(Thanks to Student Two Blades for the 100,000 reward. Success in becoming the leader of the Storm Alliance. Awesome!)
Meng Tian's fingers moved slightly, and a navigation chart appeared. According to the energy level, it clearly indicated the danger. "This barren planet should be full of signs of life. Of course, due to space physics, there may be errors. But everyone, look at the light blue ripples. "
Everyone in the conference room frowned. It seemed that there should not be light blue ripples here.
"I don't know if everyone remembers the KPO237 incident," Meng Tian said. In an instant, everyone in the room sat up straight.
"You mean to say that what we're seeing is an illusion?" Lieutenant General Hobb said in a low voice.
"Too many coincidental factors make it inevitable. I think what we're seeing is an illusion. When this light blue energy wave appears, it means that the planet we're seeing is two-dimensional, not three-dimensional!"
Meng Tian said decisively. The dimensions of the universe were at a height that humans were still unable to delve into. But it was certain that our normal physical range was three-dimensional. But in space, there was a two-dimensional planet. That meant that what they were seeing was a set!
It was just that this was a very realistic set of camouflage.
When Meng Tian said this, everyone in the room stopped talking. They stared at the energy display. It was very realistic, but it could only be said to be a possibility. It was not absolute.
"Meng Tian, you can say what you think," Hobb said. "Yes, General.
I think that what we're facing is an illusion. The other party is intelligent life, and has mastered technology slightly higher than ours. It could be humans, or it could be other civilizations. I personally believe that the other party is hostile, because this habit of concealment and confusion is targeted at us humans. I personally believe that we cannot miss this opportunity. Exploration, as the name suggests, is a risk. Once we miss this opportunity, it may leave a greater threat to the Milky Way Alliance. And the fate of our people is unknown. I am willing to be the vanguard! "
Meng Tian said. Everyone was discussing the possibilities. Sixty percent thought that Meng Tian was being whimsical, but forty percent agreed. The Milky Way Alliance's range of exploration was already very wide. The possibility of an unknown civilization appearing was very low, not to mention a human-like civilization. The energy display could also be wrong. So this was a dead planet, and it was very likely that it was a dead star field filled with space reefs.
Generally, experienced captains would not take such risks. Meng Tian was definitely not the only one who noticed this unstable factor. However, everyone still chose to play it safe, but this also meant that there was no point in exploring. In essence, humans had already lost the adventurous spirit of interstellar navigation.
However, Vice Admiral Hobb had other considerations. In a situation where he had doubts, he could not abandon the two missing ships.
Finally, as the highest commander, Lieutenant General Hobb, who had always been neutral, expressed his position and supported Meng Tian's statement.
The Milky Way Alliance exploration fleet was divided into three groups.
Meng Tian was assigned to the first echelon, a vanguard team consisting of three frigates. They approached the planet according to her plan.
The second echelon was the reinforcement team. They would provide all the necessary support to the three frigates at any time.
The third echelon was the protection team. They were centered around the two core motherships of the fleet. The meaning of protection here was survival. No matter what happened, the mission of the battleships of the third echelon was to break out of the encirclement with all their might and send the news back to the Milky Way Alliance!
Obviously, with such an arrangement, Herb also acknowledged Meng Tian's judgment and prepared for the worst.
Meng Tian's 12th ship was flying in front, and behind it were the other two vanguard ships, the 7th and 11th ships.
"We've reached our destination."
The task of the vanguard team was not to carry out a search and rescue directly but to gain preliminary control of the Star Field and establish a space outpost defense line to provide a safe and reliable environment for the rescue spaceships that would enter the Star Field later.
Of course, at the same time, he was also testing the waters. If there was any danger …
It could effectively ensure the safety of the entire fleet at a relatively small cost.
The three battleships gradually decelerated and began to assess the safety of their surroundings.
Numerous small spaceships and space mechas flew out from the battleship, controlling the surrounding star field.
Sizzle.
The screen in front of Meng Tian flashed.
The other two captains sent a message.
"Captain Meng Tian, based on the current situation, there are no sources of danger in the other Star Fields."
"Only the last coordinate is left, the death planet MG17A. The exploration ship just sent back a report that there is a space turbulence at the coordinates. It should be a space collapse that is currently active."
The two captains meant to launch a defense against the death planet MG17A, and not to take the risk of breaking through.
The meaning of the vanguard team was not to be reckless, but to achieve a goal. Based on the current situation, there was no need to enter the death planet surrounded by space turbulence. The activity of space collapses was like the tide, rising and falling at times.
"If you have no objections, we will start the formation now."
"Captains, I have a different opinion."
Meng Tian looked at the image of the planet displayed in front of the viewfinder.
Through the observation of the space telescope, the trajectory of the ice fragments could be seen with the naked eye. "What a beautiful picture."
"What?"
"Captain Meng Tian, please take note. You are the captain, and you have to be responsible for the entire ship!"
The two captains were clearly unhappy. Meng Tian's speech during the captain's meeting had indeed made them admire her.
But it did not mean that she could lead the vanguard team this time.
At the end of the day, she was just a student with a dream, and she was just an acting captain.
If it was not because of their admiration for her, they would not have asked for her opinion just now, and would have directly informed her on what to do.
Meng Tian did not care about them. Her eyes were fixed on the star map. Now, she could confirm that everything in front of her was definitely an illusion. If it was the energy leakage caused by the space collapse, it would definitely not follow such a pattern. This was definitely a sign of life!
"All team members, prepare for battle. Main ship cannons, aim at the death planet MG17A. Fire in 15 seconds. Countdown begins!"
As the captain, Meng Tian had the right to decide. At this time, she wanted to verify her judgment!
If it was a two-dimensional illusion, then the planet itself could not move, which was the point of breaking the game. Whether it was real or fake, they would know with one shot. Sometimes, thinking too much was not as effective as taking action!
Boom … A laser blasted out. Everyone on the other ships was also waiting quietly.
The entire space was shaking, and then cracks appeared on everything in front of them. It was like a mirror shattering. The death planet disappeared, and what replaced it was a planet full of life!
"Start the scan immediately!" Meng Tian suppressed the excitement in her heart and gave the order immediately.
When the image of the planet appeared on the screen, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. In this unknown star region, there was actually …
Right at this moment, a series of ripples appeared in various parts of the space.
Weng!
In an instant, rays of white light bloomed in the void like flowers. The entire fleet was stopped in this light, and all the instruments stopped working.
The Milky Way Alliance headquarters only received the exploration team's distress signal and a picture, and then the entire exploration team completely disappeared from the universe.
