Rubik's Cube World

The cosmic area where the Orion Empire is located is Orion, which contains the Orion Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula, one large and one small nebula, containing dozens of stars. It is the cosmic nebula area closest to the earth in the Milky Way. It is 1500 light-years away, and its brightness is quite high, second only to the Kalina Nebula in the whole sky, and it can be observed with the naked eye in areas without light pollution.

Among the dozens of stars in the Orion constellation, four are hot sun-like stars, seven are bright planets, and the rest are low-brightness planets and ordinary gravel dust.

According to some rumors on the earth, the head star of the Orion Empire is located on Rigel, one of the seven bright planets. He was flying around the universe like a blind man, otherwise it would be difficult to find the right owner without spending three, five, eight, or nine years!

Of course, before that, the first thing Ito Cheng did was to determine his location and re-lock the route.

In the state of autopilot of the spacecraft, after flying for more than a day, the spacecraft jumped out of the subspace again, and there was a "didi" reminder that the planet was discovered from the large magnetic gravitational field detection device.

Hearing the prompt, Ito Cheng slowly withdrew from the trance state, opened his eyes and reached out to hold the control panel of the aircraft, changed the automatic mode back to manual mode, and then controlled the spacecraft to fly around the newly discovered planet while revealing Observe the state of the planet through the optical screen.

This is a gray-brown planet with a large volume.About three times the size of the original Earth, with a thin atmosphere.But it was very unstable, the thunderbolts visible to the naked eye kept jumping in the atmosphere.Bursts of light were emitted.There are no earth-circling satellites similar to the relationship between the earth and the moon, and there are no gravel rings similar to the outer part of Saturn, which are bare and lonely floating in the universe.

Cheng Ito, who had observed the state of the planet in general, stopped the spacecraft and turned on the life detection device.

In an instant, a special electric wave invisible to the naked eye protruded from the cabin that suddenly opened under the front of the spaceship. It was launched from a small pot with a round surface similar to a satellite receiver, passing through the void, and rushing into the planet. in the atmosphere.

Then, about a minute later, a subtle "didi" prompt sound was uploaded from the instrument.

Ito Cheng turned his eyes slightly when he heard the prompt.It landed on the surface of the life detector that looked like a radar interface.The empty space above tells Ito Cheng that this is a dead star without life.

Ito Cheng, who was not surprised by this, didn't care, turned on another function of the detection instrument, and re-launched the detection wave to detect the planet.

And this time it took a little longer than the previous exploration time. After about 3 minutes, the new prompt sound was uploaded from the instrument again.

Ito Cheng glanced at the instrument interface, and suddenly his expression changed, showing an unexpected look on his face.Because in the re-transformed interface, a bunch of densely packed.But the small dots scattered into several clusters caught his eyes.

The meaning they represent is nothing but a living life!The reason why the previous detections did not detect them is entirely because the two detections targeted different life forms, and the previous detection was aimed at three-dimensional life similar to humans on Earth.The latter detection is aimed at the four-dimensional life that is higher than the three-dimensional, so it will cause the difference in the results of the two detections in a short period of time.

Ito Cheng remembered the distribution of these lives in the planet for a while, and then his figure flashed.Leaving the spaceship, it appeared in the outer space.Then he bent down and rushed towards the planet.

Galloping at speeds up to twenty times the speed of sound.Almost instantly, Ito Sachi broke through the planet's atmosphere and brought thick gray clouds to the sky above the planet's surface.

And just like what he saw in the universe, this is a gray-brown world, without water or vegetation, and everywhere are mountains spreading for hundreds of kilometers and meteorite impact craters similar to the surface of the moon. From time to time, the thunder and lightning dropped a powerful bolt of lightning to the ground, shattering the rocks and leaving blazing traces in the air.

In addition, there are several active volcanoes within the range of the eyes, and the black smoke and red hot magma are constantly surging out of the active mountain mouths.Even if he didn't come up with a special instrument to test the air quality, Ito Cheng can also think that the environment here is absolutely not suitable for human survival.

Then Ito Cheng withdrew his gaze and moved towards the place where the four-dimensional creatures closest to him existed in his memory.

Flying at several times the speed of sound, within a few minutes, Ito Sachi came to the sky above the creatures.But what caught his eyes was still a bare rocky surface.

Feeling a little surprised, Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows, let go of his spiritual sense and carefully explored the surroundings.Then the next moment, Ito realized why.

"So it's underground." Ito Cheng muttered to himself.

After speaking, the figure flashed and disappeared into the air.

The next moment, in a huge space about [-] meters below the bare surface, accompanied by a faint change of light, the figure of Ito Cheng emerged from the void.

Then look around and observe the surrounding environment.

This is an extremely large space. The top floor is tens of meters higher than the ground, and the width is unknown. It is empty like a huge underground city, but there is no city or city wall. On the contrary, there are many diameters on the surrounding walls. The irregular round hole of about three or four meters is pitch-black and no one knows where it leads.

In the very center of the underground space, there is a large machine in the shape of a five-story stepped pyramid, with a faint pale blue light shining on it, and a spherical metal ball on the top, with a huge pipe connected to the unknown far away.

A dozen or so heavily armed soldiers of the Orion Empire stood around the pyramid, guarding the huge stepped pyramid with serious expressions.

"It looks like a mine?" Ito Cheng said thoughtfully, taking the environment in front of him into his eyes.

Immediately with a thought, the soldiers of the Orion Empire who had been guarding around the pyramid suddenly appeared in front of him, frantically flicking their limbs in the air like a drowning person.

At this moment, Ito Cheng's thoughts were spinning, and black energy barriers immediately appeared around all the soldiers of the Orion Empire, forming a rectangular column like a coffin, sealing all the soldiers of the Orion Empire inside.

Then these black coffins flashed and disappeared into the air.

So far, all the soldiers of the Orion Empire in the underground space have been captured and sealed.Then, Ito Cheng's figure flashed and appeared next to the pyramid, observing there seemingly.But after watching it for a long time, Ito Cheng couldn't see what the stepped pyramid was for, or what its working principle was.

Then he retracted his gaze, unfolded his divine sense, and explored the surrounding tunnels that were the same as those dug by cavemen.

Soon, a creature that looked different from the Orion appeared in Ito Cheng's mind through his divine sense.

It was a group of humanoid creatures, not tall, similar to the legendary dwarves, only 1.2 meters, three to 1.4 meters, five or so, but not as strong as the dwarves, on the contrary, they were similar to goblins. Thin and dry, with no hair on the whole body, small eyes, almost none, but it seems that the nose organ is particularly developed, occupying one third of their entire heads, and they are dressed in tatters , planing the wall in a daze, buckling one after another faintly dark blue ores from the rock wall, throwing them into the backpack beside him, and carrying them to the tunnel after filling them up. Standing near the middle section is an instrument with four semi-arc-shaped metal arms and a blue energy aperture shining inside. The ore is thrown into it, and then it is sent out in the slight flash of the blue energy aperture, and sent to Don't know where to store it.

"Aboriginal people, or a slave race transported from other planets?" Ito Cheng deduced.

Then with another thought, he transferred a dwarf creature who was digging to the front.

"2#￥.#￥#￥" just stood still, and the dwarf creature panicked and let out an inexplicable cry.

"It has language, it seems to be a kind of intelligent creature." Itocheng secretly said.

Afterwards, the divine thoughts were re-transformed into spiritual power, penetrated into the opponent's mind, and connected to the opponent's spiritual force field.

"Quiet!" Ito Cheng said softly in a voice full of Taoist soul-suppressing sounds.

"..., who are you?" After a moment of silence, the dwarf creature asked in a voice full of timidity and panic.

"Who are you, and what kind of creatures are you?" Ito Cheng did not answer the other party's question, but asked directly.

"My name is Jia, and I am a member of the Tata Krothal tribe." The dwarf creature named Jia replied.

"The Tata Krothals? Are they the aborigines on this planet?" Ito Cheng asked.

"No, the planet where the Tatakrosals live is Saluo, and we were captured here by the Orion Empire." Jia replied.

"Mining for them?" Ito Cheng asked.

"Yes." Gaga confirmed.

"Tell me about the situation here." Ito Cheng asked.

"This planet..." Jia's small head lightly tapped, and he opened his mouth to describe the situation here.That extremely cooperative appearance left Ito Cheng speechless, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was frightened by him. (to be continued...)
