Star Fleet: Age of Lords.

Chapter 72 Exploration Begins

Xiang Rong brought Feng Mo and Chu Yunjian to a villa and said to them again:

"Don't complain about the bad environment. This villa is already the best place here. I won't disturb you two. Have a good rest."

Xiang Rong left after he finished speaking. Feng Mo looked at Chu Yunjian who was standing beside him and found that there was a strange blush on her face at this moment.

I couldn't help but tease her, "Let's go, Miss Chu, let's meet your lover tonight."

After hearing this, Chu Yunjian rolled his eyes at Feng Mo, snorted and walked into the villa. As expected, a beautiful woman looking tsundere is also very cute.

The two walked into the villa together and stayed silent all night. Of course, nothing happened, because Feng Mo had to explore the white hole the next day and needed a good rest tonight.

The next morning, Feng Mo arrived at Starport No. 3 early and brought Hua Qin, who had been waiting for a long time, into the modified T Reindeer through the optical tweezers beam.

Inside the main control room.

"Count Fengmo, please follow the route instructions and arrive at the designated location. The white hole exploration will officially begin in one hour."

For a while, electronic business sounded in the main control room. Feng Mo ordered the crew to drive the T3 Reindeer to the designated location according to the route. This place was very close to the interstellar space of the Huiyao Galaxy.

At this time, the starship radar can accurately scan the video image of the white hole. The white hole is not large, with a diameter of about 3 km, and any slightly larger starship cannot enter.

General white holes, black holes, and wormholes are divided into five levels according to their size: micro, small, medium, large, and super large. This classification also applies to galaxies.

Anything below one thousand meters is micro, anything between one thousand and ten thousand meters is small, anything below one hundred thousand meters is medium, and anything below one million meters is large.

Those greater than or equal to one million meters are supermassive. Some supermassive black holes are even larger than galaxies, which is amazing.

This white hole is only 3 km in size and can only be considered a small white hole. According to the information provided by Chu Yunjian, the best thing this white hole produces, besides dark matter and dark energy, is seeds.

This is a special kind of interstellar seed hidden in asteroids, and the ancient tree of life of the elves is one of them.

This special interstellar seed has many benefits. After planting, the fruit can enhance human genes, or give humans certain superpowers, or turn into a plant life to help humans fight enemies, etc.

Feng Mo's exploration of the white hole this time is mainly based on dark matter raw materials and dark energy crystals. As for the special interstellar seeds, it depends on fate.

After the starship arrived at the designated location, a large number of red spots suddenly appeared on the radar video image, and when zoomed in, they turned out to be interstellar carriers.

Obviously, these are exploration fleets dispatched by the major imperial families. This kind of upper-level resources are full of barriers to ordinary people and even ordinary nobles. At least Feng Mo didn't know about it before Chu Yunjian mentioned the white hole exploration.

"Please enter the white hole in an orderly manner and explore the area around it. Kindly remind you not to try to approach the white hole, otherwise you will be responsible for any accidents that occur."

"Count Fengmo, please follow the route and explore the area around the white hole in an orderly manner."

The electronic sound rang again, and Feng Mo's radar image automatically generated an exploration route.

"The starship enters full speed mode, follows the route, and enters the range of the white hole."

At Feng Mo's command, the T3 Reindeer entered full-speed mode. Feng Mo had put a lot of effort into this modified starship. Not only was a mechanical arm installed, but a dark energy crystal was also integrated into it, which greatly released the engine power. The full-speed forward mode could reach a star speed of up to 80 knots.

This is already a very high speed for an interstellar carrier.

After the T3 Reindeer entered the vicinity of the white hole, Feng Mo could clearly feel as if he had entered the asteroid belt of the Storm Galaxy. The magnetic field fluctuated greatly and the radar was almost unusable. Fortunately, he was well prepared.

With the experience of the asteroid belt, star rangefinders and star telescopes are indispensable, and interstellar exploration can be carried out even without radar.

After entering the vicinity of the white hole, all the starships dispersed for interstellar exploration. They were surrounded by a vast dark meteorite belt, with occasional miniature asteroids emitting various lights and meteorites emitting faint light.

Feng Mo's target is these meteorites emitting faint light. These are raw materials formed by compressed dark matter and are the best materials for building T5 starships.

"The starship enters cruise mode. All the luminous raw materials can be collected by manipulating the robotic arm without having to look at the materials. They will be of great use in the future."

Unlike other starships, Feng Mo's collection style is extremely rough. As long as it is a luminous raw material or crystal, it is useful, but the size and value of the use are different.

Other starships may focus more on searching for dark matter raw materials and dark energy crystals, as well as some special interstellar seeds, but Feng Mo is different. He wants everything and lacks everything. This lack of background leads to Feng Mo's bandit character. If he doesn't pick up money when he goes out, he will lose money. This character has advantages and disadvantages, but Feng Mo thinks it is a good character at this time.

Just as Feng Mo was carrying out his long interstellar exploration, twelve strange starships came from a distant galaxy. The hulls of their ships were as black as ink, and the whole was filled with a tyrannical aura. There were creatures shaped like demons carved on the hulls.

A huge head was hung on the capital of each starship, some shaped like a bull's head, and some like a tiger's head. This fleet was discovered by the patrolling Storm Fleet as soon as it entered the Storm Galaxy.

"Warning! Unknown fleet please report their origins and crew identities within ten minutes, otherwise they will be regarded as invading a private star system and will be destroyed!"

"Warning! Unknown fleet please report your origins and crew identities within ten minutes, otherwise..."

"Warning! Unknown Fleet, please."

The Storm Fleet first intercepted it, then issued three consecutive warnings. The other party did not make any attempt to resist and cooperated very well. However, when Al received the message from the other party, his brows furrowed slightly and a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes.

Demon Galaxy!

"Siliya, you are responsible for the video communication with this demon galaxy fleet. My identity should not be revealed for the time being."

As the leader of the rebels who once rose up in the Demon Galaxy, Al's image will surely spread throughout the entire Demon Galaxy. When he was in the federal territory, Al would never take off his combat uniform and helmet, let alone now.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, I could only let Siliya conduct the video communication on my behalf.

The video was quickly connected, and the person on the other side was a minotaur with two tall pointed horns on his head. He was wearing a black combat uniform but no shoes. Instead, he had a pair of huge bull hooves.

When the Minotaur saw Siliya, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the person on the other side of the video was a wolf girl. Yes, Siliya is a combination of a werewolf and a human. She has half werewolf blood and is full of wild beauty.

"I am Captain Siliya of the Storm Fleet. Please tell me your origins. I am a minotaur from the Demon Galaxy." Siliya asked as a routine question.

“Dear Captain, I am the commander of the Demon Squad, Horal, a minotaur. I am here on the orders of the Demon Lord to ask the Storm Lord if he needs a large number of slaves.

"You know that because the Demon Galaxy has been expanding outward, we have too many slaves and we can't digest them all. And for some unknown reason, the number of slave companies in the Snow Eagle Empire has decreased a lot recently."

"That's why the Demon Lord specifically asked me to come and ask. The slaves in our Demon Galaxy are of very high quality and come in all races. You won't suffer a loss or be cheated if you buy them. Instead, you will earn money if you buy them."

El, who was in the corner behind Siliya, chuckled slightly after hearing this. This minotaur was quite interesting. At the same time, he thought that it must be because of the Bai family.

Previously, the Bai family had always been a supplier to some small slave companies. However, after being robbed by the Storm Fleet, the Bai family no longer dared to do this business, and naturally no one would take over the vacant share.

Moreover, the Star Sea Human Federation is not only in contact with the Demon Galaxy. There are many sources of slaves, and the market is highly saturated. Slave traders have a large number of slaves in their hands and will not take the initiative to purchase them.

Currently, there is no shortage of ordinary slaves in the entire federation. What is lacking are rare species, such as elves, dwarves, succubi, etc. There is also a shortage of rare talents, such as starship engineers, maintenance technicians, builders, captains, commanders, etc.

"Mr. Hollauer, I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to ask for your instructions. We will escort your fleet to the Storm Main Star. I will give you a reply after asking the lord for instructions. Okay?" Siliya said after hearing this.

"Respected Captain, Hollauer is willing to accompany you to Storm Prime. I believe this trip will be very rewarding. We can definitely become good partners."

This minotaur still remembers to promote the slaves from their Demon Galaxy, which makes Al a little confused. Has the Demon Galaxy developed to this level now? Could it be that they have conquered a large galaxy in just four or five years?
But Feng Mo is not here now, and it will take another four days to return. We need to delay this Minotaur first, and then discuss it after Feng Mo comes back. The population of the Storm Galaxy is indeed smaller now.

It is not impossible to make a temporary deal with the Demon Galaxy. Moreover, Al already has an idea in his mind, that is, he can obtain a large number of slaves without spending any star coins. Isn't this better?

Just when Al was thinking of a bad idea, Feng Mo was like a hardworking foreman, leading a group of miners to explore around the white hole.

Any luminous raw materials could not escape the grasping of the mechanical arm. A day had passed, and not even one-tenth of the one hundred hangars in the carrier were filled. The speed was really slow.

The main reason is that the starship is currently at the edge of the white hole. The raw materials here are not very large, and the quality of the collection is a bit poor. Looking at the results of the day, Feng Mo was not satisfied, so he ordered:
"Huaqin, notify all crew members to prepare nutrient solution. We will work all night and not sleep for the next three days. Drive the starship to the inner area of ​​the white hole and focus on collecting large raw materials or luminous asteroids."

"Yes!"

ps: Not all asteroids are very large, the smallest one is only three meters in diameter.
