Chapter 200 Cracking
Among the top ten this time, only two have final authority at level three, namely Hu Yitong and Long Jinchan.
Hu Yitong was only concerned with killing enemies and rarely cared about military merits. He did not claim the military merits after completing the mission.
Long Jinchan is still young. Although he has good strength, he is the youngest among the top ten except Li Yi.
Although I have accumulated a lot of military merits this time, the overall level is not enough to reach level 4.
Lin Xiu didn't go shopping with Ning Feiyu because he didn't get along with her.
Among the others, only Li Yi, Lei Guangyao, Ning Feiyu and Liang Zhishen have reached the fifth level of authority.
Even Jiang Chaoqun only has level four authority.
Li Yi did not have the authority to upgrade to level six due to his strength, but Lei Ning and the other two had sufficient combat experience and were also the captains of the standing teams of their respective main ships. With the rewards for this battle, they were successfully upgraded to level five.
As for Liang Zhishen, he is not only an instructor of the special class, but also a veteran of the Tianheng Star War, so naturally he has accumulated more military merits.
Moreover, his overall ranking this time was not low, and he successfully reached level five.
Ning Feiyu is familiar with many areas of the Moon Fortress.
Because she is a local and has high authority, she can go to many places without any obstacles.
"The internal structure of the lunar fortress is, to put it simply, a huge hollow sphere."
"The interior was hollowed out and replaced with a high-quality imitation snowflake material for support."
"Of course, the so-called high-quality imitation is actually a super-tough steel made by melting a part of the damaged divine weapons."
"This material is even tougher than special alloys."
"The area we are in now is the outer bridge area at the northern pole of the hemisphere. The main structure is a huge bridge fortress extending outward, which is specially used to inspect and deal with the starships flying to the earth."
"The bridge fort is approximately one-fifth the volume of a capital ship. There is a huge repair dock inside. Generally, small and medium-sized starship inspections are completed here."
At this time, under the enthusiastic guidance of Ning Feiyu, everyone came to the outermost edge of the bridge fort of the Moon Fortress.
Although Ning Feiyu looks cool and elegant on the surface, her temperament is like a mountain snow lotus.
In fact, after everyone got to know her, they found that Ning Feiyu was a pretty nice person.
Li Yi could see that Ning Feiyu was probably too talented and had an ordinary background, so she had relatively few friends on the Chang'e ship.
It was rare to meet a group of people who got along well with her nowadays. Besides, this was where she grew up, so at this moment she felt very happy as if a distinguished guest had come to the landlord's house.
At this moment, everyone has passed the outermost inspection of the bridge fortress and is heading towards a place with a wide view.
There is a long landing bridge in front and a delivery port above. Apparently, this is also the take-off path for the divine mecha to leave the warehouse.
On both sides of the landing bridge are four-person-wide pedestrian walkways that lead directly to the end of the bridge.
Everyone was amazed along the way and felt dazzled.
This lunar fortress has too much combat equipment of various kinds, and many of them are long-range divine weapons that require divine cores to activate their effectiveness.
For example, the divine ice cannon, the divine red flame cannon, the divine thunder cannon, the divine light particle cannon and so on, there are all kinds of types.
Among them, the Divine Light Particle Cannon has the fastest shooting speed. It is said that if it is fired with an S-level Divine Core, the initial velocity can reach 0.1 speed of light, which is very terrifying.
You know, for an A-class divine mecha to accelerate to 0.1 the speed of light, it requires at least 4 hours of high-intensity acceleration to reach this speed.
Moreover, as everyone visited the fortress along the way, they found that except for the main body of the fortress's basic buildings which were made using human technology, the rest of the buildings were basically based on divine technology.
This shows how much humans relied on divine weapons in the early days when their technological equipment was not strong enough.
At this time, Li Yi looked at the long bridge in front of him, noticed the rough friction marks on the ground, and said thoughtfully:
"Interesting, there are actually three S-class mechas attacking this place."
Liang Zhishen asked curiously:
"You mean the marks on the ground? But I think it's only about the width of an A-level 180 cm."
Li Yi said: "No, it's from a long time ago, at least half a year ago, and it's very shallow now."
Liang Zhishen nodded and said:
"I see. It seems that if you were allowed to walk around this lunar fortress casually, you would be able to figure out what kind of military deployment there is. Even if you were to fly out into the air, wouldn't you be able to tell if the flames would affect the surrounding passages?"
Li Yi was surprised and said, "Instructor Liang is right. I have indeed observed the situation outside the lunar fortress before, and I have a rough idea of the mecha division's strength under normal circumstances."
Everyone was speechless and quickly changed the subject, not wanting to listen to Li Yi showing off anymore.
…
Along the way, the group walked around the walkable area and also visited the gravity rally, artificial mecha racing and other events held inside the lunar fortress.
The gravity inside the entire moon is very light, and only the living area of the fortress has a gravity generator to prevent the loss of nutrients in the body.
Other scenes are generally natural areas with low gravity, so gravity rallies and speed races, which are things that push the speed to the maximum and reflect the internal competitive atmosphere, are very popular.
The entire space fortress is not a place with a strong atmosphere of war preparedness.
On the contrary, most of the people who saw it did not have a strong war-like aura. Only some older people had the iron-blooded temperament of those who had experienced war on their faces.
In this regard, Ning Feiyu said: "The new generation grew up in a relatively peaceful environment, so they look relatively immature, but they have received a lot of combat training."
Liang Zhishen said with emotion: "Not bad, the average quality of the people is better than the newcomers on our Yao Chi ship."
Li Yi smiled and said, "They are not just a little stronger, they are clearly much stronger. The people recruited on Mars seem to have average combat skills."
Liang Zhishen spread his hands and said:
"There's nothing we can do. Mars is not well developed, it's not close enough to Earth, and its own industry is not developed. In the early years, many middle and lower-level clans chose to stay together on Mars, hoping that Mars would be a priority for the Federation."
"It's a pity that a group of people gambled their wealth and failed, which caused the overall development of the Quan Clan on Mars to be not very good, and thus affected the quality of students for our Yao Chi ship."
"To be honest, when Lao Lin first discovered a poor kid like you, I was not optimistic about him and even called him to ask what was going on."
Listening to Liang Zhishen talking about these things, Tan Haode couldn't help but complain: "The powerful families on Mars are like the nobles of the old times. It's normal for them to decline. If the powerful families on Mars rise, it will be a great misfortune for mankind."
Xu Weilu said:
"It seems that our Sagittarius series is in a good situation and the internal construction is OK."
As they were talking, everyone had finished watching what they could and prepared to go back and rest.
Halfway back, Li Yi suddenly said, "You guys go back first, I'll go shopping alone."
Everyone was surprised.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Just go to other areas and enjoy some time alone. This is the Moon Fortress. I believe no evil cult is capable of invading here, so don't worry."
When everyone saw this, although they were surprised, they still did not follow.
Since Li Yi said so, he must have his reasons.
…
Li Yi walked alone in the corridor of the fortress for a while.
He Qiongying caught up with him, dodged and jumped from a hidden corner, jumped in front of Li Yi, frowned slightly, and asked:
"Where are you going?"
Li Yi said: "I plan to observe the terrain of the lunar fortress again and get a comprehensive understanding, so that if something goes wrong, I can be sure to take corresponding actions at any time."
He Qiongying said: "...Didn't you just tell your companions that you felt it was safe here? Why do you turn around and look at these troublesome things?"
Li Yi spread his hands and said, "I have nothing to do. Commander He, I plan to run around and try to visit the entire planet within three days. Are you interested in joining me?"
He Qiongying was speechless: "To visit a lunar fortress in three days? Is there something wrong with you or me?"
Li Yi smiled:
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Together or not? Don't worry, I believe it's safe enough here. If Commander He wants to rest, it's totally fine."
"Even if a cult invaded an important place like the Moon Fortress, our Xingyu Federation would have been finished long ago, right?"
He Qiongying hesitated, then said slowly:
"That's good. You have a celestial physique. It doesn't matter if I'm here or not in the Moon Fortress. So be careful. I've been watching you for several days. I need to take a break."
Li Yi laughed and asked curiously, "Why wash your eyes?"
He Qiongying's cheeks turned red, she turned her head, snorted, and without answering, she turned around and left.
…
Did Li Yi really want to see more of the Moon Fortress? Of course not, he wanted to solve the map puzzle he had gotten from the Calabash Man.
After he obtained the map puzzle, he took the time to draw out all the maps and save them when he entered the tower later.
After returning to the border star, he began to use the database of the border star's main base to query and confirm whether there was a match in the corresponding image data.
The database he was searching was a collection of planetary maps taken by space shuttle operators over hundreds of years. It was so astonishing that certain permissions were required to fully access it.
It was only after he upgraded his authority to level five that he was able to fully view the information on this page.
Among them, after comparing and confirming massive amounts of data, he discovered three rock photos taken hundreds of years ago when the moon had not yet been built into a fortress.
In addition, there are about twenty pictures of the Earth, which is a considerable number.
He then confirmed the specific location of the picture three hundred years ago based on the complete aerial photography information of the moon three hundred years ago.
However, since the lunar fortress has changed the entire terrain of the moon, it is obviously impossible for him to find these locations from three hundred years ago due to the lack of corresponding shooting time data.
We can only judge the approximate location based on the general terrain of the outer layer of the lunar fortress.
Two suspicious areas have been ruled out so far, and there are still about a dozen areas that he needs to visit one by one for on-site observation and confirmation.
And this is exactly why he left everyone behind.
After all, the miraculous effect of the Longevity Core fragments is also one of his secrets. It is better if fewer people know about it.
…
On that day, he used the navigation robot in the fortress and various internal transportation tools to travel across half the moon and visited several suspicious areas that he had screened in advance.
Among them, there were some areas that involved highly confidential information and he did not have the authority to go there, so he had to give up.
Finally, at the 14th hour, he finally sensed a familiar subtle breath.
In front of us is a carbon-oxygen ecological circulation pool. On the bottom of the pool, there are many self-circulating ferns floating, piled together, forming a shape like a giant eyeball.
Li Yi stood by the pool, closed his eyes and felt it carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"I actually found the fragments of the immortality nucleus that were scattered by the gourd man."
After careful perception, he had confirmed the exact location, which was in the center of the huge eyeball formed by the self-circulating ferns.
However, even though the thing was right in front of him, he had no intention of taking action immediately.
Because the huge eyeballs accumulated in the self-circulating ferns seemed very alive, as if they had life, and had a strong xenophobic atmosphere.
It seems that as long as you get close to the 'eyeball', the self-circulating ferns will rebound strongly.
"No wonder Ning Feiyu said that in many people's legends, this self-circulating fern is like a spirit."
"This kind of vitality, it seems that this self-circulating fern has probably collected all the immortal divine nuclei that the gourd man left on the moon."
"So, is it the special radiation of these immortal divine nuclei that caused these self-circulating ferns to radiate similar immortal divine genes? Or did it cause them to have other mutations?"
He was now almost certain that there were two fragments of the immortal divine nucleus hidden in the giant fern eye.
Li Yi recalled the self-circulating ferns he had seen in various places along the way, and discovered a total of six fern eyes.
Three of them are on the high walls and two are on the dome.
Only this one is located on the surface of the pool.
"The question now is, if I take away the fragments of the immortal divine nucleus, will it affect the carbon-oxygen cycle ecology inside the moon?"
"And how to take it away quietly without attracting a lot of attention."
As for surveillance, Li Yi was not too worried.
As long as he didn't do anything destructive, if he just touched the self-circulating fern and took out the fragments of the divine core with extremely fast hand speed, it would be similar to the feeling of a passerby touching a flower, and it wouldn't be too inconsistent.
The only thing to worry about is the consequences of removing the fragments.
Li Yi thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
He walked in front of Chiqian and took out the fragment of the immortal core hanging in his chest, exposing it outside his uniform.
In an instant, the pale white divine radiation was slowly released and shone under the giant fern in front.
Sure enough, as Li Yi expected, with the stimulation of the divine radiation, the giant ferns that formed an eye seemed to come alive and slowly moved forward.
This movement is not a crawling action, but a strange power generated within the plant, which pushes the surrounding self-circulating ferns to continue to gather forward.
Seeing this, Li Yi made a disguised action of bending down to touch the leaves and continued to tease the self-circulating fern.
