After Lu Ning sent the relevant information, she tried calling BW-009 and AL-003, but unfortunately there was no reply. Maybe she was busy with the team and the outpost like before.
Soon, she obtained the template sent by NE-002. This kind of thing does not belong to conventional weapons. NE-002 could get it either because she applied for it in advance or because she had relevant knowledge. Lu Ning transferred the information to his terminal, and then set off to find the dragon vein.
At dusk, the sun is setting. It's a pity that the blue giant star's light is very strong, so you can't see anything like sunset. There is an obvious gradient of light and dark in the sky, but the auxiliary star seems to have appeared earlier.
This is also normal. The revolution period of Celestial Eye One is not exactly the same as the rotation period of Phantom Star. There will be some changes every day. Maybe in the first half of the year, you will be able to see this star hanging in the sky during the day. If you are eager for quick success, It can be seen now that it flies directly to the other hemisphere.
Longmai and Leiwang are working together on the final inspection of the satellite launcher. It can be seen that the overall structure has been completed, and now they are just calculating data and calibration.
"team leader."
"Dragon Vein, I have two templates here."
"Oh... is it for construction? You can give instructions directly through the construction robot, and you generally won't encounter any problems in construction."
"No, I want you to help me take a look first. I don't know much about this." Lu Ning passed the template over, "I need all the specifications, types and effects."
Dragon Vein Bar handed over the work in hand to Lei Wang. He opened another computer and received the template, but he was stunned for a moment after loading it.
"Environmental modification weapons?"
"how?"
"Would it be too much?"
"I thought so at first, but if I think about it carefully, since B-class fantasy beasts exist, the environmental conditions are of little value to us. Anyway, the outpost can operate in any environment, so it might as well be..."
Longmai tapped the keyboard twice and zoomed in on the model to study it.
"Captain, I suggest installing a tundra injector. This tidal tearing device is a bit difficult to control and requires more parameters. I can't estimate the consequences of installing it on the Phantom Star."
The so-called tidal tearing device will first soften the geological structure of the target area, and then adjust the tidal interaction between stars through a gravity generator. The final result is to directly tear the target location and the approximately three kilometers deep underground part out of the planet. outside, thrown into space.
The tundra injector is slightly gentler. It continuously injects and spreads frozen soil condensation into the ground. Through the cold and hardened soil, it in turn kills all living things that depend on this land for survival. However, the impact on life of pure ground activities is It's just that the climate is a bit colder, so it's quite a special offensive weapon.
I used to joke that I couldn’t move a mountain, but now I can.
"Captain, the person who gave you this thing is not an ordinary person. Habitable planets are treasures in every alliance. Even if the Phantom Star has many mysteries, these weapons will be easily scrapped once used."
"Is there anything wrong with the weapon itself?"
"There is nothing wrong with it at a glance, but if you ask me to look for details, I will have to look for two days to confirm." Longmai clicked his tongue, "Your military is still more ruthless. I used to only think that the orbital fleet has this kind of destructive power, no Thinking about the Army landing on the ground, it’s almost the same.”
"We don't need it at ordinary times." Lu Ning waved her hand, "How is the situation of the thunder net?"
"He was a researcher before, and he worked with a guy I knew. His knowledge level is not bad, and his research on mechanical programming and quantum science is better than mine, but he is a little timid."
"I...I just don't think I'm that courageous." Lei Wang turned his head, "Everyone thinks they can adapt before they really see that kind of battle, but only after they see it can they understand."
"I'm not blaming you." Longmai laughed, "There are countless branches in academia, not to mention the battlefield? People always have things they are good at and things they are not good at. Instead of fighting head-on, you might as well help me make some long-range high-destruction weapons. , it’s always better not to have to go to the battlefield in person.”
"That's it. We hardly need you to fight here. Lei Wang, take care of the needle veins by the way. With you here, I can also ask the dragon veins to follow me to carry out other research work. I welcome your arrival."
"...Captain, let me ask you something." Lei Wang thought for a while and then said, "About the Phantom Star virus that was publicly released before... Are we okay?"
"According to the latest information, you are fine. Although we do not yet have key information about the origin and transmission route of the virus, we at least know what the sick person looks like, and you have not yet developed similar symptoms."
"Ha...it's still an uneasy answer." Lei Wang felt helpless.
"The answer to give you peace of mind is to deceive you. Doing so will only cause trouble in the future. I think you are much more awake and should be able to accept this."
"To be honest, fighting head-on is more terrifying than the illusory virus." Lei Wang shrugged, "Thank you for telling me this. I wish you good luck in your work, captain."
Lu Ning nodded, stepped onto the spacecraft, and began to access the shared signal input module through the dragon vein. The area required for both weapons is quite large. To build in this kind of mountainous area, you have to find a flat place. She clicked on the map to find a suitable location. When she zoomed in and out, she suddenly felt a slight sway under her feet.
"Um?"
"Captain, it's an earthquake. We don't have a global earthquake monitoring network, but we can sense the direction and estimate the magnitude." Dragon Vein quickly explained in the team's voice, "There is no problem with the satellite launcher. The vibrations we encountered here are very small."
Lu Ning cut into the world map of the outpost and replied: "Everyone continues the work at hand and ignores the earthquake for the time being. I will follow up on the follow-up."
"learn."
According to the data fed back by the instrument, a red line and a red circle were quickly marked on the map. The earthquake was very far away, even spanning half a continent, but this also showed how terrible the shock was at the center of the earthquake. Pass it here.
NE-002 can give himself some terrible weapons, but there is no guarantee that others will also have some secret weapons, not to mention the unpredictable existence of tourists!
At this time, an email came over, which was encrypted. The marked location was exactly the beacon location discussed with NE-002 before. Lu Ning used the key to decode it and marked it on the map, only to find that it happened to be in the same direction as the vibration.
"NE-002, this is DU-003, please answer!" She immediately connected to the spacecraft's communication channel.
Five seconds later, the communication was connected.
"I know what you want to ask, but this is not the beacon I gave you, it is farther away."
"This kind of earthquake that affects a continent must not be a natural phenomenon, right? That place is not a plate junction zone." Lu Ning asked with a frown.
"If you want to know what happened at that location, I can ask it for you, but it will definitely take a long time. I don't have that much time to spend on investigating this kind of thing right now."
"oh?"
"I know your suspicions, but my team is not the only one on this planet that is rapidly expanding its investigation. There are some things that we need to get ahead of."
"NE-002, you also know something." Lu Ning's tone slowed down a bit, "You said before that I have been in contact with those civilizations, so you must have been in contact with them, otherwise why do you have to be the first? Come on normally. Any team that discovers it will report it."
"I don't believe in personal judgment, and I have no right to ask you to compile information to me. If you must ask, then I can tell you, yes, I have already investigated a ruins."
"I want some information. I want to know what we're going to face."
"Can."
After a while, a set of photos was sent, with some translated text on them. Lu Ning looked at this building and was stunned for a moment. The whole building was made of dark golden metal. Simple and powerful patterns could be seen in many places, which made people feel the fighting will inside at a glance. There were even some... A weapon rack with a shotgun-like weapon hanging on it that is as uniform as standard equipment.
This is not surprising, the problem is that the architectural style, drawing style, etc. are completely different from the previous observer civilization.
"Through some language analysis, I can roughly understand the records they left on a metal book. This building belongs to an... organization, or civilization called the 'Rangers'. They don't have a chronology, so it's impossible to guess. The specific age. But there is such a narrative in it. They found that this planet was suitable for becoming a temporary habitable planet. The only drawback was that the light from the star was too dazzling, so they smashed a planet and used the crushed small particles. The planetary belt filters some of the light, creating conditions suitable for habitation."
Lu Ning's mouth twitched.
Breaking planets is not a difficult task. The Canglong Alliance also has many technological methods that can destroy planets. But if the purpose of breaking stars is to turn planets into stable asteroid belts and filter out light beams, it is not possible yet. thing.
"It's really a heroic race."
"Yes, and this building was hidden on the planet by this race through a technological method called 'object'. Now that this method has failed, we can see it. The beacon I gave you is through the building. We can read the wavelengths unique to objects, and then search for similar wavelength bands on the entire planet to locate them. I can guarantee that there are no 'Rangers' on this planet anymore, otherwise we would not even be indifferent to the fact that we have entered the garrison point. "
"Okay, in that case, you should really check out this beacon location. I'll probably set off after building the weapons."
"I wish you good luck." NE-002 cut off the communication after saying this.
"There is more than one civilization..." Lu Ning sat in her seat and pondered. She originally thought that the observers were old enough, but she did not expect that there was a ranger. Will there be a third civilization? The observers died and the rangers left. Is there any connection between the two? And about the earthquake, NE-002 obviously knew something, but avoided it with other topics. Could it be that the place where NE-001 performed the secret mission was there?
The robot on the screen has opened a clearing in the place she selected and began to extract accessories from the outpost and start assembling weapons. Lu Ning only occasionally glanced at the construction there, and her main thoughts were still on this scene.
Phantom Star Syndrome, the theme of the scene. What dangers does it have? Where does it exist? There is no clue at all, all the information is sideways, and there is never a positive explanation of its specific characteristics.
Lu Ning felt a little irritated. She walked out of the cabin and saw the light of the fire.
The bright orange flames quickly turned bluish-white, and the thrusters roared loudly, raising smoke around the launcher. Dragon Vein and Lei Wang were not surprised by this scene at all. Launching satellites was not an exciting thing nowadays, and they did not even need to be reported. Lu Ning raised her head and watched as the light point gradually rushed up into the night sky, towards the stars, and gradually turned into something similar to those blurry and twinkling stars.
"Seven hours later, we will enter the predetermined orbit, captain." Longmai turned around and saw Lu Ning before speaking, "It is estimated that the quick-shot images will be sent back tomorrow morning."
"Thank you for your hard work. Get some rest early." Lu Ning nodded to the two of them and walked toward the outpost.
Tomorrow, robots can also build weapons. In this case, she still has something to do before leaving.
"Bayonets, spades, bluebirds, empty valleys, and recorders. We will prepare the equipment today. We will go on a long trip tomorrow."

At this time, in a fortress-like metal building, two teams were slowly moving along the metal downward stairs.
"I'm talking to Captain Sun, this place is definitely the ruins of an alien civilization. Do we really want to continue exploring inside?" The person at the front asked in the private channel in a somewhat elongated tone, "With the equipment we have, we can't do it." Can’t you get in?”
"Xiang Yi, stop pretending to me." The captain he asked was also unceremonious, "I know what kind of bad person you are, I just don't care about your tricks. You asked to come in, why are you retreating now? ? Could it be that you discovered something that you want to devour for yourself?"
"Oh, you really can't speak." Xiang Yi grinned, "We are working together."
"Among you, the one least worthy of cooperation is you."
"Huh." At this point, Xiang Yi didn't bother to pretend and said bluntly, "I already understand the situation in this place... No, I also have a general understanding of the situation in this scene. Your surname is Sun. If you want to complete your revenge on that dead woman here, you have to listen to me."
"Just you?" Captain Sun sneered, "Even if this planet explodes, you may not be able to kill Du Xieyi. I know you are a bit smart and cruel, but you want to kill her just based on these things? A man who can kill her in a pure ghost scene She is the one who digs out hell, and she can turn your plans into rubbish just by sheer luck."
"I really don't know Du Xieyi as well as you." Xiang Yi said in a gloomy tone, "But I know good people very well. Just like she left you alive just because you didn't need to die, without considering your future revenge... Good people , there’s always a whole bunch of weaknesses.”
"……Yeah?"
"Captain, team members, the alliance behind you, the collision of civilizations. Good people like to take on unnecessary responsibilities, and they will never tire of it even if they are crushed to death." Xiang Yi grinded his teeth.
