Is it really okay to click on the Starry Sky technology tree in Star Railway?

She wanted to catch up with the figure walking in front, even if they couldn't be shoulder to shoulder, she couldn't be too far behind... At least, at least she had to be responsible for him!

The two spent several hours to come up with a solution. Seele had always been nonchalant about her brothers and sisters. Since there was no problem, she did not delve into it any further. Instead, she asked Bronya about the progress of Beloberg, the capital of the empire.

Xier has been immersed in the sea of ​​books since her awakening. Even when she has some free time, she devotes herself to fleet management. She has often asked the captains for advice on space combat theories. Because of Chen Lin's instructions, the captains were very generous in teaching Xier all the tactics they were good at. Some were good at guerrilla warfare, some were good at winning by surprise, and some were good at large-scale army battles.

Some of the pirate groups that had come before were the ones she used for training.

She planned a lot of things, but in the end she just used her awakened abilities to launch a feint attack and sneak attack on dozens of warships. Other pirates who were captured for surrender were also thrown into prison by her, waiting to be dealt with slowly when Chen Lin came back.

"I heard that Clara and Silva made a big thing. I saw it in the middle of the square on my way here. What is that thing for?"

Chapter 154: This is the L Star Gate!

Nowadays, there are no ordinary residents in the administrative district. The entire area here and even the several kilometers extending outward are all the departments and institutions of Beloberg. The administrative district square has become a veritable administrative square. However, there are limited places available for citizens to come in and visit at certain times every week.

Suddenly, there was a thing bigger than a house standing in the square, emitting a dazzling white light that reached into the sky. It was hard for Xier not to notice it.

Bronya smiled and said, "It's a large shield launcher. Sister Sylva used to be an expert in studying positions and star core theory, and Clara is very talented in this area, so the two of them decided to make a force field shield for military use. As a result, Clara somehow enhanced the effectiveness of the position launcher used to protect the army... Well, I don't understand the specific principle, but it can use a very small amount of earth marrow to provide Beloberg with 15 layers of extremely high resistance position barriers."

"So powerful?" Xier asked in surprise.

"More than that." Bronya walked to the file cabinet and took out a stack of reports. "This is the test report submitted by Sister Sylva and Miss Clara. It is said that in the test, these barriers can withstand hundreds of ship bombs. After breaking down, they will restart and repair the damaged barriers in a short time. And after being blessed by Sister Sylva's ability, these barriers with psychic powers can also cause corresponding electric shock counterattacks to attackers."

"Oh, Xiluwa, her ability is really terrifying. She can use electric current to attack anyone within the range without any medium or conductor." Xier nodded, not quite understanding. "If she wasn't so focused on scientific research now, I think she would have no problem being a military general."

Bronya smiled and shook her head: "Sister Seele, you just think about fighting and killing all day long. If that's the case, Miss Clara's ability is probably more suitable for the army. But even if Miss Clara wants to join the army, the instructor will definitely not agree if he knows."

Shiluva can convert psychic energy into high-voltage electricity and can conduct the current generated by her psychic energy without relying on any medium. According to her, the consumption is not high. If Beloberg runs out of electricity one day, Shiluva alone can easily support the power supply of the entire capital.

As for Clara...

Just as Bronya said, his psychic abilities are extremely suitable for fleet combat.

Damage is inevitable during ship combat, but Clara's ability allows her to reassemble shattered mechanical parts in an instant, and she can even rub out the desired parts with her bare hands using only raw materials.

Secondly, metal fatigue is an irreversible damage, but Clara can perfectly eliminate the metal fatigue caused by long-term use of metal. Even damaged ships can be easily repaired by Clara, and even maintained to make them look brand new.

Thanks to this power, Clara and Silva were able to create a shield launcher capable of protecting the entire city shortly after drawing the design.

In addition to the two men's genius brains, they also benefit from the indispensable superpower of psychic powers.

Xier had indeed learned a lot more than before, but she still had only a limited understanding of psychic energy. She could only sigh after a long pause, "Amazing!"

With more things in her head, Xier feels differently about many problems.

She used to think that whoever had the bigger fist was powerful, but now she knows that when technology reaches a certain level, ships traveling in the starry sea will at most need to be rebuilt if they are destroyed, but the death of talented scientists means one less.

When it comes to mass-produced equipment and unique talents, it is obvious that ten destroyers are no match for a genius scientist.

At this time, the projection communicator on Bronya's desk made a sound, as if someone was contacting her.

These are all made with ready-made technologies brought by the scientists sent by Estar. They are not rare in the entire galaxy and are very basic technologies.

Seeing this, Seele stood up and stood aside with a stern face, contrary to her attitude of chatting with Bronya just now. The space in her hand twisted twice, and a huge sickle appeared in her hand, looking like a guard.

Bronya smiled sheepishly and then answered the call.

The moment the call was connected, Bronya showed what it meant to control her temperament in a balanced manner, looking like a majestic leader.

The person who sent the communication was a captain of the patrol fleet. Normally, they did not have the right to contact Bronya directly, but considering that Seele was not in the headquarters at the moment, it was probably because of this that they had important matters to report to her.

The shadow of a middle-aged man appeared in the administrative hall. He saw Seele next to Bronya and bowed with an expression of "I knew it would be like this".

"Greetings to the Great Guardian Leader and the Commander-in-Chief. I am here to report the victory. The battle to eliminate pirates near Tianle-III ended in a great victory. We destroyed 12 pirate ships in the territory, seized 2 transport ships, and captured 1741 prisoners. The details of the victory report have been sent to the commander's mailbox."

Both of them knew the captain. Xi'er praised excitedly, "Well done! Are there any small leaders alive? Jers, you should find a way to force them to tell you where their hometown is. I will lead the troops to rob them some other day!"

"I have already found out that the coordinates of their base are not far from our country. Commander, do we need to send a frigate to investigate first?"

"Go! Of course! How can we not rob pirates if they rob us? I love robbing pirates the most!!" Xier said happily.

"As ordered, I will take my leave first."

With that the communication ended.

Bronya never asked about the fleet's affairs. Now, after hearing the conversation between the captain and Seele, she finally understood why Seele would bring back large quantities of various supplies and technical information after each pirate raid.

She had long felt that something was wrong, as to how could a pirate ship have such various technical materials stored in it? However, she had not taken it too seriously, and had always told herself that these were all spoils of war seized from those ships. She had never imagined that these things were actually robbed from the pirates' hometown by Xier and her troops.

"Sister Xi'er, this will have a bad influence, right? ? ?"

"Hey, my great guardian, don't worry, we are punishing evil and promoting good. The star sea route is full of dangers. Others dare not come to do business with us. This is to clear the way for future customers." Xier put her hands on her hips and said righteously: "Look at how many dangers those scientists encountered on the way to us. Almost more than half of them were caused by pirates. Just kill them!"

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true, and Bronya nodded.

"be careful."

"Then when..."

Xier still wanted to say that this group of pirates posed a huge threat. The weapons on dozens of ships were not as many as the clustered turrets of one of their own frigates. The shells they fired at them could only scratch the skin at most. After a big battle, no attack damaged the ship itself. They were all blocked by the ship's own shield or counter-missiles.

Before she could speak, the two of them suddenly felt a spatial fluctuation in the hall. They all turned their eyes to the side and stopped talking.

Seele stepped forward and protected Bronya behind her. She exerted a little force with the hand holding the sickle and stared sharply at the place where the vibration came from. Bronya opened her right hand and the rifle in the corner was sucked into her palm.

The next second, a young man appeared in front of the two of them. After seeing each other's appearance clearly, the hands holding the weapons suddenly loosened, and the vigilance in their eyes disappeared. Three pairs of eyes looked at me, I was afraid to look at him, and he looked at her.

The atmosphere was extremely weird.

"guide……"

"Brother Linzi, I miss you so much!!"

With a swish, Bronya's movement to move forward paused. She watched as Seele flashed and appeared above the young man's head in an instant, then dropped down from above, hugged the man's neck and called out in surprise.

She smiled, nodded at Chen Lin, and stood obediently by the side.

Then came Xi'er's puzzled voice: "Hey! Brother Lin, what are you wearing? A skirt? It doesn't look like a skirt!"

Fortunately, Chen Lin had good physical fitness, otherwise he would have been dragged to the ground by Xier...

However, what made Chen Lin most happy was that his leader's teleportation ability could be used, so he no longer had to worry about not being able to escape when encountering danger.

Looking at the two girls in front of him, they both looked much more mature after not seeing them for a while, especially Bronya. The immaturity on her face was slowly fading away, and she already had the temperament of a leader.

"This is the folk costume of my region, not a skirt." Chen Lin put Xi'er back on the ground and explained, "I am in Luofu Xianzhou, one of the Xianzhou Alliance, to deal with something you are all familiar with. It is now in the stage of national blockade. I wanted to ask about your situation after the Great Awakening, but I couldn't contact the outside world."

"Something familiar..." Bronya was stunned and asked, "Star core?"

"Yes, it's the star core. By the way, I negotiated a deal with Yaliluo-VI. After the star core crisis is over, Yaliluo-VI will establish a trade route with Luofu Xianzhou for bilateral trade."

Chen Lin was a little surprised that Bronya guessed the star core so quickly, but he was soon relieved.

The star core disaster in Beloberg lasted for a thousand years. For everyone who grew up in Beloberg, the disaster brought by the star core is the experience they are most familiar with.

Looking at Bronya's serious expression, Chen Lin wanted to tease her for no reason.

"You've become much prettier, Bronya."

Deng!

Bronya didn't know what she remembered, but her serious face could no longer be maintained. Her ears began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her eyes became wandering.

"No...no..."

This little change certainly did not escape Chen Lin's eyes. He knew that his beloved student was usually serious and solemn, and was actually more shy than anyone else.

That outward appearance was just the shell she had honed in the military.

Bronya coughed twice and asked the question that Seele also wanted to ask.

"Teacher, how did you get back?"

"Yes, Brother Lin, how did you get here? The patrolling fleet outside has not reported any foreign ships." Xier stared at him with pure eyes, even though they were contaminated by knowledge.

"Well, I just tried something that I had guessed before but never had the chance to try. Since it succeeded, it means that no matter where I go in the future, I can always come back here if I want to."

He didn't explain in detail the mysterious operation of the leader's teleportation. He probably couldn't explain it even if he wanted to.

The reason is simple, because Chen Lin himself does not understand the principle behind it.

Xier suddenly said, "Brother Lin, there is something I want to tell you. It's very important. Bronya and I have been discussing what to do before you come back. Now that you are here, it's a good time to ask."

"What's the matter?"

He also wanted to ask about everyone's situation after the Great Awakening, but seeing Xier's serious expression, Chen Lin decided to put the matter aside for now and listen to what went wrong.

"Teacher, this is it."

Bronya pointed to the hundreds of photos on the desk and explained, "Yesterday, the fleet discovered this strange building in our galaxy while patrolling and exploring. The experienced captain speculated that it might be a connection point for some kind of path terminal, which is now abandoned."

He picked up the photo on the table and looked at it silently. The photo was taken by an external camera on a certain ship. The thing in the photo had an energy transmitter that distorted space above and below it...

This thing is like... like the jade gate of the fairy boat, and it seems to be the entrance to a certain space.

Entrance……

Holy shit! L Star Gate!!

Chen Lin's face changed. He must be too familiar with this thing.

At the beginning of each game of Stellaris, a damaged L-Gate will appear at a random location in the starry sky, but damage does not mean it cannot be opened. As long as you use the technology 'L-Gate Cognition' to obtain the corresponding L-Gate Cognition Points, and collect a total of 7, you can initiate the project 'Open L-Gate'.

When he first came into contact with Stellaris, it was already the mid-to-late stage of the game's release. At that time, he was attracted by the various environmentally friendly player operations in the game, so he bought all the DLCs and got into it.

Naturally, he was very new to the game when he first started. He heard from netizens that the final BOSS of the game was a natural disaster that was bound to come in the end, so he killed himself more than a dozen times in the early stages of the game.

After finally becoming familiar with the process and various operations and being able to play for a while longer, Chen Lin discovered in less than sixty years that the neighboring country had been beaten up.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary act of national war, until those red enemy ship logos rushed into his star field and slaughtered the fleet completely, then Chen Lin realized the seriousness of the problem.

Is this what they call a natural disaster? How amazing!

In the end, Chen Lin was crushed to death by this dense and powerful fleet, but he remembered the names of these ships and posted a question online asking how to fight this natural disaster. The answer he received was

——The natural disaster is not that weak, it is just an event monster.

After explanations from netizens, Chen Lin realized that this thing called 'Gray Gu Storm' came from the L Star Gate and was one of the four events that would be triggered after the L Star Gate was opened.

Netizen: The case has been solved. There was a stupid country whose fleet was not strong enough to open the L-gate, which resulted in all countries in the galaxy except the Fallen Father being crushed by the Gray Gu Storm.

This is one of the situations in which Chen Lin was trapped by the gauze during his novice period.

After Chen Lin gradually learned how to play, Gray Gu Storm was too weak for him and he could kill it with just a few attacks. But it must be said that Gray Gu Storm is indeed a killer for new players, especially the coin-minting AI, which is always obsessed with opening the door to get this thing out.

"Just leave it alone, it won't have any impact." Chen Lin thought.

Fortunately, no one except him can open this thing now, so Chen Lin feels relieved.

Bronya asked in surprise: "Teacher, do you know this thing?"

"Well, some kind of star gate. If it's opened, there might be good stuff inside, but there's also the possibility that some not-so-good things will rush out of it and beat anyone they see."

Chapter 155: What have you discovered?

There are four types of events in the L-Star Gate. Chen Lin is not sure whether the real L-Star Gate will be the same as the one in the game. What if this thing has a few more possible events for some strange reason? He might really have a headache.

At least as far as he knew, the most dangerous thing in the L Star Gate was the first kind of gray goo storm. The second kind was the possible appearance of a country disguised as nanorobots, which was relatively normal. Generally speaking, a nanorobot country did not have much impact, and even if it did appear, it would be more than enough to deal with it when something happened.

The third option is the L-Star Dragon, which is a mascot in the game, similar to Bubble. The fourth option is the grand prize, where you can get a nanorobot that can freely switch between the forms of leader, battleship, and army.

Overall, Gray Wind plays the greatest role. Chen Lin used it many times when he was a novice. It has good combat power and will be resurrected after a period of time even if it dies.

Especially when serving as a leader, the bonuses it brings are very good, and when it becomes a ground unit, it can be called a terrifying army.

Because of its ability to change, it is often nicknamed "Changeable Little Gray" by players.

To be honest, Chen Lin really wanted to open the L-Star Gate to see what was inside, but at this stage he did not have the ability to easily deal with emergencies after opening the L-Star Gate.

If a gray goo storm were to come out, Yalilo-VI would be doomed.

Now the battleships in his hands only have a combat power of more than 30k. The key is that these combat powers are concentrated on a small number of battleship weapons. The loss of one ship will greatly weaken the combat power.

Impossible to beat.

"There are bad guys?" Xi'er suddenly became interested after hearing this, and rubbed her hands: "Can we kill those guys?"

Chen Lin glanced at her unhappily and said, "I think even if we add ten times as many ships, there's still a chance that we'll be killed."

As the national will, Chen Lin received information on the movements of all ships the moment he returned to Yalilo-VI, and naturally understood what Xier had led the fleet to do.

While he was somewhat confident in Xier's talent in combat, he was also a little worried that this girl had started too high and was blinded by the weak fleet in front of her. It would be no use for her to deal with some interstellar pirates. After all, those pirates would most likely not be able to defeat their own space station, let alone the warships with greatly increased weapon and equipment slots.

But on second thought, Xier's personality is just like that. Her fearlessness towards everything is not necessarily a bad thing. It is difficult for him to recognize the problem just by words, let alone Xier?
