Where exactly did humanity go.

At least in the database of the Star Fortress, Gu Fan was not able to find the relevant answers, except for a civilization star map updated 1300 years ago.

Fortresses or starports, where important facilities are usually displayed in the form of points of light, like twinkling stars.

In the past, it was under the protection of these [stars] that human civilization was able to develop steadily.

Gu Fan can still remember the scene when he first saw the civilization star map in the military academy.

The brilliance of the Milky Way left a deep impression on him, and the pride of being a human being rose in his heart.

But now that the network has been cut off, there is nothing left on the huge civilization star map in front of me.

"A049 reports, the fortress self-inspection has ended."

In the empty command room, the girl's voice echoed, and at this moment she was sitting obediently on the operating table in front of Gu Fan, and a thumb-thick cable was inserted into the interface behind her neck.

"The main function of the fortress is still 87% ......"

"Core reserve energy for 371 years of operation......"

"More than 73% of the ammunition reserve ......"

Gu Fan listened carefully to the report about the girl, the functions of the base are still very intact, and there is no need to worry about the material reserves that can be used for survival.

It sounds like if it weren't for the fact that the sun was about to reach the end of his life, it seemed that he could stay in the fortress and be accompanied by the AI until he died of old age.

Thinking of this, he sighed a little helplessly.

"Have the intruders been identified?"

"Based on genetic characteristics, there is a 98% probability that the invaders will be Emma."

Emma people? Hearing this unfamiliar racial term, Gu Fan lowered his head and thought for a long time, if nothing else, those alien creatures that looked like humans should be a completely new race.

It seems that during his sleep, this universe has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is obviously impossible to know what has happened in the past two thousand years in a short period of time.

By this time, Gu Fan had already made a general judgment of his current situation and the difficulties he was going to face.

First of all, it is imperative to leave this dead star cemetery before the sun turns into a white dwarf, and his time is not as rich as he imagined.

To escape, you'll need a spaceship.

"Is there a way to get that command ship moving, we need it."

According to the girl, there is an abandoned Glory Queen-class command ship moored near the fortress, although it is also a new model that Gu Fan does not understand, but after all, he is from a military academy, and with the assistance of AI, it may not be difficult to drive it out of the solar system.

Hearing the order, the other party did not speak, but silently closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, under Gu Fan's gaze, in the turbid asteroid belt in the distance, a huge projection was slowly moving.

Like a heavily armed knight, the golden eagle emblem at the bow of the ship shone brightly in the sun as it lifted through the fog and emerged from the haze of planetary debris.

It wasn't until it was getting closer to the fortress that Gu Fan really realized what kind of behemoth he was looking at, and it was not too much to call it a moving space city.

In front of him, the armor of the Queen of Glory class had obviously withstood a large amount of firepower, and some parts had been severely damaged, revealing the internal structure wrapped in shields.

However, judging from the attitude of the ship just driving, these injuries should not have caused too serious an impact.

As for the specific situation, it needs to be checked in detail.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan stood up and called out the girl's code name.

“A049......”

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and after getting up, Gu Fan looked at the calm-looking girl in front of him and thought for a long time, and a strange idea gradually appeared in his heart.

"Speaking of which, I'd like to give you a simple name, it's a bit too much trouble to always use a code name."

The other party was obviously puzzled by such a proposal, and only saw that the girl tilted her head and then jumped off the operating table.

Her long, gray-white hair fluttered in the air, reminiscent of snow flying in the wind.

Looking at the flashing white shadow, Gu Fan opened his mouth thoughtfully.

"Snow ......"

"Why don't you just call you Xuefeng?"

As he spoke, Gu Fan stretched out his hand and picked up a strand of the girl's white hair, probably because of the long-term exposure to the sun, so it showed such a unique color.

"No objection, please ask whether the original code name A049 is covered and replaced by Xuefeng."

"Confirm."

Gu Fan's answer was very simple, he still preferred a meaningful name to a string of cold numeric codes.

This will give him a bit of a sense of intimacy.

......

......

Relying on the shuttle in the fortress, the two quickly boarded the battleship moored in front of the fortress and entered its command core with the help of an elevator.

In the command hall that was enough to accommodate a hundred people, as Gu Fan entered, the central control computer of the Queen of Glory took the initiative to light up the screen, as if welcoming his arrival.

"Snow Wind, start taking over the control of the ship, execute it immediately."

For humans born in the golden age, AI has long been an indispensable and important technology.

Take a warship as an example, an AI with powerful computing power can control and coordinate the system of the entire ship on its own.

From navigation fire control, to the lights in the corridors and even the coffee machine in the crew's quarters.

Everything is in the hands of AI, and they are often better at handling details than humans.

As Xuefeng connected the nerve terminal to the Glory Queen-level central control computer, thousands of screens recording all kinds of data began to beat wildly in the console.

With the flickering lights in the hall, the steel behemoth seemed to be slowly awakening.

But only for a few moments.

"Yikes!"

For some reason, the wailing of the snow wind was heard from the side.

The nerve bundle connected to the central control was popped out, and she sat on the ground weakly, as if she was unconscious.

This sudden scene obviously surprised Gu Fan, and then rushed to the other party's side with an arrow step.

"How's it going?"

He wanted to reach out and help Xue Feng who was sitting on the ground, but the moment his fingertips touched the artificial skin, the huge heat on the other party's body made him instinctively retract his hand.

Her body was like a piece of red-hot charcoal......

Xue Feng, who was slumped on the floor, let out a light gasp of discomfort, and the coolant in her body quickly evaporated into dew, condensing on her red skin, and at a glance it was actually a sweaty and pitiful appearance.

Is it overloaded?

Looking at the snow wind in front of him, Gu Fan understood that there was usually only one reason for such a situation.

Her body was filled with the steel beast's vast and intricate data, and the overflow of data overloaded her brain.

Fortunately, the Queen of Glory noticed the strangeness of the snow wind in time and took the initiative to cut off the link, otherwise she would definitely be broken.

This situation is obviously a bit beyond Gu Fan's expectations, as a military-level fortress defense AI, Xue Feng can obviously easily control the defense system of the three star fortresses.

But why is there such an incredible problem on a battleship?

It seems that this steel behemoth is not as simple as it seems.

To this end, he decided to find out the truth himself.

......

......

It didn't take long for Gu Fan to discover the cause of the overload after checking the data link of the Queen of Glory.

"I didn't expect this kind of thing to be hidden here......"

According to the data, there are several Iron Man legions in the Glory Queen's storage warehouse.

And that's not all, the ...... that sleeps on the lower deck with the Legion

There are also a total of four Warlord-level Titans.
