Chapter 351 Zerg: Lively Greeting
Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, 150 years have passed.

In the quiet and vast space, the Feitian reached the edge of this ribbon of light.

The second arm, finally here.

After coming out of sleep mode.

Feitian, in the bridge control hall.

"The density of stars on this spiral arm is at least 30% greater than scientists estimated. The average distance between stars in many areas is only 1 to 2 light-years, and there are even many binary star systems and triple star systems... this spiral arm The third arm, far more lively than the third arm, belongs to the 'prosperous zone' of the galaxy."

The federal scientist on the screen said.

More than 750 years have passed, and the Federation, which has broken through the more advanced ultra-long-range quantum communication technology, has realized a high-definition video conversation with the Feitian through the communication equipment on the Feitian with only 100 photons still in a state of quantum entanglement. Less than 2 seconds... Yun Xinghe was quite astonished by the rapid progress of the Federation's communication technology.

Naturally, Feitian also sent some photos of the second spiral arm to the Space Exploration Bureau.

So there was a conversation with the NASA scientist.

In addition, Yun Xinghe also asked about the current development of the Federation.

"The federation is very powerful now. It already has 1076 livable galaxies and a population of more than ten trillion. With the help of the pumice element, the federation has achieved two technological explosions. The help brought by the three-eyed people is even greater. Their The finishing technology allows the Federation to easily use the resources inside the star... This is all the contribution made by the Feitian, and now the Federation, the Feitian is a household name... The selfless dedication of the predecessors is admirable and admirable!"

The scientist on the screen looked reverent and authentic.

"How is Pandora now? Has it been completely destroyed?" Yun Xinghe asked a question he most wanted to know the answer to.

"No, with the help of the three-eyed people, scientists developed an atom penetration net, and mined most of the remaining pumice stones. It's just Pandora, which has become a very ordinary planet. The Lanwei people are also big. Some of them have left their home planet and are contributing to various causes of the Federation...Captain Yun, the Federation is not a short-sighted private interest group, and the Federation will never run out of money."

"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 additional choice. It is not necessary to completely expose the ugly side. The ultimate goal is achieved, and the bottom line of morality is also taken care of. It can be called the best of both worlds." The old man in his mind sighed.

"Captain, the galaxy in front is coming soon, we can finally replenish supplies and fuel." After passing through the Oort Nebula, Lan Xiulong pointed to the orange star ahead.

"Great! I'm going to throw up the nutritious meal produced by the printer! I want to eat raw steak, and I want to eat fruits and vegetables!"

Sugaru waved his arms and cheered.

Today, the remaining fuel and supplies of the Feitian are running low. Even in order to slow down, a considerable part of the living supplies on the spacecraft have been thrown into the reactor and the medium compartment, including 800 tons of water, 200 tons of ore elements, and some less-used materials. tools and ammunition.

The agricultural cabin has stopped working long ago, the meat growth pool has stopped producing meat, and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are no longer available. The monotonous printing of food makes the crew's mouth fade away, and they complain again and again when it's meal time.

Only the three-eyed person, who can survive without eating and only needs to charge a little electricity, is in good condition.

But thinking that they will be able to enter the star system in front of them soon and replenish all kinds of urgently needed supplies, the entire crew of the Feitian is still very excited.

"Strange, this star system is a bit strange."

First launched the detection device in the past, and after sending back some data pictures, Zhinao Xiaokong found something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Xiao Kong?" Yun Xinghe asked.

"This galaxy is not an uninhabited galaxy, there is life in it." Xiao Kong said.

"I haven't seen any signs of life. The planets in this star system are extremely desolate and there are no living things." Looking at the pictures on the projection screen, Yun Xinghe said.

"Xiao Kong zoomed in on the picture for you to see, look at Planet 4, what's on its surface?" Xiao Kong zoomed in on one of the pictures, circled an area and said to him.

As soon as Yun Xinghe's eyes moved closer, he was immediately taken aback.

Holes, densely packed holes.

The number is too numerous to count, like the microscopic surface of a piece of activated carbon, covered with countless irregular holes.

"Xiao Kong, what are these holes?" Lan Xiulong who was on the side was also surprised and asked Xiao Kong.

"I don't know, there is no record of this kind of hole in Xiaokong's database."

"Hey, why does it look like some kind of creature's lair? That's right! I remembered that I played a game before. There was a Zerg planet in it, and the surface was densely packed with holes."

Gu Fan, the weapons officer, said that he felt a little familiar.

"Zerg? This is impossible, right? Scientists have explained that those who can survive without oxygen, are not afraid of a vacuum of more than 200 degrees below zero, are not afraid of the burning of cosmic rays and sunlight, and can move freely in space relying on their own biology Creatures are unlikely to exist at all... If there is, it will not be Zerg, it must be an interstellar behemoth with a fusion reactor in its body." Su Jialu said.

"Whether it's Zerg or not, these holes on Planet 4 are definitely not formed under natural conditions. There must be something unknown under these holes."

"Be careful, and increase the observation of this planet."

Yun Xinghe said.

"Yes, Captain!"

……

half year later.

Feitian, whose speed has dropped to 0.01C, is only about 3 AU away from the destination—the No. 5 gaseous planet with a diameter of 10 kilometers.

The replenishment plan for Feitian is: first go to planet No. 5 to replenish hydrogen elements 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 star system, whether it is the asteroid belt or the gaseous planet No. 5, the orbits of the No. 4 planet are very close by coincidence, and they are not particularly far away.

At this time, it is only less than 1.5 astronomical units.

So two days later, when they were about to arrive at the gaseous planet No. 5, the observers on duty on the Feitian saw an eye-popping scene.

"insect!"

"There are countless insects flying towards us!"

Du Xiaopang yelled and hurriedly reported the situation.

"insect?"

Yun Xinghe was taken aback, and quickly asked Zhinao Xiaokong to turn on the ultra-high-definition telescope, and he saw countless black dots, which were ejecting densely from the lair on the surface of Planet 4, countless insect creatures, With blue flames on its tail, it is about the size of a space fighter, and its shapes are various, some are like locusts, some are like beetles, and some are like mantis monsters with two big knives growing out of their forearms.

"Zerg, there really are Zerg?" Sugaru opened his eyes wide, and his three views were refreshed.

"Captain, the number of insects ejected is estimated to exceed 200 billion, and the speed exceeds 300 million kilometers per hour. It is expected to arrive in 80 hours." Zhinao Xiaokong said.

"So fast? Can the Feitian complete its refueling before these insect creatures arrive?"

Yun Xinghe asked, the speed of these insect creatures is actually not very fast, Feitian can get rid of them easily, but now the fuel reserve of Feitian has almost dropped to the limit, it is impossible to accelerate and decelerate at will, and the replenishment of supplies must be completed first.

"Yes, but after the resupply is over, the spaceship will be overtaken by some insect creatures, and there will be some contact. Therefore, in order to ensure absolute safety, it is recommended to adopt a certain delay to intercept." Xiaokong said.

"What are the offensive weapons currently available to the spaceship?"

"There are three super-large water droplets."

"Throw out all the water droplets and intercept those Zerg!" Yun Xinghe made a decisive decision and ordered to release all the water droplets.

"Yes, Captain!"

This instruction made the three-eyed people collectively cheer: "Water droplet, our water droplet is finally useful! Go and crush it, baby of the three-eyed people!"

The crew members in the control hall also gathered together, staring at the screen, looking at the three giant water droplets that released the spaceship, their eyes full of anticipation.

Droplets VS Zerg.

A big battle is about to begin!
