In the construction process of the Dawning, Xiao Yu adopted some of the latest jishu, such as more reasonable circuit design, more efficient engine design, etc., according to estimates, the scientific and technological content of the Dawning is at least more than ten years more advanced than the Hope.

In particular, the Aurora is also equipped with a large number of weapon systems, the number of high-power laser cannons has increased to thirty, the reserve of strategic hydrogen bombs has increased to ten, and the rest, the Aurora is also equipped with a large number of conventional weapon systems, such as up to a hundred conventional ammunition missiles, such as high-speed machine guns.

Not only that, Xiao Yu is also in full swing to develop the next generation of new weapons. However, Xiao Yu also knew that there was little hope. The hydrogen bomb has already represented the most lethal weapon within the framework of the two physical cornerstones of relativity and quantum mechanics. Without a breakthrough in basic physical theory, it is impossible for mankind to develop a weapon more powerful than the hydrogen bomb. What Xiao Yu is doing now is just to make some preliminary physical theoretical reserves.

In the solar system, the discovery of black insect creatures and wood spirit creatures made Xiao Yu full of vigilance about the alien civilizations he might encounter. Xiao Yu is not a messenger of peace, if he encounters an alien intelligent civilization, Xiao Yu would rather destroy it directly than risk contact with the other party.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Hope is halfway through its return voyage and has reached the orbit of Jupiter. Xiao Yu's mind couldn't help but come alive again: "It's better to let the Hope go to Jupiter again and capture a little wood spirit." I wasn't on the Hope anyway, and the Hope was safe. ”

Xiao Yu wrote a program and sent it to Hope. Hope immediately changed course and sped off toward Jupiter.

In order to prevent accidents, Xiao Yu also added a code on risk assessment to the program, which contains the index assessment of various possible dangers in all aspects, and it has the highest authority on the manipulation of the Hope, if the danger index assessment exceeds 90 points, the Hope will desperately flee Jupiter.

Hope slowly approached Jupiter, and under the manipulation of the program, it first scanned all the wood spirits within a range of 150,000 kilometers around it, and found that its number was within its acceptable range, and then first selected a relatively weak wood spirit gathering point and flew over.

This wood spirit gathering point is 400,000 kilometers away from Jupiter, Hope quietly approached them, and then, Hope stretched out a mechanical arm from the hull, the top of this mechanical arm has a large net made of high radiation resistant materials, as if catching insects, the mechanical arm waved over, and all the wood spirits at this wood spirit gathering point were captured.

Those wood spirits were still ignorant, and they didn't resist, and they didn't dodge.

Xiao Yu, who had been paying attention to the situation of the Hope, was suddenly overjoyed. Because this means that his speculation is correct, in the future, he will have an endless stream of wood spirits for himself to build spaceships.

The Hope began its free flight, and the Wood Spirit didn't take up space at all, as long as its total radiation was within the allowable range of the confinement device, the Hope didn't have to worry about the Wood Spirit damaging the hull.

In an orbit of 200,000 kilometers from Jupiter, a meteorite block with a diameter of about half a meter is revolving around Jupiter carefree. On top of it, about thirty Initial Strength Wood Spirits were gathered. Later, the Hope quietly accelerated, slowly approaching it, and after the speed of the two kept in sync, the mechanical arm on the Hope waved by, grabbing the meteorite, along with the thirty wood spirits on it. The meteorite block was then discarded, and the wood spirit on it was imprisoned in a metal box.

This situation lasted for more than half a month, and Xiao Yu captured nearly 10,000 wood spirits. Looking at the fruits of his labor, Xiao Yu thought contentedly: "Catch a thousand more, catch another thousand and return." ”

Ahead, a wood spirit gathering point appeared, and according to the strength calculation, there were about 1,300 wood spirits gathered there. The Hope stopped there and began to signal Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu thought about it for a while, but decided to start.

Against the backdrop of Jupiter's sprawling, the tiny Hope began to slowly approach a point where nothing could be seen. Although it looked like it was just a void with the naked eye or optical instruments, the radiometer unmistakably told Xiao Yu that there were more than a thousand wood spirits gathered there.

When it was only 3,000 kilometers away from this wood spirit gathering point, the mutation was abrupt.

This group of wood spirits began to show a strong blue shift!

It was also at this time that the Hope found out that this wood spirit gathering point, where are the 1,200 wood spirits, which is clearly an extremely powerful radiation source with a collection of 300 wood spirits, and a group of powerful wood spirits with a single radiation amount of three to ten times the size of ordinary wood spirits!

"I'll go!" Xiao Yu screamed, but there was nothing he could do. Because when he received this signal, more than half an hour had passed since the incident. In other words, everything that should have happened happened, and as for what happened, Xiao Yu could only make a judgment based on the signals he received next.

Xiao Yu's mind was tense to the extreme, and he watched the movement of the Hope tightly.

Hope is the first truly interstellar spaceship built by Xiao Yu, and it has a special meaning for him, and there is no room for surprise.

While watching the movement of the Hope, Xiao Yu also began to think nervously: "What the hell is going on?" Weishenme, a powerful wood spirit, will exhibit different behavioral traits from the rest of the wood spirits? It actually understands the principle of active attack? ”

couldn't figure out this truth for the time being, Xiao Yu simply left it behind. There is just one point, Xiao Yu understands it very clearly.

That is, if you want to capture the wood spirit again in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Information from the Hope kept coming into Xiao Yu's brain. Xiao Yu saw that at the moment when the group of wood spirits showed a strong blue shift, the danger assessment code immediately began to operate, and the danger index rose sharply, from ten to twenty points, and then to fifty points, and it continued to rise......

However, what Xiao Yu set was that when the danger index rose to seventy points, the Hope would stop watching, at eighty points, the Hope would attack, and when the danger index reached ninety points, the Hope would run away desperately.

Now, the danger index is only fifty points! So the Hope was still trying to slowly approach the wood spirits.

The strength of this group of wood spirits is equivalent to 1,200 times the initial strength of the wood spirits! Even if the Hope has the special bonus of the Black Worm Corpse and the Wood Spirit Radiation, it can't withstand so much Wood Spirit Radiation!

If this group of wood spirits gets close, most of the instruments of the Hope will be damaged immediately, and Xiao Yu will completely lose the Hope.

The approaching speed of the two reached a hundred kilometers per second. That is, in just thirty seconds, the two will collide head-on.

At this moment, Xiao Yu regretted wanting to grab his hair one by one. Xiao Yu regretted that he did not make the risk assessment process a little more perfect.

The danger index is slowly climbing, and finally, the danger index reaches 70 points. Under the operation of the program, the Hope stopped, as if wondering what was going on.

"Mom, you stupid bird, run away!" Xiao Yu shouted silently.

That's the difference between a program and a human brain. The program will always be executed according to the pre-set code, and there is no flexibility at all. If it was Xiao Yu in this case, he would have run as far as he could. But what is a hunch for a program? Is it one or zero?

That group of wood spirits was only two thousand kilometers away from the Hope. It was at this time that the danger index climbed to eighty!

Five high-powered laser cannons facing the side of the wood spirit began to fire. The power of these laser cannons is more than ten times stronger than the laser guns of the old spaceship at the beginning, but those wood spirits are all mutated, and their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary wood spirits.

What's more, in this group of wood spirits, there is also a super strong wood spirit that is equivalent to the radiation intensity of three hundred ordinary wood spirits!

Xiao Yu had already closed his eyes and didn't dare to look any further. It only takes them 20 seconds to cover the distance of 1,500 kilometers.

The danger index is rising.

Eighty-one ...... Eighty-two ...... Eighty-five ...... Eighty-nine ......

Finally, ten seconds before the encounter, the hazard assessment index climbed to ninety!

The preset escape program immediately came into play, and the Hope turned around and ran away.

At this moment, the Hope's strong resistance to overload and maneuverability were revealed. Almost instantly, it climbed from a relatively stationary state to a speed of two kilometers per second, and it is still rising! While fleeing, the five laser cannons continued to fire, trying their best to block the speed of the wood spirit's pursuit.

Xiao Yu's mind was tense, and as for whether the Hope could run away, he was really not sure at all.

Time passed by second by second. The wood spirit chased after the Hope at a fixed speed, and the Hope kept accelerating. chased and fled, and thirty seconds later, the first wood spirit caught up with the Hope and stuck tightly to the Hope's shell.

"Fortunately, fortunately, it's just a wood spirit with seven times the normal strength, and I can still bear it." Xiao Yu read silently, and continued to stare at the Hope closely.

Another Wood Spirit caught up with the Hope. At the same time, the speed of the Hope continued to climb, and forty seconds later, the speed of the Hope climbed to eighty kilometers per second!

At this moment, Xiao Yu was sweating profusely. The speed of eighty kilometers per second was enough to escape the pursuit of the wood spirit.

Looking at the dozen or so wood spirits tightly attached to the shell of the Hope, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.
