"Ruined?! Empress, this... Are you sure?! ”

After listening to the empress's words, the black-haired woman's eyes darkened, and she said with some hesitation, "But in this way, then our achievements and all our previous efforts will be in vain!" ”

After speaking, her sadness seemed to be uncontrollable, and a few crystals slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Her name was Nina, and she was a personal attendant who followed the Empress.

As Her Majesty's closest person, she deeply understands how important the database information stored in the research ship is to the Empress.

Countless observations have been made, and there may be potential psionic entities in many star fields, as well as data on various planets, and the resources within the planets.

All of this is stored in the huge data that comes with the research ship.

This is the culmination of their efforts for nearly ten years and at the cost of many team members of the research ship.

This information is so large that there is no way to copy it completely for a while.

"Na'er, you've been with me for so long, you should know what I'm thinking now."

The blonde girl sighed, she glanced at the big fireball in the sky, her beautiful eyes were cold, and the spiritual energy around her body became more and more intense.

"I, Ji Qianxing, even if I die, I won't let the orthodox technology and future of the empire fall into the hands of those soft-footed shrimp!"

Rumble!

After saying that, the spiritual energy in her body began to surge towards the interior of Nan Rendong's research ship.

Click, click, click

Under the influence of the girl's spiritual energy, some of the facilities inside this scientific research ship gradually emitted an overwhelmed sound.

The core huge database stored in it is gradually beginning to crumble.

Looking at the scientific research ship in front of her whose shell was covered with vicissitudes, the blonde girl's eyes were slightly red.

This ship has been following her for nearly a decade, and it is the only active armed research ship left in the empire thousands of years ago.

It can be said that the scientific and technological level of this scientific research ship far exceeds the current "immortal empire", and even all the civilizations in the entire galaxy.

Now, however, it is officially coming to an end.

As a research ship, it has been sailing for so long in the banished star field full of psionic entity crises.

It has done its best.

Originally, the Empress thought she could wait to search and rescue her fleet.

But unexpectedly, what was waiting for them was an enemy who wanted to invade their AI firewall and was good at camouflage!

She was unwilling, unwilling to travel by herself for ten years, and after struggling for so long in the banishment of the star field, the fruits of these explorations were reduced to the wedding clothes of others.

"I'm sorry, Nan Rendong-senpai."

Thinking of this, Ji Qianxing thought silently in his heart.

There was guilt in her eyes.

The research ship is named after the scientist who led them to escape the curse of reincarnation thousands of years ago.

The scientist once said that the whole civilization should be revived.

But now... Both the scientist and the ship have become the dust of history.

Perhaps, it won't be long before "immortality" will cease to be "immortality".

Rumble!

With a roar coming from inside the cabin, Ji Qianxing raised his head and turned around and left quickly.

"Let's go, Nina, get out of here, don't let them find it!"

Accompanied by Ji Qianxing's words, it fell.

In the distance, in the sky, the huge destroyer has also completely entered the atmosphere!

[Master, the other party's AI electromagnetic signal is detected and disappears, is it intrusive? 】

In the cabin, the robot avatar of Mother Duck appeared on Wan Jie's computer screen.

"Huh? Their AI is gone? ”

Wan Jie looked stunned, what was the empress doing, did she smoke the AI's motherboard?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Try access." ”

"Yes, master. 】

Mother Duck's avatar began to flicker.

Soon, bursts of red light flashed on the screen.

[Access successful! 】

[The intelligent AI module of the scientific research ship module was detected, and it is suspected that the motherboard has been taken away.] 】

【Warning! It was detected that 90% of the internal hull of the research ship was damaged, 70% of the shell armor was damaged, and the internal facilities were all out of order. 】

【Warning! The power engine of the research ship has been completely destroyed, unknown components have been detected, and suspected high-level civilization weapons have been detected. 】

"Advanced civilization weapons? Is this an armed research ship? ”

Wan Jie was slightly startled, could it be that the current level of military science and technology of the "Immortal Empire" was still at the level of hegemony in the past?

How is this possible?

But before he could think about it, the duck mother read the prompt again.

[Psychic remnants were detected, and it is inferred that the damage was intentional by humans.] 】

【Warning! The internal core has been corrupted, the database has been corrupted! 】

"Database corruption?"

Hearing this, Wan Jie suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Psionic remains? Did the empress do it? She's not going to destroy her own database, is she?! ”

Their main goal here is to banish the star map of the star field.

And in the database of the research ship, there will definitely be such a thing.

"I just want a star map, why is it so difficult."

Wan Jie was a little speechless.

He already thought of the scene where the woman deliberately destroyed the database.

Combined with the appearance shown in the other party's previous communication, Wan Jie had every reason to believe that the other party really regarded him as a traitor within the empire, so he decided not to leave him anything.

Now, with only one ship left, how do you find her?

Boom Boom –

Soon, the entire destroyer landed on the land of this planet.

"Mother Duck, hurry up and let people go to the research ship to see if they can find anyone!"

As soon as the spaceship landed, Wan Jie spoke.

Soon, with the command from the mother duck.

The crews of the caravan inside the destroyer began to disembark one after another and ran in the direction of the abandoned scientific research ship.

But it's a pity.

Wait until the crowd comes here.

The interior of the research ship has long since been reduced to ruins.

"Did you find the star map?"

"No, didn't Lord 'God' say that the star map is in this place?"

"Look for it again! The research ships have been discovered, and the guidance of the 'gods' is not wrong! ”

The crew looked at each other, and according to the guidance of the 'gods', they had indeed found a research ship here.

But inside, there is no 'so-called' star map.

Not only that, but many of the things inside were still sparking, and it looked like they had just been destroyed.

"Did you really ruin everything and run away?"

And at this moment, Wan Jie, who followed all the crew out of the cabin, was dumbfounded.

Did that empress do such a terrible thing, if the scientific research ship was gone, how would she go back?

You know, if she's really an empress and lives on this planet.

Then you want to revive the empire again.

It's something that can't be said to be possible.

After all, how could a person with just one scientific research ship revive an entire civilization?
