"That's no nonsense."

He immediately imposed a complete blockade on the spacecraft.

"But since you said the pollution has reached a certain level, are you sure it won't leak from the ship?"

"How do you put it?"

Ainol's expression softened slightly.

"From the current situation, the degree of erosion is still within controllable limits, and most of the Sun God still retains the characteristics of this universe. All we need to do now is to strictly seal off the site. As long as no one enters the contaminated area, the abyss pollution will spontaneously recede over time."

"Okay."

Bai Yi nodded.

"One last question."

The shuttle has arrived at the dock of the new Mars planetary fortress spacecraft and is now being towed by a drone to dock at the designated position.

"Those crystals, why are they retreating?"

"I have no idea."

Ainol's answer was quite straightforward.

"Maybe they have some connection to the Abyss, but... I don't know. Maybe no one knows. After all, we know very little about either of them."

"become."

Bai Yi knew that he couldn't ask any more questions.

"We've arrived. I'll go home first. Do you want to ask the doctor for some sleeping pills?"

"Don't worry about me, I'm used to it."

Hearing her say this, Bai Yi stopped pestering her. He jumped off the shuttle and stepped onto the surface of the New Mars again.

After the previous battle, the new Mars lay in a desolate state. Craters littered the landscape as far as the eye could see, and plumes of black smoke rose from the surface. In the distance, flames still raged in the buildings that had been struck in the previous attack. Due to the environment, these buildings had stored large amounts of oxygen and flammable materials, making the fires difficult to control.

The mechanical bee colony had already established a temporary water supply by consuming its own energy. The builders were using these pipelines to fight the fire. However, facing the raging fire, the small number of builders was simply unable to suppress it. They could only use the isolation belt to confine the fire to a certain area.

Once the fire has consumed all available flammable materials within its range, the fire will die out on its own.

Underground, more construction workers were still repairing the core components of the fortress spacecraft. They were performing emergency maintenance on the spacecraft's reactor and destruction beam, and also inspecting the various hangars and turrets.

Most of the structures have been damaged beyond repair, and replacing them with new parts will take a considerable amount of time. Restoration is not something that can be done overnight, and the current inspection is mainly aimed at preventing a subsequent secondary explosion.

Furthermore, the ship's engines were damaged during this round of battle. At least 30% of the steering engines were completely destroyed, and two of the six propulsion engines were completely shut down. All of this would take time to repair.

But the most fatal problem was the main structure of the spacecraft. Under the series of attacks, the crust of the southern hemisphere of the spacecraft shifted, and the artillery fire tore through the armor layer and the structural pillars that supported the upper structure.

This created a massive rift spanning 170km across the planet. Even if it were repaired later, the structural strength would be reduced.

To sum up, this spaceship was essentially on the verge of being scrapped. If Bai Yi hadn't completely run out of useful equipment, he would have dismantled and recycled it long ago according to the mandatory scrapping standards.

A single battle had completely emptied all of his military resources, which was extremely bad news for Bai Yi. However, he also received some good news.

The tachyon network with the outside world has been restored, and a joint subspace survey conducted by multiple Border Guards indicates that the Crystal Storm fleet in the area has been completely evacuated. In addition, the Third Fleet has also received the message sent during the Stargate Battle and is now on its way.

After greeting Ning Xue, Kachi, and Asunya and briefly introducing his experiences during this period, Bai Yi walked into an unsealed laboratory.

This is an area that was prepared when the new Mars was first built, but it has only been officially put into use now.

This is a fully functional laboratory, equipped with all the scientific instruments that Bai Yi can currently produce.

He wants to build a new home here for the samples he collected.

Ainol knew about the samples he had collected. Samples like the ones in the two test tubes were kept in various Level 5 laboratories of the Galactic Alliance. They had confirmed that these tiny samples, stripped from the abyssal creatures, would not affect the surrounding environment.

In addition, according to her, ghosts are at the bottom of the energy level of activity of all abyssal creatures, and they must rely on large groups to carry out activities.

After being separated from the group, a single ghost would find it difficult to survive, not to mention causing abyss pollution to the surrounding area.

That was why she did not stop Bai Yi from collecting samples.

After entering the laboratory, Bai Yi first found two new test tubes, stored the collected pus and tentacle samples separately, and then transferred the ghost into a brand new magnetic field container.

Even after this period of confinement, the ghost still did not reduce its aggressiveness. While Bai Yi was moving it, it tried to seize the opportunity to attack him.

But in the end, he was caught back by Bai Yi's electrified steel claw.

Apart from the ghost, what surprised him more was that the two samples collected remained active after several hours.

Under a low-power microscope, you can see that there are still subtle movements on the surfaces of both. Although the frequency of movement is much lower than before, it at least proves that the tissue is not dead.

After placing his three collections, Bai Yi added some necessary security measures to the laboratory and then turned and left.

These things will be handed over to the Third Fleet for safekeeping soon. I just need to make sure nothing goes wrong during this period.

He still has a lot of things to do now.

In addition to repairing the new Mars, Bai Yi also has to prepare for the next meeting with the Third Fleet.

As for the construction of the defense system of the Pass C11 galaxy, it has become a trivial matter.

Based on the documents sent from above, they re-evaluated Galaxy J and ultimately determined that the current state of the Galaxy was no longer suitable for core defense, and ultimately decided to blast the Galaxy.

Compared with the clear subspace routes within the galaxy, the routes between galaxies are much more chaotic.

However, when approaching one of the two, these chaotic routes will still divide into many branches. However, these branches are not permanent and will spontaneously change the connected galaxies over time.

Pass C11 is one of the galaxies connected by interstellar routes.
