"Pap tap tap~"

The sound like the sound of heels hitting the metal ground pulled Xia Lian out of his memories.

Xia Lian came back from his memories. He looked towards the end of the corridor. In the darkness, two women and a man were walking over.

Their hair is all white, and they wear tight-fitting black tights from the neck down, with some strange energy patterns on them, showing off their figure.

There was armor in some places, but it didn't look like the protection was as strong as the exoskeleton armor worn by the people around Xia Lian.

The white-haired woman at the head was holding a head in her hand, with a spine attached to the head. Blood dripped on the ground. It was very bloody. It looked like they should be those who had just escaped.

They are the real elite troops of the Helios family. Their name is Circe. They are a kind of semi-mechanical life. After artificial intelligence was banned, such modified human troops gradually emerged.

Their white hair is not actually hair, but a high-efficiency fiber-like heat dissipation device.

Of course, under normal conditions, this kind of heat dissipation device is completely useless, but when the internal energy device is overclocked, these hairs will emit particle flows to take away excess heat.

Regardless of whether they are men or women, their feet look like they are wearing high heels, which makes their calf lines look more beautiful.

Of course, those were not actually high heels, or in other words, they were not wearing shoes.

From a human body mechanics perspective, the main force-generating points of the foot are the arch, toes and the muscles on them.

Their arches and toes were retained during the modification and replaced with high-strength alloys, while the muscles were replaced with efficient mechanical devices to save volume.

In layman's terms, the excess flesh is removed and then wrapped in special metal to look like high heels.

The contact area between the foot and the contact surface becomes smaller, resulting in greater pressure, stronger grip, and stronger movement. It can make many difficult movements that humans cannot make.

In addition, there are bionic eyes, bionic ears, artificial organs that provide super senses, and body fluids that filter deadly toxins and provide oxygen for several hours in one breath, etc.

If the person who just came here was this kind of modified person, Xia Lian would have no choice but to wait for death.

The reason why Xia Lian's father died in this life was also because of the rebellion of some reformers.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm late and I wasted some time cleaning up the traitors." The white-haired woman at the head came to Xia Lian and said.

Her name is Mercury, and she used to be his mother's personal guard. Before coming to Cangxing, she was arranged by his mother to be with him.

At this moment, if the other party was a traitor, Xia Lian would be dead by now.

Therefore, whether the other party is an enemy is not within the scope of Xia Lian's consideration. He can only choose to believe it.

Xia Lian nodded and then said.

"Let's talk as we walk."

With that said, he took the lead and walked deeper into this corridor.

The others followed him without hesitation.

Mercury stood beside Xia Lian and said.

"Those traitors did not use the technology of Helios. They were not Circe. They should have been spies who sneaked in. Someone leaked our identification code, which led to a misjudgment of identity.

The fleet is facing the enemy, and the Helios field protecting the star has been shattered. The Bahram family made some manipulations on the shield generating device in advance when they left.

The enemy inside the base has basically been cleared, and the ground troops are facing the enemy. The enemy has blocked Ansible communication and seems to want to keep all of us here."

"It looks like we have to break out." Xia Lian whispered softly.

Wang Zhen said on the other side of Xia Lian: "The fleet must be ambushed on the route to the principality.

We might as well go in the opposite direction to the Galactic Republic or the New Federation and the Atruman star in Andromeda. They all have wormholes.

We can return to the principality through the wormhole there."

Quicksilver thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's feasible, we have a lot of foreign exchange in Xinghai and the New Federation.

The payment certificate is the genetic code of the Helios family."

But Xia Lian shook his head, "The Atrumans can't believe it. Although the Republic and the United States have trade with the Empire, they both regard the people of the Empire as imaginary enemies.

If we go over now, the possibility of being put under house arrest as a bargaining chip to influence the empire is very high. At least, we have to wait until the news has passed."

"Then we..."

Before the words could be finished, they had already walked to the hangar. There was also a starship docked here, with a fuselage length of about 165 meters and a wingspan of 330 meters.

The wing adopts a wing-body fusion, flying wing configuration without tail. The leading edge of the wing meets the nose, and the trailing edge of the wing is in a zigzag shape, which is in line with aerodynamics.

This is a medium-sized stealth assault ship with twelve decks.

Optical and radar invisibility are standard features of almost every starship, but with the detectors of the interstellar era, these invisibility can only deceive lower-level civilizations.

This ship uses the latest phase stealth technology, which is an extension of space technology. The existing detection system is almost invisible. Of course, it will be easily discovered once the weapon system is used and exceeds the speed of light.

At this moment, there were people waiting for them at the entrance of the starship.

They boarded the plane through the lowered entrance of the starship and entered the control room through the elevator.

The exoskeleton armor team following Xia Lian was the main control room operator of the starship, so the starship quickly started moving.

At the same time, the hangar door overhead slowly opened, revealing the planet's sky. The anti-gravity system quickly activated, and the starship instantly broke through gravity and flew into the starry sky.

The starship had about 342 people when it was full, but some of them died in the enemy's first impact.

Some of them are still fighting the enemy at this moment, and the rest are staff such as maintenance personnel and technicians who have never stepped off the starship when they landed on this planet. There are about a hundred people.

It was Xia Lian's father who took this situation into consideration and made preparations to evacuate in time just in case.

In fact, he was not unaware of the dangers of this trip.

However, according to the imperial constitution, the territory of the principality is sacred and inviolable, and the Bahram family cannot invade their territory at the risk of violating the constitution.

However, only after the oath-taking ceremony was performed on this planet in front of the portrait of the Great Emperor, did this land truly legally belong to Helios, and before that, this planet still belonged to Bahram.

Xia Lian can already think of Duke Bahram's words later when he faced public opinion in the empire:

"Blue Star is the land of the Bahram family. The Principality of Helios used strong force to seize our land. This is against the constitution! We are fighting back in self-defense based on legal principles!"

Of course, truly smart people will obviously not believe Lord Bahram's lies, but the truth is always written by the victors.

When everyone in the Helios family shut up and refused to deny this matter, it naturally became true.

So, before that, he must live...

Xia Lian has entered the control room of a starship before, but now the memories of the two lives are merging. When he looks at the control room from a 21st century perspective, everything in front of him is extremely novel to him.

Let’s not talk about the projection screens on the surrounding consoles, nor the star map floating in the air that looks like the Milky Way shrunk countless times, let’s just talk about the surrounding scenery.

In many science fiction works, the way the machine operators observe the universe is usually through a transparent aluminum similar to glass.

But from the outside, this starship does not have any observation windows, and even the nozzles are hidden, but the view inside is extremely broad.

The entire console, which is about fifteen meters in diameter, seems to be floating in the air without any shelter. Below you can see the endless ocean of this planet, and when you look up you can see the clear blue sky and white clouds, as well as the starship light cannon above the clouds.

The radiance that emanates.

Xia Lian, on the other hand, stood on the command podium with his hands behind his back and looked up at the scene above. As he gazed, the scene in front of him quickly zoomed in, revealing the entire extraterrestrial battlefield to everyone.

Due to the lack of timely preparation, their fleet was completely different from the opponent's fleet, and the huge black starship group looked particularly desperate.

Xia Lian came back to his senses and ordered to the operator on the platform.

"Enter super-light speed, break out to the east first."

"Yes, the channel is being calculated...it is expected to take three minutes..."

"I don't have time to calculate for you."

"But...we have never traveled this route. If we hit a star..."

"I'll make the choice for you."

With that said, Xia Lian stepped forward and pulled the control device on the virtual screen panel in front of him all the way.

The hidden pulse device at the rear of the starship emitted a blue glow, and Xia Lian could clearly feel a thrust that pushed the entire starship forward quickly for a certain distance.

The surrounding space and starlight were stretched and distorted, and they seemed to have entered a unique spatial dimension, moving forward at an astonishing speed.

"Where are you going?" Mercury asked.

Xia Lian did not answer her words, but continued to ask the operator.

"Has any massive field interference been detected?"

"No, but phase invisibility will cause subtle spatial fluctuations after entering super-light speed, and the enemy will definitely chase you."

Xia Lian's eyes flashed and he nodded.

"Run out six light years and drop a space shock bomb to lure away the enemy, then turn back and head north."

"yes."

Quicksilver thought for a moment and said, "That's the direction of the Atrumen. Do you want to borrow the Atrumen's wormhole?"

Xia Lian was speechless.

Mercury stared at him and suddenly thought of something, a rare fluctuation appeared on his calm face.

"You want to fight back?"

"Fight back?"

Xia Lian looked into the distance with a sharp look in his eyes.

"It's a counterattack..."
