Hao Ren thinks he is a visionary - well, not necessarily, at least a visionary.

The last time he left the Dream Plane, he made some random arrangements, but at the time he didn't expect them to be used to find someone one day. At that time, he was exploring the starry sky of the dream plane and drawing a star map for future actions, so he ordered the Giant Tortoise Rock to release a batch of self-proliferating probes. The detectors are able to replicate themselves as needed and think networked with guò faster-than-light antennas. They will plan their own optimal exploration plans, constantly moving into the depths of the universe, plotting all the celestial objects they encounter along the way on star maps, and building small observatories at intervals to maintain this advanced drone network.

The working mode of these probes is to first send a group of high-speed individuals to quickly scan the starry sky, and then send high-precision individuals to gradually fill in the blank parts of the scanning area, so that Hao Ren can grasp the distribution of celestial bodies in a large area of the dream plane in the shortest possible time.

Obviously, after this drone swarm has been operating for a period of time, the first thing that comes back is a set of superficial star maps, which only include the distribution numbers of major celestial bodies within a certain range, and it is not so easy to specifically scan those celestial bodies for traces of life, which requires follow-up slow detectors for accurate observation. So far, the drone swarm released by Hao Ren is only carrying out preliminary work such as sketching, and has not yet carried out the steps of detecting life, and it was not until a few days ago that the drone swarm sent the first star map back, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The fastest probes have mapped stars in billions of light-years – centered on the planet Halletta.

The number jù terminal called up the rough star map, looking for a point in its range, and could observe the starry sky consistent with the memory of the wrath.

Nangong May waited nervously and anxiously beside her. Nangong Sanba also broke away from the device and followed the progress of the matter with his sister - it seemed that he was lucky to escape the punishment of the invincible windmill this time. Hao Ren comforted them: "Don't worry, those drones have been expanding outward. They scan a wide range, even if there are no eligible star maps this time. It won't take long to find it in the future. ”

May gently rubbed Hao Ren's trouser leg with the tip of her tail: "It's okay, we've been waiting for more than a hundred years." ”

The door to the room slid open silently, and Lily cautiously slipped in with the freshly washed cat girl, the stupid cat's hair still a little wet, and she and Lily were both half wet in their clothes - it seemed that bathing a cat was not easy.

"What is this doing?" The husky spirit found that the atmosphere at the scene was strict, and immediately swallowed the "whoosh" that had just jumped into his throat, and then pulled Hao Ren's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Roll" grimly washed his face with his paws while helping to explain: "I must be looking for dried fish for me." ”

Hao Ren touched his head, and just wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the number of terminals: "...... The machine finds a place with a high probability. But ......"

Nangong Sanba's face was impatient: "But what? ”

The holographic projection is turned on, and it shows an empty expanse of space, which is the image from the dream plane of a probe: "There was a drone that drew these images while traveling through the starry sky, and the positions and characteristics of these stars were consistent with the memories of the wraith, but the problem was ...... There are no celestial bodies in this place. ”

"No celestial bodies?!" Nangong May exclaimed, and then quickly thought of something, "Could it be ...... My parents were sent to space? ”

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, spatial teleportation usually chooses something with mass as the landing point first, which is caused by the disturbance of gravity in space. But it's a bit strange at the moment...... There are no celestial bodies here. There was only a cloud of embers, and it seemed that there had been a big explosion many years ago. The intelligence transmitted back by the drone is limited, and this is only how much the machine knows. ”

Hao Ren stared at him for a long time and didn't say a word, and finally could only touch May's shoulder: "Don't worry." At least your parents weren't teleported into the sun, were they......"

Lily squinted at Hao Ren: "How many times has the bat reminded you, don't comfort people as much as possible, your mouth is not twitched most of the time." ”

Hao Ren opened his mouth in embarrassment: "Okay." Let's not think about it so much, let's go to the place and see the actual situation. In any case, the star map does not lie. The Wraith must have been to that place, so let's go back and talk to the others. As far as you can, you can set off to the dream plane to confirm it. ”

The Nangong brothers and sisters looked at each other speechlessly, nodding silently, and now they are not in the mood to say too much.

The atmosphere was stiff, and even the stupid cat next to her was obediently quiet, and the cat girl found a place that was out of the way and squatted carefully, wiping her face with her paws, while muttering: "The big cat is unhappy, then I don't want the little fish to dry......"

After that, there was nothing to say all the way, and Hao Rentong explained the situation to Galazor through the spacecraft communicator, and then directly started the space jump and returned to Earth.

When they returned home, it was already night on Earth, Elizabeth and Itzhax had gone to sleep, and Vivien was the only one in the living room humming and knitting a scarf and watching TV. The vampire girl saw everyone coming out of the basement, looked up and greeted with a smile: "Coming back?" Do you want to eat something? I made gluten soup in the evening. ”

Hao Ren waved his hand to indicate that he had eaten outside, and then sat down next to Vivian: "The memory of the angry spirit has been unraveled, and there is the whereabouts of Nangong's parents." ”

"Huh? This is a good thing," Vivian stopped what she was doing, and saw that the expression on Hao Ren's face seemed to be quite content, "Is there an accident?" ”

"Maybe somewhere on the dream plane, those drones I released earlier just happened to find a star sector with a high probability," Hao Ren told Vivien about the situation, "...... The problem is that there aren't any celestial bodies in that place. ”

"Then it looks like we'll have to go over and check the situation," Vivien put her finger to her chin, "Let's leave tomorrow?" ”

Hao Ren glanced at the Nangong brothers and sisters: "Have a good rest today, let's leave tomorrow." ”

The next day, the two of them learned about the memories of the wrath and offered to go with them to help find someone. Considering that this time he was driving a spaceship, and that some of the personnel could stay on the spaceship if the situation required it, Hao Ren decided to bring all his family members with him this time, including cats and fish. In this way, he also saves himself from worrying about the trouble and damage that may be caused by the bear child's housekeeping. Before leaving, he said hello to Raven 12345, and after confirming that there was no task scheduled for the time being, he set off with his team.

The Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace was rapidly moving through the vast expanse of space, distant starlight casting a vague halo on the ship's silver-white shell, and the ship was rapidly approaching its destination according to the navigation signals left by the detection drones.

With zero .3 light-years left at its target, the ship performed a temporary slowdown, detaching itself from its chrono state and moving closer to a small silver-white building in space.

The structure was small, only one-third the size of the Giant Tortoise Rock, and looked like a stubby tower stretched across space, with four symmetrically spaced crystal plates suspended at the top, and a number of small floating batteries could be seen around the building—the latter being the defensive force of the small outpost, sufficient to deal with the average wandering celestial body and invaders, if any. In the event of a greater threat, the entire outpost will jump away: after all, it is only a broadcast antenna, and there is no need to go head-to-head with the enemy.

This outpost is one of the results of the drone swarm that Hao Ren released before. As the drones continue to move into the depths of the universe, they are also building a huge network, and they are multiplying themselves while looking for suitable celestial bodies in the universe to build production bases, and at the same time, they will also build signal relay stations in space according to a strict and elaborate blueprint, which is the kind of facility in front of them.

Together, these things work to form a swarm of drones that operate autonomously. Although there are very few things that this simple, low-tech drone can do, they are quite useful to the censors who carry out the pioneering mission.

A beam of light from the Giant Turtle Rock Platform connects to the small outpost, directly reading the latter's recent observations, and the crystal plate at the top of the outpost also changes direction and points to the depths of space, making contact with a drone that is hurrying through the starry sky, relaying distant information to its owner.

On the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, the number of terminals relayed the observation report from the outpost: "Two probes have been ordered to return to provide us with more accurate constellation navigation of this area. No celestial objects have been found in the target area...... But there is a pile of ashes. ”

"Ashes? What ashes? Vivien asked curiously.

"Sun's." (To be continued......)
