Chapter 657: Do Business or Have Fun?
Link did not expect that when everyone was immersed in the shock and oppression brought by the advanced civilization of the transition gate, Helen would actually think of the deeper issue of the distinction between civilizations.
Since Helen asked, Link answered truthfully.
"If you want to rank the universe civilization, then the human civilization level of the waste Saturn can only be ranked at level zero. It is mainly reflected in the fact that it can only use the resources of the planet itself for development, and it is still in the stage of fossil fuels." Then Link said. Turning around, looking at Helen, he said, "But Helen, the tokamak device you made has brought the wasteland into the era of clean energy, and now the civilization level of the wasteland Saturn has reached level 1."
Just as Link was telling, and everyone was listening, Troy gradually approached the gate of the transition under the guidance of Azhiko.
It's just that now everyone is immersed in Link's popular science, and they have no time to watch the magnificent transition gate outside. On the contrary, the mechanical fortress rest area and the people of the major forces were lying on the porthole, staring at the miracle of creation outside.
"It's terrifying, this height is like a pillar!"
"Snap it, snap it. I didn't expect to see this scene in my lifetime."
"What kind of civilization can make this kind of thing?"
Whether it is the player or the NPC, it is extremely shocking at this moment. They came out of the wasteland, and Ben looked like children who had just entered the city. It's just that they didn't expect to enter the city, just a "doorway" in a remote suburb, and they were so surprised that they couldn't speak, and their brains went blank.
The mechanical fortress is getting closer and closer to the transition gate, and soon the picture outside the string window needs to be looked up.
The milky white transition gate energy in front of him is like a lake, and it begins to rippling after the mechanical fortress approaches.
When the mechanical fortress is completely close to the transition gate, people can see from the porthole that the thickness of the "Tianzhu" of the transition gate is beyond their imagination, and there are also gap lines for modular installation on it, which looks very mechanical. .
Azhiko has jumped ahead of time, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed after the mechanical fortress entered it.
At this moment, in the control room of the mechanical fortress, everyone glanced outside the scene and found that the outside was full of brilliance. There is a huge black hole on the front, and the light quickly diverges from all directions, with brilliance, as if entering some kind of colorful neon pipe.
Link's face was as usual, and he continued to popularize science: "Second-level civilization is stellar civilization. At this time, creatures can use the stars in this star system to obtain energy. The most common one is Dyson sphere. But such a second-level civilization can easily be used by other people. Discover and keep an eye on it, because the brightness of stars decreases sharply, they will be observed by other civilizations, and energy competition is becoming more and more fierce, so interstellar wars most often occur in second-level civilizations. Of course, this is only a technological civilization, and some other psionic civilizations absorb energy The methods are also similar, they call this ascension..."
Just as everyone listened to Link's story in fascination, the mechanical fortress left the transition wormhole, and the picture in front of them suddenly changed. In a moment, they came to another star system, as empty as the desolate star system.
At this moment, Azhiko, who was leading the way in the distance, suddenly sent a warning message, interrupting everyone.
"Report, traces of battle were found on the front line. There were strong fluctuations in the energy field that did not completely dissipate after the battle, and there were also falling debris.
According to preliminary analysis, it was a medium-sized carrier ship that was hit. "
After Achiko informed him, Ah Fu looked at Link with a puzzled expression. Didn't the boss say before that the star systems here are all in the wilderness, and almost no outsiders will pass by? Why is there a battle just after the jump?
For almost an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Link, waiting for the head of state to issue an order.
Link felt hot on his face when he thought of what he had said to Ah Fu before. The front foot just finished saying that there will be no interstellar predators in such a barren galaxy. In a blink of an eye, the battle traces were found after the jump, and the face was too fast.
Link's eyebrows were slightly dignified.
Medium carrier ships are no small matter, such ships are usually found in bustling galaxy. Because it has both carrying and combat capabilities, it is often used as the most conventional ship under the larger forces, or the action hull of some mercenary chapters. Even the First Order only has two medium-sized carrier ships, which are not easily used, and are only used for strategic needs most of the time.
Right now, the medium-sized carrier ships have all been smashed to pieces, showing the intensity of the battle.
But in the eyes of Mechanical Fortress, these ships can only be considered small.
In the engine bay of the Mechanicum, it is not a problem to accommodate two medium carriers.
Is it for business or for fun?
Link made a judgment in an instant.
Being able to have a medium-sized carrier ship, whether it is a big force or a mercenary battle group, is worth taking a look at Link.
After all, it is very wrong to have a medium-sized carrier in a declining galaxy like the Vatican galaxy. Maybe there will be a plot behind it?
Of course, the most important thing is that you don't eat bastards if you have melons!
Now that the melon is close at hand, just leaving silently like this is too out of Link's style.
Link raised his hand and said decisively: "Come up and see what's going on!"
Everyone's eyes flashed with joy, and at the same time they were nervous. Helen hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but say: "Führer, only rail guns can cause damage to the mechanical fortress at present. If you approach us rashly, we have no conventional defense means."
The corners of Link's mouth twitched slightly, and he had already seen Helen's careful thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I will act as I see fit, and the nine-patterned dragon is always on call."
Not many people have seen the Black Throne, and only Helen and a very small number of staff have seen the second form of Mechanical Fortress.
For the Black Throne, Helen has only two words - rest assured.
Powerful firepower and exaggerated defenses make the Black Throne enough to wreak havoc on the galaxy. Not to mention the distance, it is simply in the Vatican galaxy, and there is absolutely no problem in walking sideways.
With Link's words, Helen immediately smiled and hurried to the console to adjust the course according to the information given by Azhiko.
Troy was not idle either. Using the communication device of the mechanical fortress, he reported to all the staff what was going to happen next, and made an early warning in advance.
[Report to all members of the mechanical fortress, we have successfully passed through the transition gate to reach the ghost molten star system, but found battle marks and wreckage ahead. Now we will drive to the site of the incident at full speed, all combatants please prepare for battle! 】
Troy broadcasted it three times in a row, and the players and NPCs were still immersed in the shock of crossing the galaxy, and they all jumped when they suddenly heard the battle. How come this has just crossed the galaxy and ushered in a battle? But at the same time, a strong sense of excitement surged in their hearts. This will be their first time to fight against an extra-interstellar enemy. Whoever has the fastest hand will be able to grab the credit and spoils.
For a time, both players and NPCs were full of fighting spirit, eyeing them.
The spaceship is gradually approaching, and through the porthole of the mechanical fortress, you can clearly see the debris in the universe, and even the corpses that have been thrown and drifted in the universe. Those who have frozen to death can no longer die. Link glanced at the corpse's clothes, and could only see that it was a uniform blue combat uniform with uniform patterns on the shoulders and back.
Link tried to see the pattern on the combat uniform, but unfortunately the distance was too far and the corpses were distorted dead after being thrown into space.
Although he didn't see it clearly, Link had already confirmed the identity of the medium transport ship. It must be some mercenary battle group!
Helen, who was at the operating station, suddenly turned her head and said, "Fuerh, Azhiko has sent a signal back!"
In the picture, two aircraft are chasing in the dark space background. Large-scale damage to the right wing of the medium transport ship, the flank was destroyed, the debris was scattered into space, and the auxiliary engine at the tail had also stalled. The attack on the medium transport ship is a uniquely shaped aircraft.
It looks like a medieval pirate ship, with energy cannons on the flanks. A giant energy sail is deployed on the mast above the pirate ship, relying on the high-energy particles emitted by the stars to generate propulsion. Although the size is not as large as that of a medium-sized transport ship, it is much faster in terms of speed.
On the top of the pirate ship, each has an extremely long, spreading metal thorn that looks like the long, pointed upper jaw of a swordfish. Gives the feeling that it can pierce any aircraft.
The pirate ship slowly approached the medium-sized transport ship that was forced to stop, and then shot a lot of grappling hooks from the broadside, firmly locking the medium-sized transport ship and not giving it a chance to escape. A lot of small aircraft poured out of the pirate ship's exit, quickly approaching the place where the transport ship was blown up, and launched a landing activity.
When Link saw the action of the pirate ship aircraft in front of him, he immediately understood.
As A Fu thought, in a remote and unfeeling galaxy like the Fanti galaxy, he actually encountered a mercenary battle group and interstellar predators.
After seeing the picture, Link couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth: "It's interesting, it's really a robbery. Let's go, let's go over to persuade him!"
Azhiko continued to wait in place, and transmitted the first scene to the mechanical fortress in real time.
Mechanical fortresses speed up, while Troy broadcasts inside the fortress.
[Attention to all members, attention to all members, we will arrive at the first scene in three minutes, please prepare for battle! 】
The small aircraft in the pirate ship are all stuck in front of the gap of the medium transport ship, and it looks as if the predators in nature have eaten and parasitized some kind of creature.
At the same time, inside the medium transport ship, the mercenary chapter was doing the last resistance.
The interstellar predators entered the cabin and had completely captured the second half.
"The head of the regiment is bad! They physically cut off the engine control and we lost control of the engine room."
The head of the mercenary regiment frowned and put on his helmet: "We must regain control of the engine room, otherwise these interstellar predators will keep approaching like locusts. At the same time, send people to repair the defensive force field. , as long as the defensive force field is repaired, the attack of the interstellar predators will not hurt us. As long as we rush to the next warp gate with firepower, the First Order in this system will assist us in dealing with the predators."
"I will personally lead someone to regain control of the engine room. Others will guard the front of the spacecraft and must not allow predators to enter the cockpit."
The head of the mercenary regiment was fully armed, and just about to count the manpower to leave, but was hurriedly stopped by the driver.
"Captain! There is a turning point! It is detected that a super-large aircraft is rapidly approaching, do you send a distress signal to the other party?" The pilot's tone was excited, and he even had a vibrato when he shouted.
Very large aircraft.
As soon as these six words came out, the dozens of mercenaries in the cockpit were all stagnant.
Everyone understands what this means.
Only advanced civilizations can create super-large aircraft. It is surprising that predators appear in such a barren galaxy. There are also super-large aircraft, which is tantamount to bringing them a ray of light in the dark.
"Captain, do you really want to send out a distress signal? What if this super-large aircraft is an accomplice of the Marauder?" A mercenary couldn't help worrying.
The head of the regiment chuckled: "Even if it is an accomplice of the enemy, will it be worse than now? What's more, even within the Morvol galaxy cluster, there are only a handful of predators with super-large aircraft, but they will never appear in the Such a place!"
"So, send!"
With the command of the regiment commander, the driver immediately began to operate. Continuously send distress and access signals to the approaching mechanical fortress.
At the same time, the interstellar predators also detected the signal of fast approaching, and also discovered the existence of the mechanical fortress.
"Sir, it's not good, I found that a super-large aircraft is approaching quickly!"
The leader of the pirate ship's aircraft frowned, and immediately asked, "How long will it take for the other party to arrive at the scene?"
The operator quickly gave the answer: "At the opponent's current speed, we still have three minutes left."
The leader of the predators hammered the table with his fists, with a hideous face: "Damn! Why is there a super-large aircraft in a place where birds don't shit? When I came here, I didn't do a thorough investigation. Where did this shit galaxy come from? ?"
Just being angry at this moment can't solve any problems. The leader made a decision immediately after scolding: "Order the landing team to solve the battle within three minutes! At the same time, arrange a leash and drag the mercenary group forward first!"
Interstellar predators are well trained and have no idea how many such things have been done in the universe. He put the towing rope on the medium transport ship with ease, and then directly dragged the transport ship away.
This behavior of the interstellar predators surprised the mercenary group, and the members of the transport ship turned pale and could not help but exclaimed: "These lunatics!"
In the cockpit, the operator suddenly shouted excitedly: "Connected, we got in touch with each other!"
The head of the mercenary team immediately moved to the console, looking at the black and white noise gradually becoming clearer, and a young girl's face appeared.
"This is the waste Saturn mechanical fortress. We have received your call for help, and we also know what you are experiencing. Now, please hold on for another three minutes. Our fortress will arrive at your location in three minutes."
The entire cockpit was silent and stunned.
