Chapter 521 Sanctuary

Seeing the psychic flame again today, he was a little frightened. If the dimensional roaming terminal can really be repaired and reach other star systems in the "Lost Land", what if the equipment there is also damaged in the battle and needs to be reactivated? Then wouldn't he be in danger of being smoked?

Freya looked at his somewhat gloomy side face, thinking that he was feeling sorry for the statue guards on the ground, she hugged his back from behind, blindfolded him, and said "understanding": "You are feeling sorry for them Is it? How about it... Freya can be your eyes, okay?"

Tang Fang couldn't help laughing, grabbed her hand and took it away from his face: "Silly girl, who did you learn this from?"

She said seriously: "Sister Claire, she said that your task is to protect us and our task is to take care of you. She also said that girls should look like girls, and told me not to learn from Miss Zhou Ai."

"Ah... what should I do? What should I do?" She suddenly looked like a little girl who accidentally broke her beloved glass, she was on the verge of tears.

"What's wrong?"

"Sister Claire didn't let me say that to others. I... I accidentally... Uuuuuuuuuu what should I do?"

"Pfft ha ha." Tang Fang couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that Claire, who is usually older than sister Zhou Ai, is shorter than sister Zhou Ai, and is good enough to wear a skirt, so she also has such careful thoughts.

"You're still laughing." Freya looked at him angrily.

"Okay, I don't laugh...don't laugh" Although he said so on his mouth, the smile in his eyes was still strong.

Freya pouted her cheeks, stomped her feet angrily, and said loudly, "You swear, don't tell anyone, especially Miss Zhou Ai."

Tang Fang raised two fingers and said to the sky: "Okay. I swear I won't tell." Then he lowered his head to look at the little girl and said, "It's finally over."

Freya nodded, hugged his face and quickly kissed him. Then he fled to the distance like a child who has just been naughty, and the fluttering clothes brought a little life to the empty hall.

He wiped the drool off his cheek. Helplessly smiled, ignored her, walked to the psychic flame of the dimensional roaming terminal, stretched out his hands, and let the light thread gently attach to the back of his hand.

The rhomboid above burst into a ball of dazzling light, and the faint blue streamer spread along the texture of the "gate" building, floor, and wall to the surroundings, one after another e runes lit up, and the crystals on the roof shed star-like light . Illuminate the deep hall that is several kilometers long.

The beams on the left and right of the dimension "gate" bounce off a blue arc,

As time and space distorted in the middle, a wavy light curtain gradually emerged.

At this time, two "Cupids" flew to a touch platform in another area of ​​the main hall and connected to the control hub. After about a few seconds, there was a rumbling sound from the ground, about 500 meters behind the dimensional roaming terminal. The floor is retracted and separated, and a row of huge crystal pipe arrays is slowly raised.

The corresponding e rune on the roof lights up, and the plate is divided into two from the center. Retracted into the ceiling mezzanine, the huge crystal pipe continues to rise and pass through the huge skylight. Level with the roof of the main hall.

The metal structure at the root of the crystal pipe array extends outwards, forming a ladder. The bottom is connected to the floor, and the top is a row of electronic equipment. The grid is staggered, the light flows, and various Ipsilon symbols walk on the crystal screen.

At the same time, Tang Fang thought about it when he received a message from "Cupid". Behemoth appeared in the low-altitude orbit of "Tikal", and 2 Hercules transport planes and 5 medical transport planes flew out of the "pocket". Slowly landing on the roof of the hall, more than a dozen units will contain cesium-containing minerals and iridium-containing minerals. And several other unrefined minerals such as palladium and platinum were poured into the suspended car pocket of the crystal pipeline, and slowly slid down.

A few king worms descended from the folds of Behemoth, and unloaded some airtight jars on the edge of the "ecological stand" at the entrance of the main hall, which contained the elements needed to maintain the operation of the main hall.

About 5 minutes later, the rune gate leading to the warehouse in the main hall opened, and 15 "Cupids" and several unmanned engineering vehicles joined the process of transporting components, monitoring refining progress, cutting and integrating, and embedding cores.

The underground part of the main hall is like a modular automatic production line, which wakes up from silence and starts running slowly.

As an accessory facility of the "Ashtolando" system, it includes all the processes required for manufacturing dimensional locks and dimensional roaming terminals, such as refining of various mineral resources, material cutting, deep processing, data writing, assembly, etc.

Those unmanned engineering vehicles compressed the zero element fluid into a dark blue cube, injected it into the reaction furnace built at the base of the main hall through the energy delivery window, and then turned to an attached hall next to the warehouse, and neatly arranged dark golden cubes. The polymer is pulled into the location of the roaming terminal in the central dimension of the hall.

One "Cupid" stopped the monitoring operation, flew to the back of the unmanned engineering operation vehicle, stretched out its arm, the smooth crystal structure at the front changed for a while, drilled a probe structure, pressed on the central node of the dark golden polymer, and the silver Light spreads quickly on the surface of the polymer like a crack, and finally connects as a whole.

The right eye of "Cupid" shot out a light blue light curtain, and countless Ipsilon symbols flowed rapidly, forming ribbons of runes and flowing into the polymer core chipset.

In the same way, the 27 polymers in the back bucket of the unmanned engineering operation vehicle were operated once, and "Cupid" took two steps back, and the polymers were slowly floated from the bucket, and assembled in a certain order to form a cube of about 3 meters. The midair rotates clockwise, emitting slight energy fluctuations.

Tang Fang walked to the "door" and looked at the suspended cube in mid-air. No, it should be called a dimension lock. He never thought it would be in such a shape. According to his thinking, it should be more complicated.

Emma quickly corrected his point of view. The dimensional lock seems to have a simple cubic structure, but it is far from it, because the universe he lives in can only express material forms in three-dimensional effects. If it is placed in the subspace network constructed by the dimensional roaming terminal, Dimensional locks will take on different forms.

Tang Fang felt that it was better for him to keep his mouth shut. He was very afraid that Emma's popular science education on the issue of multi-dimensionality would be no less than a kind of torture to him. Fortunately, "Cupid" sent a message in time, asking him to designate Subspace Network replaced a damaged dimensional lock, so he quickly ordered Emma to call up the topological map of the dimensional lock.

Because the overall structure of the "Ashtolando" system is similar to the human Internet mechanism, there are some master nodes, and because these master nodes are responsible for the important "routing" function, it is difficult to support a dimensional lock. It is often necessary to combine multiple dimensional locks into clusters to form a dimensional lock matrix, which undoubtedly increases the consumption of raw materials.

According to "Cupid"'s calculation, the resources in Behemoth's body are not enough to repair the entire network. Tang Fang had already prepared for it to be able to meet only partial needs. Emma also made such an estimate at the beginning, and even if the local network is repaired, the "Ashtolando" hall of the star system within this range may not be completely preserved to support the precise transmission of biological individuals.

Of course, this is not a big problem, because once the "Ashtolando" system is repaired, even if it is only partial. The dimensional storm raging in the multidimensional space will slowly dissipate, making warp speed navigation based on warp speed engines possible.

Therefore, he must focus and choose a roadmap in order to obtain the most value with the least consumption.

There are many star systems around the "Lost Land". He doesn't know which star system contains the data to unlock the Protoss technology, or the rich Epsilon heritage. According to the information obtained from the obsolete observation station of the "Lookout Tower", the three star systems "Gamma-3", "Delta-5", and "Alpha-7" are set as the key restoration targets.

soon. "Cupid" responded that the two star systems "Gamma-3" and "Delta-5" can be tried, but "Alpha-7" is too far away from "Omega-2". There are too many nodes that need to be repaired in the middle, and it is difficult to achieve it with the current amount of resources.

He seriously recalled what was in "Alpha-7"... a 3000-kilometer space facility used to manufacture the Ypsilon battleship.

His face is a little ugly, "Alpha-7" is the best preserved among the three star systems, and it may be the most valuable star system.

But the situation is stronger than others, no matter how upset he is, he can only accept this reality and order "Cupid" to carry out partial repairs according to the route of "Omega-2"-"Gamma-3"-"Delta-5".

"Cupid" synchronizes this command to each individual. Then push the dimensional lock to enter the "door" structure. Disappeared in that shimmering light curtain.

At the same time, the psionic flame cast a light curtain outward. The progress of "Cupid" in the subspace tunnel is displayed in real time, and the unmanned engineering vehicle enters the attached hall next to the warehouse again, and pulls out another batch of dark gold polymers for making dimensional locks.

It seems that the repair work will take a long time, so I hesitate to go back to the shuttle to rest for a while, and come back when the time is almost there.

At this moment, Freya, who was wandering and playing all over the hall, suddenly called for him to come over, and walked over.

Not far in front of the girl were guarded by a few statues. She was squatting on the ground, picking something out of a hand that was broken at the elbow. When Tang Fang walked over, she finally completed the task and picked out a necklace-like thing. out.

Her little face was bright red, it seemed that she had put in a lot of effort just now, and when she heard the footsteps behind her, Xianbao seemed to show him the thing.

Below the necklace is a long prismatic crystal, which reflects the soft starlight under the light, which is very charming.

He thought it might be a weapon, because it was Freya who pulled it out from the palm of that arm, and planned to treat it with caution, but it was too late, the daredevil urged the electric current in his body to inject into the crystal like controlling an ankle ring.

The starlight exploded, and a sea of ​​starlight spread out around it, colorful and truly beautiful.

Tang Fang was taken aback, until he realized that there was no problem, then he let out a long sigh of relief, and reprimanded her for being reckless, if it was a mini bomb or something, wouldn't she be killed.

Freya tilted her head and said how could such a beautiful necklace be a bomb, if it was her, she would definitely not be willing to make it into a bomb and destroy it, what a pity.

"Don't try to reason with women, it will make a fool of yourself."

Tang Fang remembered a sentence he had heard before, so he simply shut up, thinking that since the crystal necklace was just an upgraded version of the "fairy stick", he might as well let her play with it.

Unexpectedly, this idea came to an end, the light dimmed, and stardust intertwined in the mid-air to form lifelike holographic figures.

Of course, it may not be appropriate to describe them as figures, because they are all Ipsi dragons.

It was the first time that Freya saw the appearance of the Ipsi dragon, the small mouth expanded into a round o shape, because of the emotional agitation, the posture of holding the crystal necklace was a little unstable, causing the image to shake. Slight distortion occurs.

Tang Fang walked over, grabbed her hand from behind, and looked forward with a serious face.

Unlike the memoirs of the girl Namisung saw. This imagery involves many Ypsi dragons, numbering in the hundreds. They wore robes made of unknown materials, with the same picture on them, or more properly called totems, giving people a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

Wearing a purple crown and looking very old, an Ipsi dragon man handed a vessel woven from herbs to a couple, and then prostrated himself to a hurricane-like mass in the distance. People followed suit, even the couple was no exception.

At this time. Tang Fang finally saw the object in the container clearly, it was a little baby, wrapped in a layer of translucent cloud-like colored substance, falling into a sweet sleep.

He looked up at the colorful hurricane hanging in mid-air, and found that it was very similar to the floating cloud that wrapped the baby. What was even more weird was that the hurricane was in a static state, like a colorful torch.

Freya looked at the hurricane and murmured, "It's so beautiful..."

The image freezes, and the light spots shake. Violent distortion occurred, the crystal in the middle of the necklace became dim, and the surrounding stars slowly disappeared.

She said in surprise, "Why not?"

Tang Fang frowned. Shen Sheng said: "Perhaps it is because the data stored in the crystal was damaged during the battle."

The crystal necklace was obtained by Freya from the broken arm of the statue guard, and inside it was the image log of the Ipsi dragon people. So many people gathered together, it looked like some kind of gratitude ceremony.

The moment he saw the mass of hurricane matter, a word "Luard Hehalcona" suddenly flashed in his mind. If he could find a human word to explain it, it should mean "sanctuary".

This feeling is very strange. I know it is a "sanctuary", but I don't understand why it is sacred. What does it represent? He understands the Ipsilon script. But I don't understand the Ypsilon culture, which is really contradictory.

And that baby. What is the origin? What is the relationship with the "sanctuary"?

Another question, since the crystal necklace is a relic of the Epsilon, why did it appear in the hands of the statue guard? If this kind of unmanned combat machine was ordered to protect the necklace, it means that there should have been Ipsi dragons in the hall at that time, but what about their corpses. Where did you go?

Think of "The Lost Land", think of the "Eye of the Storm" in the center, think of the glory of the Epsi Dragon, and think of the Epsi Dragon gene contained in the right arm of the epic creature and the members of the Brotherhood. Like layers of fog, it is unpredictable.

Freya waved her little hand in front of his eyes, and asked worriedly, "Tang Fang, what's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing, it's just a little strange."

Pushing her little hand away, she looked around, and found that there were no other clues, so she turned around and walked towards the exit of the main hall, and decided to go back to the shuttle to take a good rest. Last night, she didn't sleep because of the arrival of Bai Hao, Nehemiah and others. Well, now is the time to catch up on sleep.

Freya followed behind him, asking as she walked, "What about this necklace? Can I wear it?"

Tang Fang thought about it, took it from her hand and stuffed it into the storage bag of the harsh environment protective clothing, and said: "It's not good to do this, it is disrespectful to the deceased, and it is very unlucky."

She thought to herself that the statue guards were not human, and the Ipsilon might not necessarily die, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it, because she thought it was fine, and Tang Fang would buy her better ones in the future.

…………

Six hours later, the communication system of the Yinyue shuttle issued a short and urgent notification tone. Tang Fang woke up from a deep sleep, checked the content, and found that it was a message from "Cupid", saying that goal 1 was successfully achieved, "Omi The subspace tunnel connecting "Gamma-2" to "Gamma-3" has been repaired, and the dimensional storm is slowly dissipating, and it will be possible to use the dimensional roaming terminal for transmission in about half an hour.

He quickly woke up Freya who was sleeping soundly in his arms, put on the protective clothing, and returned to the main hall the same way.

The refining work on the minerals is still going on, and the "Cupid" and the unmanned engineering vehicle are tirelessly circulating one process after another. According to the news sent by the medical transport plane, the mineral reserves in Behemoth's body have dropped by half, about 5 It will run out in over an hour.

Instructing Emma to carefully monitor the repair progress of the subspace tunnel, he switched on the psychic flame again, waited for the dimensional storm to completely dissipate according to the information fed back from the dimensional lock, and set the teleportation target to the "Gamma-3" " Ashtolando" hall, then walked to the "door" of the dimensional roaming terminal, stared at the light curtain in silence, then summoned a machine gunner, and ordered to walk into the "door".

About 5 minutes later, the screen projected by the psychic flame showed that the transmission had been completed. He tried to contact the machine gunner, but found that there was no response, and the number of units in the Terran base had not decreased, which meant that the machine gunner was still alive and now The location is beyond the limit distance that the interstellar system can sense.

He looked back at Freya and asked, "Are you afraid?"

The girl took his hand, puzzled and said, "Why are you afraid?"

In her inner world, as long as she can hold his hand like this, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Let's go."

He felt that he was not as good as a little girl, so he laughed at himself, put on the mask, stepped up the stairs, and let the faint blue light curtain engulf the two of them one after another. One flower, then lost consciousness.
