Chapter 574

The voyage of this reconnaissance fleet is only 3 months for the exclusive detector. Although 3 months can only be considered a very short voyage compared to previous interstellar voyages, this is not the case.

First of all, this escort mission is very important and of great significance. Secondly, all the soldiers, including Cheng Long, are not sure whether they can survive this escort mission.

Therefore, every minute of these three months seems very long, and even a bit precious.

Although Colonel Cheng Long is a senior officer with a strong heart and high military literacy, it is also difficult for her to face the three months in a casual manner.

Out of a strong sense of mission and responsibility, Cheng Long must also attach great importance to this task.

In addition to sleeping, dining and solving physiological needs, Cheng Long has been staying in the watchtower of the command ship.

Looking aimlessly outside the porthole, the view was filled with a dark and ethereal universe, as if something was attracting and waiting for her in the starry sky.

In fact, the starry sky outside the porthole is always unchanged, no matter how long Cheng Long stayed there and stared at it.

The soldiers of the fleet did not disturb her often. Anyway, if there were no accidents during the escort, there were no special tasks to arrange and instruct.

This day was as usual.

After having a meal with the soldiers in the restaurant, Cheng Long came to the observation deck alone again.

"I hope today will be a peaceful day as before."

Cheng Long stood in front of the porthole, thinking silently in his heart.

The closer she approached the target area, the more her nerves became tense.

If nothing unexpected happens, after 18 hours, three specially made detectors will arrive at the target area. After arriving at the target area, these detectors will continue to fly forward and begin to enter the effective working area. This also means that the escort mission of the reconnaissance fleet is successfully completed.

The traveler of a hundred miles is half a ninety, and the last 18 hours are particularly difficult for every staff member and soldier.

Although the work of debugging the detector was carried out by special engineering scientists, Cheng Long, who was responsible for the escort task, also felt like walking on thin ice.

The difficult time finally grinded through minute by minute, and three special detectors were also debugged. The staff gradually adjusted until they turned off all the push engines of the detector, suspended all high-power and strong radiation instruments, and turned on the electromagnetic wave invisible state, allowing the detector to fly in the direction of the unknown universe civilization at the fastest inertial speed and the best navigation state.

Just as the scientist team was busy, a young officer walked into the observation deck.

"Col. In front of us is the end coordinates of the escort mission, and we are about to complete the mission."

In the final stage, the young officer would report to Colonel Cheng Long, the head of the reconnaissance fleet on time every hour.

"Continue to keep alert!"

Cheng Long did not say much, but issued the order seriously and cautiously.

"yes!!"

The young officer also turned around and left the observation deck tacitly, no longer disturbing Cheng Long's contemplation.

"Will these detectors successfully collect more information about unknown universe civilization?"

Cheng Long was still standing in front of the porthole, looking at the dark universe as dark as ink, thinking silently in his heart.

"I'm afraid there will be a reconnaissance fleet of unknown universe civilizations that happen to pass by near the detector."

Of course, the probability of this is too low, the universe is so wide, and the camouflaged detectors are as small as a speck of dust. Unless they are very close, even with extremely high technological levels, it is difficult to notice them.

However, when the detector sends out signals, it is very likely to be captured by the probe, but at that time the detection signal has been sent back to the new world of mankind, and even if the detector eventually "sacrificed gloriously" it would die.

The internal intelligent communication system of the reconnaissance ship is broadcasting every step of the fleet.

"The detector has arrived at the target area."

"Everything is normal around you! Everything is normal!"

"After testing, no abnormalities were found."

"Detector No. 1 is ready to correct the route and make the route successful!"

"Detector No. 3 is ready to correct the route and make the route successfully!"

Therefore, Cheng Long could see three detectors that were only the size of rice grains in sight gradually moving away from the three slightly different directions through the porthole.

“Have you completed the task successfully?”

Like other soldiers participating in the escort operation, Cheng Long also let out a long sigh of relief when he looked at the scene in the distance, and his heart, which had been hanging, finally let go as the detector gradually faded away.

Three hours later, in the command ship of the reconnaissance fleet, Dr. Aristotle found Colonel Cheng Long.

"Dr. Aristotle!" Cheng Long turned around and saw the oncoming old senior.

"Thank God! We finally completed the mission."

Dr. Aristotle's face was filled with a smile, as if even the wrinkles like gullies had been reduced a lot.

"Congratulations to your team for successfully launching these detectors into the unknown universe civilization!!"

"Col. Cheng, you should congratulate the human civilization in the entire new world, and your reconnaissance fleet has also put in hard work in this process."

"The escort work is much easier than I imagined." Cheng Long smiled.

"Haha, everything goes well."

"Doctor, are you and other scientists ready to return?"

"Everything is ready." Dr. Aristotle nodded and continued with concern, "Col. Cheng, are you sure you don't consider returning to Kepler Deep Space Observatory with us?"

"Oh, no, no, I have issued an order. Except for the returning fleet, other reconnaissance ships will continue to move towards the unknown universe civilization!"

"Well, I can only wish you good luck, let's go back first."

Cheng Long's face was full of determination, and Dr. Aristotle also understood her determination.

"I wish you a good journey, too."

Cheng Long hugged the old senior in front of him again and gave sincere blessings

It has been about a month since the return of Dr. Aristotle and other staff.

According to the flight speed of unknown universe civilization, it can be judged that the reconnaissance fleet is not far from them.

However, in the past few days, even Cheng Long, who has been through a long battle, has felt uneasy and nervous.

Looking out from the lookout, today seems to be a little different from the past. The unchanging starry sky in the past seems to have undergone some subtle changes at this moment.

The reconnaissance fleet captured a little dark and weak spot of light on the right front of the route, and the spot of light seemed to be moving at an extremely high speed, as if... the spot of light was continuing to approach the reconnaissance fleet.

This unusual discovery immediately attracted the attention of Colonel Cheng Long. In the observation deck, she even squinted her eyes and kept looking towards the light spot, but with the naked eye, she could not observe any specific information.

"Is it some high reflectivity interstellar matter (such as ice), or some special category of space garbage, or detectors of unknown cosmic civilizations or something like that?"

Cheng Long's mind kept surging.
