Chapter 306 The people are gone?!
[Turbine] In the port control room.
"..."
Yaqi stared at her fellow tribesman on the screen in front of her expressionlessly, trying to see something from his face.
But...
she failed.
The captain of the transport fleet did not have any abnormal expression of guilt, and he could even look at her calmly without any fluctuations!
Yaqi nodded secretly.
It doesn't look like it was made up.
"Ghost Fleet..." Yaqi frowned slightly, turned around and asked Naji beside him, "Has there been a similar incident in the records of the Bray Alliance?"
Naji shook his head repeatedly without any hesitation.
"There are many rumors about ghost fleets in the alliance, but most of them are false information spread by word of mouth."
"So far, there are only three ghost fleet sightings with real and reliable records."
Yaqi said calmly: "Among these three records, are there any records of ghost fleets opening wormholes?"
"No."
Naji shook his head and denied: "All sightings only observed ghost fleets from a distance. Due to the large size of the fleets, the fleets in the three incidents did not dare to approach each other at will."
"In addition..."
Naji's eyes showed some hesitation: "According to the information described in the records, the ghost fleet should not have a physical body, it is more like an illusory image."
As he said, he quickly raised his head and glanced at his fellow tribesmen on the communication screen: "So, I suspect..."
"The LT49373 fleet may have a big problem."
Yaqi was silent for a moment, and then he opened his mouth again and gave an order: "Help me contact the 943 Free Trade Market."
"Ask them if any abnormal space-time fluctuations have been detected around the market recently?"
Naji was stunned and nodded in response.
...
The efficiency of tachyon communication is very high.
In just a few tens of seconds, a response came from the 943 Free Trade Market, which was more than 2,000 light years away from [Turbine].
"This is the 943 Free Trade Market."
An equally flat voice without any ups and downs came from the communication channel. At the same time, a figure sitting upright on a chair appeared on the screen on the other side.
Naji saluted respectfully and said, "Respected Lord Yagao, this is [Turbine]." "
Did the LT49373 living transport fleet depart from the 943 Free Trade Market?"
"LT49373?"
Hearing the name of [Turbine], Yagao's attitude obviously improved a little.
He nodded and stood up from the wide chair: "It did depart from us, about 22 days ago."
"What's the problem?"
Before Naji could speak, Yaqi stood up and took over the conversation: "At present, this fleet has successfully arrived at [Turbine]. Not only that, LT49373 is not protected by the escort fleet."
"This is impossible!" Yagao's tone was obviously raised. "943 Free Trade Market has prepared a standard escort fleet for LT49373, and... How could LT49373 arrive at [Turbine] so quickly?"
"But this is the fact." Yaqi stared at the figure on the screen, "Yagao, has there been any abnormal space-time fluctuations near 943 Free Trade Market in the past few days?" Yagao
was visibly stunned.
"This... is indeed true."
As soon as the voice fell, Yagao's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the strange things that happened a few days ago.
He was still on vacation at the time.
As a result, a third-level civilization arrived at the free trade market several years in advance, and even brought news of the wormhole, which interrupted his vacation!
Thinking of this, Ya Gao hesitated and asked: "Could it be that... LT49373 also encountered the ghost fleet?"
"Also?" Ya Qi quickly grasped the key point, and the look on his face became more serious, "Do you know the ghost fleet? Or has a similar situation occurred on your side?"
Ya Gao nodded and quickly briefly described the situation of the Swamp Fleet.
"I understand."
The doubts in Ya Qi's eyes quickly dissipated: "Since there is a precedent, there should be no problem with the LT49373 fleet."
She turned her head and looked at Naji: "Naji, open the door of Port No. 1."
"Third-level Swamp Civilization..."
"Let them go to [Turbine] Area C to engage in production work."
...
Inside the 001 Colonial Ship.
Just now, when the female minelayer named Ya Qi proposed to contact the free trade market, Chen Fan's heart was instantly raised to the air.
He was even ready to let the [Varilla] jump in!
If the statements of both parties do not match, or if the other party has noticed something suspicious...
then he can probably launch another vigorous "active infiltration".
Of course, in order to obtain more complete investigation information, Chen Fan is definitely unwilling to do this.
Seeing the tightly closed port gate slowly open and the four-pointed star fleet starting to move forward again, Chen Fan's heart finally fell back to the ground.
"Hibernation awakening program is being executed..."
The electronic synthesized voice sounded again in the spacious cabin of the 001 colony ship.
At the same time, the hibernation chambers neatly arranged in the cabin began to start up in batches under the control of the main control program.
Chen Fan walked to a hibernation chamber and looked at the operation process of the hibernation chamber curiously.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, the hatch of the first batch of hibernation chambers slowly opened, revealing a group of blue-skinned giant salamanders soaked in a special liquid.
This low-temperature liquid not only allows the Swamp People to quickly enter a very low metabolic hibernation state, but also provides the necessary nutrients for the hibernating Swamp People.
Unlike humans, the Swamp Salamanders, which evolved from amphibians, have a fairly complete hibernation ability.
For long-term interstellar voyages, this is undoubtedly a magical skill.
"Shh..."
A sound of liquid flowing away sounded in the colony ship, and these low-temperature liquids with a little blue were gradually absorbed by the hibernation chamber.
The next second, a thin needle popped out of the hibernation chamber and pierced into the body of each stiff Swamp Salamander accurately and quickly.
The pale yellow liquid was injected into the body of the salamander, and over time, the originally stiff skin gradually became elastic.
A little bit of blue luster also appeared on the skin that was originally a bit pale.
Suddenly, the Swamp Salamanders in the hibernation chamber suddenly opened their eyes.
"Amber." Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and greeted the giant salamander softly, "Long time no see."
Amber took two breaths with difficulty and looked around with confused eyes.
After a few seconds, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he responded to Chen Fan's greeting with a hoarse voice: "Chen, Your Excellency Chen Fan..."
"Are we... already there?"
Chen Fan nodded happily and pointed to the hibernation cabin with the door open next to him: "The fleet is about to enter the [Turbine], and the hibernation awakening procedure has just begun."
He struggled to climb out of the hibernation cabin: "Your Excellency Chen Fan, where is Commander Olaya?"
"Olaya stayed in the free trade market." Chen Fan gave a light answer.
Amber's face froze, and he couldn't help but let out an extremely hoarse exclamation: "What?!"
"With Barroka." Chen Fan added.
Hearing this, Amber's face flashed with anxiety: "How can Chief Olaya and Councillor Baroka stay in that place? Isn't this..."
"Looking for death?" Chen Fan took over the conversation.
Amber hesitated and finally nodded with difficulty.
Chen Fan didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand to pull out a "dummy" from the open door of the hibernation cabin.
It's called a dummy, but it's actually a light blue meat ball.
Boom, boom...
The simulated heartbeat came from the light blue meat ball in his hand, and the surface of the meat ball even had a little body temperature.
In the 001 colony ship, there were less than 10,000 real Swamp People lying in the hibernation cabins, and all other hibernation cabins only had these meat balls used to fool around.
As for the other colony ships... there were no real people in the hibernation cabins there!
In other words, the entire Swamp Colonial Fleet actually carried less than 10,000 Swamp People!
"See? The true situation of the Swamp Abyss Colonial Ship will soon be discovered by the Bray Civilization." Chen Fan casually threw the meatball back into the hibernation cabin, "What do you think the Bray Civilization will do?"
Amber had some enlightenment in his heart: "They will..."
"Yes." Chen Fan's eyes showed some admiration, "Baroka and Olaya are ready to take this responsibility on themselves."
"Whether they succeed or not."
"They are all heroes of the Swamp Abyss Civilization."
Amber fell into complete silence.
After a long time, he spoke again, his voice becoming more and more hoarse: "Sir Chen Fan, if possible..."
"Don't worry." Chen Fan grinned, "I will ensure their safety within my ability."
...
The starry sky outside the porthole has completely disappeared, replaced by a silver-white channel made of various high-strength materials.
The channel is spacious.
According to the measurement data provided by Yi, this channel can even allow a conventional rocky planet to pass through, and the four-pointed star fleet is naturally no problem.
More than ten minutes later, under the leadership of the four-pointed star fleet, all the Swamp Abyss Colonial Ships went deep into the [Turbine].
Inside the 001 colony ship, more than 9,000 Swamp Abyss people also woke up. They put on the corresponding life support equipment and stood silently in front of the colony ship's hatch that was about to open.
Boom...
A slight tremor came from the deck under their feet.
The colony ship stopped on the ship landing pad inside the [Turbine].
The tremor did not weaken at all, and it was even getting stronger.
The tightly closed colony ship hatch slowly opened, and the interior scene of the [Turbine] was completely presented to Chen Fan and others.
This is an extremely vast, closed ecosystem made of steel!
Huge mountains made of steel, comparable to asteroids, quietly suspended in the air, and soft light from unknown sources illuminated the entire cavity. Various giant automated machines were running everywhere on the ground...
Compared with those giant steel mountains suspended in the air, the colony ships of the Swamp Abyss civilization were like inconspicuous toy cars, and could only quietly dock on the flat ground made of strong interaction materials.
Chen Fan and the two assistants did not feel much about the scenery in front of them, after all, they had seen the giant structures of the Human Alliance.
But for the people of the Numa, this scene was still a little too shocking.
For a moment, more than 9,000 Numa's giant salamanders could not help but exclaim in surprise.
In front of them, several minelayers were waiting nonchalantly for the hatch to open completely. Hearing the exclamations suppressed by the life-support device, these minelayers immediately showed contemptuous smiles on their faces.
Suddenly, a high-pitched scream came from the 002 colonial ship next door.
"Something happened!!!"
"Commander Yaqi, someone...someone is dead!!"
