"What's that?" Zhao Xu asked, pointing to the huge mecha.

"Pioneers. Cortana replied, and the ship slowly descended under her control, and the huge mech's ice-blue eyes glanced at the ship, nodded, and saluted - it was too badly damaged to stand up and salute.

On its fuselage, there are countless mechanical spiders of the kind that Zhao Xu rode just now, slowly repairing its damage.

"The Pioneers are the combat-type silicon-based beings I created to open up the territory," Cortana said, "In the past four years, I have created a total of 38 such Pioneers, 12 of which are still alive, and all the rest cannot be repaired - the following one is being rescued, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be saved, its external injuries are not serious, but the core has been damaged." ”

"......" Zhao Xu nodded wordlessly, although this "pioneer" was lying on the foundation in tatters, it could still be seen that it was originally powerful, if it was on the earth, Zhao Xu believed that it could completely grasp the aircraft carrier as a brick and smash it to play.

Looking at the various unaware weapon systems it carries, you can see that its firepower output is very terrifying, and it is difficult for Zhao Xu to imagine what kind of thing can destroy it like this.

"Do you see that high mountain in the south?" The spacecraft turned slightly, so that Zhao Xu could see more clearly, in order to show the best effect, the scenery in the distance was magnified three times, and with the satellite map, Zhao Xu saw a complete 3D mountain range, rotating on the display screen in the front window of the spaceship.

"The pioneer below was struck down at the foot of this mountain. Cortana's voice was a little annoyed, "There is an ore in this mountain range that is rare even on this planet, which can be refined into a special metal, I need this metal to build a base, so I sent a lot of unmanned probes to prospect, who knows that they all have gone and never returned, I judged that there was some high-level demon beast there, so I sent this pioneer to destroy it, but it only lasted 10 minutes before falling." ”

"According to the battle video, we saw that the ambush of the pioneer was not a monster, but a humanoid creature with three arms, they have learned to mine and refine metal by themselves, they refine that rare metal into balls, and then use incredible force to throw those metal balls like cannonballs, even the children inside can penetrate the armor of the pioneers!" Cortana said, and played the battle scene at that time.

Zhao Xu saw a group of creatures about the same size as humans, with short lower limbs, well-developed upper limbs, three arms on their shoulders, a human-like face, a mouth full of fangs, and the skin of their whole body was red and black, painted with various mineral oil paints.

They run like softball players for a while, waving their three arms like wheels, throwing dark gold metal balls out, even the guy who looks more than a meter tall like a child can directly throw a sonic boom, and the data on the screen shows that the initial velocity of the metal ball thrown by the child directly reached Mach 6.5!

It was only the children who threw it, and the metal balls thrown by the strong adults could not even be seen.

The nearly 1,000-meter-high pioneer was too big to avoid such a close-range high-speed impact, and was directly "shot".

If it was just an ordinary alloy ball of Mach 6.5, the pioneer was of course not afraid at all, but these special metals could not only ignore its energy field shield that was immune to nuclear strikes, but also had an incredible "armor-piercing" effect, which was hit with hundreds of penetrating injuries in a single round.

Of course, the pioneers are not easy to mess with, all kinds of high-energy weapons are launched almost at the same time, not to mention all kinds of high-power laser weapons, plasma plasma cannons directly ionize half of the air in the sky.

The side of the mountain near the Pioneers was melted into magma, and hundreds of such fierce monsters were vaporized, and although they were agile and powerful, their defenses were pitifully small.

But these humanoid monsters are not only fearless of death, but also very numerous, and the hundreds of sacrifices have aroused their fighting spirit, so more violent blows fell like raindrops, and the pioneers couldn't hold it anymore and knelt directly.

So, it's not so much that the Pioneers were defeated by those humanoid monsters as they were by the rare metal, which is why Cortana is so greedy for the mine.

"This is just one of the small battlegrounds that we are facing at the base. Cortana said, and another battle scene played, where two red pioneers joined forces and wrestled with a giant beast:

The size of the giant beast was by no means inferior to that of a pioneer, and it was still surpassed, this guy had a trunk and head like a cow, limbs like a praying mantis, and its whole body seemed to be composed of black rocks, and its forearms like a sickle struck out like lightning, and it actually flattened the top of a large mountain!

Fortunately, the energy shields of the two pioneers were powerful enough to not be killed in an instant, but they also had no power to fight back at all - all the weapons hit this giant beast, and the mountains and rivers next to it would explode, as if some unexplained law was protecting it, allowing the surrounding environment to bear the damage for it.

......

Cortana fast-forwarded the video, it should have been a long, long fight, and the two pioneers failed to grind the monster to death, but were grinded to death by the monster.

After the victory, the monster did not stop, and even attacked the capital of the Nine Days once, and the capital of the Nine Days at that time had not yet built a defense system, so it was directly trampled on, and then walked away.

Next, Cortana released a video of what appeared to be an unmanned aerial vehicle, carrying a high-definition camera soaring above the clouds to reconnoitre.

The clouds were suddenly dispersed by something, and a giant beast that couldn't see the whole picture clearly appeared in the camera - one of its wings was the size of the entire cloud, and the beautiful cloud just now was just the water vapor condensed on this guy's wings!

The picture came to an abrupt end, and you can imagine the fate of the drone.

"Although these dangerous creatures are powerful, they are still within my range, and the following footage taken by a near-Earth satellite is even more incredible. After Cortana finished speaking, another image appeared on the screen.

Three spheres brighter than ordinary stars broke through the atmosphere and came into space.

Through the filter, you can see the silhouette of a bird faintly flashing in these glittering spheres.

According to the probe, although they are not large, each of them is only one-tenth the size of the moon, but they are all steady-state nuclear fusions.

In other words, astronomically speaking, they are real small stars.

However, in the Earthly universe, there is a lower limit to the mass of the star, which is 0.08 solar masses.

It is simply impossible for these three small stars to reach this magnitude, and how it is self-sustaining has piqued Cortana's interest.

However, in the next second, three silver rays of light appeared in the video, piercing through the three small stars like sharp arrows, and then they actually fell!

Zhao Xu was also a little shocked and a little confused this time: this scene ...... It's like Hou Yi shooting the sun, but isn't it said that it shoots the 9th? Why are there only 3?
