Chapter 337: Mysterious Yellow Star
“As you can see, under the atmosphere of this planet is a whole new world.”
Yu Huicheng pointed to the thick yellow-brown clouds and said, "I sent someone to take samples and test them as soon as possible. The main components of this atmospheric storm are silicate particles of magnesium and iron. The particles are only a few millimeters in size, but the density is very high. The average mass per cubic meter exceeds four kilograms, and the visibility is less than 100 meters."
"Mafite silicate, isn't it the peridot mineral?" Xin Ji asked in surprise, "Why did it fly into the sky?"
Peridot minerals are very common on the earth, extremely heat-resistant and have high hardness. They are the most important rock-making minerals in the mantle and have extremely high reserves. They are not only common on the earth, but also on many earth-like planets. Therefore, the value of olidot minerals is very low and not very useful.
"Yes, it's peridot."
Yu Huicheng nodded and said, "Why do these silicate particles float to the atmosphere? It is not yet certain that the reason is that the military researchers speculate that it is caused by the huge and strange magnetic field of the planet. After detection, this layer of silicate particles completely wrap the entire planet, with a thickness of at least 200 kilometers. Do you know what this means?"
Xin Ji and Gao Yangshuo immediately reacted and said in unison: "Planet Shield!"
Planet shields are the highest technology of planetary defense systems. A large number of force field generators are arranged on the planets to connect them, and finally form a bubble-shaped energy shield on the planet's atmosphere to block the entire planet and resist orbital bombing and raiding of enemy fleets.
The interstellar battlefield is three-dimensional space. Without planetary shields, a planet is almost unprepared in front of the fleet, and it is difficult to resist just an orbital bombardment.
Even if you rely on the planet to fight back and eventually destroy the enemy, the planet itself will have to bear huge damage, killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred of them.
If the enemy is a little more cruel, not to win but only for destruction, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
Therefore, whether a planet has a shield has a completely different effect in war and has a profound impact on the way of fighting.
However, the planet shield is a very advanced technology, and its energy consumption is astronomical. The Federation has not yet mastered this technology completely and has only learned some simple applications. For example, Europa's ice cities, the force fields that cover the entire city are weakened planet shields, which can only maintain air and temperature and cannot withstand attacks. Some undersea cities and spacecraft shields also use similar force field technologies.
In terms of strength and scope of action, these force field shields are far from the level of planetary shields, and are several orders of magnitude different.
The Federation has forty-nine colonized planets, and the only one with planet shields is the Earth!
This planetary shield system is a finished product purchased by the Federation from the Galaxy Empire. The Federation has paid millions of vacuum crystals for this. The annual cost of maintaining this shield system is a unimaginable number for ordinary people. Occasionally, the shield is turned on for debugging, and every second consumes a huge amount of energy.
The incompetent sense of security brought to people by the planetary shield is also one of the reasons why the earth is so large, not just because the earth is the parent planet of human beings.
In fact, the planet's atmosphere itself is a natural shield. Air particles have various reflection phenomena such as refraction, diffusion, and scattering on light, which weakens the energy level of laser weapons, shortens the range, and weakens the power, but the effect is not very ideal.
But the silicate clouds of this planet are different, and the protection effect is comparable to that of the planet's shield, and even stronger!
Gao Yangshuo said in a sensation: "The two hundred kilometers thick clouds of silicate particles may not be able to penetrate the main guns of the Federal Warship!"
"It's not possible, but certain." Yu Huicheng corrected: "I asked a planetary battleship to try it. The main gun fired at full power, and it can only hit half the depth at most, and it will be restored in more than ten seconds."
"This is even more powerful than the planet shield." Xin Ji sighed.
There are not a few planetary battleships in the Federation. The power of the main gun is enough to destroy everything within ten thousand meters if it hits the ground, but it cannot penetrate this strange cloud. Moreover, the recovery speed is so fast that it is far beyond the charging gap of the main gun.
It seems that without a whole fleet of volleys, it is unlikely to break it.
"Yes, it is a natural planetary shield." Yu Huicheng said slowly: "It's a pity that this shield is not controlled, and there are still unknown forces hidden inside, destroying all invading enemies."
Xin Ji recalled the video he had just seen and asked, "General Yu, haven't found out what that is yet?"
"Not yet." Yu Huicheng's face looked a little serious and replied: "Since the discovery of this planet, we have been conducting tentative investigations. We can only roughly judge that this may be a pure energy life, with a small number, but each one is very powerful. They can control the power of the clouds, invisible and invisible, and survive in a form that we cannot understand."
"This kind of unknown life is not free from water. They move extremely fast in the clouds, but they are not everywhere. There are always loopholes to drill."
Yu Huicheng said: "We used the method of striking east and attacking west to send the Sky Sword Team to sneak into the clouds and reach the surface of the planet. We found that this natural shield can shield electromagnetic signals and only send back sporadic images and data."
He said that and displayed the image data.
A photo of incomplete shot is very high, there is no sun in the sky but it is very bright, with golden dome clouds above the head, and an endless green forest below, with endless mountains and lakes dotted in the distance. There are many strange creatures vaguely moving on this land, giving people an infinite sense of vitality.
This is a typical ecological planet. As long as the air components are non-toxic and have a small amount of oxygen, it is almost impossible to transform and allow humans to colonize and live in!
There is another photo that opens the eyes of Xin Ji and Gao Yangshuo.
This should have been photographed after landing on the ground. On the horizon in the distance, a huge mountain floated in the air, thousands of meters above the ground, floating on the sea like an iceberg. The peaks were covered with plants, and waterfalls flowed down, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.
Data shows that this mountain floated above the sky because it contained an unknown normal temperature superconductor, forming a magnetic field vortex effect repelling the planet.
In addition, the basic data of this planet is also listed.
The average surface temperature is around 18 degrees Celsius, the gravity is three times that of the earth, and the air pressure is five times that of the earth. The air composition is very complex but the overall non-toxic. The oxygen content is around 13%. Although it is not high, it is enough to maintain human breathing and circulation needs. Ordinary people may feel a little suffocating and difficult to adapt. If it is a Force Warrior, it will be less of a problem.
"This is a super earth-like planet!" Xin Ji said in admiration.
Super Earth-like planets are also called super Earth. The geological structure and environment are relatively similar to those of the Earth. They are in a habitable zone, with suitable temperatures and can nurture life.
This kind of planet is very rare in the universe. There are 49 colonized planets in the Federation, including those with extremely superior natural environments, such as Yiling Star and Senyu Star; there are also huge sizes, but the environment is harsh and requires long-term transformation to colonize. For example, Baidi Star, but none of them can be called a super earth.
Even the Earth, the home planet of humans, may not be as natural as this planet!
"That's right, its diameter is 30,000 kilometers, and its surface area is 3 billion square kilometers, six times that of the earth. It can inhabit at least 300 billion citizens." Yu Huicheng introduced, with a strong belief flashing in his eyes: "So we must win this planet, we must occupy it and become the 50th colonized planet of the Federation!"
He looked at the photo of the golden clouds covered in the sky and said solemnly: "This matter has been reported to the Federal President. According to the color of the clouds of the planet, it was named Xuanhuangxing."
"Xuanhuangxing!"
Xin Ji nodded slightly, and could imagine how crazy it would be after receiving the news from the upper level of the federal government.
A super-earth planet, completely suitable for colonization, can accommodate hundreds of billions of citizens, has a powerful natural shield, and is on the border between the Federation and the Steel Berry Empire. If you lose it, you will be the sinner of the race.
Once successfully occupied, Xuanhuang Star will become a bridgehead for war between the Federation and the Steel Berry Empire, which is equivalent to building a solid fortress under the nose of the Steel Berry Empire, with its immeasurable effect!
If you take a step back, even if you cannot occupy the Xuanhuang Star, you cannot let the Steel Berry Empire succeed.
Gao Yangshuo's eyes were full of excitement, but he thought of a key point and asked quickly: "General, has the fleet of the Steel Berry Empire transmitted the information of Xuan Huangxing back?"
Yu Huicheng nodded heavily and said regretfully: "When we discovered Xuanhuang Star, we wiped out the remaining two warships at all costs, but we were still one step late. They had sent the news back to the Steel Berry Empire." His face looked very bad, "Just half a month ago, another squadron of the Steel Berry Empire arrived at the Xuanhuang Galaxy, with its strength comparable to ours and occupied the interstellar space on the other side of Xuanhuang Star."
"At present, we are in a confrontation with the enemy. We can neither occupy Xuanhuang Star nor restrain each other. We will do our best to prevent the personnel sent by the other party from sneaking into Xuanhuang Star. It depends on who can make a breakthrough first."
"What breakthrough?" Gao Yangshuo asked afterwards.
Yu Huicheng glanced at Xin Ji and said, "According to the news from our battle group, the unknown pure energy life not only contains them in the clouds, but also has their traces on the surface of Xuanhuang Star. Its strength is terrifying and difficult to eliminate. They are the supreme rulers of this planet."
"No matter who wants to occupy Xuanhuang Star, they cannot avoid these powerful pure energy lives. The violent means have little effect. We need to communicate with them."
"But pure energy life is completely different from our carbon-based humans. We cannot even understand their way of existence, there is no language to translate, and we cannot even find their original body. We do not even have the opportunity to sit down and negotiate, and we cannot start."
Speaking of this, Yu Huicheng's eyes fell on Xin Ji and said sincerely: "Xin Ji, that's why I came to you. I hope you can contribute to the Federation."
Xin Ji was shocked and vaguely guessed the Genyu behind him, but asked quietly on his face: "General Yu, I don't understand what you mean."
"Hehe..." Yu Huicheng laughed, and was about to speak, but he saw Gao Yangshuo curious and said, "Yangshuo, you shouldn't know what's next, you hang up first."
Gao Yangshuo's expression was stagnant, but he did not dare to disobey, so he could only cut off the communication signal in depression.
There was only Xin Ji left during the call, and Yu Huicheng said: "Xin Ji, I just said that I wanted to meet you for a long time, but it was not empty talk. In fact, I have been following you for a long time and know that you should have a very strange ability, good at searching for targets and communicating with spirit."
Xin Ji was silent, his mind changed rapidly. It turned out that someone in the Federation had known about the existence of telepathy.
However, Yu Huicheng's understanding of telepathy should be just the basics, and his ability to telepathy is far more than search and communication. Of course, Xin Ji would not take the initiative to speak out.
"How did General Yu know?" Xin Ji asked curiously.
Yu Huicheng immediately showed joy. Xin Ji said this as if he admitted that he had this ability, so he would have a greater confidence in occupying Xuanhuang Star.
He smiled and replied, "I had a friend who looked very much like you a long time ago."
