Chapter Seventy-Nine: Schulte
After all ships pass through the wormhole, the passage closes behind them.
Looking at the orange-red stars in front of them, it was hard for everyone to believe that they had crossed the distance of seven light years in just a few minutes.
Now the "sun" in front of them is not "Angel", but "Schulte".
There are three planets in the Schulte system, and the third planet is a gas giant named Moffett.
The planet "Moffett" has seven moons, of which the first moon "Ariel" is the most suitable planet for human habitation in the system.
According to the interstellar colonization data left before, there are a total of 500 million inhabitants on this satellite, and the planet "Moffett" serves as a subspace channel transit station in the Zeji Star Zone, and there is also a giant air port, which can support thousands of ocean-going starships to dock and transit here.
"All ships follow the Ark out of the orbit of the star," Susie skillfully steered the Ark, "the global radar has begun to scan the system, hoping for good news."
The third-party ship slowly left Schulte and flew towards the nearest planet first.
The fleet had dispersed from the Ark, each entering its own alert area.
The first piece of news from the global radar was that no active man-made radio signals had been found in the system.
This is not good news, as long as we enter the modern society, it is impossible for ordinary social production activities not to emit electromagnetic signals.
Unless it is obscured by the planet Dyson sphere, as in the case of Uriel, the planet is not obscured by radar, although the radar shows exactly where Ariel is located.
"Susie, come and see." After Selena's Shelter Cloud project was implemented, her role moved to the Third Ark, where she is now the Chief Technology Officer.
"We found the spaceport on the Lagrange point of the Schulte-Moffitt star through the all-domain radar."
She put the long-range image of the spaceport on the screen, and this battered industrial residue did not look like a transit station at the star sector.
Susie licked her lips: "It seems that this spaceport has been abandoned, and it has been abandoned for a long time, and its defense system has been paralyzed, and it can't even deal with meteorites in space." ”
Selena continued to pull up the video data of Ariel: "We are in the dark area of Ariel, and we have almost no illumination spots, and I am worried about ......."
Susie nodded: "As a planet with 500 million inhabitants, there's no reason why there isn't even night lighting, alas, ......"
Catherine's voice came from the communicator: "Susie, the fire reconnaissance radar of the ship 01 has not found any suspicious enemies, and this system should be safe for the time being." ”
Susie replied, "Okay, thank you guys, lower the alert level to green." ”
Next, a meeting was held at the Journey to Underworld core to discuss the next steps and production plans for the Ark and the fleet in the Schulte system.
The first and second planets in the Schulte system are rocky planets, but they are not suitable for human habitation due to their high surface temperatures and lack of atmosphere.
However, after global scanning, both planets are rich in minerals, which can provide the materials needed for third-party ships to build more warships.
As a result of the team's discussions, the team will temporarily make repairs in the "Schulte" system and use local resources to build more space warships to improve the combat effectiveness of the fleet.
Mamba and Fran sign the summary of the meeting, and then hand it over to the "Lord" through the E703 lieutenant to make a decision.
Soon they received instructions from their adjutant to moor a third-party ship into the far orbit of the first planet, where they were to build a space elevator to transport minerals.
In addition, a special task force is assembled to travel to the spaceport of Moffett and its first satellite, Ariel, to see if there are any clues left in the former colony.
……
Tang Hao found some not-so-good signs in the high-dimensional space.
"Adjutant, have you noticed that the Schulte system is very different from the Angel system?"
The adjutant replied: "I also saw it, probably because it has been used as a transit station for subspace shipping lanes for a long time, and the space around Moffett Star has been alienated by subspace forces. ”
Tang Hao nodded: "I'll just say, how do you look at it, how do you feel that the entire background version of the Murphyt Star is like a distorted world." ”
"The ocean-going starships of the Federation Star Domain are coming in and out here, and they all have some subspace pollution." The adjutant said.
"At that time, the Federation Star Domain may not have been aware of the terrible pollution of subspace, but now that I think about it, this kind of large-scale transit station is simply a dessert in the eyes of subspace demons."
Tang Hao looked at the spaceport and the "Ariel" star on the screen: "The Federation Star Domain gave up here a long time ago, so are the residents here evacuated, or are they ......?"
"Let's not jump to conclusions just yet, and wait for the results of the special task force's investigation."
……
After the third ship docked into the orbit of the first planet, everyone was busy.
The fleet continues to patrol, but now the situation is good, and the fleet only needs a third of the fleet to do strategic duty, and the other ships and personnel can return to the third party boat for rotation and maintenance.
Seven Voyager spacecraft carrying hundreds of space engineering vehicles are on their way to Planet One, where they will prospect for minerals, build ore refineries, and build space elevators to transport large amounts of mineral resources to third-party ships in space.
Inside the third ship, the second "Reckless" class battleship has already begun construction, and the follow-up construction list also includes the "Falcon" class cruiser and the "Giant Whale" class space carrier, which are all necessary ships to form the fleet.
In addition, a special task force has been on a Voyager spacecraft, escorted by a squadron of Mirage fighters, to the star Moffett.
The working group consisted of only three members, namely White Tang, Cha Mo and Owo.
"Owo, what are you doing here, we all have something to do!" The end of the tea was a little speechless, and Owo didn't know where he heard the news, so he rushed to the second district and hugged her.
Owo snorted, "I knew you were going to explore a new place, and if it weren't for Elena's inability to leave the ark, I'd have called her too." ”
White Tang on the side helped her speak: "Owo is also kind, besides, how strong Owo's combat effectiveness is, we don't have to worry about her at all." ”
Hearing White Tang say this, Cha Mo had no choice but to stop: "Mr. Tang, why did you go over in person this time?" Lias and Barr both wanted to go. ”
