Him and their stars.

Chapter 1924 Thriving

There was a brief pause at the scene.

This was probably because Colonel Fina Lee's tone was so matter-of-fact that no one knew what expression to use.

If not everyone knew the relationship between her and the commander, some people might think she was using a borrowed knife, no, using artillery fire to kill someone.

Of course, some people still raised doubts about this. For example, Xiao Hui, who was floating in the air of the bridge, said in amazement: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, if he doesn't have time to escape, this is a very standard murder of one's husband, right?"

This female robot ghost was the only one on the ship who dared to say such things.

Feifei responded expressionlessly in telepathy: "If I don't murder my husband, I'll murder you. If Aunt Hui's nanocells run slower, she will definitely feel the feeling of being evaporated by the arc, right? Remember to write a paper for me."

Of course, she still explained to the officers who looked puzzled: "The commander has set a space anchor point on the ship. If he encounters danger, he can escape at any time."

"Escape? And then return directly to the ship? We are now more than 20 million kilometers away from that planet." Captain Nemo asked in surprise. However, after seeing Fifi nod, he could only marvel.

Anne Romanova said that although she didn't understand psychics, she naturally trusted Feifei: "So, we can see the effect of the arc cannon attacking the planet?"

"It can't be blown up. We've already tried it on an unmanned dwarf planet on the way."

"After all, dwarf planets and planets are not the same thing... Well, I just said that, I'm not that curious."

Of course, the reason why Feifei aimed the arc cannon at that planet was just to be on the safe side. Since Yu Lian had already ordered him to stay, he still had to do his job well.

As the Silence slowly approached the target planet, everyone on board continued to monitor the movements of the surrounding imperial forces. In order to ensure the existence of the warning network, Feifei suggested (ordered) to release all the sky-scanning eyes and sent eight torpedo ships carrying reconnaissance equipment to the surrounding starry sky.

In short, since the purpose is to investigate, both unmanned and manned means will be used.

In addition, the communications team continued to call Lieutenant Colonel Deng Zhengqing of the anti-shipping fleet. They changed more than a dozen encrypted community military communication bands and even made reverse calls to all the signal sources of the wide-area gravitational wave broadcasts that they had searched for, and finally received a positive response.

There was no video, only sound. I didn't know if there was something wrong with the equipment on the opposing warship or if they were still on alert.

"This is Red Space No. 172. I am Deng Zhengqing. Please speak."

It was indeed Deng Zhengqing's voice. Although he remained basically calm, decent and clear, his words still failed to conceal his nervousness and excitement.

"Inform him of our identities and give him the star map coordinates. Ask him to come over immediately to meet us. This is Commander Yu's order." Feifei said.

Her suggestions (commands) were justified and everyone executed them as a matter of course. Even Captain Nemo did not show any dissatisfaction.

Ten minutes later, a new communication came in.

"My troops are on their way. I repeat, my troops are on their way." It was obvious that Deng Zhengqing was trying hard to hold back his excitement. If he was like this, it was needless to say what the people in the commerce-breaking fleet were like.

However, three minutes later, the second telegram from the commerce-breaking fleet was sent.

"The Battle Flag battleship where the leader of the Franmore Freedom Army, Peleliu Riverman, and his fleet have passed through the blockade and entered the Diamond Nebula, and are approaching the city of Bazan. They have sent a distress signal to the headquarters, hoping to get our response."

Feifei was slightly startled, then she laughed: "Look, the rebels are much stronger than their masterminds."

At this moment, three hours have passed since the destruction of the Empire's Magus Fleet.

More than an hour has passed since Marshal Yu Lian followed Xia Li and the Zerg Mothership into the thin atmosphere of the fourth planet in this galaxy.

This is a brown-yellow terrestrial planet with an estimated total reserve mass of about two-thirds of the Earth. It has been confirmed to have a thin atmosphere, polar ice caps, and a large amount of minerals. It has many similarities with Mars and has considerable development value.

Yu Lian followed Xia Li through the rugged canyons on the planet's surface. With just a light leap, he could jump hundreds or even thousands of meters. However, when he stepped on the reddish-brown sandstone, it felt like he was stepping into a can of solidified rust. When the soles of his boots crushed the iron oxide powder, it made a crisp sound similar to crushing caramel.

The thin atmosphere made the orange-red sunlight unusually sharp, casting an eerie blue-gray hue on the skyline.

In front of them, there was a towering mountain range that was tens of thousands of meters high. Its edge was like a burnt sawtooth, burning a double image in Yu Lian's vision.

"The current temperature is minus 27 degrees. The gravity is 68 percent of that on Earth." Xiao Hui's voice danced in Yu Lian's ears. Compared to the latter's bouncing, she was still floating in the air.

"It's a good planet." Yu Lian sighed, "The natural conditions are much better than those on Mars. However, there are already 500 million people living in the transformed settlements on Mars, but there is nothing here." Having said that, there are too many valuable planets in the universe that can only wait in line for immigration and development. It is still a long way to go before this generation of civilization and intelligent creatures can fill the living space.

However, under such circumstances, the Tirrero people under the command of the Dragon Kings can always maintain a strong desire for conquest, which can only be said to be due to their nature.

Xia Li actually agreed with Yu Lian's sentiments, and then said: "That's why he always believed that the way the people of the empire lived was problematic and must be changed. The desires of the Dragon Kings kidnapped all the Tirelo people, but the Tirelo people are obsessed with this false sense of honor and cannot extricate themselves. This is the greatest tragedy in the universe."

Yu Lian was once again certain that if he had been born two hundred years earlier, he would have become a good friend of Earl Salwen.

"This planet was discovered by my father in the year 587 of the Common Era, but he never reported it to the imperial government." Xia Li told Yu Lian.

"Did Count Salwen also discover the secret of the Zerg here?" Yu Lian asked.

"I have such suspicion, but he didn't say it in his diary." Xia Li said.

"The Empire had already established stable rule and military routes in Helots and Symoe before the beginning of the Common Era. It is hard to imagine that in a thousand years, the Empire would not be able to find a star system within the core territory."

"You mean to say that its existence is similar to that of the Dawn Nebula, and it will only be revealed when key elements are met?" Xia Li glanced at Yu Lian: "I have also considered this possibility, but there is no record of this in my father's diary. Maybe the data is damaged again."

"…Your father's records always get destroyed at critical moments."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm not an electronic engineer and I really don't understand data recovery. What's more, this is a device from 200 years ago." Xia Li was helpless.

Yu Lian glanced at Xiao Hui out of the corner of his eye and signaled with his eyes.

However, the robot lady responded with a disdainful look: "I am a dignified civilization-guiding AI. I have never fallen to the level of a hacker AI. I will not steal the personal information of a desperate little girl. Brother Yu Lian, you can't insult me ​​just because your sister is kind."

"I asked you to see if you can help her recover the data."

"Does it make a difference? Does it make a difference?"

Xia Li naturally didn't notice Yu Lian and Xiao Hui's actions. She just gritted her teeth and said, "Maybe the snake has a more complete information backup? But I was in such a hurry when I escaped that I didn't have time to take everything with me. Snake! Snake! Snake!"

She gnashed her teeth, her eyes almost spitting fire, and turned to look at Yu Lian, completely hiding her blatant hatred. She was like a vengeful evil ghost crawling out of the abyss.

"I'm not a snake." Yu Lian took out Xingzhi again and tapped it on his palm.

Xia Li's hatred disappeared, and a smile full of emotional intelligence returned to her pretty face again: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm a pervert. No, I lost my temper. I, I, I'm just looking for a host for my hatred. This, I'm really sorry, wuwuwuwu, I won't do it next time. Oh, we're almost there, this way."

Xia Li pointed to the hills in front of them. The rolling mountains were like a curtain wall between heaven and earth, blocking the two of them and extending all the way out of their sight.

Their average height is definitely over 10,000 meters, and the steepest peaks are even more than twice that number. There are no such majestic mountains on Earth.

The Leviathan mothership flagship was hanging in the sky above the mountains, overlooking the planet, as if guarding its master.

"That's it." Xia Li pointed to the highest mountain in sight: "15000 meters underground on that mountain is the underground palace of the Enlightened One. As long as I hide in there, even if the emperor comes, he won't be able to find me."

"Yeah, it's a very familiar setting." Yu Lian nodded with his chin in his hand, and then couldn't help but glance at Xiao Hui.

Speaking of his previous life, he hid in Xiao Hui's underground palace for several months, so naturally he understood Xia Li's actions too well.

"So, are we going to drill the hole now?" Yu Liangang said this when he suddenly felt the vibration underground.

Very subtle vibrations, just like earthworms fertilizing the soil.

He took a step back and directly opened the force field shield.

Then, the red desert in front of him suddenly raised its ridge, and sand poured down to both sides like a waterfall. The high-frequency vibration from the ground crushed the entire rock layer into powder. Then, a 30-meter-long dark brown shell broke out of the ground, and the friction between its scales and the Martian rock splashed out blue-purple arcs, and the peeling debris condensed into suspended metal mist in the thin atmosphere.

That is the rock-eating worm, also known as the "marching worm", a special forces worm.

It can move underground with earthworm-like presence and dig tunnels at the level of a shield machine. It can be said to be a pioneer unit that marches secretly and kills and burns people.
