Chapter 243 Outpost
Chapter 243 Outpost
“We need a base.”
When he woke up early in the morning, Pandora ran to my room and said to me with a rare happy expression.
"The spacecraft will start to synchronize later. I'm waiting for my brother on the upper platform. My brother will definitely like this surprise."
I glanced at Pandora with a sunny face in a daze, then pinched the other person's soft little face, with a very puzzled expression: "Why are you so happy today?"
Pandora took something out of her small pocket and said in a quiet tone: "Ticket."
When I saw the most familiar item, I was immediately shocked:
"You stole the lollipops you hid from the bubble again!?"
This was a shocking morning. After seeing the lollipop in Pandora's hand that could be called a loli artifact, I suddenly felt thunder rolling, and a huge "囧" word shining with dazzling golden light rose from the east. Pandora, who was usually serious and old-fashioned, has now developed such a childish daily habit in the confrontation with Xiao Bubble. This is really...
Should I cry or laugh now?
I coaxed Pandora away with laughter and cry, and then began to rush to the entire air fortress - um, now it should be an ordinary ground fortress. We have landed smoothly in the mountains on the west side of the Ghostland - looking for small bubbles everywhere. If I was right, the little guy should be looking for the candy he hid everywhere. If I didn't find it within thirty minutes and coaxed her well, I'm afraid I'll be busy all day today...
Xiao Pupu is indeed very obedient in normal times, but there are exceptions in everything. If she really wants to cry, the power is no less than that of any ordinary little loli who cries after throwing away candy. She has to take care of her daughter who is still far away from her. I have a huge duck pear.
So, it's really hard to raise a child...
Finally, I found a small bubble in a very strange place - in the space engine at the bottom of the fortress, the little guy was sleeping on the maintenance passage of the sixth energy corridor of the main engine, drooling with his fingers in his mouth. Thanks to this future chief construction engineer of the empire, the entire space transition system of the fortress was shut down due to the safety protection lock...
I always think that Xiao Bubo has a magical ability that we cannot understand but does exist, that is, at any time, it can appear in any place you can't imagine, such as slipping into the command room in a meeting, staggering in a military factory workshop, and swaying into the arsenal with eleven security locks, you can never imagine how this little fool who can't even separate his left and right hands will enter the military restricted area where even a fly has to show a pass when entering. The Apostle Xiling, who is usually responsible for taking care of Xiao Bubo, always reports to me about this situation: in the blink of an eye, the little princess no longer knows where to go, and then it won't take long to report the figure of a lost little girl in a corner that you can't even imagine.
This is a very supernatural event.
But from this point of view, compared to sitting in the missile storage room holding a bear and playing house, Xiao Bubble is nothing now sleeping in the giant engine maintenance channel...
It seems that Xiao Bubo didn't know that the candy he had treasured had been stolen by Pandora as a trophy, so he could sleep so peacefully. I carefully held her in my arms, left the giant engine with a diameter of 400 meters, and then quickly walked towards the upper passage of the fortress. In the morning, Pandora told me that he wanted to build a base. I guess there would be a good show in a while. The technology of the Xiling Empire can always bring me many surprises.
As for Xiao Bubble, this little guy's memory is sometimes really bad. As long as she wakes up and stays with her for a while, she will definitely forget what she has lost. This characteristic really reduces a lot of trouble for me.
When I came to the upper platform of the fortress with a small bubble that was still sleeping and began to drool on me, I saw that there were already many people gathered here, including the envoys of various races with serious and nervous expressions and several big figures, including Xiling's senior management who were pointing at the bottom like a grocery shopping aunt in the market, were already waiting there, as if I was missing me.
"Sorry, I've let everyone wait for a long time."
I walked forward with an apology smile, but I didn't expect that the establishment of the outpost would require me to watch the ceremony in person, so why didn't anyone notify me?
Lin Xue, who was obviously a little impatient, gave me a blank look and said angrily: "Don't be self-indulgent. No one is waiting for you. We are waiting for the spaceship to be synchronized."
...It seems that I don’t have to expect this girl to save face when she learns to speak.
At this time, due to the changes in the surrounding environment, Xiao Bubu also woke up in advance. When the little guy opened his eyes and saw so many more people nearby, he immediately stretched his arms and legs and waved them back and forth happily. Although I didn't know what she was thinking, I still put the little guy down.
As soon as it landed, Xiao Bubble immediately ran towards the two long-acting luminous bodies of Alaya and Anwina, calling for a hug, and the latter immediately closed its wings and weakened its light and showed an expression of being facing a great enemy - this was almost their standard reaction when they saw Xiao Bubble.
"Where is Pandora?" I looked around, but found that Pandora, who should have been waiting here for a long time, was nowhere to be seen, and her adjutant Sives and Bubble were not in the crowd.
With his usual gentle smile, my sister nodded slightly and said, "Pandora and the others are carrying out synchronized dispatching and command in the fortress control center."
I discovered again that I had been listening to the heavenly books—these professional technical terms are really incomprehensible, although for the original Apostle of Xiling, this is something that should be known in one's life.
"What is synchronization?" I asked with a very sincere and shameless expression, and at the same time turned my eyes to the distance. At this time, I realized that when we landed, our spacecraft did not arrange according to the standard ship parking array, but made another unique plan. In front of me, large spacecraft of various mothership-level spacecraft were regularly distributed throughout the valley and nearby small hilly areas, forming a loose structure with the fortress as the center. Even a military novices like me could see that this was not any arrangement suitable for spacecraft parking.
"This explanation is a bit complicated," Shandora came over, "I guess you must not be patient to study them. You will just watch it in a while. The empire is called the most powerful war civilization, which is not blown up."
Just when I was still thinking hard about the three words "synchronization" and guessing what the deep meaning of the motherships arranged in front of me had, a soft female voice suddenly resounded throughout the platform: "The cluster scheduling has been completed, the synchronization has reached 100%, and the base has been unfolded."
"It's started." Shandora whispered in my ear, with a clear tone of pride.
Then, I heard a low roar first coming from the depths of the ground under my feet, and then as if responding to the call, all the spacecraft in the entire valley made such a depressing roar.
The envoys of all races next to us inevitably had a small commotion because they did not know what kind of miracles they were about to witness. The excitement and a hint of inexplicable awe made these knowledgeable and knowledgeable figures feel a little uncontrollable.
The low roar lasted for about ten seconds, and then I felt the ground under my feet start to vibrate violently.
Since I was in it, I didn't know what changes had happened to the fortress under my feet, but through the scene in front of me, I could roughly guess what had happened.
The enormous shells of the mothership are gradually opening up, and the hideous main guns and huge engines are retracted one by one to retract back to the folding space at their bottom. Various equipment that should not have appeared on the combat spacecraft were exposed from their original clever hidden corners in this huge deformation. The original combat modules on the mothership are constantly undergoing complex displacement and splicing, and finally forming a new functional structure. The tall towers and workshops slowly rise from the inside of the mothership in dazzling deformation and reorganization. The amazingly efficient nanorobot Hong
The flow spread from the bottom of each spacecraft, rapidly changing the shape of every ground it flows through, forming a solid metal ground and a wide runway in just a few minutes. The "builders" who had been produced by bubbles and were ready began to happily install lighting equipment and warning probes that could be arranged quickly in every corner of the new home. Ten minutes later, the roar of the deformation of the mothership gradually stopped, and another strange roar gradually sounded - it was the sound of the full power operation of various military factories and functional buildings.
I could no longer see a huge warship parked among rocks and hills, only a magnificent base covered by silver grey occupying this huge valley with a huge momentum.
"The enemy will not give us time to build a base," Shandora's happy voice woke me up from my daze. "So I had already completed the base before I set out. The necessary military buildings were integrated into each accompanying mothership, and more extended functional buildings were built and rebuilt by bubbles during the journey. The core of the fortress under our feet was actually a small Xiling mother nest. It had already entered normal operation long before our army landed. How about it, have you been shocked?"
