The first generation and Seven came as the advance team, and later Zoffy's brother and Jack will come after they finish their affairs.
"The front-line base is right here!" Seven checked the star map. He was a star observer and a battlefield guide for the Space Guard during their march. He was very good at this.
A star chart is not a map. All planets are moving. A star chart is a formula for calculating their trajectories.
The destination is an asteroid.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary celestial body that can be found everywhere in the universe, but upon closer inspection, traces of artificial creation are revealed.
"What a great disguise! This is actually a war fortress!"
If it weren't for the star map stating it, they would hardly notice anything unusual even if they got right in front of them.
"The interior of the star core has been modified very well and can be used after a little repair. But it looks very old. Could it be left behind hundreds of thousands of years ago?"
Stepping into the interior of the planet, the First Generation looked around at this fortress built with the planet in mind, including the star-destroying main gun, space shield, and even the power system.
The technological level is no less than that of a level 4 civilization.
"No, it's not hundreds of thousands of years ago." Seven used the equipment to calculate the age, "This relic is two million years old."
That was a time much older than the birth of the Kingdom of Light.
"Two million years ago, was there any civilization near this solar system?"
No one knows, and the records of the Kingdom of Light cannot find the history of the long-ago era before its establishment.
But since it is in the star map, at least the person who recorded the star map knows it.
The fortress has been completely paralyzed, and if it is to be used as a front-line position, a major renovation project is needed.
Zoda could be here at any moment, so now is the time to race against time.
However, a few weeks later, they found that not only did Zoda not come, but many originally unstable places, including the monster cemetery, had returned to peace.
"Zouda is injured, and all invasion operations have been stopped."
This was the information Zoffy brought when he came to this fortress.
"Injured? Is the news confirmed to be true?"
"This is the information the captain got from King Planet."
King Planet, that's confirmed. But it was too sudden, the Kingdom of Light was still preparing for war, who could hurt Zoda?
Zoffy himself also found it incredible.
If it was a large-scale expedition initiated by a certain civilization, but there was no prior information, such a big movement should have attracted the attention of all civilizations in the galaxy.
Unless Zoda is injured instantly with the force of thunder, all civilizations, including the Kingdom of Light, will be kept unaware of it.
Could it be that the king took action personally?
As far as Zoffy could think of, the only person in the universe who had such strength was Ultra King.
But Wang would never do such a thing, and there was no reason for him to do so.
"Then our fortress here..."
"Continue with the arrangements. Taro's training has been confirmed and the location is scheduled to be on Earth. I hope there won't be any mistakes."
"By the way, should we tell Gaia about building a frontline base here?" the first generation suddenly thought.
"Why, you didn't say hello to Gaia? How rude!"
Zoffy thought that the First Generation and Seven had already visited the Earth.
"But aren't we helping the Earth resist Zoda..."
“That’s no excuse.”
Setting up camp at someone's doorstep, no matter what the reason, should be approved by the other party. Even if the purpose of the Kingdom of Light is to protect the peace of the universe, they should abide by the most basic etiquette.
Carrying out military deployment without the permission of a sovereign planet is not providing assistance, but aggression.
It is because they have such a good relationship with the Earth that, apart from the lack of blood ties, they can be considered a family, so they overlooked this point.
When the first generation came to visit, Ling was also doing homework. After all, being a student was her main job.
The first generation still used the image of Hayata.
"We want to station in the Kuiper Belt of the solar system? That's fine, but why is it so far away? The Kuiper Belt is beyond Neptune, so it can't even be reached by sunlight, right?"
Lingye's knowledge of astronomy was at a normal high school level, and he knew what the Kuiper Belt was. It was the outer edge of the solar system, where the light of stars could no longer reach it, and it was a dark star region.
And the Giant of Light cannot be separated from light.
Compared to the Kuiper Belt, Mercury and Venus are obviously more suitable, and Mars, although a little cold, at least it can still get some sunlight. There are only these few solid planets in the solar system.
Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, which are farther away, are all made of gas.
"Actually, it's not very convenient if you're too close."
"inconvenient?"
There was really no need to hide the fact that the prince was experiencing life from Gaia.
Ling was speechless after hearing this. Such things also happened in the Land of Light.
"But please rest assured, Taro is also a brave warrior, and he will never back down when facing the enemy. Aside from being a little impulsive and sometimes acting without thinking, he is also a qualified warrior."
Impulsive, acts without thinking.
The elder brother said this to his younger brother, it was obvious that the first generation had been offended by Taro.
Of course, it is also possible that he did not regard Lingye as an outsider and it was just a joke between friends.
"Besides that, we chose the Kuiper Belt as our defense line because there is a suitable planet there." At this point, Hayata paused. He thought that Gaia might know about that planet.
"There is an asteroid in the Kuiper Belt that is a terraformed planetary fortress, but it is probably two million years old. Has there ever been such a civilization in the solar system?"
Two million years?
This familiar time reminded Ling of that name. She had never forgotten the race that was defeated by the source of destruction and had its entire civilization wiped out.
Shrine
It once left the solar system and reached an extremely brilliant level of civilization.
But they failed just once, just once, and lost everything. They didn't even leave their last bloodline to board Noah's Ark, and disappeared completely.
So, are there actually any traces left?
"Can you take me to see that asteroid?"
Chapter 290 The Lost Battleship
The Kuiper Belt is huge, with the inner layer stretching out to a distance of 25 AU. The asteroid is in a remote and inconspicuous corner.
The TAC team, Beidou was on duty today. Looking at the two light sources on the radar screen rising from the ground and rapidly leaving the atmosphere, he tacitly turned off the alarm.
Leaving the Earth, Gaia's power will be weakened, but fortunately, this is still the solar system, so the weakening is not obvious.
At least Lingya can still maintain Gaia's normal form for a long time.
The Kuiper Belt is about four light-hours away from the Sun and 30 times the distance from the Sun to Earth.
Fortunately, the first generation and Gaia can achieve superluminal speed by folding space in the universe, otherwise they will not be able to return to Earth before dawn tomorrow, and Ling will be late for school.
As a primary school student, being late for school is of course a top priority.
Half an hour later, Gaia, under the guidance of the first generation, arrived at the orbit of the asteroid.
The Kuiper Belt is crowded, but this is judged from the ultra-macroscopic perspective of astronomy. If you really go into it, there is not a single speck of dust within a radius of thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers.
Lonely and empty, that's the universe.
A lone star hangs in the endless black background.
This asteroid, used by the Kingdom of Light as an outpost, is slightly smaller than the moon, with a diameter of about 1000 kilometers.
There is no sun as a light source here. From this angle, the sun is just a tiny point of light, dimmer than a firefly.
But the sky is still full of stars.
Humanity's fleet for exploring the universe is traveling through space at a speed very close to the speed of light. After several years, it has now moved far away from the solar system.
Is this also the sea of stars they see?
Ling also silently withdrew her gaze.
Humans once feared the universe because invaders would always appear from the sky, bringing death.
Only here will we realize that the universe may not have any ill will towards humans. It is just here objectively, neither good nor evil. Beauty and horror are only a thought away.
The asteroid in front of us is rocky and red in color at first glance. It can be seen that it contains a high level of iron, which is somewhat similar to Mars.
There is no water, no air, no sunlight, no conditions for the birth of life.
"Come this way!"
The first generation led her into a canyon, leading to the core of the star.
Then, at a certain moment, the first generation and Gaia were bathed in light. From darkness, they were illuminated by a bright light that ordinary people's eyes could not even accept.
This is the result of the transformation of the Kingdom of Light, with the addition of a life support system.
The artificial sun under the ground is not the Spark Tower of the Kingdom of Light, but just an ordinary small controlled nuclear fusion reactor. It is a pure energy source made from hydrogen fusion, which the people on Earth call Magnerium Energy.
Although this kind of light is not as good as the amplification effect of the Spark Tower, it can at least replenish the energy needed for the daily maintenance of the Ultra Warriors.
It is actually the purest solar energy. Ling also discovered that this light can also make up for Gaia's consumption.
"so beautiful!"
When she saw the scene clearly, Ling couldn't help but exclaimed. Girls always lack some resistance to shiny things, not to mention that this place is really beautiful.
Some new buildings were added to the empty space inside the planet. They were all made of special transparent glass-like materials, looking like a crystal palace, like a fairy tale world.
This is a material unique to the Kingdom of Light, with a high affinity for light. Most importantly, it is strong enough.
Unlike the cement roads on Earth, which would leave a dent with every step of Ultraman and the monsters weighing tens of thousands of tons, even if there was only a thin layer of these materials, it was enough for Ultra Warriors to run and jump. Unless they deliberately destroyed it, normal walking, running and jumping would not cause any deformation.
These crystals create a crystal clear world.
Apart from these new equipment, there are indeed some very ancient relics left here.
A relic from two million years ago.
