Viking fighter planes flew away from Behemoth, catching up with the massive wreckage left behind by the explosion of the three Stygian Bat-class destroyers as fast as they could, blasting them into a pile of debris with MT50 Lanzel Thunderbolts.

Don't look at the wreckage of some Stygian bat-class destroyers, due to the high level of science and technology, it still has a certain research value, Tang Fang doesn't want to see these wrecks appear in the second-hand goods trading market, in case they are bought by military industrial enterprises such as "Iga Industry" and "Rover Technology Consortium", and what will come out of the cottage to suppress themselves, wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot?

Since he didn't have time to salvage, he simply destroyed them all, anyway, he already had 2 roughly complete Styka-class destroyers in his hands, and those floating wreckage were dispensable to him.

Dragged by 4 Protoss transport planes, the Black 3 and the "Morning Star" slowly rose from the ground and gradually left the asteroid's gravity range.

At this time, Behemoth, who was at the level of the asteroid, shook his tail and raised his head, swallowed the black 3-seater into his abdomen, and then concocted the same method and sent the "Morning Star" into his mouth.

The crew had been evacuated outside by Tang Fang 20 minutes ago, and it was the first time that people like the cook, Valentine, Li Ziming and others had seen this kind of starry sky monster with a body length of more than 10 kilometers, Li Ziming and some of the crew members were so frightened that their faces were green, but Valentin's eyes were shining, as if they had seen a new continent.

He had seen puppies, insect queens and so on, and he had also gotten some samples from Tang Fang for study, but he never thought that the lovely Captain Tang still had a giant beast of this level in his hands, this big guy named "Behemoth", I am afraid that it can be compared to "Jörmungadre".

The so-called "Jörmungard" is just a synonym used to describe a huge life form discovered by humans after entering the space civilization, because the captain of the first scientific research ship to discover this creature is a Norwegian descendant. At that time, when reporting to the local government of the Republic of Date, the metaphor of "Jörmungad" was used, and it was named "Jörmungad" by the lazy bureaucrats.

It is said that a media magazine later interviewed the captain of the scientific research ship that found "Jörmungadre", and asked him why he used this name to describe the kind of giant beast that can survive in a vacuum environment, and the captain of the scientific research ship said that it was because when the scientific research ship was collecting material samples thrown by supernova explosions in deep space, it happened to encounter a small wandering planet.

At that time, the researchers working inside the research ship routinely dispatched shipborne unmanned probes to scan the spectrum of this small wandering planet, but no one expected the scanning results to be surprising.

The superficial strata of the wandering planet are suspected to have residues of zero-prime. However, according to the computer-generated mapping, these zero-element residues are scattered and strangely incoherent, unlike the distribution trend of any resource star zero-element veins found in previous mineral exploration history.

Moreover, there are two other puzzling places, the superficial layer of the planet actually has extremely low biological heat source radiation, and there is a weak zero-element reaction in the radiation area of these heat sources, and what is even more strange is that the biological heat source is moving at an extremely slow speed.

Such a phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of all the staff on the research ship. After a brief exchange with the Chief Science Officer, the captain gave the order to abandon the original plan and investigate the wandering planets instead.

Next, the research ship arrives at the gravitational range of the wandering planet, drops drilling equipment to the ground, and begins to form a landing force to carry out a survey of the wandering planet.

However, just after the completion of the landing members. As he was about to release the atmospheric shuttle, something unexpected happened.

Violent geological movements occurred within nearly 100 kilometers of the radiation area of the biological heat source of the wandering planet. The earth's crust cracked, the mountain peaks collapsed, and countless pieces of rubble rolled down from the large and small circular ridges to the bottom of the pit like rolling soybean grains.

Hundreds of meters of rock arched upwards and fractured, lifting up countless rubble, and the entire ground seemed to be shoveled up by a shovel. The landslide cracked and devastated the ground, and then a shadow rose from the fracture of the rock formation, crushing one huge rock after another. Fly to the Void at breakneck speed.

The earth trembled, the planets roared, mingled with the silent roar of shadows.

The scientists on board the research ship were almost dumbfounded, and the expressions on the faces of the only two astrobiologists were like those of Columbus's discovery of the New World.

According to the images captured by the high-resolution optical camera, the shadow is clearly a huge cosmic creature, a serpentine creature with a body length of more than 20 kilometers!

Its central body is similar to that of a python, with a diameter of up to one kilometer, its head is similar to that of an eel, narrow and sharp, with a circle of calyx around its neck, and its tail resembles the back half of a squid's body, with 8 tentacles, 2 long and 6 short, and when it swims in the void, the tentacles will move from time to time, spreading a faint blue halo.

After leaving the crust of the wandering planet, it is like a swimming fish returning to the sea, swinging its tail continuously, quickly leaving the planet's gravity range, and then stirring up a dark blue halo and disappearing into this space out of thin air.

This is undoubtedly an important milestone in the history of cosmic biology.

Since then, Jörmungård has been included in the encyclopedia of life sciences as a legendary creature, becoming one of the most frequently consulted creatures in human society for decades.

As a professor of biology, Valentine naturally has a strong interest in such legendary creatures, but it is a pity that the universe is too big for an endless person to travel through in his lifetime, and "Jörmungandr" has not appeared in human vision for decades since that appearance.

He didn't expect that he would be able to see a creature of the same level as "Jörmungad" in his lifetime, and more importantly, this giant whale called "Behemoth" was manipulated by Tang Fang.

For a moment, Valentine felt that if he was a woman, he might be excited to marry the guy surnamed Don. Of course, he is not a woman, just a bad old man, and Captain Tang will definitely not like his chrysanthemums.

Therefore, he could only smile with a smile that was both true and hypocritical, and looked at Captain Tang with kind eyebrows and said, "Tang boy......"

Tang Fang didn't let him finish his words, looked around at the people around him, and said with a smile: "I know what you're thinking." ”

As he spoke, two medical transport planes landed in an open area not far away.

Tang Fang said: "Don't say that I treat the employees badly, I will give you some benefits, Behemoth half-day tour." If you want to go, you can board the plane yourself. ”

Valentine's old arms and legs were like clocks that had just been wound, and he was the first to burst out of the crowd, rushing towards the medical transport plane like beggars grabbing food.

Yingluo followed quickly, and the girl's anxious shout came from the communication band: "Professor...... Professor, you run slowly, no one will rob you of this kind of thing......"

Tang Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly. Whoever said that older people will definitely see it, as long as they poke their hearts, they will still be excited, even more positive than taking the bride into the cave room.

Claire walked up to him and asked, "What are we going to do if you put the Morning Star in that big guy's belly?" Waiting here for the Covenant Navy to come to the rescue? ”

Tang Fang shook his head.

"That'...... Could this big guy have the ability to travel the stars? ”

Just because Claire is not a biologist doesn't mean she's unheard, and some experts in the biological sciences speculate that Jörmungard should have the ability to travel across the stars. Otherwise, with its huge size, it would never have been able to hide the scanning equipment of the research ship and disappear into thin air.

In the past few decades, the human territory has continued to expand, but "Jörmungandr" has never appeared again, and not even a trace has been left, which can only show a problem, its flight speed is far faster than the speed of human colonization of the universe.

As a life form of the same level as Jörmungad, Behemoth is afraid that he also has the ability to travel interstellarly.

Tang Fang nodded. Confirmed her suspicions: "Behemoth does have the ability to travel interstellarly, with a warp speed of 9.8. ”

He didn't just say this to Claire. Instead, use a public channel.

Whether it was Valentine, who had already run into the medical transport plane and was gasping for breath, or Yingluo, Roy, Li Ziming, and the other crew members in the back, their faces changed drastically after hearing this, and their movements froze.

9.8！ Warp speed level 9.8! Behemoth's warp tempo level is as high as 9.8!

And the "Morning Star" is only 6.5 ......

"But...... It is not yet time to make its existence public. ”

The crowd thought for a moment and understood what he meant. Now that the Tianchao Star Region is surging, it is better to keep a low profile, Taoguang is obscure, and quiet development is the top priority now, and Tang Fang can be described as infinite in "Babylon". But what is the result? attracted 5 Stygian Bat-class destroyers, fortunately he had the Ipsi Dragon artifact in his hand, and replaced it with someone else, but he was afraid that his soul had already returned to the Netherworld, and he even drank 3 bowls of Meng Po soup.

If you don't ask for help from the Covenant Navy, you don't need Behemoth, so how do you leave the asteroid next?

Such a question flashed in the minds of most crew members, and was immediately put out of their minds, this is a problem that Captain Tang should worry about, as a crew member, why should he think so much, what he says everyone should do.

Two medical transport planes carrying more than 100 crew members took to the air and threw themselves into Behemoth's "pocket".

With Izsha in the center, there is no risk of accidents.

Claire recovered from the shock of the number "9.8" and asked him what the hell he was up to, when Aros and Zhou Ai also walked over, looking at him curiously.

Tang Fang didn't say much, as soon as his mind moved, a Hercules transport plane appeared in the Terran base, and his mind moved again, and a light lit up in the dark void above the asteroid, and a brand-new ship slowly sailed out of nothingness.

Signal lights of different colors flickered on the surface of the hull, the light of the seven thrusters illuminated the void of thousands of meters outside, and the searchlights under the hull were turned on, illuminating the foothold of several Tang Fang people from a height of 100 meters.

It is a ship with a body length of more than 140 meters, gray-white paint, and a somewhat bloated shape, which looks like a small cargo ship at first glance.

"It's ......"

A few people were a little dumbfounded, along the way, they also had a little understanding of the "Ipsi Dragon Artifact" in Tang Fang's hands that was inexplicably hidden somewhere, and every once in a while they would renovate the tricks and launch new dishes like some special restaurants.

However, the longest aircraft of the combat unit that has long been biased towards the human technology tree is only more than 40 meters, and it does not have the function of warp navigation, but I did not expect that today's "new dish" suddenly broke the original record, and it was 140 meters long, reaching the level of a heavy frigate.

Tang Fang explained: "This is the Hercules transport plane. ”

"Hercules transport aircraft" -- it means that it has a very strong load-bearing capacity and is also a transport aircraft.

Zhou Ai was very smart, thinking of the scene just now, and asked, "This is an interstellar transport ship?" ”

Tang Fang nodded and said, "Yes, the warp speed level can reach 8.9." ”

According to Emma's explanation, the Hercules transport aircraft is based on a colony ship. It is not a warship with very strict performance requirements, therefore, it does not have a high speed of interstellar travel.

But even if it is only 8.9, it is much higher than 6.5.

"Are you going to use it as a temporary replacement for the Morningstar?"

"Not bad." Tang Fang agreed, and led everyone to the Hercules transport plane that slowly landed on the ground: "Use it for the time being until the Morning Star is repaired." ”

Because considering that exposing Behemoth's existence now will not bring him any good, on the contrary, it will expose his own strength. It is better to hide this weapon for the time being and use it to deter countries in the future.

The main engine of the "Morning Star" was damaged and it was unable to sail at warp speed.

The Protoss transport plane is too conspicuous, and if it is taken out before the war between the Star Alliance and Sulu and Mengya completely starts, it is easy for someone with a heart to use this matter to create an incident, and there is a risk of disrupting the layout.

The appearance of the Hercules transport aircraft can be described as a relief in disguise, although it is different from the existing cargo ship system of the Star Alliance, it is undoubtedly a human creation. And because "Morningstar Casting" itself is a shipbuilding enterprise, isn't it normal to design a brand new ship? No one can say anything more.

As for the wreckage of the "Morning Star" and the two Pluto-class destroyers with research value, they can be channeled into the system space through Guò Behemoth, and then released when they return to the "Dillard" star system.

In fact, Tang Fang has always criticized the characteristics of the system space that can contain dead things, but not living things, because the theory of the soul is ethereal, and Emma can't explain what the so-called "living matter" is, and in the end he can only use his imagination himself. Give a plausible explanation.

The interstellar system can be regarded as a microscopic universe, in which the laws of physics, chemistry and other laws are very different from those of the current universe. The unit produced by the system itself has a special position, which has a certain transcendent relationship with the core of the system, and can be freely projected into the current universe through the portal.

The "living matter" in Emma's mouth is formed in the current universe, and it also has a special force field, which can be called a "life force field", once this "life force field" overlaps with the special position of the system unit. It may cause field energy disorder, so that the connection between the interstellar system and the unit will be interrupted, and it will not be able to enter the system space.

Of course, there is an exception to this day, and the female Morisnu who has transformed into Izsha is because of a parasite. Her physique has changed, and her so-called soul has also merged with Izsha's memories, presumably in terms of the "life force field" has also undergone unknown changes, thus gaining the ability to freely enter and exit the space of the system.

Thinking back to the various changes in the interstellar system along the way, Tang Fang suddenly had an indescribable feeling that the system had been evolving, evolving in the direction of his favor, as if there was a simple will in the ethereal core core, growing with his growth.

He suddenly remembered a topic he had talked about over tea and chatting with old people like Valentine and Nehmeyah.

There is a question of whether "God" exists or not.

Nehmiah said that he didn't know if there were gods in this world, but it was good for human beings to have faith, because of faith, people will have souls, and they can be called "people", if they don't even have faith, then the so-called human beings are just a group of animals, no different from pigs and dogs.

Valentine is a scientist who prefers to look at problems from an academic point of view, and he believes that there are gods in this world, but the gods in his mouth are not those powerful beings in myths and epics that are enough to call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers.

"Spirit" resides in everyone's body, and if we put it in an easy-to-understand word, it is "gene".

birth, reproduction, life, death...... All human behaviors are driven by genes, and they all act according to the information or rules carried by genetic material, of course, there may be a certain degree of freedom and extension, but who can prove that this is not the tolerance of genes to human beings?

The so-called human nature, the so-called soul, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a by-product derived from a string of double-helix DNA strands.

Tang Fang was in the mood to watch the excitement and listen to the two old men fighting, as a debate between sociologists and scientists, so he was not in the mood to study what faith is not belief, what soul is not soul.

He wasn't in the mood before, and he wasn't in the mood now, he just thought of a strange idea temporarily, the genetic ...... Is it really only found in carbon-based organisms? It seems that the big snake entrenched in the Meijiaer Ipsilong relay station has silicon-based compounds stored in its body.

…………

An hour later, the squadron of Viking fighters cleared the aerial battlefield. Valentine, Li Ziming and others also visited the interior of Behemoth and returned to the Hercules transport plane one after another.

Valentine has been pestering Tang Fang since he came back, saying that he is interested in Izsha and wants to requisition her body for a few days.

Tang Lin, Claire, and Zhou Ai didn't go to Behemoth to join in the fun, and their understanding of Izsha was only on the cognition of "a beautiful woman", so. Faced with the statement of "study her body well", it was a little stunned, and the gaze that looked at Valentine was intriguing.

Zhou Ai and Claire naturally didn't say much, Bai Yue came out of the crowd and asked, "Are you...... Seven out of sixty this year, right? ”

He used honorifics.

Valentine's mind was on Tang Fang, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said casually: "Does this have anything to do with you?" ”

"No, no." Bai Yue shook his hands vigorously: "I'm just curious about the state of mind of ordinary people when they get older, knowing that you are old and strong, and you still have that kind of impulse at your age, which inspires me a lot." ”

Valentine frowned. finally realized that there was something wrong with the way he spoke, swept over Clea, Zhou Ai and others, and immediately came to his senses, the corners of his mouth full of wrinkles twitched a few times, and he wanted to explain but felt that it was difficult to speak, and turned to look at Li Ziming, intending to let him do it for him, but he saw that the eyebrows of the goods were raised high. The facial features are squeezed into a big long bag, and he wants to laugh but doesn't dare to laugh. The appearance of suffocating the egg is extremely painful.

The old man felt that if he handed this matter to him, it might become a more ghostly description, because Li Ziming was very heavy-mouthed, and his hobbies were also very heavy-mouthed.

In the end, it was Roy and Yingluo who stepped forward to relieve the old professor and tell those who had not visited Behemoth's interior about Izsha.

Only then did Claire, Zhou Ai and the others come to their senses, and they looked at Captain Tang as if they were looking at a monster.

Bai Yue was suddenly very excited. When asked if Captain Tang could turn him into a creature like that, he thought that being a human being was really boring, and that as long as he stood from the standpoint of human beings, he could not objectively and fairly evaluate various human behaviors.

For Bai Yue's request. Tang Fang directly ignored it, because even if he agreed with the brain-dead boy's alternative ideas, there were no extra hero resources to use in the system space.

As for Valentine's side, he also declined after thinking about it, but said that he could provide some of the research numbers collected by Emma for the old man's reference.

Although he knew that Valentine had no ill intentions, he still did not want his subordinates to give people a real specimen.

He also did not ask for the wishes of Izsha himself, because in Tang Fang's opinion, such research was unnecessary, Valentin was just an idea based on personal interest, the research process was not important, the important thing was the result, the star rail command center kept the results of Izsha's tissue sample analysis, and gave him a copy of it.

After dealing with these two things, Behemoth was taken back into the system space, and Yuffe, Claire and the piloting crew were beckoned to enter the bridge of the Hercules transport plane, and instructed the pilots to observe the operation methods and details of the pilots of the transport plane, and then gave the order to set sail.

The Hercules transport plane slowly lifted into the air, the departure announcement resounded in all corners of the ship, and the crew found their seats one after another.

Although the Hercules transport aircraft is only 140 meters long, which is not as large as the "Morning Star", it is positioned as a transport aircraft, and there is no bloated and complex weapon system, and the addition of more than 200 crew members still seems very spacious.

A few minutes later, Hercules left the asteroid's gravity range, the pilot started the warp engine, and the seven propellers in the stern of the ship were agitated, the hurricane-like flames lit up the void, a little light flashed in the bow of the ship, and the transport plane disappeared in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the light turned into a halo and dimmed, the void returned to calm, and only the asteroid less than 100 kilometers away seemed to be an old man who was about to die, walking slowly and heavily.
