Gao Wu: Landing 3,000 Years Into the Future

On the Qingfeng, Shen Qing watched this operation with some amusement, and was amused by Song Chi's caution.

Of course, he just couldn't help laughing. He had no objection to the cautious attitude itself, and even praised Song Chi's behavior in his heart.

There are countless Xinhuo captains who die in the exploration of alien domains every year. There is only one life, so no matter how cautious you are, it is not excessive.

Hearing the laughter coming from the projection screen, Song Chi replied while controlling the drone to return.

"I have a classmate who has always regarded the word "low-key" as his life motto. Guess what my life motto is?"

"Cautious?"

Shen Qing thought carefully for a while, and finally said these two words tentatively. Originally thought that Song Chi would firmly deny him, who knew that Song Chi actually nodded seriously and added a sentence.

"You can also call it "steady."

Shen Qing covered his forehead, feeling speechless. What the hell, steady? The precocious man in his memory was not like this.

Song Chi didn't care about Shen Qing's reaction. He just said it casually, without any exaggeration.

On the day when Psionic Energy activated the Xinghai Market Order and successfully became the master of the market, the word steady was indeed engraved on the first page of his life dictionary, but he couldn't do anything if others didn't believe him.

After retrieving the Bumblebee-class drone and confirming that there was no danger in the space curtain, the two controlled the airship to pass through the space curtain one after another.

This time, Song Chi's Cangqiong walked behind, and Qingfeng led the way in front. The enclosed space they were in was exactly the first floor of the ruins mentioned by Shen Qing before.

According to him, he accidentally discovered the space curtain on the side of the boulder. After entering it, he found a crystal box that sealed a blue and white artifact in this enclosed space.

In the end, Shen Qing spent a lot of effort and spent nearly 20 hours to blast open the crystal box with the main gun on the Qingfeng, and then obtained those artifacts.

However, after the crystal box was blasted, it was completely weathered and dissipated along with the fragments, and it can't be seen now.

This enclosed space is not small, the length and width are terrifyingly thousands of meters, and even the height is close to a kilometer, but it is not enough in front of the two Xinhuo flying ships. In just less than two minutes, Song Chi successfully saw the entrance to the second-floor ruins mentioned by Shen Qing.

That was a space curtain standing right above this enclosed space. Unlike the space curtain outside, this space curtain seemed to be reinforced and could not support passage. The surface of the space curtain was filled with a strong repulsive force, preventing all objects from approaching.

Seeing this scene, Song Chi finally understood why Shen Qing said that there was a second layer of the relic space. There was obviously another layer of space above this space curtain.

"The repulsive force on this thing is extremely strong. Last time, I used the main and secondary guns of the Qingfeng to bombard it for more than two hours.It just didn't break."

"Let's try it together this time. If it still doesn't work, then we're doomed to miss out on the things above this ruins!! ”

Shen Qing stared at the square space curtain in the sky, which was more than 100 meters long and wide, clenched his fists, and his tone was a little nervous.

The moment he and Song Chi were teleported to the sky above this floating land, the interstellar beacon he left had dissipated. This was their last chance to explore this relic. If they failed, they would no longer be able to be deployed to this star field after returning.

Knowing that time was running out, the two of them did not waste time. The main and secondary guns on the two airships opened fire at full power and fired wildly at the space curtain in the sky.

Boom!

The beams and psionic bombs collided with the repulsion field one after another, and then there was a continuous roar of explosions.

Fortunately, this space is a completely enclosed area, otherwise Song Chi was really afraid that this movement would attract the terrifying enlarged earthworm creature. .

In this closed and dark space, the concept of time is very vague. If there were no special timing device on the airship, Song Chi and the others would probably have no idea how long they had been attacking repeatedly.

In the fourth hour of continuous fire coverage, the repulsive position on the space curtain finally changed, and the light flashing on it was obviously much dimmer. Catching this, the two people who were originally numb regained their spirits in their eyes.

In the eighth hour of continuous fire bombardment, the repulsive position on the space curtain had dimmed to the extreme, and it seemed that it would be completely broken at any time.

However, until the twelfth hour of fire bombardment, this repulsive position was still firmly maintained, without any sign of breaking.

In the thirteenth hour, when Song Chi and the others were completely mechanically clicking the fire button.

"Buzz! "

Suddenly, a crisp tremor was transmitted into the two airships. They looked up eagerly, and the next second, strong surprise appeared on their faces.

I saw that the layer of repulsive field surrounding the space curtain in the sky had completely dimmed at some point. The attacks triggered by the two airships were no longer blocked by the repulsive field. After leaving ripples on the space curtain, they sank directly into the unknown space above the space curtain.

Overjoyed, Shen Qing subconsciously urged the Qingfeng to move towards the space curtain, but was stopped by Song Chi.

Originally, It was just a subconscious behavior of excessive excitement. After being blocked and reminded by Song Chi, Shen Qing also reacted quickly. Then, together with Song Chi, he opened the hatch of the airship and released a drone.

During the exploration of alien star fields, more than 99% of Xinhuo captains will bring one or two combat robots and detection drones.

Even if there is no network, these two can only be controlled and moved within the magnetic field of the Xinhuo flying ship itself, but they are still the standard equipment for most Xinhuo flying ship captains to explore alien star fields.

After all, even if XinhuoThe magnetic wave range of the Firefly itself is extremely limited, but in many cases, the combat robots and drones can play a significant role.

For example, the current situation.

The two drones disappeared into the space curtain one after the other. It was less than a second before and after, but the expressions of Song Chi and Shen Qing below were completely different.

After the drone controlled by Shen Qing sank into the space curtain, the image on the screen in his hand suddenly turned black, and the connection with the Bumblebee-class drone was completely lost.

Song Chi was different. After more than ten hours of buffering, the brain wave remote control system had already completed the buffering, and he also put the brain wave beacon on this drone again, so even with the obstruction of the space curtain, he still did not lose the perspective of the Bumblebee-class drone.

In the Qingfeng cockpit, Shen Qing turned his eyes to the communication screen on one side, but before he asked about the drone, he saw the fear on Song Chi's face in the communication screen, which was an expression that would only appear after witnessing something terrible.

According to his understanding of Song Chi since childhood, the reason why Song Chi lost his composure was definitely because there was something incredible in the space above the space curtain.

Almost subconsciously, he moved his hands quickly, controlling the Qingfeng to deflect the boat and retreat quickly.

On the side, the reaction of the Cangqiong was a little faster than his. At the same time, Song Chi's roar sounded on the communication screen:

"Quickly retreat!"

...

Speaking of Song Chi, after the Bumblebee-class drone passed through the space curtain and arrived at another space above, he also saw a space with a length and width of several thousand meters from the drone's perspective.

Unlike the first layer, there is a cube-shaped crystal box with a width of about ten meters in the middle of the second layer. This crystal box emits dazzling white light, completely illuminating the entire second layer of space.

It is precisely because of this that under the illumination of this white light, Song Chi saw a scene that will be unforgettable in his life.

Things like tumors, about a meter high, covered the entire second layer of space. There were tens of thousands of them. These tumors were not only sticky, but also faintly pulsating, as if they all had life.

In the deepest part of the second layer of space, Song Chi also saw a giant tumor that was tens of meters high. The pulsation of this tumor was more obvious. Song Chi could even vaguely see the huge and bloated monster inside through the tumor wall. There was no doubt that the creatures sleeping in these tumors were all unknown creatures.

This was not the most terrifying thing. Just when Song Chi was about to control the drone to return quietly, not wanting to disturb these terrifying tumors, he found that it was too late.

The previous rounds of artillery fire from the Sky and the Blue Blade that penetrated the space curtain had already completely blasted several tumors. At this moment, these tumors were shaking violently, and the dormant monsters inside had been awakened. As these tumors continued to shake, the entire second layer of spaceAll the tumors in the sarcoma were awakened one after another.

Crack!

When the first few tumors hit were completely torn apart, the creatures wrapped in them completely emerged in the drone's view.

"Damn, it's the Zerg. There are tens of thousands of Zerg sleeping on the second floor, and there is also a queen."

When the Sky and the Blue Blade were pushed hundreds of miles away, Song Chi shouted directly without Shen Qing asking.

When Shen Qing heard the word "Zerg", his reaction was almost exactly the same as Song Chi's. After a flash of deep fear in his eyes, his face became gloomy.

Zerg, this is a star sea race as famous as the Void Demon. The notorious degree of the Zerg Plague and the Void Plague can be ranked in the top five in the entire Broken Star Sea.

At this moment, Song Chi finally understood it completely. He had been wondering about one thing before, what kind of power could destroy a piece of floating land in the star sea so thoroughly, almost to the extent that no grass could grow.

Until now, the appearance of these Zergs almost perfectly fits this answer.

Unlike the bloodthirstiness and killing of the Void Demons, the characteristic of the Zergs is to devour, devour everything with energy. No matter which star field this creature appears in, the final result must be that all the resources of this star field are devoured, and it is completely turned into a completely barren star field.

Although other star sea civilizations also plunder resources, they plunder the resources themselves, not the environment where the resources are born. But these Zergs are different. Wherever they go, they completely devour everything, completely destroying a star field, leaving it with no value.

In panic, both of them were a little at a loss.

Although they all came from Jiangyuan's No. 1 Xinhuo Academy, received orthodox Xinhuo education, and knew a lot about the notorious creatures such as the Zerg, all of this was just hearsay, what they heard and saw from books.

When they really faced it in person, it was completely two completely different situations.

In the end, Song Chi, who had lived two lives, came back first. While he was thinking about all kinds of information about the Zerg, he quickly called Shen Qing through the communication screen.

"Daqing, what do you say, fight or run?"

After he yelled like this, Shen Qing also regained his mind and thought for a moment and replied.

"Can you roughly determine the number of the Zerg?"

"The conservative estimate is more than 30,000, and we don't know if the queen can continue to lay eggs."

Song Chi responded quickly. It was obvious that he had basically understood the information about the Zerg above through the perspective of the drone. However, he had not finished speaking, and he quickly added:

"Of course, it doesn't matter whether they lay eggs or not. There is no excess energy supply in the space above, otherwise these Zerg would not choose to hibernate collectively. Without energy supply, even if the eggs hatch, the larvae cannot grow quickly and pose no threat to us."

At this time, Shen Qing added:

"In other words, we need to deal withAre they more than 30,000 weak Zergs that have just woken up from hibernation and have not replenished their energy for a long time? "

At this point, Shen Qing's meaning was actually quite clear, and a hint of eagerness appeared on his face.

Song Chi didn't say much about this. He didn't really want to do it. Although the Zergs above were indeed very weak, the number was there after all, and he didn't want to take the risk of fighting with them.

However, since Shen Qing had expressed this intention, he couldn't refuse directly. After all, he could set an anchor point and come back to this ruins through the Zhutian Market later. He only needed to wait until he was strong enough to come and clean up these Zergs. By then, all the gains in this ruins would be He is alone.

But if he really did that, it would be a despicable act, and he naturally didn't want to do such a thing.

If the person traveling with him was not Shen Qing but a pure passerby, or if Shen Qing didn't bring him here this time, but he brought Shen Qing here to explore together after discovering this relic, then he would never hesitate at this moment and directly choose to run away, waiting for the subsequent strength to be sufficient for a second exploration, but the key is none of them.

For Shen Qing, who fully believes in him and has played with him since childhood, he can't do such a thing, nor is he willing to do it. This has nothing to do with being hypocritical or not, but a matter of principles and bottom line for a normal person.
