Inside the ship's cabin, Wang Chen was leaning on the gravity chair, flipping through the information displayed in the field of view.
Holy Light Empire is the well-deserved overlord of Archaic Star System. Its territory has reached half the galaxy and continues to expand outwards.
But this powerful empire is now facing internal and external troubles.
The internal worry lies in the conflicts among the major constellations, as well as the nobles, nobles and civilians, which have accumulated for hundreds of years, like a dormant volcano, and no one knows when it will suddenly erupt.
The foreign invaders are the alliance and alien races!
Leaving aside alliances of the same origin and species, the alien race is undoubtedly the enemy of the entire human race. The war between the empire and the alien race has lasted for many years. Although the empire has defended its territory, it has also lost the ability to expand.
The aliens are also called Nether Race. They are not carbon-based organisms. They are shaped like a mutated octopus, with four front and rear eyes and eight tentacles. Not only are their own defenses very strong, but they can also enter the Phasing state, which is very difficult to deal with.
The scary thing is that such strange creatures also have their own civilization, which can create large Space Battleship, and the strongest ones can even fight against the imperial Titan ship.
As of now, Nether Race controls twenty-seven star gates and five star groups of Archaic Star System.
Although the territory they occupy is completely incomparable to that of the Empire, the constant stream of the Nether Legion not only restrains most of the Empire's military power, but also puts great pressure on the Empire's border security.
Over the years, countless Imperial soldiers have died fighting against the Nether Race invasion.
And this situation will continue, no one knows when the war will end!
Imperial scientists tried to figure out the origin of Nether Race, but unfortunately all efforts ended in failure, but what is certain is that they first came from an undiscovered star gate.
It's like...
Another invader from another world!
Wang Chen's knowledge of foreign races was very limited before, but this time he obtained the empire's confidential information and gained more information related to Nether Race.
The Tampas Star he was heading to once fell into the hands of Nether Race. Although it has been recaptured, this Life Planet has become a radiation place where modern civilization cannot exist.
The empire suspected that Nether Race had made large-scale modifications to Tampas Star to make it suitable for its own survival and habitat.
But this is just speculation without any scientific basis.
In fact, Nether Race itself goes against a lot of scientific common sense and makes the empire fully aware of the complexity and diversity of the universe!
In addition, there is intelligence that there may still be some living humans in Tampas Star.
When Tampas Star Cluster was about to fall, the empire launched an emergency evacuation operation for Life Planet. Although most of the citizens were evacuated, some people were still essentially abandoned.
There are also some people who are unwilling to leave their hometown and choose to continue fighting in their hometown.
It is unknown how many of these remaining people are still alive, because the communication between the empire and Tampas Star has long been cut off, and it is estimated that the surviving people are also lingering in the underground base.
All in all, the current Tampas Star is like a piece of chicken ribs to the empire. Giving up means sacrificing so many soldiers in vain, but it cannot re-immigrate and build again, and can only leave it there and watch.
At least until Nether Race is completely eliminated, it is impossible for the empire to invest huge manpower and material resources to rejuvenate this planet.
"Major, we are about to arrive in Tampas Star outer space."
A noncommissioned officer came to Wang Chen and said in a deep voice, "The landing craft will be launched in thirty minutes. Please be ready."
Wang Chen nodded. "I understand."
Wang Chen is currently aboard an imperial warship New Sea-class Frigate. The mission of this battleship is to send him to Tampas Star to perform a landing search and rescue mission.
Of course, this mission was approved by the empire's high-level officials, which also demonstrated the power of Xu family.
You must know that Wang Chen is no small figure now. As the strongest superpower known to the empire, he has received the attention of His Majesty the Emperor. He is by no means a cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at will!
For such a dangerous mission, even if Wang Chen himself agreed, Xu Shaocheng had to pay a huge price to convince the empire's senior officials.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Chen, put on a new set of combat equipment, entered the landing craft.
Due to the special circumstances of Tampas Star, he did not carry any electronic equipment, and the combat uniforms, weapons and survival kits he wore were all specially customized.
Ten minutes later, New Sea-class Frigate, which was already in the Tampas Star synchronous orbit, launched a high-speed landing craft to the planet.
The landing craft carrying one person, Wang Chen, was like a meteor falling towards the ground. The ship's hull and the thick atmosphere caused violent friction, and finally made an emergency landing on a rolling highland like a drifter.
The long shuttle-shaped bow plowed deep marks on the ground and rowed for several thousand meters before stopping.
Thanks to the special design, it did not disintegrate due to violent impact, perfectly protecting the passengers inside the boat.
With the sound of the airtight door opening, Wang Chen jumped out from inside.
The gravity of Tampas Star is not much different from that of Holy Light Star, so there is no adaptation problem. The natural environment on this planet is actually very good. 70% of the land area is covered by forests and grasslands, and the oxygen content is slightly higher than that of Holy Light Star.
So even without a filter, Wang Chen can still breathe and move freely.
He looked around, observing his surroundings.
On the surface, there seems to be no big difference between today's Tampas Star and other Life Planet. Although it has been occupied by Nether Race for a long time, the natural landscape is still there.
However, Wang Chen noticed that the plants here not only grew extremely lush, but also had a clear tendency to mutate.
The most important thing is that Wang Chen did not sense the existence of Origin of the World after landing, but an invisible energy fluctuation was silently affecting this Life Planet.
Wang Chen felt like he was being suppressed when he was in it!
Wang Chen tried to expand Psionic Power, but found that Psionic Power was also suppressed, and the range of transmission was greatly reduced.
This weakens his power.
Fortunately, Sea of Stars Ring can still be opened normally, and the materials stored inside can be accessed at will.
Wang Chen tidied up the equipment he carried with him, and then trekked into the distance.
He only walked a few kilometers when he discovered a landing ship completely covered in vines.
The surface of this landing ship has been severely corroded, but the number on the bow is still vaguely identifiable. It was the one used by Xu Chengzhi for landing three months ago!
But it looks like it has been eroded by wind, frost, rain and snow for hundreds of years.
It's a bit difficult to handle.
Wang Chen thought secretly.
