"Hey, why is it, could it be..." Grant, Nehemiah and others may have seen this warship of an unknown civilization for the first time, but Tang Fang was not.

Judging from the spar structure of the ship's skin and the trident-shaped bow, this is clearly the Yip named Liana that he saw when the Ypsilon shuttle crashed into Crotan and his consciousness was silent. In the memoirs of the West Dragon Girl, the trident star-burst warship roared through the air.

Judging from the situation at the time, Liana, including her father, showed a fearful expression towards the starship. Could it be that the race of the Trident battleship is in a hostile relationship with the Yipxi dragon clan?

The scene in front of me seems to indirectly confirm this point. Judging from the wreckage of the Trident Starburst battleship, it was definitely destroyed by something.

The "Lost Land" is very likely to be reduced to a barren land because of the war.

"Tang Fang...Tang Fang, what should I do next?"

Grant's voice woke him up from his contemplation, he pondered for a while, and casually touched the dilapidated relay station: "Go to the relay station first, and hope to find out something from it."

"Okay." Grant nodded, rushed down and said, "Pilot crew, head to the Ypsilon relay station." After saying that, he ordered Yuffie: "Tell the logistics department to get the shuttle ready."

...

About 20 minutes later, the small engineering boat cleared a passage, and the shuttle carrying Tang Fang, Freya, and Tang Lin flew out of the hangar and slowly headed for the relay station.

This time, Tang Fang brought all the elites. Considering what happened at the zero isotope refining factory on Nami Star and the Mejiaer relay station, he didn't dare to take any more risks. God knows if there will be stronger epic creatures lurking in the relay station in front of him.

Driving forward at a low speed, about 5 minutes later, the shuttle landed on a platform at the relay station. Tang Fang, Freya, and Tang Lin got off the shuttle one after another.

Adjusted the electronic eyes of the harsh protective suit to "thermal vision" mode. Looking far and wide, I scanned the surrounding environment, and found that there was no black cocoon on the surface of the Megar relay station, only some uneven scratches, and dust left by small rocks hitting the outer wall.

The zero element fluid in the energy tank is rarer than that in the Megar relay station, and the dim streamer can only be seen when it is very close. The relay station in front of him not only has no shield. Even the gravity compensation system is out of service.

Only by relying on the inherent artificial gravity components of harsh protective suits.

No wonder, no wonder when I was in the Megall star system before, I sent a connection request with a relay station device, and only received a reply message half an hour later. The relay station of the "Lost Land" suffered such heavy damage, and it is extremely rare to be able to operate.

"Brother... nothing abnormal was found." Tang Lin put away the multi-function detector, pointed to a direction on the left hand side and said, "According to the drone aerial picture sent by Grant, the nearest entrance to the ruins is about 10 kilometers ahead. "

"Okay." Tang Fang nodded and turned to look at Freya. The girl was staring blankly at the large and small warships and building wreckage floating in the void in the distance, with a trace of sadness on her face.

Sometimes it is like this, no matter how powerful a civilization is, compared to the long river of history, it is just a small crucian carp crossing the river, at most it will be a few splashes and ripples.

Today's human beings can be described as high-spirited and full of pride. But...how long it can exist, who knows.

"Don't look. Let's go." Tang Fang patted her on the shoulder.

"En." Freya nodded, snuggled into Tang Fang's arms, and walked forward step by step.

About half an hour later, the three of them cautiously came to the entrance of the ruins indicated by the aerial photo. Until then, Tang Fang finally confirmed that the relay station in front of him was clean. It is not parasitized by creatures that feed on zero vegetarians like the mushroom monster.

In the same way as before entering the ruins, stretch out your palm and press the scanning device next to the door. As the epsilon rune lights up, the door leaf opens downward, and the three of them walk in one by one.

Overall. Although the "Lost Land" relay station is larger in size, its internal structure has not changed much compared to the Megar relay station. It is nothing more than a few more hangars and a larger and more magnificent star port.

However, there are no large battleships or frigates like the "Sea Witch" in the star port at this time, only some small cargo ships and silver moon shuttles. Thinking about it, it's no wonder that the fighting outside is in full swing, so how could the warships berthing in the relay station not come to support.

"Tang Lin, go to the D area of ​​the outer ring to check the damage of the ruins. I'll go to the central control room." Tang Fang ordered, and then asked Emma to send the structural diagram of the Meijiaer relay station: "This is Meijia. Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the Er relay station, compare which modules are damaged, and then notify me."

"Remember, if you encounter any abnormalities on the road, immediately activate the stealth mode to retreat, and don't be impulsive."

"Understood, brother." Tang Lin agreed, followed the instructions of the navigator, turned around and walked towards the damaged area under the relay station.

Tang Fang greeted Freya, and went straight to the central control room of the inner ring.

Similar to the Meijiaer relay station, a huge crystal is suspended in the central control room, below which is a golden spiritual flame. The only difference is that the former is vigorous, while the latter is sluggish, like a candle in the wind that may go out at any time.

After telling Freya later, Tang Fang stepped onto the central platform and stretched out his hand. Threads of light protruded from the center of the flame, gently attached to the back of the hand, the golden rune on the top of the head lit up, and countless information poured into Tang Fang's mind.

After about two or three minutes, he let out a long breath and disconnected from the spiritual flame. This time, no Protoss technology was unlocked. Tang Fang was not surprised by this. After all, the functions and structures of the two relay stations are very similar.

However, it is not without gains. There is a star map stored in the psychic flame database, a star map of the "Lost Land". The starports, energy bases, residential areas, mineral smelters, documentation centers, scientific research institutes, etc. built by the Yipsilong people in this area are all marked. With this map, do you have to worry about refreshing the technology tree?

Before the excitement lasted even a single breath, it was extinguished by a basin of cold water. Indeed, the star map is very detailed, to the point of giving the interstellar coordinates of each building, which is no less than lighting up the lighthouse for the lost ship. But the point is that the "Lost Land" in the star map is what it looked like before it was "lost", and the "Lost Land" today has become a dead zone. Star Cemetery. Not to mention high-tech buildings such as Starport and Documentation Center, even planets and even star systems are torn apart by the huge tidal force of the "Eye of the Storm". Even if some relics can be preserved intact, where can they be found? No one knows where they will drift under the action of various forces during the formation of a celestial system like the "Lost Land".

This star map may seem precious, but in fact it is plain. Just tm a piece of waste paper, it hurts my eyes when I wipe my buttocks.

"Alas", Tang Fang sighed, he had great hopes before coming here, but he didn't expect such a result. The "Lost Land" is unable to sail at warp speed due to unknown reasons. If you only rely on the plasma engine of the Morning Star, do you want to fly out of this dead zone? It was nothing short of a dream.

Could it be that he was forced to return to Megar, or to go to another country to detour to Tiannest star area? It will take several months to come and go.

Over there, Freya saw him smiling for a while, and frowning for a while. Can't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong?"

Tang Fang looked up at her, forced a smile, and explained briefly. Freya thought about it seriously, and said solemnly: "Since the speed of the Morning Star is slow, why not change to a spaceship?"

"Change a spaceship?" Tang Fang was taken aback.

"That's right, change to a faster one." Freya was as naive as an 8-year-old girl wondering who is faster and who is slower between Hot Wheels and Somersault Cloud.

"Eh, yes, why didn't I think of that." Tang Fang patted his forehead. I blame myself for thinking too one-sidedly. Equipped with the "Zero Element Particle Space Effect Field Generator", the Morning Star is very fast in interstellar travel, and its curvature of 9.9999 not only surpasses that of human warships. Not even the Ypsilon shuttle is as fast.

True, it is a marathon champion, but it is by no means a short-track speed skater. Because the "Lost Land" cannot sail at warp speed, his thinking has entered a logical circle, thinking that whether it is the Epsilon shuttle or the Morning Star. Everyone is the same, just like a hawk with its wings cut off.

Like traveling in a star system, generally speaking, the distance between the origin and the destination is at least tens of millions of kilometers, such as Bruno and Rector in the Megal star system. At the great opposition, the distance between the two planets is the closest, about 70 million kilometers, and it takes about 4 minutes to travel from Budiras military port to Silbero military port at the speed of light.

With the power system of today's human warships, without using warp speed to sail, the thrust generated in a short period of time by relying solely on the acceleration of the plasma system of the ship's hull, not to mention the sub-light speed, can't even reach one thousandth of the speed of light It is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on conventional nuclear power engines for short-range space travel. As for zero-element propulsion? Only a fool would do that.

Therefore, whether it is a long-distance voyage across the star system or a short-distance voyage within the system, most of the spaceships adopt the navigation mode of warp speed navigation. The only difference is the curvature. The aircraft will fly through the space in a certain area by conventional cruising.

Under such a general background, when talking about the speed of a spacecraft, most people naturally think of the maximum curvature that the warp engine can support, thus ignoring the specific impulse of the conventional nuclear power engine.

The same was true for Tang Fang, until Freya's childish words woke him up. It is impossible for human ships to achieve ultra-high speeds in a short period of time even if they use a hybrid power system with zero-element propulsion and plasma propulsion in parallel. Naturally, this is not the case for the Epsilon ship. When fleeing from Nami Star, the Silver Moon Shuttle, in addition to its warp speed jump capability of up to 9.99, in terms of conventional zero-element propulsion, as long as the energy can keep up, the flying speed within an hour It can be accelerated from rest to 1/15th of the speed of light.

What concept is this? Take the Megal star system as an example, from the fourth planet Rector to the eighth planet Terminus, it doesn't take long, it only takes two or three hours to reach.

It is true that this speed is still not enough to fly out of the "Lost Land", but it gave Tang Fang a chance to explore the Omega-2 star system.

Under the action of the "Eye of the Storm" tidal force, the trajectory of the planet to which Omega-2 belongs is elongated, distorted, and turned into a rugby ball shape. The distance between the remaining three planets is very large. Don't think about it for ten days. If it is replaced by the Yinyue shuttle, it will be fast, and you can make a round trip within 24 hours.

As the relay station is an unmanned facility, there is no important information, which does not mean that there are no other relics, whether to return to find another way, or to find other ways to leave. It won't be too late after exploring Omega-2.

"Freya, thanks to you this time."

"Hehe." Freya smiled unnaturally, her pupils flickered a little red.

Tang Fang didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly approached her, grabbed her hand, and controlled the electronic sea between eyebrows to spin faster. The reason why he brought Freya. Just considering the current environment, he was afraid that the girl would run away violently when he left the Morningstar. Claire, Roy and the others alone can't bring her down, and the Morning Star may be played badly by her. At that time, the back road was cut off, and he had no place to cry.

In desperation, just came with Freya. As he expected, in a harsh environment like Omega-2, the free radiation energy in the void is too strong, so that the girl has accumulated a large amount of electrical energy in a short period of time. Walking on the brink of explosion.

"Bah..." The violent electric energy was affected by the sea of ​​rotating electrons, and poured into Tang Fang's body like a flood.

The crimson in Freya's eyes receded slowly, and she finally fell into his arms with a "sigh".

"Brother, I have arrived at the target area." At this moment, Tang Lin's voice came from the communicator.

"How's the situation?" Tang Fang laid Freya on the ground casually and asked for details.

"It seems that the nuclear power transmission network is faulty, the gravity compensation module is also damaged, and a zero-element pipeline in the outer ring area is broken, causing serious energy leakage. As for the rudder stock below, analyze it according to the structural diagram of the ruins. It should be Even if the ship repair dock is damaged, it will not have much impact on the relay station."

"Well, it's similar to the information I got from the control center." Tang Fang nodded: "By the way, there is no danger on the road, right?"

"Everything is normal." Tang Lin said with a smile: "Brother, you were clearly bitten by a snake once. You have been afraid of well ropes for ten years."

"You boy." Tang Fang snorted coldly: "Whenever you see a big guy like a giant snake or a one-eyed monster, you will know if I am alarmist."

"Okay, okay, my dear brother. What shall we do next?"

"Snap a few pictures of the damaged parts for me."

"alright, please wait."

After about 5 minutes. More than a dozen pictures appeared in the helmet window in succession. At the same time, Tang Lin's voice came from the communicator again: "How is it? Have you received it?"

"OK." Tang Fang walked towards the psychic flame while browsing the snapshot of the damaged area: "Notify Grant and others to prepare for entering the port."

After disconnecting the communication line, he first opened a major star port in the outer ring area, then compared the photos of the damaged parts captured by Tang Lin, counted the building materials in stock, and turned his attention to the system space.

"Emma, ​​how is it? With the relay station's own building materials, can it carry out the repair work?"

"Commander, there are many gaps between human technology and Ypsilon civilization. Systematic defects such as repair docks and gravity compensation modules, unless the corresponding technology tree is obtained, it is difficult to carry out comprehensive repair operations. However, such as nuclear power transmission There should be no major problems with the repair work of the net and zero element pipelines."

"That's enough." After listening to her report, Tang Fang smiled. Since the monitoring device at the damaged site was scrapped, the degree of damage to the building could not be visually confirmed in the central control room, and the general situation could only be learned from the damage control system.

Combining the images captured by Tang Lin and the remaining building materials in the warehouse of the relay station, Emma's answer made him heave a sigh of relief. When he was in contact with the psychic flame before, he paid special attention to the shield system and the zero element stock.

In terms of shields, the report from the damage control program stated that the core energy supply of the system was insufficient, presumably because the nuclear power energy transmission network failed, which caused the shield system to go offline.

On the other hand, the stock of zero elements in the relay station has dropped to freezing point. After supporting the morning star to complete the hyperwarp transition, the total amount of zero elements in the inventory has dropped to 0.9 tons, and it is still losing at an extremely slow rate. Based on the information reported by Tang Lin, it should be caused by the rupture of the zero element pipeline in the damaged area.

Perhaps a relay station like this is just a transportation hub in the eyes of the Yipsi dragons, not an important facility, but to Tang Fang, it is not only a military fortress, a fast interstellar travel node, but also a gateway to technological mineral deposits. Might and Magic. Especially the relay station in the "Lost Land", absolutely no loss is allowed.

Even if it can only focus on Omega-2, those wrecks of warships and ruins of buildings still have high scientific research value.

The environment of the "Lost Land" is very unstable. One day, the "Chaos" star at the foot of the relay station will be torn apart and explode like a super nuclear bomb. There are also those asteroids wandering on the edge of the star system, God knows if they will hit the relay station one day in the future.

A simple one or two yuan may be nothing, but if thousands of yuan come together, the relay station without a shield will never be safe and sound. Therefore, we must restore the ruins as much as possible, activate the shield system of the relay station, and make it our own back garden, and explore the cutting-edge springboard of Ipsilon technology.

Summoned all of them casually, divided them into three groups, and then summoned some machine gunners and fanatics as auxiliary construction workers, and told them to perform their duties according to the plan. Then, Tang Fang turned his attention to the crystal above the spiritual flame. , watching the Morningstar slowly berth into the spaceport opened in the outer ring area.

According to the maintenance plan drawn up by Emma, ​​the simple repair work will take 5 days, and if the work of repairing the outer wall of the relay station is added, it will take half a month anyway.

It will take more than 20 days to come and go, why not explore the omega-2 during this time to see if you can find something valuable. (To be continued...) R12 )
