This is the assembly platform of the base, next to the take-off and landing platform where we landed, as the largest flat area of the asteroid fortification complex, this place is completely cast from silver-gray imperial alloy, and the ground is etched with the emblem of the New Federation of Eden and the imperial coat of arms.

With smooth building surfaces, alloy armor plates that have just been grown by nano builders, air combat robots that have been assembled before they can be activated, and spotless crystal matrices, the lifeless base is full of new sensations that make people feel extremely incongruous.

We had been in contact with this base once before we set sail, but now only twelve hours have passed, and the base has been abandoned due to attack, and even the garrison here has disappeared completely, what is going on here?

"Ten percent power is still here," Viska said from the Psychic Connection, who had just emerged from an unenclosed functional building in front of her, pulling at her messy hair, "the few beacons that still have warning lights, powered by the spare Protos Crystal Tower, that luckily dodged the attack, and provided teleportation coordinates for the Void Wanderers, I've transferred their energy to the artificial gravity generator, and it will be activated in about ten minutes, The residual crystal energy can maintain gravity for twelve hours, and the heroic spirits who are not used to the space environment can be a little easier. ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on one person.

The antenna on the head of the Dumb Hair King suddenly straightened: "I...... I'm just not used to this feeling of helplessness, and as a knight, I'm supposed to fight on the ground......"

Before she could finish speaking, Bediwell floated gracefully from the front, noticing Saber's gaze, who immediately straightened up in the air and gave a knightly salute as steady as a mountain: "My king." ”

"People always have what they are good at and what they are not good at," I saw that Artoria's hair was rolled up, and immediately stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder, "Go back and go out with Sandora to eat overlord meals, and if you have time to learn basic physics, you will always get better......"

Anyway, before I finished speaking, Saber had already made me fly, and she really needed more practice.

Originally, it was impossible for such a guy who couldn't learn to fight without gravity to participate in this operation, but the pride of the Knight King didn't allow her to hide in a safe spaceship in a daze against a colossus because she couldn't stand up straight on the battlefield, and the Lion King came over like a fart in the name of familiarity after almost stalking the worst of the way, but now it seems that Saber has a long way to go before learning to walk in space, before that, Unable to use her swordsmanship, she can only honestly serve as her own space battery - firing one cannon is like the Long March 7 to fly more than 100 kilometers, and then being dragged back by the towing ship to fire the second cannon.

Fortunately, at this time, the artificial gravity that saved lives was finally restored, and seeing Artoria, who was about to float out of the assembly platform and fly towards the sea of stars, danced in the air and fell to the edge of the platform, Sister R next to me immediately sighed in disappointment: her chains are ready, just waiting to throw shuttle darts to tie people up.

Sister R is now completely bad.

"The damage to the base is not great," Viska took the lead in front of us, as the strongest person in the military profession on the scene, the little girl can finally be superior, "The destroyed sentry guns and laser batteries show that they were all put into battle in time when the enemy appeared, and some battleship fragments collected nearby and the scars on the front of the base show that the enemy's main force is not too close here, but because the base is not yet fully built, the energy shield output is insufficient, plus the enemy may have super weapons, The defensive barrier was breached first with the base's firepower intact, and then, a little bit of bad luck—"

Viska pointed to two small dots in the distance, where two asteroids had flown away from the complex, and the alloy skeletons connected to the main body of the base had been blown off the front, and then thrown out of the jab, possibly colliding with something else in between, and finally turned into two unlucky eggs with rapid spins.

"The Ghost Reactor was hit head-on...... Those idiots...... Give them so much technology, but the imitation they made is still at such a level, and they can't even copy the Reactor Technique in different time and space......"

Stay in your mouth, my precious sister, not all races can use the quantum brain as a daily computing tool.

The power area of the base has been fragmented, and there may be a large dose of ghost energy leaking, there can be no survivors, and several Heroic Spirit teams that followed us down were divided into three directions, respectively to investigate the storage area, living area and armed production area of the base, the bonus from the Temple of the Tree of the World Realm gave them a higher sensitivity than the Xiling Life Detection Device, and we moved closer to the command center in the center of the base, the golden pyramid-shaped building, the Star Spirit Hub did not seem to be seriously damaged, Maybe there's something worth collecting in there.

"The base has not been completely destroyed, but the most critical buildings have been destroyed," Viska released a faint red light from his blood-red cat pupils, which seemed to be scanning the structure of the surrounding buildings, "There is no sign of overload in the conventional energy pipeline, and so far there has been no sign of a large-scale landing of the base by the enemy, the troops stationed here should have successfully driven away the first wave of enemies, but after discovering that the base was inoperable and its location was exposed, they took it upon themselves to retreat, and they took almost everything they could take away...... Well? ”

Suddenly Viska noticed something, ran to the front as fast as he could, and then ran back with something the size of a water tank.

"Protos's probe seems to be broken, but there are no scars on the surface, and the builder may still remember something."

The little guy had an excited expression on his face, and his height of one meter two looked light when he held a "water tank" almost as big as her, and then threw the latter to the ground roughly, and my sister and I suddenly felt a shaking under our feet.

…… It's just not bad, it should be about the same at this time, this girl is really used to those monster machines produced by the empire.

As the most important daily work unit, the probe made by Protos has naturally undergone the transformation of Xiling Technology, but it is all an internal improvement of the AI system and energy system, their appearance is still so simple and round, the front half is a variety of industrial ray focusing prisms like big eyes, a fat alloy belly in the middle, and the tail is an anti-gravity device and thruster, Viska is now lying in front of its big eyes, holding the shiny focusing prism with his small hands, and pulling it out.

This violent *** didn't have time to study the protos's superficial autobots, she just detected that the latter's memory core was near her head, and she just wanted to find the closest way to dig the latter out.

"Hey, girl, be careful not to break ......"

I hurriedly stepped forward to stop Visk's violent dismantling, and suddenly, the "eyes" of the probe suddenly lit up.

A stream of blue-white high-energy matter hit Viska head-on before I could react, and the latter's little head suddenly tilted back more than ninety degrees, and the little girl's stiff and stiff movements suddenly stiffened.

It was still a moment when I didn't react, and Viska, who had been suddenly attacked, just recovered his posture and pulled out of a sweeping leg, and suddenly, the entire prism part of the probe machine was shot out.

A solution to good violence.

"Hey, I knew that this kind of idiot AI was unreliable," Viska muttered, reaching out and pulling a triangular crystal block out of the squeaky and smoking probe head, and twisting his face to show it off at me, "Hee-hee, brother, this is not bad...... Huh? What's wrong? ”

Should I remind her to look in the mirror?

I was hit by a particle gun for self-defense.,Although it didn't break the defense.,But it's completely dark.

"Wow" Viska finally realized that his little face was probably the same color as the background of the universe, and hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped it, "Damn...... That thing's attack is too low, and the autoshield doesn't activate at all...... I didn't expect it to be like this......"

Ah, a face that can resist particle guns, and you don't even bother to activate the shield, Visk, are you forcing me to complain?

and my sister wiped Viska's black little face one by one, and in the end, it just made the little girl change her face, and I don't know what the principle of the attack just now was, and it was quite impressive if it wasn't very powerful.

By the way, Visk's face feels really good, it's soft, if you don't remind it, no one would think that this thing is something that can resist armor-piercing bullets.

"Alright, now look at what this abominable probe has recorded."

Like a grumpy child, Viska wiped his black and white face vigorously, holding the removed memory core in his hand, and without seeing her make any other movements, the memory core lit up on its own.

A few seconds passed, and there was no movement.

“…… Hmm, brother, wait a minute, this is coded in the Protos language, and I'll ...... the next compatibility pack."

It turns out that the constant sound of "beeping beep" in your stomach since just now is because of this?

"Alright" Viska downloaded the language library from the Void Wanderer's console, and finally parsed the memory of the broken crystal, "I'll take a look...... Spaceships, motley armies, pirate attacks, nothing seems to be of value...... Well, the last thing is that I was hit by some kind of space weapon, and the shield was overloaded, and the pirate group here is quite powerful...... Brother, this base is being attacked by local pirates."

Pirate? Pirates who can afford space weapons? How good it is to have this strength to build a country

Viska tossed around the poor memory core for at least five minutes, until the latter turned gaseous in a flash of light, and all its information was finally extracted, and the probe witnessed the whole process of the base being attacked by a large mixed fleet, but the latter was not sure if it was a pirate or not - there was no difference between the pirates and the government army in this world, and at the end of the memory, the probe recorded an order for the entire army to retreat, as if the garrison here had found a safe new base, But it was at that moment that the probe plane was destroyed, and the location of the final withdrawal of the army here has not been recorded, and it may not be so easy to find other memories, the intact things in the base have been removed, and the rest is a little tattered.

A tall figure landed as light as the wind, and Medusa, who had gone to explore the settlement, returned.

"There was a smell of blood and death, but no bodies were found."

Sister Zi Changzhi reported a little discouraged, and behind her, followed by a group of grizzled heroic spirits.

"We dug up a hollowed-out asteroid," Sister R's mouth turned up slightly, "but I ran out in time"

Hey, your teammates are obviously buried, right? Even if you know that the heroic spirit will not be so simple and get injured, you will give me a little bit of a leader's consciousness, okay?

"As a woman, if you're dirty, doesn't it affect your image?" In the face of my complaint, Sister R turned her head unnaturally, and then faced a dirty cat face under the upper slope, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "General Viska is very sorry, please don't mind what I just said to myself"

"It's the same with the storage area and the armed production area, there are no bodies, no wreckage, and the evacuation is clean," the other two groups of Heroes also rushed back, and their findings were much the same, "All the buildings are now empty shells, and everything that can be moved has been moved." ”

"Well, if it was a strategic shift after repelling the enemy, they would definitely take everything they could, and the bodies of their comrades would definitely not be left in the abandoned base, there was nothing, and there was no sign of the base building being violently opened, at least it meant that the rest of the people were retreating in an orderly manner under safe conditions, but, it's a little strange," I looked around at the dark and dead asteroid complex, and the few building lights that were still in operation distorted everything strangely, "Even if you abandon the base, They should have reported to the rear, too, but the Ellight hadn't received any communication at all, and there was no password left here to explain their whereabouts, so didn't those garrisons know that we would be there soon before they left? ”

"Who knows," my sister drew circles on the ground, "there is nothing left, there is no way to investigate, what are the evacuated exploration troops doing......

"Well, what's that, sister," I watched with a little trepidation as my sister kept drawing circles on the alloy floor, feeling that the temperature around me was probably approaching absolute zero, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Destroy this place for a while.,By the way, release a chain curse.,Let the guys who have attacked here suffer bad luck.,Well,I'm not very skilled.,The actual effect and success rate can't be guaranteed.,And I don't know how the aliens breed offspring......"

Seeing my sister all covered in black mist and saying such creepy words in a light and breezy tone, even Medea, who was known as the witch, staggered out ten meters away, with an expression of "good Kapa, the people of the empire are really good Kapa", and I was eager to know that it was all about the way people reproduction, my simple and gentle sister in the past, what are you cursing now......

At this moment, Sakura's voice suddenly sounded in the communication link, with a little nervousness: "This is the communication tower, this is the communication tower...... There's a small ship approaching, it's targeting this base, should the operation be terminated? ”

"Spaceship?" My sister stood up, "Are you sure there's only one small spaceship?" ”

"Well, it has just jumped out thousands of kilometers away, and its body length is only about five hundred meters, according to your classification, it should be regarded as a small spaceship, the target speed is not fast, but it will definitely be able to come to the sky above the base within two hours."

"Don't be busy attacking yet," I was also very curious about a lonely small spaceship that suddenly appeared at this time, and I didn't know what the other party was about, so I immediately ordered, "The Void Wanderer sank into the folds of space, and the Heroic Spirits in the abandoned base turned invisible, let's see what the other party is doing." ”

A minute later, we were all invisible, hiding in the corners and waiting for the unknown ship.

Just as Sakura had reported, it was about two hours before the slow ship finally appeared.

"It's a ...... break"

This is my sister's first sigh.

Looking at the rectangular spacecraft that was stumbling on the landing platform to find a landing spot, as if some of the engines were still a little malfunctioning, I couldn't agree more.

It doesn't matter if the hull is a little damaged, it should be baptized by war, and some traces of transformation can also be ignored, anyway, this spaceship is a hodgepodge of various technologies, but - the two large armor plates on the belly of the broken spaceship are obviously not the same color as the surroundings, right? One of the eight engines in two rows behind the ass is obviously not igniting anymore, right? The iron sheet that waives at the stern against the wind (if there is a wind) is definitely not designed to be so, is it?

And I don't know if it's an illusion, but in the pile of antennas in the middle of the hull, there seems to be one or ...... Or is it tied to a bracket with wire?

Can this weird thing really go into space? How did you get out of the atmosphere? What's more – is this thing really a jump? The pilot of the spaceship over there, apologize to the physicist of the universe

"I ...... I need to re-evaluate the technological creativity of those inferior races," Viska stared blankly at the rectangular spaceship that looked as thick as a large slice of bread, especially its antenna tied to the bracket with wire, "The battle-damaged ships we retrained are stronger than this, how did it break away from gravity?" ”

When we were embarrassed, the ragged spaceship, which was almost challenging the bottom limit of technology, finally completed its landing, and it took fifteen minutes to find a balance, which was enough for others to beat it into honeycomb coal on the battlefield, and the moment I saw this scene, I came to the conclusion: the enemy in front of me was definitely not the enemy who had attacked this base, otherwise I would have to shoot the exploration teams stationed here one by one when I searched for deep space.

In this cruel universe, there are such strange spaceships that dare to go to the dust alone, I immediately lost my hostility towards them, and then patted Viska on the head: "Girl, try to listen to their contact channel." ”

"The invasion has been successful a long time ago," Viska squinted, his little face rubbing a cloud of dust on my pants, "it's so easy, that kind of unguarded communication equipment, I'm afraid you can listen directly to it with an FM radio......"

Hey, that's over......
