Volume 3 Chapter 120: Space Pirates in the Chaos Star Region
There was a loud bang.
Nanzhu rushed to the front and kicked in the air.
Along with this kick, a huge fox tail shadow passed through the sky and directly swept down all the armed machines in the sky.
For a moment, the sky was filled with falling armed machines and various parts with sparks flashing.
Lin Xu and his group quickly crossed the sky and rushed directly into the airport.
"Mr. Sai, who are they? They look so strong." Odell asked Sai Donggu cautiously.
In response, Sai Donggu just forced a smile.
The two of them were flying in flying vehicles, and their speed was not slow, at least they could keep up with Lin Xu and others.
As soon as they entered the airport, they saw the spaceship they had taken, which was now locked on the slipway by huge heavy machinery and could not be moved at all.
Such a thing had been anticipated by the two men, so when they first learned that Lin Xu and his companions were going to return to the airport to retrieve the spacecraft, they expressed their opposition.
But unfortunately, the two of them had no say at all, so they had no choice but to continue acting together with Lin Xu and others.
It was not until they actually rushed into the airport and saw that their spaceship was locked that they both showed an expression of "as expected".
Then he followed Lin Xu and others and found the location of the Skylark.
"Why isn't your spaceship locked?" Odell asked in confusion.
"Maybe we disguised it well." Lin Xu said with a smile.
In fact, it was Yinghuo that invaded the port's database through nanorobots and erased the record of the Skylark when it entered the port before. Now the port is still urgently recovering the data, and it will not be discovered for a while that the Skylark is the spaceship that Lin Xu and others are riding on.
"Okay, okay , you all come up too. We still have empty seats on our boat." Nanzhu invited enthusiastically.
"Mr. Sai, we can really leave smoothly." Odell happily jumped while grabbing Sai Donggu's sleeve.
Saidonggu also showed a happy expression on the surface, but he was actually still secretly alert.
In this way, everyone boarded the Skylark and entered the cockpit.
Then the Skylark began to slowly withdraw from the port.
In an instant, throughout the entire port, the alarm that had just begun to sound when Lin Xu and others invaded became even louder.
At the same time, in the military port on the other side of the star ring in the distance, a large number of warships were leaving the port and heading towards this side, as if they were going to intercept the Skylark.
"It's a fleet. The fleet has indeed set out." Sai Donggu saw the scene in the distance through the porthole, with a solemn look on his face.
He turned around and wanted to remind Lin Xu and the others, but saw that they didn't care at all. For a moment, he didn't even know what to say.
I know you are very powerful, but that is a fleet. Even though it is not the entire fleet that was dispatched, but only a few warships, they are not something that a small spaceship like this can defeat.
"Have they surrounded them? Does anyone want to deal with them?" Lin Xu asked.
For such a small situation, Lin Xu didn't want to use the autonomous mechanical aggregate in his personal space, as it would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Of course, if no one wants to do it, then Lin Xu will do it himself.
"Let me do it." Mu Xiyue spoke first, perhaps because she saw that Lin Xu wanted to take action.
After all, in her opinion, if Lin Xu had to do such a small matter personally, it would be a dereliction of duty on her part.
So Mu Xiyue turned around and left the cockpit, and appeared in the void of the universe a moment later.
"She, why did she go out? What is she doing?" Odell pointed at Mu Xiyue outside the porthole with a look of surprise.
"Why doesn't she even wear protective clothing? This is the universe." Sai Donggu asked puzzled.
Then the next moment, the two saw that Mu Xiyue's body was suddenly bright, and a hundred-meter-long boat shadow enveloped her.
That was the hundred-meter-long flying boat that was produced on Earth for Mu Xiyue.
Then the flying boat carried Mu Xiyue's figure and moved rapidly in the universe, and in the blink of an eye it was close to the warships that came to surround the Skylark.
Immediately afterwards, beams of sword energy shot out from the flying boat, and continuous explosions sounded. One warship after another was blown to pieces outside the airport.
When the Skylark had sailed out of the range of the debris, Mu Xiyue returned to the cockpit.
Saidonggu and Odile's mouths opened wide in surprise, but they didn't close.
The two of them looked at Mu Xiyue as if they were looking at some alien monster.
In particular, the two of them recognized that what Mu Xiyue had just used was the power of the God-given particles.
It turns out that the God-given particles can actually burst out with such powerful force? Even on the front battlefield, they can directly compete with warships?
Although they had been practicing the God-given particles for a long time, they only thought that the God-given particles gave intelligent life the power to fight against mechanical creations, but they never imagined that flesh and blood bodies could actually burst out with the power to destroy warships.
"Okay, let's talk. I have some questions to ask you." Seeing that the Skylark had completely left the airport, Lin Xu said to the two people who were still in shock.
"Please ask me anything. I will not hide anything I can answer." Saidong said with a more serious attitude.
Odell also nodded repeatedly.
"I heard that the God-Given One was also a member of the alliance? Can you tell me what happened later? Why did the God-Given One become a wanted Devourer?" Lin Xu asked.
"Don't you know?" Saidonggu was stunned. He never expected that Lin Xu would ask such a common sense question.
Well, it can’t be said to be common sense, but it is the kind of problem that can be analyzed if you pay a little attention and read some random posts on the Internet.
Although he didn't understand why Lin Xu didn't even know this, since it was not a secret, Sai Donggu had no concerns about talking about it.
"It's betrayal. We, the God-given ones, have been shamefully betrayed by the Alliance." Saidonggu said with a heavy face.
Odell beside her also nodded.
"Tell me in detail." Lin Xu gestured.
"It all started 10,000 years ago when the alliance was established. At the beginning, there were only a few civilizations that signed the treaty with the Galaxy Alliance. It was at that time that the God-Giver joined the alliance and was one of the first signatories of the alliance."
"Later, the alliance continued to expand and promote its ideals, such as racial peace, coexistence of civilizations, and opposition to hegemony. Three thousand years ago, the alliance had expanded to occupy more than half of the galaxy and was officially renamed the Galaxy Alliance. The contradictions that had been covered up by the alliance's continuous development and growth finally broke out at that time."
"As a special group, the God-given ones began to be rejected by ordinary people in the alliance who were unable to sense the God-given particles."
“No one knows why some intelligent life forms can sense the existence of God-given particles, but others cannot.”
"Countless scientists in the alliance have conducted research on the God-given particles."
"From the beginning, scientists in the Alliance tended to believe that the God-given particles were man-made."
"The more we researched, the more we disproved the possibility that the God-given particles were man-made."
"Because the existence of God-given particles has surpassed the limits of what intelligent life can create."
"Some scientists even suspect that the God-given particles contain information from higher dimensions."
“It is the embodiment of some kind of interference of higher dimensions on lower dimensions.”
“It was also from that time that the vast majority of ordinary intelligent life forms began to become increasingly jealous of the few God-given beings who were able to sense the special nature of the God-given particles.”
"Plus, ordinary intelligent life can also master tremendous power through scientific research. Although the God-Given Ones can control the God-Given Particles and do all kinds of magical things, they are no more useful than a battleship on the battlefield. So it is only natural that this special group of God-Given Ones is overthrown by ordinary intelligent life."
As he spoke, Saidonggu even smiled, and it was unclear whether he was mocking himself or those ordinary people who were jealous of God's gifts.
Lin Xu looked at Nanzhu and Mu Xiyue respectively, and then looked at Lu Yao who was still in deep thought. Sai Donggu's words just now indeed contained a huge amount of information.
Scientists can't figure out why only the God-given can sense nanorobots.
But Lin Xu knew, because these people were descendants of human creations.
However, Lin Xu did not expect that scientists had not even researched out the so-called God-given particles, which were actually nanorobots.
Are the scientists in this galaxy even more useless, or are the changes brought about by nanorobots really that great after humans have been upgraded?
Thinking of this, Lin Xu turned around and looked out the window, and saw the airport battleship chasing the Skylark.
According to calculations, the speed of those warships even reached a hundred times the speed of light, and was still accelerating.
The battleships are countless times faster than those of the advanced civilizations in the Milky Way.
From this point of view, it is not that the scientists are useless, but that the nanorobots have really undergone unknown changes after humans have been upgraded.
It can even be said that it is because the scientists here are so outstanding that they can perceive the incredibleness of nanorobots, believe that they cannot be created by intelligent life, and even regard them as gifts from God.
"Are there still many God-given people now?" After understanding the basic information, Lin Xu wanted to know more about the current situation.
"I don't know. No one knows. If a God-Given One really disperses all the God-Given Particles in his body and completely hides himself, no matter how advanced the instruments are, they will not be able to detect him. Moreover, if a God-Given One wants to control the God-Given Particles, he needs to learn it. If he has never learned how to control it, he will not be able to master the God-Given Particles. In the eyes of the Alliance, he is just an ordinary person. So, how many God-Given Ones are hidden among ordinary people? No one knows."
"But if you're asking about the God-given ones who have mastered the power and are hunted by the Alliance, there aren't many of them, and most of them are concentrated on Storm Star."
"Storm Star? What place is that?" Lin Xu asked.
"Storm Star can be regarded as the place with the largest number of God-Given Ones now. It is the base camp of God-Given Ones, and the Elder Council of God-Given Ones is also there." Sai Donggu looked at Lin Xu with confusion in his eyes, but still answered seriously.
Although he didn't understand why Lin Xu didn't even know such basic information, it was not a secret. If you want to know, I'll tell you.
"Can you tell me the coordinates of that Storm Star?" Lin Xu asked.
"I'm sorry, the location of Storm Star is the biggest secret of the God-Giver. The Alliance only knows that Storm Star is somewhere in the Chaos Star Field, but it doesn't know its exact location. Otherwise, Storm Star would have been cleared out long ago and it would not have existed until now. Not to mention, I actually don't know the location of Storm Star. Every time I enter and exit Storm Star, it is the guide who takes me there." Sai Donggu shook his head slowly.
"Oh, so where is the chaotic star field? Can you tell me?" Lin Xu asked.
"Of course, the coordinates of the Chaos Star Region are not a secret." Saidonggu replied.
"Where is the guide? Where can I find him?" After getting the coordinates of the chaotic star field, Lin Xu continued to ask.
"Guides are scattered all over the Chaos Star Domain. There are guides in any larger settlement in the Chaos Star Domain. As long as you reveal your identity as a God-given person and say that you want to go to Storm Star, the guide will naturally take you there. It's very simple! But on the way, you can only stay in the closed cabin and cannot observe how to reach Storm Star." Sai Donggu explained.
"Okay, I understand. That is to say, if I just want to go to Storm Star, I just need to go to the Chaos Star Field and find a guide." Lin Xu nodded to show that he understood.
"Yes, it's very simple." Sai Donggu had something else to say.
As long as you don't have any bad intentions, it is very easy for the God-given to go to Storm Star. Just find a guide, and the guide will naturally take you there.
But if you have other purposes.
"I see. Thank you for your information. What are your plans next? Are you going back to Storm Star?" Lin Xu asked.
"Me? No, we still have our own tasks to complete." Saidonggu shook his head.
"Is that so? All good things must come to an end. Let's separate here. We'll go to the Chaos Star Region, and you guys go do your things. Anyway, we've shaken off the pursuers, and it's safe here." Lin Xu said, looking out the porthole.
"Separate? But we don't have a spaceship." Saidonggu was stunned for a moment and became a little flustered for a moment.
He thought Lin Xu wanted to leave them to fend for themselves in space.
"Of course it's there. I brought your spaceship out for you." Lin Xu said with a smile.
So the next moment, Saidonggu saw that a small spaceship, also about a hundred meters long, suddenly appeared in the space outside the porthole.
It was the spaceship he and Odile were on that was supposed to have been locked in the port.
But wasn't their spaceship locked on the slipway by heavy machinery? How did it end up here?
Saidonggu looked at the familiar spaceship with a dazed expression. He suddenly felt something was unreal because he had experienced too many incredible things today.
Lin Xu didn't intend to explain in detail.
In fact, the matter was not complicated. Before leaving, Lin Xu simply put their spaceship into his personal space.
Now he released the spaceship from the personal space.
The locking of some heavy machinery was no problem for Lin Xu.
So just like that, Saidonggu and Odile returned to their spaceship with faces full of surprise and confusion.
The two sides said goodbye, each chose a direction, and the spacecraft accelerated away.
Standing in front of the porthole, Saidonggu's face was full of complexity as he watched the Skylark, which was traveling much faster than his own spaceship, instantly disappear in the curvature navigation space bubble.
He didn't know the identities of the people he met today.
But he always had a feeling that the opportunity for change had come.
"Mr. Sai, wasn't our original plan to go back to Storm Star and hand the things over to the elders?" Odell asked.
"I just saw that they might go to the Chaos Star Region next, so no matter how I answer, they won't change their course because of us. This way, we can smoothly follow them back to the Chaos Star Region and take the opportunity to find a guide and return to Storm Star, or we can just follow them to find a guide and go to Storm Star together."
"I said there were still missions to be completed, but I just didn't want them to know that we also had to go back to Storm Star, but I didn't expect that." Saidonggu looked at the spaceship under his feet and felt helpless for a moment.
"What should we do? Chase after him?"
“No, let’s take a detour so that people don’t misunderstand that we are following them.” Saidonggu shook his head.
"It's okay, actually. They're moving so fast that we can't catch up with them." Odell gestured at the space radar next to her, which showed that the Skylark had departed at a speed that had accelerated to five hundred times the speed of light.
And it is still accelerating, increasing six hundred times, seven hundred times.
This is far beyond the speed of their spacecraft.
At the same time, Lin Xu and others on the Skylark had already forgotten about Saidonggu and Odile.
They discussed finding a place for humans to settle down.
After leaving the center of the Milky Way, where will humans settle? Lin Xu didn't know.
Ten thousand years ago, humans had no idea what would happen before entering the center of the Milky Way, so naturally they had no idea where to go next.
In addition, humans at that time already had the ability to travel at a thousand times the speed of light, so humans who arrived in this galaxy could easily choose any place in the galaxy as their first stop.
Therefore, it was even more difficult for Lin Xu to judge where the original humans settled in this river system.
As for saying that there is no place for humans to settle down, that is impossible.
But he is still thinking about the latest technology in the human ruins, and without a place to stay, how can he continue to follow in the footsteps of humans until he finds humans who have upgraded to a higher dimension?
So this requires clues.
And now it seems that clues have emerged.
"Don't you think that the establishment of the alliance ten thousand years ago is a bit too coincidental?" Lin Xu was asking while organizing his thoughts.
"Yes, it's exactly the time when humans came to this galaxy. It's really a coincidence." Nanzhu nodded repeatedly.
"Do you think that the establishment of the Galaxy Alliance has something to do with humans?" Lu Yao said while tilting her head and biting the tip of a pen.
"There are God-given people in the Galactic Alliance, this can't be unrelated!" Lin Xu took the tea handed over by Miss Qiu, took a sip and said.
At the same time, Miss Qiu also placed a pot of tea and teacups on the table. Whoever wanted to drink could pour it themselves. She was only responsible for bringing it to Lin Xu.
"So it is true that there would be intelligence about humans in Storm Star, the base camp of the remnants of the God-Giver." Lu Yao poured herself a cup of tea and spoke while drinking.
"What remnant party? You talk about it as if they are an evil party." Lin Xu said speechlessly.
"I was wanted originally, so it makes no difference. But to be honest, this is the first time I've been wanted, and it's quite interesting to think about it." Lu Yao said indifferently.
"Very good, then the goal is set. We will go to the Chaos Star Region and look for clues about humans ten thousand years ago." Nanzhu clapped her hands. Anyway, whatever Lord Lin Xu said was the truth, and she would always support any decision Lord Lin Xu made.
In this way, the Skylark identified the coordinate direction of the chaotic star field, accelerated to a thousand times the speed of light, and began its voyage.
Lin Xu has not forgotten to recall the autonomous mechanical aggregate that he had just sent out to explore but did not find any clues.
The current location of the Skylark is not far from the center of the river system.
The chaotic star field is located at the intersection of one arm of the galaxy and another.
As the name suggests, this place is a chaotic star field due to the intersection of arms, collisions between planets, and even collisions between stars.
Even the Alliance could not establish effective rule here.
Over time, it became a lawless place.
It is a paradise for all kinds of adventurers and criminals, and a place for space pirates to sell stolen goods.
This chaotic star field is six thousand light years away from the current location of the Skylark.
At the speed of the Skylark, it would take six years to travel that distance.
But it doesn’t matter, Lin Xu has plenty of time to wait.
And six years is not a long time on the scale of the universe; it just passed in the blink of an eye.
In the year 11401 of the Departure Calendar, the Skylark rushed into the center of the Milky Way and left the Milky Way.
In the 11407th year of the departure calendar, the Skylark arrived at the Chaos Star Region, slowly slowed down, and temporarily stopped at the outskirts of the Chaos Star Region.
I have to say, it is really chaotic here to be named Chaos Star Domain.
Because the two cantilevers collided with each other, a large number of celestial bodies collided, forming a huge amount of fragments wandering in this star field.
This means that any spacecraft that comes here must slow down in order to pass, otherwise it is likely to directly collide with a piece of stellar debris.
This is also the reason why the alliance has never been able to clear out this place.
Of course, the reason why the Skylark stopped at the edge of the chaotic star field was not because it was scared by the bad environment here.
But it was because they encountered pirates.
Moreover, there is a group of pirates who have set up a base here and collect protection fees from all passing spaceships.
"This can no longer be considered interstellar pirates. It would be more appropriate to call them interstellar bandits, right?" Nanzhu complained.
“If you say ‘I opened this mountain and planted this tree’, it will be even more like it.”
