Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 588 The Unexpected
When Barnes arrived, Yang Yi didn't explain much, the image in front of everyone already explained the problem.

It was a three-dimensional projection map of a celestial body, sent back by an unmanned probe, more than 100 light-years away, and less than one light-year away from the route the fleet was going to pass.This is a small celestial body, with a diameter of less than [-] kilometers, and its mass is not very large, but the key is not the mass of this celestial body.

On the projection map, those bright parts indicate extremely high temperatures.

This is a small celestial body that does not have enough mass to form a molten core, so it is definitely not its own cause that causes the temperature of the celestial body to rise.

There is only one explanation, this celestial body has been invaded by silicon-based life.

The question is, are the wild silicon beasts that invaded the celestial body, or the enemies of the Silicon Demon Alliance?

After sending back this image, the unmanned probe continued to fly to the celestial body, preparing to conduct an in-depth detection of the celestial body, and then lost contact.

However, no inferences can be made from this.Even if it is a wild silicon beast that invades the celestial body, it may actively attack foreign unknown objects.If the enemy occupying the celestial body is the enemy of the Silicon Magic Alliance, after discovering the unmanned probe, it will also be destroyed immediately.

This was the first unexpected situation that Yang Yi and the others encountered after the fleet set off.

Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that sooner or later he would encounter a similar situation, Yang Yi was still slightly surprised when he encountered it at this time.

Don't forget, this is the southern part of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, not far from the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and tens of thousands of light-years away from the Northern Alpha Galaxy.More importantly, according to the information provided by Barnes, the Hidden Eldar have been closely monitoring this route, and have not discovered this invaded celestial body before.According to what Barnes said before, there will be no accidents before reaching the northern part of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt.

When Yang Yi looked at Barnes, Yuyang, Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen also stared at him.

"It should be a wild silicon beast," Barnes paused for a moment, and then said, "It is a small celestial body. Even if it is the enemy of the Silicon Magic Alliance, there will not be many of them. However, the location of the celestial body is far from the route. It's too close and already poses a threat to the route."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, and looked towards Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen.

"No matter what it is, it must be eradicated." Shen Chengwen said very simply. "Even if we can pass safely, the spaceships that deliver the supplies will be threatened. More importantly, we must find out what is invading the celestial body. If it is a wild silicon beast, it is nothing. If it is an army of silicon demons, even The small number of troops also means that the enemy has expanded the defense line, and we have to prepare for battle in advance."

Lin Feng nodded, expressing the same meaning, and then said: "It's just that the situation is not clear yet, so it's not good to go to war. My opinion is, just a few of us go there. Even if it's the Silicon Demon Legion, with the strength of a few of us The ability is also enough to handle it.”

Yang Yi didn't say much, and looked towards Barnes.

"We did not discover this celestial body in time, and we bear the main responsibility. I will go there with you." Barnes was very straightforward, without the slightest intention to shirk. "Also, I have to figure out why. If this is not an isolated incident, then something is wrong with our intelligence system."

"Then let's go."

When Yang Yi said this, Barnes was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded.

Of course, Yang Yi didn't take everyone with him, but let Yuyang and Shen Chengwen stay behind, responsible for commanding the fleet and legion, and only brought Lin Feng with him.Shen Chengwen was very dissatisfied, but he didn't say much.He already knew that Lin Feng had obtained the emperor-level fighter plane presented by the Star Soul Empress, and was no longer an ordinary earth soul fighter.In addition, Yang Yi also has an emperor-level fighter plane tailor-made for him by the Weaving Star Clan.It can be said that the strength of both of them is not weak. Even if Barnes is a strong of the Hidden Spirit Race and has a strength close to that of the Heavenly Sacred Emperor, he may not be able to do anything to them.Besides, this place is thousands of light-years away from the Southern Alpha Galaxy, and no matter how powerful Barnes is, he can't return alone.

Soon, "Xinghai" brought Yang Yi, Lin Feng and Barnes to the space jump node more than 100 light-years away.

To be on the safe side, Yang Yi kept the "Xinghai" here.

Like them, Barnes also has a powerful space fighter, and it is an imperial fighter.Because the space fighters owned by the three are capable of short-distance space jumps, there is no need to take a battleship to that celestial body, and it will not take more time.

Not long after, the three came near the celestial body.

Although it is more than [-] kilometers away, it can be clearly seen that the surface of the celestial body is full of magma, and the temperature is very high, which is an environment suitable for the survival of silicon-based organisms.It's just that Yang Yi and the others didn't see the silicon beast.Obviously, regardless of whether it is a wild silicon beast or an enemy of the Silicon Demon Alliance who invaded the celestial body, they can only stay inside the celestial body.This is a small object, not massive enough to form an atmosphere.Even wild silicon beasts need the protection of the atmosphere, and they will die if they are directly exposed to the vacuum.As for whether it is a wild silicon beast hiding in the celestial body, or an enemy of the Silicon Magic Alliance, it is obviously impossible to judge from the situation on the surface of the celestial body.

Lin Feng was about to step forward when Yang Yi stopped him.

"This is a den." Yang Yi flew out of the cockpit of the space fighter, and then put away the space fighter. "There is no obvious original energy fluctuation, and judging from the situation on the surface of the celestial body, this should be a newly formed den, and an earth dragon is hidden inside."

"Are you sure?" Barnes also flew out of the space fighter.

Yang Yi nodded slightly, and said: "Before the war broke out, I served in the outpost of the Greenwich defense line and encountered a similar situation. These wild silicon beasts all came from the Northern Alpha galaxy, and some were even deliberately rushed by the Silicon Magic Alliance. It is to occupy the celestial bodies in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and cause trouble for us. It’s just that the human legion has never penetrated into the Greenwich Meteorite Belt before. I didn’t expect that there would be a den of silicon beasts in this place.”

"You started to say that this den was just formed?" Lin Feng asked.

Yang Yi nodded again, and said: "After the earth dragon invades the celestial body, it will use the resources of the celestial body to grow, and in the process transform the celestial body into an environment suitable for the survival of silicon beasts. Usually, the earth dragon will devour the celestial body first. The core of the celestial body generates extremely high temperature. After other wild silicon beasts come here to lay eggs, the earth dragon will guard the celestial body and eliminate all external threats. Because the beast eggs will absorb heat during the hatching process, the celestial body The temperature will decrease accordingly, at least the surface temperature will drop a lot. Now, the surface temperature of this celestial body is still very high, indicating that it has just formed, and no other silicon beasts have laid eggs in it."

"What now?" Barnes asked directly.

Yang Yi smiled faintly, and a blue light shot out from him.

By the time Barnes realized it, the blue light had fallen on the celestial body and then disappeared.

"This……"

"Be patient."

Barnes was still very puzzled, but Yang Yi didn't want to say more, and he couldn't ask more questions.

At this time, Lin Feng had already noticed that what shot out from Yang Yi was not a beam of light, but the little one, the blue-blooded wolf who was not yet an adult.

After a while, the temperature on the surface of the celestial body began to drop, and the molten magma slowly solidified.

After about a few minutes, the surface of the celestial body had completely solidified, and the blue light appeared again, and disappeared after hitting Yang Yi.

Although he couldn't see clearly at first, but this time, Barnes saw clearly.

"That is……"

"The legendary extinct blue blood wolf." Yang Yi didn't hide his armpits. "At the beginning, we found it in a den of the Greenwich Meteorite. To be precise, it was a beast egg. Of course, I was very lucky. When the beast egg decayed, I was nearby, so it regarded me as a relative."

Barnes swallowed, looking extremely envious.

"Okay, let's go back." Yang Yi glanced at Celestial Body. "If I'm not mistaken, this is not the only celestial body invaded by silicon beasts."

"You mean..." Barnes suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression became serious.

"If this is the case, then we will encounter more troubles. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing." Yang Yi smiled lightly and said, "Besides, we cannot stop because of some wild silicon beasts. Let's go Well, we've spent enough time here."

Soon, the three returned to the "Xinghai", and then contacted Yuyang and Shen Chengwen.

After the fleet arrived, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to make arrangements.As in the past, the unmanned detector is still sent out first, and the space jump is carried out after confirming that there is no abnormality in the space jump node ahead.Because there are only a hundred warships, the fleet moves very fast.

As for the matter of transforming large celestial bodies, Yang Yi entrusted Yuyang and Carlson to be responsible, and did not personally ask.

In the next few days, Yang Yi's guess was confirmed.

Near every space jump node, the unmanned probes sent out have found the celestial bodies occupied by silicon beasts, and most of them just happened, that is, the celestial bodies were invaded by the earth dragon, but not occupied by other silicon beasts, that is, No eggs laid by other silicon beasts were found inside the celestial body.

On the fifth day, Yang Yi stopped the fleet.

This time, the unmanned probe found not one celestial body in front of it, but more than a dozen, all of which were occupied by silicon beasts, and the surface of several of them had cooled.

It is definitely not an isolated incident that so many celestial bodies were invaded by silicon beasts and developed into dens.Although it is not difficult to deal with these celestial bodies, it is not necessary for Yang Yi to do it himself, just send warships to destroy these celestial bodies.However, Yang Yi had to pay attention to the threats represented by these incidents.

After the fleet stopped, Yang Yi immediately arranged for Yuyang to send more unmanned detectors. In addition to continuing to detect the situation ahead, he also conducted extensive detection of the surrounding area.To put it simply, it is to find out how many celestial bodies near this route have been invaded by silicon beasts.

Of course, it will take some time, and Yang Yi and the others can only wait patiently.
