Crimson Cross Observatory

An energy cannon hit the battle boats of the escort fleet impartially. The violent but silent explosion energy caused the closest Suan Ni to shake slightly. Captain Arlo frowned and looked at the giant ahead with a solemn expression. Through the viewing window, fierce battles and fights are unfolding above the planet Pudo.Planet Putuo is a member who recently joined the Cross Star Alliance. The technology of this planet is far inferior to other members of the Cross Star Alliance, but it contains a large amount of ore. Almost four-fifths of the entire planet is composed of this ore. Scientists still don't know what role those ores can play, but no one would be willing to give up a planet full of energy.

The Cross Star Alliance has always upheld the belief of openness. As long as the planets and races are willing to join, they will never refuse, and provide resources such as technology and medical treatment.Things changed and the stars moved. I don’t know how many light-years have passed. The Cross Star Alliance has expanded from only ten members to almost the entire X quadrant. The power is so powerful that it plays a decisive role in the universe. The Kemper Empire developed to the extreme in another direction.

The Kempa Empire, an ancient and powerful race, used the same ancient method to erode the entire universe. They did not have so-called alliances and cooperation. The Kempa Empire only invaded and surrendered. When they found a profitable planet, there was only one The purpose is to take it for oneself. Once the resources are exhausted, the Kempa Empire will directly abandon it and look for the next target.The story of the Kempa Empire and the Cross Star Alliance can be traced back to more than 150 years ago in the star calendar. They will not admit their failure, and the victory of the Cross Star Alliance was purely a fluke. Since then, the Kempa Empire has joined forces with the Cross Star. No matter how they negotiate afterwards, they will always resolve it on the battlefield.

This time, the ore-filled planet Pudo was targeted by the Kempa Empire. With technology and force far inferior to the Kempa Empire, they joined the Cross Star Alliance and sought help.Therefore, representing the strongest battleship fleet of the Cross Star Alliance, headed by Suan Ni IX, they jumped to the top of Pudu planet through the vortex and formed an formation to protect the planet.

Looking at the unattractive planet with a solemn expression, Captain Alo didn't want to get involved in this battle at all. After more than a dozen vortex jumps, he came to the Pudo planet located at the farthest edge of the X quadrant, and brought those well-trained The crew and soldiers came to defend a planet that had just joined the Cross Star Federation, and it was not even certain that the ore on Pudo would have any effect on the technology of the Cross Star Federation. He really felt that the decision of the Supreme Council was very uneffective, but The belief and code of the Cross Star Alliance is to support and assist each other, so as soon as Pudo asked for help, they came. The strongest fleet in the Star Alliance and the elite of the Kempa Empire launched the most tragic battle in the star history. .

Beep, beep, the warning sounded loudly, and Captain Arlo's thoughts were pulled back to the battlefield, and he hurriedly shouted that he was responsible for monitoring the report of the crew of the enemy ship.

"The enemy ship is gathering energy..." Cold sweat broke out involuntarily in the palms of the hands, and the crew responsible for scanning and monitoring the enemy ship replied with a livid face.Before they came, they had already heard that the most elite fleet of the Kempa Empire was equipped with their newly developed weapons, and they hadn’t officially named it yet, so the Crossstar Federation gave it the code name "Destruction Cone", which was passed back from their infiltration troops. It is inferred from the news that it is a cone-shaped traditional shell, which is a very special and incomprehensible reverse research for the Cross Star Alliance, which abandoned this type of weapon early on, but they have never dared to take the Kemper Empire lightly. However, the true power of the "Destruction Cone" may be fully defined after this battle.

"Ready to launch the 'Destruction Cone'?" Frowning thickly, Captain Alo gave an order to the rest of the battleships to transfer all their energy to the protective shields and form a formation to resist.Although the risk of doing so is extremely high, before they set off, the Supreme Council of the Cross Star Federation issued a secret order that he was responsible for collecting all information about the "Destruction Cone" of the Kemper Empire, at all costs.

"All warships have increased the energy of their protective shields... so they can withstand the "Destruction Cone"?" The security officer in charge of weapons asked solemnly. They knew too little about the new weapons of the Kempa Empire, even if they were traditional shells. , if it is equipped with powerful gunpowder or even biological and chemical weapons, the casualties it can cause are unpredictable. Union force would be a blow.

"If we can't resist..., then no one in the Cross Star Alliance can resist...." Looking out through the huge viewing window, Captain Arlo's eyes fell on the boundless darkness. He has a very strong sense of uneasiness. After he led the fleet to the sky above Planet Pudo, the anxiety and uneasiness climbed to the highest point. He is a soldier and a fighter. He believes in his instincts. He is not the only one who is experimenting in this battle. The Kempa Empire is also testing. No matter what the result is, this battle will definitely change the future of the Cross Star Federation, and even the entire interstellar and the entire universe.

"Captain!" Sliding his hands quickly on the dashboard, the crew responsible for monitoring the enemy ship exclaimed again.

"Say!"

"They're not aiming at us, the "Destruction Cone" is aiming at the mountain with the most mineral reserves on Planet Pudo!"

Reconfirming the results of the calculations, the "Cone of Destruction" of the Kempa Empire is undoubtedly aimed at the planet Pudo. Since they can't take this planet, then don't expect the Cross Star Alliance to form an alliance with them. Those energy-rich crystal mines It is not certain that it has any function, but the only thing that is certain is that once the "Destruction Cone" penetrates and explodes, it will absolutely destroy the entire Pudo planet, and even buy one get one free so that the Cross Star Alliance fleet can be buried with it.

"Notify the other warships to enter the vortex jump immediately! Transfer the energy to the power and perform the vortex jump to the greatest extent!" Seeing that the spider-type enemy ship was already in the belly, Captain Alo kept shouting for a moment, they were too late Stopping the other party from launching the "Destruction Cone", the only thing that can be done is to keep the Cross Star fleet as far away as possible, blowing up a planet the size of Pudo, no one can predict what kind of changes will be caused, he can't let those Unexplained sacrifices of the young crew.

"But Captain... If we evacuate, then Planet Pudo..." His eyes couldn't help but feel a little sad. Some crew member on the bridge suddenly raised his voice. Abandon them at a critical moment?The original inhabitants on the planet have no self-protection ability at all, and the people sent to observe and assist have not yet returned, so the fleet left like this. They have no chance of surviving except for being destroyed together with the Pudo planet.

"No one expected that the Kempa Empire would target Pudo, and it's too late to stop them..." Knowing all kinds of weapons, including preliminary research on the "Destruction Cone", the security officer shook his head helplessly.The thoughts of those lunatics in the Kempa Empire were indeed beyond their predictability. The only thing they could do was to reduce casualties, let the battleship perform the vortex jump to the greatest extent, and stay as far away from here as possible.

"But there is no pre-set coordinates, such a vortex jump aimlessly, the navigator who is inexperienced, is very likely to get lost..."

"There's no way to think about this now! Let's go! Tell them to leave quickly—"

Seeing a "spike" protruding from the belly of the enemy ship, and the cold blue light condensed, Captain Arlo roared excitedly. His duty is to defend the Pudo planet, collect information about the "Destroyer Cone", and send this group of The crew of the elite of the elite brought it back safely, but he found that no matter what, he didn't seem to be able to do it.

A cone-shaped shell directly passed through the protective cover, hit Suan Ni IX who was standing right above Planet Pudo, pierced through the hull mercilessly, and shot straight towards Planet Pudo.

The red light kept flashing, and the warning bell rang crazily. Captain Alo ordered vigilantly that the crew immediately abandon the ship and escape, and at the same time asked the rest of the warships to enter the vortex and jump away from here.At this moment, a slight shock wave hit, and time seemed to stand still. Captain Arlo looked at the Pudo planet, and it did not explode as expected, but split into two halves, followed by Like a gravitational imbalance, the two halves that were originally divided quickly moved closer together, and only then did the first dazzling light burst out. The expanding energy completely distorted time and space, and all the warships that were about to enter the vortex jump were thrown into the vortex. In an unknown space.

"Ship...Captain...." Taking a breath of cold air, looking at the chaotic data on the dashboard, the crew in charge of monitoring yelled in fear.From the cracked center of the Pudo planet, extremely powerful energy began to seep out. The black object that can be recognized by the naked eye spread out like a liquid and seemed to be alive. Anything that touched the black object was immediately swallowed. Also become part of the black object.

"God..." Watching the unidentified black object continue to expand and finally touch the Suan Ni, Captain Arlo uttered the last words with a pale face. The darkness seemed to be growing and growing like life.

With a beep, the stereoscopic projection screen gradually dimmed, and finally a picture with a lot of noise impacted all the students in the class. The female teacher in charge gave the students a glance and was very satisfied with the astonishment on their faces. The expression, the cross star alliance has been strong for too long, because it is strong, so it is easy, because it is easy, so they gradually slack off from generation to generation, and one day the cross star alliance will suffer a big loss because of this mentality that does not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, so From time to time she keeps her students on their toes with these real and scary textbooks.

"Can anyone tell me which battle is in the video? Where did it happen? What was the result?" Looking around the classroom, the female teacher's face darkened, the whole class was divided into two, and half of them were dazed from a dream. The other half were stunned as if frightened, but no one responded to her question.

"I know! It was the Battle of Putuo Star that took place in "Sickle Bend", and it was also the last war between us and the Kemper Empire. This battle accidentally led to the race numbered 9527, and made the Cross Star Alliance and Kemper The vitality of the empire has been seriously injured..." A girl with a water-like appearance, transparent and indigo gave a simple and concise answer, the female teacher nodded in relief, and glanced at the list of students, Lantis, from the Tian galaxy The new students, indeed, have a super high IQ that is different from that of human beings.

"Then does anyone know that this race numbered 9527, which is now known as the "absolute darkness" race, has any way to prevent them from continuing to expand..." Leaning against the table, the female teacher asked again Looking around the classroom once, she was able to enter the first Academy of Sciences with the highest rating in the Cross Star Federation. All of them are the top young people in each alliance galaxy. She does not ask these freshmen to answer this question. In fact, even The "Presbyterian Council" in charge of knowledge in the Supreme Council could not give an answer, but she asked these freshmen to remain vigilant and use their own characteristics flexibly. Because of the invasion of "absolute darkness", they have reached the critical point of life and death.

Looking back proudly, the female student named Lantis proudly wanted to show off to her friends. Before she entered school, she had memorized all the battles of the Cross Star Federation by heart. Excellent IQ gives her excellent language skills and organizational skills. She believes that if she can enter the First Academy of Sciences with a No. The goal of survival is to honor yourself and your family.

Lantis' eyes stayed on an empty seat, her eyes sparkling like lake water were burning with anger, there was no one in the First Academy of Sciences who had the guts to be so reckless, except for the human Lin Sen who entered the school for no reason, There will be no second person.

"You really are here!...It's so unfair, you actually skipped this class?" Angrily, she found the botanical garden, the first friend Lantis made in the First Academy of Sciences, it should be said, the first friend A friend who didn't have any other meaning, simply asked her for directions, and then became a friend. Lin Sen was selected into the First Academy of Sciences for a special reason.

Except for people like Lantis who entered the First Academy of Sciences because of their excellent grades, there would be one or two "special students" every few years. They were all selected for various unknown reasons, and their performances were all mediocre at the beginning. But after graduation, they will definitely show their special talents.Among the freshmen this year, there is such a "special student". Lin Sen has no prominent family background, pure human genes, and his grades are not satisfactory. He even lacks the concentration he should have. Such Lin Sen is actually a "special student". , this made Lantis very unconvinced.

"Are you going to the Battle of Sickle Bend today?" Lin Sen yawned lazily as he lay comfortably on the grass.Not to mention that Lantis didn't understand why he was able to enter the First Academy of Sciences. He himself was also at a loss. He was just an ordinary human being, a truly ordinary human being. Both his parents lived on Colonial Planet No. When he was notified, he really thought that he was sent to the wrong place, but it was his parents who couldn't wait to send him here. Probably every parent is the same, right?I want to try my best to prove that my genes are not so ordinary.

"How do you know?" Eyes widened in astonishment, Tian people don't actually have much emotional ups and downs, but Lantis likes to disguise herself like this, like laughing when happy, crying when sad, exaggerating herself She likes to make friends and hates being isolated, but no matter how hard she tries, she seems to only know Lin Sen as a friend in the First Academy of Sciences.

"Everyone else left the classroom with a pale face. I guessed it was this part. I didn't like that battle... not only did it not bring hope to the Pudo Stars, on the contrary, because of the war, it brought despair to this place. The world..."Looking at the projected clear sky, Lin Sen sighed helplessly. He came from the No. [-] colony planet, where there are all ordinary people who live seriously, just like another planet Pudo, if there are people Come to invade, Colonial Planet No. [-] should have the same tragic ending, right?

"So! I'm going to graduate from the First Academy of Sciences and serve in the fleet. It would be great if I can become a crew member of the Suanni..."

"That's a battleship... I thought you'd want to go to the Hunxiu? Specializing in diplomatic missions will live up to your proud language talent!"

Glancing at the young girl who was as cold as water, Lin Sen couldn't help laughing. He had always heard that Tiantian people love peace, but he just met such a belligerent Lantis, so the "legend" is actually There is no possibility.

"No..., this is not the initial stage of the Cross Star Alliance, there is no need to bother to win the alliance, other races will come to the door automatically, I want to join the battleship fleet, and then stop the invasion of "Absolute Darkness"."

"Then do your best! I support you mentally."

Clenching his fists and pretending to cheer him up, Lin Sen's perfunctory behavior without sincerity earned Lantis a few gleaming white eyes.The latter stared at the young boy for a long time. According to human standards, Lin Sen was very handsome and handsome, but his laziness and inactivity made him an outlier in the First Academy of Sciences. She was really curious, why was he selected?What secret is Lin Sen hiding?

"What about you? Don't you want to join the fleet?"

"I don't know..., I want to walk around and see..."

"Then you must join the fleet! Otherwise, why would you leave?"

"Joining the fleet, you have to observe discipline. Do you think you can leave casually?"

Looking at the unexpectedly innocent Lantis, Lin Sen couldn't help but show a nice smile. He wanted to walk around, maybe there was something special in his genes that made him yearn to be able to travel freely among the stars. Traveling, if possible, he really wants to leave now, there always seems to be a voice in his heart urging, there is someone or something waiting for him in a corner among the stars...
