Time is like an arrow.
In a blink of an eye, 150 years have passed.
In the quiet and vast space, Feitian reached the edge of this ribbon of light.
The second arm finally arrived.
After releasing the sleep state.
Feitian, in the bridge control hall.
"The density of stars on this spiral arm is at least 30% greater than what scientists have estimated. The average spacing of stars in many regions is only 1 to 2 light years. There are even a lot of double-star systems and Samsung systems ... The arm, far more lively than the third arm, belongs to the 'prosperous zone' of the Milky Way. "
Said the federal scientist on the screen.
More than 750 years have passed, and a federation of more advanced ultra-long-range quantum communication technology has been achieved. Through the communication device on the Feitian with only 100 photons in the state of quantum entanglement, high-definition video with the Feitian has been realized. Dialogue, the delay is less than 2 seconds ... The rapid progress of federal communications technology has made Yunxing River feel terrified.
Naturally, Feitian also sent some photos of the second spiral arm to the Star Exploration Agency.
So there was a conversation with the scientist of the Bureau of Detection.
In addition, Yunxing River also asked about the current development of the Federation.
"The Federation is now very powerful, with 1076 livable galaxies and a population of more than 10 trillion people. With the help of the pumice stone element, the Federation has achieved two technological explosions, and the help of the three-eyed people is even greater. Finishing technology allows the Federation to easily use the resources inside Stellar ... This is the contribution made by the Feitian. Now the Federation, the Feitian is a household name ... The selfless dedication of the seniors is admirable and admirable! "
The scientist on the screen looked upright and respectful.
"How is Planet Pandora now? Was it completely destroyed?" Yunxinghe asked a question he most wanted to know the answer.
"No, with the help of the three-eyed man, scientists have developed an atomic penetrating network that has mined most of the remaining pumice stones, but the planet Pandora has become a very ordinary planet. Partly left their home planet and are contributing to the cause of the Federation ... Captain Cloud, the Federation is not a short-sighted private interest group, and the Federation will never fish out. "
"That's good."
Yun Xinghe nodded, the wisdom of the federal government is trustworthy, and the scene described by the grandfather, fortunately, did not appear.
"The development of technology will always bring us an additional choice. We don't have to expose the ugly side completely. Eventually the goal is achieved, and the moral bottom line is also taken care of. It can be called both." The grandfather in his mind lamented.
"Captain, the galaxy in front is almost here, and we can finally supply supplies and fuel." After passing through the Oort Nebula, Lan Xiulong pointed to the orange star road ahead.
"Great! I'm almost vomiting the nutritious meals produced by the printer! I want to eat native steaks, I want to eat fruits and vegetables!"
Sukaru waved his arms and cheered.
Today, the remaining fuel and materials of Feitian are almost empty, and even to slow down, a considerable part of the living materials on the spacecraft are all thrown into the reactor and medium cabin, including 800 tons of water, 200 tons of ore elements, and some are not very useful. Tools and weapons ammunition.
The agricultural cabin has stopped working for a long time, the meat growing pond no longer produces meat, and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are no longer available. The monotonous and tasteless printing of food has made the crew fade out the birds and complained at the meal.
Only the three-eyed person who can survive without just eating something can express good condition.
However, the crew of Feitian was still very excited to think that they could enter the star system in front of them immediately and supplement the much-needed supplies.
"Strange, this star system is a bit strange."
After launching the past detection device first, and sending back some data pictures, Zhinao Xiaokong found something was wrong.
"What happened to Xiaokong?" Yun Xinghe asked.
"This galaxy is not an unmanned galaxy, there is life in it." Xiaokong said.
"I don't see any signs of life. The planets in this galaxy are extremely desolate and there are no creatures." After looking at the pictures on the projection screen, Yunxinghe said.
"Xiaokong enlarges the picture for you to see. Look at Planet 4, what's on its surface?" Xiaokong zoomed in on one of the pictures and circled an area to him.
Yun Xinghe's eyes moved closer, and he was immediately taken aback.
Hole, dense hole.
The quantity is too numerous to count, like the microscopic appearance of a piece of activated carbon, filled with countless irregular holes.
"Xiaokong, what's the matter with these holes?" Lan Xiulong beside him was also surprised, and asked Xiaokong Road.
"I don't know, there is no record of such holes in Xiaokong's database."
"Hey, how do I look like a kind of creature's lair? That's right! I remembered that I had played a game before, which contained a Zerg planet with dense holes on the surface."
The weapon officer Gu Fan said, he felt a little familiar.
"Zerg? Is this impossible? Scientists have explained that those who can survive without oxygen, are not afraid of the vacuum of more than two hundred degrees below zero, nor are they afraid of the burning of cosmic rays and sunlight, and can rely on their own biological energy to move freely in space. The creature is unlikely to exist at all ... if it does, it will not be a Zerg, it must be an interstellar monster with a fusion reactor in its body. "Sugaru said.
"Whether it is a Zerg or not, these holes on Planet 4 were never formed under natural conditions. Under these holes, there must be something unknown."
"Be careful, increase your observation of this planet."
Yun Xinghe said.
"Yes, Captain!"
...
half year later.
The Feitian, whose speed drops to 0.01C, is only about 10 astronomical units away from its destination, the No. 5 gaseous planet with a diameter of 30,000 kilometers.
Feitian's replenishment plan is: first go to Planet 5 to replenish the hydrogen element used as fuel or acceleration medium, and then find a heavy element planet, or grab a few meteorites directly in the asteroid belt to replenish the heavy elements on the spacecraft.
However, in this stellar system, whether it is an asteroid belt or No. 5 gaseous planet, it is very close to the orbit of Planet No. 4 by coincidence, and it is not particularly far away.
Only 1.5 astronomical units are available at this time.
So two days later, when he was about to reach the gaseous planet No. 5, the on-duty observer on the Feitian saw a shocking scene.
"insect!"
"The countless bugs flew towards us!"
Du Xiaofan yelled and quickly reported the situation.
"insect?"
Yun Xinghe was taken aback, quickly let Zhinao Xiaokong, opened the ultra-high-definition telescope, and really saw countless black dots, spurting densely from the nest on the surface of planet No. 4, countless insects, The tail dragged the blue flame, about the size of a space fighter, and its shape was strange, some like locusts, some like beetles, and some like forearms growing into two large knife mantises.
"Zerg, are there really Zerg?" Sugaru opened his eyes and was refreshed three times.
"Captain, the number of worm-like creatures ejected is predicted to exceed 20 billion, and the speed will exceed 3 million kilometers per hour. It is expected to arrive after 80 hours." Zhinao Xiaokong said.
"So fast? Before the arrival of these insects, can the Feitian complete the fuel supply?"
Yun Xinghe asked, the speed of these insects is not very fast, Feitian can easily get rid of them, but now Feitian's fuel reserve has almost dropped to the limit, it is impossible to accelerate and decelerate at will ~ EbookFREE.me ~ must be priority Complete the supply of materials.
"Yes, but after the replenishment is completed, the spacecraft will be caught up by some insects and produce certain contact, so to ensure absolute safety, it is recommended to take a certain delay to intercept." Xiao Kongdao.
"What are the offensive weapons currently available for spacecraft?"
"There are three extra large water drops."
"Drop all the water drops and intercept those Zergs!" Yunxing River made a decisive decision and ordered the release of all the water drops.
"Yes, Captain!"
This instruction made the three-eyed people cheer collectively: "Water droplets, our water droplets finally come in handy! Go ahead and crush them, three-eyed people's baby!"
The crew in the control room also gathered together, staring at the screen, looking at the three giant water droplets that released the spaceship, and their eyes were full of anticipation.
Water droplets vs Zerg.
A war is about to begin!
