Infinity Frontier

In the Martian cosmos, a fleeting ripple suddenly appeared in the tranquil universe. A warship, completely integrated into its surroundings, silently orbited Mars at a constant speed.

Since arriving on Mars, the Wanderer has orbited the planet more than a dozen times, deploying countless probes along the way. Through these probes, the Wanderer has brought the Martian surface under complete surveillance.

Any unusual movement or disturbance on the Martian surface could be detected immediately and made known to the crew aboard the Lost.

More than half a year has passed between leaving Mars and returning, and Mars has undergone significant changes in that time.

Previously, due to limited resources, Xiao Yun did not know much about Mars, but he did know about the Martian colony Utopia, at least he had set foot in that place.

In just over half a year, that utopia was almost completely submerged under endless yellow sand, looking even more desolate and dilapidated. Expanding to the whole of Mars, it was more like a forbidden and dangerous place that was difficult for people to approach. And this place had completely become the territory of the Jupiter Lizards, with no trace of human activity left.

The Bewilder's arrival this time is not to change anything, much less to seize control of Mars from the Jupiter Lizards. Even if a single ship has outrageous combat power, it is not enough to do that. At most, it can only cause trouble and destruction around Jupiter.

But such a desolate planet, even with a few well-preserved buildings still standing, is not worth doing this at all.

Xiao Yun's return to Mars this time was purely to find the location of the legendary ruins. The approximate location has been determined by Chi Yueliu. However, it is different from what Xiao Yun initially thought, because there is actually more than one ruin on Mars.

The largest ruins are located in the polar regions of Mars. They were discovered deep underground by Nilgar Heavy Industries during mining operations and are still operational to this day.

In addition, there is a ruin beneath the colony of Utopia, and the Utopia colony was built based on this ruin. Just like the underground of Nigel Heavy Industries, things that do not belong to this era have been found.

More importantly, Nierga Heavy Industries had already conducted research on this. When the giant green pepper called the Tulip of the Jupiter Lizard is running, or when it is performing boson jumps, the relic will react accordingly. Therefore, Nierga Heavy Industries believes that the relic is the control system for the relevant jumps, or a special system that can control bosons.

If this system can be cracked and its principles understood, NieRG Heavy Industries will be able to use boson jumps at will, and from then on, NieRG Heavy Industries will be able to stand at the pinnacle of all humanity and usher in the era of space exploration.

But if Nierga Heavy Industries can really achieve this and use it as its foundation, then it will be much more than just starting the Age of Space Exploration. Although Akatsuki Ryu didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Yun knew very well that if they could completely crack the code, the whole world would probably be at Nierga Heavy Industries' mercy.

This is not only the foundation of Nigel Heavy Industries, but also the foundation of humanity in this world.

On the bridge of the Bewilderment, Xiao Yun stood with his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on the large screen in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.

Compared to the underground remains of the Utopia Colony and the Nilgar Heavy Industries Mars Distribution, the remains discovered in the polar cap are the true core.

Since Nierga Heavy Industries could discover this, the Jupiter Lizards could also discover it. On the large screen in front of Xiao Yun, countless Jupiter Lizard warships were stationed on the ruins.

From the outside, this place looks like a huge mining site, with spiraling descents that look no different from those massive mining sites on Earth, except that it's enormous. The ruins are located very deep beneath the mining site, about forty kilometers below the surface. If it were unguarded, getting close would be a simple matter.

But the situation is different now. Numerous warships are scattered above the ruins, roughly two hundred in number, and there are also more than a dozen giant green peppers used as teleportation devices among them.

Even if Xiao Yun was overconfident, he never thought of using the Bewilderment, a single warship, to overwhelm the ruins' defense fleet, and then descend to a depth of forty kilometers underground, braving the threat of Jupiter Lizard's annihilation to rush down and study that thing.
He was confident but not stupid. Even if he rushed down and stood in front of the ruins, it would be useless, as no researchers could study what was down there.

Therefore, Xiao Yun can only watch from here for now, and at most he can sneak in to find out what's going on inside. He can't really do anything else.

However, after observing for a while, Xiao Yun found that the situation seemed to be more complicated, and even in stealth mode, it would be difficult to break in.

Xiao Yun glanced at seat number 1 to his right and in front of him: "Still don't understand what's going on?"

Just now, the screen showed a rock falling from a high place towards the ruins, but strangely, the rock, which should have fallen, drew a peculiar downward arc and was bounced far away.

This scene made Xiao Yun, who was originally planning to sneak down to check the situation, immediately abandon his idea. The people on the bridge also immediately began to analyze what was going on.

Surprisingly, several minutes passed and there was still no sound.

"BOSS, according to the analysis, the surface of the mining area seems to have a defensive barrier similar to a dimensional distortion defense system. We don't know the size of this defensive barrier yet, but based on the movement trajectory of that stone, the range should be quite large."

Number 1 spun his chair toward Xiao Yun and said, "It's uncertain whether it's the ruins' self-protection mechanism or something created by the Jupiter lizard. The initial conclusion is that this barrier is enveloping the entire ruins."

Xiao Yun: "What about the data provided by Nigel Heavy Industries?"

Number 1 shook his head: "There is no record of this, at least it wasn't done by Nigel Heavy Industries."

Xiao Yun nodded slightly. In fact, judging from the situation of the mining area above the ruins, it was clear that this defensive barrier was something that Nierga Heavy Industries did not have before, otherwise this place would not have looked like a huge spiral mining area.

If even a stone can be deflected, then it also proves that a person would be deflected in the same way.

Number 1 looked at Xiao Yun and asked, "BOSS, what should we do now? Should I go down and test it myself?"

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yun shook his head slightly: "No need, let's wait. For now, let's not alert them; let's observe the situation first." (End of Chapter)
