Chapter 1187 It smells so good (1 update, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Breaking through the concealment formation is actually not as simple as imagined - the formations are all connected to self-destruction devices.
That is to say, Qu Jianlei is too familiar with the concealment array and has seen many self-destructing devices, so he is sufficiently vigilant.
Moreover, his spiritual consciousness also helped a lot, and he was able to identify the well-hidden self-destruct mechanism outside the formation.
If it weren't for these three prerequisites, it would be extremely difficult for him to capture a complete concealment array.
From this, we can also guess that this formation should come from the alliance, otherwise why would there be a need to set up a self-destruction device in the secret camp?
Qu Jianlei understands this mentality very well. When he was weak, he repeatedly built secret camps many times.
In the many secret camps he set up, almost no self-destruction devices were installed.
It's nothing more than some resources. Even if you can't use them and are discovered by outsiders, it's just a small loss.
Is it worthwhile to set up a self-destruct device and use some additional resources?
Therefore, the target of this self-destruction should be the concealment array. It is impossible for all the resources stored in it to be destroyed.
The two secret camps that were blown up fully illustrate this point.
However, there are many differences between the hidden formation from the alliance and the one set up by Qu Jianlei!
The overall idea is not much different, but the details are much different.
Moreover, the differences reflect many different ideas, and it seems that the direction of development has deviated.
If possible, Qu Jianlei really wanted to carefully consider the similarities and differences.
Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. In terms of research, he basically walks alone.
If nutritional supplements and others have questions, they can come and ask him, but he has no one to consult.
This hidden formation should be the work of the Alliance, a powerful force in the country.
Although Qu Jianlei looked down on other people's research on divine literature, he was still in awe of the strength that Guojia could exert.
Unfortunately, time does not allow him to stay here longer, and the behavior of squatting in place is not suitable for this moment.
So in the end, he carefully dismantled the concealment array and collected all the materials on the star.
When he was about to leave, Qu Jianlei placed a firestorm object with a similar effect at the location of the self-destruct device.
As the 1314 ship left, it launched several energy beam attacks, completely destroying the secret camp.
As a result, even if the rebel organization comes to check quietly, they still can't be sure what happened here.
Two days later, when Qu Jianlei was replenishing supplies for the young master's starship, he replenished a lot more and even sent out a small attack ship.
In fact, for his team, the attack ship is not considered wealthy.
However, considering the possible seizures in the future, he decided to free up more cargo space to load those harvests.
There is a large storage ring in his hand with a lot of space inside, but as one of his trump cards, why should others pay attention to it?
The young master saw the small attack ship and knew exactly what it meant. However, he was not satisfied and once again showed his true nature as a money man.
"Sir, how much does this attack ship cost? Is there nothing else?"
The purchase of a brand-new attack ship is only 50 million, and a second-hand one that is 80% new will only cost 20 million.
Qu Jianlei didn't have many items on hand that could be used for payment. Before coming to the Thorn Star Territory, he didn't bring many banknotes.
He had brought a lot of energy blocks, but he had only used a third of them now. Considering his future needs, he did not dare to pay casually.
The crystals just captured... are not suitable for use.
As we all know, the specifications of alien beast crystals are not uniform. Once spread, it is easy for interested people to identify their origins.
Qu Jianlei also felt a little overwhelmed, but he still tried to think more about these details.
So he could only say, "Some things are more sensitive...do you understand?"
All we have to do is say it clearly. The young master knew it, but he still showed his greed, "Then...how to deal with it?"
Although Qu Jianlei felt that he could accept the other party's greed for money, he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
"I will give you an explanation. Why are you anxious?"
However, after the young master's starship left, Mrs. Jia muttered again, "Don't think that he must be really greedy for money."
"I understand," Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "It's just that I'm still afraid of death."
There are so many allusions to self-destruction on Blue Star, but it's not like he doesn't know them all, and it's just reassuring to show his shortcomings.
This young master showed his shortcomings and was probably testing his own attitude - who wouldn't worry about being silenced?
However, in the next five days, there was no new news from the starships under its jurisdiction.
Two days later, Buckingham's starship discovered an anomaly in the void.
After Qu Jianlei rushed over, he found that it was a false alarm again. This time he did not issue an attack, but just let Buckingham's starship leave.
In short, it was a mixture of truth and falsehood. In the next half month, he dealt with three anomalies in this way.
The other four major teams successively destroyed two secret camps of the resisters, but gained little.
By this time, everyone was already wondering what the hidden mechanism of the secret camp was.
However, it is very difficult to analyze the mechanism based on the information currently available. It can even be said that there is no clue.
Naturally, the four teams started to inquire about the other teams - copying homework was really fun. The Digital Phantom team is particularly valued by them.
Qu Jianlei has clearly issued a gag order, but things in this world cannot withstand careful scrutiny.
The abnormality of those four starships was still observed by others - the attack frequency of these starships became a bit low.
However, just when they were desperate to find out the whole story, the young master's starship discovered something unusual again.
This time it was still on a star. The star was still not very big, with a diameter of more than a hundred kilometers.
After the 1314 ship arrived, they used the imitation divine consciousness equipment to investigate again. The expressions of Qu Jianlei and others suddenly changed slightly.
This time the concealment array is not small, and it is covered by three concealment arrays together.
Qu Jianlei immediately used his spiritual consciousness to inform his teammates, "Don't use your spiritual consciousness. Get rid of this troublesome guy first."
After the young master's starship received the notification, he was also a little confused: Can it be confirmed after scanning it once?
Although Qu Jianlei and others did not explain anything, they also summarized some experiences.
——The boss’s starship usually scans more than once when determining an abnormality.
The young master asked Qu Jianlei again through the secret channel, "Sir, do you want to help?"
I have to admit, this guy's intuition is really not that sharp.
"I left you," Qu Jianlei said calmly, without showing any emotion.
Because he was not sure whether there was anyone in the hidden formation, and if so, whether he could monitor the conversations in the private channel.
Xiaohu could sense the intrusion of some data, but it was of little use at the moment.
Because there are too many abnormal energies and electromagnetism in the black area, external judgment standards are not suitable to be used here.
In any case, Qu Jianlei would rather overestimate the other party than reveal his flaws in the details.
When the young master heard this, he ordered the starship to leave without saying a word.
After they left, Ship 1314 began to swim around the star, the protective cover slowly raised, and each gun port began to charge.
However, even though 1314 had assumed a fighting stance, the star was still silent and there was no response.
When the muzzle charging was completed, Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "You can really hold your breath."
"I'm afraid they have no choice," Mrs. Jia muttered softly and stopped talking.
Mu Guang also spoke up, "If there are really people, they should have felt the multiple scans of the equipment... Do we need to summon them?"
The young master's starship must have been scanned more than once, otherwise it would be impossible to report it.
Coupled with 1314's scan and the current fighting posture, it is impossible for no one to discover it.
Currently, the team's main combat strength is still missing Qing Hu and Bentley. These two powerful combat forces are second only to the Big Four.
"No need," Qu Jianlei shook his head, then looked at Nutrients and Mrs. Jia, "Let's feel it together?"
The next moment, three powerful spiritual consciousnesses suddenly burst out and swept across the star as fast as they could.
"There are people and starships!" Mrs. Jia was the first to issue a warning.
Almost at the same time, Nutritional Agent also said, "Dodge! Be quick!"
Qu Jianlei didn't say anything, but he informed Xiao Hu of the attack direction immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Ship 1314 made a strange dodge and emitted three white lights at the same time.
The difference from the white light emitted in the past is that these three lights are particularly bright.
What Qu Jianlei asked Xiaohu to attack were the self-destruction devices of the three concealment arrays.
The area covered by the concealment array is too large. Even if all three sets of devices are detonated, it is impossible to blow up the opponent's secret camp.
The opponent had at least seventy or eighty people hidden in the hiding formation, as well as at least one military-standard warship - it should be battalion level.
Therefore, the first wave of attacks should create chaos first. It would be great if the three sets of concealment arrays can burst out from the fire.
The three white lights attacked with all their strength, which also showed his determination.
However, Bai Mang did focus on the target, but after a wave of fluctuations, the concealment array actually did not move at all!
"I knew it..." Qu Jianlei muttered secretly.
If there is no explanation from these three places, the other party will be overwhelmed and set up a self-destruction device in the main camp?
But at the same time, he also understood something he didn't understand, "So this is how it... automatically triggers the defensive formation?"
He has been studying the alliance's concealment formation and learned some things, but he is also a little strange about some of the superfluous changes.
Now he finally understood that those weird parts were actually the interfaces for other formations.
The alliance's concealment formation is not only concealment, but can also be connected to other formations!
Like this defensive formation, after being activated instantly, it steadily blocked Bai Mang's attack.
This is a very amazing change. Others may not see its value, but Qu Jianlei really understands it.
"I have some ideas, but these are...not enough! Xiaohu, continue the attack!"
