Chapter 41: Steampunk?
When Renault turned his head to look over, there was something dark green on the surface of the rock, which looked like the excrement of some kind of creature had been dried, and these unnatural formations reinforced the speculation that life once existed on this planet.

Renault frowned and said, "Pull it closer, I'll take a look." ”
"Okay."
As the frame zoomed in, Renault stared at it for a moment, and the woodpecker sent back a number of photographs of this dark green excrement.
Snyder glanced at it a few times and said, "These things seem to be related to the Ark Zerg." ”
"Not as if, but for sure." Renault instantly spoke: "Tell all of their teams to retreat and take materials on the spot." The fleet was put on first level of alert with direct fire support in any case. The planet shows signs of Zerg activity. ”
Snyder nodded, quickly relaying Renault's order.
In this unknown planet exploration team, it was quickly recovered, and it didn't take long for them to get together.
When they were sure that they had not alarmed the enemy for the time being, they took down the equipment from the buggy, drilled holes in the cave, and went back to test their reasoning to see what the planet was made of and if there were any resources available.
The fleet quickly dispersed, forming a semi-arc to encircle the planet, in preparation for fire support at a critical moment.
However, in the highly tense state of Renault and the others, the enemy did not appear as they thought, and there was still no movement until the woodpecker collected samples in many places. Renault also understood what was going on, although there were traces of the presence of the Ark Zerg on this planet, it seemed to be a thing of the past. With the keen sense of smell of the Yak Zerg, they are afraid that the woodpeckers will be attacked by the other party as soon as they break into the opponent's territory.
Renault immediately gave the order to return them to the starship.
At this time, the woodpecker, which was the first to land on this planet, also named it Ark One, and at the same time returned to the landing craft with the samples he had collected, and then the swarm slowly started to fly into the sky.
Seeing this scene, Renault was completely relieved.
And just then, a new surprise arises.
A fleet appeared in the range of Renault and others.
And it won't be long before the woodpeckers will be discovered, and it is obviously impossible to avoid this fleet at this time, because the speed of these transports outside the Ark One will definitely not be able to surpass the opponent's fleet.
What surprised Renault the most was that he could still meet a human fleet in such a place, and it seemed that the scope of human expansion in the universe was far beyond human imagination, and it was by no means limited to the territory of the federal territory.
"Snyder, gather information, do we know this fleet?" Renault asked.
"Wait a minute." Snyder hurriedly collected the badges and patterns he knew from his head, since he had the ability, Snyder's brain is like a large computer, not only can store a lot of knowledge, but also can accurately distinguish them and find out the most useful information when they are needed, it can be said that Snyder is the highest human intelligence in the existing IA.
While Snyder was collecting information, Renault was not idle, and immediately mobilized the two fleets to leave quickly, trying to avoid this fleet. As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people, and for Renault, although these fleets are his confidence, they are also very likely to be their trouble.
Therefore, when meeting strange humans, Renault's first consideration was to hide his hole cards first and use them as a critical time.
However, if Tycos and Woodpecker were left alone to face them in these large transport ships, there would be some danger. Muscles are always the first guarantee of peace, so if you want these people to treat you equally, you need muscles similar to them.
"Clockwork, Isado, you two greet you, it's best to find out from these people to see if there are anyone else here besides them." Renault said.
"Got it." Clockwork laughed.
Humans have always been social creatures, and it is also a good idea for everyone to be able to find their own kind and find their congregation and live in the same place with them.
For Free Hearts, the biggest problem they want to compete with the entire federal government is people. Without enough crews, there is no way to handle more starships. As for the starship problem, as long as they solve the technical difficulties in manufacturing, they can plunder a lot of resources, but make them into a production line, like the federal government, and continue to produce their own starships. Even if this condition cannot be met for the time being, Renault can continue the previous practice and start by plundering.
However, the crew has always been a problem that is difficult for the free heart to solve now, and in his plan, he has even had the idea of absorbing some highly intelligent aliens to replenish the fleet, and it is naturally a happy thing to be able to meet humans.
When there was enough crew, Renault did not worry about the commander at all, because the war always brought a lot of talented people to the fore. Just put these people on the front line, and the best talent will be found in waves.
After the Freedom Fleet and Ravel's fleet gradually disappeared into the dark void, Izado and Clockwork also met Tycos with two battleships and three frigates.
It didn't take long for the men to spot Isado and them, and they sped up.
And Renault just watched the two fleets face each other from afar, and the actions of the other party also decided their own lives.
For Isado and the others, although the other party's fleet was larger than their own, they were not afraid at all, and just slowly mobilized the starship to protect the landing craft behind them and returned to the large transport ship.
And the other party also seemed to notice Izado's move, deliberately lowered the speed of the ship to show that he was not hostile, and then approached Isadore and them at a slow speed.
Isadore saw that the fleet of these people was headed by three relatively complete conventional starships, and some of the latter starships looked like they were converted from conventional starships, and in addition, there were many transport ships and advance ships, or other small ships, and it was no surprise that these ships were very densely equipped with firepower. Unlike a regular fleet, frigates, battleships, and advance ships all have their own roles, and all of their ships are based on firepower.
This also gives Isado the illusion that he has a technological civilization and suddenly returns to a steampunk civilization.
"Who are you?" After clockwork connected to the other party's communication, a bearded man spoke.
And Clockwork was also relieved to hear his standard federal language, because they found that these "people" were both human beings and spoke federal dialects, so there would be no problem in communication, and they would not fire on both sides because of some other things.
