As time went on, Fuyao obtained more and more information, and the number of expedition teams participating in the exploration also increased significantly.
However, the death toll also increased.
Using a consciousness converter is not always successful.
If the passenger dies too completely, or even the consciousness converter is destroyed, then he will die completely.
Chen An paid great attention to this and asked the research center to continuously improve the quality of the converter.
[Most of the weapons that destroy the converter are the heterogeneous cannons. If you add an energy shield to the converter, the loss rate will be reduced.]
"Then let the research center conduct research in this area. Also, continue to reduce the size of the converter; the smaller, the safer. How many people have died so far?"
[Currently, 327 explorers have died. 30% of them died due to converter damage, 50% due to converter loss in intense combat, and the rest died so completely that their consciousness energy dissipated before they could be collected.]
Chen An sighed, "Only after a large number of lives are tested can the converter be continuously improved. More deaths are expected in the future; it's unavoidable. The deceased explorers will be adequately treated, and if they have families, they will be compensated according to the rules."
[The Guild Management Department is working on this matter, please rest assured.]
The expedition team essentially belongs to the guild system, so it is not under the jurisdiction of the military.
Chen An casually called up the star map, which had completely lit up an area of 50 million kilometers. There were a large number of isomers in this area.
He had a plan in mind, but he was not in a hurry and needed to continue exploring outward.
"At least let's figure out the billion-kilometer range first. I don't want to incur greater losses."
…
Around 300 million kilometers.
The Xuanji Guild's spaceship shuttled at high speed.
Zhu Yu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up.
He immediately tensed up, gripped his sword tightly, and prepared to go out to fight.
"What enemy?"
It was Lin Xuefu who woke him up, her face pale.
She pointed to the porthole and motioned Zhu Yu to look out.
I looked up and saw that it was dark outside and there was no information.
"Then what?"
Lin Xuefu swallowed her saliva and said, "The enemy is outside."
Accompanied by the intense alarm of the spacecraft, the distance between them widened rapidly.
When the distance was far enough, Zhu Yu's scalp felt numb.
As Lin Xuefu said, the entire darkness outside is the enemy because it is too big.
"What the hell is that?"
If the spaceship is compared to an ant, the dark objects outside are tall buildings, which are so huge that they ignore them and have no reaction.
Lin Xuefu replied: "My initial guess is that it might be a satellite-level isomer. If meteorites and gas dust can be isomerized, why can't satellites be?"
These words shocked Zhu Yu, and after thinking about it, he realized that it was indeed very possible.
He went to the control panel and asked the spacecraft to provide comprehensive information.
After a while, the complete information of the big guy was displayed.
It was something similar to a star fortress, but it was made of stone instead of machinery.
[Analysis of the material and various elements shows that the prototype of this isomer is most likely a satellite of a planet]
Zhu Yu was suddenly horrified.
If satellites can be heterogeneous, what about planets and stars?
What a terrifying sight it would be if stars also had powerful isomers and moved around.
【Do you want to continue moving forward?】
Zhu Yu was silent for a long time.
He looked up into the distance. The guiding light was still dim, but it was like the light of hope, attracting him.
"We're still fully staffed, so there's no need to go back so soon. We have to explore at least a billion kilometers and keep moving forward."
Then it traveled at high speed, not fighting unless necessary, and the spacecraft acquired information along the way.
350 million kilometers.
Four hundred million kilometers.
Four hundred and fifty million kilometers.
Five hundred million kilometers.
When they reached 500 million kilometers, great fear filled the hearts of the people on the spacecraft.
Because they saw huge planetary anomalies swimming around, defending against the abyss behemoth.
If a planet is in a dead state in its orbit, it is easy to bully.
But if the planet turns into a monster, its powerful force can destroy the train. What a terrifying existence it is.
"Brother Zhu, are we still moving forward?" The voices of the people around him were trembling.
They are now walking on a tightrope. If they are hit by a planetary isomer, they will be reduced to ashes, and the converter may not be useful.
"Go on. I have a feeling it's safer at times like this. Think about it, would an elephant go after an ant?"
Zhu Yu now has a very high prestige. Once he makes a decision, everyone else will support him.
But now I don’t dare to go out to fight, and rely on spaceships to avoid it.
Fortunately, I had collected a lot of fifth-grade energy crystals before, which can provide energy for the spacecraft.
It should be mentioned that this spaceship actually does not have an energy crystal conversion circuit, but it is a transformation of a mad beast, so it can naturally convert energy crystals without the need for any equipment.
The journey after that was extremely lonely, giving people the illusion of sailing in the abyss.
In the cab, Zhu Yu sits at the operating table every day to check the information and monitor any changes outside.
Lin Xuefu would often accompany him, provide some logistical services, or help him process data.
At first, the two sat apart, at a considerable distance from each other.
Later the distance became shorter and shorter, until they were even right next to each other.
At some point, Zhu Yu mustered up the courage to grab Lin Xuefu's right hand.
The atmosphere did not change, they continued to study the materials, but their tone and eyes were different from before.
"Xuefu, go and rest. I'll do it."
"You should be resting. What if a powerful enemy appears? You'll need to deal with it. How about this? You lie on my lap for a while. Also, don't forget I only have one hand. How can I work if you hold me like this?"
