Tony thought about it again and again, he gave up driving the mecha and chose the exoskeleton light armor with communication functions.

There are several reasons to give up the mecha. First, Tony does not have a fighting mecha, and the engineering mecha is not equipped with melee weapons. In addition, Tony and others are not good at driving mechas, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. It is better to wear light armor for close combat. Secondly, if the engine compartment is in danger, driving a bulky engineering mecha is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing; in addition, the peripheral structure of the cockpit is kept intact, and the interior cannot be in a vacuum state.

However, the biggest threat to the human body entering the engine compartment is low temperature. Although the universe has not reached absolute low temperature, its temperature is terrifying, reaching minus 270.15 degrees Celsius, and the gap between minus 273.15 degrees Celsius is almost negligible. Of course, from the rigorous scientific nature, this almost negligible temperature proves that the universe also has temperature.

On the surface of the planet, humans are considering how to reduce the temperature and maintain the quality of objects. In fact, in the vast universe, keeping the objects in temperature is a more important research topic. Any equipment or food must undergo the test of extreme cold before it can be put into practical applications.

...

Although Tony is not a mecha fighter, he has rich experience in aerospace. He understands that although the cold is terrible, it is not as fatal as a vacuum.

After arriving at the No. 3 secondary engine, Tony attached a special instrument to the steel gate of the engine compartment and connected it to the main control optical brain, and obtained the indoor temperature data of the engine compartment through the main control optical brain.

Seventeen degrees below zero!

This is the data feedback from the main control optical brain. This data proves the fact that the No. 3 secondary engine is in a dormant state, because, theoretically speaking, if the engine is in a completely shutdown state, then its temperature cannot be maintained at minus 17 degrees. Only the engine in the dormant state will emit a certain temperature, and minus 17 degrees is exactly the temperature that may be maintained in a dormant state.

This news excited everyone. The temperature of minus 17 degrees Celsius will not cause harm to the human body in a short period of time.

Due to unknown reasons, the main control optical brain did not have a connection with the engine compartment, and the hatch door could not be controlled to open. Tony used the special tool he brought to pry open the hatch door, opened the hatch door a gap of about one meter wide, and then used the tool to plug the master to avoid accidental closing.

So dark!

Tony arranged two people to wait at the steel gate to meet, and sneaked into the engine compartment with three other guards. At this time, there was a shortage of people around Prince Michael, so Captain Tony had to go on the battle himself...

The No. 3 secondary engine is not a warp-level main engine, but an ordinary impulse engine. Its main function is to change the navigation direction and perform auxiliary acceleration in the early stage of space jumping. It is not large in individual form. The engine compartment is less than 200 square meters, and the height is only about fifteen meters. The engine occupies less than one-third of the entire space.

Tony remembered the layout of the engine compartment when he was in the main control room. After entering the cabin door, a wide circular bridge surrounded the core position of the impulse engine.

The pressure in the engine compartment has stabilized, but a biting cold makes people unable to help but fight a cold war.

"Everyone be careful... Huh, what is it?" In the darkness, Tony walked out first and took a few steps, and suddenly felt something kicking under his feet.

Because it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. The lights shot out from the helmets on people's heads could not see clearly in the darkness, Tony squatted down.

"Interstellar brigade army ant... retreat!"

Tony, who squatted down, shone the light on his head on the ground. He just now kicked a pile of unknown black substances. The black substance turned dark and cold under the light. Tony suddenly felt a chill in his back. He was too familiar with this luster. He shouted loudly and his body retreated rapidly. At the same time, the other three guards also retreated to the steel gate as soon as possible.

With a "bang", as soon as Tony's body retreated, the two guards outside worked together to remove the tool that stuck the door, and the thick steel gate closed heavily.

"Captain, are they really Star brigade military ant?" A guard looked shocked. The battle with Star brigade military ants along the way had made him look like a frightened bird.

"Yes, absolutely!" Tony said with a positive look.

"Why didn't you chase us?" another soldier asked without having time to see clearly.

"I don't know." Tony shook his head with a serious look on his face.

"Captain Tony, how is the situation?" The communication system inside the headset sounded Dr. Wayne's voice. Obviously, the holographic image monitoring system in the main control room was paying close attention to them.

"There are interstellar brigade army ants inside." Tony said.

"Are you sure?"

"It's not wrong, and it's a living interstellar brigade military ant with a shiny exoskeleton." Tony was very sure that he had rich experience in identifying his battle with interstellar brigade military ants during this period.

"Why didn't you chase you?" Dr. Wayne's voice was full of doubt.

"I don't know, Doctor."

"Well, Captain Tony, there are two options now. First, retreat immediately. Let's go back to the Royal 1 barge and leave here; second, you risk entering and see what happened, but it is necessary to tell you that risking entry is quite risky for you six, because if you are sure that the interstellar brigade army ants will spread attacks, we will retreat to Royal 1 as soon as possible, and you may not have enough time to get on the ship."

Captain Tony glanced at the other five people and was silent.

"Doctor, let's enter." Captain Tony nodded to the other five, and the other five nodded to Captain Tony at the same time and made a decision.

"Okay! Your courage is worthy of reward. You are the honor of the Michael Empire... According to previous information, the interstellar brigade army ants are likely to be dormant. Try to be careful not to alarm the interstellar brigade army ants. If there is any abnormal movement, be sure to be safe as the top priority and retreat as soon as possible. Even if we evacuate to Royal 1, we will respond at any time. Remember to turn on the holographic lens of the light armor helmet..."

"Oh, by the way, after entering the cabin door, turn right five meters, there is a manual switch that can turn on the lights in the engine compartment. Good luck, Captain Tony Guard!"

After finishing the communication with Dr. Wayne, the six people were still divided into two groups, two guarding the cabin door and four people entered.

After carefully prying open the hatch door with a special tool, he briefly observed the door. Seeing that there was no abnormal movement, Tony followed Dr. Wayne's instructions and entered first, turned right along the metal wall to touch the manual switch, and turned on the light.

The lights were on one after another. At that moment, people's eyesight was affected and they felt like they could not see anything in the white space. However, Tony and the others were all well-trained soldiers and quickly adapted.

"ah……"

The four people who had recovered their vision made a depressing and shocking sound almost at the same time. Looking around, the entire engine compartment was covered with black interstellar brigade army ants. The interstellar brigade army ants seemed to be dormant, and they showed various postures and were closely attached to the bulkheads and engines. Especially the engine, they were densely covered with thick layers, layer by layer, shocking. The light shone on the interstellar brigade army ants' bright dark body, reflecting a thrilling cold light, which made people shudder.

"It turns out that it's dormant, Tony, check it and confirm the interstellar brigade military ant state."

"Okay, Doctor."

Tony squatted down and moved carefully among the mountains of interstellar brigade military ants. He did not dare to use his weapons to hit the interstellar brigade military ants, but instead used his hands to test the interstellar brigade military ants' reaction to light.

"It's dormant, Doctor..."

"Captain!" Before Tony could finish his words, suddenly, the guard behind him made a terrified voice.

"Screaming something...ah..."

Tony turned around and gasped. The interstellar brigade army ants near the hatch door were slowly squirming. Tony felt his hands and feet were cold. He had passed by that place just now, and he was absolutely sure that in the previous few seconds, the squirming interstellar brigade army ants were still dormant.

"Run, Tony!" Dr. Wayne's voice sounded from the headset.

"retreat!"

Tony, who reacted, suddenly shouted loudly, and did not care about stepping on the interstellar brigade army ant on the ground, and ran towards the cabin door.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

...

A dense sound of impact sounded, and black shadows like black lightning shot out of the hatch door...

Looking at the interstellar brigade army ants surging out like a tide on the holographic screen, chasing Tony and the group of people reluctantly, the entire main control hall was extremely quiet, and Prince Michael looked even pale.

"Your Highness, let's go. The doors leading to Royal 1 have been opened. We have enough time to board the ship." Dr. Wayne sighed.

"Let's go." A trace of painful eyes flashed across Prince Michael's face, and he seemed to stand up with difficulty. A group of big men and several guards also looked dim, and the atmosphere seemed particularly heavy. People knew that Tony and the others had no chance of survival.

"Notify Han Xinghai that he is still in the maintenance cabin, Doctor." Jin Yue said anxiously.

"Don't worry, he has a mecha. I have issued a retreat order through the spacecraft and have optimized a holographic map to Royal 1. If nothing unexpected happens, he will arrive at Royal 1 before us to the Royal 1 barge."

"Oh...wait, look!" Jin Yue rushed to the main console and stared at the holographic screen with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"It's the Korean Star Sea, it's the Korean Star Sea's mecha!" Prince Michael actually cheered, and it was obvious that the round hammer had appeared in the passage outside the No. 3 auxiliary engine, and the speed was very fast. The body of the armor with a metallic luster floated like a wisp of smoke in the passage, which was horrifying.

Not only Prince Michael, but also a group of guards and the big men cheered.

"Let's go, Your Highness." Dr. Wayne urged without any surprise expression on his face.

"Han Xinghai can save them!" Prince Michael said with an excited look on his face.

"Your Highness, he is just a man, a mecha. The interstellar brigade military ants that had just flocked out have surpassed a hundred. It is impossible for him to kill so many interstellar brigade military ants. When he goes, the number of awakened interstellar brigade military ants is still increasing."

"Ah... Let's go." Prince Michael, who was poured with cold water, was suddenly awake and said with a look of frustration.

"Let's go. Miss Li!"

"No!" Jin Yue looked determined, and then a gust of wind rushed to the sharp teeth: "Give me the button!"

"Ah..." Little teeth were startled.

"Give me the button, I know you have it!" Jin Yue suddenly pulled her sharp-toothed chest as if she was crazy, shouting hysterically, and her eyes almost spewed out flames.

"I'll give you to you..." Li Chi quickly took out a space button from his pocket. These buttons were all forced from Royal No. 1 in order to maintain his strength advantage with Prince Michael.

In the stunned everyone, Xiyue summoned a clumsy engineering mecha, entered the cockpit, and ran out. Maybe she was not very familiar with the engineering mecha, and she staggered several times in the main control hall, almost rolling and crawling out. After walking far, she heard a faint sound of impact.

"Your Highness, it's too late!" Dr. Wayne was not moved by Jin Yue's desperate rushing out. He still looked calm. For him, no one's sacrifice is important. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of Prince Michael. As long as Prince Michael does not die, the Michael Galaxy will have a future.

"Let's wait..." A hint of hesitation appeared on Prince Michael's face.

"Your Highness!" Dr. Wayne became anxious when he saw Prince Michael's thoughts were shaken.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

...

The man carrying an iron rod suddenly ran wildly in the direction of the disappearance of the moon...

Tony and several guards were almost knocked out of the No. 3 Engine Cabin by the tide of the Star Brigade Army Ant. Without the Star Brigade Army Ants to attack Tony and the others, in fact, such a dense formation, not only Tony and the others could not stabilize their bodies, but also the Star Brigade Army Ants could not attack specific targets. Moreover, they seemed to be impatient to come out of the Engine Cabin and had no time to worry about Tony and the others.

Fortunately, the interstellar brigade army ants have just woken up. Although the density of the interstellar brigade army ants is very large, the impact is average. Moreover, the awakened interstellar brigade army ants are in a chaotic state and have not caused any harm to Tony and the body. If they were hit hard by the interstellar brigade army ants with a targeted violent impact, Tony and the others still have their lives and will have been penetrated.

While the four people were held hostage and swarmed out by the tide of the interstellar brigade army ants, the two guards waiting at the door were stunned for a moment, and the swarming interstellar brigade army ants had already brought them to the ground.

"Escape!"

As soon as the two of them fell to the ground, Tony and the other four rushed out, pulling up the guards on the ground at the same time with a few hands.

"Captain, the hatch door is not closed..."
To be continued...
