When Asharena and Kassandra discussed the possible "self-healing system" of this huge space station in front of the viewing window, General Nicholas Egg, who served as the commander-in-chief of the engineering, floated in this open "connection section", "observing" this metal holy land that he could describe in his eyes as "magnificent".

In the eyes of others, the iron ball star man at this moment was just floating around aimlessly in the room, but in fact, his perception that ordinary people could not understand had penetrated into the depths of this maze made of steel and polymer. Under the layers of metal walls, roofs and crisscrossing pipe networks, and under the passage, the sky stood in front of him, showing a more complex, more three-dimensional and more incredible posture.

He stopped in the middle of the room and "gazed" at his feet.

There is a deep structure that is several kilometers thick. Darkness and cold dominate those unawakened cabins and ancient systems. This huge space station is in deep dormant, and "look" up... This dormant state has lasted for countless thousands of years.

In Nicholas's opinion, this is abnormal.

He could perceive the amazing technical level and its solid structure more clearly than other "people". He knew that such a giant space structure was actually far more "sturdy and durable" than people imagined. He made a rough estimate that if the Sky Station had fallen into a deep sleep due to disrepair in recent hundreds or even thousands of years, then everything was understandable, but if it had entered this state more than 100,000 years ago... it should have been too much damage at that time.

Is it some internal reason that caused the shutdown of the space station? Is it attacks and invasions at the system level? Or are those "setting people" who accidentally create shoddy projects?

Nicholas thought, slowly extending his perception deeper. He "saw" the cold metals opened in his "view" like a curtain that kept retreating. The walls and roofs of the space station showed a hazy and illusory translucent texture in his perception. He slowly sank from a penetrating perspective to the vicinity of the main energy network, which was already close to the ring-shaped central axis of the Sky Station, and then his perception could no longer go deeper.

Even with his special talent, he still has no power when facing something as amazing as the sky station.

The sound of metal knocking footsteps came from beside him, and Alice-6's voice came into Nicholas's "ear": "Commander, the environment has been searched, and no suspected structure of the control interface was found."

Nicholas turned around and his attention fell on the "Iron Man Commander". From his perspective, this "Miss Alice" was a beautiful creature, but this "beauty" did not refer to her appearance. Although her appearance should be quite beautiful to human standards, Nicholas admired more about her exquisite mechanical structure, her exquisite and sturdy endoskeleton protective shell, and the folding and deformation tool module hidden in the limbs... This lady is much more beautiful than the strange flesh and blood body of humans.

Unfortunately, it's not a ball.

Nicholas sighed slightly in his heart, and a buzzing sound came from his body: "This should be just a transitional area for the space station staff to stop and rest and enjoy the space scenery. The control nodes of the entire cabin should be deeper."

"Do you need to go deeper?" Alice-6 stared at the "temporary superior" in front of her with an inorganic look, her expression and tone were as cold and hard as her tone. There was not much experience in interpersonal communication in her brand new mind core to adjust her "interactive behavior", but fortunately, the commander in front of her didn't care about it. "My soldiers and I are in good condition."

Nicholas's eyes swept through the entire hall and confirmed the progress of the logistics team setting up temporary supply points, his body fluctuated slightly: "Notify the Dragon and Siren to summon the advance team and we will continue to move forward."

Under the command of the commander-in-chief, a advance team was quickly organized to set up camps and supply points in this connecting cabin. The advance team continued to advance towards the dark silent cabins ahead under the leadership of several team leaders and General Nicholas Egg.

This elite team of more than ten people left the "rest hall" with a wide viewing window and a good view, and passed through the corridor connecting lighting and gravity outside the hall, which had just been restored to light and gravity. They explored and moved forward while exploring in the silent steel monster. Asarena and the dragon clan members led by Berlanta were walking outside the team, and the iron soldiers led by Alice-6 were walking alongside them. The pioneers at the front were the Siren Exploration Team led by Cassandra, and Commander Nicholas was protected in the middle of the team.

After several dozen days of operation in this ancient space station, this "joint engineering team" and "exploration force" have formed an effective action plan: when heading to unfamiliar areas, let the Siren be the pioneer of the way exploration in front, and the dragon clan with strong single combat and vitality protects the commander in the middle of the team, and the iron soldier with multiple detection functions and quick actions is at the end of the team, mainly responsible for scanning and recording the surrounding environment.

As for why the Siren were asked to be the pioneers of the way forward... I can only say that I understand everything.

They passed through multiple connecting corridors, passing by several temporarily locked gates in the middle. In Nicholas' perception, the team seemed to be approaching the end of the current "ring" and the energy flow deep in the surrounding walls began to gradually become less stable.

According to experience, this means that there is another "disabled cabin" ahead, and a certain load balancing mechanism is trying to transfer the energy of the normal cabin to the key systems in the disabled cabin. This "distribution" has led to insufficient energy supply in the current area.

An extremely towering gate appeared at this moment at the end of the connecting passage, standing in the eyes of the advance team members.

The gate was as tall as a city gate, and its width seemed to accommodate several steel chariots to pass side by side. On the silver-white alloy gate, you can also see some "logos" with unknown meanings. Similar logos appeared many times in the space station. They were not written or decorated, but were most likely a symbol representing a department or ethnic group in the Departure Cruise.

In addition, the lights around the corridor around the gate are obviously much dimmer than the previous cabin section. You can also see a dark red light floating slowly somewhere near the door frame.

A Siren Exploration Team member swayed his tail and climbed near the gate, poked the cold alloy door with the tip of his tail, and turned around and waved his hand to the others: "No response."

"It's another interruption of energy supply...but this is the first time I have seen such a large gate," Nicholas muttered, scanning the mechanical structure near the gate and saying to others. "The gate's control mechanism seems to be intact, but it's not activated. I'm trying to transfer the lighting energy in the nearby area to the gate's control mechanism, but it's best to check if there is any danger on the opposite side before opening the door."

"I'll do it," the Siren Exploration Team member who had been to the gate before immediately volunteered to pat his chest. "This door does not seem to be completely closed. I felt that there were some small gaps at the bottom, and wait for me to flow in and take a look!"

As soon as the words were finished, the Siren Miss's whole body suddenly exploded into a mist in the sky. Then the mist contracted again and condensed into a puddle. Under the strange gaze of Asarena and Berlanta, the living puddle began to flow towards the huge door not far away, and penetrated into the gap at the bottom of the door bit by bit.

Just as this Siren lady said, this door was not closed to death for some reason. It left a little crack in the door, which was so small that the naked eye could not detect, but it was enough for a Siren to seep in...

After a while, the alive puddle completely penetrated into the opposite side of the gate in front of everyone. Asarena immediately looked up at Cassandra not far away, and asked what she often asked about these days: "Are you dead?"

"Not yet," Cassandra waved her hand while sensing the breath from the opposite side of the gate, "She is reorganizing... It seems to be pretty good... Ah, news has come! She said that there is a very, very large open space on the opposite side, and it seems that everything is normal except for lighting failures. The temperature, air pressure and gravity are fine, well..."

Kassandra frowned, as if listening carefully to the information shared by the Siren opposite the door through the psychic resonance, her tone gradually became strange: "She said... there seemed to be a very huge tree in the darkness, and it might not be a tree, but something else. She felt that the atmosphere in front was a bit strange, and she didn't dare to get close for a while, but she was not in danger at her current location."

"A very huge tree? And it's not necessarily a tree? What a mess?" Red Dragon Belllanda muttered subconsciously, but it seemed that she had become accustomed to the performance of these Siren teammates who were both reliable and unreliable. She quickly turned her eyes to the commander of the team, "Mr. Nicholas, there seems to be no danger across the door. Do you want to open the door?"

Nicholas hesitated for a moment and quickly made a decision: "Everyone retreat a little, I'm going to open the door."

Everyone immediately obeyed the order and retreated. Nicholas himself also went to a safer place. Then he began to try to control the control system behind the door according to the experience accumulated over the past few dozen days. In fact, he did not have the ability to directly control the energy flow, but here, the energy flow of most facilities is based on material carriers. No matter how delicate and subtle these material carriers are, they are "obedient metals" that can be controlled in his perception. Under his delicate and clever control, some original energy circuits were slightly adjusted, and the gate controller, which was originally exhausted, gradually awakened.

The lights in the nearby corridor gradually dimmed, and a low buzzing sound came from both sides of the gate. After a while, accompanied by the clicking sound of the mechanical device unlocking and the "hissing" sound that seemed to be relieved, the huge gate that looked extremely strong finally retreated to both sides.

An extremely vast and dark space appeared in front of Asarena.

"This is..." Asarena looked at this place wider than the "assembly hall" in the previous traffic cabin. Although everything in her vision was shrouded in darkness, she still noticed the amazing breadth of the place and its more amazing dome height. In the dark space that seemed boundless, she saw some hazy shadows. A few glimmers like emergency lights flashed in the interlaced shadows, outlining a more bizarre and strange outline of light and shadow in the darkness. This scene made her nervous, "This place is different from the 'style' in all previous areas..."

"Look at that one over there!" Beerlanda next to him suddenly pointed to the depths of the darkness, "Is that the 'tree' mentioned by the Siren Miss?"

Asarena immediately looked in the direction of the other person's fingers. In the darkness, she finally saw a large outline of shadows, which seemed to be thorns or crystal thorns "extended" from the ground, circling and entangled to spread to the high place, and then spreading around halfway through. The dim light brought by the emergency light made the "curved thorns" appear as if they were tree trunks, crowns, and exposed roots. At first glance... it felt like a giant tree.

But that is definitely not a tree.

“Lighting requires more lighting here!”

Asarena said loudly, and at the same time she had raised her hand to release a lighting technique. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

With the dragon's night vision ability, how could he not see what is here clearly?

Although this hall is dim, it is not completely without light. There are many light sources in the field of view, and as the door is opened, the corridor outside has also been brightly lit. Logically speaking, a large number of lights will shine into the hall through the open door, but why... it is still so dim that the dragon's eyes seem to be covered with a shadow here, as if the lights were suppressed by some force in the depths of the darkness?

With these doubts that suddenly emerged in his heart, the illumination balls in Asharena's hand had already flown to the sky, followed by a dozen illumination balls of various sizes released by others, which were enough to make the entire hall light brightly in an instant, but the dimness in the entire hall was only slightly dispersed a little.

All magical balls of light seemed to be suppressed by invisible power, and the light they emitted quickly faded in the darkness and was almost nothing.

Asarena looked at the "illumination techniques" floating in the air, like faint and bright spots, and suddenly realized something

The light sources in this hall that look as weak as "emergency lights" are actually not emergency lighting. Those are lighting systems that operate at full power.

It was some powerful shadow power that filled the place, suppressing all lighting, and even turning "darkness" into something inherently attributed, giving this entire hall!

"All members are alert, the environment is abnormal!" Alice-6's crisp and cold voice sounded in the hall, and the iron soldiers accompanying him immediately entered a state of combat readiness. At the same time, the dragons brought by Asarena and Bellanta and the dragon descendants also activated their protective equipment, ready to deal with dangerous things that appeared from the darkness at any time.

Even the sirens who have always been carefree quickly reacted. In a series of splashing water, they turned into huge sea demons, sea beasts with shells and even tentacles that simulated the God of Storm. In the dark, these deep-sea creatures turned into a circle of indescribable and harmonious god barriers, protecting their teammates.

Asarena looked around and swallowed.

I really can't say whether this weird hall is scary or these sirens who are deified in harmony with one disagreement...

And in this extremely tense atmosphere, nothing changed in the hall.
Chapter completed!
