In a mysterious, dark universe.

A brown dwarf with a small mass is emitting very faint light to the surrounding area.

Compared with stars, this brown dwarf appears dull, isolated and extremely weak. Her mass is estimated to be 21 times that of Jupiter, with an average surface temperature of 2550 degrees Celsius.

Like all brown dwarfs, the lonely celestial body in front of us is also a "failed star". Because its mass is between the smallest star and the largest planet, and such a mass is not enough to ignite a nuclear fusion reaction at its core, it looks very bleak.

"Captain Yu, what should I do!?"

On a Phantom Reconnaissance Ship, a young soldier who looked fierce was asking an officer beside him.

"Continue to observe!!"

The officer waved his hand to the young soldier and said, "He was Yu Liang, a hero descendant who insisted on joining the Expeditionary Force."

"It's not easy to observe a brown dwarf in this starry sky of the universe!" Yu Liang stared at the looming celestial body in the dark universe in the distance.

This is indeed a brown dwarf that is gradually cooling. Gasy iron molecules formed by local high temperatures on the planet are condensing into liquid iron clouds and iron rain. As the temperature cools down, dark red iron rain is drizzling into the surface of this gaseous planet.

"In the several star systems 21 light years ahead, there must be an unknown cosmic civilization, and the location of this brown dwarf should be at the edge of their civilized world."

Although the Phantom Reconnaissance Fleet has been in a state of one-way communication after leaving the fleet, after monitoring along the way, they have also been convinced of the existence of the universe civilization ahead.

"Captain Yu, you must not lose your opportunity! Why not, let's rob the suspected satellite thing around the brown dwarf!" Another tiger-headed warrior turned his eyes and suggested.

"Absurd! Reckless! How to be a scout!" Yu Liang patted the young soldier's forehead with a palm.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! We don't think about it, isn't this a joke?" The fierce young warrior of the dragon spirit and tiger responded quickly.

"You all must keep in mind General Sergei's orders! Do not expose them!!" Yu Liang scolded seriously.

"I understand! This is related to the strategy of the entire expeditionary force, and we will be cautious!" The tiger-headed soldier straightened his back and replied loudly.

"This is just like this!" Yu Liang punched his chest, "Continue to monitor!!"

"yes!!"

Although the Phantom Reconnaissance Ship can shield electromagnetic wave signals, on the ground of caution, Yu Liang did not let the reconnaissance ship rashly approach the object suspected to be a satellite around the brown dwarf, but only observed it at a relatively safe distance.

In addition, reconnaissance ships can only observe this "satellite" through optical and gravitational detection equipment, because electromagnetic waves emitted by other forms of detection methods may disturb it.

Shocking the enemy!! This is not the result that Yu Liang hopes to see.

With the help of the faint light emitted by the brown dwarf and the gravitational detector, the reconnaissance ship hidden in the dark has been monitoring the instrument.

This is a strange metal instrument with a volume of about 23.5 cubic meters, a mass of 17 tons, and a shape that looks like a giant horn.

"Tsk tsk, look at that trumpet, it looks like a telescope lens!!"

"This is also a large satellite!"

"I wonder what the aliens who made this satellite looked like?"

Although the soldiers of the reconnaissance ship knew the existence of alien civilizations, this was the first time they came into contact with alien civilizations, so they couldn't hide their excitement and commented on the strange metal instrument.

The appearance and material of this "satellite" do not exceed everyone's cognition. It must be the scientific research satellite launched by the cosmic civilization in the star system ahead to this brown dwarf. Just like the Gaia's Pupil (simulated by the Earth's Pupil) launched by human civilization to the surrounding star system.

Of course, judging by the appearance of this "satellite", Yu Liang really cannot infer the other party's technological level.

Capturing this giant horn "satellite" is just a matter of easy task for the reconnaissance ship, but Yu Liang really dared not do so. God knows whether this satellite is still working. If it triggers the alertness of the civilized world ahead for a satellite, it will be really not worth the loss.

Central Command Center of Expeditionary Fleet.

"Leader! Important discovery!" Military commander Sergei walked into the office in a hurry and reported to Yuan Shichen, "The Phantom Reconnaissance Fleet found a suspected satellite in the outer space of a brown dwarf in front!"

"Brown dwarf! Suspected satellite!?" Yuan Shichen put down his work and asked, "How far is the brown dwarf from the target star of unknown universe civilization?"

"It's about 21 light years away from the unknown universe civilization! Leader, you see, it's here. When the reconnaissance ship discovered a suspected satellite, it was 11 light years away from the main body of the fleet, and the current reconnaissance ship was 6.5 light years away from the main body of the fleet."

Sergei quickly gave a demonstration to Yuan Shichen on the simulated star map.

"Are you finally reaching their sphere of influence?" Yuan Shichen paced before the star map and thought to himself.

"Leader, please ask for instructions from the front: How to deal with this suspected satellite?" Sergei asked.

Yuan Shichen did not answer immediately, but thought expressionlessly.

"Sergey, what did you think?" After about half a minute of touching, Yuan Shichen asked.

"Send more advanced warships to capture them immediately (can't send super light signals forward)! Capture them without knowing them!!" Sergei replied loudly.

"Okay, we're going together!" Yuan Shichen smiled first, then looked cautious again, "Time is tight, we will soon enter the other party's sphere of influence, and we must understand their situation as soon as possible. Although this move has certain risks, the value of the information behind it is extremely valuable!"

"It's true, I'm worried that if the other party discovers, they will be alarmed!" Sergei said slightly paradoxically.

"So the warships sent should try to do as quickly as possible!" Yuan Shichen said decisively, "It doesn't matter if it is unfortunate to be alert. Anyway, in two or three years, our huge fleet will be head-on. It's better to figure out the situation earlier. Whether to change the route or go head-on, we must make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Leader, I will now order the fleet to go to the brown dwarf and get the suspected satellite back immediately!"

"No need to get it back!" Yuan Shichen waved his hand and said, "Time is tight. The sooner you know the better the result, the better. Even if it's just a few months, it's extremely precious. Let's fly over together on the command ship!"

"Yes! I'll make arrangements now!" Sergei saluted without hesitation and quickly turned around and left.

"You go and inform Tesla and make him ready immediately and set off with me!"

After Sergei left, Yuan Shichen instructed his assistant Ye Shuchun to make corresponding preparations.

"Okay, leader! I'll make arrangements now." Ye Shuchun replied softly.
Chapter completed!
