I was exposed for mining on Mars

"I never thought our cruising fleet would have such a day."

As a mechanical ascendant member of the Cruising Fleet, I never thought that a civilization could pose a threat to the Cruising Fleet and the Cygnus Civilization.

All along, it was the roving fleets that conquered and destroyed other civilizations. When a more 'powerful' opponent appeared, whether it was the cruising fleet or the Cygnus civilization, they were at a loss for a while.

This is the first time they have faced this situation, and the first time they have faced a civilization that can both use antimatter energy and control space energy.

These two technologies have been plaguing the Cygnus civilization. They have been waiting for the results after delegating the development of these two technologies to the affiliated civilizations of the cruising fleet. Unfortunately, the two technologies have not been successfully developed. come out.

Although the "folding" of space weapons has taken shape, the uncertainty of its outbreak has caused great trouble to the Cygnus civilization.

A super weapon that could explode anytime and anywhere, even the Cygnus civilization would not dare to put it on its own ship easily.

Compared with this 'folding' space weapon that hurts itself before it hurts the enemy, the anti-matter energy that has not even begun to show signs is safer.

"Actually, we should have expected it a long time ago." The leading mechanical ascendant stared at the scene of the civilization ship being penetrated, and continued in a deep voice, "The universe is very huge, and in this huge universe, there will always be Stronger than the existence of Cygnus civilization."

"It's just that we have been too strong before and have no opponents at all in the two spiral arms. This makes us feel that there is no civilization in the galaxy or even the universe that can compare with the Cygnus civilization. At the same time, we also feel that there is no civilization in the galaxy or even the universe." Any civilization can defeat a roving fleet of warships."

"These are all due to our past victories coming too easily."

The leading mechanical ascendant has been promoted for more than three thousand years. Compared with Dasara, who has just completed the promotion of the ascendant, he is truly senior.

And these three thousand years have also allowed this ascended person to witness the decline of too many civilizations, and these declines of civilizations were all caused by their cruising fleets.

"But it's useless to say that now." After the signal returned by the civilized ship in front of him disappeared, the ascendant raised his hand to cross out the screen, and then continued, "Start the thrusters of all ships , it’s time to return to the Star Gate.”

Since the previous mission transmitted from the base camp was to return to the star gate and destroy all the star gates in the Orion spiral arm, their main fleet was also very pressed for time.

Even if the fleet is split into small fleets, it will still take a certain amount of time to travel to the major star gates.

Every startup of a star gate requires re-energization and coordinate adjustment. Dozens of star gates need to be restarted dozens of times. This time cost is also extremely huge.

Therefore, the two ascendants could no longer stay where they were at this time. In order to prevent the enraged civilization from catching up, they must immediately start the thrusters to prevent themselves from being penetrated by the unknown ship and becoming trapped in space. of drifting objects.

Previously, because the main fleet did not continue sailing in the direction of the solar system, they did not need to spend too much time returning to the star gate from the origin.

And since all Kasakuk members in the main fleet are in a dormant state, the fleet's instructions come from the two mechanical ascenders.

And just as the cruising fleet was restarting its propellers and starting to turn around, the space battleship that had penetrated three civilized ships was rushing towards them at super-accelerating speed.

According to Luo Xiu's calculations, it is almost impossible for a space warship to hit the opponent's star gate.

After all, the space battleship at this time no longer has any energy, and it can no longer change its navigation direction.

Although at the last moment the space warships were adjusting their posture to bring their course closer to the stargate closest to the cruising fleet. But when the course change was about to be completed, the energy of the propeller was suddenly cut off, making it impossible to complete the final turn.

Everything can only continue in the direction of the ship's final maneuver.

Even if the space battleship will be affected by the gravity of several stars along the way, the overall direction will not change.

According to the calculations made by Luo Xiuna's control system after adding various variables, the space battleship would pass by a distance of 582,921.2 kilometers from the star gate, missing the possibility of destroying the star gate.

582921.2 kilometers, this distance is not long in the universe. But if you look at the size of the space battleship, this length, which exceeds the distance between the earth and the moon, is really too huge. It is like a gap that separates the space battleship and the star gate.

But sometimes, coincidences just happen unexpectedly.

When the main fleet of the cruising fleet roared as it activated its propellers to change orbits, there were 128 ships on the edge of the fleet that were lined up exactly in the direction of the space battleship.

But not only the two Ascended Ones in the main fleet didn't know all this, but Luo Xiu, who was far away in the solar system, didn't know either.

After losing the signal connection with the space battleship, Luo Xiu could only detect the position of the space battleship through the red shift and blue shift of various stars.

And because the space battleship is too small in space, when it is moving at high speed, it cannot even be observed when it blocks other stars.

This also resulted in the space battleship being unable to be noticed by Luo Xiu most of the time.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a detector dedicated to observing space battleships has been built on the edge of the Oort Cloud. I will report to you at any time about the traces of space battleships."

In the starport of the Kuiper Belt, Luo Xiu, who was waiting for the arrival of the Dasara protection core, was also listening to the report from the lunar research base control system.

"Very good. As soon as you observe the space battleship, send its position and route to me."

Although the space battleship is basically no longer controlled by Luo Xiu, its final mission has not yet been completed. The course changed when the energy is about to be exhausted is extremely important. If it can be observed by the other party, it will be another deterrent to the cruising fleet.

After instructing him to observe the space battleship, Luo Xiucai continued: "Where has the ship that transported the protective core arrived now?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, the ship will arrive at the star port in the Kuiper Belt at 3:17 this afternoon."

More than half a year has passed since the previous war that was related to the survival of the entire solar system. The super-accelerating ship has also returned from the edge of the Oort cloud and is about to arrive at the star port in the Kuiper Belt.

"Three seventeen."

Luo Xiu muttered this number, and then looked at the time in his exoskeleton dealer's mask, "There are still two hours."

"Let the ships in the star port prepare for the cleanup work and retrieve the Ascended One's protective core as soon as possible."

Luo Xiu used the word "search" in this sentence, mainly because the Xia Qi-class battleship carrying the protection core of Dasara would not slow down in advance in order to arrive at the star port as soon as possible.

Without early deceleration, an emergency stop would cause irreparable damage to the Xia Qi-class battleship. The most serious result is that it will disintegrate directly in space when it suddenly decelerates.

In this way, the Xia Qi-class battleship will form a large sea of ​​debris in a certain area, and the ships prepared by Luo Xiu will be responsible for recovering these debris and finding the Ascended Person's protection core.

Although he was still cruising the fleet, Luo Xiu had no chance to see the Ascended One, let alone the opponent's protective core.

But judging from the pictures sent back by the ships ahead, Luo Xiu had already memorized the appearance of the Ascended One's protective core. At that time, the ships on standby need to search according to that model. Even if it is only the size of an ordinary human's little finger, the huge engineering robot can still search it out.

"Get all the equipment in place."

As Luo Xiu spoke, he controlled the propulsion system of the exoskeleton armor towards the 'parking' location of the Xia Qi-class battleship.

In fact, in order to prevent the disintegration of the Xia Qi-class battleship from causing any damage to the star port, the 'stop' location is also some distance away from the star port.

But in space, even though the distance was very far for humans, Luo Xiu could directly observe the entire process of the Xia Qi-class battleship's arrival, docking, and disintegration from the star port.

And all of this can be accomplished without borrowing any observation equipment.

"The ship has set off from the star port and all equipment has been carried."

Even without Luo Xiu's instructions, the ships responsible for collecting the debris were all ready.

A large number of engineering robots have also been waiting for the control system's instructions. They will rush out from the ship and recover all the debris in the designated area.

"The ship will arrive in one hour and three minutes."

"One minute and two seconds until the ship arrives."

As time continued to pass, Luo Xiu, who was standing at the edge of the star port, finally saw a very obvious blue and white light brought by the Xia Qi class battleship in space.

"The ship is stopping and slowing down."

Since the Xia Qi-class battleship basically did not decelerate when it sailed over, the Xia Qi-class battleship still maintained a super-accelerated sailing state even though it had reached a place within sight.

As the command from the control system was issued, the ship in the super-accelerating state suddenly ignited the reverse thrust engine and immediately entered a state of super-power operation.

The sudden huge recoil interacted with the forward inertia of the ship itself. In just a moment, the Xia Qi-class battleship began to disintegrate.

Its huge shell was like hitting an invisible wall in space. The front part stayed in place, but the rear hull had no intention of stopping and continued to move forward at high speed.

Because the speed of change was so fast, Luo Xiu on the star port could only fully see the entire process from the spindle shape to the flat shape through the pictures returned by the control system.

But after the hull of the ship was crushed into one piece, the disintegration was not yet complete. The reverse thrust engine, which had been destroyed in an instant, was no longer able to decelerate the hull. The flattened hull continued to move forward and disintegrated in pieces in space, scattering in all directions like dandelions on the Blue Star.

The disintegration process of this Xia Qi-class battleship has already been simulated by the control system. When it began to scatter in all directions, a large number of ships surrounding this area suddenly opened their energy shields, and the area was completely destroyed. Completely covered in it.

Since these ships were compressing inward after the Xia Qi-class battleship arrived at the predetermined position, the fragments of the ship did not spread too far, and each piece directly hit the ship shield surrounding it. .

In Luo Xiu's picture, he could see the disintegrated fragments rushing forward at high speed and directly hitting the energy shields of each ship.

But after the reverse thrust engine slowed down, these fragments no longer had the speed to break through the energy shield. They simply caused a ripple on the energy shield, and then instantly turned into starch and floated silently. In space.

“Start recycling.”

Although the disintegration of the Xia Qi-class battleship was very spectacular, the process was also very rapid.

In less than a minute, the disintegration of the ship was complete. Next, the ship surrounding that area began to release the engineering robots inside the ship.

Hundreds of thousands of engineering robots jumped out of the ship whose energy shield had been cancelled, and headed towards the location where the Xia Qi-class battleship disintegrated at high speed.

Since the Xia Qi-class battleship just disintegrated completely, except for a small number of fragments, the rest of the ship's hull has basically been reduced to its most basic state.

And in such an area, it is much easier to search for the protective core of the ascended ones.

Without the interference of a large number of debris, the engineering robots only need to perform a simple scan to directly find the protective core of Dasara.

After the 100,000 engineering robots worked for less than ten minutes, the control system was in place and Luo Xiu brought good news, "Your Excellency, Commander, the Ascended One's protective core has been found."

"Bring it here immediately."

After hearing the control system's words, Luo Xiu turned around and walked towards the interior of the star port.

At this time, inside the starport, a room specially built for the Ascended Protector Core is waiting for Dasara's arrival.

Due to the characteristics of the ascended data flow, Luo Xiu could not release it with confidence. Once the other party comes into contact with his equipment, the data flow will directly escape from the protection core and directly enter Luo Xiu's system.

This is extremely fatal to Luo Xiu, because after the other party enters the database, he has the opportunity to control any device owned by Luo Xiu.

Whether it was an antimatter annihilation bomb or a ship that posed a huge threat to Blue Star, Luo Xu did not want the other party to control it.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, it is very necessary to have a room that does not have any data connection with the outside world and has a special jammer installed on the periphery.

What Luo Xiu is going to now is this 'cage' specially made for ascendants.
