Chapter 561: Finishing Work
"But the light and shadow dimensions have collapsed, so the laboratories in them may be difficult to preserve, right?" Feren said.
Hearing this, Cordelli could not help but express disdain again: "Use your walnut-sized brain to think about it. The Abyss Research Institute is an interstellar organization on par with us."
"You don't think they have an emergency evacuation plan?"
Feren glared at the Q-version giant, and he became furious. This was also the origin of the small conflict between the two.
Kodri considered himself clever and looked down on fools, and dwarves were known to be reckless, so he had always been unhappy with Faerun.
Although Feren was rather reckless, he could sense Codry's contempt and had no good feelings towards this guy.
"Both of you shut up..." Yasini felt a headache and looked at Li Yu who had been silent.
"Li Yu, what do you think?"
There was no response. Li Yu's eyes were blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Sir?" Yasini's expression was slightly condensed, and he looked around vigilantly, thinking that Li Yu had fallen into some ambushes.
As soon as he was about to touch it, he felt a terrifying threat.
"Don't touch... Yuanshi Tianzun!" The Death Star's dull voice sounded, and its mechanical pupils had locked onto Yasini.
This is a warning. If there are any further actions, he will kill any possible threats.
“Yes, yes…” Yasini broke out in a cold sweat and quickly pulled back, explaining, “I just saw that his eyes were dazed, and I was worried that he might have an accident.”
"Wait a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun will wake up by himself." said the Death Star.
"Okay..." Yasini let out a long sigh. It was his first time communicating with this terrifying mechanical life form, and he couldn't help but feel a little horrified.
After he came to his senses, he seemed to have realized something and exchanged glances with Cordri.
Why is it so strange for this Death Star to address Li Yu?
Yuanshi Tianzun...What kind of title is this?
Moreover, he vaguely felt that Death Star's tone was quite respectful towards Li Yu.
An A5-level life form standing at the top of the interstellar universe is quite respectful to a three-time genetically evolved being?
It sounds very strange no matter how you listen to it.
Even though this tertiary genome is very special, it should not be addressed in such a respectful manner.
Death Star's two sentences caused some ripples in his mind.
"Hey, Lord Yasini, you..." Li Yu's voice suddenly sounded, and he looked at Yasini with a little confusion.
Because Yasini's current posture is quite strange, with his head slightly lowered, facing the Death Star.
"Nothing, just some misunderstandings." Yasini shook his head.
Li Yu thought about it and roughly understood what was going on.
His consciousness just left his body, so he asked the Death Star to keep an eye on it for him to avoid any accidents.
Yasini apparently noticed something was wrong with him and tried to wake him up, but ended up triggering the Death Star's defense mechanism.
He didn't care about it and smiled: "This matter has come to an end. I will not break my promise to you before."
"Please, choose your spoils..."
Li Yu pointed and saw a large number of planetary fragments and ruins floating in the nearby interstellar space. They were all broken from the planets.
“Uh…” Yasini was stunned and Cordri blinked.
What the hell is there to pick out? What kind of spoils are there?
"I've said before that we won't ask for any conditions in helping us this time. Just consider it as providing convenience for our cooperative allies." Yasini shook his head and emphasized.
Looking at the ruins before our eyes, even if we could find some residual information from a few abandoned experimental bases, it would probably not be of much value.
It would be better to do them a favor, since they have only put in some energy anyway.
Li Yu actually understood this, but he didn't mean to trick the other party on purpose.
But the light and shadow dimension has collapsed, and the research base within it has also been destroyed, and there is nothing valuable at the scene.
But I still have to make some gesture, after all, I had promised the other party before.
But Yasini obviously does not want to define this help as a transaction, but rather prefers to turn it into a favor.
Favors can be big or small, it all depends on how Li Yu understands it.
"Okay..." Li Yu shrugged and didn't have much opinion.
While the two sides were talking, several black warships of the Twelve Golden Immortals disappeared here silently.
Although Codry noticed it, he didn't care. The battle here was over, and it didn't matter to them what Li Yu sent people to do.
"By the way, we just talked about that although we were successful this time, the Abyss Research Institute should have obtained the data on dimensional fusion. We still have to be careful of their counterattack next." Yasini said.
He was a little worried. The alien camp was mysterious and powerful. Even if the Abyss Research Institute wanted to counterattack, it would have no way to retaliate.
It is indeed a bit ridiculous that the only target can be set as the return star.
But their Ark of Savior is different. If the Abyss Research Institute makes a comeback, they will probably be the first to be targeted.
If you think about it this way, Yasini is actually a little dissatisfied.
Li Yu got the greatest benefit for himself, but pushed the Ark of Salvation into the fire pit.
Li Yu acted calmly about this and said, "Don't worry, sir. We will handle this matter."
"If the Abyss Research Institute really has mastered the advanced dimensional fusion technology and makes a comeback, we will take revenge on you."
"I...will never agree to it!"
Li Yu's words were sonorous and decisive. Regardless of whether they were true or not, at least this attitude made Yasini feel a little relieved.
"Your words make me feel much more relieved."
Li Yu chuckled twice. That was because the Abyss Research Institute could not get any experimental data at all.
…
In an unknown star field, the void twisted and a peculiarly shaped spaceship appeared here. It was shuttle-shaped as a whole, with almost no gaps on the metal shell. It was not a conventional spaceship.
At this moment, its engine was emitting blue smoke, and some of the metal shells on both sides of the spacecraft also had considerable damage.
Inside the spacecraft, Sagula's hair was disheveled and she seemed to have experienced severe shaking. Alarms kept flashing on the operating screen.
A senior researcher staggered to his feet from the corner, struggled to the screen, turned off the alarm, and checked carefully. After a moment, he spoke:
"Doctor, the shuttle was affected by the aftermath of the collapse of the light and shadow dimension and did not appear at the designated location. The shuttle engine has been damaged. We should still be inside the Baltan Galaxy..."
"The exact location still needs to be determined by the spacecraft system."
Migrating large amounts of data takes time, so they miss the best time to leave.
When they were halfway through the journey, the light and shadow dimension exploded and they were affected. Fortunately, the dimensional shuttle was expensive and extremely sturdy.
This situation was taken into consideration during the construction, and only the engine was damaged, while they themselves were not affected.
"Wait... No, according to the system detection, the shuttle engine's 74th energy node is damaged..." The senior researcher's expression changed slightly: "But this energy node is inside the spacecraft ..."
"His energy nodes 75, 76, and even after 80 are not damaged..."
"Until after Node 95, they are close to the outside and are therefore susceptible to energy waves..."
"…But why was No. 74 damaged for no apparent reason?"
Upon hearing this, Sagula frowned and walked to the operation page while suppressing his discomfort. It was just as the researcher said.
"…If we exclude extremely accidental influences, the only possibility is that someone is sabotaging from the inside." The senior researcher made his own speculation.
Subconsciously, Sagula looked at Polier in the corner, but this guy had fallen into a deep sleep, his body filled with inhibitors. How could he possibly destroy the propulsion engine?
"Doctor!" the researcher suddenly exclaimed, staring at the spaceship sub-page.
"I checked the system log... Just when the propulsion engine was damaged and we were all trapped in the space vortex and unable to maintain our stability, someone accessed the positioning location..."
"...and stayed in the orbit prediction system for a long time, as if..."
"Estimate the landing point!" Sagula looked cold, and then turned on the spacecraft video.
Due to the influence of the space vortex just now, the spacecraft's video is a little blurry, but it can still be seen clearly.
But they were the only ones tossing and turning in the spaceship and screaming in pain, but there was nothing unusual about Polier.
"No, zoom in!" Sagula stared at the holographic screen, and then his pupils contracted. He saw that in the enlarged video, the operation page of the spacecraft was actually turning by itself.
"It must be him!" the senior researcher exclaimed, pointing at Boller.
"He was clearly injected with a mental suppressant. This mechanical device also has a mental shielding function, which should be able to block abilities like telekinesis." Sakula couldn't figure it out:
"How could he not be affected?"
"Hurry up and contact the headquarters and ask them to pick us up..."
"Okay, but the shuttle's signal system has been affected by the electromagnetic storm and is still being reset. It will take some time..."
"...No, it's too late to ask them to pick up...We have to connect directly to the headquarters remotely. I'll transfer the experimental data first..."
Sakula's eyes flickered, and he immediately took out...
Suddenly, her movements froze. Where was the thing?
Where's her space compression device!?
She put the USB drive containing the dimensional fusion data into her encrypted space compression device and hid it carefully.
But... why is it gone now?
Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she took two steps at a time and walked to Boller. She took a deep breath, suddenly raised her right leg, tensed her muscles, and kicked him directly in the temple.
The clear sound of bones breaking was heard, and all the senior researchers present couldn't help but move their throats.
Sagoula ordered in a deep voice: "Search all over the shuttle and find a silver-white diamond-shaped space compression device!"
"yes……"
All the researchers present did not dare to say anything, and the only few security personnel who had the chance to come up had already started to act.
Under their command, everyone began to search for the shuttle in an orderly manner.
"I should have killed you long ago!"
Sagula gritted his teeth and stared at Boller's body. He thought he was fully prepared and would take Boller with him to report to the task, so as to avoid the angry Abyss from implicating other researchers.
Unexpectedly, the person who controlled Polier had methods far beyond his imagination.
However, they had just been in a space vortex, so even if the other party got his space compression device, it would be impossible for them to send it out directly.
So that thing must still be in this spaceship.
"Doctor, the communication system has been restored. I have contacted the headquarters. They have located the location and are sending people over!"
The senior researcher standing in front of the operating table said excitedly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the entire shuttle suddenly vibrated.
The internal stabilizing gyroscopes had been damaged in the space vortex, and they were immediately tossed up and down, hitting the walls in various places.
But this situation did not last long and soon stabilized.
Everyone was in a panic and huddled in a corner, not knowing what was happening.
They are all researchers and their psychological quality is not high.
After a moment, a creaking sound of metal twisting was heard, and the shuttle's cabin wall was torn apart, with the upper part completely torn open, allowing white light to shine in.
They were not in outer space, but seemed to be in some kind of transport ship.
Then, a huge mechanical head poked in, its pupils contracted and spun, startling everyone, and said:
"Under Yuanshi Tianzun's seat, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals - Jade Ding Zhenren, obeys Tianzun's order and brings Dr. Sagula back!"
Jade Ding Zhenren's huge mechanical pupil locked onto Sagula, and the magnetic adsorption device started working. The body of Polier next to him flew up and fell into his hands.
Then, a small spider-like mechanical body climbed onto his arm, and extended a tiny mechanical arm into Polir's clothes, and took out a silver-white diamond-shaped device .
Sagoula's face suddenly changed: "My space compression device, I should have thought of it earlier..."
After putting away the diamond-shaped device, Yu Ding looked at Sagula again.
"Dr. Sakula, Yuanshi Tianzun wants to see you, come with me..."
Yu Ding extended his mechanical hand again, and Sagula flew out of the shuttle uncontrollably.
After she fell, she realized... there were several similar large mechanical bodies around her, each of them was staring at her.
Although they are machines, for some reason, Sagula feels that... their eyes are like those of real people.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, who is that?" Sagula looked around with a solemn expression.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, it's Yuanshi Tianzun..." Jade Ding Zhenren said nonsense.
Sakula immediately realized that he would not be able to get any useful information from these mechanical bodies.
