The Milky Way, the Oryun Galaxy, a small fleet is speeding through the silence of space.

The flagship command room, the command screen, the high-speed asteroid flew by from time to time, and the star system in front of it became clear little by little.

"Successfully reached the source of the signal, slowed down the ship, and woke up the crew. The synthesized sound of the flagship brain reverberated in the flagship command room.

Soon, the dormant cabin of the fleet sounded with the sound of the hatch activation, the hatch cover of the dormant cabin was opened one by one, and the whole fleet came to life, and the crew woke up from dormancy one by one with the assistance of auxiliary machinery.

"Have you arrived? What time is it?" "After Liu Zhenhui, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, came out of the sleeping capsule, he immediately asked the flagship Zhi Brain.

"Commander, it's the Federal Calendar: June 22, 257, and we are now located at T432, B333, U221, Z448, 570 million kilometers from the host star of the Oryun System, and 250 million kilometers from the birthplace of the Planet 8 of the Oryun System. Flagship Brain reported.

Liu Zhenhui nodded, and while putting on his command uniform, he ordered: "Have all the probes been launched?

"Commander, the network of probes has been fully rolled out and the entire galaxy is being explored, and nothing has been found for the time being. Flagship Brain responded.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui frowned, and after putting on his military uniform, he quickly rushed to the flagship command room.

Following the loss of contact with the first fleet of the Galactic Alliance into the hinterland of the Dark Zerg domination star field, the Galactic Alliance, the Human Federation, and other civilizations have lost contact with 6 fleets one after another.

How did the fleet disappear silently? was it the return of the Dark Zerg, or the invasion of an unknown civilization.

Now all the main fleets of the Galactic Alliance have shrunk down, and various reconnaissance fleets are attacking from all directions, searching for the lost fleets and exploring the reasons for the loss of contact with the fleet.

The Oryun galaxy is a large galaxy about five times larger than the solar system, the mass of the star-Orrstar is 3.8 times that of the Sun, and the effective gravitational influence of the entire star system is up to 3.7 light-years in diameter.

90% of the material of the Milky Way is stars, and there are many types of stars, which can be divided into five star families according to their physical properties, chemical composition, spatial distribution and movement characteristics.

The youngest Extreme Population 1 stars are mainly distributed in the spiral arms of the galactic disk, while the oldest extreme Population 2 stars are mainly distributed in the galactic halo. Stars often cluster together, and in addition to a large number of binary stars, more than 1,000 star clusters have been discovered in the Milky Way. There is also gas and dust in the Milky Way, which accounts for about 10% of the total mass of the Milky Way, and the distribution of gas and dust is uneven, some are clustered into nebulae, and some are scattered in interstellar space.

The reconnaissance fleet shuttles through the vast galaxy of the Milky Way, like a small shrimp in the ocean, which is inconspicuous in comparison, however, for the vast universe, the Milky Way is only one of its countless galaxies, the smallest galaxy.

With such a huge universe, there are countless possibilities.

Liu Zhenhui silently stared at the command screen and watched the monitoring dynamics on the monitoring screen.

Time passed bit by bit, and before I knew it, a month had passed.

The reconnaissance fleet gradually sailed into the core of the Oryun system, and even appeared in the closest position to the signal transmission, but it still found nothing, and everything in the empty galaxy seemed so desolate and silent except for the planetary system that was running.

Astronautics is a very hard job, especially the long-term mission of long-distance reconnaissance, long detachment from the home planet, the silence of the space environment, the immutable astronomical landscape, the boring voyage, and the powerlessness of the empty universe,...... The accumulation of various negative factors for a long time will cause various negative effects in the hearts of intelligent creatures.

"Commander, you have been on duty for 10 days in a row, and it is recommended that you immediately go to sleep and adjust your mood. Flagship Zhi Brain proposed to Liu Zhenhui.

"Well, I'll go later, hasn't the probe been effective in responding so far? Is it misplaced?" Liu Zhenhui nodded and asked a little irritably.

The universe is full of various force fields, special environments, signal sources are interfered with, and wrong position judgment can easily occur.

"Commander, this is the last confirmed location of the source of the signal, which is no longer available for identification. The flagship brain replied to Liu Zhenhui.

"Damn, it's like this again, it's the first time. What the hell is going on with that signal, intermittently, it can't stay in one place. Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui's face turned dark and he cursed angrily.

"Commander, this source may be on the run, or it may be being interfered with. An adjutant at the console guessed.

"There's also the possibility that this signal could be a decoy, luring us into a trap that keeps luring us into the trap. As soon as the words fell, another adjutant guessed.

"Think too much! This signal uses the military code of the Federation, and it should be the missing Second Fleet of the Federation. ”

"The information carried by the signal is too vague to explain anything at all!"

……

Commanding the console, the technicians speculated about the possibility of the anomaly of the distress signal, and they were confused by the distress signal.

Looking at the subordinates who were discussing, Liu Zhenhui felt irritable for no reason.

The reconnaissance mission did not go well, and it was not easy to reach the source of the signal for help, and the signal for help jumped a long distance,...... , under the constant pursuit, unconsciously, they have penetrated deep into the star cluster where the Oryun galaxy is located.

There was a feeling of being teased, Liu Zhenhui was extremely depressed, and even wanted to give up the chase a little.

Suddenly, at this time, the flagship Zhi Brain said loudly: "Commander, I found that distress signal again, it appeared in this small belt, 70 million kilometers away from us. ”

As soon as the voice fell, the large holographic screen showed a flickering red dot, located in a small line of attraction near a giant gas planet, which is like Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, one of the planetary species that exists in many star systems.

However, unlike Jupiter, the gas planet of the solar system, this gas planet is very close to the star, only about 50 million kilometers away, and like this gas planet, they are a kind of 'hot' star.

When a giant planet is formed to a certain size, its gravitational pull can open a gap in its orbit without gas, and the gas speed on its inner side is faster than it, and the gravitational pull of the giant planet makes it lose its orbital velocity, so that it approaches the host star, but, the gas velocity on its outer side is slower than it, and the gravitational pull of the giant planet makes it increase its orbital velocity, so that it is far away from the host star, so that the gap is formed, and it no longer grows, and the star itself has a tendency to migrate to the host star,......。

……

Due to the violent internal activity of the gas planets, the violent winds of the planets, the ejection of all kinds of materials, and the strong gravitational attraction of their huge mass, they eventually cause many small bands to orbit around them, and the location of the signal for advice is the asteroid belt formed by the gas planet.

"Activate the tunnel monitor immediately and lock its location!" Liu Zhenhui perked up and ordered excitedly.

"Commander, the tunnel monitor has been activated, and nothing special has been found!" replied the Flagship Brain.

As soon as the voice fell, the command screen changed, showing a close-up dynamic image of the asteroid belt, except for the asteroids of different shapes and devastated by the planetary wind,...... , there are no special objects at all, let alone a ship that launches a model of advice.

"Why is this like this, what the hell is going on!" Liu Zhenhui asked with wide eyes and frantically.

"Commander, the current phenomenon is an unknown special phenomenon, it is recommended to return to the base first, report the situation, and wait for the base's instructions. The flagship brain provided Liu Zhenhui with a solution.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui frowned, unwilling to accept the auxiliary implementation suggestions of the flagship intelligent brain.

In the vast universe, interstellar marching will encounter all kinds of unexpected phenomena, such as encountering strange civilizations, accidentally discovering biological stars, or discovering special astronomical phenomena,...... In order to assist commanders in dealing with these difficult issues, the Federation has 'intimately' equipped the flagship brain with various auxiliary enforcement regulations to provide implementation suggestions in the most conservative and appropriate way.

At the moment, this unknown distress signal is contained in the scope of this special enforcement regulation, when the commander can not handle it correctly, the flagship brain provides advice, of course, the entire fleet, the commander-in-chief has the greatest rights, Liu Zhenhui can refuse to implement, and change other action plans, however, once there is a major accident, then he will have to bear a huge price for it.

After weighing for a while, Liu Zhenhui's face was solemn, he looked at the command screen, and ordered to the flagship Zhinao: "Report this phenomenon to the base, there is no need to return, continue to move forward, I want to see what the situation is!"

"Understood, Commander!" the flagship Zhi Brain answered, wrote Liu Zhenhui's command into the voyage 'log', and finally compiled the message, activated the tunnel communication device and prepared to launch it back, at the same time, the huge fleet continued to accelerate forward, galloping towards the source of the signal.

After a few seconds, the flagship brain suddenly reported: "Commander, an unknown phenomenon has occurred, the tunnel communication device cannot be connected ultra-remotely, and the communication function cannot be turned on!"

"What! What did you say?" Liu Zhenhui's face changed dramatically and he asked in horror.

After listening to the report of the flagship brain, the staff on the operation table collectively panicked, and they quickly launched an investigation.

"Commander, the outer periphery of the cluster is disturbed by unknown space energy, and the ultra-long-range tunneling instrument is not working properly. ”

"Commander, the wormhole shuttle device cannot be activated due to unknown interference!"

"Commander, the space-time energy inside the star cluster is normal, and the outer layer of the star cluster is disturbed by unknown space-time energy, so it cannot stabilize the activity frequency of space-time energy!"

……

The results of the investigation soon came, and the operators turned pale, looked at Liu Zhenhui in confusion, and reported.

Discovering this situation, Liu Zhenhui also panicked for a while, once the ultra-long-distance tunnel communication was lost, the wormhole tunnel shuttled, which means that they lost the possibility of contacting the base and returning to the home planet.

Ultra-long-range tunnel communication, wormhole tunnel shuttle, these two technologies are the most basic standard for interstellar navigation, the reason why human civilization can enter the interstellar era so quickly, develop efficiently, and stand out among the intelligent civilizations of the Galactic Alliance, the mature development of these two technologies plays a vital role.

"What is the cause? is it man-made, or is it a natural formation of galaxies?" Liu Zhenhui nervously asked the flagship Zhi Brain.

"Commander, the think tank is analyzing, and the results cannot be obtained for the time being!" replied the flagship brain.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui breathed shortly, and a bad premonition floated in his mind.

There will be such a coincidence, an abnormal distress signal, which can block the tunnel communication signal and isolate the space-time energy of the wormhole,...... Isn't it true that this galaxy has always harbored enemies that they have not been aware of?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhenhui's heart trembled, and he ordered loudly: "Immediately enter the wartime state, turn the bow of the ship, and break through outside the star cluster first." ”

"Yes, Commander!" the flagship brain responded, and in an instant, the reconnaissance fleet turned the bow of the ship in unison, driving the engines to spray a stream of particles wildly, and the fleet accelerated violently, taking its life and fleeing.

The operators on the console, one by one, stared at the large holographic screen with their eyes wide open, searching for the enemy that had not yet appeared.

"Where are our enemies?"

"No, life detectors, metal detectors, and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are all discovering the existence of the enemy. ”

"All the main naval guns of the whole ship have been stored up, and the secondary guns are ready to be continued,......。 ”

……

After a moment of panic, the technical officers of the operating station returned to order, and they methodically carried out the wartime preparations, looking at Liu Zhenhui one by one, waiting for his orders.

Didn't the enemy appear? Could it be that I made a mistake in judgment?

Facing the strange gazes of his subordinates, Liu Zhenhui couldn't help but blush slightly, but he quickly recovered, looked at everyone with a serious face, and ordered: "Continue to be vigilant, the space-time energy of this star cluster is abnormal, and the signal for seeking advice is abnormal, so you must pay attention to relevant trends." ”

"Yes, Commander!" everyone shook their bodies, received orders in unison, and began to monitor the command screen with full attention, looking for clues of the 'enemy'.

Time was ticking, another two days had passed since the transfer, the enemy had not yet appeared, and the reconnaissance fleet had sailed away from the core of the Oryun system.

Just when everyone on the ship was expecting to leave the Oryun system safely, a large number of asteroid groups were found in the outer layers of the Oryun system, and they were speeding towards them according to the established orbit.

Soon, under Liu Zhenhui's timely order, the fleet intervened from the oncoming asteroid group.

"Oh no, those, those asteroids will move!" At this moment, a frightened voice was like thunder on dry land, and everyone was stunned at once.
