I was exposed for mining on Mars

In order to tightly confine the Ascended member of the cruising fleet, the room was built into a square box shape.

It did not make direct contact with the star port, but floated a hundred meters above the star port.

Its entire appearance is like a Rubik's Cube, in the shape of a right cube. The interior of the cube is divided into three layers, and a small shield is installed on the periphery of each layer to prevent internal and external signals from communicating.

And this just cuts off the connection between the ascended person who has become a digital life and the outside world.

When a digital life does not have any carrier, it means that it cannot play any role. And judging from the current situation of the anti-ascended Dasara, her life and death are in Luo Xiu's hands.

"Zi"

After entering the control room several kilometers away from the cube through the propeller, the gate behind Luo Xiu also closed.

And just after the gate on Luo Xiu's side fell, the third layer of space in the cube was also undergoing pressure balance and injecting air.

After all, the cube was made on the fly and not much testing was done. Although this kind of design and production is very simple, and the technical content is not too high, it is a place where ascendants of the cruising fleet are imprisoned, so it is still necessary to test it temporarily.

Since this space is not too big, the process of air injection did not last too long. In just one minute, the third space filled with air was enough for Luo Xiu to take off his exoskeleton armor. .

The main reason for doing this is to prevent all of your equipment that can be controlled by the opponent's ascendant from appearing in the innermost position.

Luo Xiu had not seen the Ascended Ones cruising the fleet, and of course he did not know what else those Ascending Ones could do after entering the protective core.

Therefore, to be conservative, Luo Xiu planned to monitor the inner Ascended Protection Core on the third level.

After confirming that it does not pose a threat, Luo Xiu will enter the cube from the monitoring point and have a real 'communication' with the ascended person.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Ascended Protection Core has been transported back and is being put into the cube."

In the monitoring room, the control system had brought up all the images in the cube and gathered them on the huge screen wall in front of Luo Xiu.

In Luo Xiu's field of vision, the Ascendant's protective core captured by an engineering robot was being sent in from the entrance of the cube. Under the escort of the robot, it passed through three gates before being placed in an inner layer. The top of a pyramid-shaped object.

"Disconnect the wireless signal from the control room to the perimeter."

After the protective core of Dasara, the mechanical ascendant, was installed, Luo Xiu not only completely shielded the cube, but also cut off any connection with the outside world in his own control room.

The signal connection to the cube is a direct connection through a data cable. The signals on both sides are not in contact with the outside world, they only shuttle back and forth in this small data line.

In addition to disconnecting from the outside world, Luo Xiu also took off his exoskeleton armor and moved all offensive equipment in the control room outside the control room.

Facing the unknown mechanical ascension protection core, Luo Xiu had raised the safety level to the highest level.

"let's start."

Luo Xiu, who was only wearing ordinary clothes at this time, glanced back at the closed door and then said to the backup data of the control core in the room.

"The connection between both parties has been opened."

"Signal connected."

"All signals in the cube have been connected."

As the words of the backup control core continued to sound, the innermost image of the cube also appeared on the big screen in front of Luo Xiu.

The protective core of Dasara the Ascended is quietly placed in the center, held up by a pyramid-shaped object. This protection core seems to have not been activated yet. Although it has been captured at this time, it has not sent any signals to the outside.

After studying it for a while, Luo Xiu sat on the chair in front of the big screen and said to the backup control system: "Inject energy into it."

"Okay, Commander."

Under Luo Xiu's order, his instructions were quickly transmitted to the location of the cube along with the data line connecting the two parties.

As Luo Xiu's order arrived, the pyramid-shaped object suddenly flashed with white light and injected a large amount of energy into the protective core.

‘Received stimulating energy and are trying to make external contact. ’

Luo Xiu's first experiment seemed to have an effect. Dasara in the protection core felt that the external energy was coming towards him overwhelmingly, so he hurriedly operated the protection core to send the first signal to the outside.

‘Stimulation energy has been received, please pair the activation key. ’

On Luo Xiu's big screen, when the energy had just been transmitted into the protection core, the backup control system had already transmitted the cruising fleet lingua franca signal used by Dasara.

"Key?"

Luo Xiu, who had never come into contact with a protective core, heard these two words for the first time, and for Luo Xiu, he had no idea how to start with this thing.

"Can the key be cracked?" Luo Xiu carefully looked at the short sentence transmitted by the other party, but there was no clue at all.

Faced with Luo Xiu's question, the backup control system gave a not-so-good answer: "The amount of data required is too large, and it cannot be cracked using only the calculator in the control room."

At this time, Luo Xiu would certainly not connect the signal from the control room to the outside world. After all, if the protection core were suddenly activated, it would be very dangerous for Luo Xiu.

By then, not only the star ports in the Kuiper Belt, but also the Mars bases, moon and blue stars further north in the solar system will likely be controlled by the other party.

Of course, this is just the conjecture of Luo Xiu, who has never been in contact with the Ascended One. He himself does not know what will happen when the signal is connected. Maybe the Ascended Ones can really do this, or maybe the data flow cannot be transmitted outward at all, and can only be trapped in the protective core waiting for the cruising fleet base camp or the Cygnus civilization to release it.

However, Luo Xiu didn't want to challenge this possibility, because he represented not only himself, but also the starship humans that had been completely destroyed, as well as his own home planet behind him, and the billions of blue star humans on the home star. of the same race.

When the risk was too great, Luo Xiu even gave up on cracking the key and instead told the backup control system: "Increase the inward transmission of energy."

Since the protective core cannot be opened through cracking, Naroshow can only use brute force to destroy it.

Of course, this brute force is not the use of knives and hammers, but constant infusion of energy until the ascendants among them can no longer bear to actively communicate with the outside world, or directly destroy the protective core.

No matter which of these two results it is, it is acceptable to Luo Xiu.

If it chooses to contact the outside world, Luo Xiu can communicate with it directly through the control room. And if a large amount of energy injection destroys the protective core, then at least it can cut off the possibility of controlling the solar system.

"We are increasing the energy injection."

Regarding Luo Xiu's instructions, the backup control system also strictly implemented Luo Xiu's instructions just like the original version.

While Luo Xiu was continuously transmitting energy into the protection core, Dasara, who was waiting for a reply from the external key, suddenly became anxious, "Why are you still injecting energy?"

"They were captured by the opponent!"

At this time, as an ascendant, Dasara didn't know that she was captured by Luo Xiu.

In fact, when the energy was first injected, Dasara had already had this idea in his mind. After all, when the fleet was destroyed, they were chased by the ships of the unknown civilization.

The antimatter energy in the sky is behind the fleet, and in front of it is the 'neutron kill' shot from the civilized ship.

In that situation, whether it is a reinforcement fleet or a civilization ship, the possibility of escaping is very low.

This is not because Dasara looks down on the power of the civilized ship. The main reason is that the ship chasing Dasara is too weird.

The ship that could only be observed through gravitational waves destroyed the warship after a single encounter, and the shell of the warship was easily destroyed. The civilized ship, which was made of exactly the same material as the warship, was certainly no exception.

if it is like this.

Dasara thought that he had become the first mechanical ascendant captured by other civilizations, and suddenly felt that he had disgraced the Kasakuk civilization.

Of course, this kind of regret will not last too long, because if Luo Xiu continues to charge like this, the protective core will explode.

"Disconnect energy transfer with the outside world."

Just when Dasara was about to disconnect the internal and external energy transmission and allow the protective core to enter a fully protective state, the newly promoted ascendant suddenly stopped again.

Once the energy transmission between the inside and outside is cut off, you will fall into the darkness of eternal night.

The unknown civilization that captured itself would definitely seal or study it forever, and would never give itself a chance to escape.

And if the unknown civilization really does this, Dasara, a member of Kasakuk who has just become an ascended person, will have to live in darkness forever.

He cannot communicate with the outside world and cannot obtain any information from the outside world. He will then be able to live in a sphere with a diameter of only one centimeter, waiting for rescue by the cruising fleet.

And this rescue is basically completely impossible.

Facing a civilization that has defeated a civilization ship, even if Dasara is an ascendant in her base camp, the cruising fleet will not easily take risks for her.

What an intelligent creature fears is not falling behind or dying, but the eternal silence that comes from infinite space.

Dasara, who was trapped in the protective core, was just a data stream. She didn't even have a chance to commit suicide. She could only survive in this claustrophobic space with a complete and clear mind.

This is undoubtedly the ultimate fear for Dasara.

"Send signal to the outside, please stop energy transmission!"

"I'm open to communication."

Facing the eternal silence, Dasara, the newly ascended person, chose to compromise and was willing to have some 'friendly' exchanges with the other party.

If communication is not going smoothly, it is not too late to close the core and cut off internal and external signals.

The signal transmitted by Dasara from the protective core was immediately sent to Luo Xiu. After seeing Dasara's request to stop, the joint defense commander of the solar system also smiled and said: "Stop." Get off."

Under Luo Xiu's instructions, the continuous flow of energy to the protective core was also stopped, and the cube returned to a state of silence in an instant.

"Ding."

Immediately after the energy transmission stopped, Dasara's protective core also lit up at the same time, and the mechanical form of Dasara was embodied in the inner space of the cube.

‘No external transmission signal’

‘Other than a sound system and video equipment, there is no controllable equipment. ’

Dasara, who had just come out of the protective core, was also observing the surroundings, but unfortunately, the other party seemed to have made preparations in advance and did not give Dasara, the ascendant, any possibility to control the equipment.

And controlling a sound transmission system and imaging equipment has no effect at all for Dasara. Is it possible to create a virtual image for the other person in this space?

"Hello, Ascended One."

As soon as Dasara's figure appeared, Luo Xiu's greeting reached Dasara's ears.

After hearing the words "Ascended One" from Luo Xiu, Dasara suddenly raised his virtual mechanical head and looked at the place where the sound came from.

The three words "Ascended One" only appear in the cruising fleet. Even the Cygnus civilization that gave them this status only uses "Ascended One" to call them.

Ascension and Ascension sound better. The word "ascension" sounds better. It is precisely because of this that the mechanical ascenders of the cruising fleet have always called themselves ascendants.

But how could an unknown civilization that they had never met before, a civilization that had just defeated itself, know the words "Ascended One"?

"You don't need to be surprised." Luo Xiu in the control room seemed to see Dasara's state. While continuing to speak to him, his own avatar was also transmitted into the cube.

"I not only know about the Ascended Ones, but I also know that there is another civilization above you."

Luo Xiu carried out the Cygnus Civilization directly as if he was not going to stop fighting without saying anything shocking.

Hearing this, Dasara unconsciously controlled her avatar and took a step back, "You"

At this time, Dasara didn't know what to say. This civilization they knew nothing about actually controlled most of the secrets of the cruising fleet.

But the other party easily controlled the coordinates of the star gate and base camp, and now even directly pointed out the existence of the Cygnus civilization. How could this not make Dasara afraid?

The other party's penetration into the cruising fleet is as pervasive as if the other party itself is in the cruising fleet.

"Whether it's the cruising fleet or the Cygnus civilization, there are no secrets here."

"I know what you are doing, including those three civilized ships."

While Luo Xiu was talking, he did not forget to show the other party the remains of the civilization ship that had been pierced and destroyed by the space battleship.
