Due to the ample time, the top 32 teams had studied their opponents thoroughly. Both wanted to gain the upper hand in this battle, and at the same time win while preserving their strength to the greatest extent. The Dynasty battle team was the same.
They were facing the Sirius Star battle team. Although they were not in the top 10, they were undoubtedly a super strong team. This could be understood in Elite Academy X. The team leader was also an Earth-rank warrior from the Sirius Star. As a top team, the team leaders were basically all Earth-rank, or at least Earth-rank level 1. This SIG was nominally a battle between military schools, but it was actually already connected to the military. However, the Elite Academy X team was undoubtedly a true student, and was at a disadvantage here.
Lear's current problem was that Zhou Yun, Pang Tong, and Anluda had objected to Luo Fei being the scout, and Luo Fei himself was a coward, asking to be a substitute.
Zhou Yun, Pang Tong, and Anluda were very important to Lear. This was the first time that members from the outer Solar System had supported him since he had become a candidate for the Son of Saint. This was a good start. Lear was not sure if they had gotten the news, or if the Saint had arranged it, so he gave them face. At the same time, their strength was indeed not bad. But recently, Lear had discovered that something was wrong. These three had a lot of "problems", often pointing fingers at the Dynasty battle team. Although they still had some respect for him, this respect seemed to be treating him like Ah Dou, as if he, a candidate for the Son of Saint, was completely useless without them?
Zhou Yun understood, but Pang Tong and Anluda were a little off, and Zhou Yun seemed to have been roped in by these two, causing the Dynasty battle team to be a little disunited. The Mayans could not be counted on. Their contract would end at the end of this SIG, so he had to let the Dynasty battle team achieve results in this SIG, and they had to be the champion. The basic requirement was to enter the top eight, and it would be ideal if they could enter the top four. Lear was still very clear about the situation.
Lear had hoped that Luo Fei would be more capable, but Luo Fei had actually chickened out. As the leader, he had to make his own rules to convince the masses. Luo Fei was a coward.
Lear could not act up on the spot. After the battle meeting, Luo Fei was kept behind by Lear.
The meeting room was very quiet. Luo Fei lowered his head. Lear did not speak, and Luo Fei did not dare to.
After a while, Lear looked at Luo Fei. "Do you think you're a burden?"
Luo Fei lowered his head. Deep in his bones, Luo Fei's heart was indeed filled with inferiority. Looking at the bright Zhou Yun and the rest, whether it was in terms of image or temperament, they were worlds apart. Sometimes, he himself felt that it was very embarrassing to go out with Lear. He could not even be considered a follower.
What Lear was facing today was no longer the Earth that he could control, nor was it the familiar Solar System. Instead, it was the completely unknown Milky Way Alliance. He wanted to plot against this world and had many things to do. He did not have the time to keep an eye on Luo Fei.
"In this world, the only one who can look down on you is yourself. Luo Fei, think carefully. Do you want to continue on, or do you want to go back? I'll give you a chance to choose."
Lear patted Luo Fei's shoulder and left the room.
In this world, only Luo Fei had given him a choice.
The Sirius Star battle team was very strong, and Lear did not dare to let his guard down. If he was careless, it would be difficult for him to climb back up. The Saint would not give him a second chance. He had his own considerations.
In the Asura Battle Team, Olivios was also prepared. This was the last time he and Mars would fight together. Olivios knew his own problems. He needed to be stronger. Through Mars, he already knew Wang Zheng's current level. He was already very clear about Ability X. He did not expect Wang Zheng's physical techniques to be almost invulnerable. And this mountain had to be crossed. The Heavenly Overlord Attack was stronger the stronger.
The exploration team in deep space immediately sent out warships to search after discovering that the exploration ship was missing.
"Star Deer V6, Star Deer V6, this is warship number 10, please respond if you receive."
In deep space, warship number 10 advanced at cruising speed, searching for the missing exploration ship.
The scanning energy meter was turned on, and the residual index was analyzed. Ten hours ago, the Star Deer V6 exploration ship had stopped here. However, like jumping off a cliff, the residual energy disappeared in an instant.
This feeling was like a person appearing in front of you, and then suddenly disappearing without leaving any trace.
"This is impossible, energy conservation. Since it could be found in front, it's impossible for it to disappear for no reason."
Ruhrut did not feel good.
As a veteran captain of the Alliance, Ruhrut had very outstanding deep space navigation experience. In countless deep space expeditions, he had encountered countless dangers and strange incidents. However, this time, the feeling was different.
There was no residual energy, which meant that all the engines of the Star Deer V6, including the survival support system, were completely shut down.
This was space, no one would do that …
Wait, there was another hypothesis. If there was a mothership, and a big fish swallowed the exploration ship, it could also cause this effect.
"Expand the scanning energy level!"
"Yes, what is the range?"
"Full band! Immediately! "
"Yes, the scanning energy level is increased to full band."
"Start scanning."
Silently, the information flowed like a tide.
The energy meter in front of Ruhrut changed from the microscopic to the macroscopic.
A huge picture was reflected in Ruhrut's eyes. With more than 20 years of deep space navigation experience as a captain, Ruhrut could almost see the problem with one look. "Open the engines at full speed, fly at warp speed …"
Boom …
Instantly, the entire ship shook violently!
"Warning! Warning! Main engine shutting down! "
"Emergency rescue, no, send out a warning …"
Before Ruhrut finished speaking, he saw the information officer's pale face. He raised his head again, and the image in front of the ship's viewfinder screen made him unable to say another word.
Captain's meeting.
Meng Tian quietly listened to the intense argument between the captains.
Ruhrut's Star Deer No.10 had lost contact!
Although the news was blocked at the first instance, the feeling that a storm was coming had already become a consensus among the fleet's higher-ups.
Ruhrut was an old captain with 23 years of exploration experience. With his ability, a search and rescue mission, unless it was extremely dangerous, would definitely not lose contact.
The focal point of the argument between the captains was whether the fleet should retreat now, or should they immediately start a search and rescue mission for the missing Star Deer No.10.
Obviously, retreating could ensure safety. Although losing a battleship was serious for the deep space exploration fleet, it was still within an acceptable range.
And leaving behind the risks that they would face.
It was unknown.
They did not know and did not understand, so they were in awe.
"Silence!"
The fleet's supreme commander, Lieutenant General Hobb waved his hand, and a star map was unfurled in front of the conference table.
In the middle of the star map was a dark and dead planet.
This was also the location where the exploration spaceship and Star Deer No.10 had lost contact. Obviously, the problem and risk were most likely on this planet.
Lieutenant General Hobb continued, "The scan shows that the planet's life energy index is over 90. This should be a planet with flourishing life. But from the perspective of space, this is a dead rock star without water."
With a buzz, the conference hall that had just quietened down was filled with low voices of discussion again.
"Life energy does not mean that there is life. Under many kinds of interference circumstances, the scan results will show completely different results. On the star map, through space observation, we can see that this should be a space collapse. The energy turbulence formed from the collapse may cause the scan results to show that this is a planet with life."
A senior captain stood up and gave his opinion. "If Star Deer No.10 crashed into this planet, the theoretical survival rate is not more than 1%."
Obviously, this was a captain who did not want to take the risk of staying behind.
Hobb nodded. The exploration spaceship had crashed, and it could be seen as a normal loss. Deep space voyages were never 100% trouble-free. But for a high-level battleship commanded by a senior captain of the Milky Way Alliance to lose contact was definitely no less than encountering a magnitude 8 earthquake.
According to the Milky Way Alliance's deep space exploration regulations, in such a situation, the fleet commander could not make the decision alone. All the captains had the right to make suggestions, and the fleet's next move would be decided by a vote.
"First, avoid the risk. Leave three exploration spaceships for search and rescue. The fleet will immediately fly to the coverage of the Milky Way Alliance's signal and report the situation upwards. The Milky Way Alliance will decide the next move. The second option is for us to carry out a search and rescue operation on the spot. The main target is this planet. Everyone should understand that in deep space, time is of the essence. "
As the Lieutenant General's voice fell, the discussion that had been carried out previously became even more intense.
Actually, most of the captains were more inclined towards the first option of avoiding the risk. No one wanted to face the danger head-on. Present, no one dared to say that they were more cautious than Ruhrut. And Ruhrut had already lost contact, which proved that the risk was huge. There were all kinds of possibilities, from an interstellar storm that could annihilate the entire fleet to the Zerg race …
Moreover, if they really crashed into that planet …
The outcome would be even worse, and the rescue would be difficult.
But Hobb's last words had touched the soft side of people's hearts. In the deep space of the universe, where human signals could not cover in time, the earlier the search and rescue started, the higher the chance of survival. Everyone was a captain, and no one could guarantee that they would never encounter difficulties. Today, they had chosen to avoid the risk. Perhaps, when it was their turn, others would make the same choice.
Lost in deep space, isolated and without help, was the most terrifying thing.
Many captains were looking at Lieutenant General Hobb. However, the Lieutenant General's stiff face made it hard to tell which choice he was leaning towards. Neutral?
In the intense debate, the captains were divided into three factions. One faction insisted on returning and letting the Milky Way Alliance send a stronger fleet to deal with the danger. The other faction hoped to immediately start a full rescue operation. The third faction was the neutral faction that did not want to bear the responsibility.
Among them, the debate was endless. Radical and conservative, each had their own reasons.
"General, I have a few words to say." At this moment, a cold female voice sounded.
Hobb turned his head to look. "Acting Captain Meng Tian … please speak."
Meng Tian's cold face was as calm as usual, and her voice was also very calm. "Everyone here is my senior. I think everyone should have already felt that something was wrong. The disappearance of the exploration spaceship and patrol spaceship is not completely a normal physical phenomenon."
