"We need a base."

When she got up early in the morning, Pandora staggered to my room and said this to me with a rare happy expression.

"The spaceship will start to synchronize in a while, and I'm waiting for my brother on the upper platform, and my brother will love the surprise."

I glanced at the sunny Pandora in a daze, and then pinched the other party's soft little face, with an extremely puzzled expression: "Why are you so happy today?" ”

Pandora took something out of her small pocket and said in an indifferent tone, "Spoils of war." ”

As soon as I looked at the familiar object, I was immediately shocked:

"You stole the lollipop that Little Bubbles hid again!?"

It's really a shocking morning, after seeing the lollipop in Pandora's hand that can be called a lollisphere artifact, I suddenly feel that the sky is thundering, a huge "embarrassment" word shining with dazzling golden light is rising from the east, and the usually serious and old-fashioned Pandora has now produced such a childish daily habit in the confrontation with Little Bubbles, which is really ......

Should I cry or laugh now?

I laughed and coaxed the triumphant Pandora away, and then began to look all over the Sky Fortress - well, it should be a normal ground fortress now, we had landed in the mountains west of the Wraithlands - looking for the little bubbles, if I guessed correctly, the little one should still be looking around for the candy he had hidden, and if I hadn't found and coaxed her in thirty minutes, I'd have had a busy day......

Little Bubbles is really well-behaved in normal times, but there are exceptions to everything, she really wants to cry that is no less powerful than any ordinary little Lori who cries after throwing away the candy, to take care of such a daughter who is still far from growing up, I have a huge Ya pear.

So, it's really hard to raise children......

Eventually, I found the little bubble in a very strange place - inside the space engine at the bottom of the fortress, the little guy was lying on the maintenance tunnel of the sixth energy corridor of the main engine sleeping in the dark, drooling with his fingers, and thanks to the future chief building engineer of the Empire, the entire space jump system of the fortress was shut down due to the safety lock......

I've always thought that Little Bubble has a magical ability that we can't understand but does exist, and that is to be able to appear in any place you can't imagine at any time, such as sneaking silently into the command room of a meeting, such as appearing in a rumbling military factory workshop, such as dangling into an arsenal with eleven safety locks. You can never imagine how this little fool, who can't even distinguish between his left and right hands, can enter these military restricted areas all the way unimpeded to these military restricted areas where even a fly has to show a pass to enter, and the Apostle of Xiling, who is usually responsible for taking care of the little bubbles temporarily, always reports to me that in the blink of an eye, the little princess already knows where to run, and then it won't be long before a corner you can't think of will report the discovery of a little girl who is lost and wandering.

It's quite a supernatural event.

But in this way, compared to sitting in the missile storage room with the bear in his arms, Bubble is really nothing to sleep in the maintenance tunnel of the giant engine now......

It seems that Little Bubbles still doesn't know that the candy she treasured has been stolen by Pandora as trophies, so she can sleep so soundly, I carefully held her in my arms, left the giant engine that is said to be the main part of the body is a full four hundred meters in diameter, and then walked quickly to the upper passage of the fortress, in the morning Pandora told me to build a base, I estimate that there will be a good show to watch in a while, the technology of the Xiling Empire can always bring me a lot of surprises.

As for Little Bubbles, this little guy's memory is sometimes really bad, as long as she wakes up and spends a while with her, she will forget what she has lost, which really saves me a lot of trouble.

When I came to the upper platform of the fortress with the little bubble that was still asleep and began to drool over me, I saw that a lot of people had gathered here, including the envoys of various ethnic groups with serious and nervous expressions, and a few high-ranking people from Xiling who were pointing at me like an aunt buying vegetables in the market, and other big people were already waiting there, as if I was alone.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

I stepped forward with an apologetic smile, but I didn't expect that the establishment of the outpost would require me to watch the ceremony in person, so why didn't anyone inform me?

Lin Xue, who was obviously a little impatient, glanced at me and said angrily: "Don't be sentimental, no one is waiting for you, we are waiting for the synchronization of the spacecraft to be completed." ”

…… It seems that in this life, I don't have to expect this girl to save face when she can learn to speak.

At this time, because of the change in the surrounding environment, the little bubble also woke up in advance, and the little guy opened his eyes and saw that there were so many more people nearby, and immediately happily stretched out his little arms and legs and waved them back and forth, although I didn't know what she thought, I still put the little guy down.

As soon as they landed, Little Bubbles immediately ran towards the two long-lasting luminaries, Alaya and Anvina, calling out for a hug, and the latter immediately folded their wings and weakened the light to reveal an expression like a great enemy—this was almost their standard reaction when they saw Little Bubble.

"What about Pandora?" I looked around, only to see that Pandora, who was supposed to be waiting here, was nowhere to be seen, along with her lieutenants, Sivis and Bubbles.

With her usual soft smile, my sister nodded slightly and said, "Pandora, they are in the control center of the fortress, and they are in the process of synchronous dispatch and command. ”

Once again, I realized that I had been in a state of listening to the heavens—the technical jargon of these professions was really incomprehensible, even though it was something that the original Apostle of Hilin was supposed to be born with.

"What is synchronization?" I asked with a rather sincere and unashamed expression, and at the same time cast my gaze into the distance, and then I realized that when our spaceship landed, it was not arranged according to the standard ship parking phalanx, but carried out another kind of profound planning, in front of me, various large ship-level ships were regularly distributed throughout the valley and the nearby small hilly area, with the fortress as the center to form a loosely structured array, even a military novice like me could see it, This is not at all any arrangement that is suitable for the parking of the ship.

"That's a bit complicated," Sandora leaned over, "I guess you don't have the patience to study them, just watch them for a while, the Empire isn't known as the most powerful civilization at war." ”

Just when I was still pondering the word "synchronization" and obviously guessing what the meaning of the independently arranged motherships in front of me was, a soft female voice suddenly resounded throughout the platform: "The cluster scheduling has been completed, the synchronization has reached 100%, and the base has been deployed." ”

"Here we go." Sandora whispered in my ear, with obvious pride in her tone.

Then, I heard a low roar first coming from the depths of the ground beneath my feet, and then, as if in response to the call, all the ships in the entire valley area let out such a suppressed roar.

Inevitably, there was a little commotion among the envoys of the various clans beside us, for they did not know what kind of miracle they were about to witness, and the excitement and a hint of inexplicable awe made these well-informed people feel a little uncontrollable.

The low roar continued for about a dozen seconds, and then I felt the ground beneath my feet begin to shake violently.

I don't know what kind of changes have happened to the fortress at the foot of the road, but I can roughly guess what happened from the sight in front of me.

The hulls of those huge motherships are gradually opening, the hideous main guns and huge engines shrink back to the folding space at their bottom one by one, and all kinds of equipment that should not appear on the combat spaceship are exposed from their original ingenious hidden corners in this large-scale transformation, and the original combat modules on the mothership continue to undergo complex displacement and splicing, and finally form a new functional structure, and tall towers and workshops slowly rise from the interior of the mothership in a dazzling deformation and reorganization. The torrent of nanobots with amazing efficiency spread out from the bottom of each spaceship, rapidly changing the shape of every ground it flowed through, forming a solid metal ground and a wide runway in just a few minutes, and the "builders" who had already been produced by the bubble and were ready began to install lighting equipment and warning probes that could be quickly arranged in every corner of the new home, and after ten minutes, the roar of the mothership's deformation gradually stopped, and another strange roar gradually sounded- It was the sound of various military factories and functional buildings running at full power.

I could no longer see a massive battleship parked in the midst of rocks and hills, only a magnificent base covered in silver-gray that dominated the vast valley with a colossal presence.

"The enemy won't give us time to build a base," Sandora's happy voice woke me up from my stupor, "so I have already built the base long before I set off, and those necessary military buildings are integrated inside each accompanying mothership, and more extended functional buildings are built and rebuilt by bubbles during the journey, and the core of this fortress under our feet is actually a small Xiling brood, which has been in normal operation long before our army landed, how about it, Haven't you been shocked? ”
