Built with the most advanced materials, the Hope is dozens of times more resistant to radiation than the old spacecraft. Moreover, Hope is powered by nuclear fusion, so there is no need to worry about fuel consumption when it is close to Jupiter.

When building the Hope, Xiao Yu considered the possibility of conflict with the rest of the creatures, so the Hope also installed ten laser cannons and three high-yield hydrogen bombs.

It can be said that this time, Xiao Yu has made all preparations.

However, be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship, and in the face of these strange creatures, Xiao Yu still maintained enough caution.

Turning on the detection power of various instruments to the maximum, Xiao Yu slowly flew along the orbit around Jupiter.

"According to my previous speculation, the reason why my spaceship attracts so many wood spirits is because there are things on my spaceship that attract them. This time, it is just a good time to verify it so that large-scale arrests can be carried out in the future. ”

Xiao Yu thought slowly, and after discovering that there was a group of wood spirits in front of him that was about a hundred times the initial radiation showing a blue shift, Xiao Yu quickly released a rudimentary moon, keeping it in an orbit about a hundred kilometers away from him, and revolving around Jupiter together.

The total strength of this group of wood spirits is about the same as that of the peak of the No. 1 wood spirit. Now, with such a strength of wood spirit, Xiao Yu can completely ignore it.

According to the blue shift, the speed of this group of wood spirits relative to Hope reached about 100 kilometers per second. After removing the speed of 43 kilometers per second of the Hope, the speed of these wood spirits is about 60 kilometers per second.

This group of wood spirits soon came to a position that was only a thousand kilometers away from Xiao Yu. This location is only about 800 kilometers away from the rudimentary satellite released by Xiao Yu earlier. But at this time, the performance of this group of wood spirits greatly exceeded Xiao Yu's expectations.

They shrugged off the relatively close proximity of the satellites, and instead swooped down on Hope, clinging to Hope's shell and doing their best to get into it.

Xiao Yu's brows tightened.

"What is it about the ship that attracts them? I came to Jupiter this time on a different plane than the old spacecraft I had before, that is, what attracted them was something that the old spacecraft and Hope shared. But they weren't attracted to the rudimentary satellite, so they could get rid of a large part of it......"

"What is it that attracts them?"

While thinking about it, Xiao Yu weakened the radiation protection ability of a certain part of the shell of the Hope, and made a trap on the inner wall, and cleanly captured this group of wood spirits. After that, Xiao Yu began to do the elimination method.

"First of all, it won't be computers. The computers on the old spacecraft used large-scale integrated circuits, while the Hope was a photonic computer, and the architecture was different, and it was not the same thing at all. Moreover, there were computing modules on top of that rudimentary satellite, but these wood spirits were dismissive. ”

"It's not going to be the material. They are just attached tightly to the shell, and the slightest hole is drilled into it, and it is certain that it is not these special steels that attract them. ”

"Is it heat? No, unlikely. Everywhere above Jupiter you can find much warmer than I am. Radiant energy? No way, I've done a lot of shiyan on Titan. ”

Xiao Yu thought quickly, and gradually, a terrible thought came out.

"Could it be...... Am I the one who attracts them? ”

Xiao Yu decided to make another shiyan.

Another gathering point of wood spirits was found ahead. There are about seven or eight of them. Xiao Yu cleanly eliminated seven of them with a laser cannon, and after only one remained, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and shifted his position through radio waves, from the Hope to the rudimentary satellite next to it.

This rudimentary satellite has no protective measures, and if it is close to the wood spirit, just one wood spirit can wipe out Xiao Yu. But Xiao Yu was sure that after Mu Ling showed signs of approaching him, he escaped in time.

In order to figure out this problem, for the large-scale arrest of Jihua in the future, Xiao Yu believes that it is worth taking a little risk.

The Hope is rapidly approaching the Wood Spirit. The distance was shortened from 10,000 kilometers to 5,000 kilometers and then to 1,000 kilometers......

Hope, the rudimentary moon, and the wood spirit form a triangle. According to Xiao Yu's mastery of the habits of the wood spirit, Xiao Yu knew that when the wood spirit reached a distance of three hundred kilometers from the Hope, he would make a decision. Whether to fly to Hope, or to a rudimentary satellite.

The wood spirit is coming. At a distance of 300 kilometers from Hope, it did not hesitate to change direction and pounced on the rudimentary satellite at a speed of 60 kilometers per second. Combined with the speed of the rudimentary satellite itself, after three seconds, the wood spirit will come into contact with it.

The time left for Xiao Yu is only three seconds. It's short, but it's sufficient. It took Xiao Yu less than a second to run out of the rudimentary satellite and send himself to the main control computer of the Hope by means of radio waves. And this wood spirit seemed to feel something, feeling Xiao Yu's departure, it also immediately changed direction, and swooped towards the Hope, until it was blocked by the shell of the Hope, unable to advance an inch.

The reaction of this wood spirit had confirmed Xiao Yu's guess, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but ponder.

"So, I, weishenme will attract them?" Xiao Yu thought about it, "The biggest difference between me and the computer is that I have independent thinking, while the computer does not. Could it be my autonomous mind, or in other words, my intellect that attracts them? ”

"That's the only one to explain." Xiao Yu came to this conclusion, "Could it be that after devouring my wisdom, it will cause them to evolve?" ”

"How can there be such an evolutionary path? You don't evolve your own intelligence, but you can evolve by devouring the intelligence of other creatures. ”

This is just a rough speculation, but unfortunately Xiao Yu has no other intelligent beings around him to confirm this speculation. If he used himself to do the experiment, Xiao Yu was unwilling, so he had to put this guess in his heart and leave it for verification later.

Cleanly cleaned up the wood spirit, Xiao Yu continued his journey.

After a few years, it seems that there are more sources of radiation on Jupiter. Xiao Yu can detect that 100,000 kilometers below him, there are many radiation sources on the surface of Jupiter and even in the inner layer, almost all over Jupiter. There, Xiao Yu didn't dare to go, so he just fought guerrilla warfare on the outer layer. Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, he will still have to finish the game by being pounced on by tens of thousands of wood spirits.

Even in the outer layer, the density of the wood spirits was more than ten times higher than the last time they escaped with the old spaceship. With the strength of the Hope, it still encountered danger several times, but fortunately, Xiao Yu prepared enough fuel and the high-power laser cannon attacked at the same time, slowing down their speed and reducing their strength, and Xiao Yu survived the crisis safely.

After confirming that it was only himself who attracted these wood spirits, and that the mechanical equipment he made would not be interfered with by the wood spirits, Xiao Yu also started the prospecting of the Jupiter system while capturing the wood spirits.

Jupiter's system is much larger than Saturn's, and much closer than Earth's. If titanium and zirconium can be found here, their mining cycle and mining cost are undoubtedly much lower than that of the earth.

Four Galileo satellites and dozens of smaller satellites were all explored by Xiao Yu, but the result disappointed Xiao Yu. In the Jupiter system, there are still no veins of titanium and zirconium worth mining.

"Hey, let's honestly look for it on Earth." Xiao Yu sighed, and embarked on the journey back with the tens of thousands of wood spirits he had captured.

Such a number of wood spirits was enough for Xiao Yu to build more than a hundred "village"-level spaceships like the Hope, and even enough to build a "county"-level spaceship.

In Xiao Yu's division level, about 3,000 tons, such as the Hope, are "village" class, spacecraft with a capacity of more than 10,000 tons are "township" class, and more than 100,000 tons are "county" level spaceships.

In Xiao Yu's design drawings, the "County" class spacecraft is already a minimum length of 500 meters, which is larger than a large aircraft carrier on the earth. Xiao Yu's plan was to start the trip to Tianyuan Four after building at least three "county" class spaceships and supporting "township" and "village" class spaceships.

This goal is no longer far away. The Long March, under Xiao Yu's persistence for several years, has been at least half completed.

Loaded with the fruits of the harvest, Xiao Yu returned to Titan. In the nearly three months that Xiao Yu left, Titan was quiet as usual, and no accidents happened, and even the expected black worm invasion, he lost one or two bases, the most likely scenario did not happen, which made Xiao Yu sigh his good luck.

Couldn't wait to return to the computer in the main base, Xiao Yu, who once again experienced the thrill of powerful computing power, after detecting and processing the backlog of data during this time, immediately began to restore the productivity on Titan.

Xiao Yu has a grand goal. Now, with enough wood spirits and black worm corpses, as well as an endless stream of resources, and with all his titanium and zirconium inventory, Xiao Yu plans to build a "township"-class spaceship.

This "Township" class spacecraft, which will reach 30,000 tons, will still be butterfly-shaped, but the diameter will reach 100 meters. Xiao Yu named the first "Township"-class spacecraft that had not yet been built......

Aurora!

If "Hope" just let Xiao Yu see the hope of Yuankong Yuan IV, then "Dawn" let Xiao Yu see the dawn of realizing his great voyage dream!
