Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Journey No.

The upper floor of the palace, the hall outside the master bedroom.

"How long has it been delayed?"

The scorching water hit him, and the report from 001 made Li Meng roll his eyes.

If the "Cobra" destroyer can be built as expected.

That should have been in the water three months ago.

He waited month after month, and finally, three months passed.

001: "99 days..."

Why not make up an integer?
"Will it be postponed again?"

001: "The final work was completed a few hours ago."

Well, it seems that the "Cobra" destroyer is really launched.

"What do I need to prepare if I set sail?"

001: "It is expected to take half a year."

"Half a year? How could it be so long?"

Li Meng showed a puzzled look on his face, he couldn't wait for half a year.

"The "Cobra" destroyer is being "baptized", which will take some time."

baptism?

The corner of Li Meng's mouth twitched as he remembered.

Warhammer 40K's Empire of Man does have this setting.

The Mechanicus believe that all machines are alive and have souls.

The Blessing of the Almighty must be given to avoid being invaded by the evil consciousness of the Warp.

Everywhere on the ship will be engraved with "sacred texts" without any meaning.

Sitting with his back against the edge of the pool, Li Meng began to think quickly.

No, it's a waste of time.

The baptism of the Cobra destroyer by those "tech priests" must be stopped.

But how to stop it, Li Meng couldn't think of a reason for a while.

As the Regent, he cannot deny the significance of the Mechanicus to all "mechanical" baptisms.

This is a culture, a belief, a heritage...

"There is news from the bridge that abnormal gravitational fluctuations have occurred in the star field at the edge of the S-01888 star system. An unknown spaceship suddenly appeared and has entered the star system. According to the calculation of the route, it will arrive at the second star in two hours. .”

The report from 001 made Li Meng's face change slightly.

Has an unknown spacecraft entered the S-01888 star system?
The news came too suddenly.

Fifteen months later, more than a year later, the S-01888 star system finally ushered in a new guest.

Frowning slightly, Li Meng stood up and left the pool naked.

Eileen, who was waiting on the shore, Ellie got up quickly.

He greeted him with a towel and nightgown in his hand.

"There is news from the bridge that the star field where the unknown spacecraft is located has undergone a gravitational collapse. It is estimated to be an unknown super-light flight technology. Ten seconds ago, the unknown aircraft appeared in the outer space outside the gravity well of the No. [-] star."

Under the service of Irene and Ai Li, Li Meng put on a silver nightgown.

Quickly came to the glass wall, looking at the starry sky outside, Li Meng showed a thoughtful expression.

So, is it the first time for the other party to come to the S-01888 star system?
If not, the other party would not first appear in the dark universe outside the S-01888 star system.

Then scan the S-01888 star system, lock on the No. [-] star, and make a short-distance transition.

Instead, it will directly appear in the outer space near the No. [-] star.

"001, notify Donald to suspend all "baptism" work, and the "Cobra" destroyer must be put into service immediately."

"Also, inform Ralph to lead the trainees to board the ship immediately. Within two hours, the "Cobra" destroyer must set sail."

Li Meng was worrying that there was no reason to stop the Mechanicus from "baptizing" the "Cobra" destroyer.

I didn't expect the reason to come by itself so soon.

Although this is not the reason he wants.

But it can only catch the ducks on the shelves.

Why the other party chose No. 2 star, this is definitely not some kind of coincidence.

Li Meng did not forget the abnormal location on the No. 2 star.

Maybe the other party came for the abnormal place.

If this is the case, then the identity of the other party must be a human on Earth.

Just as Li Meng was preparing for the sudden appearance of an unexpected guest.

On the other side, in the dark universe.

There is a khaki planet floating alone in the universe.

It has two moons of varying sizes, one large and one small, orbiting it.

It is number 2 star.

In appearance, Star 2 is very similar to Star [-].

It is also earthy yellow, but the size of the planet is smaller, only half of that of No. [-] star.

It is also farther away from the stars, and the temperature during the day and night is lower than that of No. [-] star.

But today, Star 2 welcomed a new guest for the first time.

In the universe outside the planet's gravity well, the space was suddenly distorted, and a blue vortex burst out.

A strange spaceship flew out of the vortex.

It is silver-gray as a whole, with a sci-fi texture, and looks like a gun without a handle.

It is more than 500 meters long, more than 120 meters wide and more than 110 meters high.

The front half of the hull is hollow in the middle, has an acceleration track, and is an electromagnetic gun.

There are three huge engines at the rear, arranged in a triangle.

Two big and one small, the bottom is big and the top is small.

Blue flames spewed out from the huge nozzle, propelling the spaceship to approach the No. [-] star.

It is a battleship, a real warship.

At this moment, in the low bridge on the upper level of the spaceship...

"We're finally here, Leo, thank you for your help, without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to complete the mission in three years."

Looking at the khaki planet outside the window, Mo Lin showed joy.

He thanked the people around him with a grateful face.

Both of them were wearing dark silver military uniforms and hats with big brims.

With a grin, Leo said heartily: "We are all members of the "UNSC", and we should help each other. Besides, idleness is idleness, and there is an excuse to drive this firm-class frigate for a ride."

Outside the window, the khaki planet is getting closer...

About 10 minutes later, the battleship sailed into the orbit of No. 2 star.

"Governor Leo, has entered the orbit of the planet, I need new instructions..."

There are no crew members on the bridge, only a terminal platform used by the ship AI.

This makes the space of the bridge very wide.

"Stand by in orbit, prepare a landing team, and escort Governor Morin to the abnormal location."

"The order has been conveyed, the third mobile team is gathering, and is expected to be on standby at Harbor No. 10 in [-] minutes."

Turning his head to look at Mo Lin beside him, Leo said, "Mo Lin, the next landing is up to you."

Nodding his head, Mo Lin said, "Then I will prepare."

Without saying anything more, Mo Lin turned around and left quickly.

As Maureen left, Leo looked at a virtual villain on the terminal platform.

Alansa, the AI ​​for this firm-class frigate.

"Alansha, where is the other abnormal location?"

The holographic dummy disappeared, replaced by a star map of the S-01888 star system.

A khaki planet was locked, enlarged, and entered Leo's eyes.
