Chapter 1 Death Star
Although there are countless waterways from the Zhantian Star Domain to the Oriental Star Domain, Du Zifeng and others chose the most dangerous route, just because the distance of this route is the shortest.
Du Zifeng has long considered all the sudden situations he will encounter in interstellar navigation. Although he is not very rich in interstellar navigation experience, since he left the earth, he has indeed encountered countless things that he dared not think of before. Moreover, one of the reasons why Du Zifeng chose this route is naturally to save time, but he also has another idea.
After four or five days in the vast universe, Du Zifeng and others have been far away from Mars. According to the previous calculation, it will take about a day or two to resist the first star gate. The sailboat of Senbon Saori has always followed the rear of the modified transport ship. The two ships are tightly united through external connection devices, which can maximize the safety of the latter.
Since sailing, Du Zifeng basically stood on the command deck and carefully observed the movement of the spacecraft as long as he was free. At the same time, Shi Rui, Gordon and others also follow Du Zifeng almost every day.
About the time that happened at the honor conference, Du Zifeng has told Shi Rui in detail about the goals of the star domain and those things about the Mayan obel.
Now these people have directly become the most trusted existence around Du Zifeng, and no one has to worry about any bad guys on this modified transport ship. Because almost everyone has had a relationship with Du Zifeng, even those mercenaries who did not know Du Zifeng before now regard Du Zifeng as a god.
"Thinking of the boy's face, I can't wait to beat that guy fiercely!" Gordon was still thinking about the situation when he was provoked by Altus on the Melly. However, he quickly relaxed his clenched fists, then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted Du Zifeng on the shoulder vigorously and said, "But you are really powerful. Looking back to the day when you beat that guy's mecha into a waste, I feel particularly happy!"
Originally, Gordon did not fully trust Du Zifeng's strength. Previously, he only heard Shi Rui mention how the teenager was, but in the duel between Du Zifeng and Artes, Gordon accurately understood Du Zifeng's strength.
Listening to Gordon's words, Shi Rui also recalled the situation at that time. To be honest, although Shi Rui has always felt that Du Zifeng is strong, he just thinks that the other party may not be much different from him. However, after that game, Shi Rui finally understood that even if ten of himself added up, he would not be Du Zifeng's opponent. When Shi Rui was surprised by Du Zifeng's strong strength, he was also secretly glad that the teenager did not exert all his strength on the planet Kafel at that time.
"Huh? This..."
A soft mout came from the console. A mercenary in charge of the monitoring system looked at the satellite picture in front of him and suddenly showed a trace of surprise.
Originally, the mercenary just muttered softly that it was impossible for others to hear it, but even seven or eight meters away, his voice still clearly reached Du Zifeng's ears.
Aware of this subtle movement from the console, Du Zifeng couldn't help looking at the console and looking at the figure of the mercenary. Several people who had been staying beside Du Zifeng also seemed to notice Du Zifeng's sudden abnormality and followed Du Zifeng's eyes.
But no one knew what had happened, but Du Zifeng slowly walked down from the command deck and came directly behind the mercenary.
"What happened?"
When Du Zifeng put one hand on the mercenary's shoulder, it really shocked the mercenary. But he didn't expect that he inadvertently sighed directly to Du Zifeng's ears.
"Well...yes...it's like this. Since we have prepared enough materials before we leave and the energy is quite sufficient, there is no need for any replenishment halfway in the plan. So on the whole route, we completely avoided all the planets and chose the most direct starry sky to sail.
The mercenary looked at Du Zifeng's face and was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted. Looking at Du Zifeng's deep eyes, he then pointed to a small satellite picture in front of his seat and said, "However, a medium-sized natural planet suddenly appeared on the satellite picture just now, and from scanning From the signs of life, this planet seems to have a high degree of civilization and does not look like an undeveloped planet.
Following the guidance of this mercenary, Du Zifeng saw a dark green planet on the satellite picture, and the existence of this planet seemed to be very abrupt, because there were no moons and stars around it, which looked like a completely independent planet.
If it weren't for the data received by satellite instruments, I'm afraid anyone would have thought that this dark green planet was an artificial planet. With Du Zifeng's footsteps, Shi Rui and others also came to the mercenary, and they all saw the dark green planet at the same time.
"What is this?" Looking at the strange planet, Shi Rui first asked.
"This... I'm not very clear about it, because this planet does not exist on our star map, and there is no information registration. I have tried to get in touch with the ground of this planet just now, but the other party hasn't replied yet!" The mercenary watched the large group of leaders stand in front of him and suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable tension.
"Don't be so nervous. If you encounter any suspicious situations next time, just ask us directly. Slow down for a while and wait for the other party's reply!" Du Zifeng gently patted the mercenary on the shoulder, and then smiled irrelevantly.
With Du Zifeng's words, everyone else on the console began to be busy following his instructions just now, and the satellite picture of the planet was also switched to the main screen of the console. A dark green planet quietly exists in the starry sky, but not even half of the normal stars around it can be found. This picture really looks a little strange.
The modified transport ship gradually slowed down, but it did not completely stop moving forward. The mercenary in charge of the monitoring system was still sending a contact signal to the dark green planet. This sudden small farce seemed to have been solved, but there were A small link has been ignored by everyone.
Ten minutes later, Du Zifeng and the others still did not receive any signal from the planet. Just when Du Zifeng looked at the planet on the satellite picture and felt puzzled, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
However, just as Du Zifeng was about to go from the beginning to the console to solve the doubts that had suddenly flashed in his heart, suddenly there was an exclamation from behind his voice!
"Oh, my God! This...this is...death star!!"
A slightly feminine-like scream instantly came into everyone's ears. As everyone looked behind the command deck, Diavan's frightened face also reflected everyone's eyes at the same time.
"Death star?"
Almost everyone has the same doubts, and everyone feels very strange about the words that just popped out of the mouth of this obscene star thief. No one knows what Diafan just said about the "death star", but of course this does not include Du Zifeng.
The so-called "death star" is a star used to mark some dangerous areas in the vast starry sky, which is generally only known by those star thieves who often shuttle through the vast universe. The reason why there are inherent routes between major planets and even star domains is to reduce the dangers encountered in interstellar navigation.
There are countless unknown fields in the universe, and the dangers are countless. For normal interstellar sailors, it is rarely possible to enter those dangerous areas, because their navigation is in regular waterways.
However, for those who are carrying out various illegal transactions specifically to avoid inspection, it is naturally impossible to swagger on the normal waterway, so continuous development and exploration of the unknown starry sky has become a compulsory subject for star thieves.
Therefore, these star thieves often stray into some very dangerous areas. Most of them are buried in the starry sky forever, and those who narrowly escape will share their experiences with other companions and describe the most obvious marks in the starry sky. Most of these marks are all kinds of large and small stars, because they represent extremely dangerous signals, so they are collectively called "death stars" by star thieves.
Originally, among Du Zifeng and his party, only Diafan, the real star thief, should know what the "death star" means, but Du Zifeng has learned a lot about these contents from Heidi.
It's just that for Du Zifeng, it was also the first time he saw the legendary "death star" with his own eyes.
For the dark green planet that suddenly appeared on the voyage, Du Zifeng's face finally showed a trace of solemnity, although even if Diafan did not appear just now, he had noticed something wrong. However, through Diafan's exclamation, it completely solved the doubts that had just arised in his heart.
It has been more than ten minutes since the discovery of the planet. Although the modified transport ship has greatly slowed down its forward speed, it has not completely stopped advancing. According to reason, Du Zifeng and others should be getting closer and closer to the dark green planet.
However, when Du Zifeng looked at the satellite picture again, he was surprised to find that the planet on the picture was still the same size as just now, which means that the distance between the modified transport ship and the planet has never been narrowed.
"What is the death star?" Shi Rui was the first to react. He followed Du Zifeng and ran to the console again. However, it was not Gordon and Bidener who followed Shi Rui, but Diafan, a star thief with a panic face.
"You idiots, this is the starry sky. This green quasar is not a planet at all. You have been cheated!!"
Diafan shouted and pushed away a sailor on the main control seat, and then quickly got into the console, and his hands began to carry out a series of movements sensitively.
The abnormal behavior of this star thief made everyone feel strange. Just as Shi Rui was about to stop the reckless star thief, he was pulled to death by one hand.
