In Jupiter's orbit, a small point of light flew in the opposite direction from the rest of the spots, and its tail flame was huge, even larger than Halley's Comet, which was the thrust of the forward four.

This huge tail flame made the rest of the ships have to turn on their defensive shields, otherwise they will be blown away.

After that, the Natural Selection fled in a short period of acceleration.

After watching Natural Selection rush past the Jupiter-1 moon, the commander of the Asian fleet confirmed an incredible fact.

The Natural Selection defected, and Zhang Beihai was a defeatist.

"Huh? One of the ships escaped? Is it ETO?

That's not right, the Trisolarans don't want the earthlings to leave the solar system, they won't do it! ”

Rediaz was puzzled.

"Those are the sparks of humanity!"

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "When the lion grows up, he will leave the original lion group and start a new life, but this is not certain, many lions have died on the adrift road!" ”

The departure of the European and North American fleets protested, believing that the Asian fleet wanted to preempt the Trisolaraan probes.

But they soon discovered that Natural Selection was heading in the wrong direction, and it was in the opposite direction of the three-body invasion.

Mockery, unconsciously revealed between the two fleets.

Originally, the Asian fleet had to reinforce the future determined triumphalist fighters, which made them envious of the anomalous, but now.

Hehe.

Many ships called for Natural Selection, but there was no response from Natural Selection, which was in an accelerated state, and even more worryingly, there was no way to stop Natural Selection.

In the space harbor, there are no ships that can catch up with the Natural Selection, and if you use Europa's pedestal weapon, you can destroy the Natural Selection, but the other soldiers on the ship will have to die with it.

All they could do was watch as natural selection glided over the moon and fled to the other side of the universe, the brilliant tail flame as dead as ashes.

Humanity has lost a stellar warship.

Forty-five minutes later, the three fleets sent four ships in pursuit, namely the Blue Space, the Enterprise, the Deep Space, and the Ultimate Law.

With the Natural Selection's fuel and supplies, they couldn't get far.

Among them, the Blue Space took the initiative to ask to join the pursuit team, and he was also the first to react.

Chu Yan, forty-three years old, was a soldier with the image of a Confucian general, his words and deeds were very calm, and in the harbor, he also ordered the soldiers to enter the deep sea, and no one objected to all this.

Then his Blue Space went smoothly and left the harbor in pursuit of the Natural Selection.

"You've failed!"

Dongfang Yanxu said, after the spacecraft stabilized, she exited the deep-sea state and came to Zhang Beihai's cabin, but Zhang Beihai was still in the protective shield.

Zhang Beihai was still writing and drawing in the cabin very calmly, the suspension button in front of him was on standby, and there was no clean acceleration liquid on the ground.

"It's wise to let your whole ship go into the deep sea, otherwise, they will all die!"

Zhang Beihai raised his head and said, it was Dongfang Yanxu who found that Zhang Beihai was much older. E-book bar

"The pursuing fleet is only one million and two hundred thousand kilometers away from us!"

Dongfang Yanxu sighed: "Your pessimism about the war is unreasonable, and all kinds of signs indicate that the Trisolarans have signs of negotiation!" ”

"I've seen the news! But that wasn't enough to make me change my mind! ”

Zhang Beihai said calmly: "You decide your actions with the most likely result, and we don't guess the result, we will only fulfill our greatest responsibility!" ”

"I really can't understand it, in fact, even if you hijack the Natural Selection and escape, you can't escape, the ship has a fifth of the fuel!" Dongfang Yanxu frowned.

"I know, but that's all I can do! That's my limit, of course, I don't expect you to understand, after all, we're separated by two centuries! "Chapter Hokkaido.

"The Combined Fleet has captured the Trisolaran's probe, it did not explode, and it is preliminarily judged that it is indeed a gift from the Trisolaranous World to pray for peace!"

Dongfang Yanxu said: "You can hand over the control of the Natural Selection!" ”

"Of course, but I want to ask you, what are you going to do after you get control?"

"Slow down, join up with the pursuing fleet, Natural Selection is not enough fuel to support a return voyage, we need to assemble, go back on a spaceship, and then come and take Natural Selection!" Oriental Yanxu Road.

"Don't slow down, slowing down will consume the remaining fuel, in the universe, there is no danger of fuel, I think you can foresee!"

Zhang Hokkaido: "Don't slow down, this is my condition for you, in fact, after handing over the command, I can only get the guarantee of your personality!" The enemy still exists, the danger has not disappeared, and we, as soldiers, can only enjoy the joy of the world after tomorrow! ”

Dongfang Yanxu has always been difficult to understand about Zhang Beihai, and she suspects that Zhang Beihai's defection has another purpose, or maybe it is just a simple mental problem.

But no matter what, Zhang Beihai has a hard and stoic temperament, which makes her involuntarily feel attached.

There is no father in her life, in fact, this is a common thing, and many people do not realize it, but Dongfang Yanxu felt his father's love in Zhang Beihai's body.

"Okay, I promise you!" Oriental Yanxu Road.

Zhang Beihai did not hesitate, even if he hesitated, it was useless, he hijacked the Natural Selection, he was the only bandit, and failure was inevitable.

Returning command to Dongfang Yanxu, Zhang Beihai seemed to have lost all his strength. Dongfang Yanxu received command and began to connect with the rest of the fleet.

The three fleets have already come to Neptune, and after some discussion, the fleet decided to send a joint team to capture the probe that studies the Trisolarans - water droplets.

Two frigates, the Bronze Age and the Quantum, escorted the capture ship Mantis to contact, and the leader of the research team was Ding Yi, the founder of modern spacecraft.

After being inspired by Zhang Xuan, Ding Yi formed a new generation of power engines, pushing the quantum technology mastered by mankind to the limit, reaching 15% of the speed of light.

The Mantis is small, it's just a capture ship, with a hollow belly, a pair of telescopic brackets to capture the probe, and the research team has only four people.

Behind him is a neatly arranged human fleet, and in front of him 1,100 kilometers is the detector of the Trisolara, a detector like a water droplet, its whole body is covered with a reflective film, which cannot be detected by radar, and can only be observed with optical telescopes.

This kind of asymmetrical scene made Ding Yi dislike it very much, which reminded him of a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest said that he would die in a high-profile situation.

And now, it seems to be such a scene.

Ding Yi picked up the communicator and said: "I want to ask the Bronze Age and the Quantum to enter the deep sea state, once the probe escapes, the fighter spacecraft cannot be tracked for long distances, and can only be pursued by stellar spacecraft!" ”

"Roger! I'll ask for advice! The captain replied.

After some discussion by the Combined Fleet, it was approved, and the Bronze Age and Quantum entered the deep sea state at the same time, ready to enter the Forward 4 at any time.
