Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 432 Infiltrate
On the day when the Xinhuo was upgraded, Lu Feng successfully infiltrated into the secret planet of the Tianci star camp with the help of its submarine feature.

The scale of this gas giant planet is comparable to that of Skyrim IV, and the severe thunderstorm inside is even worse. The secret forces of the two dukes used the technology of the Empire to stabilize a safe channel in the violent and dense atmosphere. The sentry posts in the channel All over the place, there is an entire Imperial formation patrolling back and forth.

This is a secret fleet that has never appeared in the sun, and it is also the fourth imperial-level formation on the side of Tianshui Star.

Through the detailed scan on March [-], this imperial formation has been modified with Vegel technology. Not only has its combat effectiveness been significantly improved, but it is also equipped with a very advanced gravitational wave detector.

If the Xinhuo came rashly before the upgrade, the old Mirage system would not be able to guarantee that it would not be detected in a close-to-face situation.

Once discovered by the garrisoned Tianci Star Fleet, such a narrow channel, coupled with the planet's strong gravity well... There is almost no possibility for the Firewood to escape.

Sure enough, it was quite the right decision not to rashly underestimate the background of the Dukes of the Empire.

After successfully infiltrating, Xinhuo quietly came to an eggshell-shaped safe space located deep in the atmosphere. This space is very large, with a diameter of more than [-] kilometers, but it was not formed naturally, but was forcibly created by using technological equipment of.

The tumbling thunderclouds at the edge of the space, the blue barrier, and the suspended force field equipment are all clearly visible.

A long time ago, the empire officials conducted a detailed survey of all the planets in the territory. If there was any secret space here, it would definitely be marked in the files and be very conspicuous.

Therefore, the dukes would rather spend a lot of manpower and material resources to forcibly transform the environment here, but also ensure the secrecy of this place. It seems that this is the root of the opponent's subversion of the empire.

Bypassing the floating facilities and passing ships covering the periphery of the space, a huge ring-shaped building appeared in front of everyone's eyes. For the people of Shentang, that shape is really familiar.

A star gate.

A star gate that is the same as the ancestor star gate in the space of creation!

There are a large number of factories, ports, and logistics bases floating next to the star gate, which are obviously the real lair of the Godsent Star forces.

Lu Feng had guessed that the opponent's hole card was a super battleship, or a secret weapon, but he didn't expect it to be an ancestor star gate. If it was a star gate...

Lu Feng instantly understood the opponent's tactics.

First colluded with the 026 logistics base to create chaos in the Imperial Border Corps and reduce its combat effectiveness; then recruited the Veggle to attack the Empire's defense line from the front, forcing it to fight hastily; The Seoul raid fleet secretly teleported to the back of the border, bypassing the space barrier, and attacking the imperial army in front and rear in the fierce battle on the border.

In this way, as long as the Vigels come with the main fleet, even if the empire's defenders are large, they will be crushed by successive raids.

At that time, the entire third frontier will be in chaos, and without the defense of the imperial army, the entire star area will fall into the hands of the enemy.

But the question is, letting the Vigels in is no different from seeking skin from a tiger. How can the two dukes be sure that the Vigils will hand over the star sector to them after victory?

Is there still a backhand that I don't know?
Or, were the two dukes and the Vigels originally in the same group?

Yes, if the two dukes had already defected to the Grand Duke Mordiggian and became his secret lords, then everything would make sense.

According to the information obtained on Tatooine, the fleet under Grand Duke Vegel is gathering, and there must be important military operations.

At first, they thought that the transfer of the other party was to launch a large-scale exploration into the depths of the Jedi, but now it seems that the fleet led by Volawi is just the tip of the iceberg of strategic deployment, and the bulk of the planning is still on the side of the empire.

Once this plan is successful, the Vigels will be able to seize one-third of the empire's territory except the capital circle at the lowest cost, and they will be able to completely break free from the harsh environment in which their ancestors lived for generations.

The central government of the empire was undergoing a change of power, unable to organize a battle of judgment, and could only allow the Vigels to occupy and consolidate their territory.

It has to be said that the timing of the Weigel selection is perfect.

But is that really the only motivation?

Lu Feng couldn't help but think of the information sent back from the Weigel control area a while ago.

The Iron Crows were going to search for the Veiger raid fleet, but the fleet hadn't found it yet, but they found signs of Zerg activity first.

Unlike the Zeger Zerg who opened the wormhole, what was discovered this time was Shentang's old friend, the Vajura Zerg who once ravaged the space cemetery.

And the location where Vajura appeared was in the depths of the Iron-Blooded Jedi!

"So that's it, are you going to break contact with the Zerg..."

Lu Feng felt that he had found the truth of the matter.

The home of Grand Duke Mordiggian, that is, the Vajra swarm in the depths of the Iron-Blooded Jedi is about to revive and begin to spread towards the Veigle-controlled area.

For unknown reasons, Mordiggian was not prepared to fight the swarm, so he wanted to transfer the territory, so he turned his attention to the Empire.

As long as he can snatch a piece of territory from the empire and avoid the expansion route of the swarm, then his power will be safe.

Because the Iron-Blooded Jedi is next to the first border of the empire, which is the farthest from the third border, the empire will bear the brunt at that time, and the whole country must fight against the swarm. Once the capital is empty, maybe the Vigels will be able to drive straight in and occupy the heart of the empire.

Ambitious, ruthless, damned executioner.

This is Lu Feng's evaluation of Mordiggian.

For all of this, he sat and watched the swarm recover, acquiesced in the expansion of the swarm, and single-handedly caused the destruction of life in the star field along the way, seriously weakening the resistance of the human side, and may even cause the entire situation to collapse.

At this moment, Lu Feng even had the urge to hand over all the information to the empire, but he quickly calmed down.

The empire is not a good bird either. If the empire knows that the Zerg is about to recover, it will definitely close its doors and prevent the Vigels from fleeing.

It is an inevitable decision of the upper echelons of the empire to sit and watch the Vigels and the insects fight to the death, and it is better for both sides to die together.

As an informer, the Tianji star would not have any substantial benefits, but would be coveted and feared by the empire, and even encircled and suppressed.

In this way, let the empire and the Weigel people fight well here to see who is more powerful.

And they can't just let them fight on both sides, but also drag the bugs in to form a melee, temporarily curbing the spread of the bug swarm.

Lu Feng made up his mind and decided to further infiltrate the secret base in front of him.

The 520-meter-long Xinhuo is not small, and it is easy to be hit by some short-sighted aircraft in the crowded base space, so after putting down Lu Feng, Lin Yuexi and the ghosts, it entered the void stealth state and waited.

If it was before, Lin Yuexi would have waited on the boat as an anchor point for Lu Feng's jump in order to facilitate the response.

But now the Xinhuo has a sufficient supply of psionic energy, and the psionic leap technology of the Proxians has been put into use, which can leap the ground operation team onto the ship without anyone noticing.

The vigilance inside the floating base is much looser than that of the outside, and it should be arranged tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

This is normal. If there is turmoil internally, it will greatly affect the engineering and production efficiency, which will be fatal to the Godsent Star party who lacks time.

Therefore, Lu Feng and Lin Yuexi split into two groups, each leading 10 ghost agents to infiltrate the base smoothly.

Lu Feng's goal was the star gate, while Lin Yuexi's goal was to find the location of the dwarves, see the situation of the patriarch, and figure out what the terrifying weapon the patriarch said was.

Both sides have remote information support from March [-]th, and the access control and monitoring encountered along the way have been successfully cracked, and they have penetrated into the core area like a broken bamboo.

On Lu Feng's side, he knew his family's ancestral star gate very well, and found a problem as soon as he entered the star gate.

This star gate is not a relic of the ancestors, but an imitation of the other party. Many places are very rough, with traces of assembly and rush work all over the place. No wonder it was transported here secretly, and it may be scrapped directly after it has been in operation for a long time.

However, the function is not much different from that of the ancestral star gate. Not only can it be connected to the star gate in the empire, but it can also cross the star field and directly connect to another ancestral star gate in Vegel.

Moreover, its diameter is much larger than the original product in the creation space, and its delivery capacity is much stronger, if it is not damaged in the middle.

In this way, it will be much more convenient for Lu Feng.

The control programs and facilities of the ancestral stargate are not easy to usurp, but if it is an imitation of the Vigels, especially if it is a temporary building, the firewall will be easier to crack.

According to the command of March [-]th, Lu Feng secretly arranged back-ups at various key positions of the star gate. One set can ensure that it is paralyzed, and the other set is to forcibly take over the control of the star gate when necessary.

On the other side, Lin Yuexi finally found the dwarves in the industrial base.

As a race with excellent engineering talents, it goes without saying that they are responsible for the manufacture of key equipment, and Lin Yuexi also saw the behemoth inside the closed dock.

A nearly completed super dreadnought!
It seems that this is the secret weapon of the dukes. This ship is over 8000 meters long. This is the first time Lin Yuexi has seen such a huge warship. At home, Lu Feng will definitely praise himself at that time.

However, after a closer look, it is found that this ship has a strong Quarter Power Dock style, and there are traces of renovation. It is likely to be upgraded through the renovation of an old ship. Although it is a giant ship of the 8000-meter class, it is stupid. The black and thick road may have the same combat power as the 5000-meter-class dreadnought of Goblin Heavy Industries.

After she quietly stole the construction information of this ship, her evaluation of it became even lower.

One is that the shipbuilding ability of Tianci Star is not as good as that of the imperial government, coupled with the shortage of resources and the tight schedule, so that this ship is quite cut corners, with a huge body but a belly full of straw.

More importantly, this thing needs 3 people to maintain its operation, and its maneuverability is extremely poor. It can't be opened for nothing, and it can be used as a space station at most.

It's really tasteless!
Lin Yuexi pouted helplessly.

Sure enough, a dreadnought is not so easy to grab, even if there is March [-]th.

So let's continue to look for the patriarch. As long as you find the patriarch, you can know the details of this base and the specific plan of the Duke's side.

The patriarch was not difficult to find. Lin Yuexi's invisibility and telepathy, combined with March Seven to lead the way, quickly found the patriarch in extremely poor condition and led him to an unoccupied lounge.

Under the surprised eyes of the other party, the collaborator who had never met before finally appeared.

"Phew, for such a long time, I thought you were already dead... Time is running out, let's get straight to the point!"

The dwarf patriarch's physical condition is very bad. The wound he was tortured by the mercenary leader before has not healed. In addition, he has been busy with the finishing work of the dreadnought during this period, so that his face is haggard, as if he is about to fall down at any time.

Lin Yuexi persuaded him to sit down with empathy, then put on a posture of talking about something, and spoke seriously.

"You can call me... Lin, I am here on behalf of the Skyrim Star, we are a force independent of the Empire and Veggle.

Although it is impossible to confront the two of them head-on, the means are enough to participate in this incident. The best proof is that I can quietly appear in front of you.

My faction needs an independent living space, so it is impossible to rely on either of the two. I think we are natural partners for cooperation. "

Lin Yuexi didn't try too much, she guessed that the other party was at the end of the road, so she bluntly sent out a cooperation invitation.

Patriarch Asbi's eyes brightened a little, the power in front of him was better than he had imagined.

He originally guessed that Lin Yuexi should be a representative of a certain power group in the empire. Although he was at odds with Tiancixing, it was not much different to the dwarves.

Just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf pack.

But I didn't expect that Lin Yuexi turned out to be an independent force, and also had a planet!
This is obviously not a force in the empire, it must be a survivor hidden in the Jedi!
Just like their dwarves...

Thinking of this, the patriarch of the dwarves looked at Lin Yuexi less vigilantly and more kindly.

"It couldn't be better.

Let me just talk about the basics of cooperation, you have to rescue our dwarves from here, leave this hell, stay away from the clutches of the imperials, and let our people get formal citizenship on your planet, not slaves!

Afterwards, with my help, you will completely destroy the ship outside, including the evil equipment on the ship. For this, I will do everything I can to cooperate with you. "

After Lin Yuexi listened calmly, she asked:
"How many clansmen do you have?"

"20 million!"

20 psionic dwarves, alive!

Lin Yuexi's beautiful eyes widened immediately, they were psionic dwarves, if they had to bring them all home, Lu Feng would go crazy with joy.

Seeing that Lin Yuexi stopped talking suddenly, the dwarf in front of her immediately added eagerly:

"10! Forget it, 5 people, no less!
Our family is all powerful engineering talents, and the broken ship outside was able to fly to the sky again because of our control, otherwise those stupid empire pigs would not even be able to get out of the dock! "

He obviously misunderstood Lin Yuexi. It was obviously difficult to rescue 20 people from the enemy's lair. As long as the race could not be wiped out, 5 people could barely accept it.

It's just that he didn't know that Lin Yuexi's little calculations were clinking at the moment, and she was planning how to claim credit from Lu Feng.

Can't you take it with you?
Lu Feng has a space door, how many people can't take it away, and Lu Feng told Lin Yuexi a secret before coming here.

The reason why the psychic dwarves lost all their psychic powers was because their family relied heavily on void crystals. Without void crystals, they were just engineering races with a bit of talent.

And once successfully combined with the void crystal, it will evolve into a psionic dwarf of cosmic civilization, with the ability to turn decay into magic.

For hundreds of years, the void crystals in the Sanctuary star cluster have been exhausted, and the remaining part has become a top-level control resource, which is not the turn of the dwarves to use.

As for the technology of the dwarves, the sheltered star cluster has been in peace for a long time, and it is enough to be powerful enough to rely on its laurels. There is no need for expensive psionic dwarves to develop and build new weapons.

As a result, the once prosperous dwarves fell into such a situation, and could only linger on the heavenly gifted star.

In the eyes of the people of the empire, they were alien races, and if they were not useful, the Heavenly Gift Star would not be able to tolerate them at all.

Patriarch Asbi never imagined that the near-extinct void crystals in the Sanctuary star cluster are everywhere on Tianji Star, not to mention the Shentang, and there are no other forces with less than 10, and the holdings of the Shentang are more than [-]. , half of which are larger than the thumb cap.

And for the dwarves to awaken, they only need a void crystal the size of a small fingernail.

That's why I said that Shentang really found a treasure this time. When Lu Feng heard the news about the dwarf from Lin Yuexi, he immediately picked up the girl excitedly and walked around several times. Lin Yuexi still blushes when she thinks about it. .

There were a lot of people there...

"Ahem, I agree with your conditions in principle. As for how many people can be taken away, detailed planning and some luck are needed. The most important thing is, can you gather all your clansmen before you act? The number of rescues is critical."

Lin Yuexi didn't agree to die outright. Saving people is different from killing people, and a little negligence may result in wasted effort.

"Gather together..."

Patriarch Asbi was a little surprised. Generally speaking, it is easier to be exposed when there are many people. He originally thought that the other party would break him up into pieces for the convenience of dispersal and transfer. Who would have imagined that everyone would gather together.

Could it be that the other party can swagger and leave with so many people?

Asby felt a little whimsical.

Still he nodded.

"Okay, there will be one such opportunity in a few days. This battleship will have a launching ceremony, and all of us will attend it. The place is on the square at the bottom of the dock. If you have time to ask, I can make some glitches To stall for time."

Lin Yuexi's eyes lit up, "Very well, that's it! If all goes well, we will rescue far more dwarves than you can imagine!"

"I hope so."

Esby sighed, he actually didn't have much choice, since Lin Yuexi didn't keep his word, he also didn't have the ability to punish the other party.

"So, now can you explain what information you have?"

Esby lit a cigarette with his rough palm, and spoke slowly:
"This dreadnought ship was built by my family for two dukes, it is their flagship against the empire, but as you can see, the ship is not in good condition, and it is completely unable to compete with the imperial dreadnought ship of the same level... The catastrophe I am talking about comes from a piece of equipment."

"What equipment?"

Lin Yuexi's expression froze, and Xiu Mei frowned slightly.

Things are not as simple as they seem.

"Psionic Beacon, the name of that device."

Esby looked a little apprehensive, and explained through gritted teeth:
"That is a high-power psionic transmitter facing the universe, which can emit special psionic energy bands to attract or drive away the Zerger swarm.

The dukes once sent people deep into the meteorite Jedi in an attempt to find a mysterious colony planet, but they found signs of large-scale Zerg Zerg activity.

Therefore, the relic provided by the Vigel was sent over, and our family repaired and debugged it, and experimented with the secretly captured bugs.

Its effects are so terrifying, it can even summon a swarm of worms by pretending to be a queen! "

Ah this...

Lin Yuexi's eyes widened in surprise, there is such a thing!

If anyone masters this thing, wouldn't it be possible to lure the swarm to the enemy's lair at will, if it is carried on the Xinhuo that has arrived without a trace...

This kind of thing must never be in the hands of outsiders!
"This thing must be destroyed!"

Patriarch Asbi knew from Lin Yuexi's reaction that the mysterious force in front of him also wanted this device, but his conscience told him that this thing must be destroyed, so he stared at Lin Yuexi stubbornly.

"Okay, well, we'll destroy it, and I'm sure you'll be there to make sure it's destroyed, won't you?"

Hearing what Lin Yuexi said, Patriarch Asbi's expression finally softened.

"Ah."

He nodded sullenly, and didn't say anything about what to do next. Before coming, he put on a psychic shield to avoid being read by Lin Yuexi.

"I will copy the detailed information to you later, do you have any questions?"

"There is indeed one! Based on your understanding, what do you think is the relationship between the two dukes? Why can they rebel together and share a fleet and a flagship? Do they trust each other so much?"

This is Lin Yuexi, and also Lu Feng's long-standing question.

These two dukes are too weird. For such a big rebellion, she has seen them conspiring together, but she has never seen them sharing an army. Who will be in command then?How will the benefits be distributed after the war?
The core of the problem is that the status of the two dukes is equal, and there is no primary or secondary relationship, which makes the relationship a little weird.

Lin Yuexi looked at Asbi expectantly, the dwarf pondered for a moment, and spoke surprisingly.

"I think they're a team."

Together?
They were originally a team, right?

Lin Yuexi was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood what the other party meant.

"You mean...they belong to the same faction? So there is no conflict of interest?"

Asby nodded worriedly.

"I'm 8% sure that there is another person or force behind them controlling them. It seems that they initiated this rebellion, but in fact they are just pawns of others."

Lin Yuexi suddenly realized that in this way, she could roughly determine the ins and outs of this incident.

Combined with Vegel's information, the mastermind behind the scenes should be that Grand Duke Mordiggian has not escaped. I didn't expect that the other party was so secretive that he could secretly control the two imperial dukes and infiltrate such a huge force.

Afterwards, Lin Yuexi obtained more confidential information from the patriarch, and discussed the follow-up plan and action time.

Before leaving, Patriarch Asbi took a deep look at Lin Yuexi.

"I hope your plan can be successful, I will arrange everything in advance. But I want to emphasize one point, once the plan is set, it cannot be changed, because I only have one chance..."

Lin Yuexi tilted her head in confusion, then suddenly realized that she took out a void crystal the size of a pigeon egg and handed it over, and said with a smile.

"Patriarch, this is given to you as a token of our cooperation. It can buy you enough time."

Asbi looked at the huge crystal in Lin Yuexi's hand, his eyes almost popped out.

The reason why he said that just now is because he has to go through the mind-reading interrogation every day, and he can't hide secrets in his heart.

He originally wanted to hand over every step of the plan to his own people in the form of regular orders, and then commit suicide to ensure the safety of the plan.

Who would have thought that Lin Yuexi was so smart that she immediately saw through his plan, and took out a void spar that could be called a treasure.

If he could absorb this spar, then he would be able to awaken at least to the level of a level 4 psyker. Not only would he be immune to daily interrogations, but he could also steal the information in the supervisor's heart in turn, and the situation would be reversed directly.

"Such a big void spar! Where did you get it? No... you really want to give it to me?"

"Well, you take this, you have to personally ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, understand?"

Esby hesitated for a moment, then took the spar in front of Lin Yuexi and swallowed it directly. The next moment, the old dwarf seemed to have undergone a complete change, and his energy was different. Although his body was still weak, But there was a flash of purple light in his eyes.

Lin Yuexi witnessed the awakening process of the other party in amazement. Although she didn't know what kind of abilities the psionic dwarves had, but judging by the confident expression on the other party's face, it must be enough to cope with the situation in the next few days.

Patriarch Asbi didn't care about feeling the changes in his body, and bowed gratefully to Lin Yuexi.

"My friend, thank you for giving me and my family the chance to survive, thank you."

"That's right, that's good."

Lin Yuexi smiled and waved her hands, but the dwarf in front of her suddenly frowned.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something and felt the need to tell you.

During the transformation of the dreadnought, some of my people would disappear inexplicably. The supervisors said that they all died, some were accidents, and some were overworked.

I didn't think much about it before, but now that I think about it, there's something strange about it..."

Lin Yuexi frowned, and immediately asked:

"How many people in total?"

"A lot, about 10 people! Now that I think about it, they account for a full third of my family!"

So many people are missing?

Lin Yuexi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head: "By the way, which Duke is in charge of you?"

"It's Duke Crystal Orchid."

"Oh, so it's him...Okay, I get it, I'll be here first today, and I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuexi and Asbi nodded and left invisibly.

After getting the key information, Lin Yuexi sneaked into the dreadnought and confirmed the location of the psychic beacon. For Shen Tang's sake, she would not really give up this device, presumably the same with Lu Feng.

When she arrived at the heavily guarded core cabin, she found that there was a guard of psykers guarding it, so she didn't approach rashly, and left to meet Lu Feng.

Hearing Lin Yuexi's information, Lu Feng was very excited. He had a clearer idea of ​​the plan in his heart, and then he took people on board and left the secret base.

There are still several days before the wormhole is formed, and now is not the best time to act.

In order to bring the three parties into the game, the timing must be just right.

At that time, Lu Feng must choose the timing to detonate the situation on Tiancixing, so that the Vigels have to act in advance, so as to follow the script he designed.

All will be known in a few days.
