Chapter 267 Breaking Through the Ending White Night (5)

That evening, another group of exploration troops returned. Half an hour later, with the sound of "hum" and footsteps, a Jin Ilun soldier hurried through the automatic door: "Report..."

In the commanding room of the Golden Sun Wheel Space Station, the crown prince was sitting in front of the curved screen and thinking, while the black-haired officer next to him closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, covered with the prince's coat, and seemed to be asleep.

Hearing the movement, Ryan immediately turned his head and raised his index finger: "Shh."

Jiang Jianming was already woken up.

He opened his eyes, and a trace of exhaustion flashed between his brows. He stretched out his hands to lift his coat and turned around. His voice was a little hoarse: "What's the matter, let's talk."

...In a place like Crystal Nest, the longer it drags on, the worse it gets.

Even if they stay in the space station, the mental state of the crystalline race and the physical state of the amorphous race will become increasingly weak. A few days ago, several generals had held a meeting to discuss whether to send the soldiers back to the country for recuperation.

So now it's more of a gamble. Is it that Crystal Nest first gathers enough "ultimate" power to destroy humanity in one fell swoop, or does the Imperial Army find the mother core of Crystal Nest first and destroy the crystal particles in one fell swoop?

Or is Crystal Nest unable to withstand the attack of the Imperial Army first, and decided to attack humans at the expense of exposing the location of the mother nucleus?

Or was the Imperial Army unable to maintain this agonizing protracted war first, and evacuated from the Crystal Nest and returned to the country?

No one knows what will happen next moment.

"Yes Yes!"

The Golden Sun Wheel soldier glanced at Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess worriedly, and seemed to have softened his voice, "According to the data returned by the Expedition Army today, the attack strength of the crystal nest has increased slightly. Major General Xie asked us to analyze the chart. Bring it over and show it to the two Highnesses..."

The two were moved at the same time, which can be regarded as great news. Lean picked up the coat that fell to the side and put it back on Jiang Jianming's shoulders, "Come here."

Soon, the screen in front of them was filled with charts, numbers, and explanatory text that was a headache to glance at.

But after half a year, Jiang Jianming and Ryan were used to seeing these things, and they exchanged glances after scanning for less than a minute.

Ryan whispered: "No, I can't see anything."

"It is a good thing that there is movement, which means that our offensive is approaching the limit that the enemy can bear."

Jiang Jianming put his hand on the back of His Highness soothingly, "It seems that Jingchao is not feeling well recently."

After he finished speaking, he leaned closer and whispered in a voice that the soldiers could not hear: "Now we have to stabilize, and we have to pretend to be a second before we can't stand it. If it is shaken a little bit, Crystal Nest can detect it. It is very likely that it will fall short.”

Lean glanced at him and hummed: "You are of course skilled at this kind of trick."

The prince waved the soldier to go down. Jiang Jianming suddenly stopped people: "Wait a minute, you are the garrison of the Golden Sun Wheel Space Station."

The soldier said quickly: "Yes! I have served in the space station for more than ten years."

Jiang Jianming: "Then I want to ask, can your 'Pangu Axe'... be disassembled?"

Soldier: "Huh?"

Seeing Jiang Jianming's serious expression, he even leaned his upper body forward, obviously not joking: "Can it escape from the space station and sink to the low-altitude area of ​​Crystal Nest for launch?"

The soldier choked for a moment when asked, "Uh, there is no such precedent before, you can ask the technical soldier for the feasibility. But the cannon itself has no defensive equipment, so..."

So the idea of ​​dismantling the cannon was a bit outrageous, and he swallowed the words in his stomach. His Royal Highness Jiang's realm is not something that a rough soldier can reach.

After the soldiers left, Lean frowned and looked at Jiang Jianming: "Sink the Pangu Axe into the crystal nest? The position of the mother nucleus has not yet been determined, even if the attack distance is shortened..."

Jiang Jianming looked at him with a half-smile but slowly shook his head.

"No, you..."

Ryan first breathed in a soft "hiss", showing a bit of shock, "Are you going to use the Pangu axe to lure the enemy!?"

The next day, Jiang Jianming presented his proposal at a military meeting.

The generals were shocked. For a time, there were whispers in the conference room.

The Pangu Axe is the most lethal heavy weapon of the imperial military. Now it has been specially approved and transformed into a crystal particle annihilation cannon specially designed for crystal nests. For Crystal Nest, it is the biggest threat.

Jiang Jianming's idea is also simple, disassemble the Pangu Axe and sink it into the crystal nest. Under this kind of deterrence and temptation, the crystal nest is likely to explode with stronger aggression to try to destroy the giant cannon.

As long as the crystal nest is forced to use the power of the mother nucleus, they have a chance to crack that crucial coordinate point.

"but……"

Colonel Linzhi couldn't help but say, "If the Pangu Axe really fails, it will be unbearable for our army."

"So, it is impossible to completely sink the Pangu Axe into the depths of the crystal nest."

Jiang Jianming glanced at the generals below, and the huge light blue screen reflected in the dark pupils, "When the battle starts, immediately cover the heavy artillery from the battlefield; the last distance depends on the army to try it out."

He said solemnly: "The sacrifice will be very heavy. The soldiers who will go out this time must be mentally prepared that they will not come back."

Today, his status and prestige are different from those of the past, and with the return of the commander's memory, his mentality has also changed. So it's more like giving instructions than stating a proposal.

But this is better. Now that there are many generals in the Imperial Space Station, and Old Marshal Chen is guarding the rear, in terms of identity, only two His Royal Highnesses are qualified to coordinate.

There was a soft sound next to him, and the tall figure stood up. Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows and saw Ryan pressing one hand on the table in front of him, "Who is going with me?"

He stretched out his hand and pressed Ryan back to his seat mercilessly: "Your Highness can't go."

The prince said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Jianming frowned, moved over to lower his voice and said, "Are you asking me? Soldiers can at least be equipped with bases, but His Highness's situation is different. Didn't the leader say it before?"

"...Tsk."

Ryan looked away irritably. Sylph had indeed warned many times before that if the base body dies again, the mental state of the original body may not be able to hold up.

It's just that the crown prince is used to charging ahead in person, that is, Jiang Jianming, who can actually press back His Highness who stood up in front of everyone's eyes.

"..."

The generals didn't know what Jiang Jianming was talking to Lean, and they didn't dare to listen. They should all look sideways and bow their heads.

Well, we can't hear, we can't see.

Xie Yuduo was especially silent, thinking to himself, the rumors that the commander-in-chief of Aslan disrespected the monarch was just like this...

"I don't know what will happen after the coordinates of the core of the crystal nest are exposed. What if the Pangu Axe cannot completely destroy it?"

Jiang Jianming comforted Le'an twice, and said in a slow voice, "Your Highness won't be willing to let a dead artifact fort as the last card? Please stay behind."

Lean said quietly: "Then you?"

Jiang Jianming immediately said, "I will stay as well."

"Little Your Excellency is right, neither of your Highnesses can take risks."

Xie Yu made a sound, and the major general's slender eyes lifted up. He smiled and looked around the conference room, his legs folded and swayed.

"This is a good thing that goes down in history. No matter how you look at it, you should thank someone for being the pioneer. Don't rob me of anyone."

"Xiao Xie!" Jin Min was anxious, and said sternly, "You are the future of Yin Beidou, you are not allowed to go!"

Celine stood up almost at the same time: "Yin Beidou should be reserved as a living force for the general attack. To open the way, please let the subordinate lead the Jin Riyun to go."

Jin Min: "Admiral Shilin, can you do it? Excuse me for the blunt words, Yin Beidou is the one who is used to being the vanguard, so don't fight for Jin Ilun?"

In a blink of an eye, several people stood up again, each rushing to fight. Xie Yuduo laughed: "What are you doing? Isn't this a basic plan? It's not that the real strong man is gone forever, why are you so nervous!"

"Enough." Ryan didn't let them quarrel anymore, he just clapped, "Xie Yuduo, you go."

Xie Yuduo laughed: "Okay, it's still our little highness who loves me!"

His Highness issued an order, and other people naturally dared not object. Jiang Jianming and Ryan exchanged glances, and said, "Admiral Shilin, please lead the 20,000 Golden Sun battleship to protect the Pangu Axe and provide support at any time."

"The rest of the ministries are still holding their posts according to their duties and will act tomorrow. At that time, please be ready to go to war at any time."

"Yes!!"

"Besides," Jiang Jianming paused, "there is another group of people who will fight with you tomorrow."

...

The next day, the open-air starship harbor of the space station.

Armed warships were lined up in the port, and base soldiers wearing crystal-blocking armor boarded the ships one by one.

Occasionally, someone looked up and looked into the distance, and they would see the crystal nest like a huge snowball, quietly suspended at the end of the horizon paved with alloy steel, surrounded by the dark starry sky like dark waves.

To this day, most people are used to it, but in the first few months, some people have been terrified of giants by this thing.

"Son, dad is leaving."

Under the starship, the old Heiyang patted Gao Long on the shoulder. The unspeakable Daewoo thief couldn't say anything sensational after holding it for a long time. He only said: "You are still young, and work hard with the little colonel."

Gao Long's eyes were red, and he punched the old Heiyang on the shoulder: "If this battle is over, if you don't die, our father and I will go back to Mars Star to see my mother."

He sniffed, and his voice became hoarse, "Mom said before she left, she doesn't blame you, she just misses you."

"Tsk..."

In the distance, Xie Yuduo frowned, folded his arms and crossed his chest, "Don't, children, even if you die in the crystal nest, the empire will not remember your heroic sacrifice."

Chilong tied a bunch of messy hair behind his head. He didn't look at Xie Yuduo, just turned to Jiang Jianming and whispered, "Thank you."

Jiang Jianming said lightly: "This is something you decide for yourself, and I will not interfere."

Ultimately, the Lava Pirates decided to burn their lives here.

The matrix of the imperial soldiers can return to their original bodies after death, but the original bodies of these thieves have been drained of crystal particles and cannot bear the impact of the death of the matrix. If they disappear on the battlefield, they are gone.

The old black sheep turned and boarded the ship. His back was hunched at first, and became taller and straighter as he walked.

Finally, he stood at the highest point of the starship's boarding gate, and waved to Gaolong again in the backlight.

Gao Long rolled his hands into a tube and shouted at him from a distance: "Dad—! If you die, you'll be fine! I'll bring your relics back to Mars, and let father and mother lie there One piece!"

In the lava starship, a group of thieves gathered there without image, standing and sitting. As soon as they saw the old black sheep coming up, they gathered around and cursed:

"Old Heiyang, who asked you to follow, you imperial dog!"

"Our boss doesn't want you! Let's not enjoy the happiness with your precious son!"

The old Heiyang remained silent, and soon Chilong also boarded the ship and walked up. The young man glanced at him with a complicated expression, snorted, and turned his face away.

And he called "Boss" and followed behind the boy, just like he did every time he played in these years.

At the port, Jiang Jianming was still making his final instructions to several senior officers who went to battle.

"The Matrix Plan is not an undead technique. If the soldiers slack because of this, there will be problems."

There was a heavy look in his eyes, "There are still too many unknowns in the crystal nest, so please proceed with caution."

Xie Yuduo said sternly: "Please rest assured, little lord, the subordinate has already taught me about this. Once we realize that the situation is out of control, we will immediately commit suicide to return our consciousness."

Jiang Jianming nodded lightly, and suddenly frowned and coughed. The two guards next to them hurriedly stretched out their hands to help, "The concentration of crystal particles here is too high, your Highness is still..."

Jiang Jianming wanted to say "it's okay" subconsciously, and remembered that his words would only be counterproductive to the people around him, so he had to shut his mouth.

But he had nothing else to say. Soon Ryan came over to arrest him in person. Jiang Jianming returned to the commanding room of the space station, only took two pills, and saw the starship leaving the port through the porthole.

Those tiny black shadows formed a line, reflected under the snow-white crystal nest, like a black crow rising under the moon.

Jiang Jianming didn't care about taking the medicine anymore, he immediately pushed the medicine bottle to the side and raised his hand to open all the big screens.

Suddenly, boxy virtual screen blocks popped up, filling the space with the seats as the center.

"Ginger," Ryan approached him from behind, forcefully shoving the last inhalation potion into his mouth, "it's three or five seconds."

Jiang Jianming reluctantly opened his mouth, bit the potion spout, and said vaguely: "But Your Highness, if it succeeds this time, there is hope to destroy the core of the crystal nest in one fell swoop. When the time comes, I won't need to take medicine."

"And if it doesn't work this time...I am afraid that the army can only temporarily withdraw from the crystal nest or return to the country. I also don't need to take medicine."
