In a few short hours, Pan Wen's fleet "passed by" the two systems of K3 and K1 very safely, and Pan Wen was also at the selection node when the Golden was processing the scan data of the K1 galaxy.

From K1, there are three directions to choose from.

First, returning the same way, which is the least risky, and even resisting the trouble of the front, Pan Wen also thought of a corresponding way.

Second, if you go back to K2, the capital of the blue country, K2 may have fewer garrisons than the border hub, but it may be the area with the most frequent player activity outside the border, and if you don't check it for a while, you may get into a lot of trouble.

The last route is what Pan Wen wants to try - go to the Clock Tower Nebula, which is also known as the CT galaxy according to the basic galaxy classification.

Different from the KT star cluster and the MR star cluster, the CT star cluster does not belong to the human sphere of influence, because the blue sphere of influence contains the three jump points of K1, K2, and K3, in fact, blocking the news from the "bridge" to the human main society, whether there is a higher level of intelligence no one knows, so the risk is unknown.

During the jump, Pan Wen did a little preparation, received some local TV signals and sent them to the lilies in the fleet to filter, and so far, there are indeed two programs that were highlighted an hour ago that mention the CT bugs, which became the last straw that influenced Pan Wen's decision.

The TV show did not involve the direct shooting of the bugs, and I did not find the confirmation of the official program for the time being, but the credibility should be okay. The reason is that people on the ground and even most of the astronauts will regard the matter about insects as an after-dinner conversation, after all, although the first war between humans and insects lasted for a long time, it is an indisputable fact that mankind won the final victory and won a large territory. It's been so long, and it's unlikely that the average person would believe that the bug would remain a threat before the warship that has been updated for generations, unless there is news of the official fleet's war defeat, otherwise it is all marginal news of entertainment.

Through the analysis results of the galaxy scan, it can be roughly determined that there are no large-scale pirates and resistance groups in the territory of the blue country, indicating that the territory of the country remains basically stable. And players need leveling points, the frequency of battles between the two galaxies of the resistance front is a bit insufficient, if the CT Nebula has another leveling point, it seems to make sense that the blue country is conservative and does not actively develop neutral battlefields.

Pan Wen's fleet wants to go to CT Nebula, there are two risks, the main part is the private armed forces of the blue country that are rubbing with bugs, probably a group dominated by players, and his fleet is a little lonely to go there, and it is a high probability event to get into trouble.

In addition, in the densely populated areas of the MR galaxy and the countries surrounding the Resistance Front, there are suspicions that the blue country's sphere of influence may have taken root in the CT Nebula, which means that there is a possibility of an official fleet. However, these skeptics do not have enough evidence to prove that the Blue State uses human cloning technology on a large scale, according to this line of thinking, even if the Blue Country downloads the CT Nebula in a state without human control to do some development, it will at most get some resource stars. In fact, it will be easier for the relevant businessmen to judge this matter, because with the scale of the blue country and the fact that it basically has no communication with the human forces in the outside world, as long as a few mineral stars are developed, there will be obvious overcapacity and prices will continue to deviate from the value.

In Pan's own judgment, it is unlikely that Lan Guo will make much engineering progress on the CT nebula, and his argument is in a bit odd direction, arguing that the results are caused by the characteristics of the CT nebula itself.

The reason why the CT nebula is called a nebula, unlike the MR system and the KT system, is called a star cluster, because it is different from the state of the two, at least half of the stars in the CT nebula are not lit up at this stage, and the lit part is mostly small stars with insufficient quality, they cannot provide enough gravity to complete the nebula cleaning action in the star system, the direct result is that the star affiliated objects over there are small, and the objects with development value are too low in distance density, which is also the main reason why human society did not expand to the CT nebula in the era of great development.

Under this characteristic of the CT Nebula, there is only one development strategy left for the blue country, which is to select a galaxy within a jump threshold for large-scale artificial environmental improvements, and the purpose of the improvement is to maintain a certain material demand and be at least equal financially, so as not to become a burden on the development chain. Because as the distance continues to deviate from the main human society, the decrease in the demand for goods and services will cause some materials to lose the meaning of cross-galaxy acquisition, coupled with the rising cost of materials returning to the main society, and the possibility of ships encountering unpredictable risk events in the fringe area, etc., the development cost will increase exponentially with the increase of the jump critical multiple.

In fact, MR251, Pan Wen and a few other guys join in the fun of the Haimer galaxy is a similar situation, it happens to be the only landing point in the jump critical value from MR250 when human society extends outward, and 251 to 255 have not been able to quickly transform into a primitive celestial body of large-scale habitation, so the large-scale development was interrupted there, and when the situation is settled, the national-level forces want to slowly transform and expand outward, and they have to look at the faces of the surrounding neighbors, so there is an opportunity for "pioneers".

In short, if the blue country wants to extend its power in the CT nebula, it can only transform the past one galaxy by one, and for the blue country, the time when the space civilization has developed to the present is enough for it to develop a galaxy. Of course, it is possible to extend first and then develop regardless of the cost, but in that case, the blue country should not be able to support so many private armed forces at this stage.

The possibilities and risks were assessed, and Pan Wen finally decided to check it out. The idea that the blue country wants to assimilate all mankind is too bizarre, and it is impossible to see the possibility of being recognized by the main body of human society in the short term, and the information blockade caused by it as a barrier will become the strongest shield in the development of insects, and if you don't go there in person, it is impossible to assess when the insects will become a real threat.

Although Pan Wen didn't know enough about the bugs under the other manager, he at least knew what kind of bugs were needed to expand the war across the galaxy in light years, as long as he could confirm the presence or absence of big bugs, and if so, he could roughly calculate what kind of defense system could withstand after evaluating the number.

Less than two hours after the decision was made, Pan Vin's fleet had already arrived at CT156.

…… Why is 156 not 1 or two digits, then you have to ask the scientists of the year, this may have to be traced back to the last era, I don't know if the player or the regulator made it.

The channel from K1 to CT156 is not the only bridge between the CT Nebula and the KT Cluster, to be precise, because K1, K2, and K3 can all jump to two to five galaxies of the CT Nebula, there are more than a dozen similar routes, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of being pressed to death in the jump circle when cutting into the CT cluster. However, in order to ensure safety, Pan Wen still jumped one more stop, CT156 is not the galaxy with bugs mentioned in the show.

Before heading to the target galaxy, Gold scanned CT156 for the galaxy.

CT156 already has significant CT nebula characteristics, because the stars are too small, although they have been lit up for countless years, there is still dust in space, and as the gravitational well weakens, the density of the periphery will be higher, and the celestial bodies inside are mainly asteroids with a diameter of less than 30 kilometers, and it is great if they are larger than 100 kilometers, they are all in a stable orbit and there is no lava body, that is, the impact incidence is almost zero, Further growth of the object is likely to depend on the gravitational equilibrium of large or gravitationally combined objects with sufficient mass from extragalactic invasions, and the probability of this happening is almost negligible.

Unlike MR241, the density of the nebula in 241 is more even, and collisions between large and small celestial bodies are commonplace, as long as the impact frequency does not decay abruptly, at most one or two hundred years later, celestial bodies that can retain surface gas with their own gravity will appear, and the speed of nebula dissipation will be greatly accelerated.

Similar galaxies are suitable for mines, pure mines, and if you want to transform them into a living, economic, and industrial community, you need to invest more than one or two points.

The Pan Wen fleet, which had no plan to stay, temporarily canceled the jump program due to the very unexpected scan results, and diverted to the suspicious area.

CT156 only has a diameter of more than three kilometers, and there may be more than 100,000 celestial bodies, plus small ones, the amount of data is very huge, fortunately, the second host Doudou is an intelligent host, and can filter the key points with human-like logic, and she found a very suspicious thing - water.

Water is one of the most resources in space, but the water that is specifically proposed in the spectral analysis only refers to liquid water, which generally requires the atmospheric greenhouse effect to exist, otherwise it needs a hot core, obviously with the state of the CT156 galaxy, there is no size that can meet the needs of the two environments.

"Captain, the engineer has found organic matter cells, but not living ones." A few hours later, the correspondent returned the favor.

The asteroid in front of you is very weird, it has a crater, or a lake? There was liquid water in the pit, and the surface of the water was covered with an anomalous substance, the dead organic matter cells mentioned in the report just mentioned.

Water, thunder, and nitrogen are the natural conditions for the formation of basic organic matter, and non-carbon-based organisms may be able to bypass lightning and nitrogen and rely on sulfur and geothermal energy to complete the steps, but fluid as a carrier of organic matter prototypes cannot be avoided, because without fluids, there is no possibility of binding with the relative position of organic matter, not to mention evolution.

In short, it means that there must be water first, and then there will be cells, and the asteroid will definitely not be able to retain water before the organic matter cells die, so what is now in front of Pan Wen is an asteroid modification case, if it is the artificial behavior of the blue country, then it is understandable, but there is no trace of docking of engineering equipment around the puddle. By the way, by the way, because there is no gas, the docking traces will not be artificially eliminated, and a million years will be the same.

"Did you find anything alive?" Pan Wen directly connected to the call of the multi-functional engineering ship outside and talked to the technician.

The instinct of living beings is to follow the changes in the environment, and they can actively change the environment across space, which are collectively called alien insects in the great galactic era.

"No observable organisms have been found, and our equipment cannot make microscopic observations outside, so we need to take samples back on board for study."

"Sampling......" Pan Wen was silent after hearing this, and did not answer immediately.

He was a little hesitant to directly face the alien cells, in addition to the reason that he was very insecure, the various strange abilities of the alien insects were also taboo to him, according to the information, when the humans and insects were in war, there were basically no living people in the ground troops who had contact with the aliens, and death in battle was only one of the causes of death.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Pan Wen released the button, temporarily disconnected the two-way dialogue, and asked Doudou's projection in the corner of the command platform: "Doudou, I want you and your robot to be responsible for a full set of closed experiments, and the requirement is that no gene fragment can flow out of the laboratory, can it be completed?" ”

"Captain, in order to fulfill your request, I want to make some modifications to the shipboard laboratory. According to your conversation, the target of the experiment is the cell body, and the modified lab needs to customize two pieces of equipment to complete the entire experimental project. ”

Doudou is intelligent and anthropomorphic, but she is first and foremost a professional host, and since she said she can do it, there is no need to worry about safety.

Pan Wen raised his hand to zoom in on the projection of the ship, marked the location of several laboratories, and nodded: "With Laboratory No. 6, you can start the transformation now, and if there is any accident in the process, you will be allowed to directly melt down the laboratory after the accident reconfirmed by me or Deputy Captain Nadezhda." ”

There seem to be a lot of laboratories on the Gold, but in fact, most of them are multi-functional, some need to act as operating rooms in emergencies, and some are industrial assistants serving hangars.
