Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, 150 years have passed.

In the quiet and vast space, the Feitian arrived at the edge of this ribbon of light.

The second spiral arm has finally arrived.

After releasing hibernation.

Feitian, in the bridge control hall.

"The density of stars in this spiral arm is at least 30% greater than scientists estimated. The average distance between stars in many areas is only 1 to 2 light years. There are even many binary star systems and triple star systems... This spiral arm has The arm is far more lively than the third spiral arm, and it is the 'bustling area' of the Milky Way."

The federal scientist on the screen said.

More than 750 years have passed, and the Federation, which has made breakthroughs in more advanced ultra-long-distance quantum communication technology, has actually achieved high-definition video with the Feitian through the communication equipment on the Feitian, which only has 100 photons that are still in the state of quantum entanglement. The delay in the conversation was less than 2 seconds... Yun Xinghe was shocked by the rapid progress of federal communication technology.

Naturally, Feitian also sent some photos of the second spiral arm to the Starry Space Exploration Agency.

So there was a conversation with this Exploration Agency scientist.

In addition, Yun Xinghe also asked about the current development situation of the Federation.

"The Federation is very powerful now. It has 1,076 habitable galaxies and more than ten trillion people. With the help of the floating stone element, the Federation has achieved two technological explosions. The three-eyed people have helped even more. Their The precision machining technology allows the Federation to easily utilize the resources inside the star... These are all contributions made by the Feitian, and the Feitian is now a household name in the Federation... The selfless dedication of our predecessors is admirable and respectable!"

The scientist on the screen said with a look of reverence.

"How is Pandora now? Has it been completely destroyed?" Yun Xinghe asked the question he most wanted to know the answer to.

"No, with the help of the three-eyed man, scientists developed an atomic penetration network and mined most of the remaining floating stones. It was just that the planet Pandora became a very ordinary planet, and the Lanwei people were also big Some of them have left their home planet and are contributing to various causes of the Federation... Captain Yun, the Federation is not a short-sighted private interest group, and the Federation will never take advantage of it."

"That's good."

Yun Xinghe nodded. The wisdom of the federal government can be trusted. Fortunately, the scene described by the old man did not occur.

"The development of technology will always bring us an additional choice. We don't have to completely expose the ugly side. The ultimate goal is achieved, and the moral bottom line is also taken care of. It can be said to have the best of both worlds." The old man in his mind sighed.

"Captain, the galaxy ahead is almost here. We can finally replenish supplies and fuel." After passing through the Oort Nebula, Lan Xiulong pointed to the orange star ahead.

"Great! I almost vomited after eating the nutritious meals produced by the printer! I want to eat raw steak, and I want to eat fruits and vegetables!"

Sugaru cheered, waving his arms.

Now there is very little fuel and material left on the Feitian. In order to slow down, a considerable part of the living materials on the spacecraft have been thrown into the reactor and medium chamber, including 800 tons of water, 200 tons of ore elements, and some unused materials. Tools and weapons and ammunition.

The agricultural cabin has stopped working long ago, the meat growth tank no longer produces meat, and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are no longer available. The monotonous and tasteless printed food makes the crew members lose their mouths and complain again and again at meal time.

Only the three-eyed people who can survive without eating and only need to recharge their batteries are in good condition.

But the crew of the Feitian was very excited at the thought of being able to enter the star system ahead and replenish urgently needed supplies.

"Strange, this star system is a bit strange."

After launching the detection device first and sending back some data pictures, Zhi Nao Xiaokong discovered something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Xiao Kong?" Yun Xinghe asked.

"This galaxy is not an uninhabited galaxy. There is life in it." Xiaokong said.

"I don't see any signs of life. The planets in this star system are extremely desolate, without any living things." Yun Xinghe said after looking at several pictures on the projection screen.

"Xiaokong, let me enlarge the picture for you. Take a look at Planet No. 4. What is on its surface?" Xiaokong enlarged one of the pictures, circled an area and said to him.

Yun Xinghe's eyes came closer and he was immediately startled.

Holes, densely packed holes.

There are too many to count, just like the microscopic surface of a piece of activated carbon, filled with countless irregular holes.

"Xiaokong, what's going on with these holes?" Lan Xiulong on the side was also surprised and asked Xiaokong.

"I don't know. There is no record of this kind of hole in Xiaokong's database."

"Hey, it looks a bit like the nest of some kind of creature? By the way! I remembered that I played a game before. There was a Zerg planet in it, and the surface was also densely covered with holes."

Weapons Officer Gu Fan said, he felt a bit familiar.

"Zerg? Is this impossible? Scientists have explained that those who can survive without oxygen, are not afraid of the vacuum of more than 200 degrees below zero, are not afraid of cosmic rays and sunlight, and can move freely in space relying on their own biological energy. It is impossible for such creatures to exist... If they do exist, they will not be Zerg, they must be interstellar behemoths with a fusion reactor inside their bodies," Sugaru said.

"Whether it is Zerg or not, these holes on Planet 4 are definitely not formed under natural conditions. There must be something unknown underneath these holes."

"It's better to be cautious and increase our observation of this planet."

Yun Xinghe said.

"Yes, Captain!"

…

half year later.

The Feitian, whose speed dropped to 0.01C, is only about 10 astronomical units away from its destination, the gaseous planet No. 5 with a diameter of 30,000 kilometers.

The Feitian's supply plan is: first go to Planet 5 to replenish the hydrogen element used as fuel or acceleration medium, then find a heavy element planet, or directly grab a few meteorites from the asteroid belt to replenish the heavy elements on the spacecraft.

However, in this star system, whether it is the asteroid belt or gaseous planet No. 5, the orbits of planet No. 4 are very close to each other by coincidence, and they are not particularly far away.

At this time, it is only 1.5 astronomical units away.

So two days later, when they were about to arrive at gaseous planet No. 5, the observers on duty on the Feitian saw an eye-popping sight.

"insect!"

"Countless bugs are flying towards us!"

Du Xiaopang yelled and quickly reported the situation.

"insect?"

Yun Xinghe was startled, and quickly asked Zhi Nao Xiaokong to open the ultra-high-definition telescope. Sure enough, he saw countless black dots, densely spraying out from the nests on the surface of Planet 4, and countless insect-like creatures. The tail drags blue flames, about the size of a space fighter, and has various shapes, some like locusts, some like beetles, and some like a mantis whose forearms grow into two broadswords.

"Zerg, are there really Zerg?" Sugaru opened his eyes wide, and his outlook was suddenly refreshed.

"Captain, the number of ejected insect creatures is estimated to exceed 20 billion, with a speed exceeding 3 million kilometers per hour. It is expected to arrive in 80 hours." Zhi Nao Xiaokong said.

"So fast? Can the Feitian complete its fuel supply before these insect creatures arrive?"

Yun Xinghe asked, these insect creatures are actually not very fast, and the Feitian can easily get rid of them. But now the Feitian's fuel reserves have almost reached the limit, and it is impossible to speed up or slow down at will. The replenishment of supplies must be completed first.

"Yes, but after the supply is completed, the spacecraft will be overtaken by some insect creatures and cause certain contact. Therefore, in order to ensure absolute safety, it is recommended to adopt a certain delay interception." Xiaokong said.

"What are the offensive weapons currently available for the spacecraft?"

"There are also three super large water droplets."

"Put out all the water droplets and intercept those Zerg!" Yun Xinghe made a prompt decision and ordered the release of all the water droplets.

"Yes, Captain!"

This instruction made the three-eyed people cheer collectively: "Water droplets, our water drops are finally useful! Go ahead and crush them, the three-eyed people's treasure!"

The crew members in the control hall also gathered together, staring at the screen, looking at the three giant water droplets that released the spacecraft, their eyes full of anticipation.

Water Drops VS Zerg.

A big war is about to begin!
