"I don't have time to soak mushrooms with you." Xu Shijie said impatiently, "This mission is mainly to send Professor Xie and his research team to observe the number of supernova explosions up close, after Professor Xie transferred from the Guardian to your warship, you have time to ask for details slowly." ”

"Professor Xie?" Ye Fei's eyes lit up, "I'm relieved." ”

"Rest assured what?" Xu Shijie asked casually.

Ye Fei smiled: "Maybe you are willing to send me to death, send Professor Xie together, you are reluctant to others, I believe that this time the task is not to send him to death." ”

When studying astronomical data, he had learned about the top astronomers in China by the way, and only one of them was surnamed Xie, who could make Xu Shijie, the Minister of National Defense, a professor, and he would never find a second one except Xie Guohui.

Moreover, Ye Fei already knew about the explosion of Betelgeuse a few days ago, and he suddenly didn't react to the incident just now, and when he spoke, he had already realized the problem of time and distance.

"It's good to know." Xu Shijie pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Professor Xie's task is to observe the number of jù and meet his requirements as much as possible under the premise of ensuring safety." But you didn't go in vain, let me find out the situation around Betelgeuse, especially if there are any overweight elements, and how much is stored. ”

"Yes!" Ye Fei agreed neatly, but he was thinking in his heart: the task must be to check whether the explosion of Betelgeuse has synthesized super-heavy elements, and take a group of experts in astronomy to go around, but it is just incidental.

Xu Shijie spewed out two turbid gases heavily in his nostrils: "Ye Fei." You must know that after entering the shock wave of Betelgeuse, the communication will be disrupted, and we do not yet know what kind of impact it will have on the communication after entering the shock layer, in addition, the shock wave or some other reason can also affect the use of the portal, so after entering the shock layer, you can only rely on your own judgment to complete the task, which is different from any previous mission, I want you to clarify the difficulty of the mission. Don't be blindly optimistic. ”

Ye Fei said solemnly: "Don't worry, chief." When there is no portal, I am the captain of the capital ship...... Let me bring a fleet, just in case, right? ”

Xu Shijie didn't answer Ye Fei's words, and instead said: "Further transformation of the battleship will be carried out later, and we will set off as soon as the project is completed." If Betelgeuse is found to have overweight elements there......"

"Send the battleship back immediately to report the situation!" Ye Fei replied loudly.

"That's just one of them." Xu Shijie stretched out an index finger. "Before the effects of supernova explosions on quantum communication and portals disappear. We don't have the ability to reach Betelgeuse directly, so I'll bring you enough engineering robots if you find a super-heavy elemental ore. I need you and your fleet to put down root for the time being, and to mine as much as you can. ”

Xu Shijie's tone and expression made Ye Fei stunned, and he subconsciously became stern: "Chief, Betelgeuse can't run away, is it necessary?" ”

He shifted his gaze to the rest of the screen, and immediately saw that the engineering ship that had passed through the Guò portal had flown towards the Xinyuan with a huge armor component, apparently to add thicker armor to the battleship.

Ye Fei didn't know that the modification completed in the Blue Light Star was the earliest modification plan, according to the original plan, the battleship was modified to the size of the guò portal, and it should directly set off to fly to Betelgeuse.

However, Xu Shijie felt that in the face of the powerful power of the supernova explosion, he could not be too cautious, so he proposed a more perverted modification plan.

The armor brought by the engineering ship from the base star has been made in the last few days, and after this part of the armor is covered, the thickness of the main armor of the battleship will reach an astonishing five kilometers!

That is, the thickness of the main armor belt of the battleship will reach eight kilometers, the thinnest part of the armor will also be close to six kilometers, and the length of the battleship will exceed eighteen kilometers due to the transformation, and the real functional area will be exactly the same as the original battleship!

The armor layer composed of layers of composite armor can protect the safety of the crew to the greatest extent - if the supernova explodes at close range only a few light-years away from the battleship, then no one can guarantee that these armors will maintain the integrity of the crew, but now that the shock wave has left Betelgeuse four or two hundred light-years, such armor is completely impregnable before approaching Betelgeuse.

Having said that, the armor of the battleship itself is mainly made of metal materials, and this kind of thing is really not as strong as the armor of the battleship.

"I don't know." Xu Shijie said, "You must know that with the solar system as the center, there are only two places within a radius of 2,000 light-years that have superheavy elements, which can be much rarer than heavy element galaxies, and Betelgeuse is likely to be the third." Within the known range, there are already three races of subhumans, Shang and Zhen who know the purpose of teleportation crystals, and it is still a mystery how many other super-heavy elements are used for us that we don't know. After the General Staff conducted the deduction, it was believed that after the shock wave of the supernova explosion arrived in the star field where the Yaren, Shang and Zhen were located, it was likely to cause the covetousness of these three powerful races. We must seize the opportunity for the future development of the Republic. ”

Ye Fei said solemnly: "I understand, it's right to give me such a task." He suddenly felt as if he was being pressed against Tarzan's shoulder.

The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, the weak will only cower in the face of pressure, and the strong will only rise to the challenge and take the lead.

Xu Shijie held his breath in his throat, so he choked: "You kid feels good about himself, don't you think that the task was specially arranged for you by me?" ”

"Of course!" Ye Fei looked at it with a geographical expression, "Which urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy task was not handed over to me?" ”

"Gotta sè!" Xu Shijie reprimanded, "Do you think that you are the only one who is fragrant and sweet, and everyone else is nested?" ”

"Facts speak louder than words!" Ye Fei was full of pride, "Chief, you always give me the most difficult tasks, and you don't admit the facts, so it's boring." ”

"Fuck off, I'll coax you to play!" Xu Shijie bared his teeth threateningly, and then sighed again, "If it's a combat mission, I really won't give it to others, but this time it's not a combat mission, and there is a lot of risk, I really didn't plan to hand it over to you." ”

"Huh?" Ye Fei was really stunned this time, "Why?" ”

"Why else," Xu Shijie said helplessly, "But there is no way, the blue star is in a mess, the base star defense can't leak, Yunzhou Star is close to the Asians and the Saucer clan, and the strategic mobile corps has to be optimistic about the Middle East, and if you calculate it, it belongs to you as the richest...... It is not easy to produce a general who can fight, and it is a waste to carry out such a task. (To be continued......)
