Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371
Then the four of them crawled into the small hole they had dug up, entering the interior of the spaceship.
Here, it bore an obvious style of the Mechanical Council, with the passageway being a standard hexagon, and magnetic rails at the corners, allowing mechanical bodies to adhere and move through it internally.
As they walked through the passage, they saw that several rooms along the way had been opened, and inside was a mess, with many electronic devices dismantled and traces of blood left behind.
"Probably the Mouse-Ear Clan did this during their digging." They continued advancing.
A few minutes later, they were blocked outside a sealed large door, there were signs of battle here, indicating others had tried, but still couldn't open it.
"Let me give it a try~" Loloria volunteered, while Ores felt the silver stool beside her, wanting to sit on it for a try.
Then Loloria stepped forward, extended her right hand, and high-temperature flames spewed from her palm, melting and cutting through the sealed large door.
In no time, the door was perforated and fell with a thud, revealing a dark passage inside.
An emerald light ball passed through the passage, illuminating the facilities on both sides and finally stopping in front of the round valve hatch inside.
"That should be where the superluminal drive engine is located." Tilan leapt into the passage, her toe lightly touching, quickly approaching.
However at this time, light points emerged from both sides of the walls, and then dazzling lasers shot out from each other, segmenting the entire passage. Get full chapters from novel⚑fire.net
Faced with such a trap, ordinary people would probably be burnt through into fragments immediately, but this black-haired girl calmly vanished, and then reappeared in front of the three people.
"There's still energy for traps here." Tilan mildly teased.
"Let me." Celestia also wanted to show off, so Tilan stepped aside to make way.
She brought her hands together, a silver glint shone between her brows, and soon a faint halo emerged above her head, followed by a mercury longsword grasped in her palm.
Facing the laser-filled passage, Celestia didn't charge straight through but instead infused her magic power to throw the mercury sword, which refracted various lasers along the way and kept flipping, allowing lasers to scorch the structures within the passage, eventually causing them to self-destruct.
Finally, the stray lasers subsided as the mercury sword pierced through and triggered the opening, causing the entire passage to dim again.
"That should do it." Her golden eyes showed signs of pride as she invited Tilan to enter together, while Loloria was naturally ignored.
The two entered the passage ahead, Loloria and Ores followed, and soon the four stopped at the engine hatch, where Loloria inserted an interface to decode and unlock, opening the hatch and revealing the most core facility inside.
A dim and emerald light ball floated within a transparent glass sphere, with occasional electrical sparks flashing across the glass sphere's surface, bringing about some light.
As the four arrived here, they could feel the special ripples constantly emanating from the light ball, swaying the surrounding space, although it didn't break, it made the spatial structure around unstable and fragile.
One could imagine, if it were at peak condition, such an engine should be able to breach space for super long-distance jumps.
"No wonder they all became eager and desirous, it truly is an extremely rare complete engine." Celestia stared intently at the vibrant emerald light ball before her.
"Can we use it to leave this planet?" Tilan asked Loloria.
"Theoretically feasible, but practically, there might be many challenges." Loloria was not optimistic, as in her eyes, such an engine was still too rudimentary, insufficient to support a voyage across the Star Domain, at most fly out of the current Stellar System.
While the four discussed how to utilize this treasure, rapid footsteps sounded outside, mixed with mechanical transmission sounds.
Shortly thereafter, groups of reinforcements from the Slami Association arrived, wearing unified white uniforms, holding special electromagnetic rifles, with levitating drones at their sides, constantly scanning the surroundings.
"Leave the engine room, you reckless fellows."
As the combat personnel took position, a man wearing tea-colored glasses walked in with his hands behind him, accompanied by two powerful warriors in mechanical power armor beside him, their clean and orderly attire indicating they had just arrived.
"I am Sheldon, the executive officer of the Slami Association, everything here will be under the control of our Slami Association."
His voice was definitive and beyond questioning, followed by squads of soldiers rushing into the engine room, aiming their electromagnetic rifles at the four.
