Him and their stars.

Chapter 747 People have to push themselves

Facts have proved that the Blizzard is worthy of being the most cutting-edge Clear Sky-class battleship, and after excluding the supreme commander, the level of the crew on it is indeed the elite of the empire, and naturally it is also the top in the universe.Under the siege of the gorgeous crystal storm that covered the sky and the sun, this "thin" cruiser seemed to be swallowed by these crystals at any time, but she always soared in the sky, proud like a phoenix.

The continuous line of fire pierced into the crystal dust like an arrow, causing explosions one after another, adding another layer of flame color to the colorful crystal storm.

The crew on the Blizzard may not have encountered such an enemy, and now they are so focused on evacuating that they almost forgot the fact that although the scene is dangerous, the ship has not been injured yet.

So steady for a cruiser, let alone a Dreadnought like the Throne.In any case, even a half blood Dreadnought with halved firepower is still Dreadnought!
In fact, Yu Lian has always known that the biggest threat of space crystal swarms to battleships is the ultra-long-distance impact of themselves transformed into giant orbital shells.But this kind of attack, like the ultimate move of psykers, actually requires a certain amount of reading time and acceleration space.If you suddenly rush into close range, you will deprive them of their most powerful weapon.

Of course, this kind of "creature" can also use the crystal body as a medium to absorb space radiation for energy conversion and launch electric charge attacks at medium and short distances, but in terms of power, it is far inferior to the third level of the dreadnought's side Naturally, it is impossible to pose a threat to the armor and shield of the dreadnought ship.

As a result, the Throne drove a much larger body than that of the Blizzard, wrapped in a thick energy shield, and crashed into the scattered formation of the crystal swarm. At first glance, it looked like a whale crashed into the shore. in the beach.

The moment the Throne suddenly accelerated and slammed into the crystal group, although they were trying to disperse, the overall appearance became more chaotic, like a group of wild animals that were stunned by fright.At least three-digit size crystals were attracted by the mass of the Throne, smashing into the shield and smashing to pieces.

Up to now, Yu Lian is still not sure whether these crystals are life, but he is sure that these are definitely not automatic weapons, and they do not have the calm, efficient and meticulous feeling of robots at all.

"Close to the anti-aircraft guns on both sides, fire at will." Yu Lian said.

With enemies on all sides, the gunner must be very satisfied.

In this way, the Scarlet Throne pierced through the crystal group more easily than a lion through a herd of sheep.

And it wasn't until this time that these crystals, which were suspected to be "space predators", finally regained their wild animal state of mind, and scattered to every corner of the entire galaxy, clearly fleeing in all directions.

Although Yu Lian also considered whether to find a chance to capture a few intact crystals and take them back, this thing requires more professional equipment and manpower from the arrest and detention.Moreover, running away in all directions like this, he really had no way of chasing them, so he continued to advance towards the transition channel leading to the Tree Shepherd A galaxy according to the original plan.Before entering the leap channel, he hadn't forgotten to send a message to the Blizzard over there, "Let's split up and see who can find the whereabouts of the main force of the predator first, it will be the continuation of the God of War Festival".

It's a pity that such a message that requires martial virtues and a sense of ritual has not received a response from the other party.

Well, there are several standard astronomical units between the two ships, and this is not the local galaxy with source matter waves. There is a delay in communication, which is of course very reasonable.

In this way, the Scarlet Throne officially arrived in the Shepherd A galaxy at 1:15 am on January 10th, the cruise standard time.

Just as Yu Lian guessed, this remote galaxy located at the end node of the known star road is indeed composed of an atypical pulsar as its core.

The reason why it is a pulsar is that it already has the characteristic of continuously ejecting electromagnetic pulses. The halos seeping out from both ends of the star point to the depths of the void like the fireworks released by the gods, as if they can tear the universe apart.

The reason why it is atypical is that the electromagnetic pulse it releases at least does not have too much influence on the dreadnought's instruments.The impact on the mass of the star is not too great, at least it can form a galaxy with a stable structure and a large-capacity transition channel.

Of course, such a galaxy is doomed to be impossible to produce habitable planets, and there are not even any terrestrial planets that can be reformed.

The little partner on the ship discovered an automatic detection beacon, which is a facility for automatically collecting star data and local galaxy constants, and it is placed 2 standard astronomical units away from the pulsar body.The equipment can be seen as a product of the empire at a glance, but unfortunately it has not been maintained for many years, and it is basically scrapped.

That's right, no matter how conscientious a worker is, he wouldn't be happy to work in this ghostly place.What's more, compared with the mainland of the galaxy, the management level of the colonies in the New World is always lower.In this regard, all countries with governors' mansions and colonies in the New World are a virtue.

The friends on the ship have already returned to their combat readiness positions, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

The formation led by the Empire's Saber-toothed Tiger cruiser was attacked here.Thinking about it now, they are very likely to be attacked by those space crystals.But although those unknown crystal monsters were defeated, it doesn't mean that this galaxy is safe.Maybe the fleet of predators is hiding in that shadowy corner of the galaxy and is stalking us stealthily.

Yu Lian closed his eyes, and sensed the constant of the universe from the perspective of psionic energy.As a wall hanging with the ability of "space intuition" and fused with the pineal gland of ether, his current perception ability is definitely not under the "exploration" of the same ring number.

In addition to the ability to recognize space beyond the understanding of ordinary people, of course it also includes the mysterious sensory ability to predict potential dangers, which is the legendary "I have an ominous premonition about this".

This ability is actually similar to the predictive ability of psykers during exploration and battle, but it has a wider range.

In short, on battleships and exploration ships, the navigator's job includes not only the humanoid shipping computer, but also the "metaphysical radar" function to predict danger.But now, Yu Lian's radar is telling himself that everyone should be safe now, and there is currently no enemy threatening us in this galaxy.

Even so, he was not prepared to let his comrades stop their vigilance.

On the one hand, it is because the so-called "metaphysical radar" has the possibility of overturning. In history, there have been cases where high-ranking psykers who were commanders-in-chief of the entire army were too superstitious about their own premonitions of crisis and brought the entire army into the pit. .The most typical example is that in the Fifth Galactic War, the Second Guard Fleet of the Empire was pitted in the Battle of the Daga Star Field, causing the contemporary Queen Megana to lose her composure in court and shout "Pulius, replace me Admiral Pulius of the Fleet.

But even with such a painful lesson learned from the past, the high-ranking psykers who assumed leadership positions were still brimming with insurmountable arrogance.Yu Lian felt that he could not learn from them no matter what.

More importantly, as a materialist, we should learn to believe in science.When there is a conflict between science and metaphysics, we must put scientific cognition first.

On the other hand, there is one thing to say, for soldiers, the state of combat readiness is actually the time when their experience points grow the fastest.It doesn't matter to the mercenaries, but it is very important to the Naval Academy sent by Toss.Yu Lian felt that since he had signed a large education and training contract, he should have some spirit of contract.

No, just because everyone has been maintaining a high degree of tension and concentration, a naval cadet from Toss quickly discovered some subtle energy residual signals on the galaxy scan map, and hurriedly reported to the bridge.

The Throne continued to maintain a vigilant cruising posture, approached the signal direction at a constant speed, and soon included the source of the signal within the detection range of the external camera.As a result, everyone on the bridge soon saw a large piece of broken ship wreckage floating in space.

"It should be the battlefield where the Saber-Toothed Tiger encountered the enemy." Feifei said.

Yu Lian agrees with Feifei.Although these space floating objects are all torn and broken hull fragments, they can still be seen in the style of the empire.

Sure enough, on one of the armor fragments on the side of the ship, there was a fairly complete hull number and ship badge, which was the Saber-toothed Tiger that sent out the distress signal three days ago.

In addition, Yu Lian also saw crystal fragments floating in space around him.Under the cover of shipwrecks, they are naturally even more inconspicuous.

It seems that these imperial battleships were indeed attacked by space crystals, but it is impossible to determine whether there were other enemies present at that time.

Later, everyone determined that besides the saber-toothed tiger cruiser, the wreckage of the destroyer Blade 121 and the assault ship Corona 732 were destroyed at the scene.

This reconnaissance fleet that originally belonged to the Imperial Governor's Mansion, except for the Apocalypse Eagle destroyer that escaped to the Hailing α galaxy, was all killed here.

Out of humanitarian considerations, the Scarlet Throne, while continuing to maintain vigilance, stopped near the place where the large wreckage gathered, began to conduct life response detection, and sent an automatic call signal.At the same time, some mercenaries with experience in search and rescue were led to drive a small traffic boat into it to search.

Yu Lian felt that although everyone's search and rescue operations were not top-notch, they were at least dedicated.Sadly, after several hours of searching, many corpses that had completely stiffened were found, but no living people were found.

Of course, fortunately, someone finally found a fairly complete video of the ship's data terminal from the destroyer Blade, and after some unprofessional restoration of the internal data, he finally got a video of less than Three minutes and the picture quality is still in the style of the classic TV era.

Although the picture quality is hard to describe, everyone still witnessed the scene of the attack.The imperial battleship caught off guard was bombarded by the sudden crystal shells and couldn't find the north in an instant.Apart from proving Yu Lian's conjecture and letting the friends know the danger of those unknown crystals again, this is really of no value.

However, at the end of the video, there is a voice outside the screen: "Captain, there is a ship transition signal! At D1244? No, it's F8776? Uh, it's there anyway!"

"Is it reinforcements?" The captain in the screen was overjoyed, and the video was cut off here.

Of course, the insiders later knew that these unlucky imperial investigation teams naturally did not wait for any rescue.However, their so-called "ship transition signal" is very imaginative.

Yu Lian looked at Feifei, or he had already opened the galaxy airspace map, entered the coordinates mentioned in the video, and then harvested a large expanse of airspace with a length, width, and height of at least one standard astronomical unit or more.

What is certain, however, is that the known gravity wells of this galaxy do not lie within this space.

There was an instant silence on the ship.

Anyone with a little common sense understands what this means.

New shipping lanes, new trade routes, fame and fortune, a name that will go down in history!

However, after a few seconds of ecstasy, Vega's face collapsed again.

The environment of the pulsar is indeed not very friendly to data collection. There is no particularly advanced aerospace computer installed on the Throne, and there is no professional analysis team on board.Even if it is known that the gravity well exists in this airspace, but with the current conditions on board, I am afraid that it will not be able to calculate anything within three to five months.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible to find a needle in a haystack, but is it easy to find a needle in a pond?

Vega, who has systematically studied cosmic navigation in the academy, watched the clumsy ship-borne center begin to groan and collect the disorganized data, and it was a mess when he saw it, and the joyful big round face suddenly squeezed out obvious pain. Xiang, looked at Yu Lian eagerly.

"Let's go to this star field for now." Yu Lian said listlessly.

Everyone didn't understand why he suddenly lost energy, but they still obeyed orders.Feifei took this opportunity and thoughtfully poured Yu Lian a cup of hot tea.

Yu Lian finished the tea that Feifei made by herself. Although she was absolutely skilled in this aspect, Liuli was actually better, but she still regained her energy.

Well, in an era when the technology tree has been crooked, I will try to find a way to solve things that cannot be solved by technology for the time being.While thinking about it, he walked to the outermost balcony on the upper deck of the bridge.

"After entering this airspace, quickly switch to the second charging speed." Yu Lian left such instructions again.

Feifei frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "The second charge speed? Can you count it?"

"Anyway, it's also the fifth ring now, and I've always been very confident in my physical fitness." Yu Lian gave a thumbs up: "Man, I have to push myself a lot."
