Chapter 14: The Lost Spaceship

Starry Night was still wearing a white research coat and walking in the central corridor of the base with a thick document in his right hand, and it was only 8 o'clock in the morning, and there were already many people walking in the corridor.

As a global organization, TPC brings together the best people from all over the world, and the base has the largest number of top people in various disciplines. Along the way, you can see the most common thing about researchers in white research coats, discussing academic issues with each other as they walk.

Starry Night walked on the road from time to time when someone greeted him, Starry Night kept nodding frequently, and it didn't take long to arrive at the destination this time - D3 hangar.

Testing, repairs, and assembly of the Phoenix were all done here, and the testing work had already begun when Starry Night arrived here.

"Dr. Starry Night, the Phoenix has been overhauled and is ready for final testing. Starry Night's chief assistant Harano came over and reported.

"Hmm," Starry Night turned her gaze to the Phoenix in the center of the room, "Let's get started!"

A test pilot saluted the starry night and climbed into the cabin with his helmet on, and the Phoenix was slowly towed to the take-off runway by a trailer.

"The door to the D3 hangar is open, and the Phoenix enters the take-off runway!"

"The Phoenix has taken off!"

Starry Night sat in a chair and watched the monitoring of various parts of the Phoenix's fuselage on several screens, and the operator reported the situation of the Phoenix at any time.

"By the way, there's no news from the Jeep Three yet?" Starry Night asked a little nonchalantly.

"Well, it's been two months since I lost contact, and the Space Development Agency has basically given up looking for it. Yuan Ye immediately opened the information in his hand and carefully checked it, and said.

"I told them before that as long as they wait one to two years, they can put Max on the spaceship after they have perfected it. Not only is it much faster, but it is also very energy-efficient. A bespectacled researcher standing to the left of Starry Night shook his head and sighed.

Starry Night didn't say a word and stared at the number of the Phoenix, as if he hadn't initiated the topic just now.

"Hmph, the people in the Space Development Bureau always look like they're on their toes. One researcher said indignantly, "Isn't it because they're pathfinders for future plans for new fields?"

"Then there is no way to let them get the pouring of TPC resources, only the demand can be satisfied. I haven't seen any workable research from them!" said an operator in his mid-20s, turning his head and saying dismissively.

Starry Night ignored the various envy and jealousy of the group of people under his command for the Space Development Bureau, because of the need for TPC at the beginning, the Space Development Bureau can be said to have the support of the entire earth, and the subordinate departments can be said to be a small TPC, so it also makes that group of people arrogant, and they don't take other departments in their eyes at all.

But this is just the last madness, and TPC is already preparing to split the Space Development Agency, splitting their various departments into the corresponding specialized departments.

"The Phoenix is ready to return after testing!" After a two-hour flight, the test pilot completed various tests.

"Permission to return!"

"Phoenix goes into landing orbit!"

"The door of the D3 hangar is open, and the Phoenix has entered the D3 hangar!"

From time to time, the room resounded with a crisp report sound.

Finally, the Phoenix came to a steady stop on the tarmac, and the test pilot jumped down energetically, and it seemed that the two-hour flight did not make him tired.

A large number of researchers immediately rushed over, ignoring the fact that the aircraft engine had just stopped, and the temperature was still very high, Starry Night also walked over and looked at the various numbers of the Phoenix, and sighed silently.

Handed over all the work to his subordinates, Starry Night walked to the command room with a large stack of materials.

As soon as I entered the command room, I found that the atmosphere in the command room was very tense, and the screen showed an obvious radar signal falling through the atmosphere to the ground.

"According to the current trajectory, the expected landing site is near Kashima Beach. Ye Rui quickly calculated the landing site based on the trajectory of the target.

"I remember that there was equipment from the Space Development Agency. Lina stood up straight and said, as to why it was so clear that it was naturally a family reason.

"Yes! There's a high-purity energy reserve base for the next century's interstellar launch vehicles! But I've heard that the energy there has recently begun to relocate and is about to be abandoned. Horii said the latest information he had learned.

"That's right, because of Max's power system, although the people at the Space Development Agency don't want to admit it, those stored energy have lost their purpose. The high-purity energy stored there has gradually begun to be transported to the Tsurazaki power station for power generation. Starry Night said with a light smile.

"Evacuation alert issued!" Megumi Kuruma ordered, "Victory Team go!"

"Understood!" Lina, Horii, and Munakata immediately headed to the hangar to attack aboard the Swift II.

"Understood!" Norui immediately contacted the Space Development Bureau and informed them of the situation.

And at that moment, the object did not slow down at all, and plunged headlong into the water.

The huge impact force set off a huge tsunami, which hit the shore and washed away a qiē facility dozens of meters near the beach.

"What's that?" the staff of the Space Development Agency was wondering what this thing that fell from the sky when the phone rang.

The object stood up from the water, and it turned out to be a silver-gray monster covered in silver.

The people who saw the monster fled as soon as possible, and only some important parts of the staff remained at work, and some important facilities were closed, but they were also ready to flee at any time.

The monster waded knee-high water towards the shore, and he kicked the two tall buildings in the way into the air. He stepped over the burning ruins and walked straight to the energy storage tank.

Feiyan No. 1 finally arrived here, before Dagu and Xincheng discovered this monster, they immediately rushed to this side, and finally arrived before the monster destroyed the energy reserve tank.

"The UFO before was this monster," Dagu said as he unwound up all the weapon systems on the Feiyan One.

The Flying Swallow One made an arc and came to the side of the monster, and the monster was startled by the Flying Swallow One flying in front of him, but then ignored it and continued to destroy the facilities and houses that stood in the way.

Several lasers were fired from Feiyan 1 and hit the monster's back, but only a few sparks were scattered, and the monster continued to move forward and destroy.

"Damn, the defense is too high, Feiyan One can't deal with this monster at all. Xincheng, who was sitting in the back and operating the weapon, hammered the chair hatefully.

"Hum", a familiar engine sound came to the ears of Xincheng and Dagu, and they turned their eyes in surprise, and sure enough, the huge body of Feiyan 2 flew through the clouds and mist.

"Listen up and attack from the front of that guy. Munakata examined the shape and devised a tactic.

"Understood!"

The two Swifts flew side by side, turned in front of the monsters, and attacked the monsters that were still wreaking havoc.

Several lasers and several missiles accurately hit the monster, and the flames almost swallowed the monster into it, and the monster was even more sparkling, and the huge impact made the monster take a few steps back.

But the monster didn't care about Feiyan's attack at all, but bent down, and the sharp tips of its claws stabbed fiercely at the energy storage tank, and the hard reinforced concrete outer layer was lightly torn apart, revealing the blue energy storage tank inside.

The monster looked a little excited, shook its body against the Feiyan's laser and missile, and with a force of both arms, the tips of its claws stabbed into the energy storage tank, and the liquid energy flowed out through the gap, and quickly vaporized and dissipated into the air.

But the energy soon stopped flowing, and the monster's claws quickly absorbed the energy in the reserve tank, and in just a while, the energy reserve tank had bottomed out.

The monster sucked up all the energy, its body trembled, the armor on the surface of its body was a little dark, but now it became very bright, and the gaps between the scales and armor became undetectable.

"Activate the automatic defense system DCS immediately," said the director of the energy storage center who had been observing the behavior of the monsters, anxiously, "and we must keep the energy storage tank." ”

"Understood!" Several people immediately rushed to their posts, and with their concerted efforts, the defense system DCS was quickly activated.

The monster was about to make its way to the next energy storage tank when several tall white poles scattered around it rose up and emitted electric light in both directions. More than a dozen tall poles were connected together in an instant, and the electric light reflected on the monster's face, turning the monster blue.

The monster shook its head to look at the electromagnetic network formed by the defense system DCS, and the transparent light bulb-like thing on its head suddenly flashed with light.

The defense system that was supposed to be functioning suddenly stopped, and no matter how much the technicians fiddled with it, it couldn't be restarted.

The monster swung its huge claws and slammed into the other energy storage tank, and the outer layer of cement immediately shattered. The monster repeated its old trick to absorb the energy of this energy storage tank.

The two Feiyan were desperately attacking the monster, and they could still get a little result before, but after the monster absorbed two cans of energy, it could no longer cause any damage to the monster.

The monster walked towards the last two storage tanks, breaking the outer layer of cement and inserting it into the energy tank, and to the monster's surprise, no energy was absorbed by him, and his limited brain couldn't understand why. I knocked on the energy tank without giving up, but there was still no energy.

The monster shook its head and walked towards the last energy storage tank, but it was still like this, and there was not a trace of energy in the storage tank, and Feiyan II opened its belly when the monster leaned over and stabbed its claws into the energy tank.

"Texas beam fired!" With an order from Munakata, a thick beam of light hit the monster.
