Mecha world.

Five months have passed since the battle of the Reapers ended. Under the leadership of the Chinese Federation, mankind has once again embarked on a new journey.

Although the Reapers destroyed all the colonies in the solar system, they also gave humans the courage to leave the solar system. The first immigrant ship of the Chinese Federation has now left the solar system and headed for an unknown new world.

And now, they are surveying a brand new planet.

"This is the Nadeshiko, calling the Apollo team. How is the investigation going?"

"This is the Apollo team. Everything is normal. No abnormalities have been found so far."

"clear."

Hearing the answer, the captain of the Nadeshiko, Yurika, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me, Anya."

"nothing."

The person piloting the VF fighter at the moment is none other than the former Knight of the Round Table of Britannia, Ania Alstolem. Although she currently stays in the Tiandao Palace, she occasionally returns to her own world.

Help me, it's the same this time. Humanity is looking for colonies outside the solar system, and the Apollo team is investigating this planet.

"Speaking of which, how is Mr. Fangzheng doing lately?"

After talking about the business, Yulijia suddenly became curious. As someone who had traveled to another world, of course she also knew about Fang Zheng's situation.

"Your Excellency is not in Tiandao Palace."

Ania replied calmly.

"Are you going to save another world?"

"No."

However, facing Yulijia's question, Aniya shook her head.

"I heard that he went to have a harem."

"…………Huh? What's going on?"

"I don't know, that's what little black sister said..."

"Obviously there are already a lot of girls in the Tomorrow Palace...men really like the new and hate the old."

Yulijia also sighed with emotion, but Aniya obviously didn't care. Just when she was about to leave after inspecting the last area, suddenly, the signal on the radar made Aniya increase her vigilance.

"Unidentified object found."

With a faint report, Aniya immediately flew the VF fighter plane to circle downwards and led her team into the canyon below. Then, they discovered a strange and huge warship in the canyon.

He was lying silently on the ground.

"What is this? Is it an alien spacecraft?"

Seeing this, Asuka suddenly became excited. After arriving at Tiandao Palace, she and Ayanami Rei both joined Aniya's VF fighter team. Because they had experience in operating EVA, the two of them quickly became familiar with flying VF.

He joined Aniya's VF fighter squadron without much effort. This time, after hearing Aniya say that she wanted to go to other worlds to help, Asuka immediately pulled Ayanami Rei and shamelessly came over.

Aniya did not refuse.

Facing Asuka's inquiry, Ania did not answer immediately. She first opened the terminal and scanned it, and then opened the contact.

"This is the Apollo team. We found an artificial battleship in the S-31 area of ​​Alpha Star. The identity is unknown."

"A product of the Reapers?"

Hearing this, Yulijia, the imperial commander, suddenly became nervous. Although the Reapers have been completely eliminated, the wounds suffered by the Reapers in the mecha world are not so easy to heal. You must know that they are outside the solar system now, and humans have never

Places they have set foot on. It is precisely because of this that Yulijia hopes to ask for help from Tiandao Palace. After all, relatively speaking, Tiandao Palace still has more experience than them in this kind of exploration of external galaxies.

This is why Aniya came to help. In fact, not only them, but also two destroyers and a battleship of the Blue Fleet in extraterrestrial orbit, all came to escort the immigrant ships of the Chinese Federation.

"After the search, there is no similar data on battleships in the database of Tiandao Palace. They may be products from other civilizations."

Having said this, Ania thought for a while.

"No life reaction was found, and we will continue to investigate."

As he spoke, under the leadership of Aniya, the three VFs immediately descended, turned into robots, and then landed in front of the battleship.

Judging from the appearance, this battleship has obviously been abandoned a long time ago. Not only is the hatch wide open, but it is also surrounded by a mass of rags. It is not visible from above. When you get closer, you can find that this battleship and the ship have obviously fallen to the ground.

On the ground. Although the whole part is complete, there are still tatters everywhere.

"Be careful."

Ania gave Asuka and Ayanami Rei instructions, and then drove the VF and carefully walked through the opened hole with the gun raised. Asuka and Ayanami Rei followed closely behind, looking around curiously.

To be honest, this battleship doesn't look beautiful at all. From the outside, it looks a bit like what an elementary school student put together with building blocks, and it's not really beautiful on the inside. Asuka and Ayanami Rei are staying at the Tiandao Palace, and they have been there at least.

Star Spirit Ark. Anyone who has seen the Blue Battleship. Compared with the Tiandao Palace, this battleship is like the gap between a jeep from the 1950s and a top sports car from the 21st century.

"It seems quite backward."

Asuka glanced at it and then muttered, while Ayanami Rei silently answered.

"But these people are definitely much bigger than us."

As she spoke, Ayanami Rei controlled the mecha to turn on the lighting and pointed to the door next to it - that door was more than twice as big as the door on an ordinary battleship, although it was still a "small door" for the mecha.

, but for human size, it is considered a "giant".

"Launch the detector."

As Aniya spoke, she soon saw several small shining balls falling from the fighter plane, quickly and silently disappearing into various passages like butterflies. Not long after, the entire spacecraft was blown away.

Scanned it again.

"No biological reaction was found, no body was found, and the main engine was destroyed... As of now, that's the situation."

Looking at the data fed back by the detector, Aniya nodded, and then immediately contacted Yulijia to report the situation on her side. After listening to Aniya's report, Yulijia was silent for a moment.

Then he asked.

"Is there any danger?"

"It's hard to say at the moment, but it looks like this battleship has been abandoned."

"I understand. I will send someone to repair it and see if I can collect some information."

Yulijia also made her own decision.

Aniya didn't say anything about this. After all, Tiandao Palace was only here to help, not to take the lead. They could just watch from the sidelines.

Not long after, I saw a spaceship descending from the sky and arriving beside Aniya and others. Then several soldiers and researchers from the Chinese Federation walked down from above and walked into the spacecraft with excitement and excitement——

—This is normal, after all, this is the first wave of traces of civilization they have discovered outside the solar system.

Soon, the investigation team's report came out - the main engine was damaged, obviously man-made, but the power system and operating system seemed to be fine. They were trying to repair and start up to see if they could find any clues.

.

Not long after, only a low roar was heard, and then everyone saw the spacecraft begin to flash its lights, as if a sleeping beast had awakened again.

Asuka observed it carefully and finally gave her own opinion.

"Sure enough, it's still ugly."

After that, everything was normal - until a warning came from the Javelin patrolling nearby.

"A large number of unknown signals were found at twelve o'clock!"

"Everyone prepare to fight!"

Hearing the javelin's warning, Yulijia, the imperial commander, immediately became nervous.

"Notify the immigrant ship immediately, and all fleets are ready for battle! Do not open fire without my order!"

Soon, not long after, everyone saw hundreds of strange-shaped alien warships appearing in front of them. These warships looked like green pods and looked strange, but their large numbers made them frightening.

Immediately afterwards, two small alien warships were seen breaking away from the rear and flying towards them.

"…………"

Seeing this, Yulijia also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Contact the other party and ask about their intention..."

However, before Yulijia finished speaking, Hoshino Ruri suddenly reported in a low voice in front of the operating table.

"Unknown high-energy reaction was discovered from the S-31 area on the ground!"

Almost at the same time, a voice suddenly sounded.

"This is the investigation team. If you hear Nadeshiko, please answer!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Yulijia was also startled and hurriedly opened the contact.

"Investigation team, this is the Nadeshiko, what happened?"

"We don't know either!"
To be continued...
