Chapter 184

The neutron gun spewed out gorgeous fire, and the antimatter orbital bombs fell on this huge building one after another, and the sound of artillery fire rang through the world for a time.

The Tomahawk has only two medium-sized high-speed guns. Its main attack mode is not relying on artillery fire, but the numerous combat UAVs it carries. Once released, they will bite each other alive like a swarm of poisonous bees.

Fearing that dust in the high gravity zone would damage these valuable drones, Xiafei did not use them, but used only two guns to attack.

"What are you doing?" The ghost did not understand.

He didn't understand the significance of Xiafei's indiscriminate bombing of these ancient square buildings. The price of an antimatter orbital bomb was as high as 30000 star coins. Two high-speed guns fired 180 shells per minute. The consumption of ammunition alone would cost more than 5 million star coins per minute. Xiafei has always been very economical, so it is just a waste.

Xia Fei frowned and did not order the gun to stop. He said, "I suspect these things are not buildings at all."

"Not a building? What can that be? "

Because of his habitual thinking, Xia Fei, like ghost, thought that these huge square objects were a kind of architecture. It was impossible to produce such standard cubic boulders in the natural environment, unless they were made by human beings.

But when Xia Fei really got in touch with them, his thinking changed again. There were no doors or windows. Xia Fei couldn't think of anyone who would make buildings so strange. He began to suspect that these things were entities, not buildings.

The depth detector on the Tomahawk was disturbed by the surrounding environment and could not be used. Therefore, Xia Fei decided to use the most direct and effective method to blast open these boulders with shells.

If they are buildings, they will naturally be cracked by gunfire, otherwise they are man-made concrete blocks.

It is not easy to build solid concrete blocks of more than km in length, width and height. After they are built, why should they be discarded on this deserted planet? Xia Fei can't imagine. Now he has to figure out the real structure of these big guys first.

"Stop!" After two minutes of continuous attacks, Xiafei ordered the main control computer to stop the bombardment.

Ghost and Xia Fei stood in front of the porthole and looked ahead. When the dust cleared away, they could not help but take a breath.

A huge rectangular stone was cut half way from above, revealing countless broken concrete, in which the metal structure was faintly visible.

These huge square objects are solid!

They are not any buildings!

No one can imagine who is going to throw these huge concrete blocks here, and what are they used for?

Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei sits back in his chair, frowning and pondering.

The ghost thought for a while and asked, "since these huge stones are solid, can someone want to use them to build some kind of building, and they are not used for some unknown reason and are abandoned here."

As soon as the ghost himself laughed out, each boulder was no less than 1000 meters in length, width and height. Whether it was feasible to build a house with such a large stone would not be discussed. Even if it was built, how big would it be?

What is a super building with a height of hundreds of thousands or even millions of meters? Do you play golf?

At least human beings can't afford a building with a height of one million meters. Unless there is some kind of extremely tall intelligent race in the universe, it is hard to imagine who needs such a large building.

In fact, human beings will also build some super large bases. Most of the construction methods are to find some small planets and empty their interior, install a lot of artillery and other defense facilities on the periphery, and turn them into a movable blockhouse. This is the case with those bases that Xiafei saw in the wilderness.

The problem is that these stones look like bricks. If they are used to build military bases, they are much more difficult than hollowing out a planet. Moreover, they are not solid. If they are to build civilian houses, it would be even more ridiculous. How could it be possible to cram hundreds of millions of people into a building.

The Tomahawk continued to circle the reddish red planet, and Shafei had been thinking about the use of the stones, so he did not give further instructions to the warship.

Looking through the porthole, the arrangement of these stones is not even. Some of them are closely connected with each other, while others are far away. However, they are arranged neatly, facing the dark starry sky. They are not as if they are still here at will. The reason why Xia Fei thought they were buildings at the beginning was also influenced by the placement of these stones.

"It's not evenly placed, but each piece is neatly placed?" Xia Fei said to himself doubtfully.

Suddenly, his mind turned.

"Come on! Quickly raise the height to 150000 meters! " Xia Fei ordered.

The Tomahawk turned around and flew in the opposite direction. A moment later, Xia Fei stood at the side window and looked far away. The stones were connected horizontally and vertically. They looked like some unknown calligraphy.

"Look Xia Fei said excitedly, "are these stones connected like words?""Text?" The ghost suddenly was stunned, "like, it's really like a text, the structure is scattered but not disorderly, but I don't know what this kind of writing is."

Xia Fei smiles and taps his finger on the light screen to record these words.

Because the planet is round, Xiafei and ghost did not find these stones arranged like words at the beginning, but if you look at it as a plane and spread out, the stone divisions on the planet will appear orderly.

The translation chip in the brain is constantly busy, but it has never been able to understand its meaning. Xia Fei shakes his head. If even the advanced intelligent translation chip can not be interpreted, it can only show that the structure of the text is too complex and too rare.

Although it is impossible to know who left these huge stones here, and what the words composed of these stones mean, Xia Fei is still relieved. After all, he has found the trace of old porter, and has also figured out the destination of these stones.

"It's at least a good start. Old porter's arrival here and his departure means he's at least alive." Said the ghost.

Xia Fei nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "the jump engine starts to replenish energy and advance toward target No. 2."

……

The purple area No.2 delineated by old porter is not far away from here. It only needs a jump to reach it. Because the gravity of the two areas is almost the same, the jump is not as unbearable as it was just now.

From the star map, it has left the black abyss star region and entered a real unexplored area, and this area is relatively large, with a gravel belt and four planets all in the purple area, which need to be explored one by one.

The signals received by the radar system were still confused, so Xiafei had to continue to rely on visual inspection and blurred video system to find the trace of old porter.

First, he searched for the four planets one by one. Like many deserted asteroids in the universe, there was nothing special about them. Xiafei turned his lips and drove Tomahawk into the gravel belt.

There was no gravel belt found on the planet, and Xia Fei naturally did not report any hope. With the mood of trying, Tomahawk broke through layers of obstacles and slowly moved forward among the countless stones.

"This gravel belt is too long. If we search it all, it will only take a few months." Ghost looking out of the window at the endless gravel said.

Xiafei frowned and ordered in a deep voice, "the metal detector is operating at full load, scanning the gravel strip in all directions."

Even if there is no gravity barrier, it is very difficult to explore a wide gravel belt, because the chaotic gravel will greatly interfere with any signal transmission, what's more, the exploration in this high gravity area is very difficult.

"With fuzzy scanning, only signals larger than or close to the frigate will be searched." Xia Fei continues to command.

The metal detector starts to work quickly. The gravel contains different amounts of metal, so it is necessary to filter out the small volume or the lack of metal purity.

Xia Fei has no hope for the metal detector. After all, the interference in the high gravity area is so serious that almost all electronic equipment can not work.

Unexpectedly, the metal detector found a dazzling signal!

This signal is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Tomahawk. From the signal equivalent point of view, it is very huge, beyond all the huge!

Words can't describe Xia Fei's shock. According to the signal, this metal object has at least 1.5 billion cubic meters!

What's the concept!

It's a metal city, enough to hold tens of thousands of people.

Such a huge metal, and it's a purified high-strength metal. What is this?!

"Full speed ahead!" Xia Fei ordered in a deep voice.

The Tomahawk speeded up and headed for the target.

"How can there be such a large metallic material? Is it a small planet made entirely of metal?" Asked the ghost.

Xia Fei shook his head. "No way, the metal detector shows that this is a purified hard strength synthetic metal, that is, an artificial object."

Most of the metals distributed in Xinghai are in the form of ores. Although they are various in quantity and variety, they are not pure. According to the metal detector, this huge material is purified and smelted by many different metals and artificially cast, so it is impossible to be a metal block floating in space.

"Man made material! That's even more incredible. We should know that the largest super carrier in the human alliance has a volume of about 500 million cubic meters, which is already the maximum limit for human beings to manufacture warships. There is no bigger warship, and its volume is equivalent to three super carriers. How can this be possible? " The ghost was completely shocked and his voice was hoarse.

"Could it be that the metal detector was disturbed by gravity and made a mistake." Ghost asked, 1.5 billion cubic meters of huge man-made objects have far exceeded the limit of ghost imagination, so he is very confused about this.

Xia Fei said in a deep voice: "it is true that gravity will interfere with the signal, but it is more likely that the volume of this thing is larger than 1.5 billion cubic meters!"
