Chapter 198 The Strange 0 Prime Reaction

After a while, five people boarded the shuttle, and as the lifter slowly lifted, the cabin door at the end of the take-off and landing deck on the upper hangar opened upwards.

Start the engine, push the throttle lever forward, and the shuttle, like a koi jumping out of the water, quickly leaves the mothership and flies towards an area on the top of the ruins.

The entire relay station is in the shape of a rudder, and the roulette is composed of two ring structures, one large and one small. The inner ring should be used to stabilize the wormhole, while the larger outer ring should be an array of energy equipment. As for The outermost "rudder stock" part may be some auxiliary function facilities.

According to the picture sent back by the unmanned reconnaissance plane, Tang Fang set the landing site of the shuttle on the "rudder pole" with the most energy slots at the top of the relay station. Judging from the direction of the energy slots on the surface of the entire ruins, there is a great possibility It is where the control center is located.

After a while, entering the weak gravity zone within 10km of the ruins, the flight computer automatically adjusted the direction of thrust, and the shuttle slowed down and landed slowly on an apron at the central "rudder bar".

Before leaving the plane, Tang Fang took out several sets of human power armor from the system space: "The situation inside is unknown, put them on."

Aros and Howson calmly received a set of Ma Runjia and Marauder Power Armor and put them on. Walton and Churchill were very excited. To be honest, they have been coveting this thing for a long time, and now they finally got it. wish.

Walton picked out a horse-run armor, and Churchill rolled his big eyes, giggling, and walked up to the -660 Firebat Powered Armor, watching Howson's movements follow the rules of the gourd, and after a long time he finally managed to His buffalo-like body was stuffed inside.

Claire pondered for a moment, then walked towards a horse run armor, but Tang Fang next to her didn't want to grab her, and with a wave of his hand, a set of -405 power armor specially designed for nurses appeared in front of her: "You wear this."

The girl turned her head and glanced at him, and then stepped forward to put it on. Howson had a very naughty smile on his face. Patting Tang Fang on the shoulder: "Tsk, tsk, so you are also good at this..."

This guy has always been a dog who can't spit out ivory, Tang Fang snorted coldly. He ignored it, turned around and walked to a suit of horse run armor to put on.

A few minutes later, the group was ready to go, and just as Aros was about to open the door, Grant's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Tang Fang, the unmanned reconnaissance drone has detected some abnormalities in the ruins, and I have sent you the video data passed on."

"Huh?" He raised his hand to signal a few people. Later, he walked quickly to the center console and clicked several buttons on the touch panel in succession, and the light and shadow on the center screen flickered. A somewhat strange scene appeared.

The circumference of the repeater's rudder stock building is more than 60 kilometers,

People standing on it are like walking on the ground, wide energy tanks are spread all over the surface of the building like carvings, and from a distance, these carvings are flashing faint blue streamers. With the huge size of the ruins, it is very sci-fi, exquisite and beautiful.

However, in the short-range aerial images gathered by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, black bumps appear at regular intervals on the surface of the energy tanks with a width of several hundred meters. Look carefully. Like... a cocoon?

Tang Fang suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little wandering. How could there be creatures alive in the cold void? Furthermore, the epidermis of these "cocoons" obviously has metallic characteristics, and the possibility of life is unlikely.

"Tang Fang, the unmanned reconnaissance plane captured some strange scenes again."

Grant then sent over footage taken by another unmanned surveillance drone, on some "rudder stock" structures. Groups of black cocoons spread all over the surface of the building, and every time there is a streamer flashing on the energy tank, the skin of the black cocoons will light up dots of stars, and it looks colorful from a distance. It's really gorgeous.

"It doesn't seem to be a problem, right?" Walton expressed his opinion. The black cocoon has a metallic color, no matter how you look at it, it is a kind of annexed building of the ruins, so what danger can it have?

"Nehemiah also thinks the same, but I always feel that these black cocoons appear a little abruptly. That's why I ask you to be careful." Grant explained.

Howson squeezed up from behind and said with a serious face: "My intuition tells me that this thing is very dangerous."

"Boom." Aros slapped his iron skull from behind: "Your intuition? That thing is less reliable than Byron's eye patch."

"Byron... how can he compare with me." Howson tilted his neck and yelled.

Aros smiled coldly: "Don't forget, when he was in prison, he was your boss."

"I..." Howson's expression froze: "That's all in the past. What I'm doing now is much more interesting than being a pirate. In the future, maybe it will be famous in history and will last forever."

"Pfft." Walton, Churchill and the others almost burst out laughing. The words "Historical reputation, eternal fame" spit out from this guy's mouth, no matter how awkward it sounds, it makes people want to slap Kill his impulse.

"Hausen, are you a tease sent by the old man?" Churchill rubbed the "flame of destruction" plasma injector on the front of his arm back and forth. As an artilleryman, he absolutely loves this pair.

"New here, shut up." As a veteran, he was ridiculed by a newcomer, and Hao Sen suddenly became angry: "Do you want to taste the taste of assholes?"

Churchill showed no sign of weakness: "What kind of death do you prefer? Grilling? Or frying?"

"Oh! I should have thought of it earlier." Tang Fang patted his forehead with a wry smile, and asked himself in his heart: "Is it wrong for me to bring these two people together?"

"Churchill." Walton tugged at him, and slapped a book on his chest: "Keep your treasure safe."

Tang Fang glanced sideways, and saw five large characters written on the cover, "Actor's Self-Cultivation."

An artilleryman who wants to be an actor? God... who are these people. For a moment, he felt in a trance that his worldview was about to collapse.

"You two are talking too much nonsense." Aross opened the hatch with a "swish", and with the strength of the exoskeleton, he carried Howson in one hand and Churchill in the other, "swish, swish", Throwing the two of them out of the cabin like dead dogs, he turned his head and said "Let's go" to Tang Fang, and then jumped down. Tang Fang nodded, followed by Claire and Walton.

Because the relay station has a gravity compensation mechanism, several people jumped out and landed on the surface of the ruins steadily. A column-shaped building with a diameter of 20 kilometers can imagine how spectacular it is.

The platform where the shuttle is parked should be an ancillary facility for some unmanned maintenance aircraft. Walk along the connecting bridge for a distance, and come to a hatch structure. After inspection, this is a safety door that can only be opened from the inside.

Churchill wanted to use brute force to break it open, but this proposal was rejected by Tang Fang. There are two reasons: First, due to the sturdiness of the ruins, ordinary weapons cannot damage them at all. Second, you must know that the relay station is similar to a transportation hub. According to common sense, the Ipsilon will definitely arrange some defensive equipment on it to resist foreign enemies or asteroids drifting around. If it is strong, what if the automatic defense facilities of the ruins are activated?

Just when the few people felt helpless, Grant sent a communication request. After the connection was connected, Tang Fang introduced the embarrassment they were facing.

After learning about the situation at the scene, Grant transmitted the latest information obtained by the unmanned reconnaissance drone to the built-in computer of Tang Fang's power armor.

It was a partial structural diagram of the ruins, and the target object was the "rudder stock" where several people were located. Combining the actual image and the building structure, Emma analyzed and gave a most likely route to the entrance.

Because there is only a distance of more than 20 kilometers, considering that it will take more time to go back and take the shuttle than walking forward, and the air route will not be able to detect the environment of the ruins, so after greeting 5 people, walk towards the target. .

The suspected entrance facility is located at the back. After a few people walked along the route map, the Morningstar disappeared from sight.

Under the light of the powered armor searchlight, the silver-gray building skin reflected blue halos, and the unmanned reconnaissance plane that had been following them cast a layer of faint light on the ground for several kilometers, illuminating the road in the distance .

The void is cold, silent, and dark. The road under our feet is the same, there is no temperature, no ups and downs, and the outer wall of the entire ruins seems to be a natural thing, with no seams to be found.

Along the way, Claire used infrared thermal imagers, electromagnetic wave monitoring devices, photoelectric detectors and other equipment to conduct environmental inspections on the ruins. The results are very frustrating. Except for the energy curve of Zero Element which has been fluctuating, other readings including heat energy, electromagnetic radiation, radioactive elements, etc. have been maintained at 0 points.

Howson laughed at her for being unnecessary, but Churchill helped the girl retort, calling him stupid and a stick. The two of them almost started fighting again, but in the end it was Aros who made the move and let them learn what is called the "buttocks back flattening the sand and falling wild goose pose", and the two became more honest.

After walking another distance, a ray of light gradually rises on the horizon, which is as blue and clear as running water. Don't think about it, it must be near the energy tank.

"Hey, look." Claire exclaimed, and raised the multi-functional detector in the palm of her hand towards several people.

Tang Fang took a closer look, and saw that the energy curve marked with No. 0 source element on the display screen of the instrument had turned into a straight line, a straight line that was even with the maximum measured value of the instrument.

"What's the matter? Isn't the zero element reaction always there?" Churchill muttered.

Walton also nodded, only Tang Fang and Aros looked at each other, with a look of worry on their faces. Churchill is right, the zero element reaction around the ruins has always remained active. However, along the way, although the zero element curve has risen and fallen, it has never appeared in front of such an explosive attitude.

Of course, it may also be due to the proximity to the energy tank. In the eyes of others, this may be a reasonable explanation, but Tang Fang and Aros obviously don't think so. With the strong technological level of the Ipsi dragons, even space-time wormholes can be opened, will it be impossible to shield the zero element reaction? how can that be!

After thinking about it, Tang Fang figured out two possibilities.
