Hera said slowly: "We have the most sophisticated instruments for testing. If we don't try this, the time cost of the first half month will be completely sunk."

Lu said: "Risk estimation is part of my job. After all, Zubin is the administrative star of the Sherman Empire, and the risks that cannot be estimated are too great."

"Maybe we can try it on the outside," Hera said, "We can't just go back empty-handed."

Law: "What's the point of trying to go to the outside? If you want to detect the hidden Zerg, you must conduct detection close to the surface. The boss can't get close to the atmosphere rashly."

"You two," Yang Luo said with a smile, "can you look at the crew member No. 3 next to her who raised her hand? She has been raising her hand for a long time."

Ritsu and Hera turned to look at 026 at the same time.

Both the mechanical thinking body and the biologist have sharp eyes, as if they are asking 026 who to choose to support.

"I can go to the surface for exploration on behalf of the boss," 026 said softly, "I have been on the ship for two years. Once I meet the conditions, I will be bound to this particle transmission machine. I can transmit it back directly. I will not cause any harm to the Zerg."

reaction, and I am very familiar with the ship’s operation.”

Law and Hera nodded at the same time, both thinking this was a good idea.

Yang Luo looked at 026 hesitantly.

Is this little girl really reliable?

What makes Yang Luo very gratified is that 026, who has been training for more than two years, is now able to stand alone.

On the backside of Zubin, over an uninhabited city, the Feinan was suspended in stealth. The small stealth ship piloted by 026 had used the cover of the uninhabited city to stick to the surface and conduct a slow scan.

The two detectors mounted on the stealth ship are fully powered and continuously transmit back underground data.

On the projection screen, you can still see 026's slightly nervous round face.

Wearing a blue loose maintenance suit and a pair of white gloves, she looked like a young master operating machinery on a construction site.

Hera concentrated on analyzing the various data returned from the stealth ship;

Law is closely monitoring the planet's defense power and the gravitational changes in the outer airspace.

They were ready to abandon the small stealth ship at any time and bring 026 back to escape together.

The humming sound of 026 came from the communication channel. She seemed to be using this method to embolden herself.

Yang Luo had a rare moment of leisure and stood by the porthole, staring at the 'old' administrative star that was filled with dark clouds everywhere.

The Sherman Empire has existed for tens of thousands of galactic years. These administrative stars have also experienced more than one glory and loneliness, leaving behind a profound historical accumulation.

In the surface footage returned by the stealth boat, Yang saw a long-dead city.

Only the remains of the towering building are left. It has been standing for an unknown period of time. Except for the main structure, the rest has been weathered and looks like a lonely flagpole.

The relatively low buildings are covered with various plants, making the place look like a weird jungle.

The ground was filled with broken glass, various synthetic fiber cloths were flying everywhere, and occasionally some animal carcasses could be seen.

Why do people abandon this place?

Is it because of the dark clouds in the sky and the acid rain that falls from time to time? The harmful substances floating in the air remain high all year round?

No, these are not the main reasons. Technology can help people adapt to the environment here.

There may be only one reason why this place is gradually abandoned: the continued decline of the economy, and young people being sucked away by planets with more opportunities.

Yang turned his head and glanced, and found that Hera's brows were frowning tightly and her lips were slightly pursed.

"What's wrong?" Yang walked over slowly, with his hands behind his back, "Is there anything abnormal? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I suddenly feel a little irritable," Hera whispered. "The data is normal. No signs of life have been found in the mantle. Do you feel anything?"

Yang Luo shrugged.

Hera took off her glasses, rubbed her sleepy eyelids, and continued to stare at the screen.

Sudden.

"Boss," 026's voice suddenly sounded, "Do you want to take a look at this?"

Yang Luo looked around, and Lu immediately opened the video communication.

"Which one?"

"this!"

026 pointed the camera outside the window. A relatively complete wall was filled with figures wearing silver-gray exoskeleton armor and black tactical helmets.

White ghost.

This should have been painted in the past two years, and the weathering degree is not high.

Yang Luo shook his head and smiled: "There may be human activities here, so be careful."

"Well!" 026 quickly pointed the camera at himself, "I will continue to concentrate on my work!"

"Something's not right," Lu's projection appeared next to Yang Luo.

"What's not right?"

"Energy," Lu said softly, "This city is obviously no longer inhabited, but some of its circuits buried underground are still functioning normally, and energy transmission still exists in a small area."

Yang Luo called up an aerial view of the city below.

Lu quickly marked several coordinate points and circled the area with abnormal energy feedback.

Yang Luo's brain seemed to be hit by electricity, and he immediately thought of something.

"Law, bugs feed on radiation."

"Yes boss."

"It's not just natural stars that can provide stable radiation. The energy of stars also comes from hydrogen nuclear fusion," Yang Luo frowned, "Invade the database of this administrative star and check if they have ever had a large-scale nuclear industry here.

."

Lu was silent for more than ten seconds.

Yang Luo gradually felt uneasy.

Soon, Lu spoke again: "This planet once had many fusion nuclear fuel cell production bases for ships, but they were abandoned due to technological innovation hundreds of years ago. Logically speaking, there is no way that there will be fuel left for such a long time, unless

It was the New Federation that artificially activated some deactivated reactors, and boss, our detection instruments are mainly aimed at the depths of the earth's crust."

"Hera changed the detection target to the outer layer of the earth's crust! Law marked the locations of these abandoned factories, found these energy sources, and guided 026 to investigate!"

"Okay boss."

"clear."

The Feinan's bridge fell silent.

The small ship piloted by 026 began to move towards the location marked by Law.

Ten minutes later.

Hera's calm voice sounded first:

"There is a bioenergetic reaction in the area between 3,000 and 12,000 meters underground. It is very weak. I am adjusting the parameters. If it is a conventional detection instrument, it will not be able to capture these anomalies."

"boss!"

026 said quickly: "There are irregular cracks in some places on the ground buildings here. It seems to have collapsed downwards, but the feedback from the terrain mapper shows that there are no gaps underground. There seems to be something wrong. Boss, I found it.

The transportation hub sign of an underground mine, but the plotter reports... there is no cavity underneath."

No cavity?

Yang Luo decisively ordered: "Leave there and return to Feinan."

"Yes, boss."

Hera's expression changed slightly.

She looked up at Yang Luo, her lips trembled slightly, and she turned the screen in front of her half a turn to face Yang Luo.

Dense green dots appeared on the screen.

If the earth were 'skin', then these green dots would be the capillaries under the skin.

The number in the upper left corner of the screen keeps jumping. It has reached seven digits now, and it is still rising rapidly.
