Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"Click..."

Just hearing a "click", the bedroom door opened.

Li Meng walked out naked,

Before taking two steps, golden light surged, and a golden robe suddenly appeared on Li Meng's body.

After taking two more steps, the space in front of him was distorted, and the portal to subspace opened again.

…

S-01981 star system.

"King, after all they are from a foreign race and cannot be trusted. You have to be careful when dealing with them."

After more than a month, ship No. 3 finally arrived in the S-01981 star system again.

This time, the Titan Empire's dimensional submarine did not hide, but parked next to the star gate.

Turning to look at Captain Mullen beside him, Li Meng said: "I know what I know..."

Mullen lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, the transport boat is ready and waiting in Harbor No. 1."

Without saying anything else, Li Meng turned around and walked out of the bridge.

About ten minutes later...

A "V3" transport boat flew out of the No. 1 harbor gate on the left side of the No. 3 ship and flew towards the pyramid spacecraft not far away.

"Li Meng, have the components of the Star Gate been forged?"

As soon as he left the "transport boat", Li Meng saw a person in the harbor outside.

It's Lily...

As she asked, she squatted down and stretched out her right hand.

Stepping on Lily's fingers, Li Meng climbed onto her palm.

"The parts are already on the way. It will take about half a month to arrive..."

There are not many missing parts of the Star Gate, and it will probably consume about a thousand tons of Sikkim.

The Star Gate is not a disposable item. It is self-destructed at the minimum cost to prevent the Blue Devil from parasitizing.

It will be less troublesome to repair when you want to use it again.

Li Meng did not even involve the Terra Empire in this matter, leaving it to the federal government.

It’s only about a thousand tons of Sikkim, and the federal government still has this amount of reserves.

Moreover, the design drawings given by Nishizawa are not precision gadgets, and there are no problems in forging the modules.

Lily asked curiously: "Then what are you doing now?"

"Confirm some things..."

Confirm something?

Lily stopped and said with interest: "Ask me, I know many, many things. There is no need to go to the teacher. The teacher is tinkering with the communication device. If you want to see the teacher, you have to wait for a while."

Li Meng asked: "What happened?"

Continuing to move forward, Lily said as she walked: "A few days ago, the teacher lost contact with "Gaia". It should be that the signal on the "Gaia" side was interfered and it was difficult to receive it here. The teacher thought We wanted to increase the power of the communication device and strengthen the communication signal strength, but unfortunately it failed. Not to mention that we couldn't contact "Gaia", the communication device seemed to be broken. Now it's better, and we can't even receive the signal from the empire. "

Gaia?

These two words were also spoken by Caesar when he first met him.

Li Meng asked again: "Miss Lily, is Gaia the planetary shield that traps the brood consciousness?"

Walking into the conference room where she met Caesar for the first time, Lily put her hands on the table.

After stepping down from Lily's hand, Li Meng turned around and looked at Lily, who looked particularly huge in front of him.

Sitting on the metal chair, Lily nodded and said: "Well, that's it. It is the nanotechnology left by the ancestors. It is a defense system composed of countless nanoforce field robots connected in parallel. They can absorb energy from any situation. For example, light energy and radiation energy are everywhere in the universe.”

Able to absorb energy from any situation?

This ability alone is enough to prove how high the technological content of "Gaia" is.

Li Meng asked again: "Then how much do you know about the forbidden areas?"

After thinking about it, Lily said with some uncertainty: "Probably... maybe, I know everything I need to know."

Speaking of this, Lily stared at the little Li Meng on the table in front of her and asked: "Li Meng, what do you want to know?"

"Lily, you are talking nonsense again..."

Li Meng was about to ask a question, but Xize walked in at this moment.

Seeing the teacher coming, Lily quickly sat up straight.

She said unconvinced: "Teacher, I'm not talking nonsense. I know many, many things about the forbidden area..."

On the main seat, Caesar sat down.

Ignoring Lily's unconvinced gaze, Caesar looked at Li Meng on the table in front of Lily.

"We met again. This time you came here, presumably because you want to know more about the forbidden land from me."

Li Meng nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not just for that. I'm here this time to confirm one thing from you."

Be sure of one thing from him?

After taking a deep look at Li Meng, Xize said, "Please tell me!"

Not politely, Li Meng asked: "If the brood consciousness breaks away from the shackles of "Gaia", what impact will it have on the Titan Empire?"

The Titan Star Domain is not in the S Star Region, but in the universe on the other side of the Star Gate.

Although the distance to the S sector is unknown, it is said to be thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years away.

The Titan Empire is far away in the distant starry sky. No matter how powerful the Blue Devil is, even if the hive consciousness can break through the cage, in a short period of time, the Titan Empire does not need to worry about the threat of the Blue Devil.

Hearing this, the expression on Caesar's face became solemn.

He said: "To be honest, the Blue Devils have a deep connection with the Titan Empire. Once the Blue Devils wake up, no matter how far the empire is from the forbidden land, they will find us one day, and this day will not come too late. This is also one of the reasons why the Empire cares so much about the situation in the Forbidden Land. Otherwise, we would not take the risk of traveling thousands of light-years into the Forbidden Land on an unstable dimensional submarine.”

Is that really the case...

Caesar's answer undoubtedly confirmed what Li Meng had suspected.

Caesar asked again: "Guests from far away, what did you find?"

Li Meng's question made Caesar realize this.

He must have discovered something to confirm something from him.

Li Meng said without changing his expression: "The ghost tribe will not appear in the forbidden area for no reason. They are here and they are the mortal enemies of the Titan Empire. Don't you realize that their purpose may be related to those trapped by "Gaia"?" Is it related to brood consciousness?”

Hearing this, Caesar frowned slightly, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

He shook his head and said: "No, this is impossible. What benefit will releasing the brood consciousness do to them? The Blue Demon is the enemy of all life. The meaning of their existence is to devour all life. Once the Blue Demon is released, it will destroy all life races in the galaxy. Even alien civilizations are not exempt from disasters.”

Li Meng did not refute Xize, but just asked: "Without external help, is it possible for the brood consciousness to break through the cage on its own?"

Nishizawa shook his head again and said: "There is absolutely no such possibility. "Gaia" can absorb any form of energy. Energy attacks will only charge "Gaia" and make "Gaia" stronger. For hundreds of thousands of years, , Blue Devil has been called by the Brood Consciousness many times to go to "Titan" to attack "Gaia", but in the end all efforts were in vain. Instead, the parasitized warships had to fall into dormancy due to exhaustion of energy. In a situation like this, In the historical records of the empire, it has appeared several times. Each time, the empire sent a scientific research ship to the forbidden area to observe, but the result was without exception that "Gaia" successfully trapped the brood consciousness, and the blue demon outside was caused by When the energy is exhausted, they have to disperse and fall into dormancy.”
