A huge ck wreckagey ahead, and the lush, glowing deep-sea nts surrounding it revealed the details of the wreckage. It was about 10-km long and it had a slender body as well as arge number of crystalline sheet metal distributed around it. The crystalline sheets of metal were of different sizes, ranging from about dozens of meters to even hundreds of meters wide. They were spread like petals or sails along the axis of the wreckage and in all directions. On the back of the wreckage, there were some strange metallic structures, which had swelled up. Something like radiator grids were arranged neatly on it.
The wreckagey on the seabed, and it was supported by arge number of buildings so it did notpletely copse. Some of its crystalline sheet metal were probably smashed in the process of falling. They ended up broken apart and scattered all around. They did not see any interpretable markings on the wreckage, except for arge, abstract symbol that resembled the sun. It was on one of the ck crystalline sheets, but they did not know what it meant.
Hao Ren knew that it was a spacecraft the moment he saw it. This was a result of him taking some time to study those educational manuals diligently. After a further scan, the MDT came to a more precise conclusion, “It’s a spacecraft, but its materials arepletely different from that of the sirens’ spacecraft.”
“Well, it’s obvious. The style isn’t the same as well,” Hao Ren said as he slowly navigated the Petrachelys closer to the wreckage. As they approached the wreckage, the steel monster of more than 10 km long gave them an even greater impression. Its bizarre “petal” structure and ck paint were impressive. “This thing’s really big… Is it a battleship or amon spaceship?”
“I assure you that it’s not a coincidence that amon spacecraft crashed on this ce. And judging from its structure, it’s more like a battleship,” the MDT said while it circled Hao Ren’s head. “Well, not bad. I didn’t expect you to already be so skilled at navigating a spacecraft. I thought I’d have to assist you my entire life.”
Hao Ren waved his hand to push the MDT aside. “Of course. I’ve studied the instructions too. I can’t operate it in a battle, but I can still do something simple, like move it.”
The gigantic ck wreckage was obviously not built by sirens. This made Hao Ren think of the Zzarn, which blew up in orbit, and he doubted if this spaceship was the alien warship that attacked Io. However, there was one more question that could not be exined: why did it crash there?
The small and light Petrachelys quickly traveled through the crystalline sheet metal. Several small detectors were released to look for an entrance. Suddenly, Nangong Wuyue’s voice sounded in themunicator. “Landlord! We found something!”
“You found the teleportation portal?”
“No, I found another fugitive ship,” Nangong Wuyue quickly said. “It’s blown up and torn apart. There’s another strange thing here… It’s really huge!”
Hao Ren immediately navigated the spacecraft and said, “Stay there, don’t move. I’m tracking your position.”
The siren’s speed was staggeringly fast in the water. In just one or two hours they had already swum for hundreds of kilometers respectively. Hao Ren found Nangong Wuyue on the edge of Evadurant. She waved to the spacecraft, raised her hand and pointed to a huge relic outside the city.
That was another immigrant starship. Ity still there, close to the city of Evadurant. Because of itsrge size, it looked like another city lying on the seabed. This ‘city’ had been torn apart, more miserable than the Zzarn on the orbital station. A huge tear stretched across the entire starship, almost breaking it in half. And countless shattered wreckage was scattered radially around there.
“This is the Psion.” Hao Ren concluded when he found the wreckage to be the same model as the wreckage of the orbital station, “We’ve found the ship… It didn’t escape. It was blown up directly on theunch pad. ”
If there was no interference of the “Wall of Reality” that caused the entire region in the cloudy state and the poor “visibility”, Hao Ren could confirm the structure of the seabed from high altitude. He would see the Evadurant in the middle of a in, and the fourrge tformsparable to the size of the city distributed symmetrically around the capital of sirens. It was theunch pad thatunched the ark.
There used to be four starships there. Now, Nasaton had settled down on earth, the Zzarn was floating alone in Io’s higher orbit, and the Psion was lying there miserably, torn apart by some powerful force. The huge starship was left with only broken walls.
And the Antwern, which was said to be specially designed… Itsunch pad was empty, and no one knew where it had gone to.
“The whereabouts of the three exiled spacecraft, including Nasaton, have been confirmed,” Y’zaks counted silently and said. “And thest one, Antwern, right? Haven’t found it yet.”
“Maybe it had been blown up somewhere, too, but I sincerely hope that it was sessfullyunched, and hadnded safely somewhere, just like Nasaton,” Vivian said, shaking her head and sighed, “From the wreckage, we can see that how hard those sirens had tried… Too bad.”
“That’s the ‘strange thing’ that Wuyue mentioned?” Nangong Sanba pointed to a dark shadow near the wreckage, “It looks like… another ck spacecraft.”
“Well, yes, it’s the same model as the unidentified spacecraft we just found,” Hao Ren turned the external monitor and magnified the shadow, and found that it was also a ck giant spacecraft. It was more than 10 kilometers long, with distinctive, sail-like crystal sheet metals arranged neatly on it. Ity still beside the ruins of the Psion and pointed a series of gun muzzle-like structures towards the ruins as if it was still firing at thest minute before it crashed, perished together. “I think… We need to take the spaceship back as a sample.”
“I agree,” the MDT said, “This unidentified spacecraft is closely rted to the destruction of Io, and should be sampled and analyzed.”
“How many gravity regtors do we have?” Hao Ren tapped on the MDT and asked. “I remember we left a lot of gravity regtors with us when we helped Wang to move home, should be enough to lift this thing from the sea to outer space.”
The MDT did a simple calction and said, “The quantity is sufficient, but we need a towing ship. Petrachelys can do it.”
“Okay, let’s get it out of the water now.” Hao Ren decided immediately. “I don’t want any ident to happen and damage the sampleter.”
Suddenly, the voice of the Queen came from themunicator. “Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?”
“Katreina?”
“Yes. I found the teleportation portal… It’s very messy. I can’t get closer.”
“The main course ising.” Hao Ren looked at the people around him, and then nced at the wreckage of the huge ck battleship on the holographic projection. He weighed then nodded, and said, “Data Terminal, you’ll handle the spacecraft. Get it out of the water. Now give me an integrated engineering machine. I send the explosives to the teleportation portal.”
Lily jumped excitedly and asked, “Landlord, can I go with you?”
Hao Ren pinned her down and said, “You’re too slow, just stay on the spacecraft. Vivian, you stay here as well. I’m just going to ce a bomb. I’m familiar with this, shouldn’t have any problem.”
Then he beckoned to Y’zaks and said, “Youe and give me a hand. Help me to cope with any idents. And the rest, including Wuyue, stay on the spacecraft until I detonate the bomb.”
“Oh…” Lily said bitterly. Everyone agreed but Lily. All Huskies had the simr reaction when they were left at home. She nced at the control desk and asked, “Then can I…”
“Cannot,” Hao Ren pinned her back to her chair. “Don’t press anything. MDT, lock the operating system. Limit the ess to everything except for movie yer and Super Mario.”
After distributing the tasks, Hao Ren and Y’zaks left the bridge together.
Petrachelys began to approach the ck spacecraft lying at the bottom of the sea. Many doors were opened on one side of it and lots of autonomous robotsing out and pushing the anti-gravity devices and swimming to the wreckage, preparing for rted instation and operation. Meanwhile, the second half of the Petrachelys opened another gate, and a small probe of about 10 m flew out of it.
A silver shiny cube was pushed in front of the probe — it was the fiery gift that Hao Ren had prepared for the teleportation portal.
