217 Growth and progress

The wormhole opened and closed in an instant, and the star boat base passed through the wormhole in a very short time, as if a streamer appeared under the bright and magnificent starry sky.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Xu Qing and the female officers on the bridge got together, and there seemed to be shining stars in their eyes staring at the screen.

After dealing with the first batch of pig-nosed battleships, the Xingzhou did not leave immediately, but blocked two more batches of pig-nose battleships before leaving.

Hopefully, the enemy won't trouble the solar system when they discover the wreckage of the battleship left in Cygnus.

Ling Xiao pouted unabashedly, "As for it?"

"You know what!" Li Keke glared at Ling Xiao viciously and scolded in a low voice, "Wood!"

Gong Yiding laughed like an old father, and Ou Zhanpeng also hugged his arms to watch the excitement.

This is a nebula more than 700 light-years away from the solar system and 600 light-years deep into the beast-occupied area, and the stars hidden in the depths of the nebula illuminate a huge cloud with a diameter of more than ten light-years, red and yellow, and various colors are intertwined, full of unique beauty.

Surrounded by colorful nebulae, three stars emitting a dazzling blue glow entangle and circle each other.

It was a triple galaxy, all three of which were much larger than the Sun, the largest of which was more than thirty times more massive than the Sun.

Ou Zhanpeng searched for a long time, and he couldn't think of words that could accurately describe this scene, so he had to admit that his literary literacy was too far behind.

Xiao Luo jumped abruptly and jumped onto the table beside Ou Zhanpeng: "What do you think of here?"

Ou Zhanpeng touched the bottom, looking serious thinking: "It's not bad...... Gong Lao, what do you think?"

Gong Yiding sighed: "It's not a suitable place, let's make do for the time being."

The Milky Way is a multi-star system composed of binary stars, triple stars and even more stars, and the common feature of these galaxies is that the orbits of stars are complex, and it is difficult for planets born in this environment to have a stable environment, let alone an ecosystem and habitable environment.

From the known data, the most suitable environment for life is a stable celestial system similar to a single star in the solar system.

Therefore, the galaxy in front of us is definitely not suitable for biological development, even if it is just colonization.

But on the other hand, it's a great place to hide.

Ou Zhanpeng manipulated the equipment to scan the galaxy and soon obtained the orbital data of the three stars.

Two larger stars orbit each other, and the smallest star is actually located on the Lagrange point of both!

In addition to that, there are ...... Well, nine planets?

Ou Zhanpeng couldn't help but complain: "This place is too complicated!"

The others also nodded their heads, agreeing very much with Captain Ou Da's point of view - among the nine planets, only two giant planets orbit the mass stars of three stars, one with a semi-major axis close to 80 astronomical units, and the other is actually more than 90.

In the solar system, Neptune's semi-major axis is only 30 astronomical units, which shows how far the two planets orbit each other.

The other seven planets all revolve around star C, and if this star doesn't shine, it's a proper group of moons.

In such a galaxy, the gravitational relationships between stars and between stars and planets are intricate. ….

Ou Zhanpeng can fully imagine what a terrible hellish scene it is when the planet orbiting C turns between the three stars, and the three suns hang in the sky together.

"The more complicated it is, the easier it is to hide." Xiao Luo pointed to Stellar C wisely, "The planet there is a good fit for us."

Ou Zhanpeng immediately shook his head: "Forget it, that place is not suitable for anyone, it's better to hide at the edge of the galaxy."

Xiao Luo looked puzzled: "If we don't rely on planets, how can we develop?"

It's us, not you!

Ou Zhanpeng wanted to correct it, but thinking that everyone was now a grasshopper on a rope, he swallowed back the mean words.

"If you're worried about the environment, you don't have to." Xiao Luo said, "If I'm not mistaken, the environment of Planet 4

Yes, especially the poles, which only freeze briefly when they reach the outer side of the star, and the temperature at other times is very suitable."

The scan results of the Xingzhou are no different from what Xiao Luo said.

The equatorial temperature of planet C4 is more than 110 degrees, but the poles are only more than 20 degrees, which is very similar to a planet near the solar system.

It's just that there are not so many water resources on this planet, and the equatorial region is thousands of miles away, and only the two poles are suitable for human survival.

The four seasons are distinct.

Ou Zhanpeng pointed to the holographic projection: "We are not here to colonize, the base cannot appear in too conspicuous places, we can build a base on the planet, but the Star Boat cannot be close."

Xiao Luo shrugged: "You are the captain, listen to your ...... We have an abandoned base on planet C4 that we can put to good use."

Ou Zhanpeng nodded: "Thank you very much."

Sending Xiao Luo away, Captain Ou immediately drove the base to the edge of the galaxy, like other galaxies, there are a large number of scattered small celestial bodies, and the star boat base can be perfectly integrated into it, and there is no flaw in it.

Subsequently, the two warships left the base and jumped directly to the vicinity of planet C4 to conduct a full scan of the planet.

Although there are many scientific researchers in the base, they can leave the material support of the earth, and all kinds of research consumables will not last long, and they must find alternatives as soon as possible to continue the corresponding research.

It's not a problem that can be solved in a day or two.

And after overcoming the technical difficulties, it is also necessary to transform the technology into strength, although the base reserves some raw materials, but at most two more warships, without solving the problem of the source of materials, it is useless to have more technology.

For this reason, Ou Zhanpeng quietly found Gong Yiding: "Gong Lao, the research matter has to be handed over to you."

"Don't worry." Gong Yiding said.

Ou Zhanpeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Gong Lao, it is said that this place is indeed quite suitable, but I have always been unsteady in my heart."

"How?"

"Such a nice place, the people of Rohr don't use it themselves? Tell us to give it?" Ou Zhanpeng voiced his doubts.

Gong Yiding nodded: "It's a little unreasonable...... It's all this time, let's take one step at a time."

Ou Zhanpeng nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I still think that hiding here is not a solution, the enemy can't find the Star Boat base, can he not find trouble on the earth?"

"What do you think?" Gong Yiding asked.

"At the very least, there must be two warships out to reconnoitre, and even if you can't find the enemy's location, you can't be ignorant of the situation outside, right? Hiding in this hellish place and climbing the tech tree, when will it be a head?" ….

Gong Yiding's eyes were strange: "You want to go out with the Star Boat again?" Leave the base here, is it appropriate?"

Ou Zhanpeng shook his head: "I won't tell you anything, I have been chased by the pig-nosed battleship before, I really didn't think much about it, now that I think about it, isn't it inappropriate for us to throw the earth and run here to hide." It feels like he has the ability to defend his home, and he knows that the robbers are coming, but he throws away thousands of family materials and runs away with guns, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Without waiting for Gong Yiding to answer, he went down to his own heart and said, "Let's stay in the solar system, even if the enemy knocks on the door, we can use the Xingzhou base as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the enemy. And now? We're safe, what about the Earth?"

He never thought that Starship was more important than Earth.

Although the Star Boat has extremely advanced technology, but the technology can be developed slowly, if the earth is gone, what is the point of leaving only the Star Boat?

In fact, you can't blame Ou Zhanpeng, although he has the control of the Xingzhou base and has the power to talk directly to the bigwigs, but he is only a low-level officer, and he knows nothing about strategic deployment and other things, once it comes to the safety of the earth, his brain can't help but heat up and make some irrational decisions.

Now that I have completely calmed down, I have rethought it and realized that my previous decision was not so rational.

Gong Yiding was silent for a moment: "Then you."

What do you want to do?"

"Find someone to inquire about the enemy's situation first, and if there is news, there will be a strategic deterrence, and if there is no news, go back to the solar system and wait!"

Gong Yiding sighed: "I'm just a researcher, I don't know anything about military affairs at all, at most, I just help you calculate the odds, and you have to make your own decisions about what to do...... Actually, you've already made up your mind, right? Just want a little support from me, don't you?"

"You're right." Ou Zhanpeng smiled, "Before, I always wanted to use the power of the Rohr people to fight the enemy, but now that I think about it, why should we unite with the Rohr people? Why should people help us? Besides, even if they are reluctantly united, who listens to whom? Do we have to hand over the base to the Rohr people in exchange for a little protection from the other party's handouts? It's hard to hand over the initiative and get it back."

"Then do what you want." Gong Yiding smiled in understanding.

Prior to this, whether it was a strategic deterrence plan, a fight against an alien civilization or a blockade of star beasts, Ou Zhanpeng most of the time considered tactical issues.

Even when it comes to strategic issues, it is a tactical way to solve them.

However, this time, it is really thinking from a strategic point of view, which shows that Ou Zhanpeng has indeed improved.

It's a great thing for both the base and the humans.

Ou Zhanpeng, who made the decision, did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the battleship to return, and then the Xingzhou base flew away from the nebula, and when it reappeared, it was already near the secret stronghold of the Legon people.

Before he could contact the edged person, Gong Yiding suddenly showed a surprised look: "That Xiao Luo wants to see you!"

Ou Zhanpeng was slightly stunned: "I don't see!"

Although he arranged the Luoer people inside the base and couldn't see the situation outside, the feeling when he walked through the wormhole couldn't deceive people, and when he came to find it at this time, he must have found something. ….

But then again, the Rohrians are only temporarily living here, and it is not the Róhr's turn to worry about the human decision.

Gong Yiding nodded, and immediately conveyed Ou Zhanpeng's meaning.

Ling Xiao muttered, "What do the Rohr people want to do?"

"Whatever they want, just ignore them." Ou Zhanpeng said.

A prompt sounded, and the edged man was contacted, and the image of the other party appeared in the middle of the cabin.

"How can I help you, my friend." The edged people are as polite as ever.

"Hello, my friend." Ou Zhanpeng was straightforward, "Have you heard about Cygnus X?"

"Yes, I heard that, I'm sorry."

Ou Zhanpeng got to the point: "I want to know, where did those pig-nosed battleships come from, do you have any news about them?"

The man shook his head helplessly, "I'm sorry, we've never heard of this kind of warship."

"What about the three civilizations? Are they the three major civilizations that resist the Star Beast?"

"I've heard it from the Rohres, but my friend, you know the scope of our activities, and we've never been in contact with the three major civilizations."

"Do you know who has ever been in contact with the three major civilizations? Or, where can I find the Star Thieves who have come into contact with the three major civilizations?"

"I'm sorry, there's really nothing we can do." The man still shook his head, "I can find a relationship and inquire, but it's hard to say when the result will be."

"Alright then, I'm sorry for you." Ou Zhanpeng couldn't hide the loss in his heart, "Inform me as soon as there is news, you know where to find us."

"Don't worry, definitely!"

At the end of the communication, a unit of gold floated out of the Starship base and was delivered to the Edged People.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and if he wants information, he naturally has to pay a little price.

"What to do? Will you go back to Earth?" Ling Xiao asked.

Ou Zhanpeng hesitated in his heart, and was about to speak, when the alarm suddenly exploded, startling everyone's hearts.

"What's wrong?" Ou Zhanpeng asked urgently.

"It's a Rohr!" Gong Yiding said.

Ou Zhanpeng waved his hand, and a projection of a corridor appeared in the middle of the cabin, one about the same height as a human

The robot smashed open the hatch with its fist and ran along the passage at breakneck speed.

"Where did this thing come from?" Ou Zhanpeng carefully recalled that when the Rohr people entered the base, there was only one lifeboat, and when they entered the cabin, there were only a dozen Rohr people and their luggage......

In retrospect, it seems like there is a lot of luggage, but it can't be combined with such a big robot, right?

Gong Yiding called up the surveillance records, and saw Xiao Luo waving his hand in the cabin, and more than a dozen Luo people deformed together with their luggage, assembled and connected together, and turned into a thin and tall black robot.

Ling Xiao was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched: "What do they want to do?"

"What else can you want, I'm running to the bridge." Gong Yiding said.

Ou Zhanpeng's eyes froze: "Everyone, stick to your posts!"

With that, he turned around and walked into the portal, teleported directly to the equipment cabin, and stepped onto the equipment table.

The mechanical arm immediately pierced the power armor on his body.

At the same time, the Rahr robot has rushed to the outside of Portal 7 - every time he enters and exits the bridge, he does so through Gate 7.

Door 7 did not close, Xiao Luo manipulated the robot to crash into it, thinking that it would appear in the bridge, but when he rushed out of the portal, he found that it was not a bridge at all, but an extremely empty cabin.

Ou Zhanpeng, who was heavily armed, stood opposite him.

Xiao Luo turned and rushed into the portal, expecting to return to the previous corridor, but everything in front of him did not change in the slightest.

"Don't waste your energy." Ou Zhanpeng's voice was low, "Say, what do you want to do!".

Cracks in the metal
