You're okay, right? ”

"It doesn't matter," the council still looked nonchalant, "my data subject is placed on the planet, and the interference of the extension on the network will not affect the subject. The amount of data in the Unard aggregate is too large, and we don't have the advanced quality projection technology of yours, if I want to appear at the far nodes of the network and be able to contact the material world, I can only use this extremely bandwidth- and environmentally-demanding ......" flicker, disappear, reappear, the council continued, "...... Extended physical technique. ”

Coco Kina looked at his old partner, who had been separated for a long time and had recently reunited: "Actually, you don't have to use an extension to come here, if you use regular projection, you can still see the scene." ”

"But I want to 'touch' that thing myself, and find out what kind of thing has brought such a catastrophe to you," the council smiled slightly, looking at Cocokina's erratic face, "Contact with the material world is the only pleasure I have......"

Three seconds later, the council appeared in front of us again, and she looked at Lin Xue very sincerely: "That...... Can you turn off your small device? While you may think it's nothing, it's a big impact on our still fragile network. ”

I glanced at Miss Lin and found that she was using a data terminal to connect to the interstellar, and she was connecting to the bubbles: I immediately knew what was going on with the frequent and abnormal interference of the Dao from just now, and at the same time felt deeply sorry to the council.

At this moment, the rail car, which relies on the traction beam to transport personnel between the space station and the large spacecraft, also arrived at the end smoothly, and we felt a slight vibration under our bodies, and then the porthole next to us opened, and it was already the scene inside the spacecraft.

When the group came outside, there were already many staff members answering them, and most of them were more or less focused on me and Sandora for a moment, how to say. Although the communication between the Empire and the Exiles is now normalizing, this will not change the status quo of the Empire's people as rare creatures in the eyes of the Exiles, and it is indeed quite curious that we appear in front of them.

"Well, it looks ...... What an old spaceship. Lin Xue looked up and looked around, and couldn't help but mutter. According to what we know about the history of the exiles, this colonial giant ship was built when the exile fleet was supposed to be built, tens of thousands of years old, and we can't help but admit that this is a very magnificent giant spaceship. If it is seen by earthlings, it is estimated that it will be shocked, but it is undeniable that it is already old and dilapidated. Severe signs of wear can be seen on the alloy floor of the ship's anchorage, and although this special metal never corrodes, it has been devastated by years of erosion. The light in the wide mooring bay is uneven, and in many places it is even dark. Local artificial gravity has a skew of at least five degrees. It feels very uncomfortable, and the atmospheric circulation here seems to have completely stopped, the air pressure is not at all like a pre-living environment, and most of the staff on site are wearing special fully enclosed overalls: the other few are probably of a special race, and can survive in low pressure and oxygen-free environments.

"The Ankach series is the oldest model of colonial megaships, built with no experience, and it has a lot of design shortcomings, and no one would have imagined that its ecosystem would need to be maintained for so many years," Cocokina said. Floating ahead of us to lead the way, although this spirit creature also has humanoid limbs, he doesn't seem to be used to walking, more like a floating ghost, "Plus we are not skilled in the art of ghost energy, the Ankach 5 has had several accidents, and its ecosystem is the worst of all the giant ships, and when it escaped, only one-sixth of the ship's vaults were still alive. However, compared to Ankach 6, which disappeared in the depths of the void hundreds of years ago during the Ghost Furnace Rampage, it was actually quite lucky. ”

How to say it. My biggest problem with communicating with these exiles is that I always get into awkward situations from time to time. Even though the other party didn't mean to do it on purpose, I didn't have to take all the blame at all. But when it's embarrassing, it's still embarrassing, which can probably only be said to be due to personality - just like a real literary and artistic youth, even scolding the street can't help but use analogies......

The long axis of Ankach 5 is more than 100 kilometers long, and the passage inside the ship is of course even more large, and the target warehouse is in the middle of the giant ship, so it is definitely not possible to walk over, but due to the failure of the teleporter in the spaceship, we can only take a small shuttle to get there. Passing through the gates in the surface area, one needs to cross a large plain attached to the isolation bulkhead (this plain was supposed to be a habitation and ecological area, but now it has been killed by poisonous gases and pollution, and through the portholes you can only see the abandoned urban buildings and charred black earth, and some twisted plant remains), and then fly directly into the intricate pipe network compartment of the giant ship from a large crack in the secondary blockade wall that does not look like a normal design. It was only after the town was still dimly lit that we arrived at the warehouse where "that thing" was stored.

Along the way, I saw a starship that was not so much a colony ship as it was a steaming shipwreckage, and the level of dilapidation of the cascading ecoregions, conveyor networks, and concentrated settlements was so shattering that I couldn't imagine how they had survived in such an ecological environment for hundreds of years after their exile, and the most suffocating thing was the large hole in the middle of the secondary lockdown wall, which was said to have been torn apart by a ghost energy leak. At that time, the two material synthesis factories and a small residential area near the rift were instantly radiated into powdery crystals, and the remaining pollution has not been cleaned up until now, and the residents near the contaminated area had nowhere to go but to risk their lives to live in a shelter separated by a wall of deadly dust—these are all things that Coco Kena told on the road, and he knew all about the accidents that had happened to every colonial ship of the Fifth Fleet.

I don't know if it was the ruined scene she saw along the way that touched Sandora, her face was not very good-looking, and when the shuttle arrived at its destination, she whispered: "Ah Jun, I feel a little uneasy." ”

"Indeed, the situation with the Fifth Fleet is really ......"

"No, I didn't mean that," Sandora's voice rang out in a spiritual connection. "It's something else that makes me feel ...... Discomfort, probably intuition, the way something is going to happen. ”

I gave Sandora a strange look, and then it occurred to me: as a person who has witnessed tens of millions of years (maybe longer?) Having been exposed to events more touching than the exiles, the queen of the empire, who has almost no upper limit on her calmness, could Sandora be so out of shape because she saw a ruined ecological ship? Apparently impossible.

Just as I was about to ask further what was going on. But Cokekina suddenly spoke: "The one in front is." ”

Sandora waved her hand lightly, signaling not to worry about her, and then pulled me off the shuttle.

In front of everyone, there was a large mass of metal structures that had been severely deformed and damaged, and the material and function were completely invisible. It is roughly square in shape, with a side length of about ten meters. In front of us stood like a small building, its surface covered with twisted metal plates, and from under the broken metal plates came jagged fragments of parts, all parts of it were completely black, but I don't know if it was the original color or later became like this, I could not feel that there was a noteworthy energy reaction inside it, although there was a trace of radiation and secondary energy, but it was not "alive", it looked like a mass of scrap metal recovered from the battlefield. If there's one thing that catches the eye, it's that this piece of alloy is ugly enough.

"Well, you say...... Is it because you stumbled upon it, and the Merois called? ”

I looked at Coco Kina suspiciously, and suddenly it felt a little funny: I had thought I would see some treasures, such as the buzzing Empire's high-tech non-combustible garbage, but I didn't expect that what appeared in front of me was only a ten-meter square piece of iron, and its interior lacked even a high-energy response. And when I looked at the mechanical structures that were exposed beneath the broken alloy shells, I found that they were unusually rough in design. Not to mention comparing it to Imperial Technology. Not even compared to the ships of the Fifth Fleet. Although my own expertise is not very masterful...... Well, I'll admit it. My professional knowledge is a lump of whatever, but because I usually have a lot of high-tech and unclear things, I still have some discernment in related fields, and the square wreckage in front of me is a rather old and backward product no matter how you look at it - more than half of its internal wiring is still connected by mechanical card locks!

"History...... Rub, it's been so long ago that it's impossible to tell the difference," the eldest lady reached out and touched the shell of the thing, and immediately burst into words, "God knows when this was made, according to the normal course of history, I'm afraid it's all things that should have disappeared a long time ago." ”

"It's just a guess now," Cocokina said with a shrug, or maybe just a wave of his hand," a statistician stumbled upon the incident. The unidentified object was first discovered outside the barrier of the Realm of the World, and while we were repairing a faulty node, we found it stuck in the pedestal of the guard station, and later the maintenance team sent it to the research department to try to analyze its source, only to ...... a few days later And then the Merois appeared. The unidentified object was packed aboard the spacecraft along with the scientific research materials. ”

"It's hard to prove that the Merovas were attracted to this thing." I frowned.

"But they chased after the Ankach 5 giant ship fiercely, and tried to stop the ship with almost half of their forces, but at the critical moment they looked shrinking back, as if they were afraid of damaging something," Coco Keina's three eyes lit up at the same time, showing his emotional agitation, "So we have been suspecting that something on the Ankach 5 has caught their attention, so we began to organize people to check all the registered goods of the Ankach 5, not even a single nail was missed, Eventually, we found this only ...... whose origin we couldn't tell Diamonds. ”

Cocokina's description finally made Sandora and I take it seriously, so that the Merova people's intentions were all too obvious, no doubt for the cargo of Ankach 5, but just for such a block?

"Didn't you find anything else suspicious?" I looked at Coco Keina's blurry figure with unease.

Cocokina spread his hands: "There is a list of all the goods transported by Ankach 5, except for this block of unknown origin, the others are resources that we have produced from our home planet in the past two hundred years, and those things are unlikely to be the culprits that brought the Merova people here." And as ordinary as the cube may seem, it has a secret that we can't explain: it appeared outside the barrier of the worldly realm, that is, it had crossed the void before we discovered it. ”

"But it doesn't have the structure to sail through the void." Sandora said with a frown. Her gaze fell on the twisted and broken shell of the cube and the intricate mechanical structure that emerged from beneath the shell, "There is no engine, there is no order field shield generator, and the energy level is not enough...... Either it was thrown into your realm by a larger carrier and brought in the Merois. Or, it's part of a large ship that crashed in the void and came to you just by coincidence......"

And then the Merois were also brought in, and in any case, the Fifth Fleet was lying down this time with serious guns. Now there's the last question: what do those Merois like about this block?

I reached out and banged on the metal shell of the cube, only to push too hard. A small piece of severely corroded metal fragments fell directly, and when I picked up the fragments and pinched them, I found that their strength was probably the weakest of the interstellar alloys I had ever seen - I mean comparing it to the high-strength alloys made by other world-spanning civilizations, if it was compared to ordinary civilizations that were still trapped in their own universe, the technological content of this block might also be superb. After a simple judgment, I came to the conclusion that the material of the target object is just an ordinary material, and the level of technology is not easy to say, but it is definitely not comparable to the Empire, and it will not surpass those Merois who have almost learned a skill from the Empire, and there is no special energy reaction in it. The possibility of a treasure hidden in the tin shell was preliminarily ruled out. I turned my head to look at Sandora: "Do you want someone to take it apart on the spot?" It's all broken like this, and it is estimated that you don't have to think much about the means of protection, and the inside is probably a mess. ”

"I ......" Sandora reacted strangely, she had been staring at the cube with a thoughtful look on her face since just now, as if she was always thinking about something else when she spoke, "I don't know...... But looking at it, I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity......"

"Be careful when dismantling," just as I was about to ask Shandora further, Lin Xue suddenly spoke. "There's something in there...... Let me see. ”

The eldest lady said. Leaned forward and pressed his hand on the surface of the block, his eyes emitting a faint white light. I entered the prophetic mode, and I squeezed Sandora's hand a little worriedly, only to suddenly find that Aurelia on the other side was also reacting a little wrong: she was staring at the square in a daze, just like Sandora, and the wings behind her were unconsciously swaying slightly, and she was completely distracted.

"Kites? Kite? I beckoned to Aurelia, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Your Majesty......" The other party came back to his senses, his wings trembling slightly, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”

"You and Sandora both reacted weirdly," I frowned, "all right?" ”

"I don't know," Aurelia let out a long breath to regain her usual composure, "I may have the same feeling as His Majesty Sandora, looking at this cube, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy...... Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by the appearance of this cube, perhaps we need to be cautious about this thing, it seems that it can attract the Merovas for no reason. ”

At this time, the eldest lady had already finished her scanning work, and leaned over with a strange expression: "Wood, this is a coffin." ”

Shandora and I said "ah" at the same time, and Lin Xue said again: "The coffin, or it's a tomb, I can't see it clearly, you know, I'm a prophet, not an X-ray machine." Let the people from the research center come, bring the most elaborate dismantling equipment they can find, and don't break the 'thing' inside, there is a broken energy knot in the core of this cube, and you need to pay special attention to the fact that in several other historical lines, the dismantling failure caused by this energy knot alone has reached more than a dozen. ”

I immediately contacted Shadow City and asked the research center to organize a group of the most skilled technicians to come over immediately, and according to Lin Xue's suggestion, we decided to disassemble this mysterious cube here to improve the success rate.

The council and Cocokina knew that things were going on, and that we needed a quiet environment, so they ordered unrelated personnel to evacuate the scene, and only the two of them stayed here with Sandora's permission. Soon, the team of experts who came from Shadow City arrived at Ankach 5 with a full set of equipment, and the team was led by an acquaintance: Victor or Tokwey or Ketowe or Kweto.

By the way, he is leading the dismantling of the Black Shuttle, and the current demolition experts in Shadow City are all in his hands.

"Your Majesty, the Master Mother, Tokvi is here to report!" The dark-skinned senior technician saluted me, Sandora and Lin Xue, and then his gaze fell on the unknown cube, and sure enough, his reaction was the same as that of Sandora and Aurelia just now: distracted, thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" The senior technician was puzzled, "There is a strange sense of familiarity, as if I have seen it somewhere." ”

"This is a coffin," I exhaled, and then quickly pointed at Lin Xue, "By the way, she said it." ”
