Chapter 578: Xiquan Prison
"How? Can this interstellar door be opened? In the cockpit, Liu Nian Feng asked Xue Long, who was staying in the fish tank.
After a long voyage of 12 hours, the Galactic Fleet arrived at the Xiquan Stargate without danger, but as reported by the Xili, the Xiquan Stargate became empty up and down...... Not even a single corpse.
This made Liu Nianfeng wonder in his heart, where did the staff of this interstellar gate go?
If they were killed by the Star Beast, but there was no reason for the Star Beast not to destroy this Star Gate? And the entire Stargate doesn't make sense, and you can't even find a trace of the battle!
But if these staff members left on their own, why did the families of these staff members take the initiative to find Marshal Xiye, saying that none of the staff members had returned and resumed contact?
And even if it is an emergency evacuation, then according to the work process, it is necessary to leave some relevant work logs, so that the personnel who arrive later can understand the situation of Stargate in detail...... But none of these things were there, and it was as if the staff had disappeared into thin air.
"It can be opened!" After some work, Xue Long nodded and said, "The entire Stargate is in a completely normal state, and all related mechanism components are also functioning normally." It's just that it takes about ten hours for the antimatter engine to start to the energy that can support the stability of the wormhole. ”
"Ten hours?" Liu Nianfeng hesitated a little, in this dangerous fallen area, and stayed in this extremely conspicuous interstellar gate for ten hours, Liu Nianfeng had to have a crisis and came out. If you encounter a star beast at this time, it will be a big trouble.
But he has already arrived at his destination, and if he doesn't even open the interstellar door and leaves like this, it will be too cowardly. Besides, those prisoners may still be waiting for rescue from outside, how can they watch more than 80,000 lives end like this?
"Admiral, you can order all warships to remain in normal cruising and cruise around the entire Stargate, leaving only one destroyer to protect the staff to activate the Stargate! At a critical time, you can also take these staff members to escape and catch up with our main fleet! ”
"In addition, we should also expand the warning range to about 20 million kilometers in diameter, so that if a star beast approaches, we can still have half an hour to enter the state of superluminal sailing, so that even if we encounter a star beast, they will not be able to catch up with us!" Avria suggested to Liu Nianfeng.
"What about the destroyer in charge of the vigilance?" Liu Nianfeng hesitated for a moment and asked, "We have time to enter the superluminal state, but once those destroyers are discovered by the star beasts, they will not have time to enter the superluminal state!" ”
"Know how to give up when it matters, my Majesty the Admiral!" Avellia said lightly, "Compared with the safety of the main fleet, compared to the life of the Admiral, what are one or two destroyers?" ”
"......" Avelia's words are not wrong, and it is a matter of course to give up the small and the big at the critical time. But all the starship girls of Liu Nian Feng have a very deep relationship with Liu Nian Feng, and Liu Nian Feng doesn't want to give up even if she is a destroyer starship girl, these are all starship girls who followed her from Zhiyuan Star!
"You can send destroyers to expand the detection range, and as for the next thing, let's talk about it when it happens!" Liu Nian Feng waved her hand and said, but there was a little disappointment in Avria's eyes, she saw that Liu Nian Feng did not have that ruthless heart.
After some discussion with Chen Shihan, all the destroyers were sent out, forming a 2,000-kilometer large-scale reconnaissance three-dimensional sphere, and Liu Nianfeng, who was in the center, could only wait patiently for the Stargate to resume its working state.
After another period of incomparably long waiting, the antimatter engine of the stargate emitted brighter and brighter light, and the originally closed door began to slowly open, and a trembling wormhole passage appeared in front of everyone.
"Report to the Admiral, the interstellar gate is fully open and ready to enter!" Xue Long happily reported to Liu Nianfeng.
"Snow Dragon, immediately check the situation at the other end of the wormhole, see if the stargate on the other side of the wormhole is in working condition, can you get in touch with them, and reach the ore planet through the stargate!" Liu Nianfeng said quickly.
"Communication is ongoing...... That's great...... We've managed to get in touch with the other side, and the stargate on the other side is still in working order! ”
"Admiral, the other party took the initiative to send a message to us, and the other party asked us why they were about to run out of food after waiting for three months for supplies this time!"
The news of the snow dragon came quickly, and the positive reply from the other side was equivalent to telling Liu Nian Feng that the ore planet on the other side of the stargate was still in a state of ignorance, and they didn't know that a large-scale battle had broken out, and they didn't know that all the humans in the vicinity had retreated, and they were still waiting for supplies from the outside world.
In this way, everyone on this planet should be in a normal state, and they are all alive!
"Immediately order all the scouting destroyers to return to the West Spring Star Gate, Shihan, you lead your fleet to guard the entrance to this Star Gate, and by the way, approach the destroyers who will return later. I'll lead the fleet into Xiquan Prison and take a look at the situation first! Liu Nianfeng said to Chen Shihan.
"Good! Be careful! Chen Shihan said happily, Liu Nianfeng nodded, and led his fleet into the interstellar gate.
——————————————
"Welcome! Welcome! You're finally here...... Why did so many warships come? "When Liu Nianfeng's fleet arrived at the Xiquan Prison at the other end of the West Spring Star Gate, they received a warm welcome from the staff of the Star Gate on the other side.
It's just that when the second battleship, and more battleships arrived from the stargate, the voice on the other side obviously became extremely surprised, and I don't know how so many battleships appeared.
However, the other party's reaction was normal, after all, according to the regulations, there can only be one warship responsible for transportation in the prison, and now there are more than ten warships in one go, of course, these staff will feel at a loss, I don't know what to do!
"I'm not a transport ship to transport personnel and supplies to you here, I'm a starship girl under Admiral Chen Shihan, to tell you the truth, when you were trapped in Xiquan Prison, a large-scale battle of star beast invasion had broken out outside, and it was already a fallen area outside, we were the fleet sent by the Governor's Mansion to take you to safety, you now open the dock of the starport and let our warships dock!" Liu Nianfeng said to these staff members in the Star Gate.
"What! It's already a fallen area outside!! The staff at Stargate were obviously taken aback by the news, and some of them were so frightened that they even rolled out of their chairs, and Liu Nian Feng could hear the sound of something falling from the other end of the communication.
"Hmph, calm down, you are also imperial soldiers, aren't you the occupied area? We have come to rescue you, you all keep me calm, and invite the warden of Xiquan Prison to come over, and we, Major General Chen Shihan, want to talk to her! Liu Nianfeng said unceremoniously in the communication.
The warden of Xiquan Prison is actually a star admiral, but this star admiral is at most a lieutenant-level admiral, and in the face of Chen Shihan's rank of major general, of course, it can't be compared, and Liu Nianfeng can also talk to these people with a rather unceremonious attitude.
"This ...... Please wait a minute...... Our warden is taking care of something, and she'll be there soon...... Please wait a little! The Stargate staff said.
"Hmph, then open the starport for me and let my battleship dock!" Liu Nian Feng said again.
"This ...... Please also wait a little longer, the permission to open the dock is in the hands of the warden, we don't have the permission to open it! The staff said again, as a result, he had obviously entered the other end of the interstellar gate, and also arrived outside the starport at the base of Xiquan Prison, but he could only wait outside, which made Liu Nianfeng a little unhappy!
However, the speed of this prison warden came quite quickly, and after about ten minutes or so, the gate of the starport pier slowly opened, and the mooring bolt was also raised, and all the star warships under the command of Liu Nian Feng docked at these docks one by one, and a woman in a neat military uniform, with a few characters who were about her starship girls behind her, also waited at the exit of the scabbard, and when she saw Liu Nian Feng, she stood up on the spot, and performed a standard military salute, "Humble Xiquan Prison Warden, Lieutenant Admiral Sakura Ting has seen Major General Chen Shihan in the white night! ”
"Ahem!" Liu Nianfeng shook the admiral's hand a little embarrassedly, and then said with a smile, "Admiral Sakura White Night, you are mistaken, I am not Admiral Chen Shihan, I am Liu Xuanyuan, a starship girl under Admiral Chen Shihan, and our Admiral is still patrolling at the other end of the interstellar gate." ”
"What! Admiral Chen Shihan, she is still outside? Sakura Bai Ye, along with the two or three starship girls behind him, said in shock at the same time.
"What's so strange about that!" Liu Nianfeng smiled, "The outside is the Fall Zone, and the Star Gate is our only exit, in order to ensure the safety of the exit, Admiral She decided to guard the outside by herself, and let lead a part of the fleet to meet you and the criminals in the prison." ”
"So now without further ado, please go and gather the prison staff quickly, and then take all the criminals on board, so I can take you out of here!"
"This ...... This ......" Sakuraba Baiye showed a hesitant expression, and finally shook his head a little embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid this is a little difficult!" ”
