Chapter 245 Development Fleet
Chapter 245: Development Fleet
"How long will it take to enter the 136 star field?" Andre asked after taking the last sip of juice squeezed with vermillion fruit.
Andrei, Han Zhen, is one of the real children. His private nickname is "Rose", a title that has been depressed for decades. It is also one of the limited number of people Han Zhen can fully trust. In addition, he also has an extremely smart mind and control methods, and he is also a big shot in Han Zhen's team.
"General, if everything is normal, you will arrive at the 136 star field in 28 hours." Andrei was equipped with seven adjutants, and there were only two in the command room. One of them was staring at the front of the podium and answered immediately after hearing Andrei's question.
Andre is the commander-in-chief of the Han family's exploration fleet. There are more than 3,000 development ships in the family that have been purchased directly or transformed by themselves, all of which are managed and commanded by him. They are an independent military organization. Andre's current military rank is only major general, but everyone knows that this is temporary. Not to mention the importance of the lord Han Zhen's development work, even compared with the more than 200,000 warships that Han Zhen now owns, the development fleet also seems to be too small. But there is no way. The price of the development ship is high, and it is difficult to buy it here. Moreover, Han Zhen does not want people to notice that he is fighting the wilderness, which makes the development fleet expanding speed unsatisfactory, and Andre has been complaining all the time.
Fortunately, the PT8-3 advanced development ships obtained from West joined in, which increased Andre's development fleet's strength a lot. You should know that these 100 are definitely two different concepts from the previous development ships. The gap is as big as regular elites and farmers. It is precisely because of these that Andre's back can stand a little straight. Now Andre has moved the flagship to one of the PT8-3 development ships, and has started in-depth exploration of the wild star field with a fleet composed purely of them.
Andrei put down his wine glass and got up from the exquisitely crafted and extremely comfortable wooden lounge chair. Don't wonder why there is such a casual thing in the command room. As soon as the fleet sails, it counts time in the past month. No matter how large the warships are, the space for crew movements is not as comfortable as on the planet. Not many people can bear it if they don't find something to do to kill time.
"Reid, are we so lucky over the past year?!" Andrei looked at a newly marked galaxy map and suddenly broke out a sentence. This galaxy map is a special picture of the wild star domain area. Most of them are black, with only more than a hundred small dots connected together. These dots are the stellar systems they have reached. They start with the word "Lin", which means temporary.
"There are 135 star systems, and no planet is found. Even if there is one of the first-class stars! But except for some mineral stars that are not very useful, you can't see any one that can attract attention!" Andre continued with some depression, "I don't know how the other nine teams are doing? If they are much taller than us, it's hard to find a place to put it!"
Reed was the adjutant who answered Andre’s question. Now that he heard this, he didn’t know how to answer for a while. After thinking for a while, he said: “General, didn’t we discover a planet before we came out? According to the planet’s appearance rate, it was already very good! The mission given to us by the Lord’s bus is to open the waterway as the first mission. So far, we have arrived in 22 star systems and drawn a waterway of more than 800 light years. This result is already very good!”
"That's right, but now with pt8-3, the area we are detecting has never been developed before. It's really unreasonable to find a few planets. Even if no one says it, I'm still unwilling to accept it!" Andrey said. It seems that Reed's comforting effect is not great.
The planet mentioned here refers to a planet suitable for human habitation, which is commonly referred to as an administrative planet. According to galaxy research experts, it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 250 billion stars, but there will be no more than one million administrative planets suitable for human habitation. This is also included in the first-class secondary planets that can be transformed. If these secondary planets are eliminated, the natural administrative planets may not exceed 200,000.
There are nine teams, plus the one led by Andre himself, in total, there are ten of them. These ten are ten PT8-3 development ships. As for other development ships, Andre has not brought any of them. If those development ships are used near, short-distance detection is still useful, but this time it is specially conducted for long-distance and long-distance, only PT8-3 can be competent.
Originally, Han Zhen didn't want Andre to come out to command a team alone. It was too dangerous in the wild star field. Even if it was PT8-3, I dare not say that this path exploration mission would definitely ensure safety. There are too many variables! But Andre was determined to come out. Finally, after pestering Han Zhen for a week, Han Zhen was so big that he could only agree.
"General, this is unhurried. Although it has not been during this period, according to estimates, we have to pass through more than 350 star systems. In this case, we may have a chance to find another administrative planet." Another adjutant interrupted.
Although it is not as small as looking for a needle in the sea, it is definitely not big. Even if it is not discovered through a star system of 10,000 or even 100,000, it is normal. In addition, it is a wild star domain, which makes the probability even smaller. Andre complained that it was just because he had been exploring the administrative stars and other areas that had been explored in areas around the secondary stars. It is not as long as he has been away for several years now, and he is a little uncomfortable. In addition, when he first set off, he was lucky to find an administrative star, three primary secondary stars that could be transformed, which made him think that this was a dense area of administrative planets and gave him some illusion.
Since he did this detection, even if there were no two adjutants to help him figure it out, Andrei would figure it out, and after he nodded his head, he would call out the first administrative planet he discovered in his life and appreciate it again.
Andre's luck was absolutely excellent. No one expected that when he separated from the other nine teams and stepped out of the original territory of the Robin Pirates to the first star system on the route, he discovered the four excellent planets. This is amazing. After transformation, it is a star of the four planets, and it is extremely important wherever it is placed. A star in the universe is much more important than a few individual planets, because it is suitable for large-scale mechanized management, warship production lines, warship repair factory areas, warehouse groups, and almost every star above three planets have become an extremely important base for a country. After Han Zhen learned about it, he was also unable to avoid the customs. He immediately asked Du Guosheng to be responsible for the transformation and built it into an important base at the fastest speed. He named it as a "Born" star in the wild star field, becoming one of the three star stars starting with the word "Born".
What made Han Zhen even happier was that there were more than 20 secondary stars next to these four planets, three to five of which could be transformed using their unique druid method. It would take a long time, but it would definitely be able to transform successfully. It can be said that the development legion has made Han Zhen more motivated to develop the wild star field.
For more than twenty hours, for those who have been on the development ship for many years, they only took a nap. More than a hundred repeated work and more than a hundred disappointments have long eliminated Andre's initial excitement. Because of his responsibilities, he still appeared in the command room early, but as before, he slowly shook the lounge chair and tasted the prepared vermillion juice bit by bit.
There are only seven PT8-3 ships in this fleet, with thick skin and thick flesh. Those three have returned to the territory through the newly discovered jump points to report information. This is to prevent the danger caused by the annihilation of the development fleet and to allow subsequent supply troops to follow up. After all, a single development ship cannot go much far in completely unfamiliar areas.
Seven development ships gradually approached the Nei-136 star system. Not long after entering, an abnormality was discovered by the powerful self-propelled radar system.
"General! Signs of civilization were found in 136..." Reed, an adjutant sent to the radar room, shouted loudly in the hologram screen.
When Andre heard this, he couldn't sit still and jumped up. He was good at it and didn't even spill the juice in the wine glass. He didn't even have time to put down the wine glass, so he stepped into the front of the podium a few steps.
Sure enough, there are signs of civilization! Andrei took a look and confirmed it. Although the radar now sees extremely abstract patterns, the moving light spots that can revolve around the planet can tell at a glance that this is not a naturally formed meteorite, it is definitely the same as a warship or an artificial satellite!
"The whole is slowing down! The tangent surface turns 180 degrees and enters defense mode. At the same time, fifty spy satellites are launched to the planet!" Andrey shouted after connecting all the development ships. Before he could determine who it was here, Andre chose the plan to retreat at any time. After all, the development fleet is mainly based on path exploration. Firepower and speed are not his strength. Although his skin is thicker, it cannot withstand intensive attacks!
Everyone stared at the slow slowdown of the warship, paying attention to the sudden sign of civilization without blinking. Andrei's head was even cold sweating. He couldn't blame him for being so worried. Who knows who is here? If it's a pirate, it will be troublesome and he doesn't even have a chance to run.
The first thing to determine is the moving objects. It is indeed a warship. The size and speed are not other than the warship. Meteorites and natural satellites that can revolve around the planet will definitely not be as fast as this! Andre looked at each other and saw it in the eyes of the other party and was shocked.
Fortunately, as the planet got closer and closer, the radar saw more clearly. Suddenly, everyone in the entire command room made a lot of relief. There were only more than a dozen warships that could appear on the radar. After synchronous analysis, they all found that they were little guys less than 500 meters in size, and their speed was extremely slow! Well, it was very similar to the warships used on Earth thirty years ago.
"It can be temporarily confirmed that this should not be a pirate, but a civilization that has just stepped out of the planet." Andrei poured half of the wine glass he was holding, poured the remaining juice into his mouth before putting it aside, took out a towel, wiped the beans on his hands and forehead.
There is no need to be afraid of a low-level civilization, but Andre's cautious personality prevented him from contacting immediately: the force that can be seen is indeed not worth mentioning, but it is not yet certain whether this civilization is a human civilization. It is better to be careful to drive a ten thousand-year-old ship!
The order is still being executed. The warship completed the tenth of the hull after the warship turned, and the spy satellite also sent back the first batch of information. These spy satellites were all original configurations when they bought pt8-3, and all had extremely high invisibility functions. Not to mention that this is basically impossible for the first to second level civilizations to detect. Even ordinary strong pirates, it is difficult to find this air spy that deliberately stretches a long distance.
"There are buildings on three planets! Two of them have low development levels and the large-scale immigration period does not last more than two hundred years...; analyzing warships can be sure that they are first-level civilizations! Analyzing their armors, they cannot perform interstellar jumps..." The adjutant assigned to the staff room combined multiple analysis results and sent them over.
"Preliminary comparison of appearance can be confirmed to be a civilization established by humans! The similarity has reached more than 90 years!...; mining of minerals outside the planet has begun, and it has appeared on the twelve surrounding planets..."
"After a comprehensive physical comparison, it can be confirmed that it has a similarity of more than 95% to the earthlings and can be attributed to the human race! ... There are suspended vehicles, with a small number and extremely backward technology..."
"The population is estimated to be around 10 billion, and the main star accounts for more than 90%...."
As the spy satellite approached, especially after seeing that the other party could not notice it, the fifty satellites were already tightly attached to the planet, and the messages sent were becoming more and more detailed. For a whole day, Andre did not let the development ship approach, and just touched the first-class civilization through, and the good news they got was one after another.
Chapter completed!
