Him and their stars.

Chapter 1654 I try not to think too much

Well, a mere carbon-based monkey that can only live for a few hundred years actually thinks that the entire universe is based on a similar, identical moral standard. This is the superficiality of human beings, and this is also the arrogance of human beings.

...This seems to be what Professor Huo said. His character is questionable, but his level should still be there. Yu Lian thinks he should still believe what he said.

In this way, what Xiao Hui said about "ridiculous" certainly makes some sense.

In short, the truth about the Miracle Ring should be very clear now. The friendly forces still there found and activated the mechanism that destroyed the dome of Plate 1487. It is not known whether it was the work of the senior archaeologist Major General Mallowan, the spiritual research association's disciple Long Yuan, or some other heroic team, but it is not important.

The important thing is, no one knows who was so smart and came up with the idea to come up with a way to threaten the Galactic Empire.

It turns out that the effect is obvious.

The Imperial Army fleet in the Ring of Miracles was indeed frightened. Even the famous Vulcan left the temporary port on the ring and opened up a distance of at least one astronomical unit from the ring world.

In this situation, when Yang's fleet entered the Ring of Miracles galaxy from another direction, the Imperial Army did not send anyone to intercept it.

Of course, the Yang Fleet did not act rashly. Although Yang Xiyi appeared arrogant, he was actually very steady. All his seemingly "crazy" actions were the result of careful consideration. He certainly knew that if a fight really came, the Yang Fleet might not be able to defeat a Vulcan. Moreover, the Earth soldiers were actually quite frightened when they saw the miracle ring that destroyed the dome automatically.

Yang's fleet ultimately failed to successfully land on the Ring of Miracles, but only completed a severely interfered gravitational wave communication with Colonel Long Yuan.

Even the sounds from both sides were intermittent and sometimes absent, and the picture clarity was even worse than the two broadcasts Yu Lian received. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the disciple of the Spiritual Research Society, who was clearly a descendant of the Tiruiro nobility but was born and raised on Earth, put on a carefree smile and gave a thumbs up to the camera.

But I don’t know whether everything is going well for them or whether I wish other comrades good luck in fighting.

Another active signal was received, but it was from a Pelican transport work ship belonging to the Community Military. This was a medium-sized armed freighter, which had previously belonged to the logistics department of the expedition fleet, and was perhaps the only survivor of the expedition fleet still in the Miracle Ring galaxy.

After the battle of the Ring of Miracles ended, they had been huddled in the shadows at the side of the ring, shivering, trying their best to disguise themselves as an ordinary protruding piece of furniture in the Ring of Miracles.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the spirit of the universe that they did survive.

Of course, as long as such a small boat does not fly in space, does not start the subspace engine at will, and keeps gliding at low speed close to the main structure of the Ring of Miracles, it is indeed difficult to detect.

So, after going through untold hardships, the Pelican had a brief reunion with Major General Mallowan and his men.

"There are now 200 seriously injured people on the Pelican." Yang Xiyi said.

Perhaps this was the last chance for the resistance fighters on the Miracle Ring to evacuate the wounded. Yu Lian sighed.

"And all the civilian experts of the Pioneer Group who were not captured, a total of 87 people."

They are the only remaining "civilians" on the Ring of Miracles' side, and they should indeed evacuate in advance.

As for the earlier adventurers who also numbered over 10,000, they were all strong and knew how to operate various weapons and large tools, so they had naturally been incorporated by the defenders long ago. Some of them had died in battle, some surrendered with Major General Watt Lar, and some were still fighting with Big Sister Mallowan.

"In addition, there are some things that were brought down from the ring. Haha... According to Major General Mallowan, with these, if we really want to blow up the Miracle Ring, it can be regarded as a souvenir."

Yu Lian's intuition told him that what was brought down from the ring world must not be ordinary things, but this would depend on the results of subsequent research.

After completing the transfer of personnel and items with Major General Mallowan, the Pelican continued to lurk in the shadow of the Ring of Miracles. They originally wanted to find an opportunity to sneak away, after all, the small ship was easy to turn around and of course to escape.

No one knows when the opportunity will come, but Yang Fleet has indeed waited for it.

Therefore, after the two sides met, Yang Xiyi, who had a clear mind, immediately ordered the fleet to retreat. Before the Vulcan Airan on the opposite side could react, they quickly evacuated the Ring of Miracles, and then before the rest of the Imperial fleet rushed over to close the encirclement, they launched a fierce attack to repel an Imperial squadron in front, and then drilled out from the gap in the enemy's array.

I can only say that thanks to the Dawn Nebula, which is connected in all directions, this is a blessed land for interstellar shipping, and it has also become a paradise for innate wandering saints like Yang Xiyi.

As for how the more specific operations were completed, they can only be found in the fleet's navigation log and the detailed battle report submitted by Yang's fleet.

Yu Lian then told Yang Xiyi what he knew and his detailed analysis. After half a minute, the latter's thoughtful expression clearly turned into obvious joy, which could even be regarded as ecstasy.

"I see. If the Empire doesn't find all the remaining soldiers of our army on the Ring of Miracles, they will always feel that there is a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. As long as there is a unit still fighting, or even as long as there are people still breathing, it will be able to tie down a large amount of the Empire's power." He calculated seriously.

Yu Lian agreed, "Yes, in order to find Sister Mallowan and the others, they can only conduct a comprehensive search of the entire Ring of Miracles. Not only can the 600,000 troops not be withdrawn, they may even have to send more troops."

"It's not just about increasing troops, we also need to prepare more fleets to search outside orbit. In addition, it is very likely that we will have to prepare more large-scale exploration, rescue and engineering equipment within the galaxy. These cannot be solved nearby and can only be transported from other galaxies, which will give me more opportunities to do something. Originally, the size of the imperial fleet in the New World was being reduced, but now, it is also being mobilized." Yang Xiyi smiled.

Yu Lian understood the meaning of the other party's words and was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the other party curiously ask: "Then, will the Miracle Ring really not be destroyed?"

"It's not really important." Yu Lian said.

"...Indeed, this is not important at all. What is important is whether our enemies dare to take this risk." Yang Xiyi seemed to understand something and smiled knowingly. Then he said in a firm tone: "And the Galactic Empire definitely wouldn't dare to do that!"

"Oh, why do you think so?" Yu Lian looked at Yang Xiyi's determined expression and asked with interest.

"Even someone like me who doesn't have much faith in the creations of the Enlightened One, and who feels deep down that the emergence of the Ring of Miracles is a disaster for the community, can't bear to see the largest creation of the Enlightened One in history destroyed. What's more, what about the empire that has such a deep obsession?" Yang Xiyi said.

Well, coming from a monument vandal who destroyed Unity Fortress without a second thought, this is indeed very convincing.

"In the final analysis, the prosperous and great civilization of the Galactic Empire was built on a poor imitation of the Enlightened Ones. In this respect, even the civilization established by the profiteers of the Alliance has a more original development path than the Tirrero people."

This is a bit malicious, but it is not completely groundless. There are seven or eight relics of the Enlightened Ones of varying sizes on the empire's home planet, Rui, and the "Dawn Dragon" was also dug out from there. Their art and architectural style were influenced by the Enlightened Ones during the era of their home planet, and it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.

  "The people of Tirui cannot bear the pain of losing a holy heritage of this magnitude, and the emperor cannot accept it even more... Yes, it is precisely because of the emperor that they cannot accept it even more." Yang Xiyi's smile gradually showed obvious malice:

“More importantly, if the Ring of Miracles is really gone, it would not just be the destruction of cultural relics, it would be a slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor! No, it is clearly rubbing His Majesty the Emperor's face on the floor of Longlin Palace!” Yu Lian still felt that it was quite exciting, and he revealed a smile that was even more malicious than Yang Xiyi's.

In a sense, this is actually an unsolvable conspiracy! Moreover, from now on, Sister Mallowan and her team will probably be the unit that bears the most pressure in all the community armies, even far more than the pressure that Yu Lian must face in the Saide Fortress.

But at this time, he could not do anything except give moral support to his comrades in the ring.

I hope they can at least hold on until the day of complete victory.

At this time, Xiaobai sent a new notice: the two largest ships in Yang’s fleet also started their passage tests.

These were two clumsy, even ugly, strange spaceships full of green skins and mixed styles. However, their trajectory still seemed very stable. As everyone watched, they had carefully entered the gravitational range of the star gate.

These two immigrant ships were, of course, captured from the plunderers. They were mobile cities for these interstellar nomads, not only for living, but also for work. Before the war began, they were undergoing repairs and renovations in the Onotia galaxy, so they could take all the people in the colony away at once.

In the nearly one year of interstellar guerrilla warfare that followed, they always followed the main force of Yang's fleet and fought in all directions, and never fell behind.

The so-called regular modification is to add more stable auxiliary bearings and armor plates to them, and add new energy packs to supply new glove life-support devices. In this way, the living space of the immigrant ship seems to be a little smaller, but the habitability has been greatly improved. Even so, these "nomadic ships" in the hands of the plunderers still maintain the rough wasteland style that is hard to describe. The ships are hung with solid meteorite fragments and exposed pipes. At first glance, they still look like assembled building blocks made of various cosmic garbage.

But even if we put aside their crude green-skinned style, they are still the best-preserved ships in the fleet.

At this time, not only the pioneering immigrants of Onotia, but also the staff and their families of major enterprises and bureaucratic departments evacuated from the Unity Fortress, the women and children of Yao Chi, and the experts of the Ring of Miracles, all the civilians were transferred to these two ships.

By now, there were nearly 200,000 "civilians" on the two ships.

It is conceivable that the Yang Fleet had made great efforts and sacrifices to protect them. However, to put it bluntly, they were actually the biggest burden to the Yang Fleet during the guerrilla warfare.

However, these people are a burden in the New World, but if they appear on the mainland, they will be the best producers and builders. And this all depends on whether they can pass through the star gate.

I hope everything goes well. At this point, even Yu Lian, who had witnessed many Stargate tests, was a little nervous.

Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi watched through the star gate as the two immigrant ships suddenly gained speed and sank into the dark blue atmospheric shell that looked like an abyss.

Then, another five minutes passed, and an immigration ship emerged from the other side of the huge blue planet.

As for the other ship, it had already successfully appeared in Tianshu. She had just escaped from the gravity of the star gate and had not had time to stop the ship when two work ships and a medical ship approached her, as if firefighters and doctors were rescuing seriously injured people at a disaster site.

“Don’t worry, since you passed Test 01, Test 02 won’t be far away. The Eighth Star Gate is a very gentle star gate. If you fail to pass it this time, it won’t affect the next time.” Yu Lian comforted.

Yang Xiyi nodded and forced a smile: "A gentle star gate... Then, let's name it the Tower of Babel. This is more auspicious."

  “…Jili?” Have you accumulated so much mental stress recently?

"The same goes for the saying that the humbler the name, the easier it is to maintain. The South Gate of Heaven is very grand, but it is coveted and attacked every day. I hope this star gate can find a different way to survive." Yang Xiyi explained: "Besides, the Tower of Babel was never built in mythology. If something does not exist, it means that the empire will never be found."

You hit both the point and the opposite. You're worthy of me!

Maybe it's because a cheap name is really easy to live with. After Trial 02, the subsequent passage was very smooth. The two destroyers that needed repairs, plus the Alpine repair ship that needed to replenish consumables, also passed through the eighth star gate, which was temporarily named "Tower of Babel".

Two hours later, Yang's fleet conducted another thirty trial passages in batches, and the success rate reached a record high of over 40%.

Fortunately, all of the most damaged ships made it back home, including the battered Lexington and Saratoga, and the emigrant ship Trial 10, carrying another 2 men.

Unfortunately, the Ulysses, where Teacher Yang was, and the Aurora, where senior Eleanor was, were both unsuccessful in the first passage test.

"I heard that this star gate is still unstable. So, is it related to the quality of the ships passing through?"

Yu Lian shook his head slightly: "Professor Zinov is still calculating... I once used a temporary engine to successfully push a 100 million ton asteroid through the star gate without any obstruction."

That is indeed much heavier than an immigrant ship.

"We also fired railguns at the Stargate, but even a shell weighing less than 500kg didn't penetrate it."

"You are so shameless... What I mean is, it is worthy of being a relic of the Enlightenment. What stands out is its unpredictable willfulness!" Yang Xiyi exclaimed in amazement.

"Of course. Can being non-willful still be considered the relic of the Enlightened One?" Yu Lian glanced at a flashing female robot ghost out of the corner of his eye.

"I'm very unhappy that you associated me with it, and I'm even more unhappy with your look. I'm extremely unhappy when you call me a 'relic'. You've materialized a silicon-based fairy like this, and you're just a carbon-based monkey." Xiao Hui said unhappily, "So, I've decided not to teach you the rules for opening this star gate."

Yu Lian thought that the robot was lying again - if she wanted to say something, she would have said it years ago, and there was no need to engage in a tug of war here.

Perhaps seeing Yu Lian's sneer, the robot lady became even more dissatisfied and said unhappily: "From now on, this star gate will definitely remain the same! Unless you find a more detailed password! Humph, but the code number actually exceeds your current mathematical concepts!"

...Indeed, it has already reached the most advanced field of mathematics, and it is not something that can be easily resolved. Of course, professional matters should be handed over to professional teams, and these professional teams are also coming here in fish tanks.

However, Yu Lian still expressed his gratitude to Xiao Hui through telepathy: "Thank you very much!"

"Well, is it ironic or sincere? Although the silicon-based fairy sister is learning, she still doesn't quite understand the puns, metaphors, and sarcasm of the carbon-based monkeys."

"Of course I mean it with sincerity. You said that the star gate will remain as it is. Doesn't that mean that the blue protective cover wrapped around it will also remain as it is? Isn't that a natural cover?"

Xiao Hui glanced at Yu Lian, said nothing, and smiled, which could actually be regarded as an answer.

At this time, the Sky Survey Eye, which was lurking in the neighboring galaxy, also sent the latest intelligence. The two imperial fleets that would join later were heading towards the gravity well leading to this galaxy, and should arrive at this galaxy within two to three hours.

Yang Xiyi said: "In order to ensure the absolute safety of the Star Gate, the trial passage should be temporarily stopped."

The hyperspace mass reaction within the gravity well will leave an energy reaction for days or even weeks, which is also the primary clue for tracking enemy ships. However, the residual traces of subspace navigation within the system will definitely dissipate completely within 150 minutes, and even the top psychic navigators will not be able to continue tracking.

When it comes to the safety of the "Tower of Babel", Yang Xiyi chose the most conservative approach. He can always jump between the most conservative and the most crazy.

“In addition, the remaining ships should stay within the hidden range of the star gate’s protective layer and stay on standby for the time being. I hope that this layer looks like a liquid metal layer and will be an illusion of a liquid metal layer when detected, and it will not suddenly collapse.” Yang Xiyi said again.

"Don't worry, I am sure that my saint intuition tells me that even if the Galactic Empire is destroyed, this protective shield will not be destroyed." Yu Lian said.

"Oh my, what a saint's intuition! Carbon-based creatures, psychic power, eh, I knew it." Xiao Hui did not hide his contempt at all.

However, Yang Xiyi on the other side thought for a few seconds and nodded vigorously: "Although it doesn't sound convincing, mystery is actually one of the qualities of a superior. It's actually very convincing when you say it."

Yu Lian felt that the other party seemed to be mocking him, but because his expression was too sincere and it didn't seem like it, he could only spread his hands tactically.

"Then, let's hold a combat meeting. Bonaparte, Wayne, Kent and Akina are here, so we can have a good discussion. Everyone can speak freely about the direction of the war and the direction of the current situation." Yang Xiyi said.

"That's great! This is probably the most complete meeting the club has had since the war began. But this is just an ordinary combat meeting, don't think too much about it." Yu Lian said.

"..."

"Don't think too much, this is the truth."

“I try not to overthink it.”
