Chapter 185 Journey to the Sky River

After defeating the allied fleet in the Kingdom of Danze, the three fleets led by Gavin, Robecca and Pan Longhua basically encountered no resistance. For them, the whole kingdom is like an undefed city, allowing them to ravage and plunder.

After that, a fleet carrying equipment and materials seized from Yinshan Shipyard came and merged with the main force of the fleet.

At this time, the total number of fleets carrying these equipment and towing containers has exceeded 13,000. This transport fleet has different types, scattered formations, low morale, and very poor transportation efficiency. After discussion, it was decided that Pan Longhua's Seventh Fleet would escort the fleet back to the country, while Gavin and Robecca's fleet continued to attack its military facilities and important targets in the Kingdom of Danze.

For a while, the whole Kingdom of Danze completely became the target of the federal fleet.

Any recorded military facilities, whether it is a space base or a planetary defense deployment, have suffered a devastating blow by the federal fleet. Even the military facilities built on the surface of the planet were easily destroyed by the 5th Battalion of the landed knights.

After this battle, the military strength of the whole Kingdom of Danze will be gone, and there will be no ability to resist other countries.

After three days of aggressive attack, Gavin and Robecca's fleet withdrew from the Kingdom of Danze, caught up with the Seventh Fleet, which set out first, and returned home together. The devastated Kingdom of Danze was not happy because of their departure. Then unrest and rebellion broke out across the country, and the fleets of other countries around took advantage of it, which made King Danze's anxious eyebrows and kept asking for help from the Twin Gods.

It is also strange that after the departure of the federal fleet, King Danze finally contacted the twin generals.

After learning that the Kingdom of Danze had been hit so hard and all the accumulated supplies were taken away, the Gemini gods' faces were gloomy, and their eyebrows trembled with uncontrollable anger. After that, he sent two fleets to the Kingdom of Denze to assist the kingdom in suppressing rebellion and fighting the invaders, and hurriedly ended the talks with King Denze without asking about it.

The speed of the transport fleet is very slow, and it will take at least a month to return from the Kingdom of Danze to the Commonwealth.

Along the way, the federal fleet tried to select remote routes that were inaccessible, and sent the reconnaissance fleet out of the route for more than one day to observe to prevent a sudden attack by the Dragon Slayer. In addition, all containers and transport ships have been equipped with self-destruction devices. Once they are hit by the Dragon Slayer's army, the fleet will quickly withdraw and detonate the device, leaving no supplies for the Dragon Slayer.

The fleet carefully returned to the Federation. Fortunately, they had left the Kingdom of Denze for a week and had not encountered any enemies. Occasionally, several pirate reconnaissance ships will appear in sight, but as soon as they see such a large fleet, the pirates immediately fled and dared not hit them.

In the Federation, when most people focused on the returning fleet, Yunyi did not care about it. It's not that he doesn't care about the three fleets and the materials transported, but that he knows that there is intermediate artificial intelligence in the fleet and there is no need to worry at all. Compared with the fleet, he pays more attention to the test fleet that is about to enter Tianhe.

After five days of sailing, three test spacecraft escorted by 500 warships finally arrived at the edge of the Tianhe River.

Through the Tianxun network, Yunyi sent blessings to the departing fleet after another warning.

After shutting down the Tianxun network and launching the internal communication device specially designed by Tianhe, a communication connection between the three spacecraft was successfully established.

"Let's go!"

In the command room of the No. 1 battleship, Xie Xinyu tidyed up his clothes, waved his hand and issued an order.

The three spacecraft slowly started and drove towards the dark Tianhe River.

No one on the boat is afraid. All of them are extremely excited. Except for the drivers and navigators who must be in place, almost everyone is crowded in the port window, looking at the approaching Tianhe. And the scientists accompanying the ship quickly opened various test devices, forcibly suppressed their inner excitement and prepared for the experiment.

It's closer, closer.

In Xie Xinyu's nervous mood, the bow of the first spacecraft finally came into contact with the edge of the Tianhe River. The spacecraft slowly entered and was swallowed up by the Tianhe River. Finally, the whole ship sailed into it. The people on the 500 warships left outside could no longer see them. Similarly, under the interference of Tianhe materials, communication and reconnaissance and other means can no longer detect and contact the spacecraft entering Tianhe.

It was dark around and nothing could be seen, and the spaceship seemed to have entered the boundless abyss.

At the beginning, the crew, who were still crowded at the port window, felt boring after looking at it for less than ten minutes and left the window one after another. They felt relaxed and there was nothing to be nervous about, but in fact, the people in the command room just breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is the degree of erosion of the outer armor?"

This is Xie Xinyu's most concerned issue, and it is also Yunyi's most concerned issue. Although these materials have been precisely tested in those small clusters of Tianhe materials, they have not been tested in the real Tianhe River. If the outer armor is eroded too fast, the fleet will immediately turn its head and return to the northern universe.

"According to the data of light brain detection, the erosion degree of the outer armor is almost negligible!"

spoke by the leaders of scientists and engineers on the ship, Ferdinand, vice president of the Federal Academy of Sciences. For this exploration, he has studied with Yunyi for a long time. In addition, he also has rich and profound knowledge and is a very talented scientist.

He said happily, "According to the current erosion rate, if the environment in the depths of the Tianhe River is similar to here, our armor can last for at least three months."

Hearing his words, Xie Xinyu and everyone in the command room breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the initial space measurement, they judged that it would take at least 15 days to cross the Tianhe River. Three months is enough for them to easily cross this dangerous area.

After confirming the safety, the fleet began to accelerate and continued to drive towards the depths of the Tianhe River in the established direction.

Three days later, they found a dim yellow substance in the Tianhe River. When the spacecraft approached, it found a slowly moving planet floating in the Tianhe River. From a distance, the material on this planet is a new type of matter that they have never seen before. After Ferdinand's judgment, this material can perfectly resist the erosion of Tianhe material, but because the gravity of the planet is too large, even if the fleet is still far away from the planet, the surging gravity causes the violent vibration of the three spacecraft, and it is impossible to approach and land on the planet for accurate exploration.

After recording the exact location of the planet, the fleet continued to move towards the depths of the Tianhe River.

In the following days, they found dozens of such planets.

Ferdinand judged that the number of such planets in the Tianhe River is by no means a minority. If this material can be mined and processed, it can be completely used to build a permanent channel across the Tianhe River. During the voyage, the fleet finally found an asteroid less than a kilometer in diameter. At Ferdinand's suggestion, Xie Xinyu ordered one of the warships to launch the main gun and blast the asteroid into pieces from afar.

The main gun roared, and a dazzling light bombarded the yellow asteroid without breaking it.

The strength and hardness of this substance shocked everyone. Therefore, the fleet stayed for another whole day, and the three spacecraft launched continuous attacks. After more than 20 main artillery bombardments, it reluctantly shot down a small piece of the asteroid.

After pulling the 13-meter-diameter fragment back into the spacecraft with a traction beam, they were surprised to find that the density and weight of the fragment far exceeded their expectations. Although it was not as good as the white dwarf and neutron material, it also had a great density. The palm-sized substance actually exceeded its weight. More than 400 kilograms. At the same time, they also found signs of biological cells on the surface of this substance.

For this reason, they stored this substance tightly in the safe on the spacecraft and planned to study it carefully after returning. After all, there are so many strange substances in space that no one knows what harm they will do to human beings.

The fleet set out again, and in the next few days, it encountered many planets made of this material.

On the tenth day, the fleet made a major discovery.

"Oh, my God, what is that!"

In the flagship, the crew responsible for observation and detection suddenly made an exclamation. Hearing the sound of Xie Xinyu and Ferdinand, they arrived quickly. On the screen, they found that there was a dark brown wall in the distant starry sky. What surprised them more was that the wall was still fluctuating slowly.

Ship 2, please take a closer look. Be safe. If there is anything wrong, retreat immediately.

After Xie Xinyu issued an order, the second ship began to leave the fleet and move towards the wall.

Looking at the wall not far away, the second ship ran for four hours to reach the wall not far away. Judging from the images sent from the ship, the wall is covered with dense tentacles, like a brown jungle, and the length of each tentacle is more than dozens of kilometers.

"This should be some kind of creature."

Ferdinand jumped excitedly and pointed to the screen and said, "Mr. Yun once told me that the armored shell we are using now can be made by reference to a creature living in the Tianhe River. So he judged that there must be some strange creature in the Tianhe River. Teacher, he guessed correctly. We finally saw this creature.

Xie Xinyu looked at him in a daze: "You mean, this wall is a creature?"

Ferdinam nodded and said, "That's right."

Xie Xinyu came to the front of the image. The brown wall could not be seen up and down, and no one knew how far away it was. He said in a daz, "If it's a creature, how big it is..."
