July 31, 2206, Brutal Star.

The formation of thermo-Jupiter requires enough time and environment, and in the process of the gradual migration of giant planets to stars, various celestial bodies in the galaxy are swallowed by the giant planets without exception.

The galaxy is so devoured that not even a single asteroid can be found, and it won't be long before hot Jupiter is absorbed by the stars, and the only remaining celestial bodies here are stars.

Such a star deserves to be named Brutal Star.

The Yangtze River hid like a fish with a hidden bottom in the tail of a comet of Hot Jupiter, silently staring at some airspace outside the galaxy.

According to the repeated calculations of the ship's computer, the time for the appearance of the giant beast is not far away, and although the battleship is almost full of fuel, the Yangtze River is still seizing the time to separate hydrogen isotopes.

Ye Fei felt that although the environment here was a little empty, it was definitely a good place, and in the future, it was possible to build a space station dedicated to collecting hydrogen isotopes, as a supply station for human beings to fly into deep space—it was far from so easy to refine hydrogen isotopes locally.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Scissors rubbed their hands together excitedly.

The picture captured by the optical system was playing on the big screen, and the giant beast that had been ambushed by the Yangtze River once because it had broken away from the speed of light had grown into a heart, and cautiously probed its brain in the colorful light, until it was sure that there was no ambush, and then completely got out of the faster-than-light state.

Ye Fei's jaw almost smashed the facial bone of his foot, what kind of ability is this? The human warship will either enter the speed of light or break away, and like a giant beast will always stay in a colorful light to advance or retreat?

Sensei joked, it is absolutely impossible for a faster-than-light engine to keep its power at a critical point all the time!

He had already surmised that the Behemoth was extremely capable of flying faster than light. But he couldn't imagine that it could be so strong, and Ye Fei even began to wonder if the giant beast was flesh and blood.

The beast returned to its normal state with a simple movement of its hands and feet, spotted a non-existent route in the void, and flew towards the star with teeth and claws.

Jiang Xue exclaimed: "Its flight path is completely consistent with the trajectory of the previous battleship!" ”

Ye Fei scratched his head irritably: "This thing is more powerful than we imagined, how did the hell this evolve?" In the past few days, he has rejoiced in his heart more than once, if the giant beast was not so strong, he was afraid that it would have been transformed into a biological warship by the Outer Bone Man like other cosmic creatures, and then the human race would have a lot of fun.

The black bear raised his eyebrows and smiled heartlessly: "You have to ask the master about this." "An old guy who has lived for more than 1,300 years. The reputation of omniscience has long spread throughout the expeditionary force.

In fact, no one believes that the Juggernaut really knows everything. But the old goblin who has lived for so long is normal for him to know a little more. Besides, a mechanical brain with logical thinking is a mess with strong reasoning and calculation. Maybe it won't be long. If there is a problem, looking for the master will become the mantra of the expeditionary force.

Ye Fei's mouth pursed high: "If it's useful to find her." Are we going to drag the stubborn beast for so long? "Manpower is sometimes poor, and dominance is not omnipotent.

Not long ago, a warrior inadvertently changed the name of the stubborn beast to the stubborn beast when venting his frustration, and unexpectedly won a chorus of approval. Now this title has spread all over the Yangtze River, and even Ye Fei has been affected.

Stubborn stubbornness.

To tell the truth, the black bear had no temper at all and retreated on the spot.

Since the Pioneer Four created a super battleship that only exists in fantasy, mechanical civilization has a tendency to gradually deify in the eyes of some people, although the black bear is not a brain-dead mechanical fan, but also feels that the civilization level of intelligent machinery is far above that of humans.

The speed of the stubborn beast is extremely fast, but as the star gets closer and closer, the stubborn beast actually shows obvious hesitation and hesitation - when the Yangtze River arrived, it flew around the star at close range, and the stubborn beast seemed unwilling to get too close to the star, this phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of Ye Fei and others.

"Didn't you say that the skin of a stubborn beast can decompose electromagnetic waves?" Scissors said thoughtfully, "So, sunlight should be no different from food to the stubborn beast, right, what is it hiding?" ”

"Do you think it's as stupid as you are?" The black bear teased unceremoniously, "No matter how tough it is, it can be stronger than the sun?" The skin can directly absorb sunlight, so there is no limit, right? This guy must have thought it was too dangerous to get close to the star. ”

"You're as stupid as a paramecium!" Scissors grinned and retorted, "That place isn't in the orbit of hot Jupiter......

To be precise, the Stubborn Beast is currently three times as far away from the semi-major axis of Hot Jupiter.

The black bear covered his face with a slap: "Sensei told someone that I know you!" "The orbit of hot Jupiter is too close to the star, and the high temperature is two or three thousand degrees, even if the Yangtze River reaches that position, the armor is in danger of being roasted by the high temperature.

If the stubborn beast could survive in such a high temperature, wouldn't it become a stellar creature?

Unless plasma is capable of generating sparks of thought!

The black bear's words provoked a sullen laugh from everyone, and the scissors looked indifferent: "You don't know me once or twice, I'm afraid of what you're going to do?" ”

Everyone laughed even louder, and for the first time since leaving the main force, everyone laughed so heartily.

The stubborn beast finally gave up the idea of continuing to follow the trajectory of the Yangtze River and flew around the bend to Hot Jupiter.

Ye Fei frowned and pondered, until now, he still couldn't figure out how the stubborn beast tracked the battleship, and the only thing that seemed to be closer to the answer might be that the magnetic engine would leave some kind of trace that humans had not been able to discover so far.

The reason why he commanded the battleship to fly so close to the star a while ago was for the purpose of using the magnetic field of the star to interfere with the trajectory. But although the stubborn beast did not continue to fly according to the path of the battleship, it did not look like it was lost.

This discovery disappointed Ye Fei, if it weren't for the fact that the faster-than-light engine would be affected by the magnetic field of the star, he would even have the urge to fly close to the star to start the faster-than-light engine - I want to see how much the dead-eyed stubborn beast hates the Yangtze River, and he actually chased so far and didn't give up!

The stubborn beast made a big circle, but there was no problem with the direction, and it definitely came to the Yangtze River.

When the stubborn beast flew into the tail of the hot Jupiter comet, Ye Fei finally extinguished the last trace of hope in his heart, and sighed helplessly and said, "Jiang Xue." Pick a random target and let's go. "Knowing that he can't win the stubborn beast, of course he won't take the initiative to find himself uncomfortable.

In the face of absolute strength, any tactic is a floating cloud.

The Yangtze River flew away from the tail of the comet, and soon after, the stubborn beast found the location where the battleship had disappeared and reattached the Yangtze River.

Not long after the Yangtze River left, an outer bone group quietly entered the Brutal Star.

September 16, 2206.

After more than a month of sailing, the Yangtze River arrived at an unnamed galaxy four light-years away from the Brutal Star.

The monotonous interstellar flight has long smoothed out the passion of the soldiers, and looking at the unchanged starry sky can no longer find the feeling of the past. Even if you get to a new galaxy. The whole ship was just conducting routine reconnaissance in a step-by-step manner, and no one was excited about setting a human record for interstellar voyages.

"The center of the galaxy is a yellow dwarf, about 0.83 times the mass of a standard star, and it is a large red dwarf." Che Qi, who manipulated the optical system to remotely sense the situation of the galaxy, was amazed.

The so-called standard mass is similar to the standard gravitational air pressure and so on. It is one of a series of constants developed from the core of the earth and the solar system.

When Ye Fei heard this, he immediately became interested: "Are there any planets?" "Usually red dwarfs are less than half the mass of the Sun. The mass of this one reaches more than eighty percent. Definitely an "outlier".

"Yes, quite a few." Che Qi smiled, "Seven planets." There are three Earth-like planets in the inner planetary system, the fourth and fifth giant planets, and the sixth and seventh are probably gas planets, there is no asteroid belt, and the outer part of the galaxy has the Kuiper belt, and the specific data will take some time to collect. ”

"The environment is good, it's quite similar to the mainland, is there a habitable planet?" Scissors asked curiously.

The expeditionary force seems to have developed a habit of getting into the habit of having a habitable planet wherever they go, and even if it is impossible to immigrate at all, they must first get their hands on sovereignty.

"Yes, the third one is in a good position, 0.78 AU." Cha Qi replied.

"My day, how can I find habitable planets wherever I go?" Scissors, who didn't expect to get an answer, complained indignantly, "This is also livable, that is also livable, in fact, the location is about the same, which environment is like the earth?" ”

Che Qi shrugged and said, "I guess this one will disappoint you, it's not blue." "The Blue Planet doesn't necessarily have a habitable environment, but it does have a lot of liquid water.

"Don't hit me." Scissorskin grinned widely, "The immigrant star has nothing to do with me, I'm much disappointed, I've long been used to it." ”

"Is there a place with a special environment?" Ye Fei interrupted the ridicule of the two.

His only concern now is how to get rid of the stubborn beast, not to look around for habitable planets.

After a long-distance flight of more than 30 days, if the Yangtze River is at full power, it is enough to throw the stubborn beast away by a distance of one point and eight light years, but he has already done something similar, and he was still found by the stubborn beast in the end.

So Ye Fei changed his mind to get rid of the stubborn beast with speed, and prepared to jump galaxy by galaxy to see if he could use the environment to find a way to get rid of the stubborn beast.

"Haven't found it yet." Cha Qi replied regretfully.

At this time, the shipboard system integrated the picture of the whole galaxy and put it directly on the big screen, Ruan Peng pointed to the third planet in surprise: "Hey, it has two satellites!" ”

"No, it's not small." Cha Qi agreed.

The closer a planet is to the star, the less likely it is to have a moon, and even less so the presence of giant planets in the middle of a planetary system – the Moon was an accident that should never have happened, and most people believe that the Moon was a collection of debris scattered by a planetary impact in the early days of Earth's formation.

Could it be that the third planet here, with its two moons, has experienced a similar impact?

Everyone's attention was attracted by the third planet at the same time, and Ye Fei simply ordered: "Che Qi, enlarge the third planet." ”

"No problem." The third planet on the screen immediately enlarged until it occupied half of the screen, but the enlarged third planet was poured on everyone's heads like a basin of cold water.

Where are the satellites, they are simply two bone mounds!

"Exoskeleton?" Ye Feiteng stood up, and the excitement in his eyes was not hatred!

If this were a lifeless galaxy, there would be no chance of getting rid of the Behemoth...... Can the Outer Skeleton attract the attention of the Stubborn Beast?

"There are ecosystems on the third planet?" Scissors looked at Che Qi in surprise.

The Outer Skeletons have no interest in the inhospitable planet.

"Don't look at me, I don't know what to do!" Che Qi said.

Fu Hongye said hesitantly: "Didn't you say that a community has only one bone mound?" How did we come across so many different communities? ”

Ye Fei waved his hand: "No matter how much, go." Take a closer look. "The Yangtze River has passed through several planetary systems in four months, but has never encountered an outer skeleton, and he is secretly determined to seize this opportunity.

Ye Fei didn't know what to say, even if he didn't meet the Outer Bone Man this time, he would definitely meet the Outer Bone Man unexpectedly in the near future. It's not his luck that goes against the sky, it's that the Yangtze River inadvertently broke into dangerous airspace!

The various communities of the Outer Skeleton Men flying in the direction of the solar system occupy a three-dimensional space of about fifty light years, and most people subconsciously think that the strongest large group of the Outer Skeleton Men should be located in the middle of the entire population, but in fact, this is not the case at all, the higher the community. The higher the chance of finding an ecological planet.

For the Skeleton Man. Ecological planet means strength, if the strong large race falls to the center of the population, won't it be able to gnaw on the leftovers of the front peak community?

No lord would give up the leading position, and how could the big races be an exception?

Several communities that have had contact with humans can all be considered as the forward communities of the Exoskeleton population. If you look at the migrating exoskeleton population as a whole. The current location of the Yangtze River is precisely under the belly of the entire Outer Bone Man population!

Encounter two bone mounds. Just because two communities happen to arrive in this galaxy at the same time.

The Yangtze River quietly flew into the galaxy and slowly approached the third planet, reaching this position. The situation of the third line becomes clear.

It is a terrestrial planet more than twice the size of the Earth, most of the surface is pale green, interspersed with a small amount of gray-brown surface, the water surface occupies only a small part of the whole line, at most one-seventh, and there is hardly a large ocean visible, but there are many lakes and dense water networks.

"What's that?" Che Qi jumped up in horror, his trembling index finger pointing at a place on the planet's surface that was clearly not naturally formed, and his mouth opened wide.

"It's the city!" Ye Fei instinctively exclaimed, "Zoom in!" ”

Cha Qi immediately manipulated Chaolai, and the gradually zoomed in to reveal a primitive city, full of low buildings, except for the largest complex in the center of the city, which seemed to belong to the ruler of the city.

The original intelligent natives seem to be in the feudal era, similar in appearance to humans, and since they are viewed from the sky, their specific appearance cannot be seen by the optical system.

The city has no walls, no rules to follow in the streets, and the city is close to the lake, and the neighborhood is full of dense forests.

There is a similar city around every lake, and the wider the lake, the larger the city, and the total number of cities!

The Exoskeleton seems to have just begun, occupying only a few points at the equator and expanding outward.

"Look here!" The scissors suddenly made a conspicuous red mark on the screen, and after zooming in, everyone was speechless in shock.

It was an indigenous city, and a group of Outer Bone people happened to fall there, and the fierce native humans did not give back, but raised their weapons without hesitation to resist to the death, and what is even more unbelievable is that the indigenous people and the Outer Bone people are fighting each other!

When the two sides fought together, Ye Fei and the others suddenly discovered that the native race here was actually more than twice as tall as the Outer Bone Man, and their bodies were incomparably strong, and they were similar to holding a tall and thick giant tree such as the Outer Bone Man in their hands, as if they were holding a bean sprout.

Although the Outer Skeleton is very strong in combat, the strong giant can pick up a thick and long stick, and two or three Outer Skeleton Men can be knocked away with a single stick!

The Outer Skeleton Men are not vegetarians, and their sturdy carapace protects their safety, even if they are swept by the giant for more than twenty meters and hit their heads on the ground, they can immediately get up unscathed and re-enter the battle.

However, giants also have cavalry, and the huge riding beasts are at least ten meters long and four or five meters high, and their thick limbs can crush several exoskeleton people with one foot.

The two sides are fighting fiercely, and they fought half a catty against eight taels.

"What should I do?" The soft sound of scissors broke the silence.

Ye Fei was silent for a while before replying, "Don't do anything, let's wait here for the stubborn beast." "The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, and to the native race, humans are also alien visitors.

"Just look at it?" The scissors seemed to be talking to themselves, and it was like saying to everyone, "You can't leave the planet to the Outer Skeleton, right?" ”

"What then? Bombing planets? Ye Fei asked rhetorically, "I'm not so cold-blooded." ”

The Moscow Agreement, which was secretly signed by the three major space powers, has written the status of extraterrestrial intelligent creatures into the laws of the earth in advance.

At its core, it is about supporting native species to work for humans as much as possible without intervention – a detailed premise that native species do not have the ability to threaten humans.

In other words, humans are raising native species as slaves in disguise.

"It has nothing to do with cold-blooded blood, there are two outer bone groups here, unless we kill the bone mound, it will be a matter of time before the protists are killed by the outer bone people." The scissors are pointed, and everyone understands the meaning.

A soldier is not a defender, and at all times, the interests of humanity must come first. The military personnel of humanity are not obliged to protect extraterrestrial creatures.

"Boss, I don't care if I look at it like this, I feel like I have a pimple in my heart, if I can help us, even if it drags the hands and feet of the outer skeleton, it is good to buy some time for the stubborn beast." The black bear rarely persuaded in a soft voice.

Human beings are undoubtedly strong, so strong that they can destroy this planet in minutes, but human beings are also weak, born under the red flag, the iron-blooded soldiers who grew up in New China are by no means war machines that exterminate humanity.

"To be honest, I don't feel sick either." Ye Fei unabashedly admitted his weakness, "Airborne? The natives don't necessarily appreciate it, and we don't have enough to fill it...... Forget it, do your best to obey the fate of heaven, scissors, calculate the bombing trajectory, let's make some trouble for the outer skeleton people on the ground. (To be continued......)

PS: The state is not good, I read a lot of information: in the later stage of star evolution, the fusion of iron does not release energy, and at most produces cobalt and nickel...... There are too many elements needed for life, and if there is a lack of heavy elements, will it produce higher life?
