Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 25 The choice of fate

Watching the crowd gradually disperse, Raphael's expression flashed with worry, and he slightly bowed to Casares and asked: "My lord, I am still deeply disturbed by this operation, and the traces of the source of evil have also been revealed. Even if the captain of the guard goes there in person, it is still unknown what is going on there, whether to ask the empire for instructions..."

Casares's expression remained unchanged: "Raphael, God has also imposed restrictions on the blasphemers. Huaguo is stable and powerful, and they dare not smuggle in on a large scale. But since they have traveled a long way regardless of the danger Come, this sinful place must have something they desperately want, and the light of God will bless us... It is too late to ask the empire, we must not tolerate the blasphemers getting what they want! Any of their plots must be thwarted, here, maybe there really is something that the emperor wants..."

Rafael trembled slightly. He is the only one here who knows what Casares said. 300 years ago, because it set off a bloody storm in the universe, he just cheered into the peaceful world and has not enjoyed a moment of tenderness. , and fell into a 5-year melee.

Xiang Zhe, a great thinker at the time, said sadly: "Victory does not bring the dawn of dawn in the darkness, but blows the clarion call for mankind to step into an even darker world!"

……

"No! Absolutely not!" Old Han roared in a low voice, "I absolutely disagree with this matter!"

In the room, the flow of air seemed to be at a standstill.

Just because Xiao Cheng said that he wanted to drive the shuttle to explore it alone!
"Xiao Chengcheng must be crazy!" Xiaodie nodded with her big eyes blinking.

"To go there, Lao Han and I are the most suitable candidates!" Bald Dragon waved his arms, "We are all soldiers who have participated in various battles! No matter what dangers arise, we can deal with them!"

"That's right! Xiaocheng, you are our hope to develop our own battle starship in Jueyu, we can't afford any mistakes!" Brother Wu also shook his head, "There is also Nan Xin, and the old man—— They have been looking forward to you for four full years! Don't be willful!"

"I... know..." Xiao Cheng knew that everyone would object like this, "but..."

"Xiao Cheng, if you go, I will go with you too!" Nan Xin held his hand tightly, her eyes were firm and determined.

"If you want to go, you can only go alone. There is only one shuttle equipped with simple protective armor and small detectors on the Yinlong. How can I rest assured that you are a girl?" Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice.

Then his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and he said: "Behind this space-time gate, there may be a complete research and construction base of the Odin God Kingdom starship, which is in line with the major I have been studying for these years, perhaps it is the arrangement of fate, Regardless of any starship-related information or clues found in it, only I understand the value of it, and everyone here can no longer be more suitable than me to explore these secrets!"

"What's more!" Xiao Cheng stopped the bald dragon who was about to speak, "The news of this relic will soon spread throughout the universe, and Hua Guo officials will definitely send troops to go here. After I finish exploring, I can wash it off completely. Get rid of all doubts! What about the rest of you! A shuttle comes out, can you escape the pursuit of the Chinese military?! It's Nan Xin—”

Xiao Cheng paused, "Isn't he also listed as a super wanted criminal because of illegally invading the Huaguo government's network to steal data many times! Do you want to let the old man go?! Or let Xiaodie go?!"

"I'm not Xiao..." Xiao Cheng slammed back Xiao Die's last words.

Xiao Cheng's words silenced everyone for an instant, and they couldn't refute.

"Only by entering, can we know what the Odin Kingdom is doing! No matter from which angle, this exploration mission is imperative! And I am the best candidate for this operation!"

After speaking in one breath, Xiao Cheng's face was a little red and swollen because of the excitement, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The limit speed of the shuttle, I think in the wormhole space, no one can chase me, but don’t forget, I won two starship racing championships in Jueyu back then! That’s four years In college, this technology is not unfamiliar!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Cheng looked firmly at the old man: "Grandpa, please allow me to carry out this operation! I have grown up! Only with more experience can I learn more things!"

"Xiao Cheng..." Nan Xin held Xiao Cheng's hands tightly and trembled more and more.

Xiao Cheng embraced her in front of his chest: "Don't worry, maybe I will come out in a few hours, even if there is any danger, I can't run away! Believe me! I promised you, and I will be with you Go back!"

"I...I believe in you..." Nan Xin's voice was almost inaudible but extremely firm, "I must come back! I'll wait for you!"

"Well! Definitely!"

"Cough cough!" The bald dragon coughed a few times, "We haven't agreed yet! This girl really won't be with her family when she grows up!"

"Uncle Long! Am I not from my family?" Xiao Cheng glared at him immediately. Nan Xin had sensed something was wrong and broke away from Xiao Cheng's embrace, but she still refused to let go of her tightly clenched hands.

"Go!" The old man slammed his cane on the ground, "My Mu Chengfeng's grandson should have this responsibility! I agree to this matter!"

The old man agreed, and Xiao Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Although the worry in the eyes of the others remained unchanged, they no longer objected.

"Grandpa, I promise to complete the task!" Xiao Cheng stood upright and saluted him as a soldier.

"Pfft~haha! Xiao Chengcheng looks pretty good this time!" After all, Xiaodie is still young, although she feels the solemn atmosphere and the difficulty of the task, she still can't truly appreciate the danger involved.

But the silver bell-like laughter still infected everyone, and the atmosphere finally relaxed a little.

"Xiao Chengcheng, since you insist on going, Lao Han and I still have to explain something to you..."

Space Hotel, in the public hall.

Of the eight expedition teams, five wisely chose to explore the outside, and only two expedition teams each sent one person to participate in the exploration of the wormhole. Xiao Cheng and the others naturally indicated that Xiao Cheng would go to the wormhole to explore alone.

Obviously, even Casares showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't express anything.

The two people who participated in the exploration of the Ellens were Hu Lai, a retired soldier from the "Beast", and Wu Ming, a professional mecha master from the "Deepth", and they were following Gonzarol. "Fernan II" to adapt to the mecha.

Due to its own structure and other reasons, the armed mecha cannot be equipped with a miniature jump engine, and its speed is far lower than that of a fighter plane, so it can only perform conventional maneuvers. Generally, it is only used to attack the opponent's starship from the outside when the starships are in hand-to-hand combat. Assault missions, or planetary ground battlefield operations, are more used by civilians for planetary development, exploration and production tasks.

At this time, Xiao Cheng was in the Yinlong, adapting to the modified shuttle.The shuttle is the most common means of transportation for a single person to travel between short and medium distances in the interstellar era. It is popular because of its mature technology, low cost, and high safety factor. The mass of the hull is too heavy, so it loses the possibility of adding too much external armor, and in order to maintain a stable output of energy to the engine at any time, so only the minimum level of energy shield is maintained to protect the ship from space micrometeorites and so on the infringement of tiny objects.

However, this shuttle naturally cannot be compared with the ordinary civilian shuttles on the market. It was refitted on the basis of the previous generation of military shuttles in Huaguo. , and installed a small space detector at the front end, which can detect all unnatural energy reactions within the range of 1AU, and analyze the energy source and direction. There are two small laser cannons with 5mm crystals hidden in the lower abdomen—this is A crystal laser cannon of this size can't even break the frigate's outer shield, but it's better than nothing.

The cockpit of this shuttle also needs to be driven lying down, but the comfort experience is better. The unfolded holographic light screen can change its position correspondingly with the shaking of the driver's head, instead of the previous fixed light screen.However, the general control method made him quickly familiar with the various functions of this shuttle, and then connected to the communication channel with the Yinlong.

"This shuttle feels great!" Xiao Cheng said to everyone.

"Of course, Lao Qi bought it from a smuggler a few years ago. He has always regarded it as a treasure, and even found someone to modify it. I am reluctant to drive it a few times. This time, the old man led the team out personally. , this guy reluctantly contributed, haha." The voice of the bald dragon came first.

"What's wrong over there, even if you give up the mission, you have to return quickly! Xiao Chengcheng!" Lao Han said eagerly.
