The fleet led by Fang Zheng set off silently.

Although the expedition was a very important matter, Fang Zheng did not want to cause any instability or chaos in the Tiandao Palace. Although introducing Red Ponytail made Fang Zheng feel like it was a "public execution", no matter what... well, at this time, face was the least important thing.

The scale of the Tiandao Palace's deployment this time was comparable to the previous battle against the Reapers. Among the three Protoss Arks, Fang Zheng only left the Memory of Nessin. The Spear of Adun and the Pride of Otalis joined the expedition as the main battleships. In addition, there were a total of 18 full-strength Titan fleets, including Titan battleships of the Archangel class, Leviathan class, Orobas class and Ragnarok class, and thousands of battleships and aircraft carrier formations, plus a huge fleet including destroyers, logistics ships, industrial-class ships and transport ships...

This does not include the swarm of insects at the rear...

Well, to be honest, with this formation, let alone attacking a planet, it would be no problem to use it directly in Star Wars to fight against the Rebels.

Not only that, this time the free world led by Fang Zheng also contributed. For example, in the Fire Mist World, Shana also joined with a team of new Fire Mist Warriors. According to Shana, it was to let these Fire Mist Warriors "see the world." In the world of magical girls, although Nanoha, Sakura and Tomoyo were responsible for staying behind, Mami Tomoe and Anko Sakura also joined this interstellar journey with a group of magical girls from their world.

In the mecha world, the Chinese Federation also provided a large number of personnel to assist Fang Zheng, and the VF fighter team led by Anya, Ayanami Rei and Asuka also joined the expedition. Because of Fang Zheng's efforts, the technology tree in the mecha world that was originally biased towards the grandmother's house was finally pulled back. Now many people have given up Gundam and started to operate VF fighters. This time, there are also many famous Gundam pilots in the VF team as support.

For example, pilots such as Aina Sakhalin, Haman Kahn, Lunamaria and Stella have joined.

By the way, among this group of drivers there is a girl named "Nina Trinity" who has the same voice as Shana. And I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but she was assigned to the vampire. As a result, Shana was very angry. She would go over to confront the two of them at any time. You could hear all kinds of "Baga perverted nonsense" on the vampire all day long... It was hard to tell who was talking.

Asuna Eriri and Kuroneko finally came along. According to Eriri, "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog." They were already Fang Zheng's people, so they had to follow him no matter what. As for their families, they had also taken care of everything. Even Kuroneko left some money to avoid not being able to take care of his family in case of an accident.

By the way, in addition to them, Sophie also found Fang Zheng and asked to join the expedition. According to Sophie, she wanted to go to the universe to have a look. Moreover, the universe is so dark and there is no sun. She can also help Fang Zheng carry a steamroller or something...

Then, of course, he was pushed back by Fang Zheng.

You deadbeat vampire, don't come join in the fun. Do you think this place isn't chaotic enough?

However, the joining of several people was still beyond Fang Zheng's expectations.

That is the third coordinate point.

Fang Zheng was going on an expedition, so he naturally had to go back and tell everyone about it. Everyone was surprised that Fang Zheng was going to be away for a while, but there was nothing they could say.

Firut and Emilia have already started competing in the royal election. Because of their previous actions among the people, their reputation among the people is very high, but on the contrary, it is very poor among the nobles. Although Crusch is mediating, the two sides are still somewhat incompatible.

Not only that, Firut also secretly asked Fang Zheng to borrow a copy of "On Guerrilla Warfare" and "On Protracted War". As for what she was going to do with these... well, Fang Zheng thought he should not ask.

I always feel like nothing good will happen.

Frenda and Riko wanted to go with Fang Zheng because the things they did in Academy City were too big and they were wanted worldwide. They were already on the SSS-level blacklist of the Butei. Without Fang Zheng's protection, the two of them dared not mess around, so Riko grabbed Fang Zheng and acted like a spoiled child all night, using all her tricks and unlocking many complicated postures, and only then did Fang Zheng agree to her request.

Of course, Fang Zheng didn't agree just because of Riko's "unlocking posture". This time they were going to a world outside of order, so Fang Zheng had to make some preparations. There might be some places that people born in a completely orderly world couldn't go to, but people like Riko who were born in an orderly world polluted by chaos might be able to go. So to be on the safe side, it wasn't a big deal to bring Riko and Flanda with him.

Not only Riko and Flanda, but Fili in the wasteland world also joined in. Her attitude was that she wanted to go out and see the world and learn about the work of the Tiandao Palace. Fang Zheng certainly would not refuse this.

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko also joined in, but Saten Ruiko stayed. After all, she is now the "master of the harem", and she has two useless people, Rei and Index, to support at home, so naturally she couldn't join in.

In addition to them, Fang Zheng also captured another person... Well, let's not talk about this for now.

All in all, after this, Fang Zheng's expeditionary force was completely formed, and the next step was naturally to set off directly to the outer star sea.

However, actually expedition in the sea of ​​stars is not an easy task.

It's like a primitive man exploring in a primeval forest, holding a spear in one hand and a stone axe in the other, while being alert to the wild beasts that may be hiding in the grass, and searching for the prey he wants to catch.

This is a process of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

The same goes for Fang Zheng's fleet. The first thing such a large expeditionary force needs to do is to hide itself in the infinite sea of ​​stars and not conduct long-distance communication with the outside world, just like a submarine hidden in the deep sea and maintaining radio silence. Because even the most advanced quantum communication can only play the role of "communication confidentiality" but cannot hide itself.

The most you can do is discover someone is eavesdropping when you are being eavesdropped on.

However, for the other party, whether or not they can eavesdrop on the secret is not important. What is important is that as long as they are sure that there is something there, then they have succeeded.

It’s like the sound of a dry branch “crackling” in a primeval forest. Maybe you don’t know whether it was a tiger or a rabbit that stepped on the branch, but at least you know there is something there.

And it still moves.

Needless to say, for Fang Zheng, the current problem is even more serious.

"How long?"

Looking at the light flying through the porthole, Fang Zheng asked in a low voice. Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Iona, who was sitting at the table next to Fang Zheng, slightly widened her eyes.

"Fifteen minutes and thirty seconds left."

"Very good, pass the order down, the fleet is on level one alert."

"clear."

After issuing the order, Fang Zheng opened the terminal and looked at the pattern on the star map in front of him with a solemn expression.

Fang Zheng couldn't help but look solemn. In fact, when he was confirming the situation earlier, Fang Zheng was surprised to find a problem.

That means something is wrong with the star map.

To put it simply, a brand new star field appeared in the star map where there should have been a blank space. More importantly, when Fang Zheng asked Nymph and even the Goddesses of Order, they all said that this star field had always existed on the star map.

But Fang Zheng was sure that this star field definitely did not exist before! In order to repair the order node, he had almost torn this star map to pieces. If there was a star field so close to the Clover Star Field, Fang Zheng would definitely not let it go!

The world has changed.

Although there was no evidence, Fang Zheng was certain that the appearance of this star field should have something to do with the conversations he had with the Goddess of Order in his memories. Because it was after that that Fang Zheng received the system's prompt, and the timeline was changed. As a time dragon, Fang Zheng was free from time and was therefore not affected.

But others obviously don't have this ability.

So Fang Zheng made a prompt decision and chose this new star field as his first stop, wanting to see what was hidden here.

In other words, what did the Goddess of Order do after talking to her past self?

At this moment, the light in front of the porthole became more and more dazzling. The next moment, the scenery in the distance began to tremble, and then quickly changed from movement to stillness, and soon turned into tiny stars.

"Activate the probes, immediately conduct a reconnaissance of the surroundings, and enable communication data protection."

Fang Zheng had already made preparations, and immediately gave orders. Soon, one scientific research ship after another released probes in all directions, launched them, and began to explore the surrounding situation. Not long after, just like the fog in a strategic game being cleared, the originally dark star field gradually emerged in front of Fang Zheng's eyes.

"No signs of life."

"No special signal."

“The volatility is normal.”

Soon, reports came one after another, making everyone feel relieved. However, Fang Zheng did not relax his vigilance. He sat on the chair, staring at the screen in front of him, watching the star field gradually expand... Then, Fang Zheng immediately found that on one of the surfaces, a series of light spots reflected waves emerged.

At the same time, tense reports came from the front.

"Electromagnetic radiation discovered!"

"It's definitely a man-made object!"

"Send out the drones and figure out what that thing is!"

At this moment Fang Zheng also stood up and gave the order decisively.

It seems that he really gained something this time!
