Chapter 560: The Pyramid

"Whoa......" Lee moved his body quickly while raising the muzzle of the electromagnetic rifle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The next moment, a black silk thread with a diameter of 0.5 cm interwoven from carbon nanotube fibers was thrown out of the grenade launch guide under the electromagnetic rifle. An arrow with a hook on the tip pierced a stone pillar not far away, peeling away layers of dust and finally penetrating into the core of the stone pillar. The fibers began to shrink, and by the way, the salary increase of Lee, who had fallen into a deep pit, was pulled up from below.

The city is like a dry swamp, filled with countless sand caves of varying shades. The smooth road surface has long been weathered into white fine sand, and the sand holes hidden under these white sand roads are very unstable, and they will collapse after being affected by gravity, and the surrounding quicksand will swell down along the sunken sand holes, or it won't be long before the people who fall into the sand holes will be buried alive, and it is difficult to say when they will be able to be picked up by their comrades. The longest record was when an unlucky guy fell directly into a pit fifty meters underground, and it took nearly half an hour for everyone to dig out the unlucky guy. Also because of that unlucky bastard, Lee's cowhide for two hours to return to the fleet for dinner was ruthlessly broken.

"Bah, bah, ......" Li raised his salary and spit out the grit in his mouth with difficulty, although the alloy armor closed at the first time of falling, but there was still a lot of sand into Li Qiang's mouth. Along the way, the last record of more than 100 people in the entire team who did not eat sand was also broken with the fall of Li Qiang.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please reply if you receive it, finish" During the routine call every thirty minutes, Fang Xiaolian's voice came.

"Roger, done!" Li responded while searching around more carefully.

"How's the mission going?" The fleet was far away from the high-altitude orbit of the sand ball, and it was not very clear what was going on on the planet. The planet seems to reject everything that uses energy crystals, and even quantum communication is greatly limited. At present, it is unbelievable that the communication between Lee and the fleet is actually through the radio. What's even more tragic is that there will be a communication delay of three to four seconds per call, which directly makes Li want to cry without tears.

"The mission is progressing well, no dangerous creatures have been found, and not even microbes have been found on the entire planet. However, there are many traps, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a bottomless hole, which is very troublesome. However, we are not far from the source, fifteen minutes at most. What about the other groups? Li replied as he asked about the progress of the other investigation teams.

"It's progressing well, and some of them have already completed their investigations. However, all the landing ships have crashed, and we can't dispatch new landing ships to land until the source of interference is destroyed, and we are waiting for you. By the way, there is information from the command center of the formation, other teams have encountered danger while exploring other living planets, and there have been a lot of casualties, so you must pay attention to safety" Fang Xiaolian kindly reminded.

While Fang Xiaolian was speaking, some images from the command center were playing in the battleship. The footage was recorded 23-50 hours before standard time, and was transmitted from more than a dozen reconnaissance fleets. The images range from oceanic planets as far as the eye can see, to super-Earths covered with forests, to tundra, so harsh that they are almost off-limits to life.

However, on these planets, all the scouting teams have been attacked. Some were entangled by strange creatures that were half-plant, half-animal and then spewed out corrosive liquids to devour, some were attacked by strange sea life, and some were attacked without knowing who the attacker was. These planets were all in danger, and the sand balls in front of her were abnormal compared to those places, which made Fang Xiaolian very worried about the situation of the people below.

"Understood!" Hearing Fang Xiaolian's reminder, Li had to pay attention to it, and ordered everyone to open the detection module on the alloy battle armor, and the search became more serious. The surrounding scene is the same as ever, the white stone used to frame the city has become mottled by weathering, and it does not look like a sign of human existence. Moreover, the architectural style of the city also lacks the steel atmosphere of a technological city, but it is somewhat similar to the ancient city, and it is more similar if you add a circle of walls.

Soon, the group walked through the ruins of dilapidated buildings and finally arrived at the location of the signal source. It is a pyramid-shaped building, between 50 and 70 meters high, with a platform at the top of the pyramid and a very flat space above. The pyramid is very empty around it, with an area of more than 100,000 square meters, and it should be the central square of the city. But now everything is covered with gravel, and even the steps of the pyramid have been piled up as quicksand at the bottom of the pyramid.

"Battalion commander, the signal source has been locked" The team dispersed to reconnoitre, and soon found the location of the signal source at the bottom of the pyramid. Pushing aside the fine sand flow, a dark corridor appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this passage leads to the depths of the pyramid, the rock inside is still very solid, and the inside of the passage looks very solid.

Leaving seven teams to search outward with the pyramid as the origin, Li Jiaxin personally led the three teams to search the depths of the passage. The white light illuminated the passage with a diameter of no more than five meters, and there was nothing on the smooth white stone wall, which looked like a natural cave, but when Li Jiaxin slid along the wall with the dagger he was carrying, he found that the super-oscillating alloy dagger that cut metal like cutting tofu could only leave a shallow white scratch on the wall with all his strength.

"This building material is definitely much more powerful than steel, I really don't know what composition it is made of, remember to bring some samples when you go" Li put away the dagger and ordered a team leader behind him. This material definitely has merit, but non-metallic materials have properties that exceed those of most metals, and they are flooded to the extent of building houses, and the sources are also very rich. If the Golden Crow Fleet can master it, it will definitely save a lot of construction costs.

"How many years would it take to complete such a sturdy material to turn into white gravel on a sand ball that is severely starved of water," muttered the team leader as he motioned for the two team members to stay and dig into the wall.

After ten minutes of turning around the inside of the pyramid along the passage, the whole team finally came down in a place with an area of more than 200 square meters at the core of the pyramid. The space is very empty, except for the very center of the platform, which is made of white rock. The platform is concave into a bowl, and at the bottom of the bowl is a metal cage, and streams of light flow upwards from the metal strips on the edge of the cage, like neon lights.

The streamers rushed from the bottom into the top of the metal cage, then turned into waves and spread out in all directions. The space inside the pyramid is like a huge resonance module, magnifying these fluctuations geometrically, and eventually spreading to the entire planet, and even affecting the high-altitude orbital space of 100,000 kilometers away from the planet.

"How do you turn this thing off?" Li Jiaxin kept circling around the metal cage, feeling like he didn't know where to start.

"Why don't you just bring it up?" The people around me put forward their opinions.

"Release the robot and give it a try" Li was a little moved by the salary increase. Soon, a bionic robot was released. Under the control of a semi-intelligent assistant program, the robot, which is made of more than 80% of its composite materials, slowly approached the metal cage with both hands, but the moment it grabbed the metal cage, it vaporized more than half, scaring everyone away from afar.

"Five million amps! Even the air around it penetrates! "Lee's salary increase is a little palpitating. At that moment, the high temperature directly exceeded more than 100 million degrees, which is much higher than the inside of a nuclear fusion reactor. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was far away and hid quickly, I am afraid that they would all be electrocuted to ashes at that moment. The alloy armor on everyone's body is definitely a lightning rod-like lightning guide.

"Strange civilization, any asteroid belt in the galaxy outside can dig up high-grade energy crystals, and the energy they use is still backward electricity" The team members around them felt very incredible. The electronic instruments of the interstellar age have become very unstable due to the interference of various rays that are ubiquitous in the universe, so most of them have been replaced by energy crystals with stronger resistance to interference. The other party did the opposite, and the driving energy of the device that can block the space is actually electricity! How terrifying is the power used to activate the space anchor! It's unimaginable!

"Maybe they're not using electricity, and it's possible that the discharge is just the result of the energy coming out of it breaking through the air. 007, do you have any suggestions for the device in front of you? "Lee's salary increase turned to the semi-intelligent assistant program for help.

"The other party is powered by super energy, and there is no way to control the flow of energy and valves, so the fastest way at present is to destroy a map. Use the Murray Crystal Bomb to destroy the entire pyramid along with the metal cage, and everything will cease to exist" 007's suggestion left Lee dumbfounded.

"The power of such a powerful energy explosion is terrifying, and the continuous explosion of dozens of hydrogen bombs is not less than that, I am afraid that there will not be even sand left for dozens of kilometers around the explosion! And the Mori crystal is also an energy crystal, so it can't be blown up here at all" Li Jiaxin shook his head.

"Contact the fleet in the air, and use the shipborne electromagnetic cannon above the frigate for orbital bombardment" 007 quickly proposed an alternative.

"You said it wouldn't be feasible to just destroy the divergent device at the top of the cage," Li asked, staring at the spires of the cages that were pouring into the Ambilight.

“…… You can try! There is a 30% chance of an explosion, a 20% success rate, and a 50% chance of no damage at all" 007 began to calculate the success rate.

"Then give it a try, the one who, left an automatic alert machine gun ready to destroy the operation, and everyone is all away from the pyramid. If this doesn't work anymore, call for orbital bombing," Li quickly made arrangements, and a vigilance machine gun was left in the pyramid. These alert machine guns are fully automated, controlled by a small computer, and are mainly responsible for the security of the makeshift camp. It is now programmed by Lee to destroy the metal cage in the pyramid.

"Boom! ......" A violent explosion accompanied by a terrifying vibration came out of the pyramid, and the terrifying air flow formed a terrifying sandstorm along the passage directly near the pyramid, and the flying sand and dust obscured the realization, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

"Fleet, has the space blockade been lifted?" Far away from the sandstorm, Lee began to contact the fleet in space. If the metal cage inside had been destroyed, the fleet would have detected the change in the spatial coefficient long ago.

“…… No! It's still the same as before."

"Listen, let's get out of the city now, and when we reach a safe distance, we can use the electromagnetic cannon to carry out orbital bombardment, and now transmit the space anchor coordinates, please pay attention to check!" While leading people back the same way, Li Jiaxin transmitted the specific location of the space anchor to the fleet command center.

"Can't you close the site?" Fang Xiaolian asked in some surprise.

"It's hard! The energy spar bomb is not used here, and the power of the plasma bomb is probably not enough, and we don't have nuclear weapons! Moreover, the energy supply of the space anchor is actually electricity, and if that thing is not careful, it will form a plasma explosion, and everyone will be burned to ashes at that time," Li explained. The order from the command center of the Golden Crow Fleet was to bring back the samples of the space anchor, but in a short period of time, Li could not find a way, so he could only use violence to destroy this way.

"Well, you guys get out of the pyramid for 200 kilometers first, and then the destroyer will be in orbit...... Wait, the spatial coefficients are starting to fluctuate, there's a change! Fang Xiaolian's voice was full of surprise.

“…… Bright...... White ......" Lee's salary increase began to be transmitted intermittently.

"Commander, open the sand ball!" In the fleet command center, Fang Xiaolian's adjutant pointed to the surveillance video on the holographic projection with a shocked expression.

"Huh??"

"City! The city is flying! I saw a thick cloud of smoke and dust fill the air, and in the violent shaking of the earth, a white city emerged from the ruins. (To be continued.) )
