As the transport ships shuttling back and forth in the starry sky transported batch after batch of battle puppets to this dark red planet, it didn't take long for the steel army belonging to Gu Fan to complete the assembly.

This is a war legion composed of 10,000 battle puppets and an entire war group of more than 1,000 Iron Guards, and the huge scale looks very impressive.

However, although it seems to be a lot in terms of numbers, it is still somewhat stretched to take on the defense and blockade of all seven mines and the entire industrial base.

Not to mention the size of the entire base, the main entrance of the mine in front of me alone is enough for a Poisonblade Super Heavy Tank to drive into it, and a lot of branch routes have been carved out inside.

After handing over the defense of the ground to Macardo, Gu Fan focused his attention on the tunnel in front of him where the attacker had been found, because the other party had a dangerous stance weapon in his hand, and those figures always gave him a familiar feeling.

Gu Fan did not choose to send troops at the first time, in order to find out the internal environment of the tunnel and the true identity of the attacker, he only saw that he threw a spherical electronic container into the dark mine.

It contains an ant-sized nanoworm that, once released, is capable of replicating itself like cells, making it ideal for scouting complex environments such as caves.

Not long after, as the nano insect swarm continued to extend towards the cave, the picture transmitted back to Gu Fan's eyes gradually showed him a huge and complex underground kingdom.

Gu Fan found that in the mine tunnels mined by Makado's engineering team, there were also many hidden and tortuous narrow passages, which looked like naturally formed karst caves at first glance.

But as the nanoworms continued to go deeper, things began to look a little wrong, and some traces of man-made excavation began to appear in some of the tunnels.

At the same time, in some places, ancient characters that have been painted with gold dust have even been found, and judging from the state of the gold dust, it seems that it has only been left for a short time.

Looking at those ancient inscriptions with a strong ritual style, Gu Fan always felt that he must have seen this damn thing somewhere, because looking at it always gave birth to a trace of inexplicable nausea in his heart, and for a moment he only heard him ask towards the snow wind on the side.

"Can you identify the source of these words?"

Right now, Gu Fan's right hand is gently pinching the back of Xue Feng's neck, where there is Xue Feng's nerve sensor, Gu Fan can use this to share the picture captured by the nanoworm with the other party.

"The system is retrieving ......"

I don't know how long I've been waiting, but Xue Feng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head.

"Well, through a comparative search of the database, it has been found that the content of the paper "The Influence of the Forging Faith Culture of the Gaoshan People on Their Scientific and Technological Process" is consistent with it."

The moment he heard this name, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in Gu Fan's mind, making him almost scream for a while.

At this moment, Gu Fan seemed to remember why those figures, their fighting methods, and the few runes carved in the pit would give him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

[Isn't this TMD my graduation thesis that I prepared at school!] 】

The name of the article obviously evoked the most unpleasant memories in Gu Fan's heart, and for a while, countless negative emotions began to gradually spread in his heart, and he could feel that his soul was screaming, twisting, and squirming darkly......

Looking at the petite figure of the other party, he only heard him ask a little uneasily.

"Where the hell did you get this from......

Facing Gu Fan's question, Xue Feng slowly turned around, and her already thin body looked even weaker when she was wearing power armor, like some kind of small animal.

"I deliberately collected and preserved it, and I want to learn about your past through these ways."

At this moment, I saw Xue Feng put her hand behind her back, as if she sensed the unhappiness in the other party's heart, she looked up at Gu Fan in front of her like a child who had done something wrong, and her burgundy pupils shook slightly.

"You don't like that, do you......?"

For a moment, Gu Fan sighed slightly.

"Not really, but thanks to your reminder, I probably know what they are by now."

The Alpine Clan, or Dwarf Orcs, are a fierce, moody and intelligent race that once formed an alliance with humans as they tried to unify the galaxy.

According to some strange rumors, these eccentric creatures temporarily put aside their hostility to human envoys just because of a few cases of craft spirits, and successfully concluded the Alpine Pact with the human race in a series of activities, showing endless enthusiasm and kindness for the existence of humans.

In Gu Fan's cognition, those short and sturdy dwarf beasts worship a unique rune forging culture, which leads them to be extremely obsessed with all kinds of sophisticated mechanical structures and huge engineering creations, and the scientific and technological achievements in these aspects can even amaze some anthropologists.

For example, the power armor of the human has been based on some of the design ideas of the other side, but in other aspects except for heavy industry, these dwarf orcs are very backward.

Despite their heavy drinking, their brewing techniques were not as advanced as those of humans, and the first agreement that these orcs proposed after making an alliance with humans was the introduction of alcohol.

However, such an interesting race was wiped out at its height by a catastrophe for varying reasons, and when the human fleet rushed to help, their home was being consumed by several energy entities.

One theory claims that it was the ancient saints, the enemies of humanity, who tricked them into signing a contract with a special being in order to completely eliminate the threat of the dwarves, which ultimately led to the terrible price of these tendoned dwarves, and it was precisely because the fate of these allies strengthened the resistance of humans to psionic powers.

Every time he thought of this, Gu Fan's mood was very complicated, because before his thesis was completely written, almost all of these dwarves had ascended to heaven, which brought him quite a lot of trouble at the beginning.

In a moment, as the nanoworms went deeper and deeper, more and more dwarf beast artifacts were gradually displayed in front of Gu Fan's eyes, if there was no accident, it should be a certain group of dwarves who had escaped by luck and established a refuge on the edge of the galaxy.

It seems that these dwarf orcs still retain a lot of ancient technology, thinking of this, looking at the unfinished engineering base around them, an interesting idea gradually emerged in Gu Fan's heart.
