Walk alone in the abyss

Of course, they didn't go directly to the administrative star of the Cass Federation.

A normal administrative star with a full range of defenses around the planet.

This colony is just a coordinate, a beacon, guiding them to the real secret base.

——A certain abandoned resource star in the same star system as the administrative star.

While Kolev explained the various operations of the spaceship to Yang Ming, he steadily avoided several slow-moving patrol ships, avoided most of the deserted defense detectors, and drove into the synchronous orbit of the resource star.

After confirming that there was no abnormality, the pirate ship rowed into the thin atmosphere of the resource star.

The planet is like a regular lump of ice. ——It is outside the habitable zone of the star system and can get relatively little stellar heat.

When Yang Ming looked down, the ground was covered with white snow.

"There's plenty of fresh water here, it's just that the atmosphere is thinner."

Kolev introduced with a smile:

"This planet wasn't here originally, it should have been dragged over in the last civilization era, as the companion star of the planet next door, but the resources here have been drained, leaving only some huge holes under the ice sheet.

"The planet next door is also very interesting, and I have a lot of assets on it. This time, time is tight, so I won't take you shopping."

Yang Ming yawned, the operation buttons in his eyes were like a group of flying fish young, madly attacking his retina.

He felt that he needed to get a shot of gene stabilization solution later.

Studying in class is more likely to cause anxiety than fighting.

"How long are we going to be here?" Yang Ming asked.

"We've brought enough supplies, so we can live here for three years," Kolev said with a smile, "but I can't make Kimo wait too long. I'll stay for about three months, and leave after a while."

Mimilly asked, "Daddy, is there anything I can do?"

"Happy, my boy," Kolev laughed, "you just have to enjoy everything here, this is the fortress I have designed for the two of us for more than ten years, and you will be surprised later! Guess I used it What? Here's a small portion of the fortune I've amassed over half my life."

Yang Ming immediately looked forward to it.

——What to expect from the part about pirate wealth.

The pirate ship slowly sailed towards the fishbone-like ridge, and Kolev firmly stuffed the pirate ship into an extremely imperceptible canyon. Yang Ming and others were asked to put on bulky planetary exploration suits.

When the old crew wanted to move supplies, Kolev just waved: "Don't worry about it, come with me! There are a lot of tireless workers here!"

A group of people left the pirate ship and slowly reached the bottom of the canyon along the ridge.

Kolev walked to the knife-sharpened stone wall, lowered his head and fiddled with it for a while, when a two-meter by three-meter projection screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

This is a display interface, where a block of monitoring screens appeared.

Yang Ming moved to the back to take a look, and exclaimed, "It's much more spacious inside than a spaceship."

"Haha! Hanton! You want to know what I'm doing here, right?" Kolev said excitedly.

"In no mood."

"No! Tell me what you want! My dear first mate Hanton, I can give you the management authority equivalent to my daughter!"

"The scenery here is really nice."

Yang Ming calmly looked at the sky filled with aurora.

Mimily on the side couldn't help laughing out loud.

After repeatedly confirming that the base had not been invaded, Kolev waited for a few minutes before opening the base gate.

Accompanied by the roaring sound, the camouflaged ice and stone layers on both sides moved slowly, revealing an oblique downward passage.

Kolev and Yang Ming walked in the forefront, and everyone lined up and walked down slowly. After passing through several rooms with a structure similar to a 'ship lock', they finally entered the spacious base that looked like a large aircraft carrier hangar. hall.

Kolev's long-planned performance officially debuted.

Two rows of robots with different shapes are neatly arranged, using their bodies of different structures and sizes, while making an elegant bow, and then shouting with electronically synthesized voices of more than fifty different voices:

"Welcome home, master."

Yang Ming looked at these robots with low-level intelligence with great interest.

Half of them are humanoid omnics like maids and housekeepers, and the rest are engineering omnics. There are still stone debris on the tracks, and it seems that they have been running for a long time.

Kolev's old buddies were completely dumbfounded.

"Molly!" Kolev yelled, "You haven't come out to receive guests yet! Where are you, Molly!"

"Here we come, Master."

The cold electronic synthesis sound suddenly sounded, and the light from the four corners interweaved a three-dimensional projection in front of Kolev.

This is a virtual character with a somewhat contradictory appearance.

She was wearing a professional skirt, stockings, and a pair of red-soled high-heeled shoes, but her small round face was as immature as a girl, and she also wore a pair of square-frame glasses.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Kolev, you have exposed your hobby."

"This guest, please don't slander my master."

Molly—this virtual image is speaking seriously, and the voice seems to come out of her mouth:

"When the master set my appearance for the first time, the secretion of relevant hormones in his body was not enough to make him interested in this aspect. He is old enough."

"Molly! Shut up!" Kolev took off the helmet of his exploration suit and cursed through gritted teeth.

Molly whispered: "Good master, if I hurt your face because of my honesty for a while, I feel deeply guilty for it."

"Reduce your poisonous tongue index by 20%, your nagging index by 50%, and your humor index by 50%! Damn it! Why did I give you so many boring parameters!"

Kolev bumped Yang Ming with his shoulder, and cursed:

"Having this guy bickering with me is already giving me a headache, now, some of your functions can be laid off!"

"Oh, what a joy to be...set up."

Molly's tone of voice changed a little and became much more serious.

"Master, please set permissions for guests."

"Mimily, my only daughter, the heir to everything after my death," Kolev pointed to Mimily at the back, "Her authority is set to the highest level."

He lowered his voice and added: "In addition to my property list, this will not be given to her until after I die."

"It has been set, the second master."

Mimi Li raised her hand to her forehead, her face full of helplessness: "Dad! I don't need you to survive!"

"But you are definitely not as comfortable living under my care."

Kolev smiled triumphantly, and pointed at Yang Ming again:

"This guy has the same authority as Mimily, but he is prohibited from entering the next residence of these ladies. Others have VIP authority."

"It has been set, the third master, it is forbidden to enter the lady's room...but I can't control those mechanical door locks that are not connected to the Internet."

"Just let you keep an eye on him! Report to me anytime!"

"Yes, my old master."

Molly's virtual image took out a notebook, lowered her head and quickly recorded something.

Then she turned to roll her name, and two housekeeper robots and eight maid robots stepped forward to help Yang Ming and his party take off their heavy planetary exploration suits; more than a dozen crawler robots left the base through the dedicated passage on the other side to go to the pirate ship to carry supplies.

A few minutes later, everyone sat on the soft sofas on the left side of the main hall, drinking delicious drinks, listening to melodious music, and admiring the almost real landscape projection on the wall.

The old pirates kept feeling the luxury here.

Yang Ming couldn't wait to wander around.

After the robots left, the front hall became a little empty.

On the left side of the front hall is the entertainment area, and on the right side is the work area, with several workbenches, a row of black square chassis, and several highly integrated consoles.

The center of the front hall was empty, Yang Ming observed carefully for a while, and soon discovered something unusual.

This is a circular lifting device with a diameter of 20 meters, and there is a hidden exit diagonally above, and thinking of the terrain outside - the ridges arranged like fishbone, Yang Ming suddenly had some guesses.

"Kolev, there are escape boats and ejection acceleration tracks here, right?"

Yang Ming asked in surprise.

Kolev, who was showing off to his old buddies, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"A qualified pirate must always think about the way out. Since you are so interested, I will take you for a stroll first, Hanton. This is just the tip of the iceberg."

Mimi Li asked: "Dad, you used to disappear every once in a while, did you just come here?"

"Yes," Kolev smiled, "If I die in prison, you will get the message from Molly. Here is the last gift I will give you, a self-circulating base."

Mimi Li's eyes were full of emotions, and she said with some guilt: "I messed up."

"Cheer up," Kolev sighed, "Your Uncle Hanton is right, I used too many filters when looking at you, but you don't have to worry at all, Dad will help you take care of everything."

"But Dad..."

"Let's go, I'll take you around first!"

Kolev didn't give his daughter more opportunities to speak, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Yang Ming and walked to the rightmost corridor.

Mimily's expression was a little gloomy.

"Master Mimily," Molly's projection appeared beside her, "he loves you very much."

"Thanks."

"He loves you more than you think," Molly whispered.

Mimi Li shrugged, folded her arms and followed behind the two men in front, and said with a low laugh: "Looking at the way it is now, he likes Uncle Hanton better."

Molly said: "For an old man with a weird temper and a sloppy temper like your father, it is actually very rare to find a friend who shares the same smell. This is a wonderful experience for him in his later years."

Mimi Li sneered and raised her eyebrows slightly at Molly.

They started a pleasant chat.

...

Yang Ming learned about the origin of this base from the old man.

When Kolev planned all this, he spent a lot of money to get a supporting base system for the planetary transformation system, and the machine was built for more than ten years.

"Don't worry, I won't cause an omnic crisis. If no one comes here, it will only continue to operate for twenty years."

Kolev laughed:

"Molly is the brain here, and I put a bunch of patches in her brain so she looks goofy, which is also my masterpiece."

He turned his head and glanced at Mimily, who was attracted by the ornaments, and said in a low voice, "I usually call Molly my little daughter. Actually, when my wife and I planned to have a second child, I wanted to name her Molly." Molly."

"Mimilie will be jealous," Yang Ming reminded with a smile, "You'd better treat Molly as a little housekeeper."

"Yes, that's right, Mimily is very much like her mother in this way."

Kelev paused, looked towards the corridor beside him, and said with a smile: "The tomb of her mother is in front of it, and it will be mine in the future. I hope so."

Mimily had already been attracted here by the signpost, and accompanied by Molly, she walked towards the tomb at the end of the corridor.

There is an indoor jungle inside.

Yang Ming leaned against the wall projecting the landscape of the aquarium, watching the backs of his two 'daughters' together with Kolev.

Those old pirates have started to visit this base in other ways.

Yang Ming asked slowly, "What are you going to do?"

"which aspect?"

"Kill Kimo."

"Come with me," Kolev put his hands behind his back subconsciously, this action was still influenced by Yang Ming, "Molly, cancel the monitoring of the two of us, and remind us if anyone approaches."

Molly's voice came from the wall: "Good master."

Kolev took Yang Ming to stroll slowly, passing the well-decorated residential area and entertainment room, and walked towards the sports field behind the base.

The old pirate carefully analyzed:

"The black dragon will not be monolithic now. Kimo was not originally my intended successor. He is the captain and the captain. The other three captains have gaps with him, at least they won't be as obedient as they appear on the surface.

"My appearance is equivalent to hitting these gaps with a hammer, and the next thing to do is to wait, wait a little bit.

"It's Jimo who is anxious now.

"I want to choose one of the other three captains to instigate rebellion. I understand their natures. They are all pirates I have cultivated. This is the basis for me to fight Kimo.

"And then, Hunton, I need your help."

"Get rid of Jimo?" Yang Ming smiled, "I need an assault boat, or let me be in the same room as him."

Kolev patted Yang Ming's arm with a smile, and said warmly: "Although it's not my intention to say that, it's a deal. I ask you to help me because of my daughter, so I should pay you enough."

He stopped and pressed a few times on one side of the wall. The metal wall rose slowly, revealing a transparent glass wall.

And a giant hangar behind a glass wall.

A pincer-shaped medium-sized ship was lying quietly in the hangar, next to some movable high-legs, and a dozen crawler robots busy everywhere.

"This is your remuneration. I will transfer it to you at a very low price, just... one million federal credits, and you are allowed to pay in installments, how about it?"

Kolev smiled like a profiteer.

"Oh, just one million?"

Yang Ming couldn't look back for a moment: "Are you serious?"
