Chapter Seventy-One: Collecting Stars

The fleet's collection star is located in a remote edge of the Compass Galaxy, and the planetary system where it is located is originally surrounded by a dense layer of meteorite belts, and it is impossible for a spaceship to pass through this meteorite belt and discover this artificial planet.

But on the spaceship where He Lei was back then, the pioneer who served as the spacecraft pilot task was a Ma Daha!

Due to a miscalculation, he underentered two decimal places, causing the spacecraft to deviate from the team's pre-set target position when making a space jump, and accidentally crossed the meteorite belt outside the planetary system, accidentally discovering this steel planet created by a highly developed unknown interstellar civilization.

The unknown interstellar civilization that created this planet has obviously a much higher level of technological development than the current Exploration Vanguard Fleet, because the interstellar civilization that directly created a planet from scratch has not encountered one so far.

The fleet has visited the most technologically advanced interstellar civilization, and it is only a galaxy-level civilization that rules its entire galaxy.

However, this kind of galaxy-level interstellar civilization alone was beyond the comprehension of the Exploration Vanguard Fleet at that time.

Stars are no longer the main energy source used by this galaxy-level interstellar civilization, they can even use the black hole in the universe to absorb the energy needed by their own civilization.

But even with this level of technology, interstellar civilizations have not developed the ability to create a planet.

At most, they can only modify one planet, so that it can change its original planetary form and use it for different strategic purposes, which is still a long way from creating a planet.

After learning that He Lei had discovered this artificial planet, the Exploration Vanguard Fleet was sure that there was no life on this planet after repeated confirmation.

So the fleet spent countless manpower and material resources, sent warships to smash the meteorite belt outside the planetary system, cleared an interstellar route for the fleet to pass, and built an interstellar portal near the collection star for the fleet to easily travel to and from this planet.

At first, the chief captain wanted to use this planet as the base camp of the fleet, but out of fear of the interstellar civilization that created this planet, he quickly abandoned this dangerous idea.

Although after exploration, this planet has not had any life for tens of thousands of years, but if the interstellar civilization that created this planet suddenly appears on this planet that day, thinking that the Exploration Vanguard Fleet has occupied this planet, then it will be a big misunderstanding at that time!

So the fleet just treats this planet as an ordinary base, and sends all the ships that have been eliminated here for recycling.

Later, the fleet found that the planet was all made of a special metal substance, and its surface could withstand the fierce attack of the mecha particle cannon without any changes, so the fleet set up a mecha training base here.

Not only the second squadron of the Xuanwu Fleet, the first squadron of the Alpha Fleet, the fourth squadron of the pilot fleet, but also the escort squadron of the Invincible Fleet led by the chief captain all have mecha training centers here.

The planetary system where the collection star is located is very simple, there are only four planets orbiting around an aging star, and the collection star is located in the orbit of the second planet, and the old star here is what we collectively call the red giant.

Scientists from the fleet have explored the red giant star and found that the age of this star is about 2.5 billion years old, which is a short-lived ghost who can last for billions or even tens of billions of years compared to the stable young adults of other stars!

Later, the scientists of the fleet came to the most reasonable conclusion, that is, the star was created by the interstellar civilization that created the planet, and consumed too much energy in the creation of the planet, causing it to enter the star's old age prematurely.

However, the old age stars become larger than they are, so they also provide more sunlight and energy for the collector stars.

Because although the collection star is located in the orbit of the second planet of the red giant, the distance between them is very far, equivalent to the distance between Uranus and the sun in the solar system, about nineteen astronomical units.

In the normal age of this star, the light and energy emitted by it are not enough for the collection star to provide an ambient temperature suitable for human life.

And it is the intense light emitted by this fiery red giant star that makes the collection star reach a normal temperature, and under its illumination, the collection star also emits a bright silver light, which looks very dazzling.

"Wow! The effect of seeing this planet with your own eyes and seeing it in the video is just different! ”

Luo Cheng was lying on the hanging window of the spaceship and looked at the planet in front of him, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"yes, what a beautiful planet! What kind of interstellar civilization can do what the gods in myths and legends can do! ”

Luo Cheng hurriedly turned his head to take a look, and found that it was Captain Duan who came over at some point, and looked at the collection star hanging out of the window with his hands behind his back.

Seeing her tone and expression, she was full of love and awe for this planet.

"Captain Duan..."Luo Cheng hurriedly said.

"Your name is Luo Cheng, right? Very good! Captain Duan looked at Luo Cheng seriously and said something that made him scratch his head.

"Captain Duan, what do you mean by that? I don't understand! ”

"I don't mean anything else, it's just to praise you!"

Captain Duan patted Luo Cheng on the shoulder, and then walked away with a smile.

Luo Cheng scratched his head, he still didn't know why, and secretly said that he was either scolded by the captain all day long, or bullied by Wang Chuande and Duanmuqing, what could he boast about!

"Squadron leader, news has come from the Xuanwu Fleet that He Lei's squad has encountered the original defected Fearless Vanguard Squadron on a planet called Battle..."

At the same time, in Feng Jin's captain's room, his deputy was carefully reporting to him on He Lei's recent situation.

"Well, I see..."Feng Jin nodded casually while lying on his chair with his eyes closed, as if he had known in advance what was going on on He Lei's side, so he wasn't surprised at all.

Seeing that there was no movement on the deputy's side, Feng Jin opened his eyes and asked, "Then what?" ”

The deputy hurriedly replied: "Originally, He Lei's spaceship was about to be unable to hold on, and then the battleships of the Dreadnought Squadron seemed to have infighting with the battleships of Battle Star, giving Squadron Leader Qin Ke of the Xuanwu Fleet time and saving He Lei and them!" ”

Speaking of this, Feng Jin's deputy looked a little excited, and Feng Jin glanced at him lightly: "What?" He Lei didn't die at the hands of those fools, you seem to be happy? ”

Although this deputy didn't know what grievances there were between the newly appointed squadron leader in front of him and the captain named He Lei, he knew from his usual conversations that he hated He Lei to the core, and he wished that He Lei would die in his hands immediately.

So the deputy hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Squadron leader, I'm not happy, I'm just..."

Feng Jin ignored his deputy's explanation: "Hmph! Is there any news to report what He Lei is doing now? ”

"Yes, Ho Lei, they're going to go to the fleet's collection now..."

"What?! You repeat, where did they go now? Feng Jinke couldn't sit still at this time, and sat up straight all of a sudden.

The deputy hurriedly looked at the information from the terminal datar and found that it was not wrong, but he still corrected it: "Squadron leader, He Lei, they should have arrived at the collection star by now." ”

Feng Jin stood up, walked back and forth in the captain's room for two steps, looked a little anxious, and said secretly in his heart: What's the matter? Could it be that He Lei found something wrong and personally went to the collection star to investigate the matter of the "Advance" space kinetic energy core?

"Dong Can! Did the news say that He Lei went to collect stars, what did he do? ”

Dong Can shook his head: "No, the news only said that He Lei led his team and took the member of the second squadron of the Xuanwu Fleet to the collection star on the transport spaceship, but he didn't say what he was doing." ”

Feng Jin stopped and waved his hand at Dong Can: "Okay, there's nothing for you here, you can go out now!" ”

"Yes, Squadron Leader."

After Dong Can exited the captain's room, Feng Jin hurriedly turned on the communicator and called a name, which displayed the word "Sun Hao"...
