Chapter 62: The Long-distance Fleet, the Mysterious Space Under the Antarctic Glacier

While Ye Chen was preparing for the upcoming war and doing his best to speed up technological development in various industries, in the Yuluo star system hundreds of light years away.

Yuluo Star, spaceport.

Governor Savi, along with many high-ranking officials, saw off the fleet that was about to set sail.

Evans, the captain in charge of this long-distance fleet, was wearing a black military uniform with silver stripes and standing straight in front of the fleet.

At this moment, he almost wanted to curse in his heart, because he really didn't want to go to Yanhuang Star.

After all, as a member of the Selman family, he has status and power, so he doesn't need to spend decades invading a low-level civilization.

But there is no way, although he is a nobody, he has a grandfather who hopes his grandson will become successful.

As the future heir of the Selman family, this opportunity was obtained for him by the family at a great cost.

So, now it’s not that he doesn’t want to go just because he says he doesn’t want to go.

If he dares to quit now, the family will expel him.

Moreover, now that the arena has been set up, it has been promoted on the entire civilization's network.

Now he is a great hero who has gone on an expedition for the sake of civilization. If he retreats now, not only will he be punished by his family, but he will also lose face in front of the entire civilized world.

At that time, he really had no face to see anyone.

Thinking about something in his mind, Evans saluted everyone with a smile on his face.

Finally, he boarded the mother ship of the long-distance fleet with the expectations of hundreds of millions of people.

Soon, the fleet left the spaceport and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

Yuluo Long-distance Fleet, core mothership, command room.

Evans sat in the chair in the captain's command room, looking at the monotonous starry sky outside, and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

Next, the fleet will head to one wormhole after another, and then pass through the natural wormhole closest to the solar system.

In the Super God Universe, due to the dark plane technology, the way to travel across long distances is mainly to use the dark plane for long-distance jumps.

This type of transition is obviously something that only a god-making civilization can do, and the Yuluo civilization is clearly not qualified and does not possess this type of transition technology.

Therefore, they can only cross by flying at warp speed. At the same time, in order to shorten the time, they will use the natural wormholes in the universe to cross.

According to the prediction of the Yuluo civilization, it will take them about fifty years to reach the vicinity of the solar system.

Before the long-distance fleet set out on its expedition, the governor of the Yuluo civilization ordered the fleet used to protect the resource star in the Fengyu star system closest to the solar system to send several advance spacecraft to explore the Yanhuang star.

Looking at Evans with a depressed look on his face, the adjutant beside him couldn't help feeling helpless.

He really couldn't understand what Evans was thinking. You know, if other people encountered such a good thing, they would want to reach their destination in the next second, but Evans did the opposite of others.

Although I had heard that Evans was unreliable, I didn't expect him to be so unreliable. It's really infuriating sometimes. Those with backgrounds don't work hard, while those who want to work hard don't have any background.

Thinking of the situation in civilization where the nobles were strong and the consuls were weak, the adjutant couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of the large number of noble children in this long-distance fleet, the adjutant's face became even more sad.

The composition of this long-distance fleet is extremely complex, which also shows that the people of Yuluo civilization never thought that this war would fail.

After all, how could a second-level interstellar civilization lose when attacking a lower-level civilization that has not yet left its mother planet?

Next, after the fleet entered normal sailing status, most of the crew members began to hibernate in order to survive the long voyage.

Finally, inside each spaceship, the spaceship fell into a state of silence as the crew members entered hibernation. At the same time, there was an intelligent robot in each spaceship that was specifically designed to prevent accidents.

After all, the universe is so huge that any accident could happen.

……

Yanhuang Star.

On this day, a spaceship about 300 meters long slowly descended from the sky on the vast Antarctic glacier and finally landed steadily on the thick glacier.

"laugh!"

As the spacecraft door opened, a group of researchers wearing thin protective clothing came down from the spacecraft.

Then, a small team of soldiers wearing black exoskeleton armor came down from above.

These soldiers are responsible for protecting the scientific research team.

The black armor they were wearing was the Black Dragon series standard equipment developed by the Imperial Academy of Sciences based on the B1-class combat armor.

The Black Dragon series armor is all black with light blue patterns on the body. The blue and black armor covers the entire body and is about 2.4-2.5 meters tall.

There is a bulge between the eyebrows, with a light blue glowing in it. The eyes are connected as one, and covered with black crystal pieces.

The face is covered with a layer of blue and black visor, which protects the entire head tightly.

There are some blue raised chips on the body of the armor, and the front ends of the toes have sharp claws that can be retracted like animal claws.

On his back is a cold weapon, a high-frequency particle cutting knife, and a pulse particle rifle.

The armor is also equipped with a combat artificial intelligence assistance system, EMP protective shield, infrared beyond visual range...

Not far away, the scientific research team was packing up their equipment.

After getting off the spaceship, Luo Fangning stared at the white environment around him with wide eyes.

This was her first time to visit the Antarctic glacier.

Since she became Qian Chen's apprentice three years ago, she has been studying with him. Now that she has graduated from university and has been promoted from an intern researcher, she has applied for a laboratory and started preparing to research her own topic.

This time, she learned from her master that a scientific research team from the empire was preparing to go to the Antarctic glacier to collect samples of ancient bacteria.

So he applied to join this scientific research team and came to Antarctica.

"Xiao Ning, what are you looking at?"

At this time, a voice came from her ear. Luo Fangning turned her head and looked at the person and said with a smile: "Sister Yunyun, isn't this my first time here? I am a little curious."

"Haha, there's nothing to see in Antarctica, except snow and more snow. There are only some penguins and seals that are a bit interesting.

After we settle down, Sister Yun will take you to see the penguins."

“Really!!”

As he spoke, Luo Fangning hugged Yun Yun affectionately and smiled.

Looking at the innocent look of the little girl in front of her, Yun Yun scratched her nose lovingly, "Why, when have you ever seen Sister Yun go back on her word?

Well, let’s stop talking, we still have a lot of work to do.”

Having said that, Yun Yun took Luo Fangning and walked away.

Next they need to set up a base, and then go to the target location for inspection tomorrow.

Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The group arrived at the destination area as usual.

After adjusting the instrument, we started exploring under the ice layer as the instrument was running.

Time passed little by little, and soon several hours had passed.

During this period, they did not know how many places they changed, and after analyzing a large number of samples, they captured traces of archaea.

At this time, Zhou Yan, the captain of the outer guard team, looked at the time.

Then he turned his head to look at the researchers who were busy working behind him. For some reason, he felt a little palpitated.

This feeling came out of nowhere, and disappeared in an instant.

Just as he was thinking about the palpitations he had just felt, he suddenly felt the ice under his feet tremble slightly.

The next moment, he heard a panicked sound coming from behind him.

Hearing the sound, the members of the escort team immediately looked over.

I saw a crack in the ice appearing in the scientific research team, and it was expanding rapidly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan rushed over, came to the ice crack and jumped down without hesitation.

Several people fell into the ice crack. In panic, the intelligent system on their bodies immediately detected the danger and activated the protection function instantly.

As the protective device was turned on, a transparent fetal ball wrapped around them.

At the same time, it identifies the current dangerous situation and deforms to reduce the speed of falling.

With the protection of the fetal ball, the people who fell down immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The ice crack became narrower and narrower as it went down, and finally the tire ball was stuck in the crack after bouncing a few times.

Luo Fangning lay in the fetal ball, looking at the star-like, river-like things below, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Just now they did not detect any ice cracks underground from the instruments, otherwise they would not have chosen this place.

Moreover, with such a large ice crack, not to mention the advanced instruments in their hands, even any ordinary geological detection device in society would not be able to fail to detect such a large ice crack.

In other words, there is something underground that is interfering with their instrument signals, or this ice crack has just appeared.

Just as she was thinking about things, there was a noise from above, and she saw that all the members of the escort team jumped down.

After arriving in front of the few people, Zhou Yan looked at them and asked, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Several people shook their heads and said, "Captain Zhou, we are protected by the fetal balls and are not injured. We just fell down suddenly and got a little scared."

Hearing this, Zhou Yan nodded.

"I'm glad you're all okay. We don't know if there's any danger down there yet. Let's go up first."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan nodded to the team members.

Afterwards, several people used something to fix the fetal ball that supported them, and the flight function inside the armor was running at full power, rushing quickly to the ice surface.

at the same time.

The river-like dots under the ice were surging slightly.

I saw a number of translucent eyeless fish jumping out and then falling back into the water.

This is an ice space buried thousands of meters underground, and this small river is a tributary of the water vein below.

On the ice.

After Zhou Yan and his companions brought Luo Fangning and the others up, they looked at the wide ice layer behind them and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that no one was injured this time.
