Chapter 113 Tracked Spaceship

The Land of No Return is very large, and its scope exceeds the star field controlled by any super civilization.It is said that within such a large range, there will always be some planets suitable for living things, and there will not be too few ore stars. The civilizations around it cannot be indifferent to the fat on their lips.But in fact, none of the civilizations around this area stretched their hands into the land of no return, and even the available planets on the edge of it have not been developed. The reason is that the area is too dangerous, and even its edge is often attacked. Some meteorites of different sizes attacked, and the exploration spacecraft that went deep into this area did not hear of any of them coming back.Several advanced civilizations were very interested in developing this area, specially produced a batch of reinforced exploration spaceships, and organized a group of experienced explorers to go deep into this area, but without exception, they all disappeared.Since then, this place has been called the land of no return, which means that there is no return.

Sun Xiang's destination this time is the edge of the Land of No Return, an inconspicuous asteroid Kaibo.This remote asteroid is the genus of the Vilas civilization. Speaking of Vilas, Sun Xiang couldn't help but think of his first friend after contacting the alien civilization, the demon-like gunpowder weapon lover. Kaman.It has been more than a year since the two parted ways in Handun. When Kaman returned, he told Sun Xiang that if he got to Vilas, he must go to him!Thinking about how much I have changed during this period of time, I have changed from a pioneer to a craftsman, and now I am mixed up as a mercenary, and even established a mercenary group "Long Xiang" in name only.This name was randomly picked up by Grant when he asked about it. Although it is a bit rustic, it has some symbolic meaning anyway.I'm afraid I won't be able to find Kaman in Vilas this time, and Mengman is still waiting for him to rush to help.

According to the information Monman gave him, although this planet belongs to the Vilas civilization, it is very far away from the central area of ​​Vilas due to its remote location.In addition, there were no mineral resources nearby, so Vilas managed it very loosely, and only placed a small team of armed spaceships near this planet.They think that no one will be interested in such a planet with no strategic and economic value, and they only need to put a few armed spaceships to prevent poor pirates.Administratively, only one chief executive was established, and besides a guard, there were only a few staff members left under this chief executive, which he brought over by himself after he was appointed.With the six-year rotation system, even if the chief executive wants to do something here, he can't do it because the time is too short, so the nominal chief executive has no influence on this planet.

The real manager of Kaibo is the Free Business Alliance.I heard that a high-level member of the Merchant Alliance passed by this planet and thought it was a pity that it was deserted, so he negotiated with Vilas’ senior management that the Merchant Alliance would manage the planet, and the proceeds would be shared by both parties.Vilas is a civilization with extremely developed commerce. It is inextricably linked with the Merchant Alliance, and the Merchant Alliance has a great influence on it.The senior executives of Vilas feel that Kaibo is just an insignificant planet anyway, as long as this planet still belongs to Vilas in name, a favor from the Merchant League is nothing.They didn't care about the share, so they easily signed an agreement with the business alliance.

Thirty years later, under the management of the Merchant Alliance, this planet has become a distribution center for surrounding goods.Although the tax revenue cannot be compared with the commercial stars in the central star field of Vilas, it is dozens of times higher than those of the surrounding planets suitable for human habitation.Although Vilas was a little jealous, in order to maintain the relationship with the business alliance, the management of Kaibo has always followed the agreement, but sent some more people over for tax auditing.These are the information on the Kaibo planet provided by Monman, and it can only help Sun Xiang to literacy, first understand the basic situation of the target planet.

The distance from Tarrera to Kaibo is not close. Sun Xiang is a beginner in interstellar navigation, so he can only roughly estimate that it will take about forty days to reach Kaibo.This left and right error is still within five days.Sun Xiang himself was also very dissatisfied, but he really had no experience in this area and could not accurately calculate the exit of the jump, so when the errors of each jump were superimposed, it became the time error of the entire journey.Sun Xiang asked the spaceship's intelligence brain to calculate, and the conclusion was 37 days, but the intelligence brain obtained a net journey without any interference, and if there is any unknown intervention, even if it is a meteorite, as long as its gravity can affect the battleship , will affect the final arrival time.Therefore, this calculation result can only be used as a reference.

The novelty of driving passed after Sun Xiang had continuously operated the spaceship for ten hours, but he found that Claude was still staying in the bridge with great interest, looking at various data on the panoramic screen.Sun Xiang simply handed over the spacecraft to Claude to drive, and went back to the studio to study the space transmission device.Unexpectedly, two hours later, Claude contacted Sun Xiang in the studio and asked him to go to the bridge to have a look.Not knowing what happened, Sun Xiang immediately put down his work and rushed to the bridge. When he arrived, he found that the Rick siblings had already arrived, and the three of them were pointing and talking at the screen.

Seeing that they were calm and not panicked, Sun Xiang was relieved, and he walked behind the three of them and asked, "What's going on, you're so anxious?"

Seeing that Sun Xiang was coming, Claude said, "I found an unknown spaceship that has been following us. I noticed it when you were driving, but I didn't care. You asked me to operate it just now, and I changed the direction on purpose." , but they still followed, it seems that we were being targeted, so I notified you."

"Oh?" Sun Xiang glanced at the image on the screen.The image on the screen has switched from the star map to the scan map. After a small jump, the spacecraft has flown out of the galaxy where Tarrera is located and entered the boundless and vast space.

When this battleship was sold to Sun Xiang, the scanning equipment inside may not have any new technology, and it has been completely preserved.So Sun Xiang and the others used military scanning equipment, which has a much larger range of action and reliability than ordinary ones.Even so, there are very few targets that military scanning equipment can capture in the vast universe, but at this moment the screen clearly shows that another spaceship is following behind your own ship, and it keeps a certain distance from your own ship. It follows unhurriedly, no matter how its own speed changes, it always maintains the same speed as its own ship.

Sun Xiang knew that the short-distance sprint speed of his spaceship was unmatched by ordinary spaceships, but this speed can only be maintained for a period of time, and this speed increase is obtained by the consumption of a large amount of spar. Don't want to use its acceleration function.Without acceleration, its normal sailing speed is at most equal to that of an ordinary spaceship.Seeing that the boats behind can find themselves accurately after jumping, it shows that they have powerful computing power, and they can calculate the jumping point by relying on the parameters collected before jumping. It is not easy to get rid of them.
