Knocking wonders from the space station

On the day the Xinhuo completed its upgrade, Lu Feng used its submarine characteristics to successfully infiltrate into the secret planet of the Tianci Star camp.

The size of this gas giant planet is comparable to Skyrim 4, and the severe thunderstorms inside are even worse. The secret forces of the two dukes used imperial technology to stabilize a safe channel in the violent and dense atmosphere. There are sentries in the channel.

There are entire empire-level formations patrolling back and forth.

This is a secret fleet that has never appeared in the sun, and it is also the fourth empire-level formation of the Tianci Star side.

Through detailed scanning on March 7, this empire-level formation has been modified by Weigel technology. Not only has its combat effectiveness been significantly improved, it is also equipped with very advanced gravitational wave detectors.

If the Xinhuo came rashly before it was upgraded, the old Mirage system would not be able to guarantee that it would not be detected even if it was almost face to face.

Once discovered by the stationed Tianci Star Fleet, with such a narrow channel and the planet's powerful gravity well... the Xinhuo had almost no possibility of escaping.

As expected, it was a very correct decision not to rashly underestimate the background of the Imperial Dukes.

After successfully infiltrating, the Xinhuo quietly arrived at an eggshell-shaped safe space deep in the atmosphere. This space was very large, with a diameter of more than a hundred kilometers, but it was not naturally formed, but was forcibly created by humans using technological equipment.

of.

The rolling thunderclouds, blue barriers and suspended force field equipment at the edge of the space are all clearly visible.

A long time ago, the empire officially conducted detailed explorations of all the planets within its territory. If there was any secret space here, it would have been marked in the files, which would be very conspicuous.

Therefore, the Dukes would rather spend huge manpower and material resources to forcibly transform the environment here, but also ensure the confidentiality of this place. Seeing that this is the root of the opponent's subversion of the empire.

Bypassing the floating facilities and ships that covered the periphery of the space, a huge ring-shaped building appeared in front of everyone. For the people of Shentang, the shape was very familiar.

A stargate.

A star gate that is no different from the ancestral star gate in the creation space!

There are a large number of factories, ports and logistics bases floating next to the Star Gate, which is obviously the real home base of the Tiansend Star forces.

Lu Feng had previously guessed that the opponent's trump card was a super battleship, or a secret weapon, but he didn't expect it to be the ancestral star gate. If it was a star gate...

Lu Feng instantly understood the opponent's tactics.

First, they colluded with the 026 Logistics Base to create chaos in the Imperial Border Legion and reduce its combat effectiveness; then they recruited the Vigor people to attack the Imperial defense line from the front, forcing them to fight hastily; and finally, through the secret star gate hidden in the Empire, the Vigor people were

The Er raid fleet secretly teleported to the rear of the border, bypassed the space blocker, and carried out front and rear pincer attacks on the Imperial Army in the fierce border battle.

In this way, as long as the Weigel people come with the main fleet, even if the imperial garrison is large in size, they will be defeated by successive raids.

By then, the entire Third Frontier will be in chaos, without the defense of the Imperial Army, and the entire sector will fall into enemy hands.

But the problem is that letting the Vegor people in is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. How can the two dukes be sure that the Vegor people will hand over the sector to them after victory?

Is there still a back-up plan that I don’t know about?

Or is it that the two dukes and the Weigel people are originally in the same group?

Yes, if the two dukes had already taken refuge with Archduke Mordiggian and became secret lords under his command, then everything would make sense.

The intelligence previously obtained on Tatooine showed that the fleet under Archduke Weigel was gathering, and there must be an important military operation.

At first, I thought that the other party's mobilization was to launch a large-scale exploration into the depths of the Jedi, but now it seems that the fleet led by Wallaway is just the tip of the iceberg of strategic deployment, and the bulk of the planning is still on the empire's side.

Once this plan succeeds, the Weigel people can seize one-third of the empire's territory except the capital area at the minimum cost, and completely break away from the harsh environment in which their ancestors have lived for generations.

The center of the empire was undergoing a change of power and was unable to organize a critical battle, so it could only allow the Weigel people to occupy and consolidate the territory.

It has to be said that the Weigel people chose their timing perfectly.

But are these really the only motivations?

Lu Feng couldn't help but think of the intelligence sent back from Weigel's control area a while ago.

The Iron Crows were originally going to search for the Weigel raiding fleet, but before the fleet could be found, they discovered signs of Zerg activity first.

Different from the Zerg Zerg that opened the wormhole, what was discovered this time was Shen Tang's old friend, the Vajra Zerg that once ravaged the space cemetery.

The location where Vajula appeared was deep in the Iron-Blooded Jedi!

"I see, are we going to break away from the Zerg..."

Lu Feng felt that he had found the truth of the matter.

In the home of Archduke Mordiggian, the Vajra swarm deep in the Iron-Blooded Jedi is about to revive and begin to spread towards the area controlled by Weigel.

For some unknown reason, Mordiggian was not prepared to fight to the death with the swarm, so he wanted to transfer territory and turned his attention to the Empire.

As long as he can seize a piece of territory from the empire and stay far away from the expansion route of the insect swarm, then his power will be safe.

Because the Iron-Blooded Jedi are next to the first border of the empire and the farthest away from the third border, the empire will be the first to bear the brunt and must use all its strength to fight against the insect swarm. Once the capital is empty, maybe the Vigor people will be able to march straight in and occupy the heart of the empire.

Ambitious, ruthless, damned executioner.

This is Lu Feng’s evaluation of Mordiggian.

For all this, he sat back and watched the insect swarm revive, acquiesced in the insect swarm's expansion, and single-handedly caused the destruction of all life in the star field along the way, seriously weakening the resistance of the human race, and may even cause the entire situation to collapse.

At this moment, Lu Feng even had the urge to hand over all the information to the empire, but he quickly calmed down.

The Empire is not a good bird either. If the Empire knew that the Zerg were about to resurrect, they would definitely close the country tightly and prevent the Weigel people from escaping.

It is an inevitable decision made by the empire's high-level officials to sit back and watch the Weigel people and the insects fight to the death. It is best for both sides to perish together.

As informants, the Skylanders will not have any substantial benefits. On the contrary, they will be coveted and feared by the empire, and even besieged and suppressed.

In this way, let the empire and the Weigel people fight here to see who is more powerful.

And we can't just let them fight on both sides, but also drag the insects into it to form a melee, temporarily curbing the spread of the insect swarm.

Lu Feng made up his mind and decided to further infiltrate the secret base in front of him.

The 520-meter-long Xinhuo was not small and could easily be hit by some unsightly aircraft in the crowded base space. Therefore, after setting down Lu Feng, Lin Yuexi and the ghosts, they entered a state of stealth in the void and waited.

In the past, Lin Yuexi would have waited on the boat to serve as Lu Feng's jump anchor point to facilitate the response.

But now the Xinhuo has a sufficient supply of psionic energy, and the Prothean's psychic jumping technology has been put into use, which can jump the ground action team onto the ship without anyone noticing.

The security inside the floating base is much looser than on the outside. It should be tight on the outside and loose on the inside.

This is normal. If there is a turmoil inside, it will greatly affect the engineering and production efficiency, which is very fatal for Tiancixing who lacks time.

Therefore, Lu Feng and Lin Yuexi split into two groups, each leading 10 ghost agents to successfully infiltrate the base.

Lu Feng's goal was the star gate, while Lin Yuexi's goal was to find the location of the dwarves, see the clan leader's situation, and find out what the terrible weapon the clan leader mentioned was.

Both sides had remote information support from March 7th. The access control and surveillance encountered along the way were successfully cracked, and they penetrated into the core area with overwhelming force.

On Lu Feng's side, he knew his ancestor's star gate very well, and he discovered problems as soon as he entered the star gate.

This star gate is not a relic of the ancestors, but a copy of the other party. Many places are rough and full of traces of assembly and rush work. No wonder it was transported here secretly. It may not be in operation for long before it will be scrapped.

However, the function is not much different from the Ancestral Star Gate. Not only can it be connected to the star gate in the empire, it can also cross the star field and directly connect to another ancestor star gate in Weigel.

Moreover, its diameter is much larger than the original one in the Creation Space, and its delivery capability is much stronger, if it is not damaged in the process.

This would make it much more convenient for Lu Feng.

The control programs and facilities of the Ancestral Stargate are not easy to usurp, but if they are imitations of the Vigor people, especially if they are temporary structures, the firewall will be easier to crack.

According to March 7th's command, Lu Feng secretly arranged back-ups at key locations in the Star Gate. One set could ensure its paralysis, while the other set could forcibly take over control of the Star Gate if necessary.

On the other side, Lin Yuexi finally found the dwarves in the industrial base.

As a race with excellent engineering talents, it goes without saying that they are responsible for the manufacture of key equipment, and Lin Yuexi also saw the behemoth inside the enclosed dock.

A nearly completed super-dreadnought!

It seemed that this was the secret weapon of the Dukes. The length of this ship was more than 8,000 meters. It was the first time for Lin Yuexi to see such a huge warship. She couldn't help but look at it carefully, thinking about how to bring this big guy back. Well, Lu Feng will definitely praise himself when the time comes.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this ship has a strong Kuat Power Dockyard style, and there are traces of renovation. It is likely that it was renovated and upgraded from an old ship. Although it is an 8,000-meter-class giant ship, it is very big. The black and thick road may have the same combat power as the 5000-meter-class dreadnought of Goblin Heavy Industry.

After she quietly stole the construction information of this ship, her evaluation of it became even lower.

One is that Tianci Star's shipbuilding capabilities are not as good as those of the official Empire, and coupled with insufficient resources and tight construction schedules, this ship is quite cut corners and has a huge body but is full of straw.

More importantly, this thing requires a full 30,000 people to maintain operation, and its maneuverability is extremely poor. Shen Tang Shen Tang can't even drive it for free. At most, it can be pulled back and used as a space station.

It’s really tasteless!

Lin Yuexi curled her lips helplessly.

Sure enough, a dreadnought is not that easy to snatch, even with March 7th.

So let's continue looking for the clan leader. As long as we find the clan leader, we can know the details of this base and the specific plans of the Duke's side.

The clan leader was not difficult to find. Lin Yuexi was invisible and telepathic, and cooperated with March 7 to lead the way. She quickly found the clan leader who was in extremely poor condition and led him to an unmanned rest room.

Under the surprised gaze of the other party, the collaborator who had never met before finally appeared.

"Phew, after such a long time, I thought you were dead... Time is running out, let's get straight to the point!"

The dwarf leader's physical condition is very bad. He has not yet recovered from his injuries from being tortured by the mercenary leader. In addition, he has been busy with the finishing work of the dreadnought during this period, so that his face is haggard and he seems to be about to collapse at any time.

Lin Yuexi persuaded him to sit down considerately, then put on a conversational posture and spoke seriously.

"You can call me...Lin, I am here on behalf of Tianji Star. We are a force independent of the empire and Weigel.

Although I can't compete with them head-on, my methods are enough to participate in this incident. My ability to appear quietly in front of you is the best proof.

My power needs an independent living space, so it is impossible to take refuge in either of the two. I think we are a natural partner."

Lin Yuexi didn't put any more tests. She was sure that the other party was at the end of its rope, so she bluntly extended the invitation to cooperate.

Chief Asby's eyes brightened a little, and the power in front of him was better than he imagined.

He originally guessed that Lin Yuexi should be the representative of a certain power group in the empire. Although he was at odds with Tianci Xing, there was not much difference to the dwarves.

Just escaped from the tiger's mouth and rejoined the pack of wolves.

But I didn't expect Lin Yuexi to be an independent force and even have a planet!

This is obviously not a force within the empire, it must be a certain remnant hidden in the Jedi!

Just like the dwarves...

Thinking of this, the dwarf patriarch looked at Lin Yuexi with less vigilance and more kindness in his eyes.

“That’s the best thing.

Let me talk directly about the basis of cooperation. You have to rescue our dwarves from here, leave this hell, and stay away from the clutches of the Empire, so that our people can obtain formal citizenship rights on your planet, not slaves!

Then, with my help, you will completely destroy the ship outside, including the evil equipment on the ship. To this end, I will do everything in my power to cooperate with you."

Lin Yuexi listened calmly and asked:

"How many clansmen do you have?"

"200,000!"

200,000 psychic dwarves, alive!

Lin Yuexi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened. That was a psychic dwarf. If he had to take them all home, Lu Feng would go crazy with joy.

Seeing that Lin Yuexi suddenly stopped talking, the dwarf in front of him immediately added eagerly:

"100,000! Forget it, the population of 50,000 cannot be any less!

Our clan is full of powerful engineering talents, and the broken ship outside can fly into the sky again only because of our control, otherwise those imperial idiots wouldn’t even be able to get out of the dock!”

He obviously misunderstood Lin Yuexi. It was obviously difficult to rescue 200,000 people from the enemy's lair. As long as the race could be preserved, 50,000 people could barely accept it.

It's just that he didn't know that Lin Yuexi was busy planning how to claim credit from Lu Feng.

Can’t take it with you?

Lu Feng has a space gate. How many people can't take it away? Moreover, Lu Feng told Lin Yuexi a secret before coming here.

The reason why the psychic dwarves have lost all their psychic powers is because their clan relies heavily on void crystals. Without void crystals, they are just an engineering race with some talent.

Once successfully combined with the void crystal, it will evolve into a psychic dwarf of cosmic civilization, with the ability to turn decay into magic.

Over the past hundreds of years, the void crystals in the Sanctuary Star Cluster have been exhausted, and the remaining parts have become top-level controlled resources, which cannot be used by the dwarves.

As for the technology of the dwarves, the Asylum Star Cluster has been at peace for a long time. It is enough to be powerful just by resting on its laurels. There is no need for money-burning psychic dwarves to develop and build new weapons.

As a result, the dwarf clan, which was once prosperous for a while, fell into such a situation and could only survive on the God-given star.

In the eyes of the Imperial people, they are aliens. If they were not valuable, Tianci Star would not be able to accommodate them.

Chief Asby never thought that the Void Crystals, which are almost extinct in the Sanctuary Star Cluster, are everywhere in Tianji Star. Not to mention Shen Tang, no other force has more than 1,800, and Shen Tang holds more than 100,000.

, half of which are larger than the thumb cap.

For the dwarves to awaken, they only need a void crystal the size of a small fingernail.

That’s why Shen Tang really found a treasure this time. When Lu Feng heard the news about the dwarf from Lin Yuexi, he immediately picked up the girl and spun around in circles for several times. Lin Yuexi still blushed when she thought about it.

.

There were a lot of people present at that time...

"Ahem, I agree with your conditions in principle. As for how many people can be taken away, it still requires detailed planning and some luck. The most important thing is whether you can gather all your tribesmen before taking action. This will be critical to the final decision.

The number of rescues is critical."

Lin Yuexi didn't agree to die. After all, saving people is different from killing people. A little negligence may cause all the efforts to be wasted.

"Gather together..."

Chief Asby was a little surprised. Generally speaking, more people are more likely to be exposed. He originally thought that the other party would let him be broken into pieces to facilitate the dispersion and transfer, but who would have thought that they would let everyone gather together.

Is it possible for the other party to leave with so many people in such a arrogant manner?

Asby felt that he was a little whimsical.

But he still nodded.

"Yes, there will be such an opportunity in a few days. This battleship is about to hold a launching ceremony. All of us will participate. The location is in the square at the bottom of the dock. If you have time requirements, I can make some malfunctions.

To delay time."

Lin Yuexi's eyes lit up, "Very good, that's it! If everything goes well, we will rescue far more dwarves than you imagine!"

"I hope so."

Espy sighed. He actually didn't have much choice. Since Lin Yuexi broke his promise, he didn't have the ability to punish him.

"So, can you explain the information you know now?"

Asby lit a cigarette with his rough palm and spoke slowly:

"This dreadnought was built by my family for two dukes. It was their flagship to rebel against the empire. But as you can see, the condition of this ship is not good and it is completely unable to compete with the imperial dreadnoughts of the same level...

The catastrophe I'm talking about comes from a piece of equipment."

"What device?"

Lin Yuexi's expression turned serious, and she frowned slightly.

Things are not as simple as they appear.

"Psychic beacon, the name of that device."

Espy looked a little panicked and explained through gritted teeth:

"It is a high-power psychic transmitter facing the universe, capable of emitting special psychic energy bands to attract or drive away zerg swarms.

The Dukes once sent people deep into the Fallen Star Jedi in an attempt to find a mysterious colonial star, but they found signs of large-scale Zerg activities.

Therefore, this relic provided by the Weigel people was sent over and handed over to our tribe for repair and debugging, and for experiments on secretly caught bugs.

The effect is so terrifying that it can even disguise the insect queen to summon a swarm of insects!"

Ah this...

Lin Yuexi's eyes widened in surprise, there was such a thing!

If someone masters this thing, wouldn't it be possible to lead the insect swarms to the enemy's lair at will? If it is carried on the Xinhuo, which comes and goes without a trace...

This kind of thing must not be in the hands of outsiders!

"This thing must be destroyed!"

As soon as Chief Asby saw Lin Yuexi's reaction, he knew that the mysterious force in front of him also wanted this device, but his conscience told him that this thing must be destroyed, so he glared at Lin Yuexi stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, we're going to destroy it, and I'm sure you'll have backup in place to make sure the device is destroyed, right?"

Hearing what Lin Yuexi said, Chief Asby's expression finally softened.

"Um."

He nodded dullly and didn't say anything about the back-up plan. He put on a psychic shield before coming to avoid being read by Lin Yuexi.

"I will give you a copy of the detailed information later. Do you have any questions?"

"There is indeed one! Based on your understanding, what do you think is the relationship between the two dukes? Why can they rebel together and share a fleet and a flagship? Do they trust each other so much?"

This is Lin Yuexi's and Lu Feng's long-standing question.

These two dukes are so weird. She has seen them plotting together for such a big thing as rebellion, but she has never seen them sharing the same army. Who will have the command when the time comes? How will the benefits be distributed after the war?

The core of the problem is that the status of the two dukes is equal, and there is no primary or secondary relationship, which makes the relationship a bit strange.

Lin Yuexi looked at Asby expectantly, and the dwarf pondered for a moment before speaking astonishingly.

"I think the two of them are in the same group."

A group of people?

Were they originally a team?

Lin Yuexi was stunned at first, but soon understood what the other party meant.

"You mean... they both belong to the same force? So there is no conflict of interest?"

Asby nodded worriedly.

"I am 80% sure that there is a person or force controlling them behind them. This rebellion seems to be initiated by them, but in fact they are just pawns of others."

Lin Yuexi suddenly realized that in this way, she could roughly determine the ins and outs of this incident.

Combining Wei Geer's information, the mastermind behind the scenes should be Archduke Mordiggian who has not escaped. I didn't expect that this man was so well-hidden that he could secretly control two imperial dukes and infiltrate such a huge force.

Later, Lin Yuexi obtained more confidential information from the clan leader and discussed the follow-up plan and action time.

Before leaving, Chief Asbi gave Lin Yuexi a deep look.

"I hope your plan will succeed. I will arrange everything in advance. But I want to emphasize that once the plan is set, it cannot be changed, because I only have one chance..."

Lin Yuexi tilted her head in confusion, then suddenly realized, she took out a void crystal the size of a pigeon egg and handed it over, smiling and saying.

"Chief, I give this to you as a token of our cooperation. It can buy you enough time."

Asby looked at the huge crystal in Lin Yuexi's hand, and his eyes almost popped out.

The reason why he said that just now was because he had to go through mind-reading interrogations every day, and he couldn't hide any secrets in his heart.

He originally wanted to hand over every step of the plan to his own people in the form of regular orders, and then commit suicide to ensure the safety of the plan.

Who would have thought that Lin Yuexi was so smart that she immediately saw through his plan and took out a void crystal that could be called a treasure.

If he can absorb this crystal, then he can at least awaken to the level of a level 4 psyker. Not only will he be immune to daily interrogations, but he can also steal the intelligence in the monitor's heart, and the situation will be reversed.

"Such a big void crystal! Where did you get it? No... do you really want to give it to me?"

"Yeah, take this, you have to personally ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, do you understand?"

Espy hesitated for a moment, then took the crystal and swallowed it directly in front of Lin Yuexi. The next moment, the old dwarf seemed to have undergone a radical change. His spirit and energy were completely different. Although his body was still weak,

But there was a flash of purple light in his eyes.

Lin Yuexi witnessed the other party's awakening process in amazement. Although she didn't know what kind of abilities the psychic dwarf had, judging from the confident look on the other party's face, she must be able to cope with the situation in the next few days.

Chief Asbi ignored the changes in his body and bowed gratefully to Lin Yuexi.

"Friend, thank you for giving me and giving my clan a chance to live. Thank you."

"Yes, that's good."

Lin Yuexi smiled and waved her hands, but the dwarf in front of her suddenly frowned.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something and felt the need to tell you.

During the renovation of the dreadnought, some of my people would often disappear inexplicably. The supervisors said that they were all dead, some from accidents and some from overwork.

I didn’t have the time to think too much about it before, but now that I think about it, there’s something fishy about it…”

Lin Yuexi raised her eyebrows and immediately asked:

"How many people are there in total?"

"A lot, about 100,000 people! Now that I think about it, they account for a full third of my clan!"

So many people are missing?

Lin Yuexi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head: "By the way, which Duke is in charge of you?"

"It's the Duke of Crystal Orchid."

"Oh, so it's him...Okay, I understand. I'll just come here today and say goodbye."

After that, Lin Yuexi and Asby nodded and left invisibly.

After getting the key information, Lin Yuexi immediately sneaked into the dreadnought and confirmed the location of the psychic beacon. For the sake of Shen Tang, she would not really give up this device, and the same must be true for Lu Feng.

When she arrived at the heavily guarded core cabin, she found that there was a psyker guard guarding it, so she did not approach rashly and left to join Lu Feng.

After listening to Lin Yuexi's information, Lu Feng was very excited. He had a clearer picture of this plan in his mind, and then he took people on board the ship and left the secret base.

There are still several days before the wormhole is formed, so now is not the best time to act.

In order to bring three parties into the game, the timing must be just right.

At that time, Lu Feng must choose the time to detonate the situation on the Tianci Star, so that the Weigel people have to act in advance and follow the script he designed.

Everything will be revealed in a few days.

…
