Interstellar Farmer

Chapter 245 Developing the Fleet

How long will it take to enter the Lin-136 star domain? Andre asked after taking the last sip of juice squeezed from the red fruit.

Andre, one of Han Zhen's true childhood friends, whose private nickname was Yueji, a title that had made him depressed for decades, was also one of the few people that Han Zhen could completely trust. In addition, he also has an extremely smart mind and control skills, and is also a big figure in charge of Han Zhen's team.

General, if everything goes well, we will arrive at the Lin-136 star field in 28 hours. Andre has seven adjutants. There are only two in the command room. One of them has been staring at the command podium. When he heard An Andre's question was answered immediately.

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 directly purchased or modified by themselves. All of them are managed and commanded by him. They are an independent military force. prepared by. Andre's current military rank is only major general, but everyone knows that this is temporary. Not to mention the importance that the lord Han Zhen attaches to development work, even compared with the more than 200,000 warships that Han Zhen now owns, this development fleet also seems to be well organized. A little too small. But there is no way. The price of development ships is high and difficult to purchase. Moreover, Han Zhen does not want people to notice that he is fighting in the wilderness, which makes the expansion of the development fleet unsatisfactory and makes Andrei always feel uncomfortable. Complaining.

Fortunately, the one hundred advanced development ships PT8-3 obtained from West have joined in, which has increased the strength of Andre's development fleet a lot. You must know that these one hundred ships are definitely different from the previous development ships. The gap between two different concepts is as big as that between regular elites and farmers. It is precisely because of these that Andre's waist can be straightened a little. Now Andre has moved his flagship to one of the PT8-3 development ships, and with a fleet composed purely of them, he has begun an in-depth exploration of the wild star field.

Andre put down his wine glass and got up from the exquisitely made and extremely comfortable wooden lounge chair. Don't wonder why there is such a leisure thing in the command room. Once the fleet is sailing, time is calculated in months. No matter how big the warship is, no matter how much space is left for the crew to move, it will not be as comfortable as on the planet. If you don't find something to do, Not many people can stand doing it to kill time.

Reed, do you think our luck over the past year has been too bad?! Andre looked at a newly marked galaxy map and suddenly said something. This galaxy map is a special picture of the wild star field. Most of it is dark, with only more than a hundred small dots connected together. These dots are the star systems that have been reached. Beginning with the word ‘Lin’ means temporary.

There are 135 star systems, and not a single planet has been found. Even if it is a first-magnitude secondary star, it would be great! But except for some mineral stars of little use, I can't find any that are eye-catching! Ender Lie continued with some depression, I wonder how the other nine teams performed? If they are much higher than us, it will be difficult to find a place to put their shame!

Reed was the adjutant who answered Andre's question. Now that he heard these words, he didn't know how to answer for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said: General, before we just came out, didn't we discover a planet? ? According to the planet appearance rate, it is already very good! The mission given to us by the main bus is to open up shipping lanes as the first task. So far, we have reached 22 star systems and mapped shipping lanes with a length of more than 800 light years. , this result is already very good!”

That's what I said, but now that we have PT8-3, the detection area has never been explored before. It is really unreasonable not to find a few planets. Even if no one says it, I am unwilling to do so! An Andre said, it seems that Reed's comfort is not very effective.

The planet mentioned here refers to a planet suitable for human habitation, which is commonly referred to as an administrative planet. According to estimates by galaxy research experts, there are conservatively estimated to be more than 250 billion stars in the Milky Way, but the number of administrative stars suitable for human habitation will not exceed one million. This is even compared to the first-class stars that can be transformed. Also included, if these secondary stars are excluded, the number of natural administrative stars may not exceed 200,000.

There are nine teams, plus the one led by Andre himself, there are ten teams in total. These ten teams are all ten PT8-3 development ships. As for the other development ships, Andre did not lead any. Without him, those development ships would be useful if they were used for close-range and short-distance detection, but this time it was specifically for long-range and long-distance detection, and only PT8-3 could do it.

Originally, Han Zhen didn't want Andre to come out and command a detachment alone. It was too dangerous in the wild star field. Even PT8-3 couldn't say that safety could be guaranteed for this pathfinding mission. There were too many variables! But Andre was determined to come out. Finally, after pestering Han Zhen for a week, Han Zhen was forced to have a big head, and he only agreed.

General, there is no need to rush. Although there is no time during this period, according to estimates, we will have to pass through more than 350 star systems in total. In this case, there may be a chance to find another administrative planet. Another adjutant interjected.

Although the chance of finding a planet suitable for human habitation in the universe is not as small as finding a needle in a haystack, it is definitely not great. Even if you go through 10,000 or even 100,000 star systems, it is normal to not find it. Plus, This is a wild star field, making the chance even smaller. Andre complained just because he used to conduct re-explorations in areas that had already been explored such as the administrative star and the surrounding sub-stars. It was not as long as the current one that lasted for several years, and he was a little uncomfortable. In addition, he had just set off. At that time, he was lucky enough to discover an administrative star and three first-level secondary stars that could be transformed, which made him think that this was a dense area of ​​​​administrative planets and had some misconceptions.

Now that he had done this detection, Andre would have figured it out even without the help of his two lieutenants. After lightly nodding his head, he brought up the administrative planet that he had discovered for the first time in his life and admired it again.

Andre's luck was definitely extremely good. No one expected that just when he separated from the other nine teams and set out from the original territory of the Robin Pirates to the first star system on the route, he discovered Those four planets of excellent quality are incredible. After transformation, they become a series of four planets. They are extremely important wherever they are placed. A connected star in the universe is much more important than several individual planets, because it is suitable for large-scale mechanized management, battleship production lines, battleship repair factories, warehouse groups, almost every connected star with more than three planets has become a An extremely important base for the country. After Han Zhen found out about it, he couldn't help but immediately put Du Guosheng in charge of the transformation and built it into an important base as quickly as possible, and named it the Broken General Star, which became the word broken in the wild star field. One of the three consecutive stars at the beginning.

What makes Han Zhen even more happy is that there are more than 20 secondary stars next to these four planets, three to five of which can be transformed using his own unique Dru Yin method, which will take a long time. But it can definitely be transformed successfully. It can be said that the development army has made a real good start, which also makes Han Zhen more energetic in the development of the Wild Star Territory.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

More than twenty hours, for people who have been on the development ship for many years, it can only take a nap. Hundreds of repetitions of work and hundreds of disappointments have long dispelled Andre's initial excitement. However, because of his responsibilities, he still showed up in the command room early, but as before, he was slow. Slowly rocking the recliner, tasting the prepared red juice bit by bit.

There are only seven thick-skinned PT8-3s in this fleet. Those three ships have returned to the territory through the newly discovered jumping points to report the news. This is to prevent the danger caused by the annihilation of the development fleet, and also to allow The subsequent supply troops followed up. After all, a single development ship could not go very far in a completely unfamiliar area.

The seven development ships gradually approached the Lin-136 star system. Not long after entering, the powerful built-in radar system discovered anomalies.

General! Signs of civilization were found in Pro-136... Adjutant Reed, who was sent to the radar room, shouted loudly on the holographic screen.

Andre couldn't sit still when he heard it. He jumped up and was so good at it that he didn't even spill any juice in the wine glass. He didn't even have time to put down his wine glass and walked to the podium in a few steps.

Sure enough, there are signs of civilization! Andre was convinced after taking one look. Although what radar sees now are extremely abstract patterns, the moving light spots that can move around the planet, for the experienced Andre, he can tell at a glance: This is not a naturally formed meteorite, absolutely It is the same existence as a battleship or an artificial satellite!

Everyone slow down! Turn the plane 180 degrees, enter defense mode, and launch fifty spy satellites to the planet at the same time! Andre shouted after connecting all the development ships. When he was not sure who was here, Andre chose the plan of retreating at any time. After all, the purpose of developing the fleet was to explore paths. Firepower and speed were not his strengths. Although his skin was thicker, he could not withstand the density. What a type of attack!

Everyone's eyes widened as the battleship slowly decelerated, paying unblinking attention to this sudden sign of civilization. Andre's head was even covered in cold sweat. You can't blame him for being so worried. Who knows who is here. If they are pirates, they will be in trouble and they won’t even have a chance to escape.

The first thing to determine is that those moving objects are indeed battleships. With their size and speed, they cannot be anything other than battleships. Meteorites and natural satellites that can revolve around the planet will definitely not move at such speed! Andre and several adjutants looked at each other, and they all saw horror in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, as the planet got closer and closer, the radar could see it more clearly. Suddenly, everyone in the command room let out a heavy sigh of relief. There are only a dozen warships that can appear on the radar. After simultaneous analysis, it is known that they are all little guys less than 500 meters in size, and their speeds are also extremely slow! Well, it's very similar to the battleships used by Earth thirty years ago.

It can be tentatively confirmed that this is not a pirate, but a civilization that has just stepped out of the planet. Andre poured half of the wine glass he was holding, poured the remaining juice into his mouth, put it aside, and took the He took out the towel and wiped the sweat from his hands and forehead.

There is no need to be afraid of low-level civilization, but Andre's cautious character prevented him from making contact immediately: the force that could be seen was indeed not worth mentioning, but it has not yet been determined whether this civilization is human civilization. It’s better to be careful with the ten-thousand-year ship you drive!

The order was still being executed. Ten minutes after the battleship completed its hull turn, the spy satellite also sent back the first batch of data. These spy satellites are all the original configurations when I bought the PT8-3. They all have extremely high stealth functions. Not to mention that they are basically undetectable by first- to second-level civilizations, even ordinary powerful pirates. It was difficult to spot the aerial spy who had deliberately kept his distance far away.

There are buildings on three planets! The level of development on two of them is not high, and the large-scale immigration did not exceed two hundred years...; analysis of the battleships shows that they are definitely first-level civilizations! Analysis of their armor shows that they cannot perform interstellar jumps... The adjutant assigned to the staff room synthesized the results of multiple analyzes and sent them over.

Preliminary comparison of the appearance can confirm that it is a civilization established by humans! The similarity has reached more than 90!...; Extraplanetary mineral mining has begun, and it has appeared on twelve surrounding planets...

After a comprehensive physical examination, it can be determined that they are more than 95% similar to people on Earth and can be classified as human beings!... Suspended vehicles have appeared, with a small number and extremely backward technology... ….”

The population is estimated to be around 10 billion, accounting for more than 90% of the main planet,...

As the spy satellites get closer, especially after seeing that it is impossible for the other party to detect it, fifty satellites have been tightly attached to the planet, and the messages sent are becoming more and more detailed. For a whole day, Andre didn't let the development ship get close. He just got a thorough understanding of this first-level civilization, and got good news one after another.

Five administrative planets!? Eight first-class stars that can be transformed!

! ? Everyone who heard this simple analysis of the entire planet's environment was stunned. After half a minute, they all came to their senses and cheered together. Andre was also shocked by the news. Yesterday, I'm complaining about my bad luck, oh, it can't last forever, and I gave myself a big surprise today, thirteen planets!? What kind of concept is this? It can completely build a company that can be called the largest company in the known country. Star! He pinched his thigh hard and grimaced in pain.
