"Although all the unmanned detectors were used and it took ten days, but so far, only a search within a hundred light-years from the route has been completed, and there is no guarantee that all existing celestial bodies have been discovered." Yuyang paused for a while before saying, "Of course, compared with the entire Greenwich Meteorite Belt, the area we searched and explored is still a very small part."
Yang Yi didn't say a word, let Yuyang continue.
It took ten days to search for such a small area. The responsibility is not on Yuyang, but because there are too few unmanned detectors carried by the fleet. To be precise, Yang Yi didn't expect to encounter this situation before setting off, so he didn't make any extra preparations for it.
"The specific situation is here." Yuyang showed a starry sky map. "Each light spot represents a celestial body with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers, and the red light spot indicates that it has been invaded by silicon beasts, the green one indicates that it has not been invaded, and the yellow one indicates that the situation has not yet been determined."
Yang Yi glanced at the starry sky map and frowned.
Other people's expressions are similar, because most of the dense light spots are red, and green and yellow are very few.
"Only these?" Shen Chengwen asked.
In the past ten days, Shen Chengwen led the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade, with the support of battleships, destroying more than ten celestial bodies that had been invaded by silicon beasts. Although they were all small celestial bodies, and the battle went smoothly without any trouble, Shen Chengwen had already thought that in the vast Greenwich meteorite belt, it was certainly not only the celestial bodies near this route that were invaded by silicon beasts. If similar things happen elsewhere, then the wild silicon beasts entering the Greenwich Meteor Belt from the Northern Alpha Galaxy must be scary. There is no doubt that this is by no means a natural phenomenon. You know, there is no planet suitable for the survival of silicon beasts in the Greenwich meteorite belt. In other words, only under the persecution and threat of external factors, wild silicon beasts will leave the planet where they thrive and venture to other galaxies. Even so, wild silicon beasts will not take the initiative to enter the Greenwich meteorite belt. Only when there is no suitable habitat, will we go to the Greenwich meteorite belt. Obviously, the wild silicon beasts going southward must be related to the Silicon Charm Alliance.
"Unmanned detectors have surveyed those celestial bodies that have not been invaded and made a major discovery." Yuyang Chang said, "These celestial bodies that have not been invaded have a common feature, that is, the mass is too small. Some are even hollow structures. Simply put, these celestial bodies are not suitable for silicon beasts to survive, and even after being transformed by earth dragons, they are not ideal places for silicon beasts to lay their eggs."
"what do you mean… "
"In other words, after excluding these celestial bodies that are not suitable for beast dens, all the larger celestial bodies within 100 light-years of the route have been invaded by silicon beasts. Because no large celestial bodies have been discovered so far, we cannot be sure. Are large celestial bodies also invaded by silicon beasts."
Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, and his expression immediately became gloomy. The words Yuyang said afterwards were the key.
"Obviously, we can't rule out this possibility." Yang Yi said at this time, "Maybe, what we found now is only the tip of the iceberg."
"The key is, what can we do?" Lin Feng said immediately.
Yang Yi nodded slightly, saying nothing more. Lin Feng rushed to speak, in fact, to remind Yang Yi not to mention his plan in front of Barnes.
"What we can do is to do our best to ensure that the route is unimpeded. Although these celestial bodies are far away from the route, some are still dozens of light years away, but as long as there is enough time, the silicon that hatches on these celestial bodies Beasts will pose a threat to the route, especially those high-level silicon beasts. The attack power of a level 10 silicon beast is equivalent to a small battleship, and a level 12 silicon beast is equivalent to a capital ship. More importantly, Silicon beasts have no brains and will attack any enemy that poses a threat indiscriminately." Yang Yichang exhaled and said, "Obviously, we have to spend some time dealing with this trouble. It seems that we cannot pass the Greenwich Meteorite Belt as planned. NS."
"From a long-term perspective, it's okay to spend more time." Yuyang said.
Yang Yi nodded and looked at Shen Chengwen.
"As long as there is something to do, we can't leave the threat to the transport fleet behind. Even if we cannot pass through the Greenwich Meteor Belt as planned, as long as we can ensure unimpeded logistics and transportation, we will be able to catch up with the delay in the future. return."
"His Royal Highness?" Yang Yi turned his gaze to Barnes.
"Whether it is to ensure the safety of the route or remove the threats ahead, it takes a lot of time. In addition, the current findings have proved that there is a problem with our intelligence system." Barnes sighed secretly and said, "You have no objection. If so, I plan to go back."
"Now?" Lin Feng looked at Barnes immediately.
Barnes nodded and said: "This route is provided by us, and there are hundreds of space nodes ahead. If there is a problem with our intelligence system, it means that all the information related to the route is available. Question. If you can’t find out the reason, I’m afraid there will be more troubles in the future. Not only for you, but also for myself, for the hidden spirit race, I have to find out the situation."
Lin Feng wanted to say something, Yang Yi shook his head at her.
"His Royal Highness, I believe you." Yang Yi stepped forward and said, "It's just that you should also know that we can't keep delaying."
"Ten days, fifteen days at most." Barnes exhaled, "Regardless of whether the situation is found out, I will return within fifteen days. If it goes well, ten days will be enough."
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said: "Okay, we will take 15 days. At that time, no matter whether your Highness returns with reliable information, we will continue to move forward. Just, please remember that if we fail Now, it’s not just the Human Federation that has suffered."
"Of course."
Yang Yi didn't say much, and Barnes knew that everyone didn't trust him absolutely, so they didn't ask themselves to be boring, so he left immediately. Because all the space jump nodes on the route back to the Southern Alpha Galaxy have been mastered, even if there is no warship, Barnes can rely on his space fighter to return to the "forward" post. Of course, with accurate route information, it will not take much time.
After Barnes left, Yang Yi reopened the topic.
"We have done exploration and there are no large celestial bodies nearby." Yuyang first introduced the situation. "The nearest large celestial body is about 150 light-years away. Based on the information sent by the unmanned detector, it can be roughly concluded that this celestial body has not been invaded by silicon beasts."
"How old is it?"
Yuyang didn't get too wordy, and called up a three-dimensional structure map of the planet.
After watching carefully for a while, Yang Yi let out a sigh of relief.
This is a planet with a diameter of about four thousand kilometers, and there is naturally occurring water. It's just because the temperature is too low that everything freezes into ice. In addition, this celestial body has existed for billions of years, and the conclusion drawn from the detection data is that the celestial body was originally a planet in a certain star system, which was separated from the star system under the influence of external factors. The key is that the celestial body has the necessary conditions for human reproduction.
"Now, we have only done preliminary exploration, and it will take more time to complete the full exploration, so as to determine whether the celestial body is suitable for transformation into our home."
"how long?"
"The specific situation is unclear, and Carlson has not yet submitted an evaluation report."
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "Send a few more detectors to find out the situation of the celestial body as soon as possible, and then let Carlson evaluate it. If the conditions are more satisfactory, let him be responsible for the reconstruction work. Even if the conditions are not ideal, Also monitor closely."
Yuyang nodded, showing that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
The point is that in the Greenwich Meteor Belt, large celestial bodies are too rare. Such celestial bodies with water and the size of planets are even more difficult to find. If you plan to make a home in the Greenwich meteorite belt, then no such celestial body can be let go.
In a sense, these celestial bodies are the hope of mankind.
At the beginning, Barnes was here, so Yang Yi couldn't speak directly. In any case, it is still impossible to let outsiders know, let alone Barnes, even the Queen of the Star Soul doesn't know Yang Yi's plan.
"What do you think about these?" Yang Yi changed the subject.
No one spoke, everyone was thinking.
"Just say what you have." Yang Yi sighed and said, "We can't go back, so no matter how dangerous the front is, we can only move on."
"Obviously, there must be something bad in the Silicon Charm Alliance." Yuyang first said, "Otherwise, there would not be so many wild silicon beasts entering the Greenwich meteorite belt. Normally, as long as there is no place to live. If they are destroyed, the wild silicon beasts will not leave. As for the legendary high-level silicon beasts with extremely high intelligence, I am afraid that they have long been extinct, at least we have not encountered them."
Yang Yi smiled faintly and didn't say much.
"Maybe, we have to consider another situation."
"what's the situation?"
"This is not the natural migration of wild silicon beasts, and it has nothing to do with the changes in the living environment. Maybe the Silicon Charm Alliance deliberately drove these wild silicon beasts into the Greenwich meteorite belt." Shen Chengwen paused for a while, and said, "This change Affect the Greenwich Meteor Belt to prevent us. In any case, the Silicon Charm Alliance is not capable of guarding the entire Greenwich Meteor Belt and allowing wild silicon beasts to invade the celestial bodies in the Meteor Belt. Not only can it cause us trouble, but it can also help us. The purpose of unable to establish a stronghold. It is just a route, and there are not enough strongholds along the way, so the value of this route will obviously not be much."
Yang Yi nodded slightly, agreeing with Shen Chengwen's point of view.
"Why are all celestial bodies affected, including those that are so small that they are of little value?" Lin Feng asked, and then said, "Also, I think we should pay more attention to the incidental effects of this matter, to be precise. Why is it now, why is it used this way."
