Chapter 180 Zerg: Lively Welcome
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, 150 years have passed.
In the quiet and vast space, the Flying arrived at the edge of this ribbon of light.
The second spiral arm finally arrived.
After the sleep state is released.
Feitian, in the bridge control hall.
"The density of stars on this spiral arm is at least 30% larger than scientists estimate. The average distance between stars in many areas is only 1 to 2 light years, and there are even many binary and three-star systems... This spiral arm is much more lively than the third spiral arm, and it belongs to the 'busy area' of the Milky Way."
Federal scientists on the screen.
More than 750 years have passed. The Federation, which has broken through more advanced ultra-long-range quantum communication technology, actually achieved high-definition video dialogue with Feitian through the communication device on Feitian, which only had 100 photons left in the state of quantum entanglement, with a delay of less than 2 seconds... The rapid progress of federal communication technology shocked Yun Xinghe.
Naturally, Feitian also sent some photos of the second spiral arm taken to the Starry Sky Exploration Bureau.
So there was a conversation with the scientist of the Exploration Bureau.
In addition, Yun Xinghe also asked about the current development of the Federation.
"The Federation is now very powerful, with 1,076 livable galaxies and more than ten trillion people. With the help of floating stone elements, the Federation has achieved two technological explosions. The Three-Eyed Man has brought greater help. Their finishing technology allows the Federation to easily utilize the resources inside the stars... These are all contributions made by Feitian. Now the Federation, Feitian is well-known... The selfless dedication of the predecessors is admirable and respectful!"
The scientist on the screen said with a respectful look on his face.
"How is the planet Pandora now? Was it completely destroyed?" Yun Xinghe asked a question he wanted to know the answer most.
"No, with the help of the Three-Eyed Man, scientists developed an atomic infiltration network and mined most of the remaining floating stones. However, the planet Pandora has become a very ordinary planet. Most of the Lanwei people have left their home planet and are contributing to the various causes of the Federation... Captain Yun, the Federation is not a short-sighted private interest group, and the Federation never fishes out."
"That's good."
Yun Xinghe nodded. The wisdom of the federal government is trustworthy. Fortunately, the scene described by the old man did not appear.
"The development of technology will always bring us an extra choice, and we don't have to completely expose our ugly side. The ultimate goal is achieved and the moral bottom line is taken care of, which is both true." The old man in his mind sighed.
"Captain, the galaxy in front is about to arrive, and we can finally replenish supplies and fuel." After passing through the Alt Nebula, Lan Xiulong pointed to the orange star path ahead.
"That's great! I'm almost vomiting when I eat nutritious meals produced by the printer! I want to eat native steak, I want to eat fruits and vegetables!"
Sukaru cheered with his arms waving.
Now there is not much fuel and materials left on the Feitian. In order to slow down, a considerable number of daily necessities on the spacecraft have been thrown into the reactor and medium compartment, including 800 tons of water, 200 tons of ore elements, as well as some less useful tools, weapons and ammunition.
The agricultural cabin has long stopped working, the meat growth pool no longer produces meat, and the variety of fruits and vegetables is no longer available. The monotonous and tasteless printed food has made the crew members fade away and complain when it comes to mealtime.
Only a three-eyed person who does not eat and can survive by charging and charging means that he is in good condition.
But the crew of the Flying crew was still very excited to think that they could enter the star system in front immediately and replenish all kinds of supplies they were urgently needed.
"Strange, this star system is a bit strange."
After launching past detection devices first and sending back some data pictures, the smart brain Xiaokong found something was wrong.
"What's wrong with Xiaokong?" Yun Xinghe asked.
"This galaxy is not an unmanned galaxy, there is life inside it." Xiaokong said.
"I have not seen any signs of life. The planets in this star system are extremely desolate and there is no creature." Yun Xinghe said after looking at several pictures in the projection screen.
"Xiaokong enlarges the picture to you to see, and see what is the surface of Planet No. 4?" Xiaokong enlarged one of the pictures and circled a region and said to him.
Yun Xinghe's eyes approached and he was immediately surprised.
Holes, dense holes.
The number is numerous, like the microscopic appearance of an activated carbon, filled with countless irregular holes.
"Xiaokong, what's going on with these holes?" Lan Xiulong, who was standing beside him, was also surprised and asked Xiaokong.
"I don't know, there is no record of such holes in Xiaokong's database."
"Hey, why do I look a bit like a nest of some kind of creature? By the way! I remembered that I used to play a game where there was a Zerg planet, and the surface was densely packed with holes."
Weapon Gu Fan said, he felt a little familiar.
"Zerg? Is this impossible? Scientists have explained that those creatures that can survive without oxygen, are not afraid of vacuums of more than 200 degrees below zero, are not afraid of cosmic rays and sunlight burning, and are also able to rely on their own organisms to move freely in space, which is unlikely to exist... If there is, it will not be Zerg, it must be an interstellar beast with a fusion reactor in its body." Sugaru said.
"No matter whether it is Zerg or not, these holes on Planet 4 are definitely not formed under natural conditions. There must be something unknown below these holes."
"Be careful and increase your observation of this planet."
Yun Xinghe said.
"Yes, Captain!"
...
Half a year later.
The Feitian, whose speed dropped to 0.01c, is only about 10 astronomical units away from the destination, the No. 5 gas planet with a diameter of 30,000 kilometers.
The supply plan for Feitian is: first go to Planet 5 to replenish the hydrogen element used as fuel or acceleration medium, then find a heavy element planet, or directly grab a few meteorites in the asteroid belt to replenish the heavy elements on the spacecraft.
However, in this star system, whether it is the asteroid belt or the gas planet of No. 5, it is very coincidental to the orbit of the planet of No. 4, and is not particularly far away.
At this time, there are only less than 1.5 astronomical units.
So two days later, when we were about to arrive at the gas planet No. 5, the observers on duty on Feitian saw a shocking scene.
"insect!"
"The bugs that cannot be counted are flying towards us!"
Du Xiaopang screamed and quickly reported the situation.
"insect?"
Yun Xinghe was surprised and quickly let the intelligent brain Xiaokong open the ultra-high definition telescope. Sure enough, he saw countless small black dots that were emitting densely from the nests on the surface of Planet No. 4. Countless insects and creatures, with their tails dragging blue flames, were about the same size as a space fighter, and had strange shapes, some looked like locusts, some looked like beetles, and some grew into two big swords and mantis monsters like forearms.
"Zerg, are there really Zerg?" Sugaru opened his eyes wide and his three views were refreshed.
"Captain, the number of insect creatures emitted is expected to exceed 20 billion, with a speed of more than 3 million kilometers per hour, and is expected to arrive in 80 hours." The smart brain Xiaokun said.
"So quickly? Can the Flying complete fuel supply before these insect creatures arrive?"
Yun Xinghe asked, the speed of these insect creatures is actually not very fast, and Feitian can easily get rid of them, but now Feitian's fuel reserves have almost dropped to the limit, and it is impossible to accelerate and decelerate at will. Material replenishment must be given priority.
"Yes, but after the supply is over, the spacecraft will be caught up by some insect creatures and cause certain contact. Therefore, to ensure absolute safety, it is recommended to adopt a certain amount of hysteresis interception." Xiaokun said.
"What are the offensive weapons available to the spacecraft at present?"
"There are three super large drops."
"Drive all the water droplets and intercept those Zergs!" Yun Xinghe made a quick decision and ordered the release of all the water droplets.
"Yes, Captain!"
This instruction made the three-eyed man cheer together: "Water drops, our water drops finally come in handy! Go and crush them, the three-eyed man's baby!"
The crew members in the control hall also gathered together, staring at the screen, and looking at the three giant water droplets that released the spaceship, their eyes full of anticipation.
Water drop vs Zerg.
