Chapter 781: Shocked to hear that a strong enemy is near
Oriel's words came out, Andari seemed to be greatly relieved, but Lan Yi, who was standing on the side, secretly pouted in his heart, once Xinyuanxing entered the four-nation teleportation array system, it would be a ridiculous thing for Xinyuanxing to want to be independent. It's not that the four countries will definitely come to invade Xinyuanxing, just the impact of a large number of advanced technologies and products is enough to completely collapse the inherent power and value system of this relatively backward planet.
Andari is not a fool, how could he not think of this problem, with one planet intervening in the civilization system composed of more than a thousand planets, it is definitely going to be integrated, however, that is a matter of the future, for Andari, what he needs to solve is the current problem, as long as Lin Shu and they are not here to occupy Xinyuan Star by force, then everything is easy to say.
Oriel naturally couldn't guess what Andari was thinking, but seeing Andari's relieved look, Oriel was also very happy, which showed that the people of Xinyuanxing were not very hostile to outsiders like themselves.
Lin Shu just watched from the sidelines, for Lin Shu, it was no problem for Xinyuan Star to choose, even if Lin Shu chose to establish a teleportation array here, he would also make an interference device in the subspace, of course, this interference device itself also has the energy supply of the teleportation array, but this little secret Oriel didn't know the way.
For the expedition team, the greatest significance of Xinyuan Star is to find a group of survivors, a surviving civilization, so that the lonely itinerary has been more varied and fun, even for everyone to relax, Lin Shu really plans to rest in Xinyuan Star, which is like an oasis in the desert.
Andari thought for a moment and said, "Miss Oriel. I see what you mean. This doesn't seem to be in a hurry. I think we both need to know more before we make a decision, right?"
Oriel smiled and nodded: "Yes, therefore, our second purpose is logical, our expedition hopes to replenish and repair in the new garden star." ”
"Does this expedition mean this spaceship?"
"No, our expedition has a total of four spaceships, with nearly 50,000 people on board. ”
Andari was slightly surprised. Mandy looked very interested.
"We agree in principle on this issue of repairs and supplies, but we still need to discuss the details, and if the spaceship appears directly in the capital, I am a little worried that the people will be disturbed. ”
"It is precisely because of this concern that we will land in this place, of course, we prefer to land directly in the capital of Xinyuan Star, so that the communication and understanding between the two sides will be more convenient, isn't it?"
Oriel looked at Andari with a smile. Andari thought for a moment and shook his head and said:
"I can't agree to this without permission, although I personally approve of it. But this requires the decision of the integrated command. ”
Oriel nodded, "I understand, we will respect your decision. ”
"So what are the supplies you need?"
"Supplies refer to water, soil and metal, alchemical materials, and of course, if it is inconvenient. ”
For active metals, Lin Shu is naturally the more the merrier, but if Xinyuan Star doesn't have it, forget it, anyway, Lin Shu will also find ways to collect metals from various meteorites along the way, as for the alchemy materials of plants, they are planted inside the spaceship, and they can basically supply the needs of the growth of the spacecraft.
"There's nothing inconvenient about this, we'll provide it as much as we can, in fact, returning to the core of the galaxy was originally a long-cherished wish of our bereaved family. ”
"Xie Lu Xie, then our requirements are these two, do you have any requirements?"
"Not for the time being, I need to contact the Integrated Command as soon as possible, I think I'd better get this matter done first. ”
Saying that, Andari stood up, sure enough, it was the vigorous and resolute character of a soldier, Lin Shu was very strange why the comprehensive command would send such a person to negotiate, maybe there was something unknown in this, but Lin Shu would not care about this.
"Wait, Mr. Andareh, since we want to improve efficiency, let's send a fast flying machine to send you back to the city, there is a communication device in it, which will definitely improve the efficiency of communication, besides, Oriel, would you like to go as an emissary?"
"Of course. ”
"Very well, then Mr. Mandy can stay, I have some things I want to ask. ”
Andari turned his head to look at Mandy, who replied without hesitation, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Boss." ”
Lin Shu smiled, turned his head to Yang Feihu and said, "You take a few people to go with Miss Oriel and take care of her safety." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Yang Feihu replied loudly, looking eager to try, Lin Shu smiled, stood up and sent Andari and Oriel to the door, and then asked Mandy to return to the table and sit down.
"Mr. Mandy, I actually took a spin on the new garden star a few days ago, and to be honest, I was a little disappointed. ”
Mandy naturally understood what Lin Shu's disappointment was for, from Oriel's words, Mandy could already hear a lot of things, the 985 spaceship was still well preserved, which at least showed that Oriel and her companions still maintained the skills of repairing and maintaining the spaceship, and these skills had been completely lost in Xinyuan Star.
"I'm ashamed, we're really ashamed compared to our predecessors!" Mandy said unabashedly, the look on his face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't hide from Lin Shu's eyes.
Lin Shu waved his hand: "I didn't mean to accuse you, I was just guessing, when your predecessors arrived on this planet, I am afraid that they were quite embarrassed, I learned from some documents in the library that it seems that the spaceship was forced to land on the planet, and the process of forced landing also caused some losses, can you tell me more about it?"
Mandy looked at Lin Shu with some curiosity, nodded and said: "There is nothing to hide, before the discovery of Xinyuan Star, our spaceship has been seriously damaged, in order to maintain the spaceship's virtual space flight, even lost a lot of strong people, the most reluctantly flew to Xinyuan Star, in fact, the landing process is also a severe test, fortunately, it did not cause too much disaster, but in this process, there are indeed many seniors who sacrificed in order to protect the clansmen." ”
Lin Shu was silent for a while, as if he was savoring the situation at that time, and then nodded after a pause: "I see, the loss of the spaceship at that time was also very large, right?"
"Yes, in addition to the main structure, a lot of parts have been destroyed, energy harvesting and conversion, databases, navigation systems, manufacturing and recovery centers, etc., many key facilities have been damaged and damaged. ”
Mandy paused, shook his head and sighed and continued: "This is also a root cause of the great regression of our skill level, the talent is gone, the data is gone, and there is a break in the inheritance of civilization, of course, this may not be the main reason, the key is that people's hearts are gone, because"
Lin Shu frowned and said, "Did you encounter any danger on the way?"
Mandy looked up at Lin Shu, nodded and said, "This is actually our top secret, and the Integrated Command has always strictly forbidden to talk about this issue, but you are not from Xinyuan Star, on the contrary, you have to leave Xinyuan Star and head into the depths of the galaxy, so I think this matter should be told to you." ”
Seeing Mandy so solemn, Lin Shu couldn't help but become cautious in his heart: "What you want to tell me won't be the news about the energy tide, right?"
"The energy tide? No, no, the energy tide was indeed a lingering shadow over our heads at that time, but so many years have passed, if the energy tide was going to come, we might have been lucky enough to avoid the energy tide, at least, we have forgotten about it. ”
Lin Shu's heart froze, Mandy glanced at Lan Yi, Lin Shu sensitively noticed it, and said, "It's okay, Mr. Mandy, please say it." ”
Mandy had a strange look on her face, as if it was fear and a deep helplessness.
"The tide of energy is terrifying, it's something that can destroy an entire galaxy, but in a way, it's just an energy, an energy that we can't fight against for the time being, but if we give us enough time, we might be able to figure it out. Therefore, the tide of energy is by no means the most terrible thing in the universe, and the most terrible thing is not the forces of nature that are not intelligent, but those that are intelligent. ”
"You mean enemies, enemies of the First Republic?"
"No, the First Republic is very powerful, so we don't have enemies in that sense, but there is a common enemy of all life in this system, the Star Ant Clan!"
Lin Shu frowned, and at the same time he was very curious, from this name, Lin Shu could think of an ant living in the universe, wouldn't it?
"What is this Star Ant Clan?
Mandy smiled bitterly: "No, it's not ants, but a similar kind of advanced creatures, they wander the universe in the form of swarms, these star ant tribes have limited intelligence, and the only purpose of their survival is to reproduce, so they will consume everything they see, I mean there are things, as long as they are material, they will eat them, and then forge huge nests, continue to reproduce, divide nests, and then spread to the entire universe." ”
"Is this a creature?"
"Yes, a creature that does not look like ants, but lives like ants, and the most terrifying thing is that they can eat stars!"
Lin Shu grew his mouth in surprise: "Eat the stars? How can they eat this? Can they resist such a high temperature?"
Mandy laughed, but his trees didn't feel the slightest hint of a smile from his smile, only a heavy chill.
"No, of course they can't withstand that much heat, but you underestimate their numbers, how do you feel when you see these star ants surround the star with their secretions, and then slowly cool it down and eat it?"
Lin Shu didn't say anything for a long time, how many numbers does this take? How big does the ant nest have to be to live in these star ants? Imagine the overwhelming scene, Lin Shu does have a chilling feeling, this is really a little scary, eating the stars, this is really too! (To be continued......
