People's Federation will live forever

Seeing such a majestic power made her a little crazy. The girl folded her hands on her chest and prayed softly like the black hands: "Praise the true way of peace, and let virtue lead devotees to the battlefield; praise the one who sees the truth." Eyes, which lead us to the glory of the Brotherhood."

However, her prayer was not over yet, another voice came from behind her and continued the content for her.This voice is also a woman, and it is also an equally skilled prayer.

"To this you were called, and you have borne that glorious testimony before many witnesses. Elect, your mission has been made clear, and you shall know the truth, and let your fears pass away, and remember forever— Peace comes from strength."

Anna turned her head, and what she saw was indeed a girl who was about the same age and height as herself.Although the attire has changed, the refugee attire of yesteryear has been replaced by a futuristic skintight white fiber jumpsuit overlaid with a one-piece black plastic uniform.The light blonde long hair that was originally loose was tied into a ponytail. Even though half of her face was covered by the AR goggles, Anna recognized her.

"A...Aisha! Is that you?"

Chapter 34 Ship, what a big ship, it's a spaceship!

"Ugh-"

The Brotherhood's surface ships blew their departure whistles, and the steel giant raised its railgun barrels and slowly sailed into the sea loaded with "cargo"-maybe to the disappointment of Navy fans, because the Brotherhood has no The need to form a standard navy, so Li De can't see the classification of cruisers, destroyers and other warships in the traditional sense. It is only a functional ship for land support.

In Thira, the navies of Wei'an and UIR are almost useless, and the "circus" of the orcs has no ability to get involved in the sea, so Li De has no interest in maintaining the outdated high-cost surface navy.After all, these are not battleships. The real battleships are still in the state of spare parts in the "Space Control Center", waiting to be sent into the sky.But when it did, there was no such thing as a navy anymore.

But right now, in front of these gunboats are a large number of automated small boats. They drop sea-sinking beacons on the sea, and coordinate with the drones hovering in the sky to search the target waters—the floating island fusion experiment platform has already They were all evacuated, and to ensure safety, even the heavy bombers cruising on standby were only hovering around the edge.These black vultures have only one mission, once the situation changes, they will launch the deadliest blow.

When the host computer finally completed the 3D modeling of the seabed based on the wavelength of the sonar feedback map, an irregular rectangular parallelepiped protrusion appeared on the reef-lined seabed, which looked like a seabed mountain range.But it was too short and did not meet the standards of marine geology.

"We found it."

This good thing didn’t make Li De any easier, and soon he ordered the bionic floating detector to get closer to the target—these little torpedo-shaped things turned on the searchlights in the waters below two kilometers and got as close as possible. Passing through the turbid sea water, Li De and Ensig saw a majestic scene, nearly three kilometers long, the highest point can reach 200 meters, but the center is broken into a "submarine wall" of several sections.

Although its surface has already been climbed and nested by sea creatures, and it is covered with seaweed and barnacles, making it impossible to distinguish its original appearance, but it can be easily judged that it is man-made.And it has been sunk on the seabed for too long, and the things that may be used for identification on the object are no longer visible. After the detector used lasers to sweep away the polluted surface, honeycomb-shaped plates actually appeared inside!

Seeing this, Ensig suddenly realized, and immediately shouted: "I understand!"

"Yes, I understand too."

Li De said so by mobilizing 3D drawings to extract the entire modeling, including those broken interfaces and "parts" scattered on the seabed. With his operation, a wide front and narrow rear, which is not in line with hydrodynamics The thing appeared in front of them.

It looked like a square box, but a box of this size was not something the Scyllas could make - especially considering how long it had been sunk here.And more importantly, the hexagonal honeycomb plate found on the surface showed extremely high engineering attainments, even no less than that of the Brotherhood!

In this regard, Ensig applied to call up the unfinished "Kodiak" design drawing of the Brotherhood in the space control center, marking the same honeycomb-shaped armor plate and said in a deep voice: "Equal hexagons are commonly used by spacecraft. The standard structure, the honeycomb type brings space adaptability and structural stability that other cannot have, and the lattice armor adopted by our Kodiak is the same as it in general..."

"If my analysis is correct, this is a spaceship... But what I can't understand is, how does such a huge structure support it from disintegrating due to gravity? And who made it, and why? appear here?"

Ensig was muttering, more and more questions burst into his mind, bothering him, making him both confused and excited, and his strong thirst for knowledge made him almost unable to control himself: "We can't manufacture all our technologies. With such a huge spaceship, it must be a creation of a civilization above level one...it, it is a treasure trove of knowledge! Leader, I beg you, let me send my sub-personality to dive to explore, this is for me It is a great honor!"

"Glory? Of course it is glory, but who can guarantee that this thing is completely dead? It protested to us ten hours ago, and since it is a treasure house, it may also be a trap."

But these words can't stop Ensig, and it just so happens that the two people in the center are both masters who are not afraid of death. If it's a big deal, they will change their bodies. Anyway, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Leaders and scientists reached an agreement in the first place, and the prior arrangements have also been made.On the surface of the sea, the warships that had driven to the central position began to raise their decks, and placed the two tarpaulin-wrapped giants evenly on both sides of the front section with the elevator——the cargo transported from the mainland a few hours ago revealed their true colors , the restraints on the platform were peeled off layer by layer, and the steel limbs stretched out their claws, half stiff and half flexible standing up from the deck.The scarlet one eye opened, but after a few flashes, the light of the one eye turned blue, looking around in a slightly human way.

"I do not know how to praise your vision, my leader."

A holy spirit mecha supported the crane to stabilize itself, shaking a little as if it hadn't walked for a long time.After an urgent transformation, the mech was covered with a layer of thick armor, and there were buoys and propulsion devices at the waist to adjust the posture.Four thick steel cables hang from the back of the mecha, and the long cables are connected to the anchor chain system of the heavy warship, which looks like an enlarged version of a diver.

"When I was thinking about our lack of suitable diving equipment, you have already made comprehensive arrangements, what a genius! The holy spirit mecha has flexible limbs, and the living metal shell can withstand [-] tons of atmospheric pressure, which is used for submerged diving Couldn't be more suitable..."

Looking at Ensig's swaying body, Li De's holy spirit mecha could not help but blink his eyes - he directly transferred his consciousness to the logic matrix of the mech, and Ensig did the "remote agent connection" , In terms of adaptability, he is far behind himself.

"This is not a safe scientific research work, Ensig." Mecha Li De walked to the side of the ship and said through the communication network, "Use your professional knowledge and inspiration to cooperate with me... I have a hunch that this time After that, the world will never be the same again."

Taking one step forward, falling freely with gravity, the 30-ton body jumped into the sea with a plop, splashing waves tens of meters high.The one-eye of the machine shone with light, only to see countless bubbles rise up, and the sunlight gradually drifted away from him.

Falling, falling continuously, darkness enveloped everything around, and the senses on land completely failed.And Li De knows that when falling into the endless abyss, there is no other way but to move forward.

Chapter 35·End this charade

After the front-line soldiers uploaded the location of the enemy target to the early warning processing center through the tactical eyepiece, the analysis result marked a virtual red dot on the terrain map.At the same time, the results of scanning at different battlefields can reach thousands. The small dots represent individual individuals, and the larger ones are clusters of regional operations.The results after comprehensive screening are further sent to the "Werewolf" brigade at the rear, and each missile of each vehicle will receive its own target.

Like gorgeous fireworks flying into the sky, a salvo of werewolf missile vehicles spread a rain of bullets covering the sky. Although the range of the swarm missiles is not long, the firepower of the nearby missiles is much more powerful than that of their fathers' rocket launchers.They fell from the sky like a rain of iron, releasing deadly air-fuel dust across the city of Sylvie, and detonated almost at the same time.

The whirlwind from the explosion raised the temperature in the city to nearly a thousand degrees Celsius. After the cloud bomb consumed the oxygen on the streets, the high-temperature air squeezed into a gust of wind to blow away the smoke after burning.The corpses of orcs have been piled up in piles, and the scorched faces no longer show the once arrogant appearance - no matter how rough their skin is, their vitality is tenacious, and the characteristics of creatures relying on oxygen are all equally fragile.

The heavy solid wheels crushed the stacked corpses. In stark contrast to these orcs, the apostles were traveling on armored vehicles—the fully enclosed shell armor with its own breathing masks allowed them to approach the center of the explosion without fear.Whenever they arrived at a place, they immediately spread out to check the damage effect of the shelling, and occasionally they could hear the firing of supplementary guns and the explosion of tunnel blasting.Blackhand's advance turned the battlefield upside down, the orcs turned from invaders to defenders, and their ground defenses were shattered.

"Attention all units, the orcs have given up surface combat, repeat, the orcs are shrinking their forces to the ground, ready to meet the tunnel attack."

"This is the control center. The seismic scanning waves have found several approaching signals. Please pay attention to your feet."

Immediately following this report, the Annihilator fighter planes once again landed in Sylvie City, but this time they were not here for air defense.After the werewolf brigade took action, it would be difficult to see predatory beasts operating on a large scale, which won a peaceful sky for the black hands.This time the fighter planes were loaded with heavy ammunition with a fierce appearance. When they were dropped, the bombs landed vertically and turned on the engine. The tungsten alloy warheads tore through the concrete floor and soil layer like tofu, and pierced straight into tens of meters. deep underground.

"'Anti-tunnel mines' have been deployed, just wait for them to dig for a while."

It seemed to confirm the pilot's jokes, and soon, the whole city could feel a violent tremor.The glass of the building shattered in the shaking, and the shock wave reached the soles of the apostles along the ground.But this was only the beginning, the rumble of the ground caused one mound after another to bulge up from the straight street, the rounded concrete sphere deformed, cracked, and the high pressure of the mixed "red" soil was ejected along the drilled hole Gas, the scene is quite spectacular.

"war!"

An apostle looked at the unmanned tank running behind him and said with emotion: "If no one dies, it will be a very entertaining game."

But immediately the apostle regretted it, because a familiar voice sounded from his headset: "Fortunately, fate is fair, if it weren't so cruel, we would have had so much fun... You want to say that, don't you, soldier ? Your understanding of war is so superficial?"

"Um, High Templar Miles...sir, I'm just expressing my unwavering determination to win."

"Yes, that's good, I look forward to seeing you do your best for this victory. The 'Incinerator' squad has been deployed, bring your men to support them."

"As ordered!"

I actually slipped my mouth in the public channel!Knowing that the thought after going back was inevitable, the apostle couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. He had no choice but to pick up his particle beam rifle to tell the armored vehicle to change direction, and he and his comrades followed the vehicle to form a marching formation.

Suddenly, with the shaking of the ground, the armored vehicle in front suddenly fell into a deep pit three or four meters deep. The sudden change caught the soldiers off guard and quickly retreated——

"gollum"

The low growls of wild beasts came from the collapsed city energy pipeline, and the apostles recognized the monster crawling out of the pipeline at a glance—it was hard labor, but it was a little different. These little four-legged creatures were shining brightly. There is also a large tumor on the back. Although it is only at first sight, it feels much worse than the orc.

These small things quickly climbed onto the fallen armored vehicle, and the apostles immediately fired, and the particle beam penetrated the monster's body without hindrance, and the high-temperature ionization caused also blasted the tumor on the back, and yellow-orange-orange liquids flowed out of it. Im Energy.

"No, get down!"

Just like detonating an aerial bomb, the flames of the explosion illuminated the entire city and brought different changes to the battle situation.

But all this is not yet known to Li De who dived into the bottom of the sea.

Let's take our eyes off reality and discuss history.Just like Li De's question when he first came to this world - Scylla, as a planet with a short history and primitive biological evolution, it is impossible to evolve a high-level intelligent species like human beings.The animals and plants on this planet tend to become gigantic, and the oxygen content is 0.3 percentage points higher than that on the earth, which is only barely enough to maintain human vital signs.

Don't you see that the height of Marcus and his party is almost 1.9 meters, which is comparable to that of an orangutan?There are a small number of large men on the old earth, here is the average size of adult males, but their DNA is almost the same as that of the earth people, and there is no reproductive isolation. How can this be explained?

The only explanation is that this group of people passively adapted to the ecology of Sira. As Li De guessed, the ancestors of the Sira natives were outsiders.

Now, the ship that fell under the Brotherhood's nose is a straightforward proof of that conjecture.

"Scanning seafloor sedimentary rocks...results are in line with estimates."

The host said the result without emotion—"It has cooperated with the geological monitoring data of the archipelago, and its surface signs are similar to those of the Chicxuleb Meteor Crater in the Yucatan Peninsula. The 4000-square-kilometer island sinks due to the impact. The system has established an impact model, and when the disaster occurs, the energy released can reach ** trillion tons of TNT."

"No, no, this result is meaningless."

The Ensig Holy Spirit mecha stood on this magnificent giant spaceship, and the pressurized buoys helped him maintain his balance, while he fired a shot at the ship's board with the sound wave of his right hand, blowing away the attached protozoa.

"A giant two-kilometer ship that fell from orbit would have the potential to destroy an entire continent, but it didn't until we found it now.

This can only prove one thing, that is, when the spaceship fell, it was still doing its best to slow down, and the impact did not destroy the hull, indicating that there may be a shield instead of the impact, just like the Scrin mothership! "

But Li De was thinking about another thing—"Ensig, you didn't trigger the defense when you attacked the hull of the ship with the sonic cannon, and we haven't detected any energy response until now, right?"

"Yes, leader, it means that the ship has long been scrapped, and the risk has been reduced by ten percentage points."

"But that's not the case with the movement nine hours ago. It was obviously a sign of the ship starting—or signaling..."

Li De paused, then continued: "Can we go in?"

"It's high-density nano-alloy armor, leader. The Holy Spirit's laser cutting on it is no more effective than a laser pointer. Only this spaceship can resist the erosion of seawater for thousands of years..." Ensig used sound waves to clean up the ship in a large area He said distressedly, "Either use a nuclear bomb to explode it, or look for a crack... I am afraid that the thickness of the ship's armor will not be effective with a single nuclear bomb. The same nano-level weapon must be used to destroy the molecular link to open this iron coffin. "

"Nano..." Our leader lost his mind for a moment, and Ensger reminded him that he seemed to have a nano-level weapon on hand. What is it called?Is it fate?

But before he could make a decision, Ensig suddenly made a discovery—"Leader, I found something on the cleared deck, something that can be used to judge the identity, like the ship's hull number, but It's a mosaic of discolored armor plates so it hasn't corroded..."

When the picture was transmitted to Li De, our leader seemed to be a little lost.

"U·N, is there anything else that hasn't been cleaned up?"

Immediately, a bomb was sunk from the ship on the surface, its fuze set to low power - and as a surge of shock spread, the churning tide swept across the deck Although the muddy sand and turbid sea water made the vision very bad, they still cleared the obstacles of the text for the two of them.

The searchlight of the Holy Spirit swept over the immortal pattern that has gone through thousands of years. Although it was blurry, a purple flower and a large character composed of three letters could be vaguely seen.

"It's English...U·N·E." Ensger was surprised, "Why are they all in English? They are all written in our earth and not in alien languages? Although this can explain the problem of the Sira people speaking English, but ...why is there a...hyacinth?"

"Hyacinth is probably the name of the ship," Li De took the words, and the leader of the fraternity strode to the side of the hull. From a mark in the middle of the text, he found what he wanted to find, an "olive branch" Wrapped Blue Planet" emblem.

"It's not surprising, Ensig, I think I already know why, let's end this charade."

"My subordinates are all ears."

In the network communication, Li De sighed, pointed to the emblem and said, "Because, we may have encountered a second Earth."

"!?"

"U·N·E, full name UnitedNations OF Earth, means...

United Nations of Earth! "

Chapter 36 Zero Number

Human beings have always looked up to the sky, longing for the guidance of the stars.

But now, the stars have responded.

But is all this a blessing or a curse?

All these problems troubled Li De, and a spaceship "Hyacinth" appeared in front of him, which had been sleeping for 4000 years, and it conveyed two messages to him.First, the humans in Sira are indeed from aliens, and they are also of the same origin as the people under them. Many doubts have been solved for this. Based on this, the political costs can be minimized when integrating the Sira natives in the future.

Second, I am not the first one with the ability to travel across time and space. If possible, I will encounter this "United Nations of Earth".

Why did the power of the stars appear on Scylla?I managed to escape from the Tiberium Earth, but what happened to another Earth?Isn't it a simple journey through a universe with problems and more than one Earth?

But this is not the point, the stars... If I remember correctly, in the plot, the United Nations of the Earth launched four "colonial ships" based on wormhole technology in the 22nd century. As a result, in addition to establishing the "Human Federation" The Cornflower, the Hyacinth, is nothing more than a dead ship in orbit around a star.

Now, Hyacinth actually succeeded?Its passengers established a civilization in Thira, and fell into a war with the orcs...Compared to the discovery of Hyacinth, he just wanted to establish a political body called "Federation"?

This is crazy.

"It turns out that I was wrong from the beginning."

Li De's spirit muttered to himself in the frenzy of the quantum matrix, and behind him was an eternal "sane" watchman—faced by ignoring his own body, the black and white figure spoke:

"Setting up a stronghold, and doing an in-depth environmental scan - as long as you follow the standard procedures, it is not difficult to find this lost ship, but it is your failure to wait until after the incident to realize it later."

"Oh?"

Li De turned around and looked at himself in front of him, but the watchman was indifferent, it didn't care about the pressure Li De put on it: "It's just stating the facts."

"Failure? I don't care where your judgment comes from, Watcher, I have always followed the best plan, and until now, except for this, I think I have done pretty well."

Maximize the expansion of power, minimize the loss of control, hold all the steps in your own hands, coordinate the internal operations of the brotherhood up and down, and win the external battles - you are doing nothing when Li De does not appear in these dozens of chapters Well, infrastructure, scientific research, military and civil affairs, is it always more important to unite internally than to fight externally?

But the two "people" are no longer children. Although they bicker, they can't do the low-level behavior of throwing blame, and soon they turned to solving the problem.But in other words, what Li De is worried about is also what the whole-hearted watcher is worried about——

"This universe, there is a problem!"

Watchman said that it mercilessly criticized Li De's empiricism: "Ontology, your understanding of the behavior of time travel is only in the novel and ACG culture, and it does not take into account that this is a scientific issue. It is simply understood as time travel When I came to the world of "Gears of War", I thought that I could rely on technological advantages to suppress the indigenous people. I didn't study the nature of the world—we came to a universe, not the world of Nikki magic. Since it is a universe, there are infinite possibilities. Right now Possibilities unfold."

"You should be glad that this only involves the stars, rather than a more cruel worldview. For example, Warhammer? Halo? Traveling is not luck, but walking by the abyss. If there is a slight difference, you and I will be lost forever."

Li De had a stomachache, and quickly waved his hands: "Okay, okay, don't use these topics to expose the nature of my dead house in the past, I was too careless, I admit this... But no matter what the reason is, the most important thing right now The main thing is to control this spaceship, and we lack a tool, I came to ask you for help, I guess, don’t need me to explain, are you ready?”

This is a conversation that will not be known to others. Li De and the watcher, the two hearts of sensibility and rationality, have a debate in their minds. This is related to the future of the Brotherhood of the Eye of Truth.Regarding the review of the past and the plan for the future, the two "people" reached a consensus subtly.

Although I don't know if this is a universe mixed with the worldview of the stars, but 4000 years is enough for the inevitable existence of the United Nations of Earth to develop into a terrifying space overlord. go all out.

And this preparation is the only weapon that the Brotherhood has the hope of breaking through the "nano armor" of the spaceship - the "Number Zero" experimental body.

---

Twelve hours after the deep sea exploration, the tight blockade is still in progress in the offshore of the Blue Eye Islands.The battleships opened their gun doors and silos, drones filled the sky, and some black-handed templars and operatives of the Secret Service of the Defense Forces have not closed their eyes for 12 hours, even though they don't even know what their tasks are. Don't know, but it doesn't prevent everyone from fighting high in front of their leader.

According to Li De's arrangement, this series of events was classified as confidential, and the relevant reports were only sent to the four members of the Supreme Council.Wu Wei, who was excluded from performing missions in the open sea, also ran into trouble. General Olivia from the direction of Jia Xintu had already rushed to the archipelago by transport plane, and entrusted the entire battle situation to the high-level temple Miles.
