National Star Sea Era

Suddenly, there were violent spatial fluctuations in the dark starry sky, and then a 1,300-meter-long warship appeared out of thin air. It was the Sky that started a new alien domain deployment.

As early as yesterday when Ansevi's birthday party ended, the alien domain deployment function of the Sky had been buffered, so after recovering his spirit, Song Chi immediately started exploring the alien domain.

Strictly speaking, he had not explored the alien domain for a long time. He was either in a hurry to develop the three-eyed royal family flagship or comprehending the laws in the Dragon Ridge Secret Realm.

Now that the things at hand have been basically dealt with, and the assimilation of the laws is not something that can be completed in a short time, Song Chi has time to start exploring.

"I just hope that this is the first serious exploration in more than ten years, and I can have better luck..."

Muttering, Song Chi retracted his sight from the dark battleship projection display in front of him and turned to look at the radar map on the side.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the result did not seem to disappoint him. The radar map of [Peeping Eyes] showed that there was a large floating land in the star sea not far from the Sky.

"It is more than four million kilometers long and wide, and it is actually a level 3 floating land in the star sea?"

Song Chi was a little surprised, not because the level of this floating land was too high, but on the contrary, he felt that it was too low.

Although the current hull level of the Sky is only lv32, it is indeed a normal level 3, but with the blessing of many gold, silver, red and other parts, the real combat power has long reached the level of easily suppressing ordinary level 4 life.

Therefore, even if the strength of the alien domain has always been the main factor in determining the hull level, the current Sky will never be judged as a level 3 unit, and it is most likely to be a level 4.

Since it is a level 4, it is normal for the corresponding alien domain exploration to be deployed around the level 4 floating land, so this level 3 floating land makes Song Chi confused.

With a cautious mind, he first summoned four Void Shadow Killer Clan warriors, attached brainwave imprints, and directly sent them out with the [Fixed-point Delivery Platform].

The Sky is now extremely powerful, but Song Chi did not relax his vigilance.

You must know that in the exploration of unknown alien star domains, even the existence of the level of Star Destroyer has the risk of being lost, and it is impossible to relax.

While controlling the warship to slowly move towards the unknown level 3 floating land, Song Chi's eyes soon showed a strong surprise.

In another perspective in his mind, he saw the full picture of the level 3 floating land.

It is neither a life-type floating land nor a resource-type floating land, but a barren floating land with almost no value.

As far as the eye can see, the vast floating land is paved with gravel and filled with yellow sand. From time to time, the sand sea storm with an astonishing diameter swept through it crazily, and there was no trace of life.

The only thing that caught Song Chi's attention was the several small space fortresses suspended outside the floating land.

Judging from the few intelligent creatures that still remain on these space fortresses, the floating land below has become like this, most likely related to this creature, at least they also know the reason.

Thinking of this, Song Chi carefully checked it with the perspective of the Void Shadow Killer Clan Warriors for a while. After confirming that there were no weapons or combat units in these space fortresses that could threaten the Sky, he took the initiative to start the jump.

This level 3 floating land is not far from the Sky, but it is also relatively speaking. If it really relies on light speed cruising, it will probably take at least dozens of hours.

As soon as the Sky appeared outside the desolate floating land, his eyes turned to the space fortresses in the distance.

The floating land itself has lost its value after all, and the alien creatures in the fortress are obviously more valuable at this moment.

It is called a fortress, but in fact it is more like a small space station with its own internal ecological cycle, which is much simpler than the super-large wartime fortress.

Song Chi guessed that their main function is most likely to monitor the floating land of the star sea below.

Ten minutes later, Song Chi easily captured all the alien creatures in several fortresses, and at the same time, he also collected some information he wanted.

This humanoid alien with pointed heads and four claws calls itself the "Hunyuan Clan", and the civilization they belong to is called the Huyuan Civilization. Based on some scattered information revealed by these monitoring aliens, Song Chi inferred that this "Hunyuan Civilization" is likely to be an intermediate civilization.

It started more than 30,000 years ago and started with technology. Now it has a territory of more than 10,000 light years, controls nearly a thousand life floating lands, and has a population of more than 10 billion. The strongest combat unit under its jurisdiction is called the Huyuan Mothership, which is suspected to have a fourth-level combat power.

However, the status of these Huyuan people responsible for monitoring is average, and it is not clear how many Huyuan Motherships are under the jurisdiction of the Huyuan Civilization.

In addition, there is no Level 4 Star Sea Floating Land in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Huyuan Civilization, whether it is life-type or resource-type, which is also a point that makes Song Chi extremely disappointed.

Intermediate civilizations like this without level 4 floating land are very rare in the Broken Star Sea. They are usually of low potential and limited civilizational heritage. However, he did not expect to encounter one himself, which made Song Chi full of complaints.

Finally, there is one more point that makes Song Chi quite puzzled. In the impression of these hunting source tribes, there are actually a large number of barren floating lands like the one in front of them in their civilization territory, which is obviously abnormal.

Generally speaking, the floating lands in the Broken Star Sea are basically divided into two categories: life-type floating lands and resource-type floating lands, of which resource-type floating lands account for more than 99%.

Among these astonishing number of resource-based floating lands, there are also barren floating lands, mineral floating lands, special astronomical resource floating lands, etc.

Even if it is a barren floating land, there will be a small amount of various resources distributed on the floating land. Such a truly completely barren floating land is actually very rare, even rarer than the life-type floating land.

Based on this, Song Chi was sure that this situation was abnormal.

After getting the information he wanted, Song Chi easily solved all the hunting source tribes.

However, he didn't quite believe it, so he deliberately stayed on this level 3 floating land for a while and roughly detected it with the [ultrasonic geomagnetic detector] component.

Until he never detected the existence of any resource veins, he was completely sure that the floating land under his feet was indeed a nearly worthless barren floating land.

It's not that Song Chi didn't believe in evil, but that purely barren floating lands in the star sea are really rare.

The reasons for the formation of barren floating lands are divided into congenital and acquired. In the same star field, such a dense appearance is unlikely to be congenital, and it is likely to be acquired.

But it is not easy to do this after birth.

Except for the worms, which devour all the energy on the floating land without restraint, there is basically only one way to extract the floating land origin core of a piece of Xinghai floating land.

Excluding the worms, which will never coexist peacefully with other civilizations, there is only one left.

After guessing this, Song Chi's doubts are still unanswered.

Extracting the floating land origin core of Xinghai floating land is something that at least the fourth-level life of Xinghai can do, and if you want to extract the origin core of the floating land of level 3 or 4, it takes a long time for the fifth-level existence to be possible. With the peak combat power of the hunting source civilization, it should not be possible.

Then the question is, how did the hunting source civilization do this?

After confirming that the floating land under his feet was a barren floating land, Song Chi had this doubt in his heart.

With this curiosity, he activated another jump device on the Sky.

Dozens of light years away, outside a Level 2 floating land under the jurisdiction of the Shuyuan civilization, the Sky quietly appeared.

Without any pause, with the cover of [Mirage Dragon Pearl] and [Void Membrane], and the fact that there was no Shuyuan mothership on this floating land, Song Chi directly controlled the Sky to land on this floating land.

A few hours later, when the Sky rushed out of this floating land again, he had already obtained the complete star map of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Shuyuan civilization, and also obtained the specific number of its Shuyuan motherships.

"There are only four Shuyuan motherships? In this case, there is no need to worry at all..."

Having made up his mind, Song Chi quickly set his next stop on the only three Shuyuan floating lands in the Shuyuan civilization, No. 003.

One of the Shuyuan motherships was stationed on this No. 003 floating land. Song Chi's purpose was to meet this Shuyuan mothership, which was said to have a fourth-level combat power.

In addition, he also wanted to find out the method or specific information of the other party's extraction of the floating land origin core from this hunting source mothership.

Extracting the floating land origin core has never been an easy task. Even if it is a fifth-tier battleship captain, if he wants to extract a level 1 or 2 floating land origin core, it will take at least 10 years, and level 3 and 4 will take 20 years or more. It is not surprising that some take 40 years.

But such a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing is extremely valuable.

An ordinary level 1 or 2 floating land origin core can be directly comparable to the value of purple ship-borne parts, and a level 3 can even be comparable to an orange part.

As for level 4, a higher purity can even be exchanged for a red top-grade upgraded fire source.

If it is a level of 5 or 6, the value is said to be comparable to a silver legendary part.

Why is the floating land origin core so valuable?

It's very simple!

It can be integrated into the floating land origin core of other Xinghai floating lands to quickly strengthen the other party. This method can quickly improve the level of a Xinghai floating land.

Take the Morning Star Twin Floating Lands for example. When they were first discovered five thousand years ago, they were all ordinary level 5 floating lands. Now, thousands of years have passed. Because the Morning Star Family has continuously provided the floating land origin cores of low-level floating lands, the Morning Star Yin Land can go all the way from the initial level 5 to the current level 5 peak.

It is said that the Morning Star Yin Land is now stuck at the node of promotion to level 6. It will become the first level 6 life floating land in the principality in less than a hundred years.

The same is true for the Dragon Ridge Continent. Three thousand years ago, it was also an ordinary level 5. With the help of a large number of low-level floating land origin cores provided by the Song clan, although it has not yet entered the peak of level 5, it is not far away. It is basically in one or two hundred years.

Therefore, even if the floating land origin core is difficult to extract, there are still many Xinghai fourth-level life forms flocking to it.

This is why Song Chi is so interested. If the Shuyuan civilization really has some special means to extract the core of the floating land, and can ignore the restrictions of high-level life, the value must be beyond imagination.

...

A few days later, after traveling thousands of light years, the Sky finally arrived at the Shuyuan 003 floating land. He also saw the Shuyuan mothership with a somewhat astonishing size.

Compared with the size of most fourth-level units in the Broken Star Sea, which is about 3,000 years, the length of this Shuyuan mothership is a terrifying 10,000 meters. At first glance, Song Chi thought the other party was a fifth-level combat unit.

However, after seeing the countless bombing drones carried on this battleship, Song Chi understood it immediately.

As an interstellar mothership, this warship is not a single warship system with perfect volume ratio, but is more inclined to cluster bombing. The larger the volume, the more unmanned carrier-based aircraft it can carry, and the more terrifying the combat power.

However, Song Chi did not care about this.

Although there are many unmanned bombing carrier-based aircraft on this mothership, the premise is that the mothership must have a chance to let them take off.

The radar on the Shuyuan mothership is obviously not very good. Even if the Cangqiong has approached the range of 10,000 meters, it still has not captured the existence of the Cangqiong.

This also gives Song Chi plenty of time to prepare.

Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon

Soul-Destroying Pupil Light Cannon

Electromagnetic Lightning Light Cannon

Red Fire Sky Curtain Cannon

Shadow Destroying Demon Cannon

Cold Light Sky Frost Cannon

External Armor-Piercing Cobalt Bullet Launcher

All the weapons on the Cangqiong began to be ready to go. When the two main guns completed the final charging, the seven roared at the same time.

Song Chi did not aim at the weaknesses of the Shuyuan mothership to attack. All targets were the unmanned carrier-based aircraft on the mothership.

Boom boom boom...

Amidst the fierce bombing, brilliant fireworks erupted on the entire mothership deck.

This is not over yet. The two group attack secondary guns [Electromagnetic Lightning Cannon] and [Red Fire Sky Cannon] played the greatest effect at this time. Both continued to fire, and each round of artillery fire could cover multiple unmanned carrier-based aircraft.

In a short period of time, before the opposite party of the Hunting Source Clan could react, most of the drones on the mothership had been destroyed.

By the time the other party realized it belatedly and propped up the fourth-level nuclear shield, only one in ten of the entire ship-borne drones had survived.

Without the threat of these drones, the Sky could easily suppress the Hunting Source mothership head-on.

Nuclear shield?

Under the concentrated fire of the [Shadow Devil Cannon] and the two main guns, it completely collapsed not long after.

More than 20 minutes later, the Hunting Source mothership was successfully sunk by Song Chi.

This was the result of Song Chi's active retention of his men in fear of damaging various important components on the mothership.

Then it was time to count the harvest and collect relevant information about the "Floating Land Origin Core".

After the Void Shadow Killer Clan soldiers searched the entire Hunting Source Mothership, Song Chi got two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news was that he really found the special device used by the Hunting Source civilization to extract the floating land origin core.

The bad news was that this special device was not a rare item, and it could not be disassembled from the Hunting Source Mothership. It was automatically destroyed the moment the mothership sank.
