Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Chapter 24 Steadfast Class Frigate

Yuanxing No.

Upper floor of the palace, hall outside the master bedroom.

"How long has it been postponed?"

The hot water hit him, and the report from 001 made Li Meng roll his eyes.

If the "Cobra" destroyer can be built as expected.

That should have been launched three months ago.

He waited month after month, and finally, three months passed.

001: "99 days..."

Why not round up the whole number?

"It won't be postponed again, right?"

001: "The final work was completed a few hours ago."

Okay, it seems that the "Cobra" destroyer is really launched.

"What do I need to prepare if I set sail?"

001: "It is expected to take half a year."

"Half a year? How could it be so long?"

Li Meng looked puzzled, he couldn't wait half a year.

"The "Cobra" destroyer is being "baptized", which will take some time."

baptism?

The corner of Li Meng's mouth twitched as he remembered.

The Human Empire in Warhammer 40K does have this setting.

The Mechanicum's group of oil guys believe that all machines are alive and have souls.

The blessings of the God of All Machines must be given to avoid being invaded by the evil consciousness of the Warp.

Everywhere on the ship will be engraved with "sacred texts" that have no meaning.

Sitting with his back against the edge of the pool, Li Meng thought quickly in his mind.

No, this is a waste of time.

The "tech-priests" must be prevented from baptizing the "Cobra" destroyer.

But how to stop it, Li Meng couldn't think of a reason for a while.

As the regent, he cannot deny the significance of the Mechanicum's baptism of all "machines".

This is a culture, a belief, a heritage...

"There is news from the bridge. Abnormal gravitational fluctuations occurred in the star field on the edge of the S-01888 star system. An unknown spacecraft suddenly appeared and has sailed into the star system. According to the route calculation, it will arrive at the No. 2 star in two hours. ”

The report from 001 made Li Meng's face change slightly.

Has an unknown spacecraft entered the S-01888 star system?

The news came too suddenly.

After fifteen months and more than a year, the S-01888 star system finally welcomed a new guest.

Frowning slightly, Li Meng stood up and left the pool naked.

Erin and Ellie quickly stood up while waiting on the shore.

He greeted me with a bath towel and nightgown in his hands.

"There is news from the bridge that a gravitational collapse occurred in the star field where the unknown spacecraft is located. It is expected to be an unknown super-light flight technology. Ten seconds ago, the unknown aircraft appeared in the outer space outside the gravity well of the No. 2 star."

Under the service of Irene and Ellie, Li Meng put on a silver nightgown.

Li Meng quickly came to the glass wall and looked at the starry sky outside with a thoughtful look on his face.

So, is this the first time the other party has come to the S-01888 star system?

Otherwise, the other party would not have appeared in the dark universe outside the S-01888 star system first.

Then scan the S-01888 star system, lock on the No. 2 star, and perform a short-distance jump.

Instead, it will appear directly in outer space near Star 2.

"001, inform Donald that all "baptism" work is suspended, and the "Cobra" destroyer must be put into use immediately."

"Also, notify Ralph and ask him to lead the students on board the ship immediately. Within two hours, the "Cobra" destroyer must set sail."

Li Meng was worried that there was no reason to prevent the Mechanicum from "baptizing" the "Cobra" destroyer.

I didn’t expect the reason to come up so quickly.

Although this was not the reason he wanted.

But we can only catch the duck and put it on the shelf.

Why the other party chose Star No. 2 is definitely not a coincidence.

Li Meng did not forget the unusual location on Star 2.

Maybe the other party came to the unusual location.

If this is the case, then the identity of the other party must be a human being from Earth.

Just as Li Meng was preparing to deal with the sudden appearance of uninvited guests.

On the other side, in the dark universe.

There is an earthy yellow planet floating alone in the universe.

It has two satellites of different sizes, one large and one small, orbiting it.

It is Star 2.

In appearance, Star 2 looks very similar to Star 1.

It is also khaki, but the size of the planet is smaller, only half of that of Star 1.

It is also further away from the star, and the temperature during the day and night is lower than that of Star 1.

But today, Star 2 welcomed a new guest for the first time.

In the universe outside the planet's gravity well, the space suddenly distorted and a blue vortex erupted.

A strange spaceship flew out of the whirlpool.

It is silver-gray in color, has a sci-fi feel, and looks like a gun without a handle.

It is more than 500 meters long, 120 meters wide and 110 meters high.

The front half of the hull is hollow in the middle, has an acceleration track, and is an electromagnetic gun.

There are three huge engines at its tail, arranged in a triangle.

There are two big ones and one small one, big on the bottom and small on the top.

Blue flames spurted out from the huge nozzle, pushing the spacecraft closer to the second star.

It is a battleship, a true warship.

At this moment, in the low bridge on the upper level of the spacecraft...

"We're finally here, Leo. Thank you for your help. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to complete the mission in three years."

Looking at the khaki planet outside the window, Molin looked delighted.

He thanked the people next to him with a grateful expression.

Both of them were dressed in dark silver military uniforms and wore large-brimmed hats.

Grinning, Leo said cheerfully: "We are all members of the "UNSC", and we should help each other. Besides, idleness is also idle, and it just happens to be an excuse to take this Steadfast-class frigate for a spin."

Outside the view window, the khaki planet is getting closer...

About twenty minutes later, the battleship entered the orbit of the No. 2 star.

"Governor Leo, we have entered the orbit of the planet. I need new instructions..."

There is no crew on the bridge, only a terminal platform used by the ship's AI.

This makes the space on the bridge very wide.

"Stand by in orbit to prepare a landing team to escort Governor Morin to the anomalous location."

"The order has been conveyed. The third mobile team is gathering and is expected to be on standby at Bay No. 2 in ten minutes."

Turning to look at Molin beside him, Leo said: "Molin, the next landing is up to you."

Nodding, Mo Lin said: "Then I'll get ready."

Without saying anything more, Mo Lin turned around and left quickly.

As Maureen left, Leo looked at a virtual villain on the terminal platform.

Alanza, the ship's AI for this Steadfast-class frigate.

"Elanza, where is the other abnormal location?"

The holographic virtual villain disappeared and was replaced by a star map of the S-01888 star system.

An earth-yellow planet was locked, enlarged, and entered Leo's eyes.
