Chapter 293: Fortress of Light of Faith
"This is the bridge of the Corruptor flagship. The commander of the Corruptor should be inside." After walking through a corridor of several hundred meters, the officer brought Li Mingze to the bridge of the Corruptor flagship.
Several engineers carrying heavy computers were connecting the data interface to the access control device. After connecting to the access control, they would use the dreadnought's onboard host to crack the access control password.
"Okay!" An engineer said and stepped aside. The door of the Corruptor flagship bridge slowly opened to both sides under the control of the computer.
Li Mingze and the officer drew the assault rifles behind them and walked towards the bridge.
There was no light in the empty bridge, and the holographic screens around the bridge were still flashing.
"Ah!" Qiuyue, who was following Li Mingze, suddenly screamed.
Li Mingze and the officer quickly turned the muzzle of the rifle and aimed the rifle in front of Qiuyue.
"Your Majesty, this should be the commander of the Corruptor." Tianyi walked forward with an expressionless face and wiped his hand on the wall of the bridge, then put his hand in front of him and scanned it for a few seconds.
Following the light, Li Mingze and the officer saw the commander of the Corruptor who had been "printed" on the wall.
At this time, the commander was only left with a robe, and blood and flesh flowed along the opening of the robe to the surrounding walls. After the effect of the gravity bomb passed, it slid to the ground due to the ship's artificial gravity to form a small sticky pool of blood.
Li Mingze used a rifle to pick up the robe on the ground with disdain, and a trace of blood and flesh flowed down the robe.
Looking at the rank badge on the robe, he threw the clothes back into the pool of blood with disgust.
"Order the biochemical control team to clean up all the wreckage on this warship, disinfect this warship three times, and then send it to the shipyard to wash it ten times inside and out for me!" Li Mingze turned around and walked towards the bridge with some nausea, muttering that he shouldn't eat so much for dinner.
As he came to the seat in front of the central control console and sat down, the holographic screens around him began to light up one by one.
However, it is obvious that the spiritual source device on the Michigan is quite expensive, and this transport ship only has one seat.
"Welcome to the transport ship Crescent 023, the ship-borne intelligence Crescent 023 is at your service." An artificial intelligence with the appearance of a female Corruptor appeared on the holographic screen in front of Li Mingze. This strange-looking artificial intelligence must be the result of the Corruptor's adjustment.
"Call out the ship-borne log!" Li Mingze ordered the 023 intelligence.
"Level 3 authority detected, log is being retrieved." After a blue light swept across Li Mingze's bracelet, a flashing level 3 symbol appeared on the console.
"Logs retrieved!"
"On August 1, 1458, Crescent 023 departed from the Ring of God and headed for the front-line Light of Faith Fortress to resupply food to the fortress."
"On September 1, 1458, Crescent 023 entered the signal shielding area and lost contact with the Alliance."
"On September 5, 1458, Crescent 023 docked at the Fortress of Faith and prepared to unload cargo, but I felt that the dispatcher at the Fortress Port Dispatch Center had a strange tone."
"On September 5, 1458, Crescent Light of Faith Fortress had been secretly occupied by Zerg infected people, and all members were parasitized. We were ambushed by Zerg on the way to the Ring of God, and the transport ship's hyperspace engine and thrusters were damaged."
"On September 6, 1458, Crescent 023, we..." The log was left with only a string of garbled characters.
"I was wondering how this transport ship was picked up by the Corruptors. It turned out that the thrusters and hyperspace engines were damaged." Li Mingze shook his head regretfully.
"Wait! This Light of Faith Fortress was secretly occupied by the Zerg, which means that this fortress may still be well preserved!" Li Mingze couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this.
"023, call out the coordinates and detailed information of the Light of Faith Fortress!" Li Mingze rubbed his hands and ordered 023.
"The coordinates have been sent to your bracelet. The Light of Faith Fortress belongs to the second-level authority and can be mobilized, and it is now stored in the God Ring host." 023 explained to Li Mingze.
"Wait a minute, what is the level of mobilization authority for this spacecraft?" Li Mingze suddenly thought of something.
"The Crescent 023 medium-sized transport ship belongs to the logistics corps, and the third-level authority can be used." 023 explained patiently.
"If the third-level authority can control you, it means that the Corruptors have long known the existence of the God Ring, so why didn't they occupy the ring world?" Li Mingze touched his chin in confusion.
"If the Corruptor you are talking about is the race that controlled this ship last time, I can answer your doubts."
"The Corruptor race has the ability to directly control electronic equipment. They bypassed the central control computer and directly simulated the signal of the control computer through their limbs to control the spacecraft module isolated from me."
"They didn't really control this spacecraft!" 023 slowly told the truth about the Corruptor.
"I thought so." Li Mingze remembered the scene when the Corruptor rolled up the anti-gravity engine of the Imperial battleship and used it directly when it broke into the atmosphere of the Ring World.
It seems that the Corruptor civilization must have devoured the genes of a race with this special ability.
"The ammunition supply ship will tow the Crescent 023 back to the Empire's New Starting Point Galaxy." After confirming that the threat on the spacecraft was completely gone, Li Mingze commanded the ammunition supply ship to launch a magnetic tow rope towards the Crescent, slowly towing the Crescent to the edge of the galaxy.
The reason for using the supply ship to tow is that the thrusters and hyperspace engines on the Crescent are already owned by the Corruptor civilization. The Empire does not have the ability to control electronic equipment at will like the Corruptor, so it can only be towed back honestly.
After the warships of the Imperial Fleet have salvaged the useful wreckage on the battlefield, each spaceship dragged a large amount of damaged wreckage behind it and gathered together.
These wreckages are refined materials. Taking them back for remelting can greatly save the time of mining minerals. The Empire can then quickly build more warships.
The battleships disappeared in a flash of light, dragging the wreckage and Crescent 023, and the Michigan Dreadnought also jumped into the hyperspace with a flash of light.
After the fleet entered hyperspace, Li Mingze finally took some time to study the location of the Light of Faith Fortress.
As he, Qiuyue and Tianyi came to the map room on the Dreadnought, the originally dark map room was instantly illuminated by a huge galaxy hologram.
This huge galaxy hologram kept rotating in the middle of the room, and with the light of some nebulae, the entire map room was beautiful.
Li Mingze came to the room and placed the ring on the galaxy hologram.
