Chapter Eighty-Eight: Return to Base (Part II)

After flying around the huge potato for a few laps, Yunyi controlled the giant ship to stop and put the ship's engine into standby.

The surface of this celestial body where the Avenger Army base is located is no different from the other celestial bodies around it, with strange potholes, but if you get close to a certain position behind this potato side, you will see the dock berth hidden there. The whole harbor was pitch black, and there was not a trace of light. Cloud Wing turned on the laser generator used for lighting in the front of the ship, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire dock, and as the pattern zoomed in, it could be seen that no one had been here for a long time, and thick cosmic dust had piled up on the dock, burying various devices and equipment.

Seeing this, everyone in the command room glanced at each other, and they all saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

Since no one has been here, who installed and maintained the previous missile launchers?

"We ...... Would you like to go in and have a look? ”

Aurelia's voice broke the silence, she really wanted to stay here, and she would not be willing to leave without finding out.

"Let's go in and have a look." Not only her, but Yun Yi and Xiao He, the two former soldiers of the Restoration Army who lived here back then, are extremely looking forward to it. Under the control of the cloud wing, the ship approached the dock at a very low speed, and all kinds of weapons in the front section of the hull were ready, except for the most powerful main gun, which was only on standby, the other weapons should be charged and reloaded, ready for a skirmish air battle in the shortest possible time. Although everything on the dock indicates that no one has been here for a long time, they still have to be prepared.

Everything here seems so weird.

Along the way, there were no traces of the war, presumably after all these years, those wreckages were either recovered by Isseras, or they were attracted by the gravitational pull of other planets. The gravitational pull of this celestial body, where the Avenger Army base is located, is extremely small, and it is precisely because of this that it was chosen as the base of the Avenger Army. If you want to dock a warship with a very large mass, a planet with a strong gravity is very unsuitable, and if you want to get rid of gravity, a battleship must pay extremely strong energy to do so, and it is very dangerous, unless you have to, few people will land a spaceship on a planet above the standard gravity.

The interior of the base is a living and production area, due to the need for people, as early as the construction of the base, an artificial gravitational generation system was installed, within the specified range, there is a standard gravitational force for a long time, so that everything in it is like on the surface of the planet. It's just that after so many years, I don't know if the energy in it has been exhausted. There is also the artificial star luminescence device inside the celestial body, which also needs to be re-added with high-energy blocks.

The dock at the base is not very large, only equivalent to a small spaceport dock.

With the sheer size of the Aquarius, it is impossible to fit into a standard berth. Even the berths on the dock that were once used to dock the [Phoenix Sky] flagship were pitifully small compared to the size of the spaceship. After parking the spaceship near the dock, Yun Yi got up and said, "You guys are waiting for my news here, I'll go find the way first." ”

"I'll go too!" Shelufeth, of course, would not let him take risks alone, and immediately made her attitude clear.

"We can also ......" The others were about to speak, but they were stopped by Yun Yi with a gesture: "It's okay for Syrumis to go with me alone, you guys wait here." We don't know what's in the base, and your cultivation isn't enough, so even if you go, you won't be able to help. In addition, the ship's weapon system needs to be controlled by you, and if we encounter an invincible enemy, we will need your support! ”

Hearing Yun Yi say this, everyone stopped talking. They also knew that if something really happened, even if they followed in, it would be useless, and if neither Yunyi nor Xilufeth could defeat the enemy, they could only be a burden in the past, and it would affect Yunyi and the two. At the same time, their hearts are full of guilt and shame, every time they encounter something, it is the boss who takes the risk to face it, so what's the use of asking them to do it?

"You must work hard to cultivate!" In their hearts, the same goal emerged at the same time.

……

One after the other, the two mechs were ejected from the Aquarius and flew towards the silent base.

After closing the communication channel with the ship, Cloud Wing turned on the mech's internal channel.

"Nozomi."

"Yes, Brother Yun." At this time, after receiving a communication from Cloud Wing, Hiluffis knew that Cloud Wing must be going to say something to her, and also turned off the communication channel with the spaceship.

"And ...... Sakura-chan, are you there? ”

"Yes, boss. I'm among your mechs. ”

After getting a response, Yun Yi said: "I have always wanted to ask you on the spaceship before, but most of the time there are people next to me, so it is difficult to speak." Now, Nozomi, tell me how you managed to find Sakura and get her to drive the ship back? ”

"Huh?" Syrumis exclaimed, and the drumming began to beat in her heart. Yun Yi didn't ask her about it for so many days, she thought Yun Yi had forgotten, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she was raised again at this time. Although they were caught off guard, how to answer Yun Yi, Syrumis and "Sakura" had already thought of countermeasures, and immediately said: "I knew about the existence of artificial intelligence when I was in the Dragon Slayer Society before, and when I first saw such a big ship that only Brother Yun could drive alone, I guessed that there might be artificial intelligence in it." At that time, I was alone in the command room, and I wanted to save Brother Yun, so I shouted a few times with the purpose of trying it out, but I didn't expect Sakura to really appear. ”

"Is it......" Yun Yi smiled, as if he didn't care, his voice was so ordinary that Syrumis couldn't hear if he believed his words.

"So......" Yun Yi said again, "Sakura-chan, tell me, why did you leave the mecha and return to the battleship in the asteroid belt at that time?" ”

"Old ...... Boss, right...... I'm sorry. Sakura's voice was like that of a child who had made a mistake, and she stammered, "I was scared, I didn't want to die......"

The speed of the mech is very fast, and it has reached the edge of the dock by this time. Yunyi piloted the mecha to the dock, and the thick cosmic dust on the ground immediately rose up, making the surroundings of the mecha foggy. Due to the very low gravitational pull, the dust will drift in the air for a long time, and it may take a few years before it falls back to the ground.

"Forget it, now is not the time to pursue these issues." Yun Yi said softly: "Xiao Xi, Xiao Sakura, cheer up, this place is very weird, we must be careful." ”

"It's the boss." "It's Brother Yun."

After receiving a response, Cloudwing reopened the communication channel with the ship.

"Lord Xiao, we have entered the base. The dust was so thick that no one was found. ”

Xiao He's voice soon came from the channel: "Be careful, after entering the inside, first probe the entire base from the air." If there is no problem, we will organize personnel to enter the ship and send them to the dock to land. ”

"Okay, let's go inside the base. Be mindful of staying connected. ”

With that, the two mechs took off again, slowly crossing the docks and heading towards the interior of the base.

The dock harbor is built outside the celestial body, and access to the base requires a narrow passage through a not-so-long one. In the past, there was an electromagnetic track transmission line, but now, the track is buried deep under the cosmic dust, and the train without power does not know where to stop.

Passing through the tunnel, the once familiar complex of buildings appeared in front of Yunyi's eyes.

In the distance on the left, there is the former mecha training ground. Before the age of sixteen, Yunyi spent almost half of his time there.

Directly ahead, after breaking through the complex, is the residential area C. After returning from the Alien Beast Planet, Cloudwing has been living there ever since.

Residential Area C further down the base, through the square, is a magnificent and tall building. Her Majesty the Empress and Zhao Xiyue lived here.

In the distance on the right is the factory area of the base, which is responsible for the production of some simple and consumable parts, as well as weapons and ammunition, or people's production and living utensils.

……

Sitting in the mecha in mid-air, Yun Yi looked at the familiar scenes flashing on the screen, he didn't say a word, just bit his lip tightly. The old days, playing in his mind like a movie screen, are still so familiar. It's just that things are not people, but those people back then no longer exist.

"If so...... It would be nice if I could have been born ten years earlier. Parents will not die, Yun Luo will not fall into the Dragon Slayer Society, and Her Majesty the Empress will not ......"

He muttered, just piloting the mech, flying over the familiar building. Even the purpose of the trip, he seems to have forgotten.

Hiluffis, who sat in the mecha in the back, looked at everything here with curiosity. At the same time, under the tapping of her hands, all kinds of detection instruments were turned on, and the place was analyzed and reconnoitred.

After circling around the base, the two mechs stopped in the open space in the square in front of the palace.

"Xiaoxi, what are the results of the examination?"

Yunyi didn't activate any inspection system, but he knew that Syrumith would do a good job of checking it faithfully. The voice of Sheopeth soon sounded in the channel: "Boss, the results of the examination are normal, and no signals, energy sources, or lifeforms have been found. ”

"That means there's no one here......" After a moment of silence, Yun Yi said, "In that case, we might as well stay here for a few days now and see how it goes." Lord Xiao, don't organize people to board the ship first. I'm going to check the gravitational, oxygen, lighting, and other systems, and when you're sure, you'll send them along with the supplies. ”

Xiao He's voice came from his ears: "Okay, we will be on standby on the boat."

In fact, Yunyi's knowledge of the base was only superficial, and he had no idea where the life-sustaining systems were. However, with Sakura's follow, coupled with Xiao He's guidance, he quickly found the location of these devices. After a cursory examination, Sakura gave him a conclusion.

"The energy is empty, the equipment is still in good condition, and it should be ready to use."

The screen appeared [Sakura] told him the conclusion, and Yun Yi nodded, kind of understood. For devices that are not activated, Sakura will not be able to check its internal condition. Everything, the result can only be known after the energy block is sent in and the device is restarted. The results of several life-support systems were similar, with a lack of energy. After the inspection, Yun Yi thought about it and flew towards the mecha warehouse on the left side of the base.

Looking at the empty mecha warehouse, Yun Yi looked disappointed. This is where all the active and unactivated mechs of the original Restoration Army are stored, but now there is not a single part left, and even the warehouse where the scrapped mechs are stored is empty, which shows how powerful Iserath is looting.

"Boss, what are you looking for a mecha?"

Hearing Sakura's voice, Yun Yi replied: "The base's life support system has not yet been turned on, and the soldiers need to drive the mecha to carry the energy blocks and activate the various systems of the base. ”

"Aren't there so many mechs on board? It's all used by robots, but humans can drive it, right? ”

"By the way, speaking of mechs, I'd like to ask you." Yun Yi asked suddenly; "You've been in the Dragon Slayer Society for so long, do you know what damage a nuclear-powered mech can do to the human body?"

"It's not very clear, anyway, the mecha piloted by humans in the Dragon Slayer Club are all in the energy block mode."

Yun Yi nodded, it seems that [Sakura] is not very clear about this matter, maybe she left the Dragon Slayer Society too early, or possibly, the Dragon Slayer Society is extremely secretive about this kind of thing, and even the deputy god general and artificial intelligence don't know. However, Sakura's words made him think of another question, so he said, "By the way, aren't there a lot of robots in the ship, let them transport energy blocks and clean up the base......"

……

With Sakura's order, countless robots of all kinds came out of the warehouse where they were held, and after being locked up for more than a month, they finally regained their sight, and walked in a neat formation from all corners of the battleship to the internal berths of the battleship. Some of the robots leave the team and target the ship's warehouse where the high-energy blocks and mechs are stored, and they will drive the mechs to transport the huge containers full of high-energy blocks to the base dock, and then the other robots that arrive at the base dock in the spaceship will transport them to the desired location.

In the command room, whether it was Aurelia or Xiao He, or a few other people, they all looked at this scene in shock.

The impact of the picture on the screen brought them even more than the battleship under their feet. Those are all robots, robots that have been banned by all countries in the universe. If this picture spreads, the rebels will definitely be attacked by countless countries, and the entire universe will no longer have a place for them.

At the thought of such a result, Aurelia's face immediately turned extremely pale, and she stood up and said in a cold voice: "Guyi, Lorraine, follow me to the cabin at once, gather everyone together, and never let them know all this." ”

Lorraine and Gouyi would never refute Aurelia's orders, and immediately prepared to walk outside.

"Wait a minute."

The person who spoke was Xiao He, and he said with a smile: "What, scared?" ”

Aurelia turned to look at him: "Lord Xiao, don't you know that such a thing as a robot is forbidden in the whole universe, if it spreads...... I'm afraid it's not just our rebels, but even Berwick will be implicated. ”

"So what? If you don't say it, I won't say it, who will know? ”

"But...... We're not just you and me. ”

Xiao He laughed, pointed to the star map on the screen and said, "Then do you think that since they have already arrived here, can they leave here casually without our permission?" Besides, since Lord Yun released those robots, he must have already had a plan. Otherwise, with Lord Yiyun being such a cautious person, do you think this is something he did at will? ”

"This ......"

Aurelia was stunned for a moment, but her worries did not disappear: "But this ...... It's too dangerous. ”

"Forget it, there are some things I can't tell you, and when Lord Yun comes back, I believe he will explain it to you."

Aurelia thought for a moment and sat back down. But her face was still uneasy.

……

Countless mechanical armies walked out of the Aquarius ship, a small number of them flew to the base in mechs and containers full of energy blocks, while most of the rest, riding the cargo ship that Cloud Wing had stolen when they left Ponloni, entered the port berths of the base, and walked down from the ship in an extremely neat formation, walking through the dust and walking towards every corner of the base.

Robots don't have a mind of their own like Sakura, they just follow the commands they receive to complete their tasks.

Tens of thousands of mechanical armies are working in an orderly manner under the control of [Sakura], installing energy blocks, inspecting and repairing life-sustaining equipment, cleaning up dust from docks and bases, etc., extremely fast and efficient. The sky suddenly brightened as Cloudwing and Hiluffis piloted the mechs to observe the mechs in the sky. Looking at the dazzling artificial star luminous device, Yun Yi glanced at it with great nostalgia, and piloted the mecha to land on the square in front of the base palace.

Dozens of robots are cleaning up the dust here, they are cleaning robots specially used to clean all corners of the spaceship, in the shape of spiders, six mechanical legs are speeding across the ground, everywhere they go, dust and other debris are forcefully sucked into the huge belly of the spider robot, after compression, the volume will become small, and it can continue to work for about an hour before it will deal with the garbage. After a while, the wide square had been completely renewed, and there was no longer the dusty appearance it had before.

Glancing at the tall and magnificent palace, as a child, he always felt that this building was the greatest building he had ever seen, and it was the pride of mankind. And it wasn't until he walked out of the base of the Restoration Army and saw the outside world that he felt ridiculous about his views and vision at that time. However, when he returned here and looked at this building again, he still felt that it was so magnificent that even the huge palace complex of the Chu Tang Empire could not be compared to it.

"It seems that if you want to go in and have a look, you will have to wait at least two days to clean the palace." Yun Yi said to himself, and then said to the internal channel: "Xiaoxi, do you want to go to my house to sit down?" ”

"Brother Yun's family? Yes, yes. ”

For Yunyi's invitation, Syrumis was extremely happy and immediately agreed.

Wait a while, with the normal operation of the gravitational system and the oxygen system, although the oxygen is still very thin, it can already make martial arts masters like Yunyi and Xilufes leave the mecha.

The gravitational pull of the base was still very small for the time being, and Cloud Wing jumped from the mech like a leaf, and Syrumis was already waiting for him on the ground, and it seemed that she was extremely interested in visiting the place where Cloud Wing once lived. Holding Syrophys's little hand, Yun Yi took her as if no one was around her and walked in this base with only countless robots, and walked towards the residential Area C not far from the square.
