Tempus fugit.

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

In the silence of the vastness of space, the Flying Spacecraft reached the edge of this ribbon of light.

The second spiral arm has finally arrived.

After the hibernation state is removed.

USS Flyaway, in the bridge control hall.

"The density of stars on this spiral arm is at least 30% greater than scientists estimated, and the average interval between stars in many regions is only 1 to 2 light-years, and there are even many binary star systems and three-star systems...... This spiral arm is far more lively than the third spiral arm, and it belongs to the 'prosperous area' of the Milky Way. ”

Federal scientists on screen.

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 dialogue with Feitian through the communication equipment on the Feitian that only has 100 photons that are still in a quantum entanglement state, with a delay of less than 2 seconds...... The rapid progress of federal communication technology has shocked Yun Xinghe.

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

So there was a conversation with the scientist of the Detection Agency.

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

"The Federation is now very powerful, with 1,076 habitable galaxies, more than a trillion people, and with the help of the Floating Stone Element, the Federation has achieved two technological explosions, and the help brought by the Three-Eyed People is even greater, and their finishing technology allows the Federation to easily use the resources inside the stars...... These are all the contributions made by the Flying Sky, and now the Federation, the Flying Sky is a household name...... The selfless dedication of the predecessors is admirable and admirable!"

On the screen, the scientist said with reverence.

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

"No, with the help of the Three-Eyed people, scientists have developed an atomic osmosis network, mined most of the remaining floating stones, but Pandora has become a very ordinary planet, and 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 will never fish out of its resources. ”

"That's good. ”

Yun Xinghe nodded, the wisdom of the federal government can be trusted, and the kind of scene described by the old man was lucky not to appear.

"The development of technology will always bring us an additional choice, we don't have to completely expose the ugly side, the ultimate goal is achieved, and the moral bottom line is also taken care of, which can be called both. The old man in his head sighed.

"Captain, the system ahead is almost here, and we can finally get supplies and fuel. After passing through the Oort Nebula, Lan Xiulong pointed to the orange star in front of him.

"Great! I'm about to vomit at the nutritious meals produced by the printer! I want to eat raw steak, I want to eat fruits and vegetables!"

Sugaru waved his arms and cheered.

Now there is not much fuel and materials left on the Feitian, and even in order to slow down, a considerable part of the daily necessities on the spacecraft are all thrown into the reactor and medium compartment, including 800 tons of water, 200 tons of ore elements, and some tools and weapons and ammunition that are not very useful.

The agricultural cabin has long ceased to work, the meat growing pond is no longer producing meat, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are no longer available, and the monotonous and tasteless printed food makes the crew fade out of their mouths and complain as soon as the meal arrives.

Only three-eyed people who don't eat and can survive with just a little charge indicate that they are in good condition.

But the thought of being able to enter the star system in front of them immediately and replenish all kinds of supplies that were urgently needed made the entire crew of the Feitian very excited.

"Strange, this galaxy is a little weird. ”

After sending back some data pictures from the detection device that was launched first, Zhi Nao Xiaokong found that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Xiaokong?" asked Yun Xinghe.

"This galaxy is not an uninhabited galaxy, there is life in it. "Little empty road.

"I don't see any signs of life, the planets in this star system, desolate, without any life. Looking at a few pictures on the projection screen, Yun Xinghe said.

"Sora will enlarge the picture and show you, look at Planet 4, what's on its surface?" Sora enlarged one of the pictures, circled an area and said to him.

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

Holes, dense holes.

There are too many of them to count, just like the microscopic appearance of a piece of activated carbon, full of countless irregular holes.

"Xiaokong, what's going on with these holes?" Lan Xiulong on the side was also taken aback and asked Xiaokongdao.

"I don't know, there is no record of this kind of hole in the empty database. ”

"Hey, I look a bit like some kind of creature lair? By the way, I remember, I used to play a game with a Zerg planet and a dense hole on the surface. ”

Weapons Officer Gu Fan spoke, he felt a little familiar.

Scientists have explained that those creatures that can survive without oxygen, are not afraid of a vacuum of more than -200 degrees Celsius, are not afraid of cosmic rays and sunlight, and can rely on their own creatures to move freely in space, are unlikely to exist...... If there really is, it won't be a zerg, it must be an interstellar monster with a fusion reactor in its body. Sugaru said.

"Whether it is Zerg or not, these holes on Planet 4 are by no means formed under natural conditions, and there must be something unknown underneath these holes. ”

"Be cautious and increase your observation of this planet. ”

Yun Xinghe said.

"Yes, Captain!"

……

Half a year later.

The speed dropped to 0.01C was only about 10 astronomical units away from its destination, the gaseous planet No. 5, which has a diameter of 30,000 kilometers.

The replenishment plan of Feitian is: first go to Planet 5 to replenish hydrogen for fuel or acceleration medium, and 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 No. 5, the orbits of planet 4 are very coincidentally close, and they are not particularly far.

At this time, there are less than 1.5 astronomical units.

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

"Bugs!"

"Untold numbers of bugs are flying towards us!"

Du Xiaopang shouted and hurriedly reported the situation.

"Bugs?"

Yun Xinghe was taken aback, and quickly let Zhi Brain Xiaokong, opened the ultra-high-definition telescope, and sure enough, he saw countless black dots, which were densely spewing out from the nest on the surface of Planet 4, countless insect creatures, with blue flames dragging their tails, about the same size as a space fighter, and the shapes were strange, some like locusts, some like beetles, and some like two large mantis monsters with forearms.

"Zerg, is there really a Zerg?" Sugaru's eyes widened, and his three views were refreshed at once.

"Captain, the number of insect creatures spewing out is predicted to exceed 20 billion, the speed is more than 3 million kilometers per hour, and it is expected to arrive in 80 hours. "Wisdom brain small empty way.

"So soon, will the Flying be able to refuel before these insects arrive?"

Yun Xinghe asked, the speed of these insect creatures is actually not very fast, and the Feitian can easily get rid of them, but now the Feitian's fuel reserves have almost dropped to the limit, and it is impossible to accelerate and slow down at will, and the replenishment of materials must be completed first.

"Yes, but after the supply is over, the spacecraft will be caught up by some insect creatures, resulting in a certain amount of contact, so in order to ensure absolute safety, it is recommended to take a certain amount of delay interception. "Little empty road.

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

"There are also three extra-large droplets. ”

"Drop all the water droplets and intercept those zerg!" Yun Xinghe immediately made a decision and ordered all the water droplets to be released.

"Yes, Captain!"

This command caused the Three-Eyed people to collectively cheer: "Water droplets, our water drops have finally come in handy! Go and crush them, Three-Eyed people's baby!"

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

Water Drops VS Zerg.

A big battle is about to begin!
