Through the faint reflection of starlight, a telescope captured a faint bright spot in the vacuum.
Tomcat was very sensitive to the new light spot!
He immediately adjusted the eight binoculars on the spaceship and aimed at the light spot at the same time.
"Let's enlarge it!" When Zhao Xiaofeng heard Tomcat's words, he walked over to the control panel.
Zhao Xiaofeng knew that it was not as simple as an asteroid.
Tomcat wasn't an AI that liked to make a fuss. Their several hundred years of interstellar exploration had proven this point.
The collected data was quickly analyzed by the central processing center on the spaceship.
The data showed that the light spot came from an irregularly shaped asteroid about 1700 meters in diameter about 13 million kilometers away.
Its specific elemental composition was too far away to be analyzed for the time being.
However, its surface had an extremely high reflection.
This indicated that the surface of the asteroid might be surrounded by ice.
The temperature in space was very low, usually around-270 degrees.
Except for the sun-facing side near the orbit of a star, the matter in space could not be liquid or gaseous.
Tomcat exclaimed because, through high-powered binoculars, the asteroid carried an object that seemed to be made of man-made metal.
For Galaxy, this was a major discovery!
The metal object on the asteroid might have been left behind by the Human Alliance!
Because there was only the Human Alliance in the Milky Way!
After obtaining it and further analyzing the material, it was very likely that he would obtain some clues about the sudden disappearance of the Human Alliance!
Therefore, after some calculations, Zhao Xiaofeng decided to capture this asteroid!
Even if it consumed some precious fuel.
Even if he couldn't capture the asteroid, he had to find a way to capture the metal object.
However, Galaxy was moving at high speed, so it was not easy to capture this asteroid. Moreover, this asteroid was too big!
Therefore, Zhao Xiaofeng decided to use the spaceship's main cannon to destroy the asteroid!
The middle part of the Starry Sea slowly opened, and a 10 meter diameter cannon-shaped object slowly poked its head out.
With six large optical telescopes as eyes, they began to lock onto the irregular asteroid's trajectory and position.
Tomcat used the data as a basis to continuously adjust the angle of the cannon until it locked onto the irregular asteroid.
"Captain, everything is ready. Requesting minimum energy launch!”
"Fire!" Zhao Xiaofeng ordered.
Galaxy's backup nuclear fusion engine started working.
After the high-temperature reaction of more than 50 million degrees and the high pressure of 10,000 Pa inside the nuclear fusion engine, the light atoms such as helium-3 and helium-3 in the nuclear fusion fuel underwent a nuclear condensation and became heavy atomic helium. At the same time, it produced a huge amount of energy.
Through the energy transmission device, it was transmitted to the main cannon activation device of Galaxy.
If one looked from the outside, they would see a dazzling white light bursting out from the main cannon of Galaxy.
After about 46 seconds, the energy ball fired by the main cannon would shatter the irregular asteroid without any suspense.
After the energy cannon was fired, another hole opened in the cabin of the Galaxy, and a cylindrical object was shot out.
After flying for some distance, the thing activated the launch device and opened up like an umbrella.
It was a huge umbrella!
There was a huge metal net on the umbrella!
There was a small engine installed on the handle of the umbrella. He could change the orbit and adjust the distance according to the orders issued by the spacecraft within a range of 100 million kilometers.
Under the propulsion of the small engine, the trap also flew towards the irregular asteroid.
Zhao Xiaofeng had launched ten of these mini planet-capturing devices in one go. He was determined to capture any metal objects on the asteroids.
After calculation, even though the asteroid's speed difference with the trap might reach 300 km/s, the trap's metal net was very strong and reliable!
At the same time, the traps had their own power. They could return to the Star Voyage and bring those things back to the spaceship.
The whole process lasted for half an hour without any accidents!
Just as the program's database had predicted, the energy cannon first shattered the asteroid. Following that, the capture device began to encircle and capture the metallic object under Tomcat's precise control. Finally, it successfully returned to the spacecraft's warehouse.
After the robots in the warehouse sorted the objects, they quickly carried the metal objects and some debris of the asteroids to Zhao Xiaofeng in the main cockpit.
