Battle in the Starry Sky: Start with Infinite Clone

Chapter 70 The Hermit

As a slight shaking came from the battleship beneath him, and then the lights inside the ship began to flash, Lin Zhuxiu could confirm that the Titan ship's engine had probably been damaged.

The impact of modifying constants on atoms is difficult to estimate, but Lin Zhuxiu also relied on his professional knowledge to grasp this scale very well.

In the bridge, Gang Gu also looked at Zhinao's error report and called the engineer and science officer over angrily.

Because of the engine failure just now, the Titan ship lost track of a group of mating Deep Space Voices, which made him angry.

"Didn't you do a self-check before departure? How could the space engine be seriously damaged!"

"If you can't handle this little thing, what use do we need from you!"

"Commander! The maintenance funds for the Victory Titan have not been allocated this year. We have already reported some problems to you, but you didn't take them to heart. Now we will check it out immediately!" the science officer lowered his head and elaborated objectively.

"Get out of here!"

"Yes!" However, these engineers were not seen back for half a day, so Gang Gu rushed to the engine room with a sullen face to inquire about the situation.

"Commander, we have tried all methods. I'm afraid the engine needs to be returned to the factory for repair!"

"We have just stabilized the states of negative matter, antimatter and neutron matter, and fortunately they can all be perfectly sealed!"

“How much resources and money will it cost to return to the factory for repair?”

"It's just that some superconductors need to be replaced. The expensive core material has not been damaged. We will send the specific projects to the commander in a moment." Hearing this, Gang Gu's nervousness eased.

Core material is a very scarce resource in the interstellar world. It is a strategic resource with a price but no market. It is used up every year to build warships.

As long as the core material is not lost, Gang Gu can accept it!

"Okay! How can we return now?"

"The pulse engine and quantum resonance engine were unscathed, and we were able to rely on the pulse engine to leave the Behemoth Starfield without quantum cruise signal coverage."

"The Titan ship Victory has the authority to apply for the quantum cruise channel. Use the quantum cruise channel to return to the Rann Nemesis Gate and then directly jump through the star gate and return to the giant shipyard."

"That's it, let's set sail!" Without the curvature engine, it took nearly two months for the Titan ship Victory to leave the Behemoth Starfield at nearly half the speed of light.

On normal days, one day of curvature navigation is enough.

As expected by Gang Gu, after two months of hunting and just after receiving interstellar communications, Gang Gu received a lot of "letters of condolences"!

He glanced at it casually, replied to the marshal's letter, and ignored the rest.

Within a few minutes of replying, the marshal directly connected to the Victory.

"Gang Gu! How is the situation there? Why has there been no news for so long?"

"The space engine was damaged by some abnormal phenomenon. It uses a propulsion engine. Fortunately, the engine is not seriously damaged. It just needs to be returned to the giant shipyard for repairs."

"That's good, be careful next time, the Confederacy can't afford the expense of building a fourth Titan ship!"

"It's just a few minor problems, just to show those arrogant guys that their things are not perfect!" The marshal nodded, and then hung up the communication.

Suddenly, another communication was trying to access. Gang Gu just looked at the name and was so disgusted that he wanted to hang up. After thinking about it, he answered it.

"Gang Gu! Did you destroy a starship that used dark matter weapons? Bring back the people and the wreckage immediately!" A stern-faced crocodile man hung up after saying this, with an order that could not be resisted in his words. Gang Gu slammed his fist on the console, "Why are you so arrogant!" Gang Gu cursed in his heart.

This guy is the chief scientific officer of the Ruelas Confederation, a guy who is very good at making money!

Why isn't there enough funding for the Titan ship? It's because this guy misappropriated part of the funds to conduct experiments on the acceleration of Rauchon neutron flow!

Gang Gu didn't like him at all, but he didn't tell this guy that he had the wreckage of a wanderer starship in his hands, let alone the existence of the space wanderer.

So how did this guy find out? There were actually men who were disloyal to him on his own ship... Gang Gu narrowed his eyes, thoughts swirling in his heart.

Sure enough, it’s better to be a foreign science officer! Due to the bloody origins of the Ruelas Confederation, they attach great importance to science and technology, placing science, technology and military power on an equal footing!

As the head of state, the marshal is sometimes not as powerful as the chief scientific officer. This has led to the two factions of the Ruelas Confederation, the academics and the warlords, constantly fighting with each other!

Because of the hermit's words, Gang Gu was unwilling to hand over Lin Zhuxiu.

"Humph! If it were normal, it would be fine, but I don't want to give it to you. Do you really think you can get it?" Gang Gu silently calculated in his heart.

"Commander, we have successfully received the signal from the quantum cruise channel and are preparing to enter the quantum cruise mode!" the Victory Titan Ship Science Museum said still expressionlessly.

Gang Gu is actually quite satisfied with this science museum, but it's just too standardized.

Everything must be done in accordance with the rules. For example, when reporting the wreckage, he automatically reported it, but this was his responsibility and power, and not even Gang Gu could interfere with it.

Gang Gu gave him a meaningful look and was already silently thinking about replacing it.

It's just that the science officer is personally appointed by the cabinet. Unless he is a famous hero or genius, the cabinet generally will not allow the commander or captain to change the science officer at will.

Therefore, Gang Gu focused on Lin Zhuxiu. In the prison, Lin Zhuxiu gradually became familiar with other people, and learned a lot of news about the Tianhe system from the reverse, the hermit and the shadow.

But he himself is taciturn and doesn't like to share anything. After all, he has too many secrets, and any one of them can scare them.

Thanks to the fact that the hermit likes to talk to him and help him hide his secrets, Lin Zhuxiu also has a good impression of the hermit.

During the conversation, they also learned that Lin Zhuxiu was not an ordinary person, but Lin Zhuxiu did not remove the cover of the law, so they did not know Lin Zhuxiu's true cultivation level.

And Lin Zhuxiu also had a deeper understanding of them. They were a group of people full of drama.

They are all brought together here by "fate" by the old man known as the Hermit, a humanoid creature who travels among many river systems.

A small number of river systems in the universe are connected by star gates by an unknown fallen advanced civilization.

But this high civilization once closed most of its star gates in order to isolate natural disasters. The successor of this high civilization is really the Tianling Empire.

However, there is still a special cosmic phenomenon called an astral rift that occasionally links certain river systems together.

The old man arrived at this river system through the astral rift, but the spacecraft was also destroyed while resisting the space storm.

Relying on the particularity of the void constitution, the hermit can travel through the void and sometimes see fragments of a person's future.
