"But she can know what I'm thinking!" Hong Tao was still unwilling to give up.

"Not only Miss Claire can know, but both my master and I know. Under this connection, the strong signals in your consciousness will be detected and sent by the master. Just like what I do now, you will have the other person's voice in your mind, but I didn't make a sound." Nuel spread his hands and told Hong Tao another fact.

"...Did you feel it at the same time when my consciousness and I merged into each other!" Hong Tao, who was already a little convinced, suddenly widened his eyes again and began to climb out of the escape pole with his hands and feet. This news was so terrible.

"No, no, no, consciousness fusion can only be one-on-one, there is no such possibility from a technical level!" Nuel also knew what Hong Tao was thinking, his face was full of embarrassment, shook his hands and feet together, and even if he opened his mouth and spoke, he still tried hard, for fear that Hong Tao would not hear his explanation in his consciousness.

"Then... where is she now?" Hong Tao did not climb out of the escape pole in the end. The entrance and exit of this thing were locked. The main brain ignored his command, but he took off the helmet on his head. Even if he could no longer hear Nuel and Claire's words from his consciousness, he could no longer connect with them. If he wanted to communicate, let the main brain convey it. Anyway, it was also an accomplice and deserved it.

"Miss Claire was in the drone cabin just now, now..." Nuel blinked at Hong Tao with a strange smile, and immediately turned his head back.

"Ait, I'm glad to see you recover. Let's put the other things first. You and Mr. Nuel use drones to scan the star gate carefully. No matter how effective it is, you must jump and leave after twenty minutes. I'll control the spacecraft, and hand it over to Nuel, and start."

Hong Tao didn't have to look back to know who was behind him. The mechanical monster never walked without saying a word. Just as he was about to explain that he was not asking about her movements, the mechanical monster spoke, and while speaking, he got into the escape pole from his head, quickly connected the data interface, and immediately closed his eyes.

This made Hong Tao even more nervous. Archaeological exploration was so hurrying. Why did it look like a thief? But at this time, the porthole suddenly changed, and two small windows appeared on the left and right. The images inside were shaking slightly, and they were approaching quickly towards the direction of the big star gate.

I guess this is the image sent back by the drone. Since both of them are in working state, Hong Tao can't ask more questions, just look at it. As long as the mechanical monster cannot detect his own thoughts, he can temporarily endure the problem of strength.

At this time, I had to sacrifice Comrade Ah Q's magic weapon to comfort myself. I was over 20,000 years older than the mechanical monster. I had to be considered as old as the cows and eat the tender grass. Even if this grass grows a bit strange, it was also a grass, and it was not too much of a loss.

A few seconds later, Hong Tao finally saw the figure of the drone from the porthole image. It is called a drone, but it is really not the same as the drone created by the Earthlings. First of all, it is large in size and larger than the escape pod, and then it is too fast. Before you can see clearly what it looks like, you can only see two small highlights.

However, the image of the Big Star Gate became clearer and clearer. After a few minutes, the drone seemed to be climbing on the Big Star Gate, scanning each area one by one, one by one. Whether there are any text or patterns or not, they were taken and saved first. Hong Tao had never seen such a close-up picture in Nuel's information.

"Stop on the 2nd, go back to the top!" There are benefits of close distance. Hong Tao found a few strokes at a broken fork. Do you still need to take a closer look?

"There were at least six columns of text here, but unfortunately the first half was broken. I could only guess two of them from the strokes. It would be great if I could find this piece of fragment..." The drone stopped steadily at the gap under Nuel's control. Hong Tao stared at the image and carefully identified it for a long time, but there was still no progress.

"I have all the fragments in the space nearby. I have all the numbers, and there is definitely no text on it. But I know where there are a few similar pieces, not far from here. There is a meteorite belt around 7 a.m...."

Nuel quickly gave hope. The big star gate was broken by some force. It was covered with tramplings everywhere, missing about one-third of its volume, and hundreds of fragments were floating where the naked eye could see it.

As Nuel said, there are indeed relevant pictures in the information handed down by his family. Although they were not taken at close range, there are clear photos of each fragment at every angle. If he said there was no text, there should be no.

"There is no time left, the Emma Empire Navy will arrive soon, and take back the drone!" Before Nuel could finish his words, the mechanical monster was coming again without any emotion. At the same time, the spacecraft was slowly turning.

"This is not the territory of the Emma Empire, why should we hide from their navy?" Hong Tao had no right to interfere in the question of whether to leave or stay, and even Nuel did not say anything, but Hong Tao wanted to ask why he was afraid of the navy. Shouldn't he be afraid of pirates?

"This is the holy land of religious craziness, surrounded by gravitational detectors. Our ship has electronic interference equipment, which can be hidden for a while. However, the space near the big star gate is abnormal and cannot jump normally. We can only use drones to approach and explore. They will not be invisible or interfere. If they don't run, they will be caught and go to the surface of the planet to do hard labor. Miss Claire, I'm afraid that the drone will not be able to enter the cabin, and their micro-curve engines will not be activated..."

This question seemed to be more in line with Nuel's taste, and he talked endlessly, but his face turned a little ugly as he spoke.

"Then let's destroy yourself, let's go!" From Nuel's expression, we can see that these two drones are probably expensive, but the tone of the mechanical monster is still calm, as if we knew that we would lose money in advance. Before he finished speaking, the spacecraft suddenly broke away from the shackles and entered the passage made of colorful aurora.

Just as the spacecraft jumped, the two drones also burst out with blue light, which exploded so evenly that the naked eye could not see the object called fragments, like a cloud blown away by the wind.

In less than twenty seconds, some kind of disturbance suddenly appeared in the space near the Big Star Gate, and one after another, a dark golden spacecraft emerged from each light.

There were a total of ten ships, only three of which were about the same size as the expedition ship, while the others were larger than the other. The largest ship was like a big axe with its head forward and behind, looking so textured. It was completely different from the mine ships Hong Tao had seen.

Unfortunately, no matter how textured and powerful the fleet is, it can only return in disappointment. If you can't find the enemy, you can't vent your anger with the stars and the nearby debris. Apart from that, there is nothing in this airspace.

At this time, Hong Tao's spacecraft was hiding on the back of an asteroid 12 au away. Although it was so far away, one-third of the surface of this asteroid looked similar to the Big Star Gate, like a rotten apple that had been stored for too long. The potholes were not too round, and it would be as miserable as it would be.

"Ait, do you know how it destroyed?"

"It should be similar to the experience of the Big Star Gate... It seemed like a big explosion happened here a long time ago." Without the mechanical monsters mentioning it, Hong Tao could also guess the reason.

There is a lot of wreckage near the Big Star Gate. Not only this planet, but also the entire three adjacent galaxies have been affected to varying degrees. These situations are recorded in detail on the information of the Nuel family, and they are even depicted in the form of a star map. The center of the explosion seems to be near the Big Star Gate.

But there is a problem that cannot be explained. The construction material of the Big Star Gate is a metal element formed when the supernova explodes. The New Eden calls it silver-like supermetal.
