The three fleets led by Gavin, Rebecca, and Pan Longhua basically encountered no resistance after defeating the coalition fleet in the territory of the Danze Kingdom. 15 [1 Look at the book network romance content update faster than rockets, do you dare not believe it? ] The whole kingdom was like an undefended city to them, at their mercy and plunder.

After that, a fleet of ships carrying equipment and supplies seized from the Yinshan shipyard arrived and joined the main force of the fleet.

At this time, the total number of ships, including the fleet carrying these equipment and the fleet of towing containers, has exceeded 13,000. This transport fleet was of different shapes, scattered formations, low morale, and very poor transport efficiency. After deliberation, it was decided that Pan Longhua's Seventh Fleet would escort the fleet back home, while Gavin and Rebecca's fleet would continue to strike at its military installations and important targets in the Kingdom of Tanze.

For a time, the entire Danze Kingdom completely became the target of the Federation fleet.

Any recorded military installation, whether a space base or a planetary defense deployment, has been devastated by the Federation fleet. Even the military facilities built on the surface of the planet were easily destroyed by the fifth battalion of the Knights who landed.

After this battle, the military strength of the entire Danze Kingdom will be wiped out, and there will be no ability to defend against other countries.

After three days of aggressive attack, Gavin and Rebecca's fleet withdrew from the kingdom of Tanze, caught up with the Seventh Fleet, which had set off first, and headed home together. And the devastated Danze Kingdom was not happy for their departure, and the subsequent turmoil and rebellion that broke out across the country, and the fleets of other surrounding countries took advantage of the situation, made the Danze King anxiously burn his eyebrows, and asked for assistance from the twin gods without stopping.

Strange to say, after the Federation fleet left, King Danze finally contacted the Twin Divine Generals.

After learning that the Danze Kingdom had been hit like this and that all the piled up supplies had been snatched away, the twin gods had a gloomy face, and the corners of their brows trembled with uncontrollable anger. After that, he sent two fleets to the Kingdom of Tanzawa to assist the Kingdom in countering the rebellion and fighting the invaders, and then hastily concluded the meeting with the King of Tanze and did not inquire about the matter again.

The speed of the transport fleet is very slow, and it will take at least almost a month to return from the kingdom of Denzer to the Winged Commonwealth without the ability to tell the jump.

Along the way, the Federation fleet tries to choose remote routes that are inaccessible to people, and sends the reconnaissance fleet out of the route for more than one day to observe and prevent sudden attacks from the Dragon Slayer. In addition, all containers and transport ships are equipped with self-destruction devices, and once attacked by the Dragon Slayer Society's army, the fleet will quickly evacuate and detonate the device, leaving no supplies for the Dragon Slayer.

The fleet cautiously returned to the Federation, thankfully having been away from the Danze Kingdom for a week, and they had not encountered any enemies. Occasionally, a few pirate scout ships would appear in view, but at the sight of such a large fleet, the pirates immediately fled in a hurry, not daring to attack them in the slightest.

Within the Federation, while most of the attention was focused on the returning fleet, Cloud Wing didn't care about it. It's not that he doesn't care about these three fleets and the materials they carry, but he knows that with the mid-level artificial intelligence [椤] in the fleet, there is no need to worry at all. Compared with the fleet, he paid more attention to the experimental fleet that was about to enter Tianhe.

After five days of sailing, the three test spacecraft escorted by 500 warships finally arrived at the edge of the Tianhe River.

Through the Tianxun network, Yunyi sent blessings to the departing fleet after another exhortation.

After shutting down the Tianxun network and activating the internal communication device specially designed by Tianhe, the communication connection between the three spacecraft was successfully established.

"Let's go!"

In the command room of the No. 1 battleship, Xie Xinyu tidied up his clothes, waved his hand, and gave an order.

The three spaceships slowly started and headed towards the pitch-black Tianhe.

On board, not a single person was afraid. All of them were incredibly excited. Except for the driver and navigator who had to be in place, everyone else was almost crowded into the porthole, looking at the Tianhe that was approaching a little bit. The scientists accompanying the ship quickly opened the various test devices, forcibly suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and prepared for the test.

Closer, closer.

In Xie Xinyu's nervous mood, the bow of the No. 1 spaceship, which was walking in the front, finally touched the edge of Tianhe. The spaceship slowly entered, and was swallowed up by the heavenly river little by little, and finally the entire ship sailed into it, and the people on the five hundred warships who remained outside could no longer see them. Similarly, under the interference of Tianhe materials, communication and reconnaissance and other means can no longer detect and contact the spacecraft that entered Tianhe.

It was pitch black, nothing could be seen, and the ship seemed to enter an endless abyss.

The crew members, who were still crowded at the porthole at first, only watched for less than ten minutes before they felt bored and left the window one after another. They felt relaxed and had nothing to be nervous about, but in fact, everyone in the command room had just breathed a sigh of relief.

"How much erosion is the outer armor?"

This is the issue that Xie Xinyu is most concerned about, and it is also the issue that Yunyi is most concerned about. Although these materials were all precisely tested by him in those small groups of Tianhe matter, but they were not tested in the real Tianhe, if the outer armor was eroded too quickly, the fleet would immediately turn around and return to the Northern Universe.

"According to the data of the optical brain detection, the erosion of the outer armor is almost negligible!"

Speaking was the leader of the ship's scientists and engineers, Ferdinand, vice president of the Federal Academy of Sciences. For this exploration, he had studied with Yunyi for a long time, and he also possessed a wealth of knowledge and was a very talented scientist.

He said happily: "Based on the current erosion rate, if the environment in the depths of Tianhe is similar to here, our armor can last for at least three months. ”

Hearing his words, Xie Xinyu and the people in the command room breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the initial space measurements, they judged that it would take at least fifteen days to cross this section of the Heavenly River. Three months was enough time for them to cross this dangerous area with ease.

After determining safety, the fleet began to accelerate and continued to move in the established direction towards the depths of the Tianhe River.

Three days later, they found a substance in the heavenly river that emitted a dim yellow light. When the spacecraft got closer, it found a planet floating in the heavenly river and moving slowly. From a distance, the planet's material was new and new that they had never seen before. According to Ferdinand's judgment, this material can perfectly resist the erosion of Tianhe material, but because the gravitational pull of the planet is too great, even if the fleet is still far away from the planet, the surging gravitational force will cause the three spaceships to shake violently, and it is impossible to approach and land on the planet for accurate exploration.

After recording the exact location of the planet, the fleet continued to march towards the depths of the Celestial River.

In the days that followed, they discovered dozens more of these planets.

Ferdinand judged that the number of such planets in the Tianhe was by no means a minority. If this material can be mined and processed, it can be used to build a permanent passage across the Tianhe. While sailing, the fleet finally discovered an asteroid with a diameter of less than a kilometer. At Ferdinand's suggestion, Shesin ordered one of the warships to activate its main guns and blast the asteroid to pieces far away.

The main cannon roared, and a dazzling light bombarded the dim asteroid, but it did not shatter it.

The strength and hardness of this substance shocked everyone. As a result, the fleet stayed for a whole day again, and the three ships launched continuous attacks, and after more than 20 main artillery bombardments, they barely knocked down a small piece of debris from the asteroid.

After pulling this fragment with a diameter of more than thirteen meters back into the spacecraft with a traction beam, they were surprised to find that the density and weight of this fragment far exceeded their expectations, although it was not as dense as white dwarfs and neutron star materials, but it also had a great density, palm-sized materials, and weighed more than 400 kilograms. At the same time, they also found signs of the presence of biological cells on the surface of this substance.

To this end, they kept the substance tightly stored in the ship's safe, intending to study it carefully when they returned. After all, there are so many strange substances in space that no one knows what kind of harm they will do to human beings.

The fleet set off again, and in the days that followed, it encountered a number of planets made of this substance.

On the tenth day, the fleet made a major discovery.

"Oh my God, what's that!"

In the flagship, the crew in charge of observing and detecting suddenly let out an exclamation, hearing the rapid arrival of Xie Xinyu and Ferdinand, and on the screen, they found that there was actually a dark brown wall in the starry sky in the distance. To their surprise, the wall was still slowly fluctuating.

"Ship two, take a closer look. Stay safe and retreat immediately if something is wrong. ”

After Xie Xinyu gave the order, the second ship began to break away from the fleet and headed towards the wall.

Looking at the wall not far away, the second ship actually ran for a full four hours before reaching the not far side of the wall. Judging from the images sent from the ship, the wall was covered with dense tentacles, as if it was a brown jungle, and the length of each tentacle was more than tens of kilometers.

"This should be some kind of creature."

Ferdinand jumped excitedly, pointed to the screen and said, "Teacher Yun once told me that the armor shell we use now can be made with reference to a creature that lives in the Tianhe. Therefore, he judged that there must be some kind of strange creature in the Tianhe. Teacher, he was right, we finally saw this creature. ”

Xie Xinyu looked at him blankly: "You mean, this wall is a creature?" ”

Ferdinand nodded, "That's right. ”

Xie Xinyu leaned in front of the image, and the brown wall could not be seen up and down, and no one knew how far away it was. He was stunned and said, "If it's a creature, how big is it......"
