The outpost probe moves inside the wreckage of the spaceport and transmits the observation information in real time back to the alien space fleet still on the way to the colony star.

　　 In the bridge, everyone is busy nervously.

　　 "The signal reception is normal and there is no interference."

　　 "The horizontal gyroscope is being adjusted to correct the viewing angle."

　　 "It is confirmed that the electricity usage rate is 42%, and the remaining usage time is estimated to be 46 hours on the home planet."

　　……

A group of operators report to the commander of the fleet. These reports about the huge amount of information about the probe itself are just like when a student stands at the door of the teacher’s office and needs to shout a report. It does not require the commander of the fleet to think about it, even if there is a problem. The subordinates will also take care of everything.

　　 The main thing is the following observation report.

　　 "Report to the commander, the outpost probe detected the distress signal from the rescue bay!"

　　 "Send a few probes over immediately!"

　　 The command issued by the fleet commander was transformed from an order to digital information, and then transmitted to the probe far inside the wreckage of Star Harbor through a specially encrypted radio wave.

Several probes have moved towards the signal source, the long corridor, but even when the energy supply is completely lost, it is not completely dark. From the cracks that lead directly to the outside, sunlight will penetrate in and illuminate the environment inside the wreck. At the same time, it also adds a touch of bleak epic.

　　 Soon, the probe arrived at the signal source.

　　 It is indeed the rescue cabin they expected, but its appearance is quite different from what they expected.

At this time, the rescue cabin is just like a peeled nut shell, as if it was torn from the outside by something forcibly. On the edge of the breach, you can see a dimple, like a huge palm. Used to hold that position forcefully.

　　 "Is the data modeling completed?" the commander asked.

"Yes, it is."

　　 Through digital simulation, the deformation state of the object is compared with the original state, and the force analysis is immediately deduced to simulate the entire force change process of the rescue cabin, and then the appearance of the object in the manufacturing process is deduced in reverse.

　　 The result was a few long objects, which forcibly tore a crack in the rescue capsule, and it was still from the inside out.

　　 "Weird...this is too weird..."

The commander of the fleet was puzzled by this. If it is from the outside to the inside, it can be understood by logical derivation of bold assumptions. For example, something beyond imagination was plunged into Star Harbor along with meteorites and destroyed it. What is going on from the inside out?

　　Logic can't clarify the causal relationship-this is the idea of ​​the fleet commander at this time.

　　 Just as the fleet commander struggled, probes in other areas returned new discoveries.

　　 "Commander, there is a situation in Armed Zone 46!"

　　 When the commander turned his gaze to the past, the scene projected by the probe was already a snowflake, that is, he could not accept anything.

"what happened?"

　　 "The probe caught a dark shadow in the wreckage of Star Harbor just now, I will call up the recorded image just now."

　　 Hearing the answer from his subordinate, the commander nodded and added.

　　 "Let the nearby probes pass and see how that probe is doing."

"Yes!"

　　 It didn't take long for the recorded image to be called up, and the actual shadow captured by the probe appeared in front of them.

Due to the problem of light, the shadow is blurry. The visible light of the alien cannot see the appearance of the whole body. It can only be roughly judged that it is a movable object with many tentacles, whether it is a living thing or a machine. Distinguish immediately.

　　 But this does not mean that they have no follow-up means. Of course, the limit of the organism is compensated by technology.

　　 "Pause, adjust to the infrared spectrum."

"Yes!"

The operator who received the command nodded, and another immersed operation, the color of the paused picture on the screen began to fade, and the secrets hidden in the dark and cold tones became distinct and clearly visible under the infrared viewing angle. .

　　 However, when he saw the true face of the unknown object hidden in the shadow, the fleet commander regretted the decision just now.

　　 The first impression of that thing on the fleet commander was only one-tentacle.

Yes, there is nothing else. There are only tentacles. The main body is wrapped in countless strips. The commander of the fleet can roughly judge that the main body should also be tentacles, because the thermal imaging is not very different, the true face of the thing. Hidden under the layers of tentacles, even the infrared viewing angle is useless.

　　 This kind of picture made the fleet commander with a slight intensive phobia feel nauseous, but he endured it.

　　 Suddenly, the commander of the fleet had an idea-could that guy deliberately hide himself, in case of revealing his true face under thermal imaging?

　　 "Are there really aliens?!"

　　 Fleet commander's pupils faintly revealed unbelievable colors.

　　 The previous attacks on the fleet have solidified the guess in their hearts. This time, it was not an accident, but a clear opponent.

　　 But at that time, the fleet commander did not think about the aliens, but thought that the colony had a civil unrest, and those insurgents tried to fake everything that was caused by the aliens.

　　The observation capabilities of those autonomous ships are not very powerful, because to ensure their own combat performance, at such a high speed ~lightnovelpub.net~ can not capture the composition of the sublight orbital gun.

No way, even aliens who have set foot on the stars, aliens from other planets in the universe still belong to the category of science fiction. Almost a hundred years ago, there were countless literary creators who depicted a book. The script in which aliens invaded the home planet and was finally counterattacked by the empire.

Fleet commanders, including those high-level empires and heads of state, are also deeply affected. They will not subjectively move towards the direction of'aliens' in their thinking. Unless the reality really hits their faces, they will think about more realistic possibilities. Sex.

　　 Moreover, if it is really an alien force from another planetary system, it would be difficult to resist with the power of an empire. The technological generation gap is too great, and the number cannot make up for it at all.

　　 But now, the commander of the fleet feels that his three views are a little broken.

Of course, one possibility is not ruled out, that is, the insurgents intend to use this method to create false creatures to confuse the audience in order to deceive the empire. In this way, even if they lose the war, they can blame the aliens for their mistakes. Body, exempt from punishment.

　　 "It's not impossible to have such a possibility, but..."

　　 The fleet commander glanced at the image again.

　　 After pondering for a while, the commander of the fleet decided to send this thing back to the home planet. This kind of brainstorming matter should be handed over to the Imperial Science Society to make them bother.

　　 Whether it is an alien or not, the commander of the fleet is full of confidence in the fourth fleet under his leadership, which is the combined combat power of the first, second, and third fleets, the empire's most powerful force so far.

　　 As far as the low-Earth orbit is currently completely blocked, and the right to control the universe is obtained only by relying on autonomous ships, and unilateral suppression is completed, how can even aliens be stronger?

　　The advantage is on their side!
