Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1262 - 1229: The "Lost" Longinus

The Duanzi Dragon baring its claws, the Internet Celebrity Dragon exuding murderous intent, and the Dead House Dragon roaring wildly are back online, acting foolish, being cute, and showing off their silliness. The Evil Dragons have resumed operations, congratulations! Congratulations!

Everyone involuntarily wiped a cold sweat.

The destruction caused by these Evil Dragons when they explode is certainly no less than that of the "Sagali" civilization.

If things go wrong, the Cangqiong Star Civilization might have to eliminate all adult Metallic Dragons before the full-scale invasion of the "Sagali" civilization.

As for Sky Dragon City?

Emmm... Dragons from other series are throwing flowers in celebration, and the Dragon King: Who the hell are they?

The life or death of the Metallic Dragons does not even concern the Dragon King themselves, which is a very Metallic Dragon-like thought!

As for whether the "Sagali" civilization still has undercover agents in Cangqiong Star and Blue Star, Chen Fei didn't have a reliable way to identify them, and the sovereignty holders wouldn't open up such important intelligence channels to him.

But now, most of the data flow between the two civilized planets had to pass under his nose, perfect for surveillance. No intelligence channels? Well, now it's practically delivered to his doorstep! Even if it's unpaid labor, he'd do it even if it costs him!

With the existence of a "planetary-level compute node," Chen Fei lacks nothing but computing power resources he can squander, at least 97% left to squander.

Due to the characteristics of the civilization, Cangqiong Star doesn't have a high demand for computing power resources. The electronic industry imported from Blue Star is already sufficient for its use.

Established on an industrial civilization foundation, Blue Star's demand for computing power resources is nearly limitless, especially in entertainment, which consumes more than half of the compute resource usage. Were most Blue Star People to know that the Heart Core of the Metallic Dragons could be used to make revolutionary supercomputers, countless Dragon Slayers would likely spring up.

System: Ding! Longinus retrieval mission extended by 48 hours! | Mission failure: No deduction of energy point limits.

The sudden subtitle made Chen Fei feel that this Dog System was really absurd, like God hand-feeding someone, while his side had an officially endorsed cheat task system!

Is this a freebie mission, or did something new arise on the side of the "Sagali" civilization?

However, an even more absurd event occurred.

Just three seconds later, the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" reported a progress update that needed special attention.

Adam: Longinus' position confirmed, expected to be retrieved within 30 minutes.

The actual time to lock onto Longinus was shorter than planned. In the midst of a lot of fragments colliding with each other, Longinus, hidden within a certain fragment, poked through a "Worker Bee-1" space collection type robot. Other buddies tugged it back, sent it to a small shuttle airship hurrying over, preparing to deliver it to Chen Fei.

"'Adam', resume the execution of the cleanup plan! Fifth Fleet, enter maximum alert status!"

Chen Fei put the tasks of the space collection robots back on track.

Even if the Fifth Airship Battle Group was forcefully breaking open a route, the orbit full of countless fragments still needed to be cleared as soon as possible. Otherwise, if these fragments spread out, the entire near-Earth orbit would be "polluted" by this space debris.

In the AR visual effect-assisted interface's field of view, Longinus' location, distance from the "No.2 Command Ship," and recovery route, among other related data, were marked.

Should there be any disturbances, the Fifth Airship Battle Group would fire without hesitation, and the combat fleet of the sovereignty holders would not be polite either.

It wasn't until the over four-meter-long Longinus was successfully delivered to the kilometer flying ship's bridge and truly fell into his hands that Chen Fei finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

This thing was extremely important and absolutely could not fall into the hands of the parasitic species, or it would definitely become a colossal disaster for the two civilized planets.

System: Ding! Longinus retrieval mission complete, energy point reserve limit increased by 10,000 points!

Energy Points: 58,441/70,000

The Dog System, though absurd, never delayed reward payment and fulfilled it immediately.

The efficiency of a single metal construct able to evolve could reach 70,000 tons, greatly enhancing efficiency.

"Longinus?"

Lord Randon watched the item in Chen Fei's hand and involuntarily felt a bit dazed.

Longinus is not unique, but finite, with a total of 108 pieces, forming 54 pairs, able to establish 54 "Dimensional Gates," enough for the current Blue Star Civilization. After all, the Blue Star Civilization has not truly entered the interstellar era yet.

When fleets charge into the cosmic sea, additional ultralong-distance channel establishment methods are needed, such as "Stargate" or "Space Transmission," or technology like the "Wormhole Cloud" of the "Sagali" civilization. However, the conditions required for exploring the cosmic sea demand more than just these and need to meet many aspects.

"Left by 'Cybertrom,' just in time retrieved."

Chen Fei gestured to the dimensional coordinate in his hand, the three-strand twisted form also usable as a weapon, unstoppable, even a protective barrier can't withstand a gentle poke.

The next second, Longinus disappeared from his hand.

Perhaps it's because the "Boundary Pearl" life space has a time rule absent in ordinary space series alchemical storage artifacts that allowed successful storage of Longinus.

At this moment, it was casually hanging on a branch of the "Life Tree," tightly entwined by several vines.

The safety coefficient here far surpasses any safe, and even a Divine Breed dares not trespass lightly.

"The sovereignties didn't retrieve this thing in advance?!"

Louis Landon found it hard to believe that such an important thing hadn't been picked up until Chen Fei found it.

"Probably due to mutual buck-passing because the universe doesn't belong to any sovereignty, and no one wants to take responsibility."

Chen Fei could understand the reason why the sovereignties ignored this Longinus, as absurd as reality often gets, like the Antarctic Continent, where sovereignties mess around, all clamoring to protect Antarctica's ecological environment, but end up making a mess out of it.

"What a damned mess! Hey, were you planning to return this Longinus to..." At this point, Lord paused, since none of the sovereignties cared or could care, who should this Longinus be handed over to?

"Hehe, just say it wasn't found, let some people worry!"

Chen Fei knew all too well the nature of those politicians who won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Scaring them is fine; at least they'll pay attention.

Hence, the submission of this Longinus must not be straightforward.

Everyone on the bridge was one's own, absolutely tight-lipped, with AI solely in control throughout, and Longinus hung directly on the "Life Tree's" treetop, worry-free concerning leaked information, making Chen Fei's prank completely feasible.

"Uh, won't this be overkill?"

Louis Landon could imagine the sovereignties being anxious once they learned a Longinus got lost, rendering politicians and administrations restless, losing sleep.

"Should have rushed earlier."

Chen Fei felt no guilt, having borne too much, there should be someone to share the load.

Better a party shared than a boring one alone, wake the hell up, everyone, it's time to party!
