He Xiuran walked in. There was already another person here.

Xiao Ping stood outside the double glass, silently watching the sleeping Saixi. When He Xiuran came to him, he said, "How is it? Is there any fruit on the seed?"

He Xiuran shook his head silently: "There is a discovery, but it cannot be called a result. Half an hour ago, we found a strange moving object 30,000 kilometers away, and now we are temporarily deviating from the route to avoid it."

The routes delineated by the crystal cluster are not absolutely safe. Under the macro scale, any small probability will be amplified over a long period of time. They have encountered many strange and strange things along the way. Fortunately, those things seem to be not fleets of other civilizations, but some unknown in the deep space, so most of them can be observed in advance and avoided.

The seed is actually just one of them. It is only because it has connections with the fleet and its risk is relatively low that the federal fleet chooses to take action against it.

That crystal cluster is not a god, it can only choose the optimal and relatively safe route. Once an accident occurs, the federal fleet needs to solve and deal with it themselves.

Xiao Ping said "yes".

The air briefly calmed down. Xiao Ping's character was calm and taciturn, while He Xiuran was a little impatient and said, "The situation is not optimistic now. Although Xia Ming, Xihuang Group and Vorod have continuously lowered the quota standards and reduced the time for civilian activities, our supplies are far from enough. Five months later, if we choose to leave the chaotic star field, we may not be able to go deeper into the starry sky at all. Without a jump engine and a set target planet, even if we do not die in danger, we will eventually die on the road due to the exhaustion of resources."

The large number of civilians who complained may not have imagined that the one who restricts everyone's time and food share was the one they elected to limit their activity time and food.

"I know." Xiao Ping finally turned his head and looked at He Xiuran, saying, "Our only way is to go deep into the chaotic star domain and get the resources we need, but with the current capabilities of our fleet, this should be the final decision you made, right?"

He Xiuran nodded: "We have no choice. Instead of taking a boat of people silently exhausting resources in the deep space, it is better to enter the chaotic star field and make a try. But..."

Speaking of this, He Xiuran's expression faded slightly again.

Xiao Ping said: "But... with the ability of our fleet, it is difficult to obtain materials in the chaotic star domain, especially because we are huge and need too many resources. We cannot be exchanged for barter. We must fight for other people's things, but we have no capital to compete with others."

"That's right." He Xiuran took a deep breath and said, "This is a big problem."

Xiao Ping nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Sai Xi again: "The only way is to wake up. Only with a fourth caste in charge can we have the ability to compete with others. If five months have not arrived yet, I am willing to accept the decision of the scientific research department and try to forcibly awaken Sai Xi. Those methods may not be humane methods, but we have no choice."

He Xiuran turned his head and looked at Xiao Ping, his eyes a little complicated, but before he could say anything, his personal message was called urgently.

The news came from the bridge that they encountered an emergency. The fleet had sounded a second-level alarm.

The alarm at this level was already quite high. A moment after He Xiuran received the message, Xiao Ping also received the same message. Kukas was summoning all the ship commanders and technicians to rush to the bridge and fleet combat support department.

However, the distress situation is almost absolutely confidential to ordinary people in the fleet, because it is meaningless to disclose it or not. The chaos of civilians will instead bring unpredictable additional trouble to the fleet.

Xiao Ping took a last look at the quiet Saixi and left in a hurry.

When the two arrived at the bridge, the unknown had been marked.

It is very close to the fleet, less than 10,000 kilometers apart, but it is extremely dark all over, almost hidden in the background of the starry sky. It is only discovered at this distance.

It was a spaceship. It showed a streamlined deconstruction and a very advanced pattern based on the naked eye. However, according to Kukas' judgment, it was an "empty ship", with no signal and no trace of a powered engine. It seemed to be just floating in the starry sky, but in fact, it was a "ghost ship" that was chosen by the starry sky!

It is not large in size, the length of the entire ship is only about 300 meters. In front of the Federal Fleet, it looks like a petite child.

But this "child" contains the terrifying power to destroy the entire Federation fleet.

Because at this time, the expert team of the bridge had already reached a preliminary conclusion with Kukas

This seemed to be an antimatter ghost ship. It seemed that it was not controlled by itself, as if it was being approached by the huge positive matter of the Federal Fleet, just like a magnet being attracted. Although it showed its movements close to the Federal Fleet, it did not contain traces of biological control.

This is a ghost ship for food on its own!

And as it got closer, it was slid towards the Federation fleet as it was speeding up like two magnets approaching each other.

"It is expected that the collision time will be twenty minutes later. Once it is hit, our spacecraft will be directly annihilated."

This is the primary conclusion drawn by the expert group.

And the subsequent solution is to "blast" it.

Give it the correct matter and annihilate it.

Just like positive one plus negative one. By the same token, if you return to zero in advance, it will not pose a threat to the Federation fleet.

Of course, the annihilation of pro- and anti-matter is not zeroing. The collision of pro- and anti-matter will produce new matter. But this can solve the problem of the Federal Fleet.

The most reasonable thing in the starry sky is the words of experts. This is the key experience He Xiuran has summarized along the way. There is only one dead end to interstellar navigation without scientific support. You die without seeing the risks, and you don’t even know what space phenomenon you die in. Of course, there is a premise here, your expert must be a real expert.

Fortunately, the experts in the Federation Fleet are all the current elites of humanity.

He Xiuran chose to release substance without hesitation, throwing a mixed plastic shell with a calculated mass similar to the current ghost ship from the Federal Fleet and shooting it at it.

The Federation fleet turned at high speed, deviating from its position opposite to it, and setting a distance.

Annihilation happened soon. The ghost ship behind him emitted a strange flash. It was not strong, but strangely bright.

However, the alarm was not lifted. In the light, the ghost ship "breaks out" and presents a dreamlike neon light, which continues to accelerate and crash into the Federal Fleet!
