Axis is located in an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, a place farther and farther than Mars.
The trajectory of Axis is not a secret to Char, and it is the same even if it has not been contacted for a long time, because the position of Axis cannot be changed at will, and must run according to the established trajectory like a satellite. Once the trajectory deviates, a big problem will occur. In serious cases, it may even be thrown to a distance that cannot return to the earth, or it may collide with a larger nearby asteroid due to an orbit error.
But when the Frontier arrived near the asteroid belt through FOLD Jump, and sent Skull Squadron to confirm Axis and the surrounding environment, the people on the Frontier, especially Char, were shocked to find that Axis had completely disappeared from its original orbit.
"No trace of Axis was found. Kycilia was so arrogant that he would change the trajectory of Axis at will? No, it shouldn't be like this. It is impossible to calculate a new orbit within a few years, especially in a complex environment like the asteroid belt, and this area of space is also Zeon spent a lot of manpower to explore the place with the most resources. Kycilia will never give up here." Char stood in the bridge, frowning and listening to Ozma's report. He thought for a moment and said, "Have you found any traces nearby?"
Ozma's fighter plane is currently located where Axis was originally supposed to be, but it is completely empty at this time. Others in Skull Squadron are also flying fighter planes to spread out and look for Axis's traces. There are no traces or traces left behind. As for the other machines on Galaxy Diva, they have no ability to sail between planets, so there is no way to get in and look for traces of Axis like Skull Squadron.
After hearing Char's question, Ozma glanced at the information sent by Skull Squadron's machines, nodded and said, "The other machines all found man-made objects on nearby asteroids. The traces caused and the damaged resource collection equipment were left behind. Luca is trying to restart the collection equipment to see if he can find what we need from the data left inside, but what is certain now is that Axis was definitely in this place before."
Captain Jeffrey glanced at Char who was in deep thought, then turned to Ozma on the screen and said, "We can return after getting news from Luca. It is difficult to find any useful clues in such a large space with our current strength. There is no need to continue to waste manpower there."
"I understand." Ozma nodded and turned off the communication.
Char also shook his head slightly and thought, "Kycilia is not a reckless person and will not take huge risks to change Axis's orbital route at will. Since Axis is not here, there must be some reason why she chooses to move Axis... In view of the current alliance between Axis and Federation, it can also be determined that Axis should be moving in the direction of the earth."
"But she can actually choose to push Axis, the last home, to the earth. With her calmness, maybe it is just like what you said. She may really have some trump card in her hand that is enough to deal with us."
El-Elf has been silent, but kept calculating something with his handheld computer. After Char finished speaking, he slowly said, "Because of the movement of Solar System itself, the current position will reach the farthest distance from the earth in half a year. At the speed of our transport ship, it will take nearly five months to arrive, and the current position will take It takes about two months to estimate the time when Karma arrived on the earth. It can be calculated that the time he flew in the universe is about two months. From this, we can delineate the coordinate range of Solar System when he set off from Axis. As long as we calculate the position closest to the earth on Axis' original orbit at that time, I believe it will not be difficult to find traces of Axis."
Captain Jeffrey nodded, looked at Monica on the right front of the bridge, and said, "Monica, start calculating according to what El-Elf said, and calculate the shortest route to the earth in Axis orbit."
"Okay." Monica responded, and a Solar System model of Holographic Projection instantly popped up in front of him. His hands were tapping on the keyboard, and he began to calculate according to the range given by El-Elf. Even with the range drawn by El-Elf, the route The amount of calculation is also very large. After calculating each possible route, it must be deleted again, and the possible routes must be selected and confirmed again. Although it does not take too long based on the computing power of the Border Number, it is impossible to arrive at the final result within an hour or two. After all, this calculation is only based on the inference of El-Elf.
But about half an hour later, good news came from Luca, which greatly reduced the amount of calculations.
Everyone on the bridge was looking at Communication Screen's ruddy little face. Captain Jeffrey bit his pipe and nodded silently. "You are saying that the collection equipment was actually damaged artificially, and the data in the equipment host was deliberately saved."
"Yes, Captain, I analyzed the equipment and found that there is actually no problem with the Main System of this equipment at all. It is just that it has suffered man-made damage in terms of power supply and other aspects. It seems to have been left on purpose." Luca nodded excitedly. Head, tapping the keyboard, he said, "I cut off the Energy System of the device and replaced it with the energy supply of the body. I successfully turned on the Main System of the acquisition device. I also found some very important information. I will send it back now."
Monica also tapped the keyboard a few times. After reading a reading at an extremely fast speed, Monica also opened what Luca sent back and projected it on the big screen. After everyone in the bridge saw what was displayed, everyone's expressions jumped twice because they couldn't help it.
First, there were some photos. There were dozens of them. They showed everyone on the bridge one after another that a huge mechanical arm was dug out of the asteroid. It ended with the torso, head, and legs being dug out and then sent into Axis. These photos were by no means originally present in the exploration equipment discovered by Luca, but were artificially input.
Then there is a very specific time. When combined with the following words, Axis, Earth, Speed, and Titan, it is not difficult to think that this time is the time when Axis officially starts to go to the earth. And it is not difficult for people to guess that this is the name of the giant robot sent into Axis.
After reading all these things, both Captain Jeffrey and El-Elf turned to look at Char who was really shocked. If Char had any doubts about this before coming, If so, these photos now completely shattered all his doubts, telling him with absolute certainty that there is an alien civilization or ancient civilization in this world. There is a super giant robot the size of Zaku on one finger, and it will not make people think that it is easy to deal with.
Char's throat moved twice and he stared at the thing on the screen for a long time without saying anything. However, Captain Jeffrey and El-Elf looked at each other and nodded. Captain Jeffrey said, "Although I don't know who left this message, I can confirm what you have speculated. The real enemy has appeared and fallen into the hands of Axis. This fact, now our mission is to get the most detailed information about this robot. Judging from the time of the photo and the appearance of this huge robot, we can also confirm that the things Federation transported this time are likely to be repair resources for this robot. However, after a few months, we must personally confirm the extent to which Axis has repaired this body."
"The photos are not composite photos, so it should be possible to confirm the authenticity of these photos. As for the person who left these confidences, it should be the person arranged by Char. If this is the case, being able to leave such information under such circumstances and places will also increase the degree of trustworthiness. "But I think he seems to know some secrets about us." El-Elf glanced at Char, who also nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, some insignificant words in the message are indeed passwords left by my agents."
El-Elf nodded. "This is not surprising. Since Axis can take the initiative to ask for an alliance with Federation, there must be intelligence personnel of theirs placed near the earth to send love here regularly. Report, it's normal to learn that we have warships that can carry out Space Jump. We only left this information just in case we came here to investigate. Luck is that we discovered these things."
"Then the problem now is to calculate Axis's route and current position based on the time left." As he said that, El-Elf also looked at Monica, who smiled shyly and then tapped the keyboard, and a Holographic Projection appeared directly in the bridge. It was the model of Solar System that had been shrunk countless times, and there was a line flashing blue light in it.
"I have calculated the location of Axis at that time based on time and orbit. This route is the closest route to the earth. If Axis is short of resources, there is more than 80% chance that Axis will choose this route. We can intercept it in front of Axis."
Char looked at the route and coordinate location in Holographic Projection and nodded slightly, saying, "Can it be converted into a coordinate code with the earth as the origin of the coordinates?"
"Of course." Monica tapped the keyboard twice, and the coordinate code on Holographic Projection also changed immediately. After seeing the converted coordinate code, Char also nodded. "That's right, the coordinates pointed out by the password coincide exactly with several of them. It can be confirmed that Axis chose this route."
Captain Jeffrey nodded. "Ask Skull Squadron to come back immediately, prepare to set off, and send this information back to Galaxy Diva."
"Yes, Captain."
Yi Zui is here again, the chapter in the previous chapter was wrong again, hahaha.
