I was exposed for mining on Mars

Ever since the super-accelerated fleet fought against Luo Xiu's warships and destroyed three civilized ships, the main fleet has gradually begun to communicate with the base camp.

Although this move violated the regulations of the Cygnus civilization, after the first contact was not attacked, the Cygnus civilization acquiesced in the signal communication between the fleet and the base camp.

However, because it was only acquiescence, the communication between each fleet and the base camp was not frequent. Only when certain important events were encountered, inquiries would be made to the cruising fleet base camp.

But this time, the signal returned by the main fleet from Alpha Centauri really shocked the mechanical ascendants in the base camp.

When the star gate in the spiral arm of the constellation Swan was instantly destroyed, the Ascended Council of the base camp thought of the civilizations in the solar system that had fought against them before.

After all, the two sides have been stable for a long time. It stands to reason that judging from the other party's behavior, they will not take the initiative when there is no provocation.

But the signal returned by Ferma at this time directly overturned their previous inferences. Looking at the current situation, the destruction of the star gate in the Cygnus spiral arm was still related to the other party.

But why the other party has extended its sphere of influence to the Cygnus Spiral Arm is unknown to the Ascended Council.

According to the warning points established by the Cygnus civilization and the cruising fleet at the contact locations between the Cygnus spiral arm and the Orion spiral arm, no ships or aircraft passed through the two spiral arm material belts during this period.

And more importantly, the spiral arm material belt is now being cleaned up, and most of the area has been disconnected.

As long as the material belt is completely cleared, the unknown civilization's path to the Cygnus spiral arm through a stargate-like jump will be directly cut off.

However, when the ship went to Alpha Centauri through an unknown jump method, the Kasakuk mechanical ascenders at the base camp finally understood that the other party's jump method was completely different.

If the unknown civilization has truly mastered this method of jump, it is very possible for An to jump directly from the Orion Spiral Arm to the Cygnus Spiral Arm.

With this idea in mind, the initiator of the destruction of the star gate in the Cygnus spiral arm seems to have surfaced.

When these conditions are completely combined, the attacker who destroyed the Star Gate was a civilization in the solar system far away in the Orion cantilever.

"We have been worried that our star gate will become a tool for the opponent to jump into the spiral arm, but now it seems that we are overly worried."

At the cruise fleet base camp, in the meeting of the Mechanical Ascended Persons, the speaker of the meeting was speaking to the Mechanical Ascending Persons in the virtual world with a depressed expression.

"However, the opponent's jump distance can actually reach such a long distance, which completely exceeds all our previous assumptions."

"In this way, not only the star gates in our spiral arm, but also the base camp are also at risk of being attacked."

"And more importantly, we still don't know what the other side's ships that arrived in our spiral arm look like or how many there are."

The speaker was alone in a high position, explaining quickly to the surrounding ascendants.

"Our previous analysis of the unknown civilization seems to be wrong."

"Although the opponent's attack methods are still very primitive, and the ships they use don't seem to have any technology that surpasses ours, in many places, we are far behind."

In fact, when Ferma of the main fleet rushed to Alpha Centauri, the cruising fleet had been analyzing the starship humans and Blue Star human civilizations headed by Luo Xiu.

Through two head-on war conflicts, the base camp has analyzed Luo Xiu's fighting style.

Except for the completely invisible space battleships, whether it is anti-matter annihilation bombs or Xia Qi-class battleships, they are actually not too threatening to the cruising fleet.

The main thing that can shock the opponent is the sudden collapse of the star that was predicted. The collapse of that star shook the attack intentions of the Cygnus civilization and the cruising fleet.

Now, in the view of the cruising fleet, the opponent does have the ability to strike across the star field, and the previous shock was not just an accident.

"Let Ferma take the fleet to evacuate from the star field, and do not attack any of the opponent's ships."

After the two star gates were inexplicably destroyed one after another, the cruising fleet base camp really didn't want to fight with each other anymore.

In this base camp, there are more than twenty civilizations and countless life forms.

Although the participants were all mechanically ascending, they no longer belonged to the category of organisms. But they were once members of civilization, and even though they have now transformed from organisms into digital beings, they still think about their own people when making decisions.

"The opponent knows the coordinates of the base camp. If Ferma makes another move, he may be the next one to be attacked."

When the president of the Ascended Council on the high platform of the virtual world continued to say something, the pure white space of the entire virtual world suddenly flashed with red light.

"warn!"

"warn!"

"The second star gate was destroyed!"

The speaker was shocked when he heard the sudden alarm sound, "What?"

Having been a member of the Ascended Council since its inception, he had never been so surprised. When he was a member of the Ascended Council, the cruising fleet had never encountered a challenger, and it was even less likely that the Star Gate would be destroyed.

Not to mention Stargate, before they encountered civilization in the solar system, they had not even lost a single ship in the war.

For the civilizations in the Cygnus Arm and the Orion Arm, the cruising fleet has always looked condescending and like gods.

"So fast? Did the two fleets attack at the same time, or did the other side make a second jump?"

The Speaker of the Ascended Council was also confused about the situation. He had not even received the slightest picture of the Star Gate being destroyed.

Since he really couldn't figure out what was going on, the Speaker directly suspended the meeting, exited the virtual world, and returned to his special battleship located in the innermost circle of the base camp.

In this inner circle, there are only more than 10,000 ships in total. Each of these ships is specially made, and only one living body lives in it, that is, members of major civilizations who have completed the ascension ceremony. Those who have obtained 'Immortal' mechanical ascendants.

The ship the Speaker returned to was his own Ascendant battleship.

"No. 1, contact your civilization immediately!"

As soon as he returned to his mechanical body, Demigod, the speaker of the Ascended Parliament, shouted directly to the empty bridge.

"Unable to contact."

The one whom Demigod calls Number One is the only way for the Cygnus civilization to communicate with the cruising fleet, and it is only controlled by the intelligent program in the hands of the Speaker.

In other words, it is intelligent life.

"After the first stargate was destroyed, I was unable to contact the mothership."

In the bridge, a virtual image suddenly appeared. This image is very familiar to Demigod, because the origin of this image is the appearance of his original civilization, the Kasakuk civilization.

This No. 1 intelligent life is certainly not the product of the Kasakuk civilization, nor is it a mechanical ascendant. It is just because the first life form it saw when it came into contact with the cruising fleet was the Kasakuk civilization.

Since then, this intelligent civilization has always appeared as a member of the Kasakuk civilization.

However, except for the previous Speaker and Demigod, no member of the cruising fleet knew of the existence of No. 1, and of course they had never seen its avatar.

"Can't get in touch?"

After hearing the response from No. 1, Demigod obviously couldn't accept it, "Since the establishment of the cruising fleet, this kind of thing has never happened."

"Of course, as you said, I have never disconnected from the mothership." The avatar of Kasa Cook Civilization No. 1 smiled slightly, and did not seem to care much about the disconnection from the mothership signal, "But Who said it’s not allowed?”

"The opponent this time is very powerful, and any contact may reveal the location of the mothership."

"Until the crisis is resolved, the mothership will not communicate with the base camp."

Number One's words were spoken lightly, but to Demigod's ears they sounded very cruel.

Judging from the answer of intelligent life No. 1, he found that the Cygnus civilization had obviously abandoned the base camp of the cruising fleet whose coordinates had been exposed.

Even though this cruising fleet has brought various technologies to the other party, it has conquered countless civilizations for the other party.

"Damn it! You can't do this!" Demigod was extremely angry after hearing No. 1's reply. "The coordinates of the base camp have long been exposed in the opponent's star map. Once your civilization does not support the base camp, what will we do? Fight with each other?"

In the minds of all the roving fleet mechanical ascenders, the civilization that destroyed the star gate was definitely more technologically advanced than the cruising fleet.

When the opponent's fleet arrives at the base camp, their counterattack will most likely not cause any damage to the opponent.

"In your own way."

No. 1 seemed to have anticipated Demi Gaude's reaction. After it finished saying this, the avatar disappeared directly from the bridge and no longer had any communication with Demi Gaude.

At this time, as the top person in charge of the cruising fleet and the speaker of the Parliament of Mechanical Ascendants, Demigod's pressure doubled.

Every decision he makes now means that it will affect the future of the cruising fleet.

Whether it is rebirth or destruction, it all depends on the thought of Demigod, the Kasakuk mechanical ascensioner.

However, as a person who has been the Speaker of the Ascended Parliament for many years, Demigod is not mediocre. After a brief period of confusion, he immediately returned to the parliament in the virtual world to face the more than 10,000 members who also belonged to the ascended ones.

"speaker."

When Demigod returned to the virtual world, more than 10,000 ascended people quickly looked in the direction of the high platform.

Fermat and his assistants, who were far away on Alpha Centauri, were also anxiously waiting for Demigod's reply.

As the two mechanical ascenders on the front line, they certainly wanted to get a reply as soon as possible.

Because every decision of the Ascended Council now involves the life and death of the two mechanical Ascended.

"Everyone."

Demigod returned to the high platform and looked around. The ascendants of various civilizations were looking at him with their true colors.

Only in this Council of Ascended Ones can they show themselves as the original civilization.

"We have lost contact with the Cygnus civilization."

The members present were all decision-makers of the entire cruising fleet, so Demigod had no intention of hiding anything.

'What? ’

‘How is this possible? Aren’t we abandoned? ’

After Demigod finished speaking, the ascendants below suddenly started talking. Such a result is also an extremely serious blow to them. After all, this situation has never happened since joining the cruising fleet.

"quiet."

Seeing the chaos in the scene, Demigod frowned and shouted in a louder tone.

As the second Speaker of the Ascended Council and the longest-serving Speaker, Demigod's prestige is also very high.

After his shout appeared, all the ascendants present immediately fell silent.

"Although we can no longer compete with the Cygnus civilization, at least we still have ourselves."

"We are a powerful fleet formed by many civilizations. We have the combat power to control two spiral arms."

"Even if we face a strong enemy, I believe we are still capable of resisting."

"Now that the Cygnus civilization has chosen to withdraw, we have to rely on ourselves."

Just when Demigod was about to reveal his plan, some of the Ascended Ones below were once again not calm.

"Your Majesty Speaker, we are not allowed to come into contact with any substances."

The cruising fleet has been suppressed by the Cygnus civilization for a long time, and they have always been unable to come into contact with any matter.

This approach eliminates the possibility of any civilization to rebel.

After all, the ship you use comes from the Cygnus civilization, and the control system you use also comes from the Cygnus civilization. Where does the rebellion start?

Perhaps before the rebellion instructions were conveyed, his own ship detonated himself.

Demigod seemed to have expected that someone would ask this question, so he raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "From now on, all bans will be lifted. Civilized ships will be built directly near each star gate. When the opponent approaches the base camp, Before, a fleet defense line was established.”

While Demigod was speaking, a star map of the Cygnus spiral arm also appeared in the sky above the venue.

In the star map, the line of defense mentioned by Demigod was also highlighted.

Since the two destroyed star gates were almost adjacent to each other, this defense line was also built around the two star gates.

The reason why Demigod had such a chance was that the other party only made one jump. And if it's just once, then the line of defense is useful.
