Coming out of the jump tunnel, the "Shadow" released 100 small probes to carry out a dragnet search in an area of 10 million kilometers. Twelve hours have passed, and there is still no trace of the "Footsteps of the Gods" coming here.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Feng briefly told Yang Yi about the situation in the third war zone.

Although Zhan Ruilin has been hibernating most of the past five hundred years, relying on the authority he fought in the Fifth Greenwich War and his close relationship with the Hidden Spirit Royal Family, Zhan Ruilin's position in the Third War Zone is unshakable, even Du Wantu can't reach it. Under Zhan Ruilin, there are three generals, Du Wantu, Luo Zhenyu and Lin Xiaoting, and the three of them are at odds with each other.

In fact, Du Wantu, Luo Zhenyu and Lin Xiaoting are all rising stars.

All three were born after the war, Luo Zhenyu was the oldest, and Du Wantu was the youngest.

Luo Zhenyu was able to become the commander of the theater garrison because of the light of his ancestors, that is, Luo Zhenyu's great-grandfather Luo Zhanlie was Zhan Ruilin's confidant and favorite general, who led a regiment to defend the Wangxing Forward Base at the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, and finally died tragically. In his final correspondence, Zhan Ruilin assured him that he would treat the Luo family's heirs well. It is precisely because of this that the post of commander of the garrison force has always been in the hands of the Luo family.

The Lin family has not passed, and it was just an ordinary family before Lin Xiaoting. The Lin family was able to develop and grow and become one of the three major forces in the Third War Zone, all thanks to Lin Xiaoting. That is, Lin Xiaoting was the first person to successfully control the "Fire Phoenix" after the Fifth Greenwich War. It was Lin Xiaoting who successfully activated the "Fire Phoenix", which had been silent for 500 years, that Zhan Ruilin established the Special Investigation Brigade and appointed Lin Xiaoting as the first captain of the Special Investigation Brigade. After that, Lin Xiaoting spent nearly a hundred years of hard work to be promoted to general and transferred to the theater command. In a sense, Lin Xiaoting can have today because of Zhan Ruilin, so he has the closest relationship with Zhan Ruilin.

Duvan Tu is an alternative whose success is related to the largest local war since the Fifth Greenwich War, the "Battle for the Watch". In this war for the colonized planet, Du Wantu, as a staff officer of the fleet, commanded the fleet to defeat the army of the Flails after the commander and chief of staff of the fleet were killed one after another, and also captured the watch, opening up a vast territory for the Human Federation. Shortly thereafter, Du Wantu was promoted to rear admiral, served as chief of staff of the Third Fleet, commanded the fleet to win several small-scale wars, and was promoted to senior general and became commander of the fleet. Because the promotion of generals is under the control of the military department, the relationship between Du Wantu and the military department is extraordinary.

It can be seen that Luo Zhenyu's family background is the most abundant, but it is already rotten wood.

Although Lin Xiaoting has outstanding demeanor and outstanding military achievements, his family background is too thin, and he completely relies on Zhan Ruilin, so his strength and confidence are slightly insufficient.

Du Wantu has military exploits, has the support of the military department, and also holds real power, which can be said to be in full swing.

"The third war zone is in chaos like this, why doesn't Marshal Zhan Ruilin come forward to take care of it?"

"How?"

Yang Yi looked at Lin Feng puzzled, if he knew how to manage it, would he still ask?

"Nominally, all the armies of the Federation are under the command of the military department, but in reality, the nine major theaters are in their own positions, and it is difficult for the military department to speak." Lin Feng sighed and said, "This is the status quo left over from the Fifth Greenwich War, and no one can easily change it. The emergence and growth of Du Wantu is also the inevitable result of this situation. The military department has been trying to integrate the theaters, deprive the theater commanders of the command rights, and at least unify the nine theaters. Even if he knew that Du Wantu was ambitious, it was impossible for Lin Shuai to risk confrontation with the military department to deal with Du Wantu. As for Luo Zhenyu, the promise that Lin Shuai made in front of everyone back then naturally couldn't go back on his word. ”

"I can only support Lin Xiaoting."

"With a three-legged balance and a tripartite balance, at least the current situation can be maintained. Unless the balance is broken, Lin Shuai will not come forward to rectify it. ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly, understanding what Lin Feng meant.

"We're just small soldiers, and it's not our turn to think about these issues yet."

"yes, I'm thinking too much." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "To be honest, if I were you, I wouldn't have anything to do with the Luo family." ”

Lin Feng smiled reluctantly, thanking Yang Yi for his understanding, but he had nothing to say.

Eighteen years ago, Lin Xiaoting promised that marriage was also forced by the situation, and he regretted it afterwards, otherwise two years ago, when Lin Feng vowed to only marry the driver of the "Cold Ice and Snow Tiger", he would not have witnessed it on the spot, let alone let it go, I am afraid that Lin Feng would have been married long ago.

At this time, a light and shadow flickered, and Aaron appeared in front of the two.

"Colonel, second lieutenant." Alun is an artificial intelligence and knows how to read words and feelings, Lin Feng's attitude towards Yang Yi has changed greatly, and he is also much more polite to Yang Yi.

"Did you find it?"

"Two minutes ago, Probe 87 sent back a video, and then contact was lost."

Lin Feng's brows jumped a few times, and Yang Yi's expression became nervous.

Without Lin Feng's instructions, Aaron called up the video.

It is a small celestial body, that is, a meteorite with a large volume, and the photograph site is a little far away, and the celestial body is gradually getting larger, indicating that the probe is flying towards the celestial body. After about half a minute, the image shook violently, and disappeared as a shadow passed by.

"What's that?"

"A celestial body, or a spacecraft-class spacecraft." Aaron replays it, and freezes when the shadows appear.

Lin Feng frowned, stared at it for a while, and then looked at Yang Yi again.

"The celestial body?" Yang Yi's attention was on the celestial body.

"Celestial object No. 4447828, within the jurisdiction of Surveillance Post No. 4447, is 140 million kilometers away from the outpost. It is an E-class celestial body, with a long diameter of 170 km and a short diameter of 86 km, a mass of 2.467 billion tons, a molten iron structure, no atmosphere and geomagnetic field, and a surface gravity of 0.03 G......."

"Wait. Is it possible to determine the mass of a celestial object by the acceleration of the 87 probe? ”

"Wait a minute."

This kid has a pretty nimble mind. Lin Feng nodded slightly at Yang Yi in appreciation.

Yang Yi didn't feel proud, he didn't even pay attention to Lin Feng, he had a very bad premonition, because the No. 7777914 celestial body was also a molten iron structure, and it was about the same size as the No. 4447828 celestial body. Is this just a coincidence, or is there some kind of correlation between the two?

"Second lieutenant, the measured mass is 1.888 billion tons."

Yang Yi immediately frowned, and at the same time looked at Lin Feng.

"Beast's den?" Lin Feng whispered.

Yang Yi nodded and didn't say anything more. Only when the interior is hollowed out will the mass of the celestial body be reduced, which is the main manifestation of the invasion of the celestial body by the silicon beast.

"Aaron, adjust the course, activate the 'magic cloak' system, and fly in stealth."

"Understood."

"Get ready for the Flaming Phoenix, ...... when you arrive"

"Captain, be careful."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Yi.

"Our mission is to find clues to the Footsteps of the Gods and the Ice Tiger, not to deal with a den."

"You think the nearest surveillance post should be notified?"

"There is no need for this for the time being, and there is a beast den in the area where the 'Footsteps of the Gods' is missing, there is a very good chance that there is a connection between the two, we have to go and find out." Yang Yi paused slightly, and then said, "I just think there's no need to fight for a beast's den. If it has nothing to do with the 'Footsteps of the Gods', it is not too late to call the alert troops and ask them to send someone over to destroy the beast's den. ”

Lin Feng thought for a while, nodded slightly, and gave Aaron an order.

The Shadow began to accelerate, and at the same time, there were noticeable energy fluctuations on the surface of the ship, and after just a few seconds, the ship disappeared.

This is a reconnaissance ship, equipped with a "magic cloak" stealth device.

Using the "magic cloak", the "Shadow" can achieve visible light, infrared light, and energy field stealth, and because it is a small ship of 1,000 tons, the space distortion caused by the "Shadow" is minimal. The "Shadow" can be found only on S-class warships with high-precision space distortion detectors, as well as some high-level silicon beasts that are extremely sensitive to space distortion and extremely rare in nature.

"How do you know it's a den?"

"Guess."

Lin Feng looked at Yang Yi in disbelief, it was definitely not just a guess.

"Before being exiled, I served in the field detachment at post 7777. At that time, I followed the team leader to repair a detection device on a celestial body, unaware that the celestial body had been overrun by silicon beasts. The object was also a molten iron structure, and it was about the same size as this one. ”

"And then?"

"We were lucky enough to escape, but when we returned, the post was already under attack. In order to get back the news of the invasion of the enemy, we did not participate in the battle. During the retreat, it was attacked by enemy aircraft, and the ship was destroyed. I went into the escape pod with one of my teammates and woke up on Lava Star. ”

"So you're sentenced to escape."

Yang Yi smiled bitterly, he had nothing to say about it.

"This matter has nothing to do with the theater command, I have read the relevant materials." Lin Feng paused for a moment before saying, "The first to arrive was the Third Fleet, which was personally commanded by Du Wantu. In the report submitted by the Third Fleet, all the officers and men of post No. 7777 were killed. ”

"It's him!" Yang Yi clenched his fists and trembled with anger.

Noticing the change in Yang Yi's expression, Lin Feng was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "It's a pity that we can't prove that it was Du Wantu who did it. There is no conclusive evidence, let alone you, even if I ask my grandfather to come forward, I can't do anything to Du Wantu. He's the Admiral Commander of the Third Fleet, and you're just a minion. No one would accuse a creep of giving him a head out, let alone accuse him. ”

"I understand, thank you."

Lin Feng was stunned again, not knowing why Yang Yi wanted to thank her.

Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and didn't explain much.

Although Lin Feng was right, Yang Yi couldn't bring down Du Wantu with one-sided words, but he finally knew who the enemy was and who to find for revenge.
