Two days later, on the edge of the dragon and snake realm, firefly was stationed.

More than 1000 years ago, at the end of the Republic of Xinghai, the predecessor of firefly was the latest generation of deep space exploration ship.

At that time, the friars of the Republic had placed high hopes on this experimental ship. In its round, whale like hull, they were filled with all the imperial magic weapons that the Republic could find, the relic technology of the flood and famine era - and all the hopes of the people.

This experimental ship would have completed one of the greatest missions: starting from the heart of human civilization, it would explore the four directions of Xinghai to find the lost world in the "doomsday change" war of the collapse of Xinghai Empire, let them rejoin the big family of Xinghai Republic, and create a more brilliant human civilization together!

When the firefly's huge hull first slid out of the spaceshipyard, a total of 99 power units arranged in rhombus bloomed the most dazzling blue light at the same time. Among all the cheering friars of the Republic, no matter how skillful in deduction and calculation, they did not expect the extremely absurd fate of the test ship in the future.

The firefly's first formal voyage was not for exploration and discovery, but for concealment and exile.

In the long journey of exile for thousands of years, at the beginning, firefly really relied on its powerful detection magic weapon to discover many great worlds, and got the support of the practitioners of these worlds.

Countless practitioners, unwilling to submit to the rule of the Empire, carried all their belongings, magical powers and magic weapons on the dazzling starships with different styles. After simple technical transformation, they connected these small starships to the body of the firefly, just like a pot vine attached to a large ship, Or small fish swimming with the blue whale.

The advanced star sea jumping matrix on the firefly can release special protective light film to avoid the collision and fusion accidents that are likely to happen when two starships jump in the star sea at close range.

This kind of technology made it possible for hundreds of starships to jump closely together at the same time, and also constructed the basic form of firefly in the next few hundred years.

At its peak, with the "Xinghai Republic deep space exploration test ship" firefly as the center, nearly 600 large and small starships were attached around, forming a huge exile team with a total population of more than 500 million.

After several thrilling encirclement and suppression battles, although it escaped the imperial encirclement and interception, the number of star ships forming the "firefly group" also dropped from more than 600 to less than 300, most of which were powerless and uninhabitable, The empty iron coffin was dragged in the army, and the population fell by 80%, on the verge of collapse.

Before meeting the starshine Federation, the firefly was like a half rotten whale, drifting with the tide in the deep sea of stars. It knew that its body was slowly decaying, but it could not get rid of any "iron coffin", because in the sea of stars where resources were scarce, that is, from the completely abandoned starships, many useful pieces could be broken down, Help them survive for a while.

Yes, for the firefly and the "orthodox government" of the Republic of Xinghai at that time, what could they do except survive?

The overhaul of such a star ship, or "a bunch" of them, which has been in exile for thousands of years, is undoubtedly a long-term and huge project. Its difficulty and consumption are no less than that of refining hundreds of star ships.

Fortunately, the firefly from the center of the Xinghai sea, compared with the "Hicks" on the edge of the Xinghai sea such as Xingyao Federation, has no clean family.

The government in exile exchanged a large amount of resources from Xingyao Federation with the excellent technology and secret skills from Xinghai central government, built a large-scale dock and floating maintenance base station on the edge of dragon and snake star domain, and launched the hot maintenance.

They even purchased a large number of starships directly from the Xingyao Federation. After a little modification, they were connected to their own bodies to increase the space for activities and improve the quality of life. In the space environment without gravity and resistance, no matter how swaggering and strange the shape of the starship, its navigation ability would not be affected.

Therefore, from the transport ship carrying resources, the firefly, which is now illuminated by the red giant like a flaming red awn, does not look like a firefly. Instead, hundreds of fireflies gather together and are surrounded by rings of orbit, docks, floating star harbor and visuki station.

Hundreds of transport ships were carrying supplies to them, and hundreds of thousands of repairmen were wearing crystal armor, working hard in the cold vacuum outside the firefly, just like a group of ants struggling in the sea of stars.

A transport ship without any signs on its surface, which seems to be ordinary, passes through a circular track dock, and then passes a star ship which has long been scrapped and peeled off from the body of the firefly, ready to be completely demolished, and slowly sails towards the body of the firefly, that is, the deep space exploration ship which escaped from the polar world more than a thousand years ago.

Today, the deep space exploration ship has long been beyond recognition. Its shell is densely connected with hundreds of traffic hoses, which connects it with other star ships around, like the heart of numerous blood vessels.

The transport ship is moving slowly. Now it has completely reached the interior of the firefly. Countless close defense naval guns are skillfully rotating in all directions. Invisible locking dark light is passing by from time to time. There are hundreds of fully armed Armored Divisions floating in the vacuum. The shoulder mounted crystal magnetic guns are all unsealed, and the muzzle of the guns is flashing stars from time to time, Behind the cold mask, there seemed to be sharp eyes staring at the transport ship.

A few kilometers from the heart of the firefly, the carrier slid into a secret dock.

"Chi..."

The huge airtight gate slowly closed, just like two rows of teeth of the steel giant bite together.

In the dock, there were hundreds of fully armed armored divisions.

They are all secret police of the Ministry of interior of the government in exile to welcome a special batch of "goods".

The hatch at the stern of the carrier opened down, and a ladder and a cargo conveyor belt emerged.

Some members of the "election observer mission" were escorted down by various means, while the others, considered to be more dangerous "traitors", were sent down by freight conveyor belt in special box type restraints.

Of all the people present, only a very few did not wear crystal armor.

Including a middle-aged woman in a black windbreaker, with a stern face and incomplete left eye, who was replaced with three scarlet crystal eyes.

She is Cheng xuansu, the head of the special investigation team of the Ministry of interior of the government in exile, and the commander of the arrest

"Wait!"

When most of the prisoners were escorted to the shuttle car inside the Starship and were ready to be sent to the secret cell, Cheng xuansu suddenly stopped. Three crystal eyes, which were installed on the same round base, slowly rotated, released a faint red light and shot at a prisoner who was held in a box type restraint.

That's... Tang Xiaoxing!

"Chief!"

One of the secret police escorting Tang Xiaoxing stands at attention.

Cheng xuansu carefully looked at Tang Xiaoxing, who was in deep sleep. He said faintly, "I'll repeat the process of capturing Tang Xiaoxing again. Such a weapon refiner, who has no power to bind a chicken, has escaped from you twice?"

"Yes."

The secret police hesitated for a moment and said, "the first time we used the" shock bomb "to try to knock her out and then arrest her. Who knows that she was not affected by the shock bomb and slipped away quietly, even set a trap and severely injured six members of our team; The second time we have caught her, who knows suddenly killed a mysterious tactical team and rescued her again; It wasn't until the third time, with the cooperation of the Four Saints' chamber of Commerce, we kept narrowing the encirclement, and through the monitoring crystal eye of Yulong City, we locked her hiding place according to her walking posture. "

"The other side seems to have used the strategy of" attacking the West with the East ". Most of the people are out in circles with us. There are not many people around Tang Xiaoxing. When things go wrong, they have to give up Tang Xiaoxing to break through."

Cheng xuansu asked without expression: "from beginning to end, how long did Tang Xiaoxing leave your control?"

"No more than six hours," the secret police replied

"Six hours?"

Cheng xuansu sneered, "what's more, the other side has an" anti tracking expert "who has found all the tracking and locking chips we set up on Tang Xiaoxing?"

The secret police hesitated: "yes."

Cheng xuansu looked at his subordinates coldly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "help me prepare a sterile room, and then call two policewomen to come here. I want to check her body."

Secret police slightly a Zheng way: "in the fish Dragon City, we have a comprehensive scan, she had nothing."

Cheng xuansu looks at his subordinates.

The secret police slightly trembled and gasped: "I understand. Now prepare the sterile room!"

Half an hour later.

Cheng xuansu came out of the aseptic room, holding a small glass bottle in his hand. In the bottle lay a little red bead.

"This is --"

The secret police, who are responsible for arresting and escorting Tang Xiaoxing, are sweating.

"Anti tracking experts must also be tracking experts. You don't understand such a simple truth?"

Cheng xuansu frowned and looked at his subordinates, "I have carefully studied the action report you sent back yesterday. The person who was with Tang Xiaoxing at the beginning was obviously a real expert, and the team who attacked you behind were all well-trained experts. Do you really think that Tang Xiaoxing would spit out so easily when he fell into their hands?"
