Volume 3 Chapter 124 Human Coordinates
Storm Star is a planet shrouded in storms all year round, hence the name Storm Star .
Lin Xu and others were only allowed to leave the rest cabin and see the outside world through the porthole after the spacecraft slowly landed at a certain altitude on Storm Star.
Because of the year-round storms, dust is everywhere on Storm Star, and the sky is always covered with misty yellow sand, making it impossible to see the sky and the stars clearly, and it is impossible to locate coordinates based on the positions of the stars.
In addition, anyone who comes to Storm Star is prohibited from bringing any instruments for observing the starry sky.
Unless special permission is obtained from the Presbytery.
This is also the reason why the coordinates of Storm Star have never been exposed.
"How do you usually survive such a big storm?" The storm made the visibility of the outside world extremely low. Even when the spacecraft was close to the surface, Lin Xu still did not see any facilities similar to an airport.
"Most of the daily necessities on Storm Star are purchased from outside, and there are not many God-given people living here, only a few tens of thousands at most, so the supply of materials is not a problem." Degen explained while operating the spacecraft to land.
Finally, accompanied by a vibration sound, the spacecraft successfully landed on the ground.
It was only then that Lin Xu saw clearly that the spaceship had landed at an airport.
However, this airport is also shrouded in storms and yellow sand, and people cannot be seen clearly a few steps away. If you want to land safely, you must have a dedicated person to guide you.
"Okay, we're here. I've already informed the Council of Elders about your situation. Normally, an elder should come to see you soon, but now, it's hard to say." Degen gave Lin Xu a look that said, "You know what I mean."
Lin Xu did understand that the most important news reported by Degen was obviously not about him and a few others, but the news that the Galactic Alliance was arresting guides in various settlements on a large scale and was about to sweep Storm Star.
Therefore, the elders will naturally give priority to dealing with the upcoming raid of the Galaxy Alliance. No one would think that the importance of Lin Xu and others can surpass this matter.
However, Lin Xu didn't have to meet any elder. His purpose of coming here was just to investigate what happened ten thousand years ago and to determine the location of the human remains.
As for whether or not to meet the elders, it is not very important.
"Do you have a place like a library here?" Lin Xu asked.
"Library? Of course there is. Do you want to go? I'll tell you where it is."
Although he didn't understand why Lin Xu and others wanted to go to the library, Digen still enthusiastically told Lin Xu the location of the library.
Afterwards, the two sides said goodbye to each other. Lin Xu and others followed the signposts every few meters on the ground and headed for the Storm Star settlement not far away.
Digen was going to meet the elders to report on his work.
Although the news had already been reported , for such a big matter, the elders would definitely have to meet him in person.
Not long after Lin Xu and his companions walked away, the strong wind and yellow sand in front of them suddenly disappeared, and everything became bright and sunny.
Looking more closely, what is in front of you is an area covered by some kind of cover, with various facilities built inside. It is the settlement on Storm Star.
Lin Xu also looked familiar with this cover.
"Isn't this an ecological dome?" Lu Yao next to him had also lived in an ecological dome on Earth for a long time, so she naturally recognized it the first time.
"It seems that this place is really related to humans." Lin Xu felt very excited.
Soon, according to the address given by Degen, the few of them found the location of the library.
Anyone can come here, so there is no need for a door card or anything like that, and you can easily enter the library.
It was just that some confidential information was stored in the upper floors of the library, so Lin Xu had no way of getting in.
"Zhenxing, start hacking into the database. I need all the information in the library, and at the same time, look for information related to humans ten thousand years ago." Lin Xu ordered.
"Yes, Master."
So Zhenxing's invasion of the system began when Lin Xu and others entered the library.
Soon, the lights in the library flickered, and before the staff could react, everything returned to normal.
Everyone just thought there was something wrong with the line and didn't take it seriously.
However, the invasion of Zhenxing has already produced results.
"Master, we have obtained all the data information in the library's database. After inquiry, there is no suspected information related to humans." Zhen Xing's voice was transmitted directly to Lin Xu's auditory nerves through the nanorobot.
Lin Xu, who pretended to be flipping through books in the library, frowned slightly for a moment.
"Ten thousand years is still too long!" Lin Xu sighed.
Indeed, it is a bit too much to expect that a library open to the public would contain secret information from thousands of years ago.
"Master, why don't we directly invade the core database of this settlement? There must be some information there." Miss Qiu suggested.
"Core database, it seems I still have to go to the Elders' Council! But where is the Elders' Council?" Lin Xu's gaze turned to the outside of the settlement, because he only knew that the Elders' Council was not inside the settlement.
"Why is the Elders' Council not placed inside the settlement, but outside?" Nanzhu was a little puzzled.
"Who knows? Maybe it's because the location of the Elder Council is rather special? It can't be moved easily?" Lu Yao guessed.
"Can't move easily? Is that possible?" Mu Xiyue next to him suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu also thought of it at the same time.
"The location of the Council of Elders, could it be related to humans?"
Anyway, it looks like we need to go to the Presbyterian Church.
As for the location, that’s easy.
Storm Star is the gathering place of God's gifted ones, and the entire planet is filled with rich nanorobots.
Lin Xu walked on the street of the settlement, looking at the people coming and going. Many of them also had nanorobots in their bodies.
So Lin Xu simply connected his consciousness to the nanorobots outside his body, and in an instant his consciousness enveloped the entire Storm Star, and he could easily see everything on Storm Star.
This also includes the Presbyterian Church, which is more than 100 kilometers away from the settlement.
"Found it." Lin Xu said.
"Then let's go now." Nanzhu said excitedly.
However, Lin Xu hesitated and did not speak any more.
"Master, is there something wrong?" Miss Qiu asked.
"I found it, but why is there an autonomous mechanical aggregate here?" Lin Xu's tone was filled with undisguised surprise.
"Autonomous mechanical aggregate? It seems that there really is information about humans from ten thousand years ago here." Nanzhu said happily.
"Indeed, this is a good thing. Let's go there quickly. But there is another thing that is not a good thing for this place." Lin Xu said with some helplessness.
Because just when his consciousness covered the entire Storm Star, he discovered that at this moment, Storm Star was surrounded by countless alien spaceships.
Lin Xu didn’t know where those spaceships came from, or whether they were warships from the Interstellar Alliance, but it was obvious that they had no good intentions.
So, before anyone could set off, they left this settlement covered by the ecological dome and headed for the Presbyterian Church.
With a loud bang, an explosion came from somewhere in the settlement.
And this seems to be just a prelude.
What followed was one loud bang after another, echoing throughout the settlement.
Explosions occurred one after another, continuously.
In just a short period of time, the entire settlement was thrown into complete chaos.
Fortunately, most of the people living in the settlement are God-given beings, and they themselves have strong strength.
So after the initial chaos, everyone quickly calmed down.
But all this has only just begun.
The explosions continued, and at the same time, a large number of armed robots poured onto the streets from nowhere, pouring ammunition and firepower on everything they could see.
In this way, the armed robots fought with the God-given ones.
At the same time, at the seat of the Presbyterian Church more than a hundred kilometers away, the elders who had just summoned Digen gathered together and looked in the direction of the settlement with serious expressions.
"What's going on? Have the people from the Galactic Alliance attacked us? This is too fast."
"No, they don't look like people from the Galactic Alliance. This fighting style is more like that of the Mechanical Empire."
"The Mechanical Empire and the Galactic Alliance have joined forces? Are they finally going to stop tolerating us?" An elder snorted coldly.
"From what I see it doesn't look like a joint effort, but more like a coincidence. Could it be that they have found the location? So they don't need us anymore?" An elder's face changed drastically.
"That's impossible. Only we know the coordinates left by humans. They were left to us, the God-given ones. There's no way they can get them."
"That's right. It's because of this coordinate that the Galaxy Alliance and the Mechanical Empire have tolerated us for so long. Otherwise, they would have come to attack us long ago."
"So now that they've come knocking on our door, doesn't that just prove that they already have the coordinates and we're of no use to them?" another elder sneered.
For a moment, all the elders fell into silence.
After a while, various commands began to be issued.
At the same time, on the other side, Lin Xu and others who were still in the settlement wanted to leave the settlement and rush to the location of the Elders' Council.
But I encountered some trouble along the way.
They encountered a large invading army of armed robots.
"We are so lucky that we can encounter an army of robots just by running around. Can we buy lottery tickets later?" Nanzhu jumped around Lin Xu, looking curiously at the large number of armed robots that were sweeping towards them along the street.
At the same time, Mu Xiyue's sword energy turned into a long sword in his hand and he thrust the sword forward.
In an instant, sword lights flew out from Mu Xiyue's hands, and each sword light pierced through all the armed robots encountered along the way, one sword from beginning to end.
Countless swords came down, and the originally noisy street, under the footsteps of the armed robots, suddenly became quiet.
Immediately, a series of explosions were heard.
The endless armed robots that filled the wide street in front of him were all cleared out with one sword.
"Lord Lin Xu, do you want to continue fighting?" Mu Xiyue asked.
Because more armed robots were gathering in the distance and rushing towards this side, and there were even a large number of spaceships landing in the sky, with cannons pointing at the ground and the muzzles starting to charge.
"Let's clear out this wave and go." Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, but decided to help the God-given ones here.
But he wouldn't help too much, after all, he also had important things to do.
Moreover, the entire Storm Star was surrounded by a large number of spaceships, and there was no way to save the situation.
Lin Xu can help for a while, but he can't help forever.
So Mu Xiyue attacked again, and this time a large amount of sword energy shot up into the sky, breaking through the clouds in an instant, and even the sky outside the ecological dome, which was full of storms and sandstorms, became clear for a moment.
At the same time, countless sword energies hit countless warships in the sky, blowing up one warship after another amid the exclamations of countless God-given ones.
"Is this, is this the elder taking action?"
"The elders are not that strong. They destroyed so many warships with just one strike."
"Don't worry about it. Let's take this opportunity to run. The warships in the sky are gone, and there is a gap in the encirclement. Let's go to the port quickly and run away in the spaceship."
Lin Xu didn't know what the God-Giver was planning, because after destroying a group of warships, Lin Xu and his companions had already left the settlement and headed towards the location of the Elders' Council a hundred kilometers away.
Along the way, we will occasionally encounter warships and armed robots blocking our way.
And the closer to the Elders' Council, the stronger the resistance will be.
Although none of them can match Mu Xiyue, it is also a fact that their defense is constantly increasing.
"Are these armed robots also targeting the Elder Council? Interesting." Flying in the air, Lin Xu grabbed a piece of warship debris that was just blown up by Mu Xiyue.
After looking at it, he threw the fragments away.
"Lord Lin Xu, these don't seem to be warships of the Interstellar Alliance." Nanzhu frowned and said on the side.
"It's indeed not like that. Many of the crew members on the battleship are humans who have undergone mechanical transformation. This is more like the style of the Mechanical Empire." Lin Xu also agreed.
"So the Mechanical Empire also attacked Storm Star? Why did the Mechanical Empire and the Galactic Alliance both attack Storm Star at the same time?" Nanzhu asked puzzled.
"I think that they are not attacking Storm Star, but God's Gift. They are carrying out the final cleanup of God's Gift." Mu Xiyue also spoke during a break.
"Yes, their target is the God-Giver, not Storm Star. But that's not right. Why must it be now?" Nanzhu was still puzzled.
But this question was destined to never be answered by anyone.
The group finally broke through numerous defenses and arrived at the location of the Presbyterian Church.
This place is also covered by a slightly smaller ecological dome, and the Presbyterian Church is located inside it.
But now, this ecological dome, which was supposed to be intact, has become extremely dilapidated, with a large number of warships bombing from the sky and armed robots attacking on the ground.
The defense line in the ecological dome was also trying to fight back. Various artillery batteries, coordinated with the sword light slashed by the God-Given One and the explosive bombs fired, competed with the armed robots for the initiative on the ground and the sky.
Unfortunately, the power of the God-given ones was ultimately no match for the long-planned attack by the Mechanical Empire.
The defense line is rapidly collapsing.
It was under such circumstances that Lin Xu and others arrived at the outer defense line of the Elders' Council.
"How do we get in? Attack the defense line together with those robots? But won't that let the Mechanical Empire take advantage?" Lu Yao frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him. He felt that it was a mess and even more difficult to solve than a math problem.
"This is easy. Clear out the robots and warships first, and then break through the defense line to get in. That way, we won't be taken advantage of." Nanzhu suggested very brilliantly.
"In other words, attack both sides? You are really a little genius. You came up with this strategy." Lu Yao didn't even know whether to praise her or complain about her for a moment.
"That's right. Based on our strength, we can beat ten of them, let alone two. So why not fight? What conspiracies and tricks? They are only used when we don't have the strength. If we are strong enough, just rushing forward is the best strategy." Nanzhu said proudly.
"Okay, I admit that what you said does make some sense." Lu Yao felt that she couldn't refute it.
At this time, Mu Xiyue got Lin Xu's permission and took action.
With one sword, he first cleared the warships in the sky, and then with another sword, he cleared the armed robots on the ground.
Then, before the God-given ones in the opposite line of defense had time to cheer, another sword was struck, and in front of their stunned eyes, their line of defense was cleared out.
Of course, Mu Xiyue held back this time and didn't hurt anyone.
Afterwards, Lin Xu and his companions swaggered into the Elders' Council.
Met the last elder guarding here.
He was so old that all his hair had fallen out. Among the people following the elder was Digen, who had brought Lin Xu to Storm Star, and was looking at them with complicated eyes.
"You are the distinguished guests who saved Degen, right? I am really sorry that I meet you only now." The elder said with a smile.
"Nothing, are you the only elder here?" Lin Xu asked.
"They have all left. Storm Star can be destroyed, but the inheritance of the God-Given One cannot be lost. They still have their own mission."
"and you?"
"I'm too old. Staying here is my final mission." The elder said with a smile.
Lin Xu nodded. The elder in front of him was also just a low-authority person and not a member of the clan. It can be seen from this that the other elders obviously could not be members of the clan either.
So, just leave, Lin Xu doesn’t care.
"I came here just for one thing." Lin Xu said.
"What is it? As long as we have it, you can take it." The elder continued to smile.
Judging from the current strength comparison, Lin Xu's side is obviously the strongest, and too strong.
You have no choice but to give it to others if they want it.
It would be better if the scene looked better.
"Thank you very much." Lin Xu thanked the elder.
After all, the sedan chair is carried by people, so he still knows a little about the ways of the world, although it is only a little.
Then, behind Lin Xu, in front of everyone's stunned eyes, a space fluctuation appeared.
Several autonomous mechanical aggregates appeared from the portable space behind Lin Xu.
Now, the autonomous mechanical aggregates that have more and more potential to become tentacle monsters are waving various structures such as excavator drilling buckets, just like waving countless tentacles, floating in the air, identifying a direction, and rushing towards the ground.
It then transformed into a huge drilling rig and drilled deep into the ground.
"This, this, who are you?" The elder obviously recognized the autonomous mechanical aggregate, and his breathing became rapid for a moment.
"I'm just here to take back what belongs to me." Lin Xu said lightly.
The next moment, the elder, whose face was flushed with excitement, fell backwards and fainted without even being able to catch his breath.
"Elder, elder."
"Quick, medical bay, bring the medical bay here."
"Whoever knows first aid, knows first aid."
As a result, the scene immediately became chaotic. The crowd, who had been amazed by the space ripples behind Lin Xu and the appearance of the huge machine, gathered around the elder and started to get busy.
Lin Xu took a few steps back in embarrassment.
He also didn't expect that this elder was so fragile that he would faint with excitement just because he saw him and guessed his identity.
Considering his old age, Lin Xu felt quite bad about it.
I wouldn't have said it if I had known this.
So in the elders' meeting here, everyone was busy rescuing the elder.
In the ground beneath their feet, several autonomous mechanical aggregates were digging downwards.
The autonomous mechanical aggregate buried here is not very deep.
So the autonomous mechanical aggregate that was excavated quickly dug out the autonomous mechanical aggregate that had been buried here an unknown amount of time ago.
Then, with Lin Xu's authorization, Zhenxing connected to the database of the autonomous mechanical aggregate.
Start exporting the information and intelligence.
After all, it is just an autonomous mechanical aggregate, so the information recorded in the database is limited.
But it recorded the most crucial information, which was the information Lin Xu had been looking for.
Ten thousand years ago, humans chose this river system as their destination after arriving there. They also built a varying number of laboratories and other facilities there.
This is the location of the ruins that Lin Xu was looking for.
And that location is not far from the chaotic star field where the Storm Star is located, about a thousand light years away.
Recalling the speed when he first left the solar system, and now he no longer takes the distance of a thousand light years seriously, Lin Xu was filled with emotion.
At the same time, now that we know the location, there is nothing more to say. The next step is to rush over there.
On the other side, the elder who was finally rescued struggled for a moment and then crawled out of the medical cabin tremblingly.
Despite the dissuasion of everyone around him, he still looked at Lin Xu.
"You, you really are, are you?" The elder looked at Lin Xu with hope in his eyes.
"It's good that you know it. You don't have to say it out loud." Lin Xu nodded in acknowledgement and also reminded .
Although Lin Xu doesn’t think that now, ten thousand years later, and with the Alliance deliberately covering up history, how many people will still remember humans.
