A massive black wreckage lay in front of them. The lush, glowing deep-sea plants around it illuminated the details of the wreckage. It was more than ten kilometers long and had a slender body with a central axis. Around the body were a large number of crystal plates. The crystal plates were of different sizes, ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters wide. They spread out along the central axis of the wreckage like petals and sails. At the rear of the wreckage, there were some strange metal structures that had swelled up. They looked like heat dissipation grids arranged neatly on top of them.
The wreckage lay on the seabed, supported by a large number of buildings so that it did not completely collapse. Some of its crystalline plates were probably destroyed during the fall and scattered around. Other than that, there were no signs on the wreckage that could be interpreted. There was only a black crystalline plate in the middle of the wreckage that depicted a huge, abstract symbol that looked like the sun. But no one knew what it meant.
The first thing that came to Hao Ren's mind when he saw the wreckage was that it was a spaceship. This was the result of studying the study manuals for a while. After a further scan, the MDT came to a more accurate conclusion. "It is indeed a spaceship, but the material used is completely different from the sirens' spaceship."
"Needless to say, the style is different," Hao Ren said as he slowly approached the wreckage. As they got closer, the steel monster, which was more than ten kilometers long, gave them a greater sense of impact. Its weird "petal" structure and black paint left a deep impression. "This thing is really big... Is it a warship or a civilian ship?"
"I guarantee you with my six corners that civilian ships won't crash here. Judging from the structure, this thing is more like a battleship," the MDT said as it circled Hao Ren's head. "You're pretty good. You're already so good at piloting the spacecraft? I thought I'd be your assistant for the rest of my life. "
Hao Ren waved his hand and pushed the MDT aside. "Don't be silly. I've also studied the instruction manual. I can't fight a war, but I can always move."
The huge black wreckage was obviously not built by the sirens. This reminded Hao Ren of the Zalazarn that was blown up in orbit. He wondered if this spaceship was the alien warship that attacked Io. But there was another unexplainable question: Why did it crash here?
The small and nimble Petrachelys shuttled through the petal-like crystalline plates of the black wreckage. Several small probes were released to search for the entrance of the wreckage. Just then, Nangong Wuyue's voice came through the communicator. "Landlord, Landlord! We found something! "
"You found the portal?"
"No, I found another escape ship," Nangong Wuyue said quickly. "It was also blown up and in pieces. There's another strange thing here … It's also huge! "
Hao Ren immediately controlled the spacecraft to rise. "Stay where you are and don't move. I'll track your signal."
The speed of the sirens in the water was astonishing. In just one or two hours, Nangong Wuyue and the others had already swum hundreds of kilometers. Hao Ren found Nangong Wuyue at the edge of Evaduran. She waved at the spaceship and pointed at a huge ruin outside the city.
It was another immigration starship. It lay there quietly, next to the city of Evaduran. Because of its size, it was almost like another city lying on the bottom of the sea. This "city" had been fragmented, and it was even more miserable than Zalazarn on the orbital station. A huge tear zone stretched across the entire starship, almost blowing it in half, and countless collapsed wreckage was distributed radially around the rift.
"This is the Palatheon." Hao Ren found that the wreckage belonged to the same model as the wreckage on the orbital station and immediately made a judgment. "The whereabouts of this ship have also been found … It seems that it didn't escape. It was blown up directly on the launch pad."
If it were not for the interference of the Wall of Reality, which caused the entire area to be in a chaotic state, and the "visibility" was compressed to only a few kilometers, Hao Ren would have been able to confirm the structure of the bottom of the sea from high altitude. He saw that the city of Evaduran was located in the center of a plain, and around the capital of the sirens were four large platforms of the same size as the city, which were the launch pads that launched the arks.
There used to be four starships there, but now, the Nasaton had settled down on Earth, the Zalazarn floated alone in Io's high orbit, and the Palatheon lay there miserably, split into two by some powerful force. All that was left of the city was the ruins of the giant ship.
And the Ark Antwine, which was said to be specially designed … Its platform was empty, and no one knew where it went.
"Including Nasaton, the whereabouts of three exiled spaceships have been confirmed," Y 'zaks counted silently. "The last one left is Antwine, right? We haven't found it yet. "
"Maybe it was blown up somewhere, but I sincerely hope that it was launched successfully and has landed safely somewhere — just like Nasaton." Vivian shook her head and sighed. "From these wreckages, we can see how hard the sirens worked … It's a pity."
"Is that the 'strange thing' that Wuyue mentioned?" Nangong Sanba pointed to a dark shadow near the wreckage of the city. "It looks like … another black spaceship."
"Yes, it is. It's the same model as the unidentified spaceship we found just now." Hao Ren turned the external monitor and zoomed in on the dark shadow. It was also a black spaceship, more than ten kilometers long, with unique, sail-like crystal plates lining its body. It lay quietly next to the ruins of Palatheon, with a series of cannon-like structures facing the latter. It seemed that it was still firing at the last moment before it crashed. It looked like it had perished together. "I think … we should salvage a sample."
"I agree," the MDT replied. "Overall, this unidentified spaceship is closely related to the destruction of Io. We should sample it and analyze it."
"How many gravity regulators do we have in the warehouse?" Hao Ren knocked on the shell of the MDT. "I remember we left a lot of gravity regulators after we helped Y 'zaks move. It should be enough to lift this thing from the sea to outer space."
The MDT did a simple calculation and said, "We have enough, but we need a towship. The Petrachelys can do it."
"Okay, let's get this thing out of the water first," Hao Ren said. "I don't want any accidents to happen and ruin these samples. Let's get them out of the water first."
Before he could finish, the voice of the siren queen suddenly came from the communicator. "Hello? Can you hear me? "
"Katreina?"
"It's me. I found the portal … It's very chaotic. I can't get any closer. "
"The main course is coming." Hao Ren looked up at them, and then at the huge black warship wreckage on the holographic projection. After weighing his options, he nodded. "MDT, I'll leave the spaceship to you. Salvage that thing and give me a comprehensive engineering machine. I'll send the explosives to the portal."
Lily bounced up and asked, "Mr. Landlord, can I go with you?"
Hao Ren pushed her back. "You dog paddle too slow. Stay on the spaceship. Vivian, don't come with me. I'm just going to install the bomb. I'm good at this. It'll be fine."
Then he waved to Y 'zaks. "Y' zaks, come and help me deal with any accidents. The rest of you, including Wuyue, stay on the spaceship. We'll meet up after I detonate the portal. "
No one had any objections, except for Lilith, who was aggrieved. All huskies reacted the same way when their owners left them at home. She glanced at the control panel and said, "Then, when I'm bored, I can —"
"No." Hao Ren flicked her back into the chair. "Don't press anything. MDT, lock the operating system. Don't open any permissions except for the movie player and Super Mario. "
After delegating all the tasks, Hao Ren and Y 'zaks left the bridge.
The Petrachelys began to approach the black spaceship lying on the bottom of the sea. A large number of passages opened on one side. Groups of autonomous robots pushed anti-gravity devices toward the wreckage, ready to install and float. Another door opened on the back of the Petrachelys, and a small probe, only a dozen meters long, flew out.
There was a shiny silver cube at the front of the probe — it was the hot gift Hao Ren had prepared for the portal.
