The aircraft was rapidly approaching that place.
In this serene environment, that huge thing looked just like an irregular object formed by ice crystals and meteorites sticking together.
To the uninformed, it would certainly be mistaken for an ordinary meteorite in the starry sky.
But after hearing Daphneâs words, Jia Yan knew that was their target.
This place was filled with star-grade materials of all sizes, and the aircraft seemed to find it difficult to get close from afar.
If their opponent was a civilization base similar to the one where Daphne came from, they should have detected them by now.
Yet, so much time had passed and there hadnât been any response!
âWe have not approached their defense zone yet; they do not want to waste energy.
It will be different in a bit!
Mr.
Giant Mosquito, if the aircraft gets blown up later, donât panic.
Your body can ensure you survive in a vacuum for a while.
But letâs hope that such a thing will not happen.â
Daphne focused heavily on the scenery ahead.
It seemed that at this moment, she was already accumulating her strength.
After all, even for her, this was a life-or-death battle.
âI must go to the Empire!â Under Jia Yanâs curious gaze, she clenched her fist tightly.
This woman seemed to have an unusually firm conviction about reaching her ideal Empire.
The aircraft seemed to slow down significantly.
The planetary ring zone ahead seemed to be a place made of small star-grade materials stretching over thirty kilometers wide.
It was filled with countless floating ice crystals and meteorites revolving around Neptune.
Against the backdrop of the blue Neptune, this planet had a huge storm flare.
Even at such a high point in the universe, one could see the flare rapidly devouring everything around it.
Neptuneâs storm was the most powerful among all the gas giants in the solar system, with its maximum wind speed reaching over two thousand kilometres per hour, completely surpassing the speed of sound on Earth!
The cause of the planetâs storm is because it has a huge temperature difference inside it.
Being so far from the Sun, this Neptune should not have a high-temperature possibility, after all, it cannot gain energy from the distant Sun.
However, it defied peopleâs understanding, possessing an extremely high temperature.
As far as humans can tell, on the liquid surface of Neptune, there are âdiamondsâ formed due to high temperatures.
These diamonds could totally cover the surface of Neptune, and their size and significance are incomparable to those produced on Earth.
These elements are not uncommon; the situation is similar on Uranus.
Perhaps the Auster people were interested in Neptuneâs diamonds but having found that these werenât what they needed, they promptly transformed their mining base into a signalling base on behalf of Earth.
Perhaps their exploration of the major planets in the solar system didnât uncover anything of value, leading to them abandoning this stellar system and traveling into the seemingly endless universe.
Who knows where they are now!
Now, Earth has discovered the highly precious âstar-condensed substanceâ.
Once this signal base sends a signal, the exploration spaceship that left three hundred years ago would come back and collect the star-condensed substance from Earth.
And for them, being able to collect this substance might earn them rewards from the Auster civilization.
Perhaps they wouldnât need to continue their hard work and could retire and spend their lives in the civilization.
But Daphne wouldnât give them this chance!
Her condition was the same.
As long as the exploration spaceship from her civilization could receive the signal, she might be able to obtain the imperial identity she longed for and live a normal life as an imperial citizen.
Jia Yan, upon hearing Daphneâs words and realising that the aircraft they were on might get blown up, was dumbfounded.
He had thought Daphne dared to travel thousands of billions of miles here because she was certain she would attack the opponentâs base.
Who would have thought that she had come here on nothing more than a chance?
Jia Yan couldnât understand the feeling of this womanâs three hundred years of solitude.
Her urgent desire to reach this so-called Empire seemed to border on madness.
âOk⌠when the time comes, I will fight.â At this moment, Jia Yan spoke out.
He had no choice but to accept the reality.
After all, his life was in her hands at this moment.
What else could he say?
âMr.
Giant Mosquito, I know youâre uncomfortable, but if this goes smoothly, I have a big gift for you!
Some things that are very handy for you evolutionary creatures!â Daphne suddenly turned around and earnestly said to Jia Yan.
Jia Yan looked at the determination in the womanâs eyes, the sense that she would carry out her mission even if it killed her, and he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
âFine!â He had no choice but to give a lukewarm consent.
If he were not in the universe, without the confidence to say anything else, Jia Yan would never have agreed.
After all, he was being threatened into doing all this, and if he had a chance, he wouldnât mind deceiving or even killing this woman.
It wouldnât be unexpected at all!
However, Jia Yanâs thoughts will not be revealed at this time.
The spacecraft continued to approach, but just as the distance between the two sides was about to close within five kilometersâŚ
Buzz buzz buzzâŚ
Jia Yan heard a strange buzzing sound coming from the spacecraft he was in.
Then he saw a gap appear at the front of the spacecraft.
This gap was right below the video image, so he could clearly see that emerging from the gap were metallic machines the size of the Metal Monster!
These machines emerging from the gap were as big as the Metal Monster, but their designs were completely different!
These metallic machines were more refined in design than the so-called âmining robotsâ, or Metal Monsters.
They looked like strange bugs clad in armor.
Jia Yan realized that the machinery made by this so-called Empire and the Auster civilization seemed to have some commonality.
Perhaps past conflicts led to this, or perhaps the two civilizations were inherently related.
When these bug-like machines appeared at the gap, their tails immediately jetted out flames.
In the vacuum of space, they soundlessly flew forward.
More than thirty machines, lined up one after the other, rushed toward the gigantic meteorite!
The moment these thirty-plus creatures set out, the huge meteorite reacted!
Its massive body of over two hundred meters in the open space of the universe was akin to an enormous structure.
A large hole opened in its middle, and a team of metal machines very similar to the Metal Monsters on Earth emerged from within!
These Metal Monsters looked very similar to those on Earthâs surface, but the metal material covering them looked so different!
They had a pleasing aerodynamic look, and this metal, undoubtedly, had extreme defensive capabilities.
Moreover, they seemed to have more weapons, with flames jetting from their rear, their speed far from slow!
They were more numerous, reaching up to a hundred!
And as Jia Yan looked on in amazement at the things âlaunchedâ by both sidesâŚ
The huge base of two hundred meters on the opposite side, behind the large hole, a flash of light!
Under Jia Yanâs gaze, a humanoid metallic object appeared in his view!
Jia Yan was stunned.
It was about five meters high and streamlined in shape.
The massive body was similar in size to Jia Yanâs current form, but it was made entirely of metal, and it had one major characteristicâit was very similar to the mechas in Earthâs science fiction animations!
Could this be a real alien humanoid mecha?
But why would aliens choose this shape?
Do these so-called Auster people look like Earthlings?!
âBe careful, this is an Anthropomorphic Mecha of the Auster civilization, itâs very powerful.
Iâll let my mimetic combat robots distract them later, weâll take the opportunity to attack their base!â
Jia Yan really wanted to say, with such an obvious difference in combat power, and the fact that they had a seemingly very powerful mecha, was it possible to win?
