After dismantling the large ball of light supercomputer, the cabin they were in was also plunged into darkness, but fortunately, the expedition team had already prepared and turned on the various lamps prepared nearby, and hundreds of huge humanoid mechs continued to work. They were busy, using a huge lift system to lift the large lightball supercomputer that had just been dismantled, and carefully pushed it towards the huge space-time gate that had been erected.

Eventually, the large ball of light, which was nearly 10 stories in diameter, was sent through the space-time portal and appeared in a newly built rear research center. With the big guy being sent away, the first phase of the expedition's mission is nearing completion.

Of course, there was one more important thing they hadn't done, and that was to destroy the ring before leaving. There are still a lot of technical samples worth collecting on HALO, but the operation must end before more Covenant forces arrive.

According to the original plot, within a month, the Covenant's large forces, including the huge astral "City of Fraternity", will arrive at the location of the wreckage of this ring. At that time, this place will be filled with hundreds of millions of Star Alliance troops, and that kind of military strength is absolutely not capable of challenging the expedition team at this time.

"Check the scene, bring back the wreckage of this machine, I see that there is still a rescue!" Hargrave commanded the research team to put the finishing touches on it, and told the researchers to carefully collect the remains of the 343 Spark of Sin and bring it back for study.

In his opinion, Alice's move just now should not have destroyed the intelligence core of 343 Spark of Sin, but the shell was completely scrapped. As long as the wreckage is brought back and salvaged, there is still hope for a complete resurrection of this whimsical man with a strange sense of humor.

After the personnel of the scientific research team quickly withdrew, Shen Chao counted the expedition personnel left behind at the scene, and set up a timed space shuttle-sized antimatter bomb at the scene. After doing this, lead the people through the space-time portal. Back to Space Station Zero.

If one qiē proceeded as expected, by the time they returned to the Pegasos through the other space-time gates, the antimatter bomb should have detonated just in time, with tens of billions of tons of explosive energy significantly exceeding the power of the Autumnwind's jump engine core blast, enough to blow up the ring.

Originally, Shen Chao was preparing to rush back to the aura plane through another set of space-time gates. Observe the spectacular sight of the disintegration of the ring from afar. However, Alice's super long ability table made him change his mind, after all, the world is not as big as his own family affairs.

So, as soon as he withdrew and closed the space-time door, he pulled Alice to a corner where no one was around, and carefully inquired about the cause of the incident. Previously, he only knew that Alice had suffered a setback in her own maternal plane, but he did not know the specific impact of that "small" setback on Alice, who was already under great external pressure because of their relationship.

Now, Shen Chao is quite sure that Alice must have used some kind of new technology or dangerous "special items" that are still in the preliminary test and detection to strengthen her ability to manipulate dark energy. The problem is that these technologies are still very immature. Basically, it was achieved using "special items" brought back from other planes by the expedition.

It is basically in the preliminary research stage of "the principle of action is unknown, and the consequences of use can only be guessed". In other words, the potential dangers of these technologies are huge, and users who use these immature technologies may not only gain a huge increase in ability, but also have huge side effects, and even threaten life safety or cause irreparable damage to the body.

"What did you do to yourself?" Don't tell me anything about overplay, you know I recognize you lying! Because he was quite sure that his girlfriend had used a dangerous technique, Shen Chao, who was aroused by his desire to protect, unconsciously used the position of "knocking on the wall", which was popular in the main plane, against Alice against a corner.

Although there was deep concern and apprehension in his tone. However, because he was more excited. Naturally, the strength used in the hands is greater. The metal wall that was hit hard by his palm was not a soft sound like ordinary couples playing "Dong Wall".

Unlike that, Shen Chao made a crash-like sound after using the "knock wall", and directly pressed a palm print on the unlucky alloy wall. Seeing his reaction like this, Alice was also a little scared, and avoided looking at him, so as not to tell the truth in an excited way.

But by this time. Secrecy is no longer necessary. Shen Chao already had some quite reliable guesses in his mind, after all, he was well aware of every external operation of the expedition and all the "special items" brought back from the heterotopic plane.

Of all the "special items" in the expedition's warehouse, only two have been proven to greatly enhance the overall abilities of humans, one of which can only be used to enhance the physique and intelligence, and the other "special item" can transform an ordinary person with no special talent into a person who can manipulate dark energy.

Because the potential and danger of these "special items" are enormous. As a result, only the staff of the most core space research space station and the A-class members of the expedition team in the extraterrestrial plane have access to them.

In particular, the "special item" that can transform ordinary people into supernatural people is ranked very high in the scientific research project of the expedition, it is a mysterious crystal from the "super runaway" plane, which is not difficult to obtain, but it is expected to become the next major technological breakthrough of the expedition.

Shen Chao guessed that Alice should have used that mysterious crystal to improve her ability level. This is the only way to explain her sudden and elevated ability level, which even a few teenagers in the plot can turn into top-level abilities that can fly into the sky in a matter of months through a brief encounter with the mysterious crystal, let alone Alice.

"Speak, we're talking about your life!" Shen Chao saw that Alice was still avoiding the topic, and suddenly asked in an accentuated tone.

"What is there to say?" That's right, I broke the rules you set and used immature technology in violation of regulations, what are you going to do to lock me up in the hospital and exile me to the uninhabited plane? I don't care, because it's well worth it! Alice was forced to the limit by Shen Chao and suddenly pushed him away with a dark energy field, and said in a very excited tone.

She enjoyed the feeling of being so powerful, because after she had shown her hand on the belt not long ago, he could clearly feel that the other people around her looked at her differently, and there were countless people who gossiped behind her back, but now, she was quite sure that no one would dare to look at her with contempt anymore.

"So you're taking all these risks for the attitude of those who have nothing to do with it? Why can't you just ask me what I think......" Shen Chao was also excited, and saw that a quarrel between lovers was about to start.

And while they were solving their personal problems in the corner, the expedition's operations in the Halo Plane were still going on according to the schedule. Custer took over the command very consciously after discovering that Shen Chao was caught in "housework".

On the one hand, he was glad that he was still single and did not have to experience this kind of fearless quarrel between couples, on the other hand, he was a little envious of each other, after all, he had witnessed most of the history of the relationship between Shen Chao and Alice, and knew that the quarrel between them had always been a way to "show affection".

After all, someone quarreling means that someone cares about your own health wholeheartedly, which is the beautiful defect that "single dogs" can't use the excuses of "independence, freedom, and personal space" to prevaricate the past that only belonged to couples.

Custer knew that in less than a day, Shen Chao and Alice would be able to settle their previous suspicions, settle the dispute between them, and maybe even go further and go straight to the marriage hall, and he, as the second-in-command of the expedition, was to ensure that the scheduled plan would not be disrupted by this little episode.

To do this, he chases away the few members of the expedition who tried to come together to help dissuade them, but in fact they can only cause chaos, and learns the inside story from Hargrave. After figuring out the reason, he took all the team members involved in the operation and went around in a circle and brought back the Pegassos, which was still in the halo plane.

After rushing to the bridge, he was a little helpless to tell Damien, who was still on duty on the bridge, waiting for orders. As he expected, after hearing what happened, the other party was a little crying and laughing.

"So, our boss is throwing a tantrum because his girlfriend has just become the most powerful supernatural in the known universe?" Damion, who is also an Anomalous, asked in a questioning tone.

As a core member of the expedition, of course he knew about the mysterious crystal brought back from the "Super Runaway" plane, if it weren't for Shen Chao's order to not allow anyone in the expedition team to use that object when their technology was immature, he was very eager to prove his ability in the previous paragraph, and he wanted to try to use it to improve his ability level.

"The way they care about each other is very 'unique', and the technology is really too immature. Custer took the opportunity to give his own comments.

"How soon do you think they'll be back to normal?" Damien, who didn't often see Shen Chao, asked, because he had been managing the space-time fleet with complicated affairs for a long time, so he didn't know the relationship and personal characteristics of Shen Chao and Alice like other core members.

"They never quarrel more than one night, and by tomorrow at the latest, we'll see them reconcile, and when they're in a good mood, we'll be the target of their picking, so refresh yourself, we still have a lot of work to do!" Custer sighed and encouraged each other with Damien to get ready for the rest of the work. (To be continued......)
