Dense air mass inside the conversation, a brief exchange of electric flint.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

【Warning! Warn! The main body shell is badly damaged! The emergency response plan is being activated. 】

【The energy center is failing...... Emergency repairs, backup equipment all activated. 】

[Manipulator damage statistics...... The main control room was not damaged, and the number of injuries was none. 】

[Network communication equipment is further destroyed, and superior debris cannot be contacted.] 】

A large amount of information was intertwined in the purple mist, and an unknown dense gas almost completely filled the enclosed space, like a cloud of mist swirling between many strange protruding crystals. These terrifyingly high concentrations of highly toxic gas molecules are in a continuous high-frequency radiation environment, excited and flickering with a faint light, seemingly irregular, but also seem to follow a certain principle in the dark, and seem to be full of mystery.

Suddenly, a beam of radiant particles emitting violent energy fluctuations flashed by, containing a large amount of broken information, and shot straight into the depths of the gas cloud, and soon, a highly focused laser was launched from the place where the particle beam entered, penetrating this dense gas that ordinary light could not penetrate at all, and directly bombarded the top of a protruding crystal spike between the gaps in the air mass.

[Receive information, manipulator command: Abandon all appearance camouflage operations, deflect the shield into maximum power operation mode.] 】

The whole space began to vibrate slightly, and you could even feel the sound of many huge objects moving around you, and at this time, a faint vibration suddenly appeared in the air mass, which was completely different from the vibration that reverberated in the room as a whole, and transmitted a regular message.

[What's next?] We are clearly completely exposed. ]

Large expanses of clouds suddenly calmed down, and it seemed that after a moment of silence, another tremor reappeared, conveying a decisive decision: [The direction of the thrusters remains the same as the original voyage, and we continue to move forward.] ]

[The target has confirmed the existence of civilization, and it is clear from the previous space jumps that the strength is not small, so it is too risky to do so.] The third consciousness, however, hesitated for a moment and then offered a different view.

[…… Yes, but we have no other choice. The previous consciousness sent out a series of messages again, [If you could have taken the initiative to give up this star system and leave, now that the main body of civilization fragments has been damaged to such a serious extent, we can only fight, otherwise do you still expect to continue to cross the starry sky with this kind of mutilation?] ]

[Unfortunately, the communication system was broken down early on, along with the coordinate recording equipment.] The second consciousness seems to be intended to indicate the depression of the heart, and even the vibration has become unusually slow, [the three of us have been unable to contact the main body of civilization, and we have no way to go back, and we can only survive in this form for a long time. ]

Yes, there are only three manipulators in this spherical space city...... Or at least now there are only three left.

[If you succeed in seizing the planet's abundant resources, you may be able to recover it, and you know how wonderful that place is in terms of energy levels and environmental indicators.] A very tempting. The other two consciousnesses were also moved by the suggestion of the bewitching force, [even if they didn't find a way to recover, it would be countless times better to live in such a wonderful place than to wander in the starry sky.] ]

[Hmph, do you really think it's that simple?] Although I don't know why no trace of civilization has been found on the surface of the planet here, it is clear that there is a space-age civilization here, and we can't even find their location. ]

[Don't worry too much, though.] The other consciousness reassured, [Considering their skill level, they are far from being our opponents, and although we can't parse the strange way the ship was made, we can't help it if they are fully shielded.] ]

[However, the energy consumption of the deflection shield is very high, and it is not a long-term solution to waste energy all the time...... Maybe we should find a place where the other party will not dare to attack, and slowly settle down first. ]

[If the other party is a mainstream carbon-based organism...... Then I probably already know how to get them to throw a rat trap, go full speed ahead, and then take the opportunity to build a base. Another consciousness chimed in, "Prepare for the next attack.] ]

[Forget it, maybe it's worth the risk......] The consciousness that had been objecting to it finally relented, [in that case, then go according to your plan.] ]

After a brief discussion, the dense poisonous gas mass fell into calm again, and only the high-energy radiation shuttling back and forth collided with each other invisibly, bursting out small sparks.

……

The signal sub-network as a whole is an extension of Xinglan's consciousness, so the information from the distant starry sky does not take time at all, it reaches her memory bank in an instant, and is quickly restored to a detailed three-dimensional image.

"Huge unknown mechanical equipment ......" In the center of the Qing Death Base, the girl who was lying quietly suddenly opened her eyes that flashed with red light, and all the components and modules of this standby body were quickly activated, and her empty eyes swept over the room of the base, "It seems that I don't have time to play with Xiao Mi Xin now...... This sneaky approach can basically be determined as a hostile object, and it is time to solve some problems on the Arashi. ”

Standing up slowly, the corners of Xinglan's mouth grinned with a sly smile of unknown meaning, she gently stretched out her slender little hand, clenched it in the air suddenly, and a trace of tiny sparks burst out between her fingers......

At the same moment, a large number of planet-makers roaming the star system simultaneously turned their course neatly, and the vents of the propulsion devices with the tail jets of particles suddenly expanded, far exceeding the huge thrust that had caused these behemoths to change their orbits and begin to accelerate with unimaginable agility......

And they are not the fastest, on the periphery of the asteroid belt where the boundary star is located, an armed missile launch base has adjusted its direction, and after a series of trajectory predictions, dozens of slender missiles fly out of the space station. These large killing weapons, which carried enough antimatter to sweep through a small half of the continent, gradually blurred shortly after being discharged, and then disappeared in an instant.

But in just a few seconds, they appeared several astronomical units away, and after a short voyage, they disappeared en masse again......

Short space jumps, this continuous flashing method is exactly the way of travel used by the Nova at that time, although it cannot avoid all kinds of danger zones in space, nor can it cross long planets in a short time inside, but this way of travel also has its unique advantages: this degree of space jump...... It can't even be said that it actually entered hyperspace, it can only be said that it is shallow across the surface of the water, and the disturbance caused by the timeline is almost negligible. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good choice to use it for installation on missiles at short ranges.

With such a dense attack, they have only one goal, and it is the alien space city that has completely uncovered its true face! No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as it is not the mysterious existence of the hypercube satellite in the sky above Lan Xing, which is almost beyond everything and completely untouchable, Xing Lan has the confidence to fight against it.

At the same time, Xinglan gently stepped onto the elevator and watched the scenery in front of her slowly descend in the field of vision, and in the hangar above, the near-ground shuttle to Lanxing was ready.

As for why don't you use the sub-signal of the energy field to open the space door to attack or go to the Arashi? Don't forget, if this kind of sub-signal is used to open the space door, it will completely become a one-time consumable, and it was because Xinglan thought that this was a rare opportunity to study the dark matter cluster that she specially allowed the research ship to make a space jump, and at this moment, this spherical space city has not yet made Xinglan pay attention to the use of this precious sub-signal ...... At least not yet.

Even these technological weapons can't deal with the opponent, it's a big deal to directly invade the opponent's central circuit system with signal prons, and with this ability to be an almost high-tech nemesis, Xinglan is completely confident in whether he can repel the opponent.

Now, let's solve Lanxing's problem first.

……

[UFOs have been detected approaching through a series of small-area jumps, and the targets are small in size, in elongated form, numbering in the dozens, presumably remotely controlled explosives.] The first consciousness thus announced the information that had just been discovered...... Well, let's call it Manipulator A, well, if you complain, you'll lose.

Hearing the information of Manipulator A, the other two Manipulators also inquired about the information records from the main system just now, and then, Manipulator B suddenly erupted into a chaotic fluctuation, probably the meaning of laughter.

[Are they ready to defeat us with this simple way of flying with a track so obvious that it couldn't be more obvious?] This is too easy to intercept, unless those explosives have the ability to directly blast this galaxy, it is impossible for us to hurt us with the shield turned on and the complete interception system! ]

Manipulator C hesitated slightly, as if he had something to say about Manipulator B's confidence, but in the end he didn't say anything, but calmly analyzed the situation: [Don't forget the spaceship that suddenly appeared before, it jumped over a long distance without any prediction of the trajectory.] Although judging from the fact that the weapon is not used in this way, the other party cannot use this kind of space gate unscrupulously, but it still needs to be cautious......]

The shattered spherical space city turned slightly, and several intact depressions slowly cracked, and the next moment, beams of light gushed out of the ground like fountains, shooting straight into the dark space.

Short-range space jumps bring faster-than-light speed, but faster-than-light motion does not mean that these missiles that are not focused on by Xinglan, and even have no additional signal sub-protection can avoid the precisely calculated light-speed attack......

The destruction of these missiles naturally did not hide from Xinglan, who was taking the shuttle to Lanxing, but she didn't care, the next group of planet builders who were installing external short-range space jumping devices while moving forward could not be done by this simple laser interception system.

As for the three manipulators in the Sphere Space City? It is obviously impossible for them, who have mastered the technology of faster-than-light observation, not to discover the planet-makers who are rapidly approaching from all directions of the star system, but they are as calm as ever, and they have their own plans in mind......

What will be the end result?
