Tianqu Civilization - Base Zero

"This is the area where that ancient distress signal came from?" Qingyang compared it with the Star Chart, his tone quite puzzled.

Because besides the colorful ocean of energy before them, there was nothing special. Not even a single planet or celestial body existed within several light-years.

The Eternal Fleet had originally planned to go to the second Moro Metal production area first, but they didn't expect thousands of Mecha warships to swarm out as soon as they approached.

The powerful concentrated firepower completely suppressed the Eternal Fleet!

Among them were not only medium Mecha ships but also many high-level Mecha ships and even War Fortresses.

Enemies far beyond the T8 Fleet's capabilities.

Seeing this, Qingyang decisively chose to play it safe, directly using a Dark Space route to warp away. Afterward, he began searching for the source of the ancient distress signal using the Star Chart coordinates provided by Wang Lian.

Finally, they locked onto this area.

It was incredibly vast and empty.

It didn't look like there were any ancient ruins at all.

Qingyang frowned, then re-entered the coordinate data. Looking at the detailed area coordinates, which were identical to before, he couldn't help but look at Guxing.

He said with certainty, "The data shows it's around here. I guess the ancient ruins have some special stealth method. Brother Guxing, could you just point in a direction?"

Guxing sighed helplessly, then directly threw out a pen. Following the direction the pen tip pointed, he asked, "How about there?"

Qingyang immediately looked over, his brow furrowed.

Deep into the core area of this energy ocean that spanned several light-years?

Although most of the time these energy oceans flowed slowly and steadily, Qingyang was sure that as long as there was a slight energy fluctuation, these energy oceans would immediately become violent!

After hesitating for a moment, Qingyang still said, "In that case, let's advance. Maintain an 80% light-speed route, and turn on Stealth Mode as much as possible."

Since he had chosen to rely on Guxing's fortune, he had to trust it completely.

"Yes!"

Everyone immediately responded.

The Eternal Fleet's hull gradually became transparent, and then it quickly sailed into the depths of the energy ocean.

The liquid-like energy particle flow was pushed aside by the Shield, and brilliant light completely enveloped all the warships of the Eternal Fleet.

Facing such a dreamlike scene, Qingyang and the others were extremely solemn. If these beautiful energy particle flows were to become violent, their destructive power would be enough to clear the Shields of the entire Eternal Fleet in a short time!

"Attention, do not accelerate suddenly, do not use Subspace warp, proceed at the current speed!" Qingyang reminded them.

"Understood."

Changxi's figure appeared, nodding slightly.

Several hours passed in a flash.

The surrounding particle flow continued to flow as usual. If it weren't for the equipment recording, everyone wouldn't even know how far they had traveled or how much time had passed.

Changxi suddenly knitted her brows, her gaze turning to Qingyang. "Based on the time and the distance traveled, we should have approached the core area of this energy cluster.

Logically speaking, the density of the surrounding energy particles should be higher, but now it's decreasing."

"Are you sure we haven't deviated from the course?" Qingyang immediately asked.

Changxi confirmed, "The course is normal, Commander.

Based on the travel speed and the rate of decrease in energy density, it's estimated that the energy particles will completely disappear in thirty minutes."

Completely disappear?

Qingyang's expression lit up. "The core area of this energy cluster has a blank area with no energy particles?"

In such a situation, there was no need to say more. Something must have caused this phenomenon.

Most likely, it was the mysterious ruins they were looking for!

Ancient civilization ruins left over from before the Great Cosmic Regression!

However, it was unknown which regression it predated. After all, the Fifth Era was only the fifth regression the Star Sea Human Alliance had survived.

Long before the Star Sea Human Alliance, the Great Universe had experienced many great regressions.

The Eternal Fleet continued to sail, and the surrounding energy particles thinned at a visible speed.

Finally, after breaking through a special energy film, the Eternal Fleet appeared in an extremely vast empty area, surrounded on all sides by brilliant streams of energy particles!

Regardless of whether the energy particle flow was stable or violent, it could not break through that special film.

Qingyang's gaze immediately settled on the center of this area, which spanned hundreds of millions of kilometers – a special architectural complex spanning tens of millions of kilometers, composed of hundreds of silver prismatic structures.

The passages connecting these structures were flowing streams of solid energy pipelines, and at the center of the prismatic structures was a pyramid-shaped colossal building comparable to a small star!

All the silver prismatic colossal structures were severely damaged, with only occasional faint energy fluctuations indicating that a very small number of devices were still operating.

The core pyramid-shaped colossal building was still one-third intact, with dim energy circuits intermittently flowing with light. Many areas within it had extremely considerable energy level fluctuations.

"This pyramid-shaped colossal building still has many important functions running, but it's strange, there are no weapon-type energy frequencies. This seems to be a defenseless research-type building?"

Changxi quickly analyzed.

A research-type building?

No energy frequency of the weapon type?

Qingyang was immediately invigorated. The value of research ruins was second only to strategic warehouse ruins.

He cautiously approached the pyramid structure.

Then, the fleet stopped about 500,000 kilometers away from the pyramid structure. A large number of probe mechs flew out of the warships and quickly headed towards the pyramid structure.

The probe mech did not receive any attacks or warnings until it entered through the damaged area.

After confirming it was safe multiple times, the Eternal Fleet immediately sailed towards the pyramid structure. Coincidentally, in a well-preserved area of the pyramid, there was an open Star Port building.

The fleet drew closer, and Qingyang looked at the winding architectural structure ahead, frowning.

The interior of the building, spanning over a million kilometers, clearly did not allow warships to pass. Forcing a path would inevitably damage the ruin, potentially destroying valuable items within, and even triggering hidden defense mechanisms.

"Valen and Mia, guard the fleet. You can open fire immediately if any abnormal situation occurs.

Changxi, Guxing's Extraordinary team, and the Shadow Edge Mechs, prepare to enter this ruin. I will go with you."

Qingyang's individual shield and the entire Eternal Fleet's shield originated from the same source. As long as he was with Guxing and the others, they would constantly have the defense level of the fleet's Joint Shield!

The safety factor was greatly increased.

Everyone quickly completed their formations. Two Shadow Edge Mechs transformed into Armor Mode and attached themselves to Qingyang and Guxue.

After all, only the two of them had severely limited offensive capabilities; one could only provide pure defense, and the other was purely supportive.

Over thirty Extraordinary individuals and eight Shadow Edge Mechs were forcibly sent into the pyramid's passage by the assault unit. Qingyang swept his gaze across the dimly lit passage and pushed his hands out.

Dark gold particles appeared out of thin air, and then a dark gold light screen enveloped everyone, with complex energy patterns continuously circulating on it.

Guxing, Guxue, and the others looked at the light screen around them gradually disappearing, a sense of security inexplicably rising in their hearts.

This was an individual shield capable of resisting fleet firepower!

Soon, the shuttlecraft from Taiyi was also teleported in, and everyone entered one by one.

Changxi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"We have infiltrated the shallow control data. The control room's location has been determined, and the basic information of this building has been recorded.

Tanqu Civilization - Zero Research Base.

Specific information is unknown. We need to reach the control room to further infiltrate the base's intelligent control system."

Ah, I was dizzy from drinking yesterday. I really don't like drinking.

I just sobered up.

Thank you, Commander of the Star Sea Alliance, for the 10,000 coin reward!
