Outpost.

"Sir, the other party replied. What's next? ”

"Enforce the third type of contact response method prescribed by the Empire, and send our language packs to the other side. Then try to establish communication with the other party. ”

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, the Darkstar received a packet containing a self-translation system, and the powerful shipboard AI completed the translation in just a dozen seconds.

The packet contains the lingua franca of the Empire, English. and the communication channel of Outpost 103, through which the Dark Star can establish communication with the Outpost.

It's just that the packets don't contain the Demaxian Empire's star map and network license agreement that they want most, and the outpost director is cautious and only sends packets with limited information.

It seems that if they want to get these, the three of them can only get them themselves.

In the Darkstar's hangar, Blue Feather boarded a Stellarwind fighter, activated its ion engine, and used its gravitational catapult stance to sail to the outpost shrouded in the shadow of the battleship.

The sentinels breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the giant ship accept the packet and send a communication request, and the stationmaster immediately set up operations on the main control panel, ready to establish communication.

However, once communication is established, Darkstar's brain will be able to link to the opponent's computer, crack the opponent's firewall, and gain control of the entire outpost. Find what you're looking for from the database.

He dreamed beautifully that if he could become the first person to come into contact with civilizations outside the river system, he would definitely become the star of the entire empire, be in the limelight, and become the dream lover of the girls in the core star field.

Maybe the empire will also be able to connect with the other side because of this, carry out cultural exchanges between the two sides, and obtain a lot of scientific and technological assistance. As the promoter of all this, he can also soar, and one day become a cardinal general, or even become the successor of the empire.

It's just that this dream of his will soon become a nightmare.

Outside the outpost window, the Stellar Wind fighter flashed by, ready to land on the tarmac. The fighter plane's plasma engine stirs up space dust that falls on the surface of an asteroid.

The water ice and ammonia ice on the asteroid that had been frozen for an unknown number of billions of years melted for the first time, and then were evaporated by the plasma tail flame in an instant, and the water vapor automatically condensed into water droplets on the porthole.

The stationmaster did not let his guard down, but turned on the monitoring system and closely watched everything that was happening on the tarmac.

The cockpit of the Stellar Wind Fighter slowly opened, and the sentinels stared at the steaming hatch in order to engrave the appearance of the fairy in their minds.

Out of the cockpit came a ...... Mankind?

The sentinels were dumbfounded, they originally thought that the other party would be a robot, a renegade artificial intelligence, a tentacle monster or a deep sea monster fish or something, but they never expected the other party

"Stationmaster, are you mistaken, the other party is obviously a human. I have the feeling that this giant ship should be the capital ship that the Empire has secretly built. It's just that the design style, weapons and equipment have been completely renovated. ”

"Don't say anything else, it's quite handsome, I'm a little tempted." A female soldier became a nymphomaniac.

"Stupid!" The stationmaster knocked on the two of them lightly, "With the other party's level of technology, is it difficult to pretend to be us?" ”

"Yes."

Lan Yu walked towards step by step

Suddenly, the gate to the outpost opened! Although protected by a wall of air that prevents air from leaking into the universe, the cold of the Oort cloud still seeps in, making the people at the outpost shiver.

"What's the matter, who told you to open the door?" The stationmaster asked.

"Sir, I didn't do it, I opened the door myself without doing anything."

Is the door fine? This is impossible, and the only explanation is that the other party has hacked into their control system and breached the firewall so fast that the system has no time to raise an alarm.

How high is the level of technology of the other party?

Lan Yu wore a space flight suit and walked in slowly.

Message from the Darkstar: "Captain, we've hacked into the outpost's database, retrieved all of its information, and deleted records of the Darkstar. But the other party's memories need your help to deal with them, otherwise our whereabouts will be revealed. ”

Lan Yu nodded, then turned his head to look at the sentries and asked directly, "Who is the supreme commander here?" ”

The officers and men of the outpost slowly pushed back, leaving the stationmaster in front of them.

Who knows what the aliens are going to do, to capture people back into their giant spaceship for inhumane experiments? Or are you going to capture the thief and capture the king first?

Cold sweat broke out on the stationmaster's back, and he asked cautiously, "You?" What's the point? ”

"We need this outpost to help us!"

The stationmaster's heart was pounding: "I am honored to help friends who have come from afar, I have no intention of offending, just curious." Is it your ship that is damaged and needs urgent repairs? Or do you need our help if your navigation system is malfunctioning? Or are you running out of supplies and need a batch of paste? ”

"If it's the first two, I can introduce you to the upper echelons of the Empire, and the hospitable Empire will welcome you. If it's the latter, we've got a batch of pastes here, and you can take them all. ”

"It's not."

"Then you are a powerful and civilized mission, and you have come to establish diplomatic relations with the Empire?"

"Not either!"

"That?"

Lan Yu directly interrupted the other party's words: "I'll make a long story short, we're just passing through here. You now have two choices: one is to engage us in pointless fire, and then all of you will die. The second is to erase the memory of today, return to hibernation in the hibernation chamber, and wait for the empire to rescue you. ”

"Of course, we'll use this outpost's system to send a call for help to your superiors, so don't worry."

The stationmaster was relieved when he heard this, it seemed that the other party was really just passing by. It's my group that sees things that shouldn't be seen.

The sentinels said in unison, "Let's choose two." ”

After all, it's just a job, so why lose your life for it.

"It's just that if we do that, we will be severely punished."

"Rest assured, we'll disguise this place as the scene of a cosmic natural disaster, and our technology can do that."

Lan Yu didn't want to kill people, he didn't plan to do things too desperately, after all, the people in this outpost had no grievances against them. 、

He activated a weakened version of "Honkai", and the power of entropy probed into their brains, pinpointing today's memories and disrupting them all.

The sentinels were dizzy, and one by one they passed out to the ground.

This kind of memory erasure is intrinsic and cannot be restored by any psychotherapy or instrument. And Lan Yu's control over the power of entropy has reached a new level, and the sequelae of the victim is only intermittent headaches for ten days and a half months.

After doing all this, Lan Yu stretched and prepared to start working.
