By the time Hao Ren and Vivien returned to the Nakdal base, the cranky minions were gone.A small detachment of them attempted to infiltrate the Nakdal Ring of Guards, only to be met with a fierce counterattack from the drone swarm, which after a brief battle, the cannon fodder unit that appeared to be used to find a way was wiped out within the swarm's range, while the other Corrupted monsters roaming farther away in the middle of the battle - the Corrupted monsters escaped due to the distance and the fact that the patrolling drones did not carry interception equipment such as gravitational trap generators.But Hao Ren didn't think it would have much effect, because the Nakdal Ring was so vast that the monsters didn't even get close enough to threaten or observe the inside of the base, and they didn't even necessarily understand the size of the base group here: the drone swarm stopped them a full half light-year away from the base camp.However, this still gave Hao Ren a warning: as predicted before, the corrupted monsters not only located the location of the Nakdal continent, but also knew about the arrival of their "outsiders", and they did not abandon this place.It seems that the crystals on the continent of Nakdal have a great attraction for them.Nakdal's control center has been remodeled, and since the underground part of the control center is designed with the "navigation crystal" as the core, and the crystal is still something that Hao Ren cannot grasp, the underground structure has been temporarily shelved, and the surface temple above it has become the new control center.The drone swarm has installed all the propulsion devices on the continental base, and the shield generators and weapon platforms on the continent are also coming online one after another.In addition to the engine, these things now have two systems, one is the original control system made by the guardian giants, and the other is the new control line of the drone group, which connects the underground structure of the control center and the above-ground temple - Hao Ren is currently controlling this fortified continent through the above-ground temple.The process was a bit like putting an additional electrical stimulation suit on top of a neuronecrotic body, and although it was indirectly manipulated, it was enough to make the space fortress function as it should.Hao Ren and Vivien returned to the temple in a hurry, surrounded by the calamity of the elves—the huge and imposing building still had its original appearance, except for the addition of a lot of Silling-style equipment and a swarm of autonomic machines flying around.In the depths of the temple, in the polygonal hall that was used as the temporary headquarters, Hao Ren went straight to a dark metal wall: "Report the situation. ”As the words fell, the metal wall squirmed like a liquid, and a face that was constantly changing appeared on its surface: "Six hours ago, the patrol drone detected the creation of abnormal spatial distortion in the warning area, and then detected traces of the clamor minions near the distortion point.Three minutes later, the leading drone exchanged fire with the intruder, and the intruder immediately split into two groups, one of which continued to invade the cordon, and the other moved in the opposite direction......" said the drone swarm consciousness, and the holographic projection next to it showed the battlefield image recorded at that time.“…… Fifteen minutes later, the enemy's troops far from the battlefield suddenly withdrew, and the aircraft group failed to intercept them; Twenty-six minutes later, the enemy invasion force was completely wiped out, and we recovered some of the wreckage, but the initial judgment was of no value. ”Hao Ren asked after studying the battlefield footage, "Are they acting in an orderly manner?"
”"They showed a high degree of discipline and reacted quickly, and although they were quickly routed due to their numerical inferiority, the enemy still showed a considerable degree of battlefield command.""
As we expected, the troops that came to attack the Nakdal continent before were all from the opposite side of Box A, and this time there is a commander in the rear to follow up," Hao Ren glanced at Vivian, "And I'm afraid we won't encounter F2A's recklessness in the future: the enemy is taking this place seriously." ”Vivien showed a thoughtful expression, then looked up at the creeping metal wall in front of her: "Can you roughly analyze how different the fighting style of the enemy who carried out the invasion this time and the troops who carried out the breakthrough on the battlefield before?"
”The Cluster Consciousness quickly responded: "The enemy who carried out the invasion this time is more conservative, and is more adept at fighting with a large number of small group distortors as the main force, and there is a large deviation from the enemy's tactical data collected before. ”Vivien nodded: "That means there is more than one commander on the other side. ”"Obviously, this is a wave of temptation," Hao Ren said, "the other side is not sure where our group of forces that suddenly emerged came from, and the previous wave of armies that were crushed by the drone swarm to the point of total annihilation may have put a lot of pressure on them, so they did not choose to attack rashly, but sent a small wave of pathfinders first." ”"It seems that we are right to build a base and expand our military strength quickly," the data terminal also came out of the side, "Although they can't see the exact size of the Nakdal base this time, they should at least realize that the drone swarm here has expanded rapidly again to a much greater extent than last time, and they may be more cautious in formulating an offensive strategy against us." ”"But it will also give them a sense of urgency," Hao Ren waved his hand, "A normal commander must think of immediately gathering superior forces to eliminate a rapidly growing and uncontrolled third-party force like ours - the drone swarm has shown an extraordinary proliferation rate, and the enemy will not sit idly by and watch us grow." ”The next wave of attacks is likely to come soon, and the scale is not to be underestimated.Of course, Hao Ren does not intend to sit back and wait for this day, he is already taking action.In the deepest part of the Nakdal Base Complex, next to the drone fortress that serves as the main lair, is a newly completed hyperspace projection device that resembles a scaled-down version of the jump acceleration orbit, with a long silvery-white orbit at the end of the series of rings that seems to constantly change between virtual and real.At this moment, the newly built strange device is activating, bright sparks of energy are constantly jumping and increasing between the ring and the guide, and a strangely shaped drone is slowly driving into the ring at the beginning of the acceleration track under the guidance of the traction beam.This is indeed another Turbo Track, but unlike the regular Turbo Track, which is purely used for quick drop units, it also has enhanced Stealth mods.It can not only erase the coordinates of the accelerated target in the real world, but also allow the accelerated person to always remain in an "erase" state for an hour after arriving at the projection destination, in this state, the unit being thrown out will lose all corresponding information in the real world, even including all traces left on the cause and effect and timeline, and it will disappear into this world as if it never appeared and will never appear in the future - any observation method based on the laws of the universe will be ineffective against this goal.And this "erased" stealth action unit is the strangely shaped drone, which is larger than the conventional model of the drone, dozens of meters long The body is equipped with various large and small detectors, and the rear structure of the insect version also adds a bulging spherical mechanical cabin.These devices were created by requesting an "Authorization Upgrade Protocol" via an Censor data link, and they allow stealthy action drones to observe the real world in a one-way manner even when they are erased - in other words, they can observe the outside world and the outside world will never be aware of its existence.The primary coil of the acceleration track began to flicker, and the surging light in the coil turned into a film with no thickness, and the "scout" passed through this film, and the figure began to blur."
Coordinates cleared......
Erasing information......
The target unit information has been erased, and the relevant source data is temporarily stored in the dotted memory. ”Hao Ren stood in the observation station in space, watching the fluctuations at the front end of the acceleration orbit gradually subside, although he didn't know what he had just launched, nor did he know what the thing he had just launched looked like and what function it had, but according to the memo prompt, he knew that soon after the fluctuations in the acceleration orbit subsided, some information would come from that distant and mysterious battlefield."
The detector is about to send back a signal," the data terminal said next to him, activating the nearby holographic projection, "The image may be a little blurry at first......
After a few moments, Hao Ren saw a light and dark image on the holographic projection device.It was the image of distorted starlight through the curtain of the real world, which was very blurry at first, and appeared to be intermingled, but soon the blurred picture became clear.The first thing he saw was a huge rock, which floated in the universe and quickly approached the camera, but the expected collision did not occur, and the carrier of the camera passed through the space boulder as if it did not exist in the real world, and after a brief period of darkness, the picture became clear again.A galaxy that emits a glimmer of light lies in the distance, with the galaxy as the background, you can see countless large and small black fragments floating in the dark space, and a hazy halo appears in the upper left corner of the picture, which seems to be an extension of an air cloud structure—at the end of this air cloud structure, you can see several shimmering and man-made things.The goblins couldn't get too far away from Nakdal, but the facility Hao Ren was in was in a synchronous orbit near Nakdal, so the three goblins were also invited here as temporary advisors, and at this moment the long-haired goblin was floating next to Hao Ren's head and looked intently at the picture on the holographic projection, nodding while watching: "These should be the pieces of Nakdal!"
”The other two goblins also shouted, "These pieces should still have Agudar mixed in them!"
”"Because Agudar was also bruised at that time!""
But you can't see where Agudar and Amantil are from these pictures......"
"It's so far away after all.""
There don't seem to be enemies here," Vivien looked at the image that came back, which was constantly changing angles, looking at the entire area, "Did the Corruptor abandon this place after destroying Nakdal......"
"They're probably not in the habit of cleaning the battlefield or recycling supplies," Hao Ren nodded, "What could be the artifact on the edge of this air cloud belt?"
”The goblins immediately gathered: "Let me see, let me see......"
"It looks like an outpost controlled by Amantil." ”"Stay away, you'll be discovered!"
Hao Ren nodded and said to the data terminal: "Terminal, record, we have to bypass these things when we go over." ”
