The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 277： Ether Dragon Hatching
”Yo ho!”

Li Qing was not surprised but delighted. The stronger the defense in this kind of grave-digging ruins, the higher the probability of good things.

He is not afraid of how strong the resistance is, but he is afraid that no resistance will let him in, so don’t expect good things.

Soon the second batch of ground troops will be prepared, a large number of two-star army alien monsters, the total number is about 2,000. Generally speaking, in the narrow underground terrain, such monsters are more suitable than modern troops.

The alien monster with thick skin and strong recovery force rushed into the passage, and a small group of sentinel drones followed in. The electronic equipment on the drone took pictures of the situation inside.

It can be seen that the opponent of the alien monster is another alien monster. The size is not much different, but the combat power is not as good. He can’t beat him head-on, but there are enough of them, two against one can fight pass.

All the way forward, the pig rushed to the end of the passage, and came to a gate deep underground.

Obviously, this is an underground base.

The gate was cut open with a welding torch, and strange monsters of various shapes that had never been seen rushed out from inside.

The battle lasted for almost half a day, and they rushed to the three-story base in one breath. The battle was not over until a large alien monster lying in a huge cultivation tank was killed at the bottom.

Then, two Servant of Light army generals led a large group of clone soldiers out to evacuate the entire underground base.

By the time the information in the underground base was collected and handed over to Li Qing, it was already two days later.

It’s cool to have subordinates who are capable. Just give an order with your mouth, and your subordinates will make arrangements for you.

According to the data, this is a biological experiment base of an ancient advanced civilization, mainly researching and improving the original ground troops of alien monsters.

There was no accident at the experimental base behind, but as the civilization lost the battle with another advanced civilization, this star field was occupied, and the underground experimental base was closed, and then it was never seen again until now it was opened.

In addition to storing a large number of technologies related to biological genes in the base, the complete benefit is an improved alien monster technology, which can be strengthened on the basis of the original alien monster.

But the strength is limited, normal 2-star alien monsters can fight two against one.

This can only be said to be of little use to Li Qing, but for ordinary players, this gain is very good.

In addition, several different coordinates were found from the abandoned central optical brain of this underground base. Not surprisingly, they should be other experimental sites of the ruined civilization in ancient times.

Li Qing didn’t go to run in person, but asked a few of his subordinates to take a coordinate and take a look.

It has been so many years, and there is a high probability that other experimental bases no longer exist.

Staying in place and waiting, Li Qing stood in the center of the bridge, looked at the huge star map projection in front of him, and tapped somewhere on it, thoughtfully.

That location is the territory of the player civilization of the Zenoer star group, which is tens of thousands of light years away. Judging from the latest updated star map, the player civilization of the Zenoer star group and another Isabel player civilization are actually in the same area .

Among them, the Zenoer star group does extend from the shield spiral arm on the other side, and it is not known how much star field they occupy in the shield spiral arm.

But since he has the time to explore the galactic center area, the territory of his own star field is probably not too small, and his strength must be stronger than humans if nothing unexpected happens.

The Isabel player civilization is in the silver plate area, just facing the shield spiral arm, and the Isabel star field is directly facing the shield spiral arm.

To Li Qing’s surprise, the two civilizations are not very far apart. The nearest place in the middle is only a buffer star field with a width of less than 200 light-years. Putting it on the map of the Milky Way is equivalent to directly bordering each other.

Li Qing was surprised that the two players’ civilization borders did not start a full-scale war.

There are only two possibilities for this situation to occur. One possibility is that the strengths of the two sides are not much different. They have tried it early, but no one can do anything about it.

Another situation is that there is something special that prevents them from fully engaging, such as another powerful player civilization nearby, etc., or a threat like Thalnor devouring the swarm, etc.

It is unlikely that Sarnoo devoured the bee colony. The distance between the two is more than two trillion light years, and there are two civilizations in the middle. It is impossible to affect the war between them.

Li Qing guessed that there is a high probability that the strength of the two sides is not much different.

In addition, the two civilizations are located in the Yinpan area, surrounded by powerful civilizations, even non-player civilizations are not vegetarians, they want an all-out war, and they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity.

After waiting for five days, the warships sent out returned one after another, and those coordinates were already empty.

The fleet continued to move forward, cleaning up the wild monsters encountered along the way, and occasionally destroying them with great fanfare when encountering abnormalities, collecting large and small coordinate chips.

Forget about white boards and green ones. It’s a waste of time digging them up and there will be no good things. He only digs blue ones and above.

Quality above blue can only be obtained by destroying abnormalities, and such advanced coordinate chips are rarely seen in normal wild monsters.

Then wandering all the way, while digging graves, just wandering in this star field without belonging.

Time passed, the sun and the moon flew back and forth, four months passed without knowing it, and he also crossed a distance of four to five thousand light years without knowing it, and came to the easternmost part of the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire. It shows that it has come to a narrow fringe star field between the spiral arm of the silver disk Perseus and the spiral arm of the shield.

This star field is close to the edge of the galactic disk. It is a long strip of star field with a length of nearly 10,000 light-years and a width of only a thousand light-years.

Marked on the star map is a chaotic star field without belonging. There are five civilizations fighting year after year with the support of different powerful nearby civilizations, trying to compete for the final winner to become the master of this star field.

One day four months later, Li Qing’s fleet plunged into this star field.

Destroyed a large anomaly before and obtained a purple signal chip. It was in this chaotic star field that he led the fleet over.

At the beginning, it was no different from the star field where he wandered before, but when he entered a galaxy in the chaotic star field, he received a public communication automatically sent from the central outpost of the galaxy, indicating that he had arrived at a certain civilization. within the territory.

A small fleet like his can report or not, and a small fleet of this size can’t do much.

But if you don’t report it, you will be easily accidentally injured, and some important galaxies cannot be entered, such as the capital galaxy of the local civilization.

Li Qing thought about it, his goal is not these small civilizations, he should report it to facilitate activities.

Just as he was about to contact the outpost, Li Qing suddenly stopped, and then with a surprised expression on his face, he muttered to himself:

”No way!”

Parking the fleet in place, he turned his head and entered the universe in the palm of his hand.

As soon as he entered, he felt a life body with super vitality appeared in the universe in his palm at some point, and a familiar feeling emerged spontaneously.

With a thought, the person disappeared, and appeared again somewhere in the void on the edge of the high-dimensional fortress. At a glance, he saw a huge and incomparable figure swimming flexibly in the burning edge flames of the high-dimensional fortress.

It was an extremely huge existence, with a body length of thousands of kilometers. It looked like a golden dragon fish, with a huge mouth that could swallow stars. red light.

There is an extremely thick crystalline cuticle on the surface of the body, a large piece of super large crystalline scales with a diameter of tens of kilometers glows red, and it is faintly visible that there seems to be lava flowing inside.

There are a large number of huge pupils above the big mouth on the head, and hot flames flow between the pupils and overflow.

Thick and long tentacles grow on the back, extending to the caudal fin that opens like a goldfish. The caudal fin is covered with a thick film of flame light, forming a huge wing that **** with the swimming light feathers , overflowing with light.

emmm

”What is this stuff?”

Li Qing looked at some eggshells not far away with a look of surprise, pondered a little, and suddenly realized.

That thing is a huge sphere made of star diamonds, a Leviathan egg, which was snatched from the Octopus consortium in the Zutar star field a long time ago. It has been placed in the palm of the universe for a long time. After the energy, it finally hatched at this time.

At this moment, after the giant beast found Li Qing, it ran towards him quickly. It looked like a pet running towards its owner, except that the pet was a bit big.

Li Qingjing stood still on the spot, and waited for the giant starry sky beast to fly in front of him quickly, then took the initiative to slow down and slide to stop in front of him.

Hundreds of huge eyes that were blazing with flames just looked at him like this. Through the flames, one could see the clear crystal eyes underneath, as well as a trace of caution, intimacy, and attachment inside.

”What a pet!”

Li Qing stretched out his hand, and lightly pressed it on the crystalline scales on the head of the behemoth in front of him, and a piece of information instantly appeared out of thin air.

”An etheric dragon?”

The information is the identity data of this behemoth. It comes from the data recorded in the universe in the palm. It is unsealed the moment it is touched. In addition to the data, it also unlocks several related technologies by the way.

The ancient Stargazer civilization recorded a large amount of Leviathan information, and they divided Leviathan into several levels according to their strength.

The first category, conventional Leviathan: Generally speaking, it refers to the giant Leviathan whose strength is within the comprehensible range. Nothing.

The Star Devourer and the World Devourer among the few Leviathans recorded by human beings are all regular Leviathans.

The second category, Super Leviathan: Generally speaking, it refers to the collective name of Leviathan monsters whose strength is beyond the scope of understanding. The strength also spans a large range. Anyway, I can’t understand it. Stronger and stronger don’t make much sense. .

For example, it is located in the northern border of the empire, in a certain black hole galaxy at the junction of the United Empire of Mankind and the Bruwan United Civilization. The super worm-shaped Leviathan with half of its body inside the black hole and half of its body outside the black hole belongs to this system. one level.

The third category, racial Leviathan: The strength of this kind of Leviathan is uncertain, some strength is only between the regular Leviathan, and some strength is equivalent to the super Leviathan.

The special thing is that this Leviathan is not like other Leviathans, which is basically the only one in the entire universe, but a group.

The vast majority of Leviathans are unique individuals, even the giant Leviathans evolved from the day after tomorrow are unique, and it is impossible for their original siblings to copy the evolutionary model of their predecessors to evolve a second giant Leviathan. beast.

The race Leviathan refers to the entire group of this species, and all the individuals are super starry sky behemoths of the Leviathan level.

For example, the ether dragon is this kind of race Leviathan. The little ether dragon in front of me has just hatched and has eggs. There must be a female ether dragon that lays eggs and hides them in a planet.

What surprised Li Qing even more was that Leviathans like the Aether Dragon actually existed in the records of the Negative Star.

This is very scary.

We must know that the star-negative civilization is a product of another cosmic era. Generally speaking, as the universe dies, everything in the entire universe shrinks infinitely into a singularity and then explodes to form a new universe. No existence can survive this wave of explosions and continue until The next cosmic epoch.

Even the Stargazer civilization was so powerful back then, and all the immortal-level psykers created an era-crossing artifact like the Palm Universe, but it failed in the end.

No, and it cannot be said to be a complete failure. At least they have passed down the universe in their hands and their own technology, and the seeds of civilization have also been passed down.

Now Li Qing has inherited the universe in the palm of his hand and inspired a new star negative, which means that the fire of civilization of the negative star has been rekindled and passed on again.

Having said that, Li Qing, as the successor of the star-negative civilization, can confirm that in the records of the star-negative, there are indeed traces of ether dragons in the universe of a certain cosmic era, and the ether dragon in the records is the same as the little ether dragon in front of him. exactly the same.

This is where it gets interesting.

Li Qing looked at the little ether dragon in front of him in amazement. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t imagine that this little guy’s race could be so powerful that he could cross the cosmic era.

He really wanted to know how the clansmen of the ether dragon survived the process of the infinite contraction of the universe into a singularity and the terrifying power of the big bang.

Now that it can cross the cosmic era, the strength of the ether dragon needs no description, it is absolutely powerful.

But that refers to the adult Ether Dragon. Now it is just a juvenile Ether Dragon, so there is no need to expect strong combat power. At this stage, it can only be kept as a pet mascot in the palm universe.

Normally speaking, it takes tens of millions of years for an ether dragon to grow from birth to full adulthood, which is an unimaginably long time, but staying in the universe in the palm and receiving the energy infusion of the universe in the palm can grow at an extremely fast speed.

As for how fast it will be, it depends on how the Palm Universe is repaired.

But no matter how fast it is, there will be no hope at this stage for a while.

Li Qing happily flew to the top of Ether Dragon’s head, stretched out his hand to touch the crystalline dragon scales on her head, thought for a while, stretched out his hand to grab the sky, the sky filled with light gathered in his palm, and then he pressed his palm and submerged into Ether Dragon’s body .
