Chapter 12: It's a counteroffensive
"Papapa~"
The sound of a shoe stepping on a metal floor pulled Xia Lian out of his memory.
Xia Lian came back to his senses from his memories, and he looked at the end of the corridor, where two women and a man approached in the dark.
Their hair was all white, and they wore close-fitting black tights from the neck down, with some strange energy patterns on them, showing off their figures.
There was armor in some places, but it didn't seem to be as protective as the exoskeleton armor worn by the people around Xia Lian.
A white-haired woman at the head was holding a head in her hand, and her head was still connected to her spine, and the blood was dripping on the ground, which was very bloody, and it seemed that it should be the people who had just escaped.
They are the real elite troops of the Helios family, their name is Circe, and they are a kind of cyborg life, and after the ban on artificial intelligence, such a transhuman army gradually emerged.
Their gray hair is not actually hair, but a high-efficiency fiber-like heat dissipation device.
Of course, under normal conditions, this cooling device is completely useless, but when the internal energy source is overclocked, the hair will emit a stream of particles and bring out the excess heat.
For both men and women, their feet look like they're wearing high heels, which makes their calves look even more aesthetically pleasing.
Of course, they weren't heels, or they weren't wearing shoes.
Mechanically speaking, the main force of the foot is the arch and toes and the muscles on them.
Their arches and toes were retained in the remodeling, replaced with high-strength alloys, and their muscles were replaced with efficient mechanics to save volume.
In layman's terms, the excess meat is removed and then wrapped in a special metal to look like high heels.
The contact area between the foot and the contact surface is smaller, resulting in greater pressure, stronger grip, and stronger movement, and can perform many difficult movements that humans cannot do.
In addition, there are bionic eyes, bionic ears, artificial organs, and bodily fluids that filter deadly toxins and provide oxygen for hours in a single breath.
If it was this kind of transformed person who had just come here, Xia Lian would have to wait for death.
The reason why Xia Lian's father died in this life was also because of the rebellion of some reformed people.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm late and wasted some time cleaning up traitors." The white-haired woman at the head came to Xia Lian's side and said.
Her name is Mercury, and she used to be his mother's personal guard, and before coming to Cangxing, she was arranged by his mother to be by his side.
At this moment, if the other party is a traitor, Xia Lian is now dead.
Therefore, whether the other party is an enemy or not is not within Xia Lian's consideration, he can only choose to believe.
Xia Lian bowed his head, and then said.
"Let's talk as we go."
With that, he took the lead and walked into the depths of this corridor.
The rest followed him without hesitation.
Mercury stood beside Xia Lian and said.
"Those traitors are not using Helios technology, they are not Circe, they are probably spies who have infiltrated us, and someone has leaked our identification code, so that it has led to a miscalculation.
The fleet is facing the enemy, the Helios field of the star protector has been shattered, and the Bahram family has been manipulating the shield generator in advance when they leave.
The enemy inside the base is basically cleared, and the ground forces are meeting the enemy, who have blocked the Ansebo communications and seem to want to keep us all here. ”
"Then it looks like we're going to have to break through." Xia Lian muttered softly.
Wang Zhen said on the other side of Xia Lian: "The fleet must have been ambushed on the shipping route to the principality.
We might as well go in the opposite direction in the direction of the Galactic Republic or the New Federation and the Atlantic star in Andromeda, which all have wormholes.
We can go back to the principality through the wormhole there. ”
Mercury thought for a moment and nodded, "It's feasible, we have a lot of foreign exchange in the Star Sea and the New Federation.
The payment voucher is the genetic code of the Helios family. ”
But Shalian shook his head, "The Atrumans can't believe it, although the Republic and the United States have trade with the Empire, they regard the people of the Empire as imaginary enemies.
We are now in the past, and the possibility of being used as a bargaining chip to influence the empire is very high, at least, we will have to wait for the rumors to pass. ”
"What about us...."
Before the words fell, they had already walked to the location of the hangar, where there was also a starship docked, with a fuselage length of about 165 meters and a wingspan of 330 meters.
The wing adopts a wing-body fusion and tailless flying wing configuration, with the leading edge of the wing intersecting at the nose and the trailing edge of the wing being zigzag, which is aerodynamic.
This is a medium stealth assault ship with a deck of twelve floors.
Optical and radar stealth are the standard configuration of almost every starship, but under the detectors of the interstellar age, these stealths can only deceive low-level civilizations.
The ship uses the latest phase stealth technology, which is an extension of space technology, and the existing detection system is almost invisible, of course, it is easy to detect once the weapon system and the speed of light are used.
At this moment, there were already people waiting for them at the entrance of the starship.
They boarded the plane through the entrance lowered by the starship and entered the control room through the elevator.
The exoskeleton armor team that followed Xia Lian was the operator of the main control room of this starship, so this starship moved quickly.
At the same time, the hangar door overhead slowly opened, revealing the planet's sky, and the anti-gravity system quickly activated, and the starship instantly broke through gravity and flew into the cosmic starry sky.
The starship was about three hundred and forty-two when it was full, but some of them died under the first onslaught of the enemy.
Some of them are still fighting the enemy at the moment, and the rest are staff such as maintenance personnel and technicians who have never been off a starship when they landed on this planet, and there are about a hundred people.
It was Xia Lian's father who took this situation into account, just in case he prepared to be able to evacuate in time.
He wasn't unaware of the dangers of the trip.
However, according to the imperial constitution, the territory of the principality is sacrosanct, and it is impossible for the Bahram family to invade their territory at the risk of violating the constitution.
However, it was only after the oath of the image of the Emperor on this planet that the land truly belonged to Helios de jure, and until then, the planet still belonged to Bahram.
Xia Lian could already think of Bahram Gong's words when facing public opinion in the empire later:
"Cangxing is the land of the Bahram family, and the Duchy of Helios has seized our land by force, which is against the Constitution! We are fighting back in self-defense according to the law! ”
Of course, the really smart people obviously don't believe Bahram Gong's nonsense, but the truth has always been written by the victors.
When everyone in the Helios family kept their mouths shut and didn't deny it, it naturally became true.
So, before that, he had to live.....
Xia Lian had walked past the starship's control room, but at this moment, the memories of the two lives were merging, and when he looked at the control room from a twenty-first-century perspective, everything in front of him was extremely new to him.
Not to mention the projection screens on the operating table around them, or the star map floating in the air in the middle, which seems to have shrunk the Milky Way countless times, let's talk about the scenery around them.
In many science fiction works, the way in which the body manipulates people to observe the universe is generally through a transparent aluminum similar to glass.
But from the outside, the starship doesn't have any viewing windows, even the vents are hidden, but the view inside is unusually wide.
The entire console, which is about fifteen meters in diameter, floats in the air as if it is uncovered, looking down at the endless ocean of the planet, looking up at the clear blue sky and white clouds, and above the clouds, the light emitted by the starship's light cannon.
And Xia Lian stood on the command platform, with his hands behind his back and looking up at the scene above, as he stared, the picture in front of him was rapidly approaching, and the scene of the entire extraterrestrial battlefield was revealed in front of everyone.
Due to the lack of timely preparation, their fleet was not at all an order of magnitude with the opponent's fleet, and the huge starship group under black pressure looked particularly desperate.
Xia Lian came back to his senses and ordered to the manipulators on the platform.
"Enter the faster-than-light speed, and break through to the east first."
"Yes, the fairway is being calculated .... Expect to take three minutes ....."
"I don't have time to do the math for you."
"But..... We didn't go this route, in case we hit a star....."
"I'll make the choice for you."
As he spoke, Xia Lian directly stepped forward and pulled the control device on the virtual screen panel in front of him to the end.
The hidden pulse device behind the starship measured up the azure light, and Xia Lian could clearly feel a thrust that carried the entire starship forward quickly for a distance.
The space and starlight around them were stretched and distorted, and they seemed to enter a unique dimensional dimension, moving forward at an astonishing speed.
"Where are you going?" Mercury asked.
Xia Lian didn't answer her words, but continued to ask the manipulator.
"Has mass field interference been detected?"
"No, but phase stealth will have subtle spatial fluctuations after entering the speed of light, and the enemy will definitely chase after it."
Xia Lian's eyes flickered, and he bowed his head.
"Six light-light years later, drop a space concussion bomb to distract the enemy, and then turn to the north."
"Yes."
Mercury thought for a moment and said, "That's the direction of the Atrumans, you want to borrow the wormhole of the Atrumans?" ”
Xia Lian was speechless.
Mercury stared at him, and suddenly thought of something, and there was a rare slight fluctuation on his calm face.
"You, want to fight back?"
"Fight back?"
Xia Lian looked into the distance, with a slight sharpness in his eyes.
"It's a counteroffensive ......"
