After seeing the shipyard, Fang Chen walked around the universe in his palm again, and unknowingly came to Qin Miaotong's laboratory, and was pulled in by her as expected.
After a series of fierce battles, it was half a month later when the somewhat weak Fang Chen left the universe in his palm. At this time, the fleet had already appeared in the galaxy where the coordinates were located.
An ordinary ancient galaxy. The red giant star in the center of the galaxy emits a red spectrum that illuminates the entire galaxy.
Red giants are stars that have reached the end of their life cycle. Their spectrum is red and they lack heat, so the temperature in such galaxies is generally not high.
The fleet came to a stop after coming out of the wormhole. Fang Chen looked at the wreckage of the warships floating near the wormhole with some surprise, and ordered the scout ships to spread out to survey the surrounding area.
This wreckage is obviously not that of a wild monster, but the wreckage of a player's warship, and the logos on these wreckage belong to different teams, which means that two player fleets are fighting here.
He didn't expect to meet players here, and there were more than one.
Not long after, the scout ship returned and found no trace of the player fleet nearby.
He didn't hesitate too much, opened the star map and looked at the signal coordinates, and ordered the fleet to sail towards the center of the galaxy.
The further inward he drove, the more surprised he became.
The number of wild monsters in this galaxy is much smaller than that of other nearby galaxies, which means that there must be a player's power in a nearby galaxy, and this galaxy is probably the control galaxy that they are planning to develop.
Fortunately, he did not receive a sovereignty prompt after entering the galaxy. This meant that there was no outpost space station in the center of the galaxy, which meant that the galaxy had not been occupied by any force and claimed sovereignty. He could freely conduct archaeological research.
This is also a good thing, because there are people cleaning up, there are not many wild monsters in this galaxy, and no powerful wild monster fleet has been seen. The fleet safely sailed to the archaeological coordinates, above a deserted planet that is very common in the starry sky.
The so-called desolate planet refers to a planet with a bare surface and nothing, that is, no ice, no water, and no plants.
There were only a few scattered wild monster warships outside the orbit of the planet. After he easily cleared them, the fleet followed the signal and sailed to the other side of the planet.
The fleet stopped on the track and determined the signal coordinates. Fang Chen looked helplessly at the gray atmosphere displayed on the light screen in front of him.
This desolate planet has a rare thick atmosphere, which is like an atmosphere formed by countless dust mixed with the atmosphere. It is like a dust shell that surrounds the entire planet. It is difficult for radar to penetrate it.
In addition, there is a ring of dust and meteorite fragments outside the planet, with no satellites.
Fang Chen sent a dozen frigates to circle the planet and made sure that the atmosphere was the same everywhere. There was no good landing point, so he had to find a random place to land forcefully.
A frigate prepared and broke away from the fleet, slowly sinking into the atmosphere.
The picture transmitted through the fleet's internal communication shows that the frigate is wrapped in a layer of flames and quickly sinks into the planet. The picture transmitted by the battleship's sensor is that there is a chaotic flame outside the battleship.
As the battleship descended at high speed, the temperature became higher and higher, and it soon turned into a meteor and fell into the planet.
Electromagnetic interference from electrons and photons in the atmosphere caused intermittent contact.
Not long after, the communication was interrupted, but Fang Chen did not rush, but waited patiently.
After nearly half an hour, the communication was reconnected, which meant that the frigate had passed through the atmosphere and appeared on the surface of the planet.
Through the battleship radar scan, Fang Chen saw a huge modern steel city cluster appearing in front of him. A large number of aircraft shuttled between the cities. Immediately after spotting the battleship, many fighter planes flew over.
"This is?"
"NPC forces?"
This desolate planet obviously cannot be a living planet, which means that there is definitely no indigenous civilization in this urban group.
If it is not an indigenous civilization, it can only be an NPC force, and it is an extremely rare army-type NPC force.
What's even more coincidental is that the coordinates of his second archaeological ring are on this planet, within the urban agglomeration where this NPC force is located.
Fang Chen was thinking about how to face this NPC force. An expulsion message from this force made him make up his mind:
"Warning, no organism is welcome in the Robot Kingdom, get out of our kingdom immediately!"
It is in the same vein as the artificial intelligence life form discovered in the last round of archeology, and it is also the concept of the Iron-Hearted Exterminator.
There was nothing to say. Fang Chen waved his hand and sent out ten frigates to slowly sink from the orbit, preparing to use the advantage of the warships to destroy this low-tech NPC force.
Just when the fleet landed on the planet and the frigate inside the planet ignored the warning and destroyed several approaching drones, Fang Chen received a system prompt:
"Tip: Non-ground troops will not be able to obtain loot if they destroy army-type NPC forces!"
He just glanced at it and turned off the prompt. He already knew this.
But there is no way, he only has a few hundred ground troops at hand, how can he possibly capture such a large urban group.
According to his estimate, in order to attack this army-type NPC force head-on without too much loss, at least one division of standard armored troops would be needed.
If he was near the Holy Judgment, he could hire an armored division at a large price.
But it was too far here, and it was impossible to return to the Holy Judgment Galaxy to hire an armored division, so we had to give up reluctantly.
This is the difficulty of the second stage of archaeology. If you take the formal route, it will be too costly and troublesome. If you take the navy crushing route, it is basically not difficult. No matter how strong the army is on the planet, it cannot be an opponent of the interstellar battleships. But there will be no gains, only choices.
Ten frigates lined up in a row, plowing from one end of the urban cluster to the other with full firepower.
Under attack, a large number of robot troops were dispatched from this urban cluster that stretched for thousands of kilometers, equipped with various tanks and armored vehicles, and their technology level had reached T2 level.
Countless artillery shells, missiles, and fighter planes rushed towards the frigate, and were torn to pieces by the terrifying firepower on the frigate.
The distance within the planet is limited, and the close-defense system deployed plays a greater role than the naval gun. The terrifying firepower intersects into a network, crushing the large group of fighters.
Fang Chen sat on the bridge of the cruiser and watched the battle. Less than an hour after the battle began, the total number of robot troops pouring out of the urban cluster exceeded the size of fifteen divisions, and it was still increasing continuously.
"Is there still a part underground?"
A standard armored division has 100,000 soldiers, and fifteen equals 1.5 million soldiers. This is already beyond the scope of the urban group occupied by this NPC force.
It can only be said that this army-type NPC force has a larger underground robot kingdom underground, otherwise it would not be able to mobilize so many robot troops.
But the problem is not big. Battleships hitting ground troops are pure crushing. It only takes a little more time at most. He has plenty of time now.
