Chapter 221 False Redemption
Mark was unaware of the fierce battle on the other side and had no information at all. Asker left him a communication device, but they had not contacted him yet. One was worried that the communication signal would attract the attention of the mysterious crystal, and the other was worried that the battle there was fierce and that he could not help, so he could only worry.
Their distance from Xingyao City is getting closer and closer. Mark used the detection device on the spacecraft to detect the situation of Xingyao City. The three-layer structure of this giant space city has completely collapsed. The central core area has disappeared and should have moved to the other side of the planet. The two-layer structure outside has obviously lost its power and is floating freely without direction. They have begun to collide and are disintegrating by their own rotation speed. From here, you can see a large amount of space garbage generated by impact friction. They float around the outer ring and gradually form a metal star ring.
"Can you contact them?" Mark asked Sun Tan.
"I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to arrive in Space City and try to contact me. Now it's still too close to that crystal. It's better not to send a signal." Sun Tan responded to Mark's question while driving the spacecraft.
"Oh, just follow your thoughts. I don't know how Ma Ya is doing. I hope everything goes well."
"She will be fine. We must have confidence in her and the power of the joint fleet." Sun Tan comforted him, in fact, he was also uneasy.
"It's not that I don't have confidence... it's just that this opponent is so special that we have never faced such an enemy." Mark sighed. The crystal warhead attack just now shocked him. As soon as he fought, he already felt the powerful strength of the mysterious crystal.
"I have a guess. Why don't you listen to it? Maybe you can distract yourself." Sun Tan suggested.
"You said." Mark sat on the seat next to him, with no operating table in front of him, just an ordinary chair. He suggested coming over to rescue him just to do what he could, but found that what he could do was very limited.
"Mysterious crystals, like lunar spacecraft, are all creations left over from the Ascension civilization, but the moon spacecraft has a higher degree of completion, and those crystals are more like feeding than precision products. Ascension raises them in order to obtain high-quality storage crystals. They are like some kind of creatures, with strong regeneration ability and strong vitality, and can evolve into different crystals according to the needs of the Ascension."
"This idea is quite interesting, let's talk about it."
"In that case, our pressure will be much smaller. They are just transformed for feeding for some purpose, rather than direct products of Ascension civilization. They do not have a complete weapon system like the moon spacecraft. Maybe this war is not as difficult as we imagined. This is also a magical thing. Ascension's technology is too far away from us. Even if we get it, we cannot crack it. The moon spacecraft and empty eggs are now rotten in our hands, but these crystals seem to have their own independent technology, and perhaps it is not as difficult as the Ascension's technology."
"Then we are really here, but... Is there no problem with exposing these opportunities to the people in the league for this?... I'm still not very relieved to those meatball creatures." Mark looked worried. Although the black market merchants seemed to have a good relationship with humans, they could know how weak this relationship was with their toes. With just a little benefit, they could betray humans, but this time they could return to the solar system, they would not have been without their help. If it weren't for this wormhole generator, the human fleet would have spent 30,000 years on their way.
"They only know about crystallization, but not about empty eggs. The information on empty eggs is well protected, and they can't think of it together. And what we are doing now is also covering up. Haven't you noticed?"
"Covering people? Do we mean we are going to rescue this?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter whether or not it is rescued or not. It's just a name. Those meatball creatures think that our goal to come back is to save our compatriots. Researching crystals is just a secondary target, so Asker would lend us the spaceship so happily, otherwise you think he was a conscience discovery?" Sun Tan realized that Mark had not been thinking about this at all. He sighed like he was when he was young and began to mock Mark's elm head.
"As you said... Asker didn't want to save those people at all. He just asked us to act." Mark felt depressed when he thought about this, and what he did seemed to be meaningless.
"You can't say that, you have to wait for the solution to the situation on Jingjing. If the war damage is not serious, there may be strength to transfer some people."
"There are many space stations in the solar system, and there are also a large population. Those space stations themselves cannot form a closed ecology. They can only survive by relying on the materials provided by Xingyao City. Now that Xingyao City has collapsed, they will soon die. If we cannot save the Space City, at least take away the people in the small space station."
Just as Mark and the others were discussing the rescue strategy, a vigorous self-rescue operation in Space City was underway. In the corner of Mark's invisible star ring, Nipp sent his plan through the central communication tower. Everyone on the middle and outer rings could hear his voice. Although the outer ring collapsed severely, as the speed decreased, the gravity was reduced to half, and the outer ring was doomsday. However, many people were reluctant to give up their hope and decided to follow Nipp to make a final try.
They have now completed the second step. Through the broadcast, most of the people who hope to be rescued have been transferred to the middle ring. The road connecting the outer ring has been much more unobstructed in an instant, and the crowd is no longer so chaotic. Except for a few crazy destructors, most of the others have calmed down and started to do things within their ability, cleaning the streets, rectifying order, repairing facilities, distributing supplies to people, and making the middle ring operate as much as possible.
Nip and Aliang have already arrived at the connection between the outer ring and the middle ring. The next step is to overload the speed of the outer ring. In order to do this, they must race against time now. There is not much energy remaining in the energy reserves of the outer ring. One second later, they will be a little hope later. If the energy is dissipated too much, the outer ring may not generate enough recoil force to push the middle ring away, and every second becomes particularly precious.
