Zhou Xin only glanced at the screen, and found the anomaly reported by the Voyager. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the planet's surface, one of the two pale black rings that were originally evident near the equator has disappeared, leaving only a lonely ring dotted on the north side of the equator. However, the ring to the south was gone, but there was a dark shadow in an area south of the equator. This dark shadow was formed by the gathering of the aircraft in the southern ring belt before.

"What are they trying to do?" After seeing clearly what the black shadow was made of, Zhou Xin asked in surprise, "Could it be that this group of people in the south wants to attack now?" As Zhou Xin spoke, more flying machines were flying towards the black shadow.

Not long after the black shadow in the south appeared, the ring belt in the north also began to change, in a short period of time, the flying machines that formed the ring belt dispersed, Zhou Xin saw that these flying machines seemed to be gathering towards the same place, and it didn't take long for a small black spot to appear in the symmetrical position of the black shadow in the north of the equator and the black shadow in the south, and as time went by, this black spot became larger and larger, and finally approached the size of the black shadow in the south. With the equator as the axis, the two black shadows formed a tendency to fight each other, and it seemed as if a major war was about to break out.

"What the hell are they trying to do?" Zhou Xin asked repeatedly, and then he whispered to himself, "Is the big war about to begin?" ”

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no new movement in the two black shadows on the screen, and the flying machines just gathered together quietly, and none of them tried to cross the dividing line of the equator to invade each other. The two black shadows seemed to have appeared on the planet for a long time, and their shape and size did not change.

Zhou Xin looked at the scene on the screen without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something, and his face showed a puzzled expression. After being silent for a while, Zhou Xin was about to speak, when the calm scene on the screen suddenly changed.

The dark shadow to the south shrank slightly, then suddenly began to accelerate, and the flying machines began to rush straight in the same direction. Seeing the flying direction of those aircraft over there, Zhou Xin was surprised again, they did not rush to the other side of the equator as Zhou Xin thought, but flew straight in the direction of the probe.

"We've been discovered!" This was Zhou Xin's first reaction, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, only a few probes were arranged in the direction of the flight of the aircraft group, and the Voyager was even hiding on the other side of the planet, and the people below couldn't make a big deal about it for a few probes. However, he couldn't think of the purpose of these flying machines for such a large-scale action suddenly, and he suddenly showed a confused expression.

And the group of aircraft in the north now is estimated to feel similar to Zhou Xin, just when the aircraft in the south suddenly began to move, the aircraft in the north of the equator had a tendency to accelerate in the direction of the equator in an instant, but this trend stopped in just about a second. After discerning the direction of the southern aircraft, the northern aircraft paused slightly and began to chase in the same direction. It can be seen that the people on the circular continent did not expect the movement of the southern aircraft at all, and Zhou Xin obviously saw that the team of the pursuing planes was slightly scattered, but they had finally caught up with the pace of the southern group of aircraft. As if they were running, the northern aircraft followed the southern ones.

At this time, in order to avoid the incoming team of aircraft, the probe began to move its position, and the camera deflected slightly, flashing something in the corner of the screen. However, Zhou Xin's attention was on the two groups of flying machines in the center of the screen, and he didn't notice anything else flashing on the screen at all.

However, Dart next to him noticed the change in the corner of the screen, at first, he didn't quite understand what these flying machines wanted to do, just like Zhou Xin, but after seeing the thing that flashed by, he seemed to understand.

"Flotilla." Dart opened his mouth to break the silence of the command module, and seeing Zhou Xin looking at him suspiciously, Dart explained in detail: "I mean, the target of those flying machines is the fleet that set off from the space building. As he spoke, he asked the Voyager to turn the camera of the probe to the back of the previous lens, and before the camera of the probe was completely turned around, Zhou Xin saw the existence of the fleet on the screen.

Looking at the fleet that appeared on the screen, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "It seems that these flying machines in the south want to protect the landing of the fleet, while the flying machines in the north just saw the defensive reaction of the large-scale actions of the southern flying machines, so the two sides acted so strangely before." ”

At this time, the people in the north also seemed to see the purpose of the sudden abnormal behavior of the southern aircraft, and their aircraft, after chasing for a while, stopped in place, observing the movements of the southern aircraft that continued to fly upwards, and found that they did not care about the pursuers behind them, but kept flying upwards all the time. After stopping and observing for a while, the northern aircraft did not continue to catch up, they fell back to their original orbital altitude, and after a while, the black ring band in the north direction of the equator reappeared.

After receiving the report from the Voyager, Zhou Xin gave a good evaluation to the civilization on the circular continent: "Very good, the civilization on the northern continent actually does not harm enemy civilians. If the aircraft of the Northern Continent launch an attack in this situation, the aircraft of the Southern Continent will definitely not be able to take care of the battle while protecting the spacecraft, but the people of the Northern Continent have not involved the civilians of the other side in the battle, which is not bad, it is commendable. ”

After evaluating the civilization of the northern continent, Zhou Xin no longer paid attention to the movements of the group of flying machines in the north, but focused his attention on the flying machines that continued to fly upward, to be precise, the flying machines flying towards the fleet.

In the footage of the probe, the group of aircraft has already crossed the height of the probe, appearing in the corner of the screen opposite the fleet, unlike the fleet that is moving slowly, the aircraft move very fast, the fleet has only moved a short distance on the screen, the aircraft has already flown a quarter of the screen, at this speed, the two will meet within half an hour.

According to Zhou's normal thoughts, after the aircraft met with the fleet, the next step was to escort the flight and landing. Looking at the current situation, none of the flying machines of the Circular Continent continued to catch up, and there were no other enemies in the vicinity except for them, so the work of these flying machines was estimated to be just a routine matter, but Zhou Xin still had a doubt, "Why would so many flying machines be sent on the Triangle Continent to meet the fleet?" Almost all the aircraft orbiting have been mobilized, aren't they afraid that the other side will take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack? Even if they had to mobilize so many flying machines in order to guard against the other party at the beginning, after the flying machines of the Northern Continent retreated, why didn't they withdraw some flying machines, were they really so relieved of each other? ”

He didn't express the doubts in his heart, just silently looked at the picture on the screen. And the other people in the command cabin didn't have any other opinions, they either turned their attention back to what was in front of them, or they just looked at the screen quietly like Zhou Xin, only Dart, his face showed the same puzzled look as Zhou Xin, the puzzled look lasted for a while, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

On the screen, the distance between the aircraft and the fleet is still getting closer, and everything looks normal. However, just when Zhou Xin thought that today was another false alarm, what happened next shocked him, including everyone in the command cabin.

In the beginning, both the aircraft and the fleet kept moving at their own speeds. However, after twenty minutes, the craft began to slow down when it was still some distance away from the fleet.

"The aircraft seems to be slowing down?" Zhou Xin saw this from the screen before he heard the Voyager's report, and he muttered to himself.

"The probe detected that the swarm of aircraft was slowing down, and now they are advancing at half the speed of the previous one." The Voyager's report allowed Zhou Xin to confirm this.

Regarding the deceleration of the aircraft, Zhou Xin just felt a little strange and did not have too many doubts, he only thought that this was the normal procedure of the two sides before the rendezvous. Therefore, not long after the aircraft slowed down, and the fleet also began to slow down, Zhou Xin took all this for granted.

As the two sides continued to approach, their speed became slower and slower, and in less than ten minutes, the two sides stopped at a distance. At this time, Zhou Xin felt a little strange, and he found that the fleet's spaceships not only stopped, but even the engines were all turned off, leaving only a few small spaceships behind them that were still emitting a faint blue light, but they only stayed in place, not daring to move forward, and most of the entire fleet was only left with faint lights, which looked very strange at a glance.

"What are they doing?" This time, Zhou Xin finally couldn't help it and asked.

"It's a routine check." Dart guessed, "The situation on the planet is so tense on the surface, in order to prevent the other party's spies from mixing in the fleet, the inspection is not too strict." ”

"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded in agreement with Dart's opinion.

However, both the aircraft and the fleet remained in place for a long time, and Zhou Xin still did not see any signs of movement on either side, and the aircraft blocking the front of the fleet did not disperse into the fleet for inspection, as Dart said, nor did they separate the road for the fleet to pass, and the development of the matter unexpectedly reached an impasse.

Nearly twenty minutes later, Zhou Xin finally saw a change in the fleet on the screen, and in the fleet, more than a dozen small ships that had turned off their engines had restarted. However, they did not fly in the direction of the planet as Zhou Xin expected, some of the small ships turned with difficulty between the gaps of the large ships, and after turning around, they returned in the direction they came from, while other small ships on the periphery of the fleet were more direct, they directly separated from the fleet, and after rowing a semicircle around the periphery of the fleet, they also returned along the way they came.

"Looks like these ships are spies who want to follow in." Zhou Xin said with a clear face.

"But you see, why do the aircraft at the front of the fleet let these ships escape and not pursue?" Dart asked, confused.

"Maybe they don't think it's necessary." Zhou Xin also noticed this, and he replied disapprehantly.

Although he still had some doubts about the attitude of the flying machine in his heart, seeing that Zhou Xin said this, Dart didn't say anything more, but quietly watched the development of the situation on the screen.

After having these dozen spaceships to take the lead, some other spaceships also began to act, in the footage of the probe, one after another spaceships left the fleet, most of these spaceships are small spaceships, only two are medium-sized spaceships with a length of nearly 100 meters, as for those large spaceships, they all stopped quietly in place, without any movement at all.

"Why are there so many spy ships?!" Seeing that there were nearly a hundred spaceships leaving one after another, Zhou Xin was surprised, and when he saw that a medium-sized spaceship on the periphery of the fleet also began to turn around, his expression was even more surprised, "How can there still be medium-sized spaceships leaving, could it be that the whole ship of people are spies?" ”

"Something is wrong." After seeing the medium-sized spaceship in action, Dart's face also changed. But he couldn't explain what was going on on the screen right now, and now he stared at the screen nervously, paying attention to the development of events.

Just after the two medium-sized spaceships left the fleet, and then although they still saw the spacecraft leave from time to time, the number was significantly less than before, and after more than ten minutes, the commotion in the fleet finally subsided completely, and then Zhou Xin never saw any spacecraft trying to break away from the entire fleet. After no more ships left, the formation of the entire fleet slowly shrank inward, and all the ships came together, more closely aligned than before. However, Zhou Xin's attention was focused on the side of the aircraft, so he didn't notice the changes in the fleet.

It has been nearly half an hour since the group of aircraft stopped in front of the fleet, and although a lot of things have happened in the fleet in the process, the aircraft still stay in place and there is no movement. Just when everyone was paying attention to the actions of the aircraft, they didn't expect that the next big team to take the lead was still a huge fleet......
