Chapter 35 Uninvited Audience
In the deserted wilderness of 4th Star Zone, a small fleet was carefully sailing on the route. The Glory Queen command ship and 22 specially modified corvettes were the full strength of this fleet.
On the bridge, Gu Fan, as the fleet commander, was standing in front of the porthole at the moment, examining the Viper-class fire support ships that surrounded the warship and were in charge of guarding it.
Although these little fellows were defined as frigates in the technological category, from the special firepower configuration and the size of the ship, it did not seem too much to call them destroyers.
After only two months or so, the colony on Kata Star had developed steadily with the resources obtained from Soma No. 4. He now even had his own fleet. Gu Fan was naturally very satisfied with this situation.
In addition, in order to have enough manpower, he also ordered the construction of a new synthetic human factory in the colony.
The research ships that were exploring outside, including the frigates in this fleet, were actually piloted by the synthetics.
This would save Xue Feng a lot of energy and allow her to do more for him.
Looking at the scenery outside the window and recalling what he had seen and heard in the past few months, Gu Fan, who felt a little tired, could not help but sigh.
“I didn’t expect to become a fleet commander one day…”
A moment later, he unintentionally glanced at Xue Feng from the corner of his eye. With the help of the reflection on the porthole, he saw that Xue Feng had appeared behind him at some point in time. She was like a cat, always moving silently.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to say, Gu Fan silently turned around, and his gaze subconsciously swept across Xue Feng’s body.
“Do you have something to report?”
Xue Feng merely nodded in silence.
“According to the report of the research ship No. 6, they have discovered a large creature wandering in the void thirty-five light-years away. Therefore, they plan to ask if they need to make further observations.”
“In addition, Lilym has requested to introduce new ingredients. If possible, she hopes to capture the aether dragon discovered not long ago.”
Just as Xue Feng was reporting calmly, Gu Fan happened to notice that there seemed to be a leaf-shaped hair clip stuck in her grayish-white hair that fell to her shoulders.
For some reason, Xue Feng seemed to have become more and more girlish recently. The most obvious characteristic was that she actually started to learn how to dress up. From time to time, there would be some cute accessories on her.
“Let Ship No. 6 continue to observe. We need to understand every environment as much as possible. As for Lilym…’ “Tell her that thing is not much smaller than a satellite. We don’t have the energy to compete with that thing for the time being.”
After getting a clear answer, Xue Feng nodded silently.
“Then I’ll go and inform them.”
However, the moment she turned around, a few bows made of ribbons attracted Gu Fan’s attention again, causing him to mutter in his heart.
“Is it because of those comics?”
As the former person in charge of that base was a young girl called Noira, Gu Fan had discovered many entertainment-related products when he was sorting out the information she had left behind.
For example, there were a total of 400 popular games, as well as an uncountable number of comics and novels.
Gu Fan wasn’t sure if Xue Feng had read these, but ever since he accidentally stuffed a few comics into her storage unit last time, the other party’s appearance had started to become a little strange.
At this moment, an emotionless electronic voice suddenly came from the communicator by Gu Fan’s ear.
“The fleet has reached the designated galaxy.
No threatening targets have been found.”
Through the window, he saw a dead gray planet in front of the fleet. It was the destination of this operation. -A wasteland planet named Hera.
“Keep No. 2 and No. 4 on their toes,”
As soon as Gu Fan finished speaking, the wreckage of the spaceships around the planet became clearer. According to the preliminary investigation of the research ship, this planet called Hera might have belonged to a production world of a foreign race many years ago. It could be seen that Hera should have been quite prosperous in the past, but now, other than the ruins of buildings and the remains of various war machines, this planet had become an absolute forbidden zone for life. Due to the severe damage to the planet’s environment, a highly toxic rainfall that had lasted for many years had already created a swampy plain of more than a thousand square kilometers on the planet’s surface.
And in it was an aircraft carrier that had once belonged to the Human Empire. It was a modified battlecruiser.
After many scans by the research ship, this precious mothership was still in relatively good condition. It had not suffered fatal injuries that were difficult to recover from.
If nothing went wrong, it was very likely that it was the culprit who caused Hera’s destruction. These foreign races might have fought for the ownership of this mothership.
In order to carry out the salvage plan smoothly, Gu Fan specially brought out a batch of rather rare nanomaterials from the base on Kata. As long as the mothership at the bottom of the swamp could regain engine power, it was very likely that the huge ship, which had been sunk for many years, would return to the sky with the help of the engineering servants. At the thought of this, Gu Fan could not help but feel excited.
However, just as Gu Fan’s fleet was ready and had already sent the engineering team that he had chosen in advance to the surface of Hera…
Suddenly, he heard a report from research ship No. 4 on the communication channel. “Sensor detected that an unfamiliar fleet has appeared near the galaxy you are at.” Hearing this, Gu Fan could not help but smack his lips.
“Why did he have to choose such a time when he was at a disadvantage…”
The salvage work had only just begun. Even if he wanted to recycle it, it was not something that could be done immediately.
It felt like you had just been given shower gel and your roommate suddenly told you that there was only one minute left before the water stopped.
“Is there any way to confirm their identities?”
Just as Gu Fan was still fantasizing that perhaps it was just a passing atmosphere group and would not really affect him…
The other party’s next sentence made him fall silent. “Target confirmed to be the specially marked Great Khan.”
“A total of 147 warships are heading in your direction.”
Tsk, I just want to quietly fish up a boat. Why were there suddenly so many uninvited audience members?
