Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

ten minutes later……

A Pelican transport plane escaped from the planet's gravity and returned to the Awe.

As the Pelican returned, minutes later, the Awe's tail engines erupted in dazzling blue flames.

Under the powerful thrust, the Awe turned around and slowly flew out of the planet's gravity well.

"Leo, leave one detector behind, don't turn it on, and let it use inertia to go to the planet where the abnormality is located."

Hurrying back to the bridge, Maureen made a suggestion to Leo.

Leo nodded and said: "That's what I meant, but I can't be too anxious. The other party will definitely find out if the detector is launched now. The moment the Awe enters the jump space, the detector will be thrown out with the help of the cover of gravitational collapse. "

"Elanza, set the jump distance immediately, not too far, just jump out in the dark universe outside the star system. We will stay in the dark universe outside the star system for several months."

Alantha: "Understood, the jump distance has been set. After leaving the planet's gravity well, it will enter the jump space immediately. It is expected to take five minutes..."

Standing in front of the window, Leo had a solemn expression on his face.

He will leave, but he will never return empty-handed.

He will collect as much information as possible about the S-01888 star system.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

Although the opponent is a human being on Earth, he may become an enemy of the "UNSC" in the future.

He must collect all the information on the other party as much as possible to prepare for the future.

Five minutes later, a blue light burst out in the dark starry sky.

The Awe, flying at high speed, plunged into the blue vortex...

"Prince Regent, the other party has left..."

As the Awe enters slipspace.

In the bridge of the destroyer Cobra.

Li Meng also received a report from the Technology Priest.

He saw it, and saw a blue light burst out of the dark universe.

The other party has left, and it is his turn to land on the planet.

Now that I'm here, of course I have to take the opportunity to complete the other half of the mission.

Li Meng stood up and strode out of the bridge.

As he walked, he said: "Prepare a "V3" transport boat. I want to land on Planet 2."

Ten minutes later, the No. 1 harbor gate on the left side of the "Cobra" destroyer slowly opened.

A "V3" transport boat flew out of the gate and rushed towards the surface of the planet.

After a while, the "V3" transport boat broke into the atmosphere and turned into a big fireball.

Twenty minutes later, the wasteland south of the pyramid once again welcomed a new guest.

The engine roars and the yellow sand rolls...

A fifty-meter-long aircraft landed slowly.

Not long after, figures came out of the rolling yellow sand.

"It's so hot..."

Looking up at the pyramid building not far away, Li Meng thought to himself.

The temperature that exploded on the helmet display let Li Meng know how high the temperature outside was.

"001, where does the heat source come from?"

The surface temperature of Star 2 is far less than that of Star 1, by one-third.

Obviously, the high temperature outside does not come from the star, but from something else.

As expected, 001 following Li Meng answered Li Meng's question.

"The heat source comes from the pyramid construction..."

The place where the "V3" transport boat docks is not far from the pyramid.

Very close, only a few hundred meters away.

Soon, protected by a small group of Astra Militarum, Li Meng arrived under the pyramid.

"Look around. If you find an entrance, report it immediately..."

The Astra Militarum soldiers dispersed in a rush, exploring in both directions.

"Prince Regent, no entrance was found..."

"There's nothing here either..."

The Astra Militarum soldiers circled the pyramid and found nothing.

No entrance?

Looking up at the nearly 100-meter-tall pyramid building, Li Meng looked thoughtful.

There must be an entrance, but because it is a relic from the ancient interstellar civilization era, they could not find it.

Since this pyramid building can dissipate heat, it means that the internal energy system should still be running.

Maybe it was out of control and the temperature could not be controlled, so it spread outside.

"001, maybe explode one on the wall... or forget it..."

As soon as the idea of ​​blowing a hole in the wall of the pyramid arose, Li Meng rejected it.

If there are "blue devils" in the pyramid, it would be bad to wake them up.

Rather than completing the task, Li Meng didn't want to wake up the Blue Devil prematurely.

Only half of the three-year time limit has passed, so he doesn't need to be too anxious.

Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. With the "Star Child" random feature, there is no penalty for mission failure.

If it doesn't work, send warships to blow up the pyramid, and it will be over.

It doesn't matter if it has any value, as long as it completes the task.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and one million trade coins is still a lot.

However, there is another way...

"001, notify Captain Ralph and ask him to conduct a directional scan of the layer where the pyramid is located."

Although the true face of the pyramid cannot be seen with the naked eye.

But with the help of technological instruments, we can see what’s going on beneath the earth’s surface.

"The command has been sent and relevant data is being received..."

A blue light shot out from 001's electronic eyes, forming a holographic screen in front of Li Meng.

On the screen is a terrain analysis map.

"It's really big enough..."

The ground has become blurred, and the part of the pyramid buried underground came into Li Meng's eyes.

Big, very big...

In terms of volume, it is probably larger than the 10-kilometer-class Ark.

And the part exposed on the surface is only a small part of the tip of the pyramid building.

Because the "Cobra" destroyer is in orbit, the exploration depth of the ground is only a few hundred meters.

In the picture, Li Meng still can't see the whole picture of the pyramid building.

If you want to explore deeper ground, you must use special ground exploration equipment.

This time I'm afraid it will be in vain again.

Li Meng really wants to make a hole in the pyramid and go in to take a look.

But he is afraid of awakening the "blue devil" that may exist in the pyramid.

Facing unknown creatures, it is still unknown whether they are strong or weak.

But he dare not take risks, and he is even more unwilling to disrupt the current stable development situation.

But Li Meng also knows that he can no longer ignore the potential threats of Star 1 and Star 2 as before.

"Regent, the door, a door is open..."

Li Meng was about to give the order to retreat, when a soldier's voice suddenly sounded in the communicator.

This made Li Meng's face startled, and he immediately asked: "Where is it?"

"The north side, it suddenly opened, I didn't touch it."

North?

Li Meng hurriedly walked to the north side of the pyramid.

On the north side, Li Meng saw the door.

It was very small, a circular door with a diameter of less than two meters.

Some soldiers were surrounding the door, using the miniature searchlights on the laser rifles to illuminate the dark environment inside.

"Regent, it can be opened and closed, it may not be appropriate to go in rashly..."

In front of the door, Li Meng stopped.

Looking at the dark environment behind the door.

Nothing can be seen, only deep darkness...
