The scale of this strange space complex is about as large as that of the solar system. Although it is equivalent to a drop in the sea compared to the special space area of ​​surroundings, its absolute scale is still quite impressive. Shandora controls spaceship to cast in the outer area A large number of detection equipment then slowly progressed into the interior of the building complex, and as we continued to progress, all strange phenomena began to appear.

"space readings are not normal, there seems to be something hidden here, but for a while it seems that it ca n’t be cracked," Shandora looked strangely at the device in front of him and the panoramic view of the entire space complex, "A'Jun you see There is a large blank near the core area. There should be something right here. Looking at these, it is obviously the outer buildings-but the inner buildings of their arches are missing. "

"I haven't found the role of this complex yet?" I asked curiously.

"No, what we have discovered so far are facilities such as weapon platforms, warehouses and ports. These facilities can be seen in any space base. If this is a common space colony, it is simply too much. Disappointed, "Shandora slowly floated in front of the large data terminal, while ordering the shipboard host," Begin to analyze the space structure here, maybe something like Space Crack is hidden here. "

I look at the Hologram projection next to it. From here, I can clearly see the structure of the entire space building complex. It is a classic multi-layer spherical space community. There are dozens of Jingwei buildings from the inside out. Area, forming a structure like a spherical shell, the outermost building layers appear to be sparse, the more buildings there are, the larger the scale, but this rule is broken when the third-to-last innermost building group Too: The core three-story building complex is extremely sparse. There are large and meaningless empty areas. Only alloy frames of unknown significance and tower and fortresses as auxiliary buildings can be seen in space, just like the city center. All the buildings were erased out of thin air, but all the roads and gate kiosks around the building were left. Without Shandora reminding me, I can see at first glance that this is not right.

But those anomalous open areas are not covered by simple optical camouflage or the like. The detector shuttled there several times and finally determined that there was really "nothing" there, at least empty in the normal space-time sense of.

Of course, Shandora has found that the space readings here are abnormal, so there are 9 out of 10 buildings here that are hidden by what Space Crack: once again proved that the former owners of these buildings have a technology far beyond the tree Pixie/Elf.

The engineering ship is slowly patrolling in this unusual open area, waiting for the scattered probes to return more useful information, and Shandora is taking this opportunity to slowly study the various energy readings diffused in space: "There are hidden The energy fluctuations comes from the "vacuum", they are the same level of energy as Youneng, so it probably penetrated the space blockade here. Um ... there is still Youneng? Is there any Imperial equipment in the hidden things? Let me Look at what else ... The energy form that I haven't seen before, Old Empire has not been recorded. At that time, the race that fled into this Universe seems to have a very complex composition. Perhaps it has something to do with those fourth and fifth exile fleets? "

It ’s not surprising to find that Youneng can say that the tree Pixie/Elf is also the last family of the empire, and there may be other Old Empire servants who fled into this Universe. Most of the equipment they bring is with Youneng, This space relic may be a facility built in exile with race. I'm curious ... Does Tenjin Forge refer to such a complex of unknown significance? So far I haven't found that it has any height that is lined with the words "Tianjin Forge". The only special point is that some buildings are hidden. Perhaps the key to the problem lies in the hidden buildings?

As I pondered, I studied the image from the probe, and then a silver-white metallic luster suddenly caught my eye.

"Shandora, do you think this is an imperial facility?" I immediately patted the Shandora ball in mid-air and took the latter together to look at the Hologram projection in front of me: the image has been zoomed in and the center is A long strip of alloy building, this building has the typical silver white + silver gray shell with blue paint style of the imperial facilities, but did not see the Empire Army emblem, maybe the part of the military emblem was cut off-this long strip The shape-shaped facility does not look complete. One end of it completely disappears into space in simultaneously, as if cut by a sharp edge.

"80% is ... look at the past," Shandora glanced at it and made the decision, "Let spaceship work for us, let's go."

The shipboard AI of this engineering ship can complete most tasks independently. Shandora left it with an order to continue to crack the space anomaly here and every facility of the entire to scan complex, and then pulled it (although she is not Hand) I teleported to the silver-white long strip facility. By the way, we also brought a few self-discipline machines for unexpected needs.

This seemingly empire-style alloy building is three kilometers long, seven hundred meters wide and three hundred meters high. Although there are some structural protrusions on the surface, the whole is still an unconventional whole cuboid. For the time being, consider it as the end) Slightly converged, something similar to the loading gate can be seen on the end armor plate, and a piece of armor plate cracked due to unknown reasons, and a large number of connection bolts and crystals are exposed from below the armor plate Chemical pipeline: This structure is used for physical connection with external energy and data systems.

At the other end of the facility, there is a clear sign of severing, there is a neat and sharp oblique cut. The scale of the entire facility may be larger than it is now. At the other end, it may be a large structure with complex structure. Even the long metal structure in front of us is just a little fur of the entire facility, but it makes no sense: this thing It seems that there is only such a small section floating here for people to admire.

Yes, this is an imperial facility. Although no military emblems or other conspicuous marks are seen, the shell is made of a super alloy special for Xiling, and the crystal network exposed under the metal shell is also an empire. Features of science and technology. It's just that the energy of this building seems to have been completely exhausted, and even the residual waves in the energy vein have been dissipated, so you can't see the familiar blue luminous grid on the armor plate, and you can't feel the quietness it emits. Can fluctuate.

"At first glance, I thought it was a spaceship," I slowly landed on the surface of this alloy facility holding the Shandora ball, and the several self-discipline machinery behind me quickly circulated the entire building to scan Get up, "I have never seen such a building. spaceship is not like spaceship. The turret is not like a turret, nor is it like a living room or energy group, and it is not a factory."

"There are no identifiable marks, it can only be confirmed that it was made by the empire, and the specific function needs to be confirmed after to scan is completed," Shandora's sounded in her mind, then she jumped in my arms, Why are you always holding me these days? Although it ’s not unhappy ... but why do you often hold me after I turned into a ball? "

I: "... round, always worried that if you don't pay attention, you'll be gone."

Shandora ball: "..."

This alloy facility has been completely shut down. Naturally, there is no gravity environment, which is very uncomfortable: I still like the down-to-earth feeling. I am still used to feeling that the zero gravity environment is an annoying thing in the past two years, but the Shandora ball On the contrary, she seems to like this kind of place that can be floated casually. After earning her efforts from her arms, she has been floating ahead as a "wizard"-although we both don't know what this thing is doing, but Shandora looks like It is probably clear where its entrance is.

"A'Jun! Here!" The Shandora ball happily shook up and down from a hundred meters away. "Here is the entrance! If the shallow to scan is correct, it should be able to directly enter the personnel passage!"

I quickly drifted over, and I saw a gate structure with a width of more than ten meters in the middle of the connection section of the armor belt. Of course, due to the exhaustion of energy here, the gate was opened by can do nothing about it in the normal way, but this is not a problem, and the Shandora ball changed again. The flat shape floated toward the groove at the top of the gate ... I quickly pulled her back and directed the self-discipline machinery that came behind to cut the gate forward and educated my own Her Majesty the Queen: "Queen Hey, you just pay a little attention Your own image! Isn't your form specially designed to pry the lock? "

Speaking of the word "pry lock", I can't help but start thinking about running wildly: at this moment If the little Raven and Little Bubbles are beside how good, then the sliding door pry lock and bear duo, there are two of them in this place to estimate what The space blockade was given away in vain ... I haven't been tossed by the family of bear children for a few days, but I still feel lonely. Can I still save?

The charged armor that loses its charging effect is just a super alloy with a high resistance. After a moment of sparking and splashing with a self-discipline mechanical engineering cutting arm and a drill belt, appeared was quickly enough on the gate. In a passageway, the metal on the wall of the passageway still glowed with the hot red light, so I flew in with the Shandora ball: This is a very spacious white corridor, but it is a pity.

I also intend to let Shandora provide lighting, but Her Majesty the Queen hit my head with contempt: "I ’m dead brained, there is no lighting equipment here, I let the engineering ship send a support machine, the energy network here seems to be No problem, it will probably be used when power is restored. "

A 100-meter-long, fat-duty work boat was separated from a distant engineering ship, and soon connected himself to this strange, rectangular facility. The work boat carries a portable high-efficiency power furnace that is particularly useful in this situation. Because we have confirmed that there is a physical connection plug for the crystallizing pipe network at the end of this facility, it is not a problem to restore the lighting of the facility. Of course, we only Restoration of the lighting system and part of the environmental maintenance system of this facility-First, the external power stove has limited output, it is impossible to support the restoration of such a large building, and second, to prevent accidents, this place has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years, hastily Restoration of power is really not allowed to blow up directly.

As external energy goes online, the lighting system of the corridor resumes work, and artificial gravity appears again. Although the atmospheric problem has not been solved for the time being, it is at least more comfortable than before. I and Shandora began to explore here curiously, and I soon discovered a familiar phenomenon ... all the devices here have no nameplate!

There are no signs on the data terminals inlaid on the walls, and there are no nameplates on the sides of the corridor. I ca n’t see anything that can explain the “bloodlines” of this facility. All the signs indicate that ...

"Abyss Xilin to be everywhere," I looked at a fixed data terminal with no nameplate inlaid on the wall, and I could n’t bear the consciousness of tsukkomi/ridicule ’s clustering spirit wherever it went, “This place I am afraid that it was made by the abyss Xilin again. It seems that the tree Pixie/Elf was divided into two runs, one of which followed the guidance of Harlan, and the other one probably caused an accident, and was later rescued by the abyss Xilin-that It should be the time when she was not crazy. So this place is actually part of the Ark in exile? "

There is no nameplate and no logo. This is the biggest feature of the equipment secretly manufactured by Abyss Xi Ling at the end of Old Empire. So far, we have not found this feature in other imperial creations. Abyss Xi Ling made these things before he was completely contaminated. They are basically used to rescue refugees (the abyss Xi Ling was not black at all, and there are conscience virgin girls), so It ’s not surprising to discover the abyssal creation in a Universe that may be an exile. I ’m just that didn't expect guy personally helped the tree Pixie/Elf at that time: Harlan has no record of this aspect, it seems that he and Shandora have no intention He broke a headless case in ancient times.

This World looks more and more interesting.

"Ark in exile is not easy to say, but it must be related to the abyss Xiling," Shandora is trying to restart the data terminal in front of her. She extended a lot of golden lines from body to connect to the data terminal. I read this stuff, but after a few minutes of tossing, she was greatly disappointed. "Well, there is no meaningful information at all."

"This place seems to be just a ... Peripheral equipment. The device log shows that it is called" No. 3 Energy-Conducting Long Bridge ". Do you know what it means? That is, this place is at best an equipment for conducting energy," The Shandora ball put away the golden lines on his body and slowly floated forward. "The third bridge, this signify has one and two, and there may be four or five 6-7 eight nine ... but why we can only see This Long Bridge No. 3? And it's just a small piece left. "

I kept up with the Shandora's "Footsteps" while looking curiously at the unusually wide corridors on both sides: "The long bridge of energy-conducting? Why can't I remember that the imperial facility has such parts. Say what are you going to do with it? Ah? "

Shandora didn't look back: "Go to the break, isn't the end of this 'long bridge' seem to be cut off? I feel like it's not as simple as a simple break."

The shape of this rectangular alloy facility is simple, and its internal structure is also simple and clear: we are located at the central corridor of the "No. 3 Energy-Conducting Long Bridge". This corridor directly runs through the entire facility. Going to the end, you must remember that one end of this ruin was cut off? Right now, Shandora and I are standing in this broken position, looking at the corridor in front of me and the entire alloy frame outside the corridor interrupted out of thin air. In front of me is the dark space.

"What was it cut off?" I was surprised, observing the smooth and neat cross section of the alloy wall beside me, and finally ran out with interest and flew a circle, um, I can't see anything outside There should be a rather magnificent Xiling building here. The silver facilities several kilometers long in front of us are just a part of the building, and there are more than one such parts, but now you can see ... … Only this is called the “No. 3 Energy-Conducting Long Bridge”, or even a small section of the fragment(s).

I suspect that the building is not really "disappearing", but is also hidden by something like the space gap, just like the large and unusually large open area here, it is under the eyelids of itself and Shandora , I may now stand on the surface of this building or merge into its walls (this is really creepy visual sense), but due to the abnormality of space, it is as if it is parallel to Universe and cannot be perceived-let ’s say the engineering ship When can the space password be cracked?

"What's wrong with God knows, the space encryption method here is very clever, even smart ... it's on par with Old Empire," the Shandora ball also curiously studied the stubble at the end of the corridor, and then stayed with me in space It ’s spinning inside, like a naughty satellite rotating around me, “The detector has found a lot of anomalous signals in the open area here, but each signal is encrypted, and these signals hide a folded space , We have to interpret the correspondence between foldable space's coordinate and Real World's coordinate in order to understand what is hiding in this place ... um, do you seem to understand this principle? "

I thought for a while and decided to say that I understand very well, otherwise it will definitely be popularized by Shandora on the spot for two and a half hours. In fact, it probably means that I can really understand, and I haven't learned anything in the past two years.

"The scale of the building complex we have seen is already very large, but its real secret is only the small piece in the middle. This piece of space, which is roughly the size of the sun, is hidden by a space seal equipment that is still in operation. There are a lot of these things outside, but they are worthless—it ’s just martyrdom. ”After the Shandora ball was caught by me, I finally stopped circling, but lay softly on my shoulder and murmured,“ I think This is definitely significant even if it is not a Tenjin Forge-here is an imperial facility. A'Jun You know, the imperial facility, produced by the abyss Xiling, the coffin-level treasure that was brought when the tree Pixie/Elf fled to this point, and was also set Such a tight space blockade equipment hides ... what a secret! "

I gently patted the Shandora ball that was softly lying into the shape of mochi again, and suddenly found that the surface of the "No. 3 Energy Guide Long Bridge" was rapidly spreading with beautiful blue patterns, and then ...

The work boat connected to the complete end of the energy-conducting long bridge disintegrated silently.
