Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Crack..."

With a "click", the door of the bedroom opened.

Li Meng walked out naked,

Before taking two steps, golden light surged, and a golden robe suddenly appeared on Li Meng's body.

After taking two more steps, the space in front of him twisted, and the portal to the subspace opened again.

……

S-01981 star system.

"Wang, after all, they are alien races and cannot be trusted. You should pay more attention to dealing with them."

After more than a month, the third ship finally arrived at the S-01981 star system again.

This time, the dimensional submarine of the Titan Empire did not hide, but stopped beside the star gate.

Turning his head and glanced at Captain Mullen beside him, Li Meng said, "I know it well..."

Mullen lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, the transport boat is ready and waiting at Harbor No. [-]."

Without saying anything, Li Meng turned around and walked out of the bridge.

After about 10 minute...

A "V3" transport boat flew out of the No. [-] harbor gate on the left side of the No. [-] ship, and flew towards the pyramid spaceship not far away.

"Li Meng, have you forged the parts of the Stargate?"

As soon as he left the "transport boat", Li Meng saw a person in the harbor outside.

it's lily...

As she asked, she squatted down and stretched out her right hand.

Stepping on Lily's fingers, Li Meng stepped onto her palm.

"The parts are already on the way, and it will take about half a month to arrive..."

There are not many missing parts of the star gate, and it will probably consume about a thousand tons of Sikkim.

The star gate is not a one-time product, and the star gate is self-destructed at the minimum cost to prevent the blue devil from parasitizing.

It will not be so troublesome to repair when you want to use it again.

Li Meng didn't even involve the Terra Empire in this matter, and handed it over to the federal government.

It is only about a thousand tons of Sikkim, and the federal government still has this reserve.

Moreover, the design drawing given by Nishizawa is not a precision gadget, and there is no problem in forging the module.

Lily asked curiously: "Then what are you doing now?"

"Confirm some things..."

Confirm something?
Lily stopped in her tracks and said with great interest, "Ask me. I know a lot of things. I don't need to go to the teacher. The teacher is tinkering with the communication device. If you want to see the teacher, you have to wait for a long time."

Li Meng asked, "What happened?"

Moving forward, Lily said while walking: "A few days ago, the teacher lost contact with "Gaia". It is necessary to increase the power of the communication device and strengthen the signal strength of the communication, but unfortunately it failed, not to mention the failure to contact "Gaia".

Gaia?

These two words were also mentioned from his mouth when he met Caesar for the first time.

Li Meng asked again: "Miss Lily, is "Gaia" the planetary shield that traps the brood consciousness?"

Walking into the conference room where she had her first meeting with Nishizawa, Lily put her hands on the table.

After stepping down from Lily's hand, Li Meng turned around and looked at the huge Lily in front of him.

Sitting on the metal seat, Lily nodded and said: "Well, that's it. It is the nanotechnology left by the ancestors. It is a set of defense systems composed of countless nanoforce field robots connected in parallel. They can absorb the energy of any situation. Such as light energy, and radiant energy that is ubiquitous in the universe.”

Capable of absorbing energy from any situation?
This ability alone is enough to prove how high the technological content of "Gaia" is.

Li Meng asked again: "Then how much do you know about the forbidden area?"

After thinking about it, Lily said with some uncertainty: "Probably...maybe, you know everything you need to know."

Speaking of this, Lily stared at the little Li Meng on the table in front of her, and asked, "Li Meng, what do you want to know?"

"Lily, you're talking nonsense again..."

Li Meng was about to ask a question, but Caesar walked in at this moment.

Seeing the teacher coming, Lily quickly sat up straight.

She said unconvinced: "Teacher, I'm not talking nonsense, I know a lot of things in the forbidden area..."

At the main seat, Caesar sat down.

Ignoring Lily's unconvinced gaze, Caesar looked at Li Meng on the table in front of Lily.

"We met again. This time you came, you must want to know more about the forbidden area from me."

Li Meng nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not just for this reason. I'm here this time to confirm one thing from Your Excellency."

One thing for sure from him?

Taking a deep look at Li Meng, Caesar said, "Please tell me!"

Not being polite, Li Meng asked: "If the brood consciousness breaks free from the shackles of "Gaia", what impact will it have on the Titan Empire?"

The Titan star field is not in the S sector, but in the universe on the other side of the star gate.

Although the distance from the S star sector is unknown, it is at least thousands, or even tens of thousands of light-years away.

The Titan Empire is far away in the depths of the starry sky. No matter how powerful the Blue Devil is, even if the brood consciousness can break through the cage, in a short period of time, the Titan Empire does not need to worry about the threat of the Blue Devil.

Hearing this, the expression on Caesar's face became serious.

He said: "To be honest, the Blue Devils have a deep connection with the Titan Empire. Once the Blue Devils wake up, no matter how far the empire is from the forbidden area, they will find us one day. And this day will not come too late. It is also one of the reasons why the empire cares so much about the situation in the forbidden area, otherwise, we would not take the risk of traveling thousands of light-years into the forbidden area in an unstable dimensional submarine."

Is it really so...

Caesar's answer undoubtedly confirmed what Li Meng had guessed in his heart.

Caesar asked again: "Guest from afar, what did you find?"

Li Meng's question made Caesar realize this.

You must have discovered something before you can confirm something from him.

Li Meng said without changing his face: "The ghost clan will not appear in the forbidden area for no reason. They are here, and they are the mortal enemy of the Titan Empire. Don't you realize that their purpose may be related to those trapped by "Gaia"?" Is it related to brood consciousness?"

Hearing this, Caesar frowned slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.

He shook his head and said: "No, it's impossible. What good is it to them to release the brood consciousness? The blue devil is the enemy of all life. The meaning of their existence is to devour all life. Once the blue devil is released, it will destroy all life races in the galaxy. disasters, even alien civilizations are not excluded.”

Li Meng didn't refute Caesar, but just asked, "If there is no external help, can the brood consciousness break through the cage by itself?"

Caesar shook his head again and said: "There is absolutely no such possibility. "Gaia" can absorb any form of energy. Energy attacks will only recharge "Gaia" and make "Gaia" stronger. For hundreds of thousands of years , the blue devil has been called by the brood consciousness many times to go to the "Titan Star" to attack "Gaia", but in the end it was in vain. Those parasitic warships had to fall into dormancy due to exhaustion of energy. In such a situation, In the historical records of the empire, it has appeared several times. Each time the empire sent scientific research ships to the forbidden area for observation, but the results were without exception. It was "Gaia" that successfully trapped the brood consciousness. The energy is exhausted and they have to disperse and fall into dormancy."
