Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

10 minutes later……

A Pelican transport escaped from the planet's gravity and returned to the RMS Awe.

Minutes later, as the Pelican returned, the engines on the rear of the Revere burst into blinding blue flames.

Under the strong thrust, the Awe turned around and slowly flew out of the planet's gravity well.

"Leo, leave a probe, don't turn it on, let it go to another planet where the abnormal site is located by inertia."

Hurrying back to the bridge, Maureen made a suggestion to Leo.

Leo nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean, but don't be too anxious. The launch probe will definitely be discovered by the other party. At the moment when the Revere enters the jump space, the probe will be thrown out under the cover of gravity collapse. "

"Alansha, set the jump distance immediately, not too far, just jump out in the dark universe outside the star system, we will stay in the dark universe outside the star system for several months."

Alansha: "I understand. The jump distance has been set. After leaving the planet's gravity well, I will enter the jump space immediately. It is estimated that it will take 5 minutes..."

Standing in front of the window, Leo had only a serious expression on his face.

He will leave, but he will never go back empty-handed.

He will collect as much information as possible on the S-01888 star system.

Knowing oneself and knowing one another can win a hundred battles.

Although the opponent is a human being on Earth, he may become an enemy of the "UNSC" in the future.

He must collect all the information of the other party as much as possible to prepare for the future.

Five minutes later, a blue light exploded in the dark starry sky.

The Awe, flying at high speed, rushed headlong into the blue vortex...

"Regent, the other party has left..."

Enter slipspace with the Awe.

In the bridge of the destroyer Cobra.

Li Meng also received a report from the technology priest.

He saw it, saw a blue light burst out of the dark universe.

The other party has already left, and it is his turn to land on the planet next.

Now that you're here, of course you have to take the opportunity to complete the other half of the mission.

Standing up, Li Meng strode out of the bridge.

While walking, he said in his mouth: "Prepare a "V3" transport boat, I want to land on Star 2."

Ten minutes later, the No. 10 harbor gate on the left side of the "Cobra" destroyer slowly opened.

A "V3" transport boat flew out of the gate and rushed towards the surface of the planet.

After a while, the "V3" transport boat broke into the atmosphere and turned into a big fireball.

Twenty minutes later, a new guest was ushered in again on the wasteland south of the pyramid.

The engine roared, the yellow sand rolled...

A 50-meter-long aircraft landed slowly.

Not long after, figures came out from the billowing yellow sand.

"It's hot enough..."

Looking up at the pyramid building not far away, Li Meng thought to himself.

The bursting temperature on the helmet display let Li Meng know how high the temperature outside was.

"001, where does the heat source come from?"

The temperature on the surface of No. 2 star is far lower than that of No. 1 star, which is one-third worse.

Obviously, the high temperature outside does not come from the stars, but from other things.

Sure enough, 001 who was following Li Meng answered Li Meng's question.

"The heat source comes from the pyramid building..."

The place where the "V3" transport boat stops is not far from the pyramid.

Very close, only a few hundred meters.

Soon, under the protection of a small group of star soldiers, Li Meng came under the pyramid.

"Look around, if you find an entrance, report immediately..."

The soldiers of the Astral Army dispersed in a rush, exploring in two directions, left and right.

"Prince Regent, no entrance has been found..."

"There is no..."

The Star Guard soldiers circled the pyramid, finding nothing.

no entrance?

Looking up at the nearly [-]-meter-high pyramid building, Li Meng's face revealed a look of deep thought.

There must be an entrance, but because it is a relic of the ancient interstellar civilization era, they couldn't find it.

Since this pyramid building can dissipate heat, it means that the internal energy system should still be operating.

Maybe it was out of control, and the temperature couldn't be controlled, so it swayed outside.

"001, maybe blast one on the wall...or forget it..."

As soon as the idea of ​​blasting a hole in the pyramid building wall came up, Li Meng denied it.

In case there are "blue devils" in the pyramid, it would be bad to wake them up.

Compared to completing the task, Li Meng didn't want to wake up the blue devil prematurely.

The three-year time limit has only passed halfway, so he doesn't need to be too anxious.

Even if you fail, it doesn't matter, there is a "star child" random feature, and there is no penalty for mission failure.

If it doesn't work, send warships to blow up the pyramids, and it's over.

Regardless of whether it has any value, as long as it can complete the task.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and 100 million trade coins is not a lot.

However, there is another way...

"001, inform Captain Ralph to conduct a directional scan on the stratum where the pyramid is located."

Although the true face of the pyramid cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye.

But with the help of scientific and technological instruments, we can see the situation under the ground.

"Command sent, receiving related data..."

A blue light shot out from 001's electronic eyes, forming a holographic screen in front of Li Meng.

On the screen is a terrain analysis map.

"It's really big enough..."

The stratum has been blurred, and the part of the pyramid buried underground is reflected in Li Meng's eyes.

big, very big...

In terms of size, it probably surpassed a ten-kilometer-class ark.

The part exposed on the surface is only a small section of the tip of the pyramid building.

Because the "Cobra" destroyer is in orbit, the exploration depth of the formation is only a few hundred meters.

In the picture, Li Meng still couldn't see the whole picture of the pyramid building clearly.

If you want to explore deeper strata, you must use special stratum exploration equipment.

I'm afraid I'm going to fail again this time.

Li Meng really wanted to make a hole in the pyramid and go in to have a look.

But he was afraid of waking up the possible "blue devil" in the pyramid.

In the face of unknown creatures, it is still unknown whether it is strong or weak.

But he dared not take risks, let alone disrupt the current stable development situation.

But Li Meng also knew that he could no longer ignore the potential threats from Star 1 and Star 2 as before.

"Regent, door, a door is open..."

Li Meng was about to give the order to retreat when a soldier's voice suddenly sounded through the communicator.

Li Meng was taken aback by this, and immediately asked, "Where is it?"

"On the north side, it just opened up all of a sudden, and I didn't touch it."

north?

Li Meng hurriedly walked towards the north side of the pyramid.

On the north side, Li Meng saw the door.

It is very small, a round door with a diameter of less than two meters.

Some soldiers were surrounding the door, illuminating the dark environment inside with tiny searchlights on laser rifles.

"Regent, if it can be opened, it can be closed. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go in rashly..."

In front of the door, Li Meng stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the dark environment behind the door.

Can't see anything but deep darkness...
