167 Flyby Saturn

Waking up from the deepest sleep, Ou Zhanpeng was confused for a moment before he remembered that he was on the Yunhe, heading to the edge of the distant galaxy.

Climbed out of the sleeping pod to move his body, but when he saw the time on the wall, his movements suddenly froze, and he ran to the bridge without saying a word.

With the continuous accumulation and progress of technology, low-temperature sleep technology has been greatly developed, through the consumption of high-calorie shelf-stable food, slow digestion and other supporting technologies, has allowed ordinary people to sleep for more than ten days.

Ou Zhanpeng is even more exaggerated, basically starting in a month.

During the voyage, everyone slept as long as they could, and he usually woke up once a month and went back to sleep after taking care of the business that had to be handled by the captain.

But this time, I woke up after only twelve days of sleep, which was obviously abnormal.

As soon as he entered the bridge, Ou Zhanpeng immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling Xiao made a rare serious look, pointed to the screen and said, "I think you should take a look at this!"

On the main screen, an earthy yellow planet rotates slowly, and its iconic halo always shows its identity.

Ling Xiao clicked in the air, and the Saturn on the screen quickly zoomed in, and Ou Zhanpeng immediately saw the abnormality: above Saturn's rings, there was a row of slender things suspended, and the big heads rushed down with their big heads pointing upwards, which at first glance looked like a row of sharpened mallets, and it looked like an unscrupulous hawker with a row of slender carrots on Saturn's rings.

Look at the proportions of this thing to Saturn's rings, the length is not low!

Ou Zhanpeng was shocked on the spot: "What is this?"

"I don't know, I just found out." Ling Xiao said.

From the time the alien species left Jupiter to the present, it has only been more than two years, and the road from Jupiter to Saturn has been dug out for more than a year, but in this short period of more than a year, the alien species has made something different.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it really can't be underestimated at all.

Ou Zhanpeng frowned: "Call everyone else up!"

It's not that Captain Ou is nervous, but Yunhe originally planned to use Saturn to accelerate, and the orbit has already been calculated, and the temporary orbit change will not only affect the flight speed of the battleship, but also affect the subsequent flight direction.

"Good!" Ling Xiao agreed, and immediately stopped the others' sleep.

Everyone arrived at the bridge one after another, they were all very curious about the cones on Saturn's rings, Ou Zhanpeng contacted the earth, but did not get any useful news, the only suggestion was to let Ou Zhanpeng judge for himself.

To be honest, human beings are far from reaching the level of exploring deep space, and they are only forced to have to embark on this path, and Jupiter is already the current limit of human beings.

Saturn is so far away that it is difficult to detect changes here with conventional observations, let alone them

Ou Zhanpeng looked at the screen, fell into deep thought, and said for a while, "Get ready to fight."

Several people immediately took action, took over their respective duties, and comprehensively inspected the situation of the battleship - including Ou Zhanpeng, there were only eight people on the Yunhe, and this was the result of Ou Zhanpeng's hard work, otherwise at least a team of twenty or thirty people would be stuffed in.

He didn't have any other ideas, he just felt that this trip was too far and dangerous, and it might not be useful if there were too many people. ….

Ou Zhanpeng continued to observe and found that the surface of the cones was very rough, with irregularities and pits, not like they were mass-manufactured by industrial means.

There was no sign of aliens nearby, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and began to suspect that this thing was the alien's new battleship.

But why did they stop motionless above Saturn? Collecting fuel? Or is it a ritual peculiar to some alien species?

Before he could find a clue, Ou Zhanpeng found another batch of cones, and he immediately conducted a comprehensive combing of Saturn's rings, and found that the number of cones was more than expected, and they were widely distributed up and down the rings, starting at least three digits.

Upon further inspection, it was revealed that the thing was not stationary, but rather floated on the aura as if it were floating on water, sometimes floating and sometimes sinking.

Ou Zhanpeng immediately counted the distribution of the cones and found that these things were all located in the relatively thick rings of Saturn

Region.

This situation made everyone speculate.

In the blink of an eye, a week, and with six days to go before Saturn, the Yunhe was ready for battle.

Ou Zhanpeng was still observing the situation of the cone, and suddenly noticed an unusual reflection under one of the cones.

This anomaly caught the attention of Captain Ou, who immediately called Ling Xiao and the others, pointed to Saturn on the screen and said, "Prepare a satellite!"

"Roger!" Artillery Commander Li Keke said crisply, and immediately activated the electromagnetic cannon, "The artillery satellite is loaded!"

"20% of the transmit power!" Ou Zhanpeng said.

"20% power, launch!" Li Keke's little hand was lightly clicked, and one-fifth of the charging progress bar was instantly emptied, "Okay!"

She said with a smile.

She is a little girl with a collagen face, a cute apple muscle on her face, and her job title is that of a gun chief.

In Ou Zhanpeng's memory, both at home and abroad, the gun captains are all rough men with five big and three thick, and Li Keke is the only female gun captain.

The artillery satellite flew to Saturn at twice the speed of the battleship, and three days later, sent back a close-up image of the cone.

Everyone was amazed to find that those cones were not suspended above the aura, but that there were many filaments connected to the aura, like countless tentacles, tightly gripping small celestial bodies of different sizes.

On one of the sections, a dark shadow can be seen flying around in the aura.

Ou Zhanpeng blurted out: "Giant species!"

A series of discoveries on the satellite made the situation much clearer all of a sudden, and Captain Yu controlled the satellite to go deep into Saturn's rings to try to figure out the purpose of the alien species.

But after a while, several giant species with improvised fighters appeared in the camera, and after a while, Yunhe lost its satellite signal.

Captain Ou Da called up the route map of the battleship: "The situation is already obvious, the outer species are hidden in the rings of Saturn, this is our flight plan, we need to pass through here and here...... There are alien species in these two places, and the thickness of these places is not low, and the thinnest position is also tens of kilometers, unless the enemy takes the initiative to appear, it will be difficult for us to pull out the enemy ship."

Speaking of which, he magnified a small part of Saturn's rings: "The most troublesome problem is also here, we are not sure of the location of the enemy, and there is no way to tell whether the alien species is a threat to us." ….

The Yunhe doesn't need to pull out the aliens at all, because the speed of the battleship is amazingly fast, and the exhausted aliens don't want to catch up with the Yunhe.

Forget that the alien species is hidden in the depths of the halo, you hide yours and I will go mine, the well water on both sides does not violate the river water, I am afraid that the enemy will ambush at the edge of the halo, and suddenly give the battleship a moment when the Yunhe is transiting.

If the voyage is interrupted by aliens, Ou Zhanpeng can't find a place to cry, and if he is lucky, he can return to Earth, but if he is unlucky, he will have to leave Saturn directly.

After Ou Zhanpeng finished talking about the situation he was about to face, he turned to face everyone: "What do you think?"

"No idea." Ling Xiao spoke everyone's minds, "What do you say, it's over."

Ou Zhanpeng really wanted to punch this lazy guy twice, took a deep breath and said, "My plan is like this......

Three days later, Yunhe entered Saturn's gravitational range, and the farther it flew, the closer it got to Saturn's rings.

Ou Zhanpeng looked sideways at Saturn's rings, and a little uneasiness gradually appeared in his heart, and he always felt that there were countless peeping eyes hidden between the dense small celestial bodies.

"Coming to point one!"

Xu Qing's voice pulled Ou Zhanpeng's thoughts back to reality, and he immediately commanded in a deep voice, "Launch!"

The electromagnetic cannon immediately launched a missile, and with the blessing of electromagnetic force, the missile swept through the void at an extremely fast speed.

Ou Zhanpeng couldn't help but wonder, what kind of mood would the alien species hiding in Saturn's rings be when they witnessed this scene?

After a while, the missile flew to the outer side of Saturn's rings, and at the moment when the missile was about to penetrate the star ring, Ou Zhanpeng issued a detonation signal.

A dazzling light bloomed, dispelling the darkness around them

Moment, even Saturn is illuminated by this light.

The strong light dissipated, the crushed ice near the explosion point was melted by the strong light radiation, the liquid water boiled in a vacuum, and the water vapor gushed wantonly, blowing the originally orderly small celestial bodies into chaos, and countless small celestial bodies departed from their original orbits, entangled and collided, like a series of car accidents that were extremely tragic.

No matter what was hidden in the aura, it was impossible to rush out and harm the Yunhe in this situation.

But everyone's eyes were still fixed on the aura, and they didn't retract their gaze until the battleship passed smoothly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the battleship moved from the top of the aura to the bottom, and more cones came into everyone's sight, and they clinged to the aura like a swarm of insatiable parasites.

Ling Xiao suddenly came up with an idea, "Why don't we try it out?"

Ou Zhanpeng hesitated slightly, and immediately nodded: "Okay, boom!"

The cone is at a distance from the ship's orbit, which will not affect the safety of the ship, and knowing the details of this thing will be beneficial in the future against aliens.

Li Keke turned his head and looked cute: "Or an electromagnetic cannon?"

"No!" Ou Zhanpeng shook his head, "Thermoelectric cannon."

The electromagnetic cannon is a purely kinetic weapon, every time the cannon is fired, it will have a certain impact on the speed of the battleship, before it was necessary to use artillery missiles, but now there is no need for that, naturally it can not be used.

Li Keke did as he was told, a piece of the hull on the port side opened, and a thermoelectric cannon was raised, and after locking on the target, he immediately opened fire, and the invisible energy beam instantly hit the target. ….

To everyone's surprise, the cone neither exploded nor broke in two, but like a worm pierced by a steel needle, it suddenly flipped and twisted, and the filaments under it threw out a halo, tearing out a string of small celestial bodies flying around.

The nearby cones that were not hit by the thermal cannon also moved at this time, and they were like a group of frightened rabbits, cutting off the filaments under their abdomen one after another, and suddenly accelerated towards Saturn.

In a matter of moments, the cone flew towards Saturn, leaving only the one that had been hit by the Thermometer Cannon still twisting and rolling there.

Ou Zhanpeng's eyelids jumped: "Why do I think this thing is a living thing?"

"I feel the same way!" Ling Xiao said.

"It can't be another bug, right?" Xu Qing's eyes widened, and she couldn't imagine how such a big thing could be a bug.

"Probably not." Ou Zhanpeng said uncertainly.

He wanted to say that the earth and Jupiter were so far apart, and the alien species here definitely didn't know what the Zerg was, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that the alien species from Jupiter had used the Sea of Worms tactics to attack Luojian Mountain.

Isn't this what the Zerg look like?

As he spoke, the cones in the distance were also affected, and they flew towards Jupiter, causing everyone to be stunned for a while.

"Is this a chain reaction?" Ling Xiao touched his head and stared at the dense small celestial bodies in the halo for a moment.

"Leave them alone!" Ou Zhanpeng waved his hand, domineering and leaking, "As long as it doesn't affect us, what can I do!"

The battleship continued to fly, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation, but no aliens appeared until they crossed the second point of contact.

While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes couldn't help but turn to Saturn, looking at the cones that had fallen into Saturn.

"Look!" Li Keke suddenly pointed to the back, attracting everyone's attention.

Ou Zhanpeng pointed his fingertips, and the picture in that direction quickly zoomed in, only to see several cones falling into Saturn's atmosphere one after another, wrapped in a layer of flames.

But the situation soon changed, and the top of the cone cracked in the heat and suddenly expanded outward, and the slender awl suddenly turned into a giant mushroom.

They continued to sink, but it didn't take long for buoyancy to overcome inertia and float up from the clouds, like a swarm of jellyfish undulating in the water.

And this thing is also colorful, like colorful clouds, dressing up the originally monotonous Saturn in a fancy.

Just when everyone was surprised by this scene

As they do, more cones fall into Saturn, bursting and floating, eventually joining together.

"Oh my God!" Li Keke's eyes were full of little stars, "It's so beautiful!"

Ou Zhanpeng's face is dark, I don't know what it is, you are too beautiful here? Or is it good for our family to be fine...... Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked, good guy, Xu Qing also yearned for it.

If it weren't too far away, you would have to go up and touch it twice...... Do you still want to take two bites?

"You're pretty much done, do you know what that is?" Ling Xiao also looked disgusted, how unsound are these girls?

"Cut, use your mind!" Li Keke glared at Ling Xiao dissatisfied.

She has a good relationship with Xu Qing, and her daily scare belongs to politics. Treat it right.

"Hey, you're just a dog biting Lu Dongbin, if the alien species is good-looking, do you have to catch a few and take them home and raise them?"

Li Keke seemed to think about it seriously, and nodded vigorously: "It's not impossible!"

Ling Xiao turned his face to the other side, he really didn't know what to say.

"Alright, stop making a fuss." Ou Zhanpeng helped to solve the siege in time, "Launch another satellite to orbit Saturn at a distance, and comprehensively monitor the situation of Saturn."

There must be some unknown purpose for the alien species to engage in this thing, but I hope this thing is not harmful to humans!.
