"The decision is yours! The decision is yours on whether we move on or go back! "It's probably because she has been imprisoned by the Nine Senses Clan once, so this time He Dongliu has become quite cautious, she originally had a strong hope to complete the adventure, but at this moment she actually has no desire to stick to it strongly.

If it is replaced by He Dongliu 18 years ago, no matter how dangerous the future is, He Dongliu will not be able to retreat, and will only choose to move forward...... This is the necessary quality and belief of an explorer, and if you don't have even this conviction, then the explorer is not a qualified explorer.

And in the same way, this is one of the reasons why explorers are known as the admirals with the highest mortality rate, and a large number of explorers end up dying on the road of exploration because of this indomitable belief!

"Let's send a drone to reconnoiter first!" Liu Nianfeng thought for a moment and said, since they have already found this wormhole, it would be too unwilling to return here, at least to figure out the situation on the other side of the wormhole.

So under the order of Liu Nianfeng, ten reconnaissance-specific high-speed drones set sail from the Radiance and rushed directly into the wormhole.

These drones are drones purchased by Liu Nianfeng at a high price, and the price of each drone is as high as 100 million star coins, which is about 100 times higher than the price of ordinary reconnaissance drones.

And the most critical factor why the price of these drones is so high is that they are equipped with the most advanced artificial intelligence, which is said to have reached the level of a ten-year-old boy.

Even if the wormhole is too far away and the quantum network connection is completely lost, it can also move freely on the other end with artificial intelligence, and once it finds that there is danger on the other end, it will immediately record and take pictures, and then flee...... This AI is said to have the ability to dodge 70% of the attacks of the astral beasts.

As long as there are enough drones sent out, then there should always be one or two that will be able to return.

It can be seen that although Liu Nianfeng came out in a hurry, the preparations were extremely perfect, and it seemed to be more perfect than He Dongliu back then.

The drones quickly entered the wormhole, and then for the first twenty minutes they were able to maintain a certain amount of quantum contact in the wormhole, but after twenty minutes, all communication was completely lost.

This means that the length of this wormhole is also more than 20 minutes, so that the quantum signal completely declines, and the other end of the wormhole cannot rely on the quantum signal for direct communication.

Everyone became ignorant of the situation of the drone on the other side of the wormhole, so they could only silently gather at the entrance of the wormhole, waiting for the news from the drone to come back.

"We will wait for eight hours, and if not a single drone returns after eight hours, then the fleet will immediately retreat without delay!" Seeing this situation, Liu Nianfeng decisively announced to everyone.

According to the setting, the drone on the other side of the wormhole will either thoroughly explore the full situation within 20 million kilometers before returning, and depending on the speed of the drone, this will take about two hours or so.

At the same time, the drone has another working logic, that is, it will be active for a maximum of six hours, and it will inevitably turn back regardless of the detection result. The limit length of the wormhole currently known to mankind is about 50 minutes, and scientists believe that the wormhole beyond this length cannot be maintained at all, and the entire wormhole will naturally collapse.

Let's just say that the drones are in the wormhole for an hour, and the round trip is two hours, adding up to eight hours.

If none of these drones have returned for eight hours, it means that the other end of the wormhole is indeed full of dangers, and for the safety of the fleet, it is impossible for Liu Nian Feng to venture into the wormhole!

The waiting time is a bit long, a little boring, and a little frightening.

The rest of the fleet is fine, they should sleep, they should eat, they are just here to get the job done. But Liu Nianfeng and He Dongliu were under considerable pressure, anyway, it was impossible for the two of them to fall asleep in the past few hours.

Time passed 1 minute and 1 second, and soon it was seven hours later, just when Liu Nianfeng and He Dongliu felt that things were mostly smashed, these drones might not be able to come back, and the other end of the wormhole was likely to be another cage, an intermittent signal suddenly connected to the communication of the Guanghui.

"It's the signal of our drone!" Alice said excitedly, Liu Nianfeng and He Dongliu pounced in front of the console at the same time, looked at the data displayed on the console, and confirmed that it was indeed their own drone, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

After that, eight more drones were connected one after another, and they all successfully returned, but the last drone never received any signal to return, but this is not too much of a fuss, after all, the drone needs to face a lot of dangers alone after leaving the control of humans.

And because of the drone's material, it may be directly damaged when passing through the wormhole, so it is not very strange to lose the signal of one or two drones!

After 20 minutes, these drones came out of the wormhole one after another, and then were immediately collected by the Radiance, and at the same time, the staff began to quickly interpret the data stored inside the drone, and uploaded all the images taken by the drone to the cockpit.

"It's coming! Here comes the picture! He Dongliu shouted excitedly, and the picture taken by the drone appeared in front of everyone.

At the beginning of the picture, it was a bit boring in the wormhole space, and after a quick release, it was determined that the drone sailed in the wormhole space for 36 minutes and 21 seconds, proving that this is a fairly long wormhole, with a span of about 1.5 million light years, which means that the location where the treasure fleet crashed is still 1.5 million light years away.

After the record of the wormhole space was almost released, the scene on the other side of the wormhole finally appeared.

Unexpectedly, at the other end of the wormhole was a whole group of meteorites...... This wormhole is directly located in the center of the meteorite group, and the space around the wormhole is completely surrounded by dense meteorites.

"No wonder the drone will use up all six hours before forcing it to return, because there are all meteorites here, and the drone is also very tricky to fly, and it takes several times more time to reconnoiter the entire range of 20 million kilometers in diameter!"

He Dongliu let out a long sigh of relief, this time the reason why the drone returned so late was also found, it turned out that the way was blocked by a large-scale meteorite group.

"Look! Is this the missing drone! "In the footage taken by a drone, the drone, which has never been able to return, is sailing in the other direction of the meteorite swarm, and after just a few seconds, it disappears from the drone's footage.

After that, no other drone was able to take an image of the disappeared drone!

"It seems that this drone should have collided with a meteorite, resulting in the destruction of the entire drone, so it can't be returned!" He Dongliu said thoughtfully.

"Hmmm! That's right! Liu Nianfeng nodded.

"But are these meteorite swarms a threat to our fleet?" Liu Nianfeng looked at the dense meteorites in the image, and said to himself with some hesitation.

These meteorites are densely packed, and the volume is still very small, covering the entire universe of stars, only a small part of the position can accommodate an entire battleship to pass through, and most of the places have no space for the star battleship to pass through without injury!

"There is no threat in theory!" Seeing Liu Nianfeng's worries, He Dongliu smiled slightly and said, "In fact, it is very clear in the textbook that as long as it is not a meteorite with a diameter of more than 1/10 of the volume of the Star Battleship, then with the hardness of the Spirit Alloy will not be able to cause substantial damage to our Star Battleship, at most it will leave a mark on the shell!" ”

"And the size of these meteorites in the video is almost less than 1% of the volume of the Star Battleship, and only a few of them meet the standard of being able to pose a threat, but it doesn't matter, our route is enough to avoid these large meteorites!"

"According to my personal experience, when the time comes, as long as you use the Radiance as the lead ship, open the way for the entire fleet, and use 1/6 of the cruising speed to crash all the way through, then you can directly crash out of the way, and the Radiance will not suffer any damage...... According to the reconnaissance of the drone, the diameter of this meteorite group is about one kilometer, so according to the cruising speed of 1/6, it will only take about 40 hours for the fleet to pass through this meteorite group safely! ”

"Yes! That's no problem! ”

"The fleet is off! Go full speed through the wormhole! With Liu Nian Feng's order, the entire fleet entered the wormhole in turn.

————————————————

"Bang!" Seeing a fairly huge meteorite directly hit a piece of armor in the lower right corner of the cockpit, and then the entire meteorite was smashed to pieces, Liu Nianfeng couldn't help but feel too violent.

Just like He Dongliu analyzed like Liu Nianfeng before, the Radiance was the leading minesweeper and stumbled into a passage in the meteorite group, while the other destroyers all followed closely behind the Radiance and moved forward safely.

However, apart from the fact that the paint on the hull of the Radiance had fallen off a bit, there was no major problem, and the fleet continued to move forward very safely.

"Compared to humans 3,000 years ago, we are so lucky!" Seeing this scene, He Dongliu couldn't help but sigh, "I have seen the wreckage of the battleship 3000 years ago, the star battleship at that time was not 1/10 the size of the current one, and the ghost alloy used was all the original formula provided by the Nine Senses Clan, and the strength was not as good as the current 1/10, in the face of so many dense meteorites, the fleet at that time must have been very desperate, and there was no other way than to detour!" ”

"I didn't expect Admiral He Dongliu that your battleship has also been studied!" Liu Nianfeng said with a smile.

"Huh! To do our business, you have to know a little bit! He Dongliu smiled, and after that, the Radiance, which had been shaking due to various impacts, suddenly became calm.

When everyone raised their heads again and looked at the cosmic stars in the distance, the dense meteorite group had disappeared, replaced by a huge red and burning star!

The fleet has entered a small planetary system!
