Chapter Eighteen: Rebel Stronghold (for further reading)

The Principality of Helios was built around the Helios family. When the bloodline of the Helios family is completely cut off, it means the collapse of a political power.

The death of a person may have minimal impact on a country, but the collapse of a regime is different.

If there is no external influence, the collapse of this kind of regime will definitely lead to bloodshed and war, because it means that the inherent classes are disrupted and reshuffled.

Everyone wants to stand at the top of the pyramid, and no one likes to be below others.

"Besides, it's too unlucky to think about what happens after death even though you're not dead yet," Xia Lianda said.

He raised his head and looked at the Evernight Star above.

"The biggest obstacle to repairing the energy system and thrusters of this starship is the lack of large equipment, right?"

"Yes." Mercury said.

Xia Lian continued to ask: "Then if there are large-scale equipment, how long will it take to repair the spacecraft?"

"If there are enough materials, within three months." Mercury said.

"That's not impossible." Xia Lian murmured in a low voice, "Maybe we will find some surprises on this planet."

"Do you have any plans?" Wang Zhen couldn't help but ask.

Xia Lian pointed to the Eternal Night Star above his head, "The civilization on this planet was created by Joan of Arc Culler almost a thousand years ago. Do you know Joan of Arc Culler?"

"The leader of the holy war more than a thousand years ago."

One of the members of the main control room said that he looked like a human, but he had no hair or eyebrows, or even some tiny fuzz. His skin was similar to shark skin, but rougher.

His name is Oak, and he comes from an amphibious alien group. In addition to his appearance, he also has two hearts, but the strange thing is that the beating frequency of the heart is very small, there is almost no heartbeat sound, and he has a stronger lung capacity, which can be used in

Survive underwater for long periods of time.

"Eternal Night Star is a civilized experiment, and this kind of civilized experiment must have observation points.

Thousands of years have passed, but the civilization of this planet has only reached the early stage of the first industrial revolution, and is even more backward. This shows that Joan of Arc has not given any interference to this civilization, not even enlightenment.

Since she does not want to interfere with the progress of this civilization, there is a high probability that she will not set up the observation point at Yongye Star. Where do you think this observation point is most likely to be?"

"This planet?" Wang Zhen said.

Xia Lian nodded, "This area may be a stronghold of the original omnic holy war. Therefore, this observation point may also be a base with complete ecological functions and should also have engineering equipment."

"This planet is quite large. Thousands of years have passed. Even if this base exists, it must have been buried under the dust. It is very difficult to find it. Do you know the coordinates of this stronghold?" Wang Zhen frowned.

Xia Lian quietly stared at the eternal night stars in the sky, tapped his fingers on the armrest and thought about it, and after a moment he said.

"I don't know now, but I'll find out later..."

The people around were all stunned. They seemed to want to continue asking questions, but their voices seemed to be stagnant in mid-air. Their movements also stopped, as if they were being restrained. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and even the sound of breathing was no longer heard.

exist.

The world turned gray and white, and time stopped at this moment...

Of course, time is still moving, and this perspective is relative to Xia Lian.

At the same time, Xia Lianze entered a completely unfamiliar dimension, surrounded by darkness, and in front of him, there was only a towering tree that exuded a faint blue light.

There are no branches and leaves, only split branches. The branches are zigzag with geometric lines and extend infinitely upward. If you look more carefully, except for one branch from bottom to top, which is substantial, the rest are nothingness...

..

His eyes tried hard to stare at the actual branch. Among the branches, he actually saw many people, high-rise buildings, busy traffic, human beings who were still sucking hair and drinking blood, and the first time human beings arrived.

The process of the third industrial revolution.

The tree in front of us is the tree of time that records the entire history of mankind.

"This is my first time using this ability." Xia Lian said, "How should I operate it?"

"Give a time and place, and I will search it for you." Alaya said in his mind.

"Am I entering that era directly?" Xia Lian asked.

"You can observe history from an observer's perspective to obtain information, which is much safer for the timeline."

Xia Lian nodded, "I want to see the last time Joan of Arc Culler was active near the Evernight Star."

As his words fell, the tree of time in front of him continued to enlarge in his eyes, and the universe and galaxies passed before his eyes.

Soon, he passed through the dangerous asteroid belt and saw the Evernight Star and the planet near the Evernight Star.

But at this moment, he saw many starships docked outside the planet's atmosphere, all of which were models that Xia Lian had never seen before.

Some starships have a dilapidated appearance, looking like they have gone through time and war, been repaired many times, and may even be rusty, but they are still in service.

This also explains the difficult conditions in which the resistance forces fought against the omnics at that time. You must know that some of the human technologies of this era are more advanced than those of the future.

The huge computing power of supercomputers has brought a lot of help to science.

His eyes gradually deepened, and there was not much difference between this planet a thousand years ago and a thousand years later. The only difference was that there were many more fighter planes flying.

He quickly locked onto the starting point of the flight of these fighter planes - it was an apron located in the crater of a volcano. In the rift valley under the volcano, there was a metal door embedded in the cliff, with a width and height of ten meters.

above.

Crawler trucks transporting minerals and mining mechas transported truckloads of materials in and out. Xia Lian did not enter the base, but he could imagine how big the base was.

"Have they hollowed out the entire mountain?" Xia Lian whispered, "But after more than a thousand years, the terrain will definitely change. How should I remember the location of this place?"

He is not worried about whether this base will still exist after more than a thousand years. The buildings built by humans after entering the interstellar era are very strong and can be preserved for tens of thousands of years, not to mention more than a thousand years.

Xialian's hometown of Helios in this life has a human ruins with a history of more than 6,300 years, and some of the facilities inside are still in use today.

You know, before their family officially settled on this planet, no one maintained the ruins.

Therefore, Xia Lian had no doubt whether this resistance base still existed in his time.

It must exist, but it has been buried underground for a long time.

The problem is how to find this base more than a thousand years later. This planet has not determined zero degree, so it is unrealistic to rely on longitude and latitude to judge. It also has no measuring tools.

Suddenly, Xia Lian seemed to have thought of something and took off a necklace from his neck.

This is a distress signal transmitter. As long as it is turned on, the army of the Principality of Helios in the widest star area can receive it and come to rescue.

Of course, this distance can be adjusted. According to common sense, the special wave band emitted by this thing can only be received by the army of the Helios family.

This transmitter has a delayed transmission function, which can be used to distract enemies after the signal is cracked. As long as it is set to turn on after more than a thousand years, there is no need to worry about being discovered by people of this era.

This can be used as a coordinate to point out the direction for them in the future.

"Alaya, if I lose a small thing in this era, it won't affect anything, right?" Xia Lian asked.

"Whether it will affect it or not, we may have to wait until you return to your time and space node to draw a conclusion."

"It should be fine." Xia Lian murmured softly, "How should I put things in? Do people want to go in?"

"Pick a spot where you want to drop it, then let go of your hand."

"It's unexpectedly convenient." Xia Lian's sight continued deep into the base. In the metal corridor, people were flowing, but they couldn't see Xia Lian because he was observing the place from another dimension.

Everything.

He found a gap in the corner of the corridor and dropped the necklace. The moment he took off his hand, the necklace seemed to have penetrated an invisible transparent barrier and accurately fell into the gap.

Xia Lian knew clearly at this moment that as long as he took a step, he could also break through this barrier and truly come to this era.

After doing all this, he raised his head and began to look around. He looked towards the end of the corridor. There seemed to be an assembly workshop somewhere, with huge mechanical arms swimming around, assembling something.

As his perspective gradually deepened, the scene in front of him made his eyes look a little lost...
