Chapter 182 Crown of the Golden Dawn (1)
Five hundred years ago, crystal particles came along with the black wave radiation, lodged on the old species on the blue mother star, and differentiated them into crystalline species and non-crystalline species.This includes humans, but naturally also other animals and plants.
At that time, under the pressure of death, civilization collapsed and retreated. Highly developed technology, newborn crystal bones and cruel jungle laws combined, and the period of melee at the base began.
With the suppression of intelligence and technology, human beings have tried to completely exterminate other crystalline species.But contrary to expectations, this has made some crystalline creatures more and more powerful, becoming alien creatures that can take root in outer space and thrive.
But only five hundred years have not allowed them to evolve advanced intelligence, and beasts are still beasts.
Because lower animals lack self-awareness, in an environment with a sufficiently high concentration of crystal particles, their minds will be completely controlled by corrosion.
It's like a large number of alien creatures with strange shapes and crystal chaos wandering around the crystal nest, attacking the human starships trying to approach.
They are not even the object of the crystal particle's obsession with "race colonization", but the lower livestock that have been tamed.
The current intelligent alien creatures appeared together with the chaos of the Crystal Cult...
boom!
The bullets fired from the silver-gray pistol ended the life of another intelligent alien creature.
It screamed and fell to the ground, and the last scene printed in the field of vision was the black-haired youth lightly closing his gun and walking towards the snow-covered aisle ahead.
Jiang Jianming stopped in the shadows.
He didn't continue walking, but turned back calmly, passing the corpse of the alien creature.Go a little further in the opposite direction, and there is a fire exit.
Pushing open the door leads to the stairs. He locked the door, walked up one floor, and pushed the door out again.
It is necessary to figure out the nature of intelligent alien creatures, and then find a strategy for combat.
Jiang Jianming's thinking started from the first doubt.
Why at that time, a large number of intelligent alien creatures surrounded them like waiting for a rabbit, and how was their location revealed?
Before that, the only contact he had with the enemy was killing an intelligent alien creature that wandered over by chance.
The second doubt followed: when sensing that his life was threatened, the crystal bone ring exploded with full power, killing all intelligent alien creatures in that area.
Since then, there are no more intelligent alien creatures to block them. Instead, they began to destroy the materials in front of them, preparing to consume them to death underground.
How did all the alien creatures change their strategy in such a short time?
A white light flashed in Jiang Jianming's heart.
——Wait a minute, what did he say to Yuan Nagasawa before he boarded the starship in the second fortress?
If worst happens, end the cast with suicide.Consciousness returns to its original body after death and can transmit information to the military.
Spiritual consciousness projection...the consciousness sharing of crystal particles.
The snow creaked under our tired feet.
Thoughts spin faster and faster.
The Crystal Cult and intelligent alien creatures act together; the Crystal Cult is not afraid of death, and the intelligent alien creatures are not afraid of death; there are countless alien creatures in the Yu Region, but the number of intelligent alien creatures obeying the orders of the Crystal Cult is limited...
Archbishop Gaius claimed to have been inspired by the crystal particles. If the crystal particles can actively connect with the consciousness of the crystal believers, so that the alien creatures whose minds have been completely corrupted become containers for receiving consciousness projections, they can have human intelligence.!
But there is still one link in this logical chain.
Alien creatures that have been completely corroded by crystal particles can indeed share consciousness like crystal particles.
But the way of thinking of human beings is in conflict with the way of thinking of crystal particles.If the consciousness of countless human beings is connected together, all consciousness will collapse and die.
So how?
The consciousness of the crystal believers is projected onto alien creatures with the help of crystal particles, so that they have human intelligence;
When the alien creature dies, the consciousness of the crystal believers will be separated, and the crystal particles will share the important information they have obtained.
If it is probably this logic, it can explain all doubts!
With the guesswork out, it's time to argue.
So Jiang Jianming cheated the opponent.
He deceived the "seen before death" of the alien creature and chose the opposite route.
Sure enough, this time haven't encountered scattered alien creatures for a long time.
...
Another corner of the fortress was devastated, and the cold moon was falling on the snow and black tiles. It seemed that there was no way to get out of the ruins.
Here they take a short break.
Jiang Jianming didn't dare to sit down, leaning his back against the wall, frowning and coughing, the sleeves covering his lips were stained with blood when he put down his sleeves.
The feeling of cold is getting stronger and stronger, and the vision is also a bit blurred, which is the shadow of death beginning to cover the eyes.
He vaguely sensed that the critical value was already biting very close, and he didn't dare to sit down, because he was afraid that he would not be able to stand up if he relaxed.
The black-haired officer curled his lips into a silent smile.
——But now, he already has new ideas and new destinations in his mind.
The rest depends on whether death grabs him first or he grabs victory first.
In a hurry, Jiang Jianming stood up straight and turned his head. Just as he was about to lift the unconscious Lai An back up again, his pupils trembled suddenly.
His eyes met the dim emerald green eyes.
"... Lai An?"
The moment of life and death seems like a lifetime away.
Lai An didn't speak or move.Messy, blood-stained blond hair covered most of her cheeks, her eyelids were half-drowned, and those loose pupils fell motionlessly on Jiang Jianming.
He woke up, not like a wounded man waking up from a coma, but like a living dead whose soul had been sucked out.
Jiang Jianming's Adam's apple twitched, knowing that he probably didn't look very good-looking now.
But he no longer had any means to appease His Highness, he could only stretch out his hand silently, ready to forcefully pull him onto his back.
The cuffs were pulled weakly.
The pale blue moonlight fell, and Lai An's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He just pulled Jiang Jianming like this, stared at him, and put his hand into the inner pocket of the silver Beidou Army coat he was wearing with difficulty.
He took out the box containing the tranquilizer bit by bit.
The starting weight is hopelessly light.
Even if there is only one, it is good to have one left.
Jiang Jianming lowered his eyelashes and sighed, "No more."
Click.
The empty box that was opened fell to the ground, making a light metal crashing sound, of course it was empty.
Lai An's pale lips trembled for a long time, and he asked hoarsely, "Why are you aiming the main gun at me?"
Jiang Jianming still got the person on his back.
He understood what Lai An meant.His Highness is not resenting his heartlessness, what His Highness really wants to question is...
Weren't you sane just now?Aren't you very firm, aren't you fully aware that I might die?
Why are you using all the sedatives you carry on me now? Why are you carrying me behind your back at this point?
Don't you know, won't both of you be able to get out?
Jiang Jianming: "At that time, there was no other way, but now it is not enough to give up."
Lai An gritted her teeth and said, "...put me down."
Jiang Jianming: "As I said, it's not that far."
"You're dying."
"Yes, but can't it?"
Jiang Jianming smiled, and asked softly, "You can die, and all the imperial troops can die, but I can't?"
"..."
They were talking like this, and one walked forward with the other on his back.It seems that in the long snowy night, they merged into one figure.
Occasionally, moonlight illuminated them through the broken ruins, only to be swallowed up by darkness.
"It's not the same... This kind of death is meaningless."
Jiang Jianming no longer uses strategies to avoid alien creatures. Now he has selected a clear target and started to move forward in a straight line.
"In the same way, victory gives meaning to death, Your Highness."
The crystal bone ring is like a prairie fire, sweeping away all enemies in front.
"Then... what is the meaning of victory...?"
Jiang Jianming pursed his lips. He thought Lai An would be surprised that he had found a breakthrough in victory, and then asked.
At the very least, he should ask why the crystal bone ring suddenly became so powerful - then he can confidently speak out about the original body's wrongdoing, and then blame the matrix.
However, Chu Jun gradually fell on his shoulder weakly, in a daze, as if he was about to fall asleep again.
With a look of nostalgia in Jiang Jianming's eyes, he answered the question asked by Lai An.
"There is a future."
"For me, winning means having a future."
Lai An didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Jianming thought the man had fallen asleep, but after a few minutes, he heard His Highness asking in a weak voice, where are we going?
Jiang Jianming: "Go to the Heroic Monument."
Heroic Monument.
After breaking through the tide of alien creatures all the way, they climbed down from the abandoned escalator with difficulty with the help of crystal bone rings, opened the blocked entrance, and finally arrived at the Heroic Monument.
Jiang Jianming knew that there were no supplies, no weapons, no rescue, and nothing but tombstones and ashes.
But this is also the only place in Yinbeidou's fortress that has not been infiltrated by alien creatures.
Most importantly, there is also a mecha parked here.
L-Crown of Dawn.
It is the strongest mecha in the empire, and it is also a mecha that cannot be activated.
Even if Jiang Jianming has the intelligent brain Seth, all he can do is activate the energy, not drive.
Lai An does have permission to drive, but with His Highness's current state, it is even more impossible for him to pilot the armor.
Going to an underground cemetery where there are no resources, looking for a mecha that is destined to be unable to take off, is almost giving up hope of life voluntarily.
But it doesn't matter, Jiang Jianming thought.He may have discovered the secret of alien creatures, and based on this, he also has a concept of combat.
The mecha can't be driven, but the communication system can be used by turning on the energy source. He only needs a few minutes to convey this idea to Xie Yuduo.
He has never seen the treatment cabin of Crown of Dawn, but the mecha will always be equipped with a medical system.He can stuff the little highness in, maybe he can wait for rescue.
The Heroic Monument has been peaceful for decades, Jiang Jianming walked forward, blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, staining the silver and black military uniform, tick-tocking all the way.
Also, he thought to himself, it is not accurate to say that the mecha is destined to be unable to take off.
Crown of Dawn uses a mind manipulation system, and Lai An once gave him temporary access in the past.If he dared to gamble and force the spirit to connect, if he really connected, Jin Xiao would be able to open it.
Do you want to take a gamble, or take a look at the internal situation of the mecha...
Suddenly, Jiang Jianming's knees swayed, and he lost his strength and fell to his knees.He slowed down for two seconds, stood up with difficulty, and fell to his knees after taking a step.
The person behind said hoarsely, put me down.
Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth, said with a wry smile that I would try again.But his attempt failed again, and he really didn't have the strength to stand up.
Lai An repeated it again.
I just said "it's not enough to give up", but it's just stupid to be stubborn now.
Jiang Jianming put Lai An down, put his hands on His Highness's shoulders, and made him lean against the snow-white stele.
The white monument still had a soft halo, and they saw each other's eyes.
Jiang Jianming originally wanted to say, I will come back to pick you up soon, and we can go out together.
But Lai An nodded slightly at him, then closed his eyes.Then he found that these words were unnecessary.
Jiang Jianming stood up holding the white stele, and continued to walk forward.
Ho, ho...
He heard his hoarse and heavy breathing, and his military boots dragged blood on the ground.
In a daze, Jiang Jianming felt that the countless white monuments above his head lowered their brows and stared at him; the countless ashes under his feet also raised their heads and stared at him.
Watch him struggle, watch him bear the pain, watch him walk forward step by step.
In the dark, there seems to be a whisper of a heroic soul.
Go, go, go, that's the way to go.
Since ancient times, how many pioneers have stepped on their own blood to come to this day.
Jiang Jianming walked forward, groped to find the secret door, stepped on the steel plate, and walked down.
Reaching the dark bottom, in the blink of an eye, the outline of the dark golden mecha has sunk there.
L-Crown of Dawn.
"Seth... Are you there, Seth, open Crown of Dawn... connect to the communication system, connect..."
Before he finished calling his brain, Jiang Jianming felt dizzy, had difficulty breathing, and once again lost his strength and knelt on the ground.
He lowered his head and put his hands on the ground, and saw a blue light flying out of the damaged wrist unit, it was Seth.
Sure enough, it was the most reliable puppy at the critical moment, Jiang Jianming's brows and eyes relaxed.
He bit the tip of his tongue to force himself to wake up, "Connect, the military's internal channel... find Xie Yuduo's communication, I want..."
But suddenly, a strange voice rang in his ears.
That was the sound of the internal shaft of the mecha moving and metal rubbing against each other.The voice he had grown accustomed to since he was a child.
Shadows fall.
Jiang Jianming suddenly saw a shadow covering the ground where he was.
He raised his head, stunned in a daze, unable to comprehend the scene in front of him for a while.
In the darkness, a pair of bright golden animal pupils lit up.
Watching him silently.
Jiang Jianming was even more stunned.
Because those are not beast pupils, but the mech lamp of the Crown of Dawn in the form of a behemoth.
This dark golden mecha raised its head lowered.The dormant monster woke up with its head raised, approaching the tiny black-haired youth.
"... Jin Xiao?"
The pale golden spiritual connection sticks out from the inside of the mecha, testing and hesitating, like a puppy sniffing its master's breath.
It tapped Jiang Jianming's eyebrows.
〈Sensing that the life status of the person with the first authority is endangered, the mecha L-Crown of Dawn has awakened〉
...
All of a sudden, Jiang Jianming had a bang in his head.
He realized belatedly that he had a mindset that he hadn't reversed.
The Crown of Dawn is equipped with two cockpits, which he actually knew.
Because Lai An once took him on this mech, at that time, they always drove the second cockpit.
According to His Majesty—it should be what His Majesty Lin Song told him: the owner of the first cockpit is Kaios the Great, and its authority will be permanently closed with the death of the emperor, while the authority of the second cockpit will be left to future generationsinherit.
Crown Prince Lai An was recognized by the L-Crown of Dawn, and since then the second cockpit has become the main cabin of this mech.
But here comes the problem.
Now he already knows that the Great Emperor and His Highness are the same soul, the same spiritual consciousness, and of course they can share the same authority.
That……
Who was the person sitting in the first cockpit of the L-Crown of Dawn during the founding war?
Jiang Jianming took a deep breath, his heart was beating wildly, and he stretched out his hand to tighten the pale golden spiritual connection.
He said word by word: "Open, the first cockpit."
The author has something to say:
The founding jokes were no longer happily enjoyed.
Jiang Jiang burst into tears: The person involved was actually myself.
