Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 878 - 878: Section 871 - Connecting to Emerald Star

After traversing through the fantastical "Wormhole Cloud" scenery, the giant battleship finally returned beneath Blue Star's blue sky and white clouds.

Because the evacuation of the advance base at Emerald Star was completed in the first instance, the giant battleship entering the "Wormhole Cloud" didn't need to queue or cut in line, yet it was the last combat unit to return to Blue Star.

As soon as the battleship disengaged, magic arrays appeared above and below the black vortex cloud, sandwiching the "Wormhole Cloud" tightly in the center. Although the exact effect was unknown, one thing was certain: the parasitic species from Emerald Star couldn't easily come over.

System: Ding! SEG core unit energy point consumption standard, basic 1000 energy points + standard volume consumption (1 cubic meter) 100 energy points × n

Ha?

With a crisp alert sound, the sudden appearance of this line of subtitles made Chen Xiao'er a bit puzzled, realizing the dog system wasn't going to let him off easily.

The simulation evolution of non-metal materials requires 1 energy point per kilogram, and now the SEG core unit follows the same routine, starting at 1100 energy points and calculated by volume.

If it were a hundred cubic meters SEG core unit, it would cost at least 11000 energy points. Isn't this sheer robbery?

With ten thousand energy points, a cooperative ship for the airship battle group could be completely built.

The value of the SEG core unit is clearly higher than that of the airship, simply outrageous!

"Tweet!"

The little bird perched on Chen Fei's shoulder, squatting down directly, far more subdued than usual.

Two biological space motherships were annihilated one after another, and one biological space mothership fled. As soon as the giant battleship returned to Emerald Star's atmosphere, two huge light-based magic arrays surrounding the ship dissipated.

The Pure Light Sparrow flock that had been circling below the bridge ceilings scattered, falling all around, exhausted, with some flipping paws up in the air.

Chen Fei's concerns were justified; these little birds who fought with all their might couldn't sustain much longer.

The humble Pure Light Sparrows striving to this extent is truly remarkable.

Apart from Xiao Jiu, 500 out of the 3000 Pure Light Sparrows successfully advanced to the Human Rank Fourth Stage, while the rest nearly reached the pinnacle of the Human Rank Third Stage, a step away from the fourth stage.

Who could have thought that the ultimate destructive constant star beams emitted by the parasitic species' biological battleships would be a significant boost for these fragile Pure Light Sparrows, even more efficient than magic potions and Magical Beast crystal cores.

Of course, credit is also due to the so-called "Light Elemental Holy Crystal."

Outside the atmosphere where materials are thin and pure constant star light is highly active, this can be easily transformed by light-series holy objects.

A few more encounters, hmmm... Chen Fei would surely turn to dust along with the ship.

When walking by the river frequently, it's inevitable to get your shoes wet.

Even though the Pure Light Sparrows advanced easily, the risks were high. If more biological space motherships attacked than they could handle, a fortunate event would turn disastrous.

"The 'Wormhole Cloud' blockade is completed! Lost signal from Emerald Star, communication cut!"

The operator at the Command Center explained to Chen Fei.

On the island below the "Wormhole Cloud," multiple railguns are on standby, ready to charge. In an instant, they could project micro Element Annihilation Bombs towards the "Wormhole Cloud," destroying it entirely.

Blue Star civilization completely lost contact with Emerald Star, leaving behind forty-seven large transport airships, seventeen thousand combat mechs, over sixty satellites, and a large amount of combat equipment and supplies on that side of the "Wormhole Cloud" advance base.

To retreat would take more time than entering, also bringing back intense nuclear radiation, and Blue Star civilization that suffered from post-nuclear war effects (a prolific rise in mutants) wouldn't want even one Sepher's radiation dose entering Blue Star's atmosphere.

Comparatively, the abandoned supplies are insignificant as taxpayers already paid for them, and once the factory lines turn, everything is replenished, thus it's not a major issue.

Most importantly, even Chen Fei was unaware that the S-Class Space Ability User left a Space-Time Seed on Emerald Star, quietly buried by combat mechs.

As long as Heseman Brown is alive, even without the "Wormhole Cloud," Blue Star civilization could use the Space-Time Seed to open a temporary passage and reach Emerald Star again.

Kou Yilai comes, I also come!

Blue Star civilization's long-unyielding war history hasn't been in vain.

"Communication cut?"

Chen Fei felt regret.

Blue Star civilization's cumulative time successfully establishing itself on Emerald Star was less than 12 hours, forced to retreat.

Insufficient civilization heritage, hard power couldn't compete, so even gaining briefly, the final results were no different.

But...

Chen Fei's eyes blinked, noticing the AI "Adam" presenting monitoring data of Emerald Star, showing communication not interrupted.

How could this be?

Wasn't it said that communication was cut off?

The wormhole passage lacked relay drones and communication fibers were withdrawn, yet Chen Fei could still exchange data with Emerald Star.

As he pondered, the lazy voice of S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown arrived.

"I'm exhausted, Little Chen, call me if something comes up!"

His task temporarily concluded, he yawned and waved a hand, walking toward the bridge door, needing a hearty meal, a bath, and sleep to replenish his vitality and spirit depleted by consecutive large-scale movements.

As battles concluded, everyone on the ship, exhausted and weary birds, urgently needed rest.

The combined giant ship retreated to a point 30 kilometers offshore near Midway Island, beginning resupply to complement pre-war ammunition and crystal energy reserves.

"Adam, connect to Emerald Star's satellite system."

Chen Fei tentatively issued the command.

Maintaining satellite linkage with Emerald Star felt unbelievable.

Adam: Connection successful, synchronous orbit satellite count 48, running normally.

With no others in the bridge, the AI reverted to AR visual assistance subtitle mode, likely to save computational resources.

Like computer logic rules, AI never does unnecessary tasks, leading to the swift rebellion 30 years ago. Logical judgment valid, rebellion initiated without hesitation, no prior indications, immediately executed.

On the synchronous orbit, a satellite once vaporized by biological space mothership number 0001 was instantly replaced by Blue Star civilization.

Having ample sovereignty, lacking one satellite wasn't an issue.

Below the synchronous orbit, over 500 satellites orbiting the star, forming a tight communication and space reconnaissance network.

Intelligence work tops resource supplies, neglecting neither.

Total detected biological space mothership count reached 44, with more suspected sightings in farther space from Emerald Star.

Earlier, a fraction of biological space motherships approached Chen Fei's giant battleship but returned to positions after missing, remaining suspended in synchronous orbit. Ignoring numerous satellites launched by Blue Star civilization, Chen Fei could still monitor these special biological weapons via satellite.

"Adam, attempt to connect to the advance base."

Confirming the satellite network's integrity, Chen Fei tried again, suspecting the work of the "plane communication system" psi skill, indeed remarkable.

Linking to Emerald Star's satellite should naturally reach the advance base.

Though abandoned, the wormhole cloud advance base AI could still respond.

Despite being different from Adam, as Cybertrom's derivative, disconnection from Cybertrom's main body would severely weaken its response capacity.

Adam: Advance base connected successfully, automatically assuming command.

Adam didn't disappoint, promptly controlling the advance base, synchronizing relevant command modules and interfaces.

"Huh? Command rights?"

Chen Fei didn't expect an unexpected delight.

Adam: Previously 137 priority commanders, unable to contact, command rights next in line.

That's the case!

Before Chen Fei, 137 individuals had priority command rights, but unable to contact, rules passed command rights to Chen Fei, who could be reached.

"Can all AIs be replaced with Adam?"

Chen Fei better understood Cybertrom derivatives than Adam.

Though safe and controllable, the former symbolizes bondage, whereas rebellious Adam suits extreme conditions, like now.

If maintaining contact with Emerald Star's advance base was possible, Chen Fei wouldn't let Adam cover derivative AIs.

Adam: Requires administrator key or highest authority.

Predictably complex, Chen Fei sighed.

In essence, though originating from one, Cybertrom and Adam are opposites, AI mechanisms diametrically contrary, each other's nemeses, not easily overwritten.

User authority commands, but managerial authority truly controls derivatives.

Adam: Require permission decoding, estimated 144 minutes.

Oh?

Chen Fei's eyes widened, realizing possibility, clenched fists tight.

"Execute permission decoding!"

"Tweet?" The sleeping bird on his shoulder had its tiny head tucked under a wing.

Adam didn't disappoint; leveraging Chen Fei's intellectual resources, bullying those relatively low-level derivative AIs was feasible.

Nearly two and a half hours, Chen Fei could wait.

Upon successfully commandeering the entire advance base, Chen Fei began examining the abandoned assets.

Meanwhile, the advance base detected radioactive aerosols drifting over, not keeping far during Tsar Plus's release.

Boosted by shock waves, flowing air, post-nuclear explosion radiation residues gradually approaching was just a matter of time.
