Chapter 322 Water Drop Capture Contest
"Xiaokong, is there a way to crack this droplet?"

"Water droplets are controlled by quantum communication. At present, its control program cannot be cracked, but... I have found a way to deal with water droplets." Xiaokong said.

"any solution?"

"The attack method of water droplets is collision. If the tail engine of Feitian is covered with force field alloy and then embedded with floating balls to form a strong electromagnetic field and degravity field, the water droplets will not cause much harm to the spacecraft."

"You mean, let the Feitian directly bear the impact of the water droplets?"

Yun Xinghe shook his head, how can this work, if the number of water droplets produced by this civilization is too large, wouldn't it be very dangerous if they collide in large numbers?
"No captain, I have calculated that with the energy reserves of water droplets, it is only allowed to accelerate to the maximum speed three times at most. After three hits, the energy is almost gone. If it can come back for the fourth time, we can prepare a high-strength one. Net bag, put it on."

In the projection video, Xiaokong demonstrated the operation process and captured a large number of water droplets.

It also looks very doable.

"It's a bit like... playing space golf. The first three shots are hard, and the fourth shot can go straight into the hole." Su Jialu squeezed his chin and made a metaphor.

"From this point of view, the so-called water droplets are actually not that scary, and their weaknesses are very obvious." Lan Xiulong said.

"It's not that the weakness of the water droplet is obvious, it's that the Feitian is too perverted, no matter how fast it is, or how much its mass is, it can't damage the Feitian... The aliens in this galaxy must never be imagined anyway. In the universe, there will be things like pumice stones." Koran Mikoto smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Okay, then act according to this plan, try to cover the spaceship as tightly as possible, and don't leave fatal loopholes."

Yun Xinghe nodded and said.

After the mission was released, the crew on the Feitian became busy for the next three days, and carried out a small-scale modification to the spacecraft, mainly adding force field alloy armor plates inlaid with floating balls to some weak parts , Such as the position of the tail engine, the vent of the abdominal attitude control engine, etc. There are not many places to be modified.

Of course, the engine port at the tail cannot be completely sealed, otherwise, if the Feitian with zero maneuverability accidentally finds a loophole and breaks the turtle shell, it will not be able to escape even if it wants to.

Therefore, the tail seal has been handled very cleverly, leaving a number of injection channels. These channels can be flexibly opened and closed, and adjusted. Once activated, they can even be used as barrels to emit high-energy particle beams—of course, they are not very elegant, but Very effective against water droplets.

After the refit was completed, Feitian sped up slightly, and flew towards the mysterious civilization of the galaxy, located in the habitable zone of life, and the planet named "Planet No. 3", which is the third farthest from the star.

"Planet 3 has a diameter of about 1 kilometers, and 33% of the planet's surface is sea water, but the land is very barren, and there are no large artificial buildings."

"It stands to reason that aliens should be very likely to live on this planet, but why can't half of the aliens be seen, and there are no space facilities such as satellites and space stations around, and there is no space fleet to protect the planet. , where did the aliens go?"

"Is it all hidden underground?" Yun Qiaoqiao guessed.

"After we arrive on this planet, we'll find out by launching a radar satellite to scan it." Yun Xinghedao, these aliens seem to have been playing hide-and-seek.

Three months later.

Planet 3.

Over tens of thousands of kilometers of orbit, Feitian orbits at a constant speed.

Ten radar satellites with a scanning surface that can cover the entire planet were shot out, high-power radars were turned on, and the scanning work began.

Scan results are sent back quickly.

"After judging, there is no life on this planet, and there are no traces of complex man-made buildings on the ground. This is a barren planet." Zhinao Xiaokong reported.

"what?"

Lan Xiulong opened his eyes wide, stared at the radar scan, shook his head and said: "How is this possible, aliens are not on this planet, so maybe they are there?"

"Is it because it is deeper underground and the radar scanning depth is not enough?" Sugaru asked.

"The thickness of the planet's crust is 87 kilometers, and the radar wave can penetrate to a depth of [-] kilometers, but there is still no gain, indicating that aliens are indeed not on this planet." Zhinao explained.

"Planet No. 1! I saw a lot of things flying over Planet No. 1! Many, many small dots." Du Xiaopang suddenly yelled.

Everyone's attention was shifted to Planet 1.

"Water droplets, there are countless water droplets, flying over from Planet 1!"

After the astronomical telescope on the spacecraft zoomed in and captured this scene, someone shouted in surprise.

Aliens on Planet 1?
Yun Xinghe’s face was a little unbelievable. Planet No. 1 is less than 5000 million kilometers away from the central star. It is the closest planet to the star without any atmosphere or water. The surface temperature will drop to more than minus 300 degrees.

This kind of planet is usually called a "burnt planet", and the environment is extremely harsh. How could there be life?

"These aliens are not the carbon-based life we ​​imagined, but special life based on silicon. They can survive without water, and can develop extremely advanced technology... This is the magical universe."

The old man in his mind said suddenly.

Yun Xinghe nodded, and said loudly at random: "Be prepared to deal with the water drop attack!"

"Yes!"

The crew took their respective battle positions, and some were adjusting the force field alloy armor plate to deal with the coming impact.

Some manipulated the space net pockets, preparing to catch the water droplets in the state of space junk after the energy of the water droplets was exhausted.

two hours later.

The water droplets flying at high speed, like a torrential downpour, began to collide intensively against Feitian.

There are thousands of them.

Like large drops of water, each with eyes, along various flight paths, like a long snake, hit the shell of Feitian.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The crew inside the Feitian heard a dense bang, bang bang, not particularly strong, a bit like the sound of stones hitting an iron barrel.

Immediately, a spectacular scene appeared.

The water droplets coming at high speed, relying on their speed of 0.3 times the speed of light, came with the purpose of destroying Feitian with one blow, but what surprised all the aliens was that the water droplets did not crush the intruder, but smashed themselves. The hit rebounded and flew upside down.

The faster the impact, the faster it bounces back.

As a result, countless water droplets appeared, forming a vertically falling waterfall. With irresistible speed and thunderous momentum, when the rock at the bottom of the cliff was about to be crushed and crushed, the hardness of the rock was beyond imagination. , not only was not knocked down, but the water droplets were scattered and splashed by the collision, like water splashes.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Countless water droplets bounced back, and even collided with the water droplets rushing from behind, just like bullets to bullets, some water droplets were broken and damaged due to too high relative speed, and some water droplets were bounced to unknown places, so they had to accelerate again and try again.

Three days.

Millions of water droplets collided and attacked Feitian, which lasted for three full days.

The attack failed completely.

Some of the water droplets have withdrawn to the No. 1 planet.

Most of the water droplets completely lost power and turned into space junk floating around.

On the Feitian, eight small fishing devices flew out, each dragging a large net bag, and began to catch the water droplets scattered in the nearby star field one by one.

"Eight drops, I've caught eight!"

"I have twelve, and I got two just now."

"Haha, you don't have as many as me, I caught 22."

"I'll go! How did you all do it? I've only caught 5 of them so far. Some water droplets haven't completely lost their power. I chased the one just now for a long time."

"Grandpa, what is the use of these water droplets? What do you want me to catch these water droplets for?"

Yun Xinghe was a little puzzled, why did the grandfather tell him to collect as many water droplets as possible?
"Boy, you don't know the blessings in the blessing, and you don't know the treasure after entering the treasure house. Do you think the manufacturing technology of water droplets is easy? Do you know? The strong force material that makes up the outer shell of the water droplet, the Blue Star Federation will take another 1000 years, It can’t be synthesized either, it’s a product of the interior of the star, the scientists of the Blue Star Federation, is there a way to enter the interior of the star?”

"Collect more, these things are free now, and when you successfully deal with that civilization, you may have to pay something in order to exchange for this kind of high-tech that is widely used, and most civilizations can't make it." It's a precision device." The old man said.

"I see."

Yun Xinghe nodded, then his expression changed, and he asked very worriedly: "Grandpa, will this civilization be cheating? Mix some water droplets that can be used normally in it. If there are such water droplets mixed into Feitian, Feitian Isn't it going to be breached by this device from the inside?"

"If you can think of this, it means that your thinking has become very comprehensive, which is very good! But don't worry, the civilization you encountered is very interesting because this civilization is a typical linear thinking type. Civilization, they don't lie, they don't think in a wrong way, they don't even use some simple tricks, they always use some stupid ways to solve problems, this, when you see the shady layer, you should be able to Guess one or two."

Hearing this, Yun Xinghe opened his eyes wide, and murmured: "So it's like this..."

If it is true what the old man said, this civilization is indeed very strange.
