I am a great scientist

Chapter 578 Strange Planet

The body of the Xuanwu Fleet shrank, and they collectively entered a defensive state. At the same time, they avoided unknown attacks as a whole.

However, the silver light beam came too suddenly, with an extremely wide range. Caught off guard, more than a dozen Xuanwu warships failed to avoid it, and bombarded the huge body of the Xuanwu warship firmly.

The defensive energy shield on the surface of the Xuanwu battleship shook for a while, and shattered in response to the sound. It was shot straight by the silver beam, and fell into a state of stagnation in an instant.

Soon, the silver-white substance spread on the Xuanwu battleship, and the speed became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it spread to most of the battleship's body. Performance drops drastically.

"Commander, the battleship has been invaded by alien energy, and its overall performance has declined rapidly!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu and urgently reported.

"Alien energy? What kind of energy? Is there a way to eliminate it?" Zhou Yu asked Zhou Xiaozhi anxiously after his expression changed.

"Commander, heterogeneous energy is a special kind of magneton. After they invade the hull, they have huge infectious power and incredible magnetic assimilation power. They can cause a lot of damage to our spaceship. In a short period of time, they cannot be analyzed. The specific elements that produce energy, but our spaceship still has biological elements, and they cannot cause fatal damage to us, Xiaozhi is now comprehensively analyzing this abnormal energy and starting to eliminate and clean it up." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yu, Report in detail.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered: "Is the opponent still attacking? Fleet, pay attention to dodging!"

"Commander! No other attacks have been found yet, and the trajectories of unknown attacks have been calculated. They are 1.7 kilometers away from us. The speed of this alien energy is lower than the speed of light. At the current distance, the dodge rate is as high as: 97.2%." Zhou Xiaozhi Looking at Zhou Yu, Hui reported.

After listening to Zhou Xiaozhi's report, Zhou Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and walked quickly to the command room.

In the flagship command room, after the siren sounded, the staff had already taken their positions and quickly entered a tense fighting state.

The attack came too suddenly, but the size of the Xuanwu Fleet was too small. After the attack was discovered, it was difficult for such a long-distance attack to achieve the attack effect.

The vast universe and the ultra-long distance span cannot be spanned by any energy weapon in a short time.

In large-scale interstellar battles, the warships participating in the combat often reach a huge scale. The two combatants can lock the approximate range of the opponent's fleet in advance, launch beyond-the-horizon attack weapons, and cover the attack range to achieve the goal of destroying the opponent's power. With large-scale crushing, the fruits of victory are finally collected.

However, the Xuanwu Fleet only has 100 warships. After detecting the attack trajectory, relying on Zhou Xiaozhi's huge computing power, it is easy to find gaps in this kind of beyond-visual-range coverage attack. Now, the fleet only needs to be careful not to be approached by the enemy. , or surrounded by the enemy, it is already standing in an invincible position.

"What kind of civilization is the opponent? Quickly analyze the strength gap between the two sides." Zhou Yu looked at the podium and quickly issued an order.

Suffering from an unknown attack suddenly, what Zhou Yu worries most is that he is afraid of meeting a super civilization, because he deeply understands that all schemes are ineffective in the face of strength, and he only prays that he will not encounter an opponent that is too powerful.

"Commander, the source of the attack is from this planet! The opponent's fleet has not been discovered yet, and the opponent's strength cannot be assessed." An operator watched Zhou Yu and quickly reported.

As soon as the operator's voice fell, the command screen changed, and a silver planet was revealed.

The huge planetary body is 2.8 times that of the earth, and its whole body is bright silver. Under the illumination of the stars, it shines brightly, and its brightness reaches the intensity of -3 stars.

Looking at this planet, Zhou Yu's eyes were a little blank, "The alien energy is emitted from this planet, not from the fleet?"

"Yes, Commander, the attack is from this planet!" The operator nodded in confirmation.

"Have you monitored the comprehensive information of this planet? Have you discovered intelligent biological civilization?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked in puzzlement.

"Commander, the structure of this planet is very peculiar. Their surface temperature is very low. The entire planet is surrounded by an atmosphere with a thickness of [-] kilometers. Therefore, gases such as hydrogen and helium will become liquid. Due to the increase in density, these Liquid matter will pass through the dense atmosphere, fall to the ground, and then be re-formed into gas by the temperature inside the planet, and then begin to float to the outer layer of the planet. In this way, a unique atmosphere is formed inside the planet. Circulatory system, no extraterrestrial life has been found yet." The technician looked at Zhou Yu and introduced.

"Is there no intelligent biological civilization? What kind of attack is that on us? Could it be an accident?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked puzzledly.

"Commander, the planet's climate and environment are too harsh. Unless we release an unmanned scout ship for close observation, we will not be able to obtain detailed information about the planet." The technician looked at Zhou Yu and replied: "Commander, we have to continue to approach This planet?"

On the command console, everyone looked at Zhou Yu, waiting for his next order.

This unknown attack came from this planet. In the absence of intelligent biological civilization, it may be the energy overflowed by an accidental explosion of the planet, or it may be a temptation for them by a potential civilization, or it may be a trap..., yes To investigate further, or to retreat here to avoid trouble, Zhou Yu frowned, unable to determine an answer for a while.

"Has the abnormal energy result been analyzed?" Zhou Yu looked at the data analysis team and asked.

"Commander, the heterogeneous energy has been analyzed. It is a kind of magnetic particle energy, which can easily invade our spaceship and cause the metal element to become unbalanced. This attack looks more like an accident than an intentional attack. .” The leader of the monitoring data analysis team replied immediately.

"Well! How's the situation with the damaged Xuanwu ship? Xiaozhi!" Zhou Yu asked Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Commander, most of the alien energy has been repelled. However, due to the assimilation of its elements, it cannot be eliminated in the short term. The outer layer of the fourteen basaltic hulls has peeled off. Now it is being repaired urgently. It is estimated that the overall repair work will be completed in twelve days. .” Zhou Xiaozhi reported in detail.

"Twelve days!" Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, looked at everyone, and arranged one by one: "Immediately dispatch the unmanned reconnaissance ship, I want to obtain all the data of this planet, especially the method of this unknown attack. Group, you immediately start the research on the energy of the opposite sex, it poses a fatal threat to us, but it is also a good weapon."

"Obey, Commander!" Everyone responded in unison and took action one after another.

As Zhou Yu said, this heterogeneous energy is too threatening to living mechanical organisms, and it can affect metal elements alone. If this energy is larger, it will have a fatal blow to them. The same , it is also a deadly interstellar weapon against mechanical civilization.

Soon, a 'Xuanwu' warship broke away from the fleet and rushed towards the position of the planet.

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone watched the basalt ship approaching the target on the command screen intently, and the worrying attack did not happen again.

Soon, after the Xuanxuan battleship reached the planet several million kilometers away, the huge hatch at the bottom opened, releasing a large number of scout ships, which swarmed towards the planet ahead.

In the flagship command room, everyone stopped what they were doing and collectively paid attention to the reconnaissance images sent back by the reconnaissance ships ahead.

Soon, the scout fleet entered the interior of the planet at high speed, plunged into the thick atmosphere.

In the flagship command room, the big command screen immediately went dark.

The appearance of the planet's ground surface was shown. The thick gas had cut off a lot of external light, and it became a world of white ice flowers, violent airflow and countless lightning.

Entering the interior of the planet, the temperature is getting colder and colder. It is about [-] meters below the dividing line. When the scouting fleet enters the dividing line, a world of bright silver ice crystals appears in everyone's field of vision. The river flows slowly.

Everyone couldn't help squinting their eyes, afraid of being blinded by the endless silver light.

With a bang, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating a space of hundreds of kilometers in radius. Immediately afterwards, an electric snake flashed across the sky, as if welcoming these uninvited visitors from the alien planet, frantically driving all the scouting ships to gather together Come.

"Commander, the temperature on this planet is too low for life to exist!"

"Most of the rivers on this planet are liquid nitrogen. How can there be intelligent civilization?"

"..."

After seeing the planet's topography and environment, Professor Smith and Professor Yang Yi heaved a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.

"Really? Then comes the question, what happened to the alien energy that attacked us, didn't it come from this planet?" Zhou Yu frowned slightly, looking at everyone and asked back.

Hearing this, everyone was talking for a while, yes!If this is what happened to that kind of alien energy, they are very targeted, and they are by no means an accidental product.

Suddenly a voice said: "Commander, could there be an analysis error, this energy brushed past this planet, and then accidentally hit us?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help being startled. Being discovered by a more powerful civilization was like dying. Everyone felt a sense of crisis.
"It's possible, but in this way, how far is the range of this energy? 5 million kilometers? 10 billion kilometers?" Professor Smith frowned and asked in puzzlement.

"If we passed by, then our perception of this star cluster is wrong! There is intelligent biological civilization in this star cluster!"

"They have spotted us a long time ago, and this attack is a warning?"

"Impossible, we are so small, what kind of detection technology can detect us at such a long distance?"

"..."

As soon as Professor Smith finished speaking, there was an immediate commotion at the scene. Everyone started guessing at each other, looking more and more uneasy.

"That's enough, don't talk about it, let's discuss it after the monitoring results of the scout ship!" Zhou Yu scolded everyone, then turned to look at Zhou Xiaozhi, and ordered: "Xiaozhi, re-analyze the orbit of the alien energy, and verify its true energy. The source of the launch."

"Obey, Commander!" Zhou Xiaozhi obeyed, let go of his computing power, and tried his best to calculate.

The professors looked at each other and stopped discussing. They got busy and investigated more seriously.

"Hydrogen... Helium, and iron, silicon... There are a lot of elements in this one, but unfortunately, the climate is too harsh to develop it!"

"Wow, this planet has high-purity star crystal compounds. This crystal is the best catalyst for infinite value-added biomechanical structures. This place must be developed!"

"Impossible, we are on our way, we must pass through this star cluster as soon as possible, and send a signal to contact the exploration ship."

"We missed a great development opportunity! However, the location of this planet must be recorded. With this resource star, the upgrade of the fifth-generation basalt ship is just around the corner!"

……

Following Zhou Yu's order, everyone carefully analyzed the findings from the scouting fleet, and stared closely at the monitoring screens from the scouting ships on the large command screen, discussing the planet's resource reserves, environment and climate. .

As time goes by, the detection ships scattered throughout the planet will carry out a carpet-like search and monitoring of the planet, draw maps, send down prospecting robots and collection robots, and conduct a comprehensive survey of this icy galaxy .

"Hey, look at that rift in the earth, the detector can't detect the depth, and the temperature of its internal space has undergone a huge change." An operator who was staring at the monitoring screen suddenly warned loudly.

"Really? It's that picture, call it out quickly."

"The temperature has risen, where is it?"

……

Hearing this, the professors were taken aback, and asked questions in a swarm, and started asking questions almost at the same time.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but follow his gaze. The increase in temperature means the possibility of life. Although this planet is very cold, there are many elements necessary for life-water (ice), oxygen,...

.

If there is an independent space with a suitable temperature, then intelligent life is likely to exist on this planet.

Seeing this, the operator quickly transferred the monitor to the large command screen, and suddenly a deep rift appeared, as if the entire planet was about to be cut into two halves. The entire rift stretched for thousands of kilometers. Far from seeing the edge.

If it weren't for the icebergs covering both sides, the black line of the earth's rift would be very clear. In this dim planet, it would be difficult to find the existence of this earth's rift.

"What are the details of the rift? Can't the detector get its depth data?" Zhou Yu looked at the operator and asked impatiently.

"Commander, the total length of the crack is 2279.7 kilometers. The highest internal temperature has been monitored: 2381 degrees Celsius. The deepest depth still cannot be checked out. The underground detection robot army has been dispatched to conduct a comprehensive survey!" The operator reported to Zhou Yuhui.
