Chapter 21: Meteorite Rain

Due to the urgency of time, Xia Long had to fly the Life Freedom mothership to the outer space of New Blue Star, looking at this beautiful blue planet, Xia Long understood that this time he left, he was afraid that it would be a long time before he could come back again, and he might not be able to touch it again.

According to Cass's deployment, Xia Long came to the "Big Dipper", the area near the seven artificial satellite fortresses, according to him, the meteorite rain here is not very dense, and the life freedom mothership cooperates with the seven satellite fortresses, and there will be no big problems in dealing with this area.

In order to eliminate Xia Long's scruples, Cass did not arrange too many warship deployments here, and even made a promise that once during the meteorite rain, there are New Blue Star warships that let Xia Long's mothership enter the attack range, Xia Long can fire first!

Xia Long asked the computer if there was any way to detect the meteorite rain, but the computer's response was very devastating to Xia Long, and now the meteorite will not arrive in a few days, which is much beyond the detection range of the mothership, and the analysis can only be given within the last day.

Gathering the main personnel in the mothership, human Alice, clones 1 and 2, robots 3 and 4, and more than fifty robots of the same model as Keton, Xia Long had a serious expression and began to arrange the arrangement.

The first is to observe the dynamics of the mothership at all times, repair it immediately if there is a problem, as soon as the meteorite rain is solved, and Cass will immediately enter a hostile state, and the retreat route must be selected at the first time, the power system, barrier system, stealth system, and electromagnetic attack system must be ready at all times.

After that, Xia Long asked the four of his own sub-ship builders: "You have been here for so long, I still don't know what you are good at, how much do you think our most advantageous technology is ahead of the major city-states of New Blue Star, and how is the development of these advantages?"

No. 1 was the first to speak: "When No. 2 and I built the sub-ship, we were mainly responsible for the modulation and installation of small systems, and we were biased towards the use of electronics; No. 3 and No. 4 are responsible for the installation of various parts of the sub-ship, biased maintenance, some small problems can be dealt with, and the precise ones have to be dealt with separately. ”

Xia Long's question behind is not easy to answer, like the stealth technique, Cass has almost mastered it, so he can't be much ahead; And the use of electromagnetism, it is too far ahead, the barrier system is also an electronic application to put it bluntly, others can only use it in city-states and satellite fortresses, but on their own side, they can use small spaceships such as the Life Freedom sub-ship, and the electromagnetic storm is a unique electromagnetic attack.

Of course, this is also related to Dr. Mel, after all, he started by engaging in electromagnetic technology, otherwise when he moved to New Blue Star, Ark 1 would not have used his relatives to blackmail, how to use the progenitor particles in place, the key is to use electromagnetic technology and make it charged.

As for the development prospects, as a robot, No. 3 is analyzed very objectively, if Xia Long guards Dr. Mel's foundation and does not innovate or upgrade, or only uses a small amount of existing human resources to develop, it will not be long before the current superior skills will be surpassed by New Blue Star.

Just like the current cosmic reconnaissance, the meteorite rain Xia Long can only pass through the astronomical telescope at present, and the New Blue Star can calculate its trajectory a year ago, and the approximate time of arrival, which is too far behind.

After receiving the reply, Xia Long was very worried, now Cass is hindered by Dr. Mel's data box, Life Freedom, Ancestor Particle, he doesn't really come to himself, he just wants to catch it alive, once he is ruthless, or obtains the coveted technology in advance, I am afraid that he will soon be finished!

Preparing to give Cass some trouble so that he could have more time to develop, Charon asked No. 1, "You and No. 2 are so good at electronics that you can hack into New Zealand's newsletter?" It was best done while we were leaving. ”

No. 2 thought for a while and said, "It's a bit difficult, I'm afraid there isn't enough time, but if someone helps, it will be fine to put the electronic virus program we created into the New Blue Star news network!" ”

"Don't worry, if nothing else, Oscar and I will meet for the third time." Xia Long looked at Alice and said seriously, "Alice, please get ready, I will let the computer retrieve the original record of my communication with Cass, which contains the information that Dr. Mel handed over the Life Freedom and the data box to me, as well as Dr. Mel's identity confirmation information, you draft your speech, make a statement after the communication record, help me reverse the image of the people in New Zealand Star, and also slander Cass by the way!" ”

After explaining clearly to Alice, Xia Long came to the 50 robots: "Put on the protective armor sent by Oscar, you work hard during this time, be fully alert, and I will find a way to upgrade you when I return to the base, so that you are more like life!"

Xia Long didn't say it later, not a blank check made to encourage these robots, but from Alice in a "coma" feeling something, maybe this robot that has been with him for a few years, a robot that will threaten himself and be deceived into hugging by his dog's tail flower, will be the hope of all other robots, Dr. Mel is known as a clone and the father of robots!

After arranging things, only Xia Long and Alice were left, and the latter also saw some clues: "Are you inspired by Tulip to think that other robots can evolve further?" Also, do you believe in Oscar and Dirk that much? ”

"Although the girl is too smart to be cute, but you are my diplomatic spokesman, I can still accept it, and the tulip may be the hope of other robots! Dirk I can't believe it, after all, he revealed my identity to Cass, but Oscar will be much stronger, other city-states will not make Cass stronger and stronger, they need someone to cause some trouble for Cass, I am the best candidate! Xia Long rubbed his head and said, the arrangement just now was very sad.

As the meteorite rain approached, New Blue Star became more and more active, and large and small spaceships and warships were busy, just like ants moving. Cass has set up temporary bases in many places, and Xia Long is also quite puzzled by this phenomenon, is it possible to collect meteorites? Even if the resources are confirmed, the investment is a little too much, right?

On the first day of the meteorite rain, a shocking news came out that Ark 3 of City-State 3 had been activated! You must know that the boat has not been dispatched for hundreds of years, first, the scientific and technological content of the ark has lagged behind a lot compared to this era, and second, the energy to maintain its operation is too amazing.

Xia Long looked at the scene of Ark 3 standing in the air from the three-dimensional shield in the mothership of Life Freedom, and was also quite shocked, Cass can become the founder of the 6 major city-states, there are indeed some means, hidden deeply, even the No. 1 city-state that was once the most beautiful, does not have the ability to start the ark!

According to computer analysis, Ark 3 is much larger than the Mothership Life Freedom, and according to the news released by Cass, this Ark has been completely upgraded from the inside out.

Alice understood a little, and said angrily: "No wonder the major city-states are so stingy and so stingy in the merit system, it turns out that they are secretly upgrading the ark!" Now that the No. 3 city-state where Cass is located has been activated, it is estimated that the rest of the city-states have the same plan! :

Xia Long suddenly admired Kas: "First to let his Ark 3 start, Cass will undoubtedly receive a lot of goodwill from the people of New Blue Star, the Ark will move the first batch of humans to New Blue Star, in the early difficult environment to protect the people at that time, it is everyone's spiritual support, when the meteorites do not stop patronizing, it is the Ark that captures these meteorites and builds them into an artificial satellite fortress to resist meteorite attacks!" ”

Compared with Xia Long's admiration, the high-level leaders of other city-states are not so comfortable, just from the perspective of resisting this meteorite rain, it should not be a problem for the 7 city-states to join forces to deal with it, but Cass can start the ark, it is too shocking, not to mention the favor of the people, it is also an attitude towards other city-states, I Kas is your other city-states are stronger, and they are much stronger.

In space, inside a large battleship in City-State No. 6, Oscar was very excited, and said respectfully to a middle-aged man: "City Lord Howard, are you in a hurry to summon me for something?" I'll do my best! ”

The middle-aged man was actually in his 300s, still healthy, and was the lord of the No. 6 city-state, and urged Oscar: "Time is pressing, hurry back to our city-state, prepare 1,000 sets of protective armor, and 200 sets of the latest products, find a transport ship with no information records, and bring it to Xia Long!" Well, bring 50 kg of plutonium fuel too! Control the timing, I'll cover you from detection! ”

After Oscar received the order, his heart beat violently, this mission is extraordinary, and after it is completed, it will definitely be valued by the city lord, protective armor is nothing, 50 kilograms of plutonium fuel is too valuable, enough to keep the life freedom mothership of Xia Long sailing for several years, right? Maybe longer, the point is that Lord Howard also said to cover himself.

After watching Oscar leave, the city lord of City-State Howard of No. 6 said silently: "Cass, I really underestimated you, I really shouldn't have formed an alliance with you for your memory backup, the ark was activated by you and upgraded, I'm afraid you want to annex the rest of the city-states, don't blame me for thinking of a way out for yourself!" ”

And Xia Long's side, listening to the analysis results from the meteorite rain given by the computer, the nuclear material content is extremely high, much higher than the meteorites we captured before, and some other rare metals are also very rich, but the area guarded by the Life Freedom is very small, and there are fewer effective resources!

Robot No. 3 said stiffly: "Xia Long, this situation is very strange, it is said that there will be no meteorites rich in such high precious metal resources, but just to deal with these meteorite rains, our side will still be very safe!" ”

Alice also responded puzzled: "Could it be that a particularly big pie really fell from the sky, and it just smashed to New Zealand Star?" ”

Xia Long shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that we let Cass put it together, and even the other 6 city-states have been put together by Cass, let's work hard to give New Blue Star a beautiful name to resist the meteorite impact, Cass will collect these precious resources, he has set out the ark, and he must be the one who has gained the most!" ”

After 10 hours, all the residents of New Blue Star could see with the naked eye a dense flickering of light in the sky; The viewing effect in space is better, these points of light are gradually getting closer, gradually getting bigger, and gradually clear, the meteorite rain is coming, if these meteorites are allowed to directly hit the New Blue Star, there will be a devastating disaster!
