Chapter 318: Chain Reaction

After eight hours, the two starships of the Exploration 01 fleet led by Lu Fan finally entered the geostationary orbit of Planet X-26 and slowly began to fly synchronously with the rotation of Planet X-26.

The unmanned base on the planet below, covering an area of about thirty kilometers, is formed by the mobile expansion base developed by the Federation to expand and operate on its own, and because there is no use of ground-drilling techniques, the entire base is almost completely exposed on the surface of the planet.

In the cold world, the barren land, there is no sign of life activity, only the cold wind blows the frozen ice and soil as solid as steel, and only under the expansion base that cannot be seen by the naked eye, with the behavior detector, you can detect countless intelligent model people, who are busy and silently expanding new areas.

According to the current scientific standards, the 013th base of the Azure Galaxy has little use value, at best it is only a deep space base that can accept the temporary supply of small interstellar fleets.

Therefore, the arrival of the Exploration No. 01 fleet will not add much vitality to this base, and Lu Fan and his entourage only need to connect with the intelligent control center of the base to understand the environment of the surrounding star fields and whether there are any signs of unknown life activities.

Further on, the exploration fleet will go deep into the barren land relative to the humans of the Federation, and Base 13 of Planet X-26 may be the last human structure that Lu Fan and the others can encounter.

Before heading to the unknown deep space, it is necessary for the exploration team to get feedback from the surrounding star field information transmitted by the base probe, so as to determine which direction their next stop will be.

The Federation's most advanced deep-space radar system can explore the distance of about 80 light-years in the surrounding area at most. After stepping into the starry sky from the Federation of Atra, the humans established a vast kingdom. The monitoring of the starry sky has also been used to collect spectral data emitted by distant stars to determine the approximate starry sky environment.

This kind of technology takes a long time to complete the data collection work, and it is not achieved overnight. Therefore, the Unicorn takes several years of surveillance data from the base to analyze the exact path it takes to explore, which can save the exploration fleet many crooked paths and reduce the risk of getting lost in the stars.

Base 13 was established as a mobile expansion base launched by the Dark Moon Lord. From leaving the Darkmoon Collar. Until the landing on the X-26 planet began to expand, in which the human beings only input instructions to the base intelligence, and the entire process that followed was completed by the base intelligence automatically.

From launch to today. It has been more than four years since the establishment of the No. 13 unmanned base, and the amount of spectral information it receives from deep space is naturally very large, containing a large amount of useless information.

Lu Fan and his entourage, including all the members of the command center, and even Su Mei and Sunset. At this moment, they are all with everyone, quietly sitting by Lu Fan's side, waiting for the analysis results.

Exploring the starry sky, this kind of exciting thing, even Su Mei and Sunset, who have just arrived from the earth, can hardly hide their strong curiosity. Stalking Lu Fan asked them to participate in it, wanting to share the fun of this process.

Of course, the exploration of the starry sky is far more boring than the two girls imagined, and even much more boring, just a lot of analysis data is enough to make the two girls dizzy.

Exploring the 01 fleet, staying in the geostationary orbit of Planet X-26 is only temporary, and once the data is analyzed, the Unicorn starship and the scientific medical ship will leave this most remote place where humans have set foot and head to the distant unknown deep space.

The command center, including Lu Fan, all waited with bated breath for the data analyzed by the starship intelligence center to come out, and in about fifteen minutes, the starry sky positions where the rows of stars were located appeared in the holographic images on Lu Fan's command platform. …,

When the data appeared, it was naturally the most exciting moment, from the beginning of embarking on a distant star journey, to being told that they would follow the lord on a deep space expedition, the route map of the star that these shipboard personnel had been looking forward to was finally coming to an end.

Rows of data are summarized in the past, and the mood of several data analysts in the command center is also the most nervous, as every piece of data comes into view, and then it is excluded if it does not meet the requirements, the hearts of these analysts will beat wildly.

When the proven line appeared, the analysts were almost stunned by their own breath for too long due to the intense pressure, and then showed a stunned expression.

"Got it?" Lu Fan's sound of not being distempered or angry came, which made these analysts suddenly wake up, and blurted out: "There is ......"

"Send the data to the holostar map and let's see."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Voices fall......

A vast image of the starry sky appeared in the hologram, countless stars, marked by data one by one, and the most striking is a cursor representing the diameter line in the hologram, and the direction pointed to is occupied by a planet marked with bold yellow characters.

The whole journey is 522,000 light years, this is the distance analyzed by the starship intelligence, and the comprehensive data of the planet's position shows that just as the Dark Moon Leader Research Institute has judged for many years, the unknown starry sky that Lu Fan and they are about to go to is an interstellar river system that is completely unfamiliar to human beings, and the planet pointed by the cursor is precisely the closest star sign to the new river system, and it is also the shortest distance.

In the universe, due to the huge gravitational attraction in the center of the core of the river system, there are few adjacent connecting zones between river systems. Most of the void between the river systems is either a giant meteorite belt full of dangers, or a long void with almost nothing.

Each cosmic river system seems to be a kind of individual and independent life, mutually exclusive and pursuing the principle of mutual non-aggression, but it is like brothers and sisters born of the same womb, and there is a mysterious bond between each other from the mother's womb, that is, the mysterious large starry sky jump point.

What is the principle of the spatial bond formed between the river systems, even the Atlanta Federation, a great civilization that has mastered space technology, cannot judge the reason for its existence and the principle of its formation.

It's just that since ancient times, there has been this kind of hidden mysterious passage between the stars and rivers, connecting the distances that are far away and shortening the connection between them.

The mystery of the universe seems to be endless, and even an interstellar state like the Atlanta Federation has no way to find out the root of the universe, explore the vastness and profundity of the universe, and study the origin of birth......

The Federation, which has three river borders, is still only a drop in the ocean in the entire universe, and in front of countless galaxies, it is just an insignificant ant.

As a member of the Federation, it is undoubtedly a great deed to be able to discover a new river system and explore a starry sky that mankind has never set foot in in his lifetime, and it is also a blessing worth remembering for a lifetime!

With planetary coordinates and advanced Federation starships, they can use their jump engines to jump into the stars.

Of course, the Folding Space Jumping Technique is far less than the long distance of a large jump point that can directly jump across several river systems. However, it is precisely because of the folding space jumping technique that the interstellar civilization can travel the starry sky and explore the stars, break away from the narrow sight of sitting in the well and watching the sky, and open a new macroscopic world.

520,000 light-years, without the subspace jumping technique, even if humans use the hibernation capsule, they will not be able to reach the other side for a lifetime. In the universe, only a very small number of civilizations, such as silicon-based civilizations, races with almost endless life, can spend such a long time to cross the star path before they die. …,

Humans, at least for now, have not been able to evolve to such a long lifespan, and the emergence of the subspace jumping technique has ensured that humans with only short lives can also reach such a distant starry sky like a silicon-based civilization.

This is of course a scientific and technological means worthy of praise, and it is also Lu Fan's biggest assistant who dares to carry out the deep space exploration plan.

With more than four years of spectral feedback information coordinates, the distant stars have become less erratic, and the exploration of the 01 fleet, of course, also dares to use the subspace folding and jumping technique to carry out their own deep space exploration......

10, 9, 8, 7, 6...... Two, one!

The countdown to the electronic synthesis sound of the starship intelligence ended, and in front of the two large and small starships sailing at high speed in the pitch-black void, two ripple deep holes suddenly appeared strangely, and the two starships, in just an instant, penetrated into the two undulating void ripples and disappeared, leaving an endless quiet starry sky.

No, just as the Unicorn starship and the scientific and medical ship traveling together both penetrated the subspace passage and disappeared, in the originally dead and silent pitch-black nothingness, not far behind the place where the Unicorn starship disappeared, a giant beetle with a golden body gradually emerged from its hideous body.

If Lu Fan could witness all this, he would definitely blurt out: Golden beetle!

That's right, whether it is the appearance and color of the beetle or the shape of the limbs and heads, it is almost exactly the same as the golden beetle that Lu Fan once encountered and even almost lost his life.

But there are two differences, the appearance of this new golden beetle is much brighter than the one Lu Fan encountered, and the luster emitted around it is difficult to find, and the two golden compound eyes on its huge head, between opening and closing, the essence light implied is suffocating as if it has substance.

The golden beetle that floated out did not continue to track the unicorn starship that Lu Fan was riding, but quietly stood behind the unicorn, and watched the unicorn ripple through the void with golden compound eyes......

And at this moment, Oberding, who was standing behind Lu Fan, seemed to sense something, and his stiff face showed a rare weird smile, and after a show, he returned to normal...... (To be continued.)
