209 Baptist
By the time the curved space was restored to its original state, the scene around the Gray Gu Mothership had changed. The aging red dwarf star in the center of the galaxy has been replaced by a young, vigorous orange-white star that glows brightly.
Terra humans often have the misconception that galaxies in the universe are all single-star systems as stable as the solar system, but in fact, the solar system is a special case.
Single-star systems are quite rare in the vast galaxy, and binary star systems and even triple stars are the absolute mainstream. Humans, on the other hand, are more inclined to find a home in a stable single star system because they are born in the solar system.
Therefore, if a habitable planet in the Milky Way is found in a single star system, it is highly likely to be a colony of human civilization.
It is such a galaxy that Russell has come to now.
"The sulphur galaxy, located in the northwest of the Klenna sector, has 2 gas giants, 1 rocky planet, 3 dwarf stars, and 1 habitable planet that has been transformed into a nest... No. B-211, it is an important source of raw materials for the Karenna sector.
Several of the system's dwarf stars contain abundant deposits of metal, which are controlled by the Order of Mechanics.
The planet B-211, designated B-211, is known for its ability to produce a high-purity crystal 'sulfur fluorescent' with special properties......"
Since the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet had just passed through the Krenna sector not long ago, Grey Wind had more detailed information about the system.
Maintaining the psionic stealth field, Grey Wind sailed in the direction of B-211 as he continued to say to Russell, "The special sulfur crystal can be used to amplify the creation of laser focusing arrays, increasing the penetration efficiency and weapon power of laser weapons. Well...... Is this property closer to 'rare crystal'? ”
Due to the ability to produce sulfur fluorescent crystals and a certain STC unique to the region, the laser weapons made by the Klenna Sector are significantly more powerful and stable than similar weapons, and are very popular among the Imperial Army.
But it is also because of the sulfur crystal that the Imperial Ministry of Taxation has been leviing heavy taxes here. The tithe rate of B-211 is the heaviest even in the Klenna sector, which is known for its heavy taxes.
For powerful weapons, the human empire will always have an insatiable need.
"The star in the center of the sulphur galaxy is young and strong, and the light is overwhelming, so the habitable zone of the galaxy is very far away from the inner ring of the galaxy, and the B-211 nest is the outermost of all the planets in the galaxy. We'll see it right away. ”
Gray Wind retracted her lively and delicate voice and stopped talking, Russell supported her chin with one hand, and a depressing planet with a bronze color came into view.
Although the gray Gu mothership is large, but there is a gray wind that burns dust at any cost to maintain a psionic stealth field, and their arrival is not caught by any monitoring stations or patrol fleets, Russell can carefully study the planet in front of him without worrying about revealing his whereabouts:
The B-211 nest is a bit larger than Nifol, about 1.6 times the size of Holy Terra, but the mass is not much different, as it is a semi-hollow planet.
As soon as the bronze old planet appeared in front of Russell, his attention was firmly drawn to a rift on the planet, which was so large and deep that it almost ran through the entire southern hemisphere, and could be clearly seen even in space.
Four space elevators emerge from the rift and plunge into space, transporting the precious ore excavated from the depths of the earth by countless slaves to the starport in orbit.
"The Human Empire slit the carotid artery of B-211, and blood was constantly released from it to quench the hunger and thirst of war." Russell said slowly: "I see that countless threads of fate extend and converge on this planet, entangled, entangled, and tied into dead knots. ”
Grey Wind listened to the Marshal's Divine Stick as he looked past the ancient planet with deep scars in front of him and looked into the inner ring of the galaxy.
This distance is a bit reluctant to look at with the naked eye, but the view of the gray Gu mothership is unobstructed.
"Marshal, I see something strange looming floating in the center of the sulphur galaxy, near the star, but I can't see it clearly with conventional sensors...... I'll look at the psionic sensor array instead. ”
Gray Wind said, quickly changing the detection method:
"This time, it looks like a weird space station! It resembles some kind of transparent space jellyfish, cruising around the stars......"
"Dimensional anchors." Russell said lightly: "The dimensional anchor of the Boundary Breaker, they have occupied this galaxy and nailed the space-time here with the dimensional anchor. ”
But along the way, he didn't see the Boundary-Breaker's fleet...... Is it attacking other galaxies?
Russell gathered his attention and looked at the nearby B-211 nest. He could see that a large number of different threads of fate were still entangled in the Rift, and it seemed that while the naval fleet was consumed by the Boundary-Breakers, the ground forces of the Human Empire were still stubbornly resisting in the Great Rift.
"Grey Wind."
"I'm here, what do you need me to do?"
"I'm going down to that rift valley to see what's going on, and the threads of fate are so different that they can tie knots...... This is still very rare. Russell stood up as he spoke, and prepared to leave: "During my time on B-211, I need you to search the surrounding galaxies for traces of the Boundary Breakers and to determine if the Dark Angel's Monastery of Great Stone is still in Pluto. ”
Gray Wind was anxious: "I, can I split a sub-process and go with you?" ”
Russell looked at her and didn't speak, as if he was trying to explain why he was acting the way he did, but it was obviously a little difficult, and it took a while to spit out one word: "Good." ”
"Okay......" Gray Wind puffed out his cheeks, and his originally lively spirit drooped down in frustration.
He smiled apologetically at Grey Wind and turned to walk into the cabin of the Grey Gu Mothership.
A few minutes later, the Grey Mothership started its jump engine in stealth and left the Sulphur Glowing Galaxy. She was in a hurry, thinking that the sooner she completed the task, the sooner she could return to him.
At the same time, at the end of the No. 2 orbital elevator in B-211's nest capital, in an orbital starport paralyzed by the war, a wave of psionic water rippled out.
The waves cleared, and a tactical humanoid covered in silver gray appeared on the rusty floor.
If a monk from the Order of Truth is here, it is easy to recognize, and this 3-meter-tall silver-gray armor has a lot in common with the 'scholar' mobile armor worn by the Night Knight and the 'lobbyist' mecha worn by the Spirit Banshee.
Scholars focus on protection and heavy firepower, lobbyists emphasize lightness and mobility, and the armor that Russell now wears takes a middle ground between the two.
Mobile armor of the "Baptist" type. The armor skeleton is made of spirit bones, and the strength of the spirit bones depends on the strength of the wearer's psionic energy; Coated with Zero Element Armor and a Nano Repair System, it is equipped with a small Void Shield and a portable Dark Matter Deflection Shield, powered by 3 Zero Point Reactors.
The suit of armor, known as the Baptist, had been designed for a long time, and she had a deep understanding of Russell's strength and weakness, so she had always wanted him to ascend mechanically.
If you don't want to soar, you might as well wear armor, so as not to suddenly rise up like today and die in waves.
"Am I that unreliable......" Russell laughed and tried to take a step forward, feeling the fit of the Baptist's armor with his body.
There was a loud bang, and the rusty floor beneath his feet collapsed.
