The Wandering Planet

Ding Yi's proposal made many coalition government officials present find it unacceptable. This can be said to be a cosmic-level weapon of mass destruction. Once it starts, it cannot be stopped. It is as crazy as detonating all nuclear bombs on the earth, or even More than anything.

Luo Feng asked: "After paying such a heavy price, what's the use of obtaining the grand unified model of the universe?"

Ding Yi replied sincerely: "Let us know what happened in the universe, not just this plane, but the universe that includes all planes! At this level, it is already something that cannot be measured by value, at least I would give everything for it."

"Maybe what you get is not what you want to know." Qiao Lu said pointedly.

Qiao Lu knew that what Ding Yi pursued might be the ultimate beauty of cosmic harmony, and believed that the grand unified model of the universe was the ultimate pursuit of truth.

However, the truth is not necessarily beautiful. In the end, what is presented to him will not be the beauty of harmony, but the cruel truth that the universe is being ruined and the universe is dying.

Before everyone could argue to a conclusion, the alarm in the earth cab suddenly sounded.

Several red dots appeared on the hologram of the solar system, separated from the orbit of Jupiter, and accelerated towards this side.

"What's going on?" Luo Feng asked hastily.

The staff replied: "It is the space fleet observed before, and several interstellar warships are approaching!"

"Has it been discovered?"

"It's unlikely. Judging from the technology currently displayed, they shouldn't be able to observe us hidden under the world-cloaking sky screen."

"Then why—?"

This question was quickly answered. These red dots did not rush straight towards the wandering earth, but deviated a little from the course. It seemed that this was just a coincidence.

What's more, one of the red dots obviously deviated from the queue and rushed to the front.

The red dots at the back are arranged in an unconventional triangular formation, which looks like they are chasing the red dot at the front.

"Zoom in this location and switch to the real scene." Luo Feng ordered.

Immediately, the scene switched to Jupiter. A small sun suddenly appeared in Jupiter's orbit. Its intense light eclipsed the phosphorescence in the planet's atmosphere.

The interstellar battleship dragging the little sun slowly sailed out of the military port of the Asian Fleet, and then accelerated sharply, casting the shadows of other warships in the fleet onto the surface of Jupiter, and the size of each shadow might accommodate an Earth.

Ten minutes later, a larger shadow cast on Jupiter, as if to draw a curtain on the surface of this giant planet. This is the battleship passing Io, like a shooting star across the universe.

"We tapped their comm channel and are picking up the signal."

The staff in the earth cab tapped their fingers on the keyboard quickly, and a stern warning came from the tapped communication channel:

"Natural Selection, you are defecting!"

This sentence made everyone present feel relieved for the time being. It turned out that it was not the wandering earth that was discovered, but a star-class warship named Natural Selection that left the port without authorization, trying to escape from the solar system.

Zhang Beihai, the captain of the Natural Selection, made this decision. He ordered the entire ship to enter the deep sea state, and used his authority as a captain to defect, which led to the current scene.

Natural Selection passed through the orbits of Jupiter's sixteen large moons in sequence, and had reached Jupiter's escape velocity when it crossed the orbit of Callisto.

Seen from Fleet Base, the little sun dwindled to a bright star, but for a week,

The star is still faintly visible, and among the stars looms the fleet's unending pain.

The communication channel finally heard an echo from the Natural Selection: "I am the executive captain Zhang Beihai, and I want to talk directly to the fleet commander!"

Fleet Admiral: "I'm listening."

Zhang Beihai: "I am fully responsible for the departure of the Natural Selection."

Fleet Admiral: "Is there anyone else responsible?"

Zhang Beihai: "No, it's just me. This incident has nothing to do with the other members of the Natural Selection."

Fleet Commander: "Why did you defect?"

Zhang Beihai: "Separation is a fact, but I never defected!"

—————————————

The communication was suddenly interrupted here. After all, it was an eavesdropped message, and there was no way to maintain a good signal.

"I really don't know what Liu Peiqiang will think when he hears it." Qiao Lu muttered to himself.

Zhang Beihai and the Moss in the Wandering Earth project are simply printed out of the same mold, and their purpose is surprisingly similar, to preserve the fire for human civilization.

That's why he hijacked Natural Selection and escaped, just as Moss did when he piloted the Navigator space station off the wandering Earth.

"Anyway, since these warships are not directed at the wandering earth, let's not mind our own business." British representative George said.

In a sense, this is the business of the human civilization in Trisolaris, and how to deal with it is their business, and the Wandering Earth should not interfere.

Moreover, even with the addition of the four warships that were chasing, the total of five warships was still nothing compared to the combined fleet of more than 2,000 ships, and it was not worth paying too much attention to.

Qiao Lv had a different opinion, he suggested to Luo Feng:

"Things may not be that simple. I suggest sending the Wannian Fengxue to follow them, maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

In fact, Qiao Li is very sure that the matter will not end like this. Natural Selection and the four warships chasing it will raise the curtain of a dark battle on the other side of the universe. It is best for the Wandering Earth to intervene now. .

Even if space travel is impossible, the antimatter engine of Wannian Fengxue can travel at 90% of the speed of light, and can easily catch up with Natural Selection, which can only reach 15% of the speed of light, and follow it from a distance. Not a problem.

So far, the human fleet in Trisolaris is still using nuclear fusion technology, not even heavy nuclear fusion technology, and can only use hydrogen and helium on Jupiter as fusion fuel, which is not a little bit less efficient.

It's not even enough to be used as fuel, let alone energy-intensive components such as shields and barriers.

This made their battleships far inferior to the Wandering Earth fleet in quality. It wasn't that Qiao Lv looked down on them, but the Wannian Fengxue alone was enough to deal with the Natural Selection and the four battleships chasing it.

Luo Feng hesitated for a while, but finally accepted Qiao Lv's suggestion, and ordered:

"The Wannian Fengxue is preparing to set sail and is responsible for monitoring the fleeing fleet. The investigation team is also preparing to set off. We need more information to make a correct judgment!"

The goal of the Wandering Earth Investigation Team is of course the human civilization on this plane. What kind of situation the Wandering Earth is facing can only be known after careful investigation.
