Chapter 248 Odos Galaxy
At the 158th docking port, the standard [Dust Star] spacecraft followed instructions and slowly took off, spewing out blazing flames, heading towards the huge star gate in the distance.
The Odos Galaxy is a frontier galaxy of Guixing. Passing the Odos Galaxy is a long belt of void space, space turbulence, dark matter tides...all kinds of cosmic disasters can be encountered in it.
No one would go into the void space belt, so no one was interested in the Odos galaxy.
The Ordos galaxy itself has only eight planets, only one life planet, and only one mineral star, but it is an iron ore of little value, and no one is willing to mine it.
As for other planets, they are all very barren and belong to impoverished galaxies, which is why Guixing has not deployed any escort fleets there.
Because there is nothing worth defending, the predators are too lazy to come.
The governor of the Ordos system is named Gary Weddle. Although he has no future, he is extremely comfortable.
Early in the morning, he arrived at the consul's residence under guard and accepted everyone's respectful gazes. He let the staff handle today's government affairs, while he went to his office and sat down, admiring the sunlight outside the window.
Then he took a book from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table.
This is a book written in the Ordos language with beautiful words.
He decided that this would be today's pastime to kill the long and boring time.
In the interstellar age, in order to save unnecessary manufacturing and transportation costs, almost all entertainment and art books are electronic versions.
However, within these small galaxies, interstellarization is seriously insufficient, the level of technology is relatively backward, and physical books are more popular.
The slim secretary walked over and took out a jar filled with dried purple-red plant leaves and scooped out exactly half a spoonful.
Pour it into a cup and then brew it with hot water. The leaves in the cup slowly unfold and turn into a purple-red liquid.
This is a refreshing drink and a favorite specialty drink of the Ordos people.
Gary took a sip of his drink, groaned comfortably, glanced at his secretary with seductive eyes, bowed his head and signaled, the secretary immediately got under the desk and started working.
Gary opened the book in his hand. As a long-standing classic work by Ordos, the principles contained in it made him frown from time to time, then relax, and occasionally groan in enlightenment.
Gary is not young, but after several gene optimization surgeries and gene chain fusion, he looks like a middle-aged man.
Ordos's decadent life has eroded his former ambitions.
Rather than showing off his prowess among the stars, he prefers to randomly select the hottest stars on Ordos at night.
Or together...
With a long sigh of relief, Gary put down the classical masterpiece, took a sip of tea, and thought about the predators that had recently appeared in the Ordos system.
Who knows why those interstellar mice set their sights on this little, obscure galaxy.
At this time, a member of the staff team hurried into the room and reported: "Your Excellency, the top leaders just sent a notice that support has been sent to us, and asked us to pay attention to the connection. Here are the detailed information."
Gary's expression changed slightly, and the secretary came out from under the table with his head down. The team members were already used to it and handed over the information.
Gary lowered his head and looked through it carefully...but his expression became more and more ugly, and finally he threw the information hard on the table.
"What kind of support is this? A B-level life form and a group of logistical firewood soldiers. What use is this!"
Gary cursed loudly. Although the Ordos galaxy was relatively barren, at least it could produce a Class B life form.
The captain of the Ordos Self-Defense Force is a Class B life form. Not long ago, he died heroically in the resistance against the plunderers.
It was also because of his heroic counterattack that some of the plunderers were temporarily repelled, winning a brief peace for them.
"Archon, this Class B life form is unusual." The staff member reminded, his face looking very unhappy.
Gary was a little confused. He just glanced at it and didn't look at it carefully. After hearing the staff officer's reminder, he looked at it carefully again, and his pupils suddenly contracted:
"Is it the winner of the Golden Cross Medal——Li Yu!?"
"Are they using Ordos as a trap to ambush those two A-level life forms!?" Gary reacted instantly. As a consul, his sense of smell was not too dull.
Li Yu is now at the center of public attention. Leaving the central galaxy would be courting death, unless he has other purposes.
"It's probably like this..." The staff members nodded heavily. They also thought so.
Gary was furious. This meant that he had been abandoned. He subconsciously wanted to protest to the higher-ups, but a feeling of powerlessness came over him.
I'm afraid this cannot be changed.
…
Six days later, Li Yu drove the spaceship to the Ordos galaxy.
Landed at a military parking lot on the main planet of Ordos and parked directly on the surface. Ordos does not have a spaceport.
Ordos had basically cleared the parking space, and a group of people were waiting at the dock early.
The hatch opened and Li Yu walked out with his guard team. This trip was quite dangerous. Although he was sure of his own safety, the same could not be said for others.
So he did not bring his own people, only the guards provided by Guixing.
The welcoming leader straightened his clothes, walked up with an elegant smile, and extended his hand to shake hands.
"Baron Li Yu, I am Ronan, Chief of Staff, and I welcome you on behalf of Ordos."
"Hello." Li Yu shook hands with him.
"Upon learning of your arrival, His Excellency the Governor originally wanted to accompany you in person, but unfortunately, he really couldn't spare the schedule, so I will be responsible for receiving you. Please don't mind." Ronan said in a proper tone.
In fact, this was just an excuse. Gary believed that Ordos would be finished sooner or later, and he was too lazy to play along with Li Yu and did not want to come out to greet him.
In Gary's opinion, Li Yu might be very powerful, but he is not an A-level life form after all. The reason he was able to withstand the attack last time was only through some special means.
Although he was awarded the Gold Cross, it was only by coincidence. As a consul of orthodox origin, Gary looked down on Li Yu in his heart.
And now he is treated as a discarded pawn by the top management, being used to fish for fish. He has no value at all and is not worth his appearance.
"Your resting place is ready, please follow me." Ronan's attitude was very respectful and impeccable.
On the way, Li Yu asked Ronan about the details of the raider attack.
"The specific information has been prepared for you..." Ronan took out a paper document bag, which made Li Yu stunned for a moment and felt a little emotional.
Judging from the experience of the battle with Ordos, this group of plunderers only had six or seven small warships, and their overall strength was relatively low. They even suffered serious losses due to their heroic resistance.
Li Yu's expression gradually became strange. This should be the other party's disguise to avoid attracting more attention.
Otherwise, how could it be forced back by a Class B life form?
Paying special attention to the locations where the predators appeared, Li Yu asked Xiao Chaonao to enter the local network of Ordos.
In the interstellar network, Xiao Chaonao was still a little restricted, but in the local network of Odos, it didn't take too long for Xiao Chaonao to take over the entire network.
"Master, Governor Gary is holding a party at home with many people, including some of Odos's most popular actresses and actors."
Xiao Chaonao made an additional discovery. The surveillance video appeared on his retina. The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched. It was so irritating to the eyes that he didn't pay much attention to it.
This consul seemed to have given up on himself. This state had lasted for a long time. According to Little Noisy's records, it seemed to have started seven days ago...
Uh...wasn't that when I set off? Li Yu was a little embarrassed. Could it be that this old man started to despair after he came?
Putting this issue aside, Xiao Chaonao found some abnormal records.
For example, the largest volcano on the planet Ordos, Enzog Volcano, has recently seen some frequent geothermal activity.
According to experts, it will erupt soon, and it will be the largest eruption in history.
There are also places like the Kru Basin and the West White Canyon, which have unique geological activities.
At the same time, these places are also where the Ordos officials suspected of discovering predators' activities.
At the Ordos official guesthouse, Ronan left Li Yu here and left immediately, taking everyone with him, not even leaving a host behind.
"What's Odos' attitude!?" The captain of the guard was furious. He was a young man full of vigor and vitality.
He admired Li Yu's previous deeds very much and took the initiative to lead the team here to serve as guards.
Now seeing Odos's perfunctory attitude towards Li Yu, he was naturally extremely angry.
"Daniel, calm down..." Li Yu didn't care about it. He came as bait, and Odos was about to become a battlefield. It would be strange if Odos had a good attitude towards him.
Odos was able to guess his purpose, and he was not surprised. The planet's ruling body was a huge organization, and it was normal to have smart people.
"Yes...Sir." No matter how angry Daniel was, he had to obey Li Yu's orders and lowered his head to inspect the guesthouse.
…
In the space orbit of Ordos, a huge warship is hidden in the void.
In the cabin, a large number of staff members came and went in a hurry, sophisticated instruments were running non-stop, and the entire virtual projection of Ordos was fully displayed.
David frowned, and there was a flash of scarlet in the depths of his eyes, as if it was some kind of lens. He stared at the virtual projection in front of him.
At this moment, a subordinate came to report in a hurry, saying loudly:
"Sir, the spaceship that just landed on the surface of Ordos has been confirmed to be Li Yu's spaceship."
"Li Yu?" David instantly retrieved the corresponding information of this name from the database. The large amount of information intertwined, causing his brain wave activity to surge.
"You really know how to pick a place. You treat this place as a battlefield." He also guessed the intention of Gui Xing's move, and his face suddenly turned unsightly.
He didn't want to attract too much attention here, but judging from the current situation, this place would soon become the most eye-catching place in Guixing.
"Shoot those idiots. The technology on this planet is so backward, yet they can still be discovered!" David scolded again.
If the idiots under his command were discovered by Odos and a few battles were fought, causing the other party to send out a call for help, how could this galaxy with no sense of existence be chosen?
"Yes!" The subordinate was startled and hurried away. Then he heard David's order: "Move the warships away from Ordos for the time being. Even if it is a battlefield, we must be the final winners!"
The huge warship slowly emerged from the void, gradually entered optical invisibility, and gradually moved away from Ordos.
…
"Daniel, I have to go out for something." Li Yu called Daniel over. Seeing that he was ready to pack his things, Li Yu added, "I'll go by myself, you don't have to go."
"But I'm your guard..." Daniel wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Yu: "I have a secret mission, so I can only go alone."
Daniel felt aggrieved, but didn't say anything else.
"If someone comes looking for me..." Li Yu was thinking, but before he could finish his words, he heard Daniel coldly say, "Just kick them out."
"With Odos's attitude, there's no need to find excuses to deal with them."
Li Yu smiled and patted Daniel on the shoulder. With the [Titan Colonial Suit] attached to his entire body and optical invisibility, he flew out of the guesthouse.
Enzog Volcano, the largest volcano on Ordos, has a crater diameter of 65 kilometers and covers an area of 9,000 square kilometers. Once it erupts, half of the planet Ordos will be covered in thick smoke.
Li Yu was cautious to avoid being discovered by the exploration team of the Star Empire. He did not find any traces of the other party near the volcano, only some signs of the use of machinery left behind.
After exploring the surroundings for a long time, Li Yu jumped directly into the crater.
There was no burning sensation, and he even felt a little comfortable. His own gene chain was extremely friendly to magma.
An hour later, Li Yu stood in the magma with a strange expression on his face. Under him was bronze metal with intricate patterns engraved on it. It covered a large area, and at a glance, there was almost no end to it.
This pattern is very similar to the pattern on the Titan treasure chest, and it is obviously the so-called Titan ruins.
"This... is too easy..." Li Yu was a little confused. He thought that the Titan ruins would require a lot of decryption and exploration to find, but could they be found so easily?
After spending some more time, Li Yu roughly figured out the coverage of this bronze metal, which was almost half of the coverage of the Enzog volcano.
He couldn't find any entrance, not even a keyhole. The thing was like a whole piece of metal plate, nothing new about it.
There are no traces of metal structures extending downward, which makes people puzzled.
His only gain was the discovery of several monitoring instruments left behind by the exploration team, which were flashing red lights.
Avoiding the monitoring equipment, Li Yu always felt something strange. It was too coincidental that he found the Titan ruins in the first place he came to.
Moreover, the exploration team didn’t even leave anyone to observe, only a few instruments. Are they so careless?
Could it be... He guessed in his mind and had a guess...
Based on this speculation, he immediately left the Enzog Volcano and headed to several other places where strange geological activities had occurred and where predators were suspected to have appeared.
