On November 26, 2221, more than a month after the Superstar returned to the base star, the Provenance arrived at the target area of the trip.

"Prepare to get out of the speed of light!" Ye Fei said loudly.

"The control system is normal!" Jiang Xue reported.

"The weapon system is normal!" Scissors report.

"The communication system is normal!" Ruan Peng reports.

"Camouflage system is normal!" Xia Zhuoyan reported.

Ye Fei nodded heavily: "Return to the normal space!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the provenance number was out of the speed of light under Jiang Xue's control, and the spherical panoramic screen re-showed the starry sky after more than 30 days of absence.

"The position of the battleship is confirmed, and when it arrives in the mission area, no galaxy has been found within the alert distance!" Jiang Xue reported again.

"The optical system is normal, the nearest star is found, the flat angle is 273 degrees 24 minutes, the vertical angle is 38 degrees 44 minutes, and the distance is 0.54 light years." Xia Zhuoyan reported again.

There are no enemies and new communications, and the second round of situation reports is without scissors and Nguyen Peng.

Confirming the safety of the nearby airspace, Ye Fei exhaled lightly: "Course adjustment, flat angle 273 vertical angle 38, the target is the closest star to our ship, let's go!" ”

"Flat angle 273, vertical angle 38, faster-than-light countdown, three, two, one, start!" Jiang Xue confirmed the number of headings one by one, and the provenance entered the superluminal flight state again.

Counting the distance saved through the Guò Shang Portal, the distance between the location of the Provenance and the Solar System at this time is close to 2,000 light years, which is insignificant to the entire universe, but it is the farthest airspace ever reached by mankind!

Humans have extremely limited knowledge of such a distant deep space and can observe the stars. Accounting for only a small part of the total number of stars, the provenance is completely blind to the situation in the mission area, except for the general scope of the mission area, the Second Department of the General Staff has not been able to provide any basic information related to the crab people.

The provenance must fly over the entire mission area to find out the distribution and strength of the crab tribe in the mission area, so as to provide a reliable basis for the final strategic decision of the headquarters.

Among the three warships that received the mission, the mission area of the Giant, that is, the mission area taken over by the Seed Source, needed to fly only 800 light years, which was the closest but the largest in the mission area; Provenance would have flown 1,500 light-years, less than one-third of the range of the Giant.

After the Superstar was forced to withdraw. The original mission area of the provenance was split into two parts. Incorporated into the mission areas of the Provenance and Guardian respectively, the combined mission areas of the two have a reconnaissance range of more than 300 light-years in length and a width of nearly 300 light-years. It is equivalent to most of the Atlantis Star Country.

Reconnaissance operations are equivalent to penetrating deep into the interior of an enemy country. Extra care must be taken to be safe. To perform such a task, it is necessary to have a warship with a camouflage system in order to ensure maximum safety.

One of the warships of the whole army is counted as one. It is the three half-biological warships that have both the camouflage system and the ability to sail, and based on this consideration, the headquarters will hand over the task to the three half-biological warships.

It was also for the same reason that the superstar, which had failed in camouflage systems, had to withdraw from the mission.

The mechanical damage on the semi-biological warship is easy to repair, but the camouflage layer of the ship's surface must be cultivated by biochemical means, and the camouflage layer of the superstar is almost completely lost, and there is no possibility of repairing it in a short time.

Half an hour later, the provenance arrived in the target system, but the star was only the most common red dwarf, and the two poor planets around the star were tidally locked, with no sign of life at all.

It only took a few minutes for the provenance to record the characteristics of the stars and planets, and after the recording was completed, Ye Fei said lightly: "Let's go, the next target." ”

The battleship again went to faster-than-light after staying for seven minutes.

In the days that followed, the provenance continued to fly between the stars in the mission area, and everywhere it went, it had to make detailed or simple records according to the specific conditions of the galaxy, and a star field in the distant deep space gradually took shape on the star map of mankind.

The situation of the crab clan has also been understood to a certain extent with the gradual deepening of reconnaissance.

Since the crab clan belongs to the biological civilization, and the biological civilization has no demand for heavy elements, the distribution of the crab clan is not limited by the heavy elements, and basically the crab clan can be seen in places where there are habitable planets in the mission area.

For human beings, the difference between a first-class habitable star and a second-class habitable star is that the former is suitable for human survival, while the latter has an ecological environment, but the specific conditions such as gravity and atmospheric composition cannot meet the needs of human beings, so it is one level lower than the former.

The crab people are very adaptable to the planetary environment, and the difference between the first and second class of habitable stars has no effect on them, and the crab people living on these planets are very prosperous - the most important indicator of whether the crab people are prosperous is the number of giant beasts raised on the planet, and these large creatures similar to dinosaurs are the rations of cosmic creatures, and their number is directly related to the number of cosmic creatures outside the planet.

After seeing many habitable stars of the crab clan, Ye Fei and others found that the crab clan's ability to transform the planet is very strong, basically all the galaxies belonging to the crab clan are planted with the same system of plants, raising animals under the same biological system, as long as you compare the previous records on the provenance, compare the animals and plants on the planet, you can determine whether a planet belongs to the crab clan.

These planets are like the ranches of the crab people, as primitive as the earth in the Jurassic era, and whenever the crab scorpions or other cosmic creatures that belong here need to feed, they will prey on the largest giant beasts on the planet to devour.

Although the giant beasts on the planet are large, they are from the perspective of human beings, and if they are compared with the cosmic creatures in the sky, they are like the delusion of beans and watermelons, and the two are not comparable at all.

According to the research results of Room 1, the volume of any kind of cosmic creature is not too small, and the reason for this situation is that cosmic creature not only flies to the stars, but also must cross the distant interstellar space to be called cosmic creatures.

A cosmic creature like a star-eating ant, which is only more than 100 meters long, is definitely a rare breed of cosmic creatures, and it may even be cultivated by herdsmen!

More and more information related to the crab clan is being collected, but the strange thing is that no matter which planet it is, the body of the crab clan has not been discovered, even if Ye Fei has been squatting near several prosperous first-class habitable stars for more than ten days, he has not been able to find any creatures that may be the crab clan on these planets!

After a long time, he began to gradually wonder if the crab clan lived in the body of cosmic creatures like the Outer Bone Man! (To be continued......)
