Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Chapter 59 Unknown Interference?

The wind howled, the engine roared...

At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, four anti-ship torpedoes dragged long orange tail flames and fell straight to the ground.

The pyramid spacecraft seemed to sense the attack from the sky.

The ice layer vibrated violently, and the blue light under the ice layer shone more brightly.

"Crack..."

With a burst of "crackling" sounds, the ice layer around the pyramid broke one after another.

Amid the rumbling roar, the huge pyramid spacecraft slowly rose from the ground.

As it took off and fought for the restraint of the ice layer, the hull of the pyramid spacecraft became larger and larger.

700 meters, 900 meters, 1,000 meters, 2,000 meters...

When the pyramid spacecraft broke away from the ice layer, the length of its hull exceeded 2,000 meters and its height was close to 1,800 meters.

What was weird was that some huge blue spore creatures were attached to the surface of the pyramid spacecraft.

Some huge tentacles were seen dancing, as if...

It was as if the spacecraft was parasitized.

This made the pyramid look very hideous and terrifying, making people's scalp numb.

Controlled...

Li Meng in the distant sky also saw the true posture of the pyramid building.

It was obvious that the spore creatures parasitizing the pyramid spacecraft controlled the pyramid spacecraft.

"Swoosh..."

Facing the anti-ship torpedoes attacking from the sky, the pyramid spacecraft responded.

More than ten thick blue beams shot out and attacked the anti-ship torpedoes in the sky.

"Boom..."

At an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, an anti-ship torpedo was hit and exploded in mid-air.

Because the warhead was not activated, the power of the torpedo detonation was small and did not affect the anti-ship torpedoes behind.

From the explosion flames, three anti-ship torpedoes shuttled out one after another.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, it can hit in 0.5 seconds.

The ultra-high speed and friction with the air turned the three anti-ship torpedoes into three fireballs again.

A shocking scene appeared.

Facing the interception of blue beams, three huge fireballs fell from the sky.

Its speed was so fast that a flash of fire turned into three fire marks that hit the pyramid spaceship.

"Boom..."

There was a deafening explosion of a torpedo.

A dazzling flash of fire was seen, and three huge mushroom clouds rose up.

The air waves visible to the naked eye spread out layer by layer and circle by circle.

The powerful shock wave mixed with flames tore through the hull layer by layer, destroying everything.

Countless huge spore creatures were swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes.

The two-kilometer-long hull was directly torn into one-third.

The pyramid spaceship, which had just taken off for less than two hundred meters, fell headfirst into the ice layer with the groaning of metal.

"Boom..."

There was a loud bang, and the pyramid spaceship with flames all over its body hit the ice layer heavily.

"Not enough, far from enough..."

With just a glance, Li Meng knew that there were still spore creatures alive in the wreckage of the pyramid spaceship.

"Ralph, keep bombarding, keep bombarding..."

In the bridge of the Alfred, Ralph heard the voice of "King".

He stood up and shouted: "Lock on the target wreckage, high-explosive warhead, ten rounds in a row!"

Outside, dense flames flashed, and one anti-ship torpedo after another shot out from the launch tube.

Anti-ship torpedoes with a diameter of 20 meters and a length of more than 100 meters dragged long orange tail flames and broke into the atmosphere.

Looking at the sky from the surface of the planet, ten big fireballs appeared in the sky.

In less than 20 seconds, a series of fire marks swept vertically from the sky and crashed into the wreckage of the pyramid spacecraft.

"Boom..."

The deafening explosion sounded suddenly.

A huge group of mushroom clouds of flames rose up and rushed thousands of meters into the sky.

Layers and circles of air waves swept around, and metal debris flew all over the sky.

A strong wind blew in his face, causing the psychic shield around Li Meng, who was more than ten kilometers away, to shine.

On the ice field ahead, Li Meng was admiring the most stunning fireworks.

Although the warhead of the anti-ship torpedo was not a nuclear bomb, its explosion was amazing.

There was no grass growing within a kilometer, and the rising mushroom cloud of flames was thousands of meters high.

[Current mission progress: 100%, mission completed, mission reward: +10 million trade coins, credited]

The golden subtitles that passed by let Li Meng know that the mission had been completed.

It's over...

Looking at the vast ice field below again, Li Meng spread his wings and flew straight into the sky...

Among all the earthlings, Li Meng is probably the only one who broke through the atmosphere with his physical body.

"King..."

In the harbor of the Alfred.

Looking at the golden figure flying in from the gate, the priests of science and technology and the soldiers of the Star Army all knelt on the ground.

The slaves even put their faces close to the bed and whispered, and even their breathing became much weaker.

Stepping on the metal ground, the golden wings behind him gradually dissipated.

Without stopping in the harbor, he walked forward amid the kneeling ceremony of the technology priests and the soldiers of the Star Army.

It was not until Li Meng left for a long time that the people in the harbor stood up.

There was curiosity, reverence, and even fanaticism in their eyes...

The living saint has always existed in legends, but now, they have seen it with their own eyes.

"King!"

In the bridge, seeing the king coming in, Ralph quickly stood up.

Stopping in front of the window, Li Meng looked at the frozen planet outside.

"Ralph, what do you think of this planet?"

Following the gaze of the "king", Ralph looked at the frozen planet outside the window.

He replied: "It is not too far from the star, nor too close. The planet itself has a lot of water resources and excellent conditions for transformation. However, once the ice melts, this planet may become a mercury. Large-scale colonization is unrealistic. It is suitable for aquaculture bases and can also be used as a large energy collection base."

In the universe, water resources are very important. They are the source of life for all carbon-based life.

Planet transformation must meet three conditions.

It cannot be too far from the star, nor too close. If it is too far, the sunlight cannot be sufficient and the temperature is not suitable for human survival.

The gravity of the planet cannot be too high or too low. It must be equivalent to that of the earth.

The planet must have a magnetic field, the core cannot be extinguished, and it must have an atmosphere.

It is not enough to meet these three conditions. There must also be a lot of water resources.

If there is no large amount of water resources in this star system, the cost of planet transformation will be very huge.

An icy planet with gravity equivalent to that of the earth, an atmosphere, an active magnetic field, and not too far from the star.

Its value is self-evident...

"Go back, we will come back one day..."

It is good and valuable.

But now is not the time to develop this planet.

First, there is a lack of technology to transform the planet.

Second, there are not enough people to build in both places.

"King, I want to stay here for a few days..."

Li Meng looked back at Ralph and asked, "Why?"

Ralph explained, "Since the Alfred entered the planet's orbit, the auspex array has been disturbed by some unknown interference. Although the impact is not great, the auspex array has become extremely unstable. Perhaps there is something on the planet."
