"Boss, you'd better look at this." Ruan Peng's communication directly reached Ye Fei's ears.

"What's the situation?" Ye Fei asked in surprise.

The reduction in the number of personnel required by warships is exciting news for the senior military leaders, but it may not be the case for ordinary captains. The most troublesome thing is that everyone performs their own duties and has no way to start when they need to temporarily draw personnel.

Although Ye Fei added some of the personnel before leading the fleet, and the main work after arriving in Betelgeuse was completed by robots, no matter how hard the robots endure, they are not mechanical civilizations that have long known where to go. Even if they strictly follow the procedures, humans still need to control and supervise them.

Ye Fei had no extra staff at all, so he had no choice but to leave the new and unfamiliar people on the warship. Ruan Peng was responsible for the smelting lead shell factory under his arrangement; Xia Zhuoyan was responsible for the robot lead shell factory, and even Yi Qi, who only entered the Xinyuan a few days earlier than others, was responsible for a lead shell factory for producing spacecraft.

He said he was responsible, but there was not much actual work that needed them to do. Ye Fei couldn't figure out what went wrong with Ruan Peng, so he actually needed to see it himself.

Ruan Peng's news also made the others in the bridge prick up their ears, especially Ji Xiaotong.

The few people who have arranged new positions do not have to keep an eye on the bridge. Ji Xiaotong was depressed for many days because he couldn't see Yi Qi. Moreover, because his emotional fluctuations have been relatively large recently, Ye Fei felt that he was not very steady, so he did not receive heavy use from Captain Ye. He was the only one of the four bridge officers of the Xinyuan who still stayed in the bridge to survive.

If Ye Fei had not arranged Yi Qi to the shipbuilding factory, Ji Xiaotong would never have any ideas, but after comparing, he suddenly felt that his future was dark.

Ruan Peng, who got the answer, immediately shared an instant perspective with Ye Fei.

The light on the picture is a little dim, and you can vaguely see the background of a large group of robots busy back and forth. In the middle of the picture, there are three round stone balls with basically the same height, basically the same shape, and basically the same color.

"What is this?" Ye Fei was slightly expectant, "Have you discovered a new super heavy element?"

"I don't know what this thing is," Ruan Peng said dullly, "I sent me the first one this morning. The robot in charge of sorting ores threw it out at that time. It's almost noon now. I haven't figured out what this thing is. I didn't expect that the mining ship sent two at once."

Ye Fei, who was originally just curious, finally became a little interested when he heard this: "What's special about this thing?"

Compared with the robots busy around the stone ball, you can easily determine the height of the stone ball, that is, the diameter is about seven to eight meters.

Distinguishing various materials is one of the most basic functions of engineering robots. All the material characteristics known to humans are stored in it. Although engineering robots do not understand what thinking is, they can control programs to help them distinguish what is of high value. What is of low value and what is of no value.

These three big stone balls look inconspicuous, but the robot sent three back in a row to illustrate the problem.

"In addition to what you can see, I also weighed their mass. The difference between the three stone balls is no more than 30 kilograms. It doesn't seem to be formed naturally, but rather it seems to be carved on purpose." Ruan Peng said.

"Didn't analyze the composition of the stone ball?" Ye Xin asked with satisfaction and confusion.

"Analysis, the main ingredient is carbon, but..." Ruan Peng's expression seemed to see a sow climbing a tree, "But the hardness of this thing is higher than that of diamonds. I think it is likely to be a carbon allotrope... an allotrope that no one has ever discovered before."

There must be many substances in the universe that are harder than diamonds, but so far, only the light blue crystals among the four superheavy elements have higher hardness than diamonds. Unfortunately, the Republic has never found the use of blue crystals.

"Is it just a gem?" Ye Fei was a little surprised.

"I hope not." Ruan Peng said.

"What you mean by reporting this to me is..."

"I want to go to the scene to see it with my own eyes and figure out what this thing is." Ruan Peng finally expressed his purpose.

Although he is responsible for the smelting factory, all the work is completed through remote control. He does not need to go to the lead shell factory at all. He can complete all the work by lying in the dormitory.

"No." Ye Fei refused without thinking, "The combat armor can't stop such strong radiation outside the ship. Stay honestly!"

The combat armor is OK to deal with space radiation under normal circumstances. In a real high-radiation environment, how can that thin layer of armor resist? I am afraid that before Ruan Pengfei entered the lead shell factory, he was roasted into a human being by strong radiation.

"Boss, we have built so many robots, it is not difficult to build a set of radiation-resistant armor..." Ruan Peng begged.

"If you don't, it's not possible." Ye Fei did not compromise at all. "Stay in the warship, no matter how you do, you will definitely not be able to launch the ship!"

If we could ship, could Professor Xie and his team stay in the battleship honestly?

Radiation-resistant armor cannot be made, but it is absolutely not technically difficult to build a set of mechas that are about the size of a construction robot. But after it was made, what should we do if Professor Xie asked to take the mecha to ship?

This hole cannot be opened!

More importantly, Ye Fei knew that Ruan Peng didn't know anything about smelting and materials science. He thought of looking at the lead shell factory, and he might have the purpose.

Ye Fei's resolute refusal made Ruan Peng feel pain in his face. Suddenly, the expression on his face froze as if he had pressed the pause button, and then he showed a look of astonishment: "Boss, the outer shell of the stone ball has just been cut open and found that the internal components of the three balls not only contain carbon, but also hydrogen and oxygen. It seems... it should... be an organic substance!"

"Organic?" Ye Fei's face almost turned into a mess, "Are you kidding?"

The supernova explosion has only been over 200 years, and the space environment is sometimes good and sometimes bad. He doesn’t find anything strange to find in this ghost place of Betelgeuse, but organic matter... Can this thing be synthesized by a supernova explosion?

Even if there were originally ecological planets here, the creatures on the planet were quite powerful. But can the most powerful creatures fight against the super high temperature in tens of thousands of degrees when the supernova explodes?
