Chapter 551: Investigation
The base on the planet is stored with high-purity energy crystals that can be used by three or nine thousand warships for a hundred days, and the safety of these materials is related to the success or failure of the empire's next round of strategic offensives, and there is no room for error!
However, that's not the most important thing! After a comprehensive and deep exploration and scanning of this planet, it was found that there were a large number of extremely high-quality ore veins in the strata thousands of meters deep, and there were even magic crystal ore veins! It is the place where the temple of sacrifice was built!
After this important information was submitted, the Grand Commander immediately issued an order, transferred a large number of materials, and the totem priests carefully measured and preliminarily selected 8 suitable areas and began to step up the construction of the temple.
The sacrificial temple is the most important dry land in the hearts of the Kilizako people, this race was born from the underground, relying on various ores devouring the underground to maintain its own development, after a long period of evolution, finally developed its own civilization, and established a huge underground empire!
Every few absolute years, they enter a period of metamorphosis, which varies from a few years to a dozen years. As long as they have a good time, their strength will be greatly improved! Life forms will also gradually transform from carbon-based to silicon-based, and those individuals who have existed long enough and have undergone a large enough number of transformations will eventually completely transform into silicon-based forms and become perfect spar life! They call it the Crystal Emperor! The empire has been inherited for countless eras, and there are only nine surviving Crystal Emperors, who jointly hold the supreme power of the empire!
The transformation is inseparable from the assistance of the sacrificial temple. No matter what kind of individual they are, after the transformation period comes, they must go to the sacrificial temple. Receive the blessing ceremony of the totem sacrifices. With the help of the soft energy unique to the sacrificial dry crystal. Guide your body into a deep sleep, absorb the essence of the surrounding mineral veins in your sleep, and enhance your own life essence and source of strength!
This period is also the period when they are at their weakest. Any external adverse effects may kill them! Therefore, whenever the transformation period of the people of the race comes, the totem sacrifices will always rack their brains and choose those places that are remote and unobtrusive, hidden deep underground. The ore vein resources will have to use as much territory as possible to build a temple! To ensure that the people of the race get through this period of weakness safely!
Of course, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there are clues to follow no matter how secret the layout is! In the long years when the Kilizakos multiplied underground, and finally burrowed out of the ground and entered the universe, they encountered a powerful civilization that they did not know how many mortals, and in the process of competing with these civilizations for living space, they were repeatedly forced to the brink of extinction because of this damn weakness! Especially millions of years ago, when he started a war with the Origin Ancient God Race on the other side of the Star Sea. It happened that two-thirds of the people of the whole race entered the metamorphosis period, and they were caught by that damn race. There was a massacre like no other!
Due to the large number of individuals entering the metamorphosis period, the power to protect the safety of the temple has been greatly weakened! The Origin Ancient God Race has entered their land almost effortlessly! A large number of rich planets have been occupied, countless underground temples have been discovered, and then there has been a one-sided slaughter!
During those bloody years, the Kilizakos were almost exterminated! Almost all of the existing lands have fallen, and only a few barren planets that are really remote and have few resources have been spared! In such a powerful empire spanning millions of light-years and with more than a trillion individuals, fewer than a million individuals have escaped!
Later, in order to survive and continue the fire of civilization, the Kilizako race had to compromise and temporarily reveal all the dignity and glory of an ancient noble race, and voluntarily became a slave of the ancient god race, searching for them in the vast sea of stars and mining all kinds of precious resources in exchange for a place to live.
Later, the Origin Ancient God Race encountered an even more formidable enemy, and in just a few years, the immeasurably large empire collapsed! All instances are missing! The speed of the fall and the completeness of the destruction are more than the Kilizakos of the past!
After the disappearance of the former suzerain, Kilizako was able to re-emerge, and after millions of years of recuperation, he became the master of this starry sky again!
The upper echelons of the empire had previously investigated the reasons for the extinction of the Origin Ancient God race, but in the end they found nothing. A huge blockade of unknown energy hid the ancient wormhole, turning both ends of the sea of stars into a moat, completely isolating the origin of the origin of the ancient god race from the Haoting Xiaodu Heavenly Galaxy! I can't move freely anymore!
The Empire of the Great Catastrophe learned its lesson, and in addition to making the places of worship more remote and difficult to find, it also used a variety of methods to cover up. At the same time, the secret method was used to postpone the transformation period of some races, and the tribes were staggered as much as possible. In order to avoid that after people of many races enter the transformation period together, the combat effectiveness of the empire will drop too much in a short period of time, and finally be taken advantage of!
This time, the ancient wormhole reappeared in the sea of stars, and the Great Lord ordered to march into this starry sky, that is, he saw that there were quite a lot of resources here, and at the same time, there were no races strong enough to threaten them! It can be used as a place to build a sacrificial temple!
Even so, while building the temple, the higher-ups still did enough work, and all the concealment methods that could be used were used! Those few temples were heavily covered by multi-layer space mirror technology, and even the powerhouses of the Ink Crystal Commander were impossible to find out if they were not guided by the situation.
After all, there were two examples of temples being destroyed at that time, although the temples had not yet been built and various means of defense and concealment were not yet in place! The higher-ups only classified this matter as an accident, but it was a matter of life and death for their own race, so they couldn't be careless!
The golden-robed priest had suggested to the High Lord that a part of the fleet be sent to protect the safety of the temple. But this unrealistic suggestion was rejected by the Great Lord!
Due to the harsh conditions required to build a sacrificial temple, it is impossible to have too many suitable locations on the same planet, and a temple can only accommodate no more than nine thousand races at the same time! This doomed the temple to be distributed in countless galaxies, and it was estimated that it would be an impossible task to leave a strong enough defense force near each planet!
"If the temple is taken into account, then the offensive against humanity will have to stop. Give it a chance to breathe. Take a breath of relief. The commandos weave enough strength to counterattack, and the losses of our race will be unpredictable! The Great Lord said, "Only by taking this opportunity to completely defeat human civilization can we clear the way for the revival of the tribe!" ”
The logistics and material transit base on the surface of the planet is another means of confusing the enemy. Even if it is discovered by humans, the materials in the base are enough for them to return satisfied, and it is absolutely impossible to estimate that there is nothing else in the ground thousands of meters deep!
The black universe is like a giant flannel. Countless bright stars dot it, and behind it is the magnificent Haoting Xiaodu Sky Galaxy, where its hometown is!
I looked at the dashboard in front of me, I came out for so long, it's time to go back and replenish my energy! Moreover, it also misses the taste of human flesh very much, and it is more delicious than any kind of life that I have eaten before! When I go back this time, I definitely have a full meal!
However, just as it was preparing for the return trip. The detector howled like crazy, and countless points of light of unknown origin filled the hedron display in front of them!
It's an enemy attack!
What's going on? Isn't this behind the line? The human fleet has been driven thousands of light-years away. It's supposed to be safe here, where did those guys come from?
Filled with some incomprehension, it alerted the base. Then plan to speed up and rush back! A few seconds later, a thick laser beam silently swept through, turning the small ship into a ball of fire!
"There's a situation right ahead!" In the flagship, a staff officer replied.
"How many fleets does the other side have?" Tian Xuanhao asked.
"I didn't find it, there seems to be only one large-scale base on that planet!" The staff officer responded.
"Dispatch additional exploration satellites to conduct a comprehensive scan of the entire planet, while keeping a close eye on the reactions of the surrounding satellite fields. If the other party has reinforcements coming, they must return as soon as possible! ”
"Yes!"
Soon, the almost undefended situation on the planet was confirmed, and in the base, the huge spar jars with a height of 100 meters were all sealed with extremely pure energy crystals! And the strength of the guards is only more than 20,000 Kilizako soldiers with cannon fodder products!
"This time, however, I made a fortune!" The officers couldn't help but be overjoyed.
So much energy, enough for the attrition of three or nine thousand Kilizako's main warships fighting for a hundred days in a row! How upset them about falling into the hands of a human task force for so much nothing?
This energy spar is a specialty of Haoting Xiaodutian, which is different from the energy used by human beings. The energy intensity contained in some volumes is much higher than that of similar products in the human world. This suggests that some of the resources of that galaxy are considerably more numerous than the starry sky in which humans are located; In addition, their energy spar purification and processing technology is far superior to that of humans!
With a slight improvement to the energy circulation system inside the battleship, this batch of hedron can be used by humans!
"It's been more than a week, and today's harvest can be said to be the ultimate!" Tian Xuanhao said excitedly, "Inform the brothers to transport all this batch of loot to the battleship!" Then explore the planet's surface again to see if anything else is found! ”
"Probably not, right?" Karadzic said.
"Enough has been harvested this time! Having lost so many energy crystals at once, it may even affect the operations of the forward fleet, but I am afraid that they will immediately send reinforcements to intercept them after learning the news! To be on the safe side, we'd better retreat immediately! ”
As soon as he said this, Tian Xuanhao was also a little hesitant: "It seems to be the truth!" In that case, let's go now? ”
"I don't approve of it!" Ye Qingyuan said, "My 8th sense tells me that there must be something worthy of our interest on this planet!" ”
"The 8th sense of idealism can't be used as the basis for battlefield decisions!" Karadzic said dissatisfied.
The corners of Ye Qingyuan's mouth hooked slightly, ignored him, turned his head to Tian Xuanhao and said, "I'll take some people down to take a look, take a turn, if you don't find it, it's not too late for us to retreat!" ”
Tian Xuanhao estimated and touched it, nodded his head and said, "Okay!" But you only have two hours! ”
"No problem, that's enough time!"
The advance ship was suspended at an altitude of 10,000 meters above the ground and galloped at a speed of 100 times the speed of sound.
Ye Qingyuan closed his eyes and sat quietly in a closed cabin, and his brain waves spread out with all his might! With him as the center, all movements within a radius of twenty kilometers from heaven to earth and below cannot be hidden! Even in a deep hole, some small reptiles can't escape his perception!
With the technical level of the Kilizako, the detection methods of human beings are generally not expected to be effective, and only the spiritual perception of the awakened stars may be discovered!
"Even if you fly at this speed, you can't possibly explore the entire planet in two hours!" In the depths of his consciousness, Lan Yu spoke: "Besides, can your brain waves support it?" ”
"Gotta try!" He responded, "Hopefully my luck is not only so bad, or are you willing to help?" Let's say it first, I don't have a crystal nucleus for you at the moment, everything can only be owed first, and then I will cash it out when I return to the empire! ”
Lan Yu was also unambiguous: "Yes!" However, you have to add interest! ”
"You're ruthless! Well, it's up to you! He said depressedly.
In the sea of knowledge, the woman let out a smug laugh, raised her hand slightly, and a circle of golden light escaped, revealing the body in an instant, spreading in all directions!
Having absorbed the astronomical amount of crystal nucleus energy, she has recovered a lot, and she can use some supernatural powers that are not too strong, and use brain waves to perceive the surrounding environment and find out where the enemy may be hiding, which is just a piece of cake for her power!
Ten minutes later, Lan Yu had already finished his work.
"Done so quickly?" He asked, surprised and delighted. "Did you find anything?"
A map came out of his mind, clearly marked with the locations of the 8 underground bases!
"These guys are becoming more and more shrewd, and they actually use extremely clever spatial mirror shielding, it's not as good as me, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out if you wander around here for a hundred years!" She said proudly.
"Great! Go back this time, and all the crystal nuclei will be yours! As long as you help find a few more bases in the future! He swore by it.
With that experience, he could see at a glance that it was definitely the sacrificial temple, the key point of the Kilizako people! An order has been issued from above, every time such a base is found and destroyed, there will be a generous meritorious reward, and now 8 have been found at once, and this credit is enough for him to be promoted to general!
In the main control room of the flagship, a group of officers stared at the coordinates sent back not long ago, and were speechless for a long time.
"This guy's 8th sense is right, there are so many sacrificial temples hidden here!" Karadzic was convinced, "It's better to do more when you leave, you really missed a big credit!" ”
Tian Xuanhao nodded lightly: "This discovery, Ye Qingyuan should be the first to make a contribution, as long as a few more are found and destroyed, we will all become heroes of the empire when we go back!" ”
"Order the main gun to be charged immediately, lock on to the target, and fire a salvo at full operating rate!"
"Yes!" The officers replied excitedly. (To be continued.) )
