It may be a bit neurotic, but before leaving the suspicious asteroid, Pan Wen's fleet still made a few holes in the dead cells that sealed the puddle, allowing the water source to disappear on its own.

When it comes to making water disappear, one thing has to be said.

Before human society entered the galactic age, a large number of works involving space would describe objects exposed to space, such as human beings will freeze. However, this can only happen in the low orbit of a planet with an atmosphere, and further onwards, the vacuum itself is an athermic environment, and the loss of heat can only depend on the form of thermal radiation. There is not a complete vacuum in space, but the energy taken away by free particles is still almost negligible, and the cooling is actually very slow, as far as the human body is concerned, as long as there is no inward explosion due to loss of pressure, it takes about ten minutes to enter the freezing point.

On the other hand, the asteroid itself is in a good position relative to Perseverance, and the core temperature is above freezing. Anyway, most of the liquid water will escape into space due to the lack of asteroid gravity, and it will not leave much due to the relationship between ice, even if it is modified by suspicious cells, it will probably take some time to return to its current state, and it will not become a supply station for bugs in the short term.

The experimental samples obtained on the asteroid consisted of three parts, namely soil samples, water samples and dead cells covering the puddle, which were treated as special dangerous goods, and were sealed in multi-layer boxes outside the cabin, and the outermost box was made of steel for cabin repair and directly melted into a liquid state, and more than 1,500 degrees of metal liquid could not be mixed with any micro-living organisms. All three groups of samples were transported to Laboratory 6 after entering the isolation and disinfection area to cool down in this state.

In order to ensure 100% compliance with Pan Wen's requirements, the modification work of Laboratory No. 6 was divided into two parts, the first part was completed within two hours after the sample was in place, mainly the No. 6 Laboratory contained the air system, the complete sealing of the door, the addition of charging piles needed by the robot, and the original tempered glass observation area was closed in the form of radiation-proof tile and structural steel outside the laboratory. The second part of the modification will wait until the laboratory equipment customized for the completely confined environment is in place, and the second part will seal a chamber adjacent to the laboratory and open the door inside, while ensuring zero contact between the inside and outside.

By the way, there is also a thermal effect bomb left inside, which was modified by the technicians with a missile warhead, and once something goes wrong, the thermal effect bomb can increase the temperature inside the laboratory to more than 3,000 degrees in a few seconds in an oxygen-free environment, and the process of melting down the entire laboratory is barely enough to manage the terminal to close the passage connecting the laboratory and start the cooling system. In addition to bombs,

Under such a level of security control, it is useless for dead cells to fly after being reactivated in the laboratory, and the rest can be left to Doudou to do, as a smart host, when encountering difficulties, you can add the database to obtain more data, Pan Wen only needs to ensure the balance of the storage area.

After leaving CT156, the fleet returned to the combat zone, which is CT154.

Compared to the K1 galaxy of the KT star cluster, CT154 is the closest point to the CT nebula, and Pan Wen went farther first, also to avoid the jump circle of the blue country as far as possible, if there is really a battle with the bugs in the galaxy, and it has not been completely defeated, the blue country must be very busy when it enters the jump circle of CT154.

The first thing the fleet that completed the jump was to accelerate with its back to the star, the status of CT154 was unknown, Pan Wen was not willing to plunge into it, as long as there was speed, everything would be much easier.

The stars of the CT nebula are generally smaller, and the range of its gravitational well is naturally smaller, and the same is that other galaxies jump in, and the CT nebula will jump closer to the star, which can be understood as the entire tactical plane is one size smaller. Although the fleet sailed out as soon as possible, it was still not far enough away from the star to run into the human fleet in the process of acceleration.

I thought we would have to talk about a fight, but then the maneuver of the other side showed that Panvin's fleet was ignored by others - or was treated as his own family.

The encounter lasted thirty minutes and a million kilometers at the shortest distance, and the other party never changed the course or made encrypted inquiries about Pan Wen's fleet. There are very few fleets that are so careless, but because of this, Pan Wen noticed that maybe more people didn't realize that CT154 would appear in a fleet other than the Blue Country!

If you have the chance, maybe you can touch the fish?

The two fleets passed by without incident, and Pan Vin's fleet only reached cruising speed after that. When the cruising speed is reached, the fleet dares to balance the thrust and let the Golden start scanning the galaxy.

Because CT154 is the point of friction with bugs mentioned in the Blue Country program, Gold spent more time than usual collecting more scans and analyzing them simultaneously.

The results did not disappoint...... Maybe still a little disappointed. The reason why Pan Wen is very entangled is very simple, there are bugs here, but this is an area completely closed by the Blue Country, and if there are bugs, it is not his turn to let go of his hands and feet to do something.

Based on the results of preliminary analysis of the galaxy scan, it was determined that there were three large asteroids with a diameter of about 1,000 kilometers with both liquid water and organic matter reactions. It is difficult to have an atmosphere with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers, but if the density is large enough and the magnetic field is strong enough, it is not a big problem to keep water for tens of millions of years, and as for the original source, whether it is the cooling release of rocks or the impact of an ice core comet, there is no shortage of water in the whole of space. What's more, Pan Wen's talent has seen strange puddles of water in CT156, and the liquid water on the three target asteroids may be protected by a similar state.

With only the reaction of liquid water and observable organic matter, it can be determined that it is the territory of insects. Based on the performance of the bugs on the Helmer moon, they will rely on water sources to blanket the planet on a large scale, and only such a proportion of surface organic matter can be captured in galaxy scanning, and on asteroids of similar size, and without an atmosphere, the possibility of naturally occurring organisms spreading to areas outside the water source can be completely ruled out.

In addition to subjective judgment, the scan results also provide some corroboration, in the scanning and analysis that lasted more than two hours, there were constantly high-energy radiation points appearing and disappearing, and the energy level analysis was an obvious combat reaction.

The battle that broke out in a large area outside the main human society does not look like the behavior of self-employed people, just like Pan Wen himself, if he wants to fight on the side of Haimer, he must be concentrated in one or two million kilometers of Haimer Star and its surroundings, which is one size larger than Sesame Grain at most in the entire star system, whether it is to take advantage of the home field advantage or to protect personal property, the battle surface is impossible to spread. So the conclusion is obvious, it must be the guys from the Blue Country who are fighting something, and the space creatures with outrageous regenerative power such as bugs seem to be a good opponent.

Whether it is insects on the ground or in space, Pan Wen has already dealt with Haimer Star, and the swarm that can become a target has some one-sided advantages except for a small number of superpowers acting on its own body, and it is not easy to be detected from a distance, its comprehensive ability is still not comparable with human war machines, so the insects will definitely use the tactics of winning by quantity.

The opponent is a bug that wins by quantity, so no matter whether it wins or loses, it will be difficult for the existing warships of the human race to solve the entire battle in a short time, and it is more qualified to be swept to the combat reaction frequently by something like galaxy scanning with a low delay and frequency.

With the basic basis in hand, the next step is to take the fleet and see for yourself if it is the guy he is looking for. Insects are a general term for space-traveling creatures, and there are several species of insects in history that can interact with humans in battle, whether it is the group that Pan Wen needs to keep an eye on, it is impossible to rely on galaxy scanning, and can only get close to collect more information.

Pan Wen's expectations for this are still quite high, after all, he has indeed seen the ships of the Blue Country using covered plasma strikes on the Resistance Front, and the attack methods are exactly the same as the large war insects he encountered on Haimer Star, if it were not for special needs, it would be a bit of a waste of resources to restart this type of ship that had been eliminated a long time ago.

Considering the possibility of a huge swarm that could confront the entire Blue Nation's private forces, Pan Wen's fleet chose to distance itself from the ecliptic plane and get closer. The number of celestial bodies in the region outside the ecliptic plane has been approaching zero for a long time, and there are no civil aviation and passenger routes in the CT nebula, so there is no benefit to the production of natural dangers, and there is also a benefit, the density of free particles outside the ecliptic plane is slightly lower, and it is easier to accelerate here when it is necessary to run.

The idea was good, but the reality was a bit unexpected, and when the fleet crossed the warming point, it seemed to be immediately targeted by bugs.

The warming point can generally be understood as the boundary with the gravitational well obstruction area, the area away from the warming point is the jumpable region of hyperspace jumping, and the main gravitational zone is within the warming point, because of the demand for liquid, all the celestial bodies that can be modified are concentrated in the warming point, so the warming area of stellar energy is also the main tactical region of the galaxy.

Pan Wen's fleet was not directly attacked by the swarm, but after entering the warming point, the radar observed space debris many times, far and near, the most recent of which was only 300,000 kilometers.

300,000 kilometers, and there is not low brightness of stellar light in the warming region, theoretically any natural celestial object with a diameter of more than one meter can be directly captured by physical imaging, but in practice, no celestial body or entity has been captured.

If the stealth capability of human war weapons wants to achieve this effect at a distance of 300,000 kilometers, only small-volume unmanned equipment such as machine mines and certain high-cost special reconnaissance components can do it. However, because the working mode of the machine mine does not require an information chain, and it has no power itself, the radar and sensors cannot catch it, so the machine mine can be eliminated. As for the reconnaissance with an optical deception shell, it is really unlikely that it will appear here, and the cost of the optical deception shell is enough to pull out hundreds of reconnaissance arrays, and this cost is no longer suitable for use as a consumable in mobile combat, and is generally used as auxiliary equipment for permanent facilities.

If it's bugs, and they're using optical stealth to scout, it's a bit of a problem.

Either way, let's get rid of the scout ship and the overrun mech.

Perhaps it was the blind cat that touched the dead rat before the reconnaissance ship entered the forward position, and the spherical reconnaissance plane in the group of ultra-limited mecha in the position of escorting the reconnaissance ship captured a picture that lasted for several seconds: a long thing similar to the superpower acceleration war insect on the side of Haimer began to change almost at the same time as it was locked by the radar of the reconnaissance ship, and in less than a few seconds, its shape disappeared and took on the background of the starry sky.

It looks like a chameleon, but the simple simulation background effect in space is limited, and the comparison results of the flagship's star map show that the insect has no deviation from the star map displayed before the silhouette can not be captured completely, which means that the shape of its stealth is not refracted, there are two possibilities, one is that it really carries out complete optical stealth, and the other is that after capturing the radar signal, it simply uses the side facing the signal wave to project the reverse star map in a two-point and one-line way.

Unfortunately, after a few seconds of footage, the fleet did not capture any information about the subject until the fleet passed by the spot, and it is not known whether it ran away or stood still. Security beyond the ecliptic plane is safe, but the reference objects are all on the same side, and it is difficult to accurately locate in "meters" in other directions, and it is impossible to salvage this insect that should still have a physical existence, because even if it relies on inertial motion after stealth in order to avoid information leakage, the salvage range will affect the volume of a planet.

In short, the appearance of the stealth bug reminded Pan Wen's fleet that its own route was in the hands of the bug at any time, and the fleet started the combat duty sequence in advance in the passive state of information to avoid more accidents.

I don't know how many similar stealth reconnaissance points there are, if the range can cover most of the gravitational well, the main force of the bugs seems to be easy to hit the weak chickens they want to fight and avoid the large army, in such a state it is not a good idea to get close to any celestial body that can be used as a cover and ambush point, and the three target asteroids should be confirmed from a distance.
