor, nervously looking at the large screen in front of them, which was still a large field of snowflakes and electromagnetic interference lines. "Hello, this is Li ......" Ke Xue was just halfway through her speech, when suddenly a picture appeared on the screen! Lu Yuan's face occupies most of the screen, and the background seems to be a chaotic bar.

"Hello, Dawn! This is Lu Yuan. Master Lu gestured with scissor hands, and then like a tour guide, he turned the universal tool around so that the people on the Dawn could see the bar, "Hmm...... This is a bar outside the N7 training base in Rio de Janeiro, South America. We saw that the setting was completely South American ......"

"Hey, Lu!" Ke Xue directly interrupted his introduction, "There's a big beauty behind you!" ”

"Huh? Where is it? When Lu Yuan turned his head to look, Ke Xue directly closed the communication with a smile! Because the main equipment is completely on the side of the Dawn, even the ordinary communication end requires dozens of tons of equipment, which can only be installed on the spacecraft. If it is a "wizard-type" universal tool, it can only initiate a single-bit communication request, and then the Dawn will take the initiative to establish a communication channel to communicate.

Now Ke Xue completely ignored Lu Yuan's call...... There was nothing he could do.

The Dawn Regiment finally has its own communication system outside of the buoy network. The system's quantum communications are unrelated to any existing network and cannot be intercepted, so Dawn no longer has to worry about communication leaks.

"Hello, Phantom Man......" Zhao Min took the communicator and began to harass the next target. Looking at the big boss of Cerberus, the "Phantom Man", who appeared on the screen, his helpless look, Zhao Min smiled and said his purpose, "Maybe you can help get some Reaper things?" ”

……

"Gravitational ...... Lens? What is this? Yakumo Zi looked at the debugging list in her hand, although she was the chief engineer of the project, it was because Yakumo Zi had strong management and coordination skills, and not all projects she could figure out.

"It's a new detection device that we added when we renovated Dawn." Mu Xing's explanation was clearly conveyed through the guò communicator. "Using gravitational changes in nearby celestial bodies, we can form a telescope to observe targets thousands of light-years away. Now we have twin blue giants, and that would be the perfect lens. Let's take a look at ...... in turn."

"Citadel". A picture of a huge artificial celestial body in the shape of a flower petal, suspended on the deck.

"The Curtain of Perseus". It was an impenetrable, dense nebula, and geth hid behind it.

"Earth ......"

A blue planet that instantly occupies everyone's field of vision.

PS: The gravitational lens mentioned here is slightly different from the gravitational lens currently used in the sky, which belongs to a good expectation. I love these things...... (To be continued......)
