The silver-white alloy door slid open silently, and I quickly walked into the officer's lounge that was filled with holographic projections. Lin Xue and the others were surrounding an orange-red image and pointing at it. They seemed to have discovered something interesting.
"What's wrong? Speaking of which, why did you guys modify this lounge to look like an internet café? Where did all these projectors come from? "
I called out to them from afar as I flashed past a few holographic projectors floating in the air.
"We're analyzing the battle report! Ah Jun, hurry up and take a look … "
Shallow Shallow, who was telepathically connected, lifted her head and waved at me the moment I opened the door.
"What's that?"
I came to the girls' side and focused my gaze on the thing they were researching. It was a holographic image that was constantly spinning in the air. It was emitting an orange-red glow, and it looked like …
An orange that had been forcefully squeezed?
Alright, that description was really nonsensical. The shape of the object seemed to be a strangely shaped meteorite. It was slightly elongated, and there were about ten to fifteen irregular notches on it, as though someone had dug out a piece of it. What I meant was that those were man-made marks.
What caught my attention were the faint black shadows below the notches. They seemed to be some sort of mechanical structure, but it could also be the sharp tangent lines left behind by the collision of rocks. However, after observing it for a while, I still felt that it looked a little like a machine, because from a sociological point of view, a collision of rocks wouldn't be able to create an engine nozzle …
"It seems to be the wreckage of some sort of spacecraft, the propeller part." Sandora was far more experienced than a bunch of semi-illiterate people like us, and she might have already figured out the nature of the object. "It was obviously scrapped a long time ago, and its surface was severely weathered. For some unknown reason, it was completely wrapped inside an asteroid, as though the asteroid had grown a set of internal organs of a machine. However, the damage to the object was too severe, and the exposed part was too small. We couldn't find out its possible origins, but it definitely wasn't something that could be created with Earth's technology, nor was it a product of Schilling's technology. Its design style was very different from ours, and the all-metal energy pipes were obviously not suitable for using psionic energy."
"Hmm …" I looked at the orange-red asteroid wreckage with interest. As it rotated slowly, the mechanical structure that was wrapped in rocks would occasionally reflect a cold metallic light. "You found it in one of those asteroids?"
Sandora nodded. "Of course, this could be a coincidence. The star ring fragments don't have the intelligence to choose cannon fodder. However, I'm a little curious. Could there be any secrets hidden within these machines? Perhaps it's another civilization that was destroyed by the power of the abyss?"
I clapped my hands. "That's easy. We can just drag this thing to the research ship at the back. Let's take a look — Lin Xue would definitely like to do this. "
Then, Lin Xue elbowed me from behind.
"This was discovered by Pandora." Sandora shrugged, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She made a big explosion gesture in front of our stunned expressions. "That girl blew this thing up without saying anything. She's currently in her room, reflecting on her mistakes."
"…"
"Then why are you still researching it?" Shallow shallow's enthusiasm had always been short-lived, but it seemed that her enthusiasm had subsided. "They're all dismembered."
"There might be more wreckages like this." Sandora tapped on the projector, and the camera zoomed out to show a view of the entire fleet. The magnificent energy shield was like a lake in a storm, exploding with dense sparks. "The entire energy shield is currently enduring the impact of almost ten thousand asteroids every day, and there are countless small meteorites. It's definitely not an isolated case for a machine from another civilization to appear in such a large number of asteroids. We need to urgently create a batch of miniature scanning robots to scan as many asteroids as possible. Ah Jun, you've placed three Schilling Main Computers under the research facility, right? Let them do some exercise. "
I nodded. Then, a guard suddenly appeared in the lounge and reported to us, "Reporting, Sir! Communication from Earth! "
I was surprised. "Earth? Connect it. "
At first, I thought that it was my sister or Aresta looking for me. In the end, after the communication was connected, an energetic young lady wearing a cherry blossom hair accessory jumped out from the side of the screen.
"Ahh — Storm Commander Zutian Leizi reporting to the Empire Command Headquarters! The situation on the ground is good! The soldiers are working hard … "
I nearly tripped and fell. "Leizi?! Why are you … Hey, where did you get that communicator from? And you're even wearing a battle robe on the street? "
That's right, the young lady on the screen was a girl who was as energetic as Shallow shallow, Zutian Leizi. Furthermore, she was wearing a flashy commander's battle robe. Looking at the background behind her, it seemed to be near the first school district of the campus city. Furthermore, it seemed like she had just passed by a group of … Schilling soldiers armed to the teeth?
Speaking of which, this little girl who craved for the world to be in chaos had finally awakened the Pandora virus in her body and decided to conquer the world?
The young lady on the screen seemed to be in a good mood. Her entire body was burning with fighting spirit. "Of course, Leizi is fulfilling her duty as a member of the Imperial Army and is here to help maintain law and order … Hehe, in fact, there was a crime committed by a metahuman. The culprit seemed to be a staunch supporter of the 'threat of a different race' or something. Since the Discipline Committee and the guards couldn't make it in time, so … Hehe …"
Alright, Spiderman once said that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. With Leizi's personality, she dared to stand up for a just cause in front of armed thugs even when she was just an ordinary person. Now that she had power, she wouldn't be someone who would stay put. However, using the army to suppress metahumans … Isn't that a little too exaggerated?
I could already imagine that in less than two hours, news reports such as "An ordinary girl's true identity is a foreign planet's vanguard officer", "A female high school student leads a foreign planet's army to quell a riot", "A bloody blade under a sweet smile — What is her true side" would spread all over the world. Speaking of which, did something strange mix in just now?
Leizi, oh Leizi, you will have a headache soon. Looks like I have to increase the friendship between the Imperial Army and the earthlings in order to lessen the troubles of this cheap sister of mine in the future.
This time, she has completely broken away from the ordinary. Let's enter the hall of great people together with Aresta and Laura, that is, if you aren't afraid of being annoyed to death.
Just as I was sighing in my heart, the screen on the communication device suddenly shook. Then, a few familiar figures rushed into the screen and squeezed Leizi out without hesitation. The first one to come up was a certain BT yuri girl, Shirai Kuroko, who bared her fangs and brandished her claws. "Let me say, let me say … Why do you have to spoil Leizi so much! Such an impressive uniform and commanding sword … Kuroko wants it too! Hey hey, Chu Chun, you think so too, right? And Big Sister … "
The chaos suddenly subsided with a dazzling flash of lightning. Mikoto ended the solo performance of the jumping up and down Hatsune with a flash of lightning. Then, she quickly bowed to me with veins popping out of her forehead. "I'm very sorry, Big Brother Director. This guy has a screw loose in his head. He made you laugh …"
It's okay, I rarely see normal people here.
Under Meiqin's lead, the intruding trio finally left the scene. Lei Zi, who had been pushed to the side earlier, finally managed to snatch the camera again. However, at this moment, I could already see more and more students gathering nearby. They were probably attracted by the Xi Ling soldiers. Even the carefree Zuotian Lei Zi quickly became awkward under the gaze of so many people. He quickly said his goodbyes and cut off the communication.
"What a mess," I said as I rubbed my forehead. One woman is equivalent to five hundred ducks, one loli is equivalent to five hundred ducklings. Just now, I and two thousand … cough cough, let's stop here. "A metahuman going on a rampage? Could it be that Aresta is up to something? "
Lin Xue immediately shook her head. "That's impossible. That person is not an idiot. Does he really think that such a small matter can shake the Empire's fleet that has already enveloped the entire Earth-Moon system?"
"Anyway, I don't like that person," I said in unison with Shallow Shallow. Then, I shrugged. "Strengthen the surveillance of the upper levels of Gakuen City. Let the idle Schilling Main Computer cut into all information ports related to the 'Imaginary School District' and the 'Five Elements Mechanism'. If that man with the tube has any ill intentions, just kill him. We can always change our representative anyway. Those government organizations on Earth are almost breaking their heads just for a chance to talk to the alien fleet."
Lin Xue nodded. Then, she glanced at me from the corner of her eyes. "Speaking of which, you finally have the time to be decisive?"
I pursed my lips. "I don't like trouble, but I dislike that tube even more."
After this little interlude, we continued to focus on intercepting the asteroid belt. The fleet's United Shield had already withstood tens of thousands of violent collisions. The force of the collisions was enough to launch the entire Earth into the sun a few times over. However, these large numbers of asteroids had already been transported to the depths of the universe through hyperspace. Moreover, the large amount of minerals that we had retrieved from them had somewhat calmed my heartache. Now, every flash of the planet's protective shield was filled with energy!
After watching the fireworks in space for a long time, Shallow Shallow finally couldn't hold it in any longer. On a whim, she dragged me along to experience the rare experience of piloting an assault ship to intercept asteroids. However, it was rather obvious that piloting an assault ship wasn't suitable for Shallow Shallow's completely random reflexes. In the first five asteroids that we intercepted, three of them were knocked down by the assault ship …
It was really rare for a lightly armored assault ship to have such a sturdy shield … Could it be the legendary captain mech?
Since Shallow Shallow wanted to play piloting in space, the firepower system was naturally handed over to me. However, after emptying two magazines, I finally came to a realization: I really wasn't cut out for this. Thus, a certain veteran DPS chose a more efficient method.
I unleashed my superpowers and used a large scale material explosion. The thousands of kilometers around the small assault ship became a moving minefield. Coupled with Shallow Shallow's rampaging momentum in her spaceship, we forcefully broke through the dense meteor shower with just a support battleship with weak firepower. The word 'romance' didn't suit me and Shallow Shallow at all. Other couples would be busy making wishes after seeing a meteor shower. We were probably the only ones who would go and kill the meteors without a second thought.
"Whoa!!! The space battleship is here! Idlers, get out of the way!! "
In the pilot's seat, Shallow Shallow danced with joy, her face filled with excitement. Her movements were even louder than the two engines behind us who were already screaming themselves hoarse. The rear of the streamlined assault ship spewed out blinding blue and white flames, drawing concentric circles in space. All that was left behind were shattered meteors and a large amount of ionized light.
Finally, Sandora shouted in exasperation, "You two idiots over there, get back here! Do you want to destroy your own mothership!? "
That was the situation …
"Whoa … Ah Jun, Ah Jun, aerial combat is so fun! It's so much more fun than on the PS3!"
After being personally escorted back to the mothership by Sandora, Shallow Shallow was still smacking her lips as she spoke while hugging my neck. In the end, Her Majesty the Queen, who was about to go crazy, smacked her on the head and said, "You still dare to say that!? Do you know how dangerous it is to crash into a meteor with a light armored ship!? If it weren't for Ah Jun's abilities, would you have been able to drive the ship back from the asteroid belt by yourself? "
Just as I grinned, Sandora also gave me a karate chop, "And you! Ah Jun! Why are you going crazy with Shallow Shallow as well!? When you guys charged towards that giant asteroid just now, you almost scared me to death! "
After being scolded by Sandora, I naturally knew that we were in the wrong, but how should I put it … Shallow Shallow's ability to incite people was just too strong. Whenever she had a sudden impulse, she would always be able to excite a large number of people around her. Wasn't that how the phrase 'love without boundaries' came about?
It seemed that Sandora had really been frightened just now. The golden-haired girl who was usually calm and collected actually had a trace of shock and relief on her face. Even though she knew our abilities, she was still worried when she saw two newbies who were piloting a battleship for the first time crashing into an asteroid belt.
Feeling the warmth of being cared for in my heart, I gently pulled Sandora into my arms. Feeling the girl's body in my arms gradually calm down, I said softly, "Alright baby, there won't be a next time …"
"Hey, hey, hey, you two, are you done being jealous? If you are, hurry up and come over! "
Lin Xue's voice suddenly sounded not far away from us. This fellow's level of being a third wheel had really risen.
"What's going on?"
I walked briskly to the bridge and asked Lin Xue.
"Look at that," Lin Xue pointed to the opposite side. Below the bridge was the largest command hall of the flagship. In the middle of the hall, there was an enormous holographic projection system. This system could project images up to a hundred meters in the sky, just enough for the officers passing by the bridge to see the current situation of the battle. However, the projection didn't seem to be displaying the earth's defense circle that was being bombarded by meteors, but a dark and cold space instead. "Pay attention to the surrounding starlight."
I took a look and then scratched my head, "Shouldn't the projector be degaussed?"
Sandora forcefully pinched my waist from behind, "That's gravitational interference!"
"The enormous gravitational trap has interfered with the normal starlight, causing it to appear abnormally distorted. However, there's nothing there yet," Lin Xue said as she nodded slightly. Her expression was like that of an expert, "The star is about to appear. It appeared a second earlier than what I predicted. However, our God is well-prepared. Oh right, Blockhead, didn't you go to the central cabin? Did you see Jingle? "
I shook my head, "Jingle used vines to seal off the entire quarantine zone. I can't go through."
"Large-scale gravitational oscillation has begun. The target star is estimated to appear in one minute. All gravitational adjustment teams, activate the gravitational isolation engine. All light spaceships, prepare for impact."
The sudden mechanical voice on the bridge made us quiet down. Then, we focused on the still calm holographic projection.
"… Gravity isolation field has covered the Earth-Moon system. Please prepare for impact. Ten seconds before the target appears … Nine … Eight …"
"… Three … Two … One … The target has appeared. The gravitational wave has arrived."
Just as the electronically synthesized female voice finished speaking, the holographic projection in front of us immediately reacted. Suddenly, a huge spherical object appeared slightly distorted, appearing translucent like jelly. It was a false image formed by the enormous gravitational effect that distorted the curved surface of light. When the abnormal gravitational force from the hyperspace warp gradually dissipated, the star that was more than three hundred times the size of the Sun suddenly appeared in front of us. In the next moment, the entire solar system's gravitational balance began to go out of control.
Facing the huge, ferocious fireball, our expressions were calm as we said in unison, "Hello, Sun."
The dazzling crimson fireball lasted for less than three seconds on the holographic projection. Then, it suddenly distorted violently, as if it was a TV screen with bad connections or a seriously disrupted image signal. It flickered in a grid for a few seconds before suddenly dissipating.
We continued to remain calm as we said in unison, "Goodbye, Sun …"
At the same time, the gravitational balance in the solar system that had just been broken instantly calmed down as the natural order corrected itself. The huge star was deleted just like that, including its subfolders.
"Phew …" Sandora let out a long breath and stretched. "That little thing is quite reliable. All that's left is to send a recovery ship to retrieve that fragment of the star ring. It'll be troublesome if that thing accidentally infects something else."
To be honest, even I didn't expect Jingle, who only had a combat power of 5, to be so powerful after using her divine power. At that moment, I was shocked.
"I'm going to the central cabin to take a look," I said, then turned and ran down the bridge. "I'm going to send some candy to that little thing!"
"Stupid blockhead! You're running in the wrong direction! "
…
The core section of the flagship was still covered in dense vines under the erosion of the Divine Power of Life. The cold metal had directly grown into a vibrant forest, and the violently fluctuating lifeforce made me think of the great explosion that happened here not long ago. I'm guessing that it must have been a spectacular scene filled with special effects that could annihilate all Oscars. Unfortunately, we were all busy watching an unlucky cameo sun at the time, and we were fated to not see that scene.
"Jingle!!"
I called out loudly as I stood in the deep green forest. That little thing loved to hide under a leaf and play with her little toy. If I had gone to look for her … I wouldn't have had to go back today.
After about ten seconds, I finally heard a sparse sound coming from the vines behind me. I turned my head.
"Little thing … Uh, who are you?!"
The person standing in front of me wasn't the super happy little thing that I was familiar with in the past, but a beautiful girl with a tall and slender figure. She was wearing a grass-green sleeveless dress, and she had waist-length green hair. Even her pupils were light green.
