Beneath Deep Space

Xu Yunjin is a resolute person, and his style is very military. When necessary, means are necessary. Soon, he raised his voice and solemnly issued a series of orders.

The one-month maintenance period was forcibly compressed to 20 days, which will inevitably significantly extend people's working hours.

It's easy for all new humans to talk, after all, everyone knows the internal cause. However, this series of orders caused complaints from the affiliated civilizations. Although these affiliated civilizations were all elites, they had more free thoughts. There were also some internal rumors, saying that "the enemy may be coming, and the Pangu may be coming." Get out" and so on.

Xu Yunjin sneered and sent a large number of troops to directly arrest some spreaders of rumors, and then announced an increase in welfare benefits during "overtime periods." The whole thing was suppressed under the policy of big stick and red dates.

"... Just maintain the necessary parts. If it is not necessary, you can do it after the 'Pangu' departs. The affiliated civilization cannot be too oppressive." Xu Yunjin said to an expert from the maintenance team.

"The 'Pangu' battle star must correct its course as soon as possible, speed up its actions, and leave as soon as possible." He sighed in his heart, and in just a short while, he deeply understood the usual difficulties of Captain Yu Yifeng.

In this way, more than twenty days later, the anxious maintenance work was finally completed and the Pangu was started again.

The first maintenance went smoothly, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the entire escape is a long-term project. The farthest enemy is still 9.3 light-years away, but there is no need to be careless. It is safer to set off a day earlier.

The communication this time was not useless. The Pangu urgently updated its escape route. At the same time, both parties also formulated a plan for the next step: changing direction every four months.

The hibernation bill may still continue, but the infrastructure work on the planetary curvature engine, including foundation laying, basic material production, etc., can already be operated in the Pangu.

"Future" is responsible for observing enemy movements and notifying "Pangu" to change its route at any time. As long as there is a targeted route, it will not be easy to plunge into the enemy's encirclement network.

Just like that, the long chase through the stars began.

Although the Pangu ran slowly, it still ran at super-light speed and could cover most of its movements. The enemy's spaceship ran fast, but it needed to stop from time to time to analyze Pangu's gravity data, which significantly slowed down its speed.

There is also a future ship that follows the enemy, collecting information and threading threads.

One year...two years...three years...

The entire pursuit quickly became intense.

The enemy took the lead in using the "outflanking tactic" of planetary battleships chasing behind and other highly maneuverable small spacecraft intercepting in front.

As long as some small fleets are lucky enough to wait until the Pangu stops for maintenance, they can be the first to strike!

Of course, a large number of fleets running in front of the Pangu is equivalent to being completely unaware of the movement trajectory of the Pangu. Coupled with the timely notification from the Future, the "wait and wait" double-teaming mode did not have a very good effect.

A strange impasse emerged.

The Future did indeed play a huge role. It commanded the Pangu on several occasions and avoided being surrounded by enemy troops.

The universe is too big. Because of the limitation of the speed of light, all kinds of information are like the fog of war. It's definitely a mathematical, mental and tactical battle.

However, in the fourth year of escaping, something big happened: the Future was discovered!

He almost had a head-on conflict with a battle star!

The massive explosions of photon torpedoes are like suns in bloom. A large number of scorching light clusters flashed briefly. This conflict caused the Future to lose a large number of spacecraft and antimatter in reserve.

After long-term detection of enemy army movements, it was found that it was actually very normal.

Fortunately, as long as it did not encounter a white dwarf battle star, the Future was not afraid, and its powerful maneuverability quickly threw away its pursuers.

Such an adventure is always safe without risk... and it also makes the Future more and more cautious and cautious...

"In the past 8 years, there have been 14 conflicts, large and small..."

"It's not easy for us to escape like this! What should we do? The opponent's encirclement network has not been thrown away, but it has a tendency to become smaller and smaller. The speed of our Pangu is still too slow..."

On this day, the Future was quietly parked in the void, observing the movements of the opponent's battle stars. Several experts are discussing non-stop, almost racking their brains.

After careful planning, Pangu has been escaping for 17 years, covering a total distance of 45 light-years!

17 years!

"The nearest enemy planet is about 5.4 light-years away."

This distance trend is not wonderful. Especially the white dwarf battle star, which is only 15 light-years away from Pangu.

The new humans must think of a better way to completely get rid of this kind of tracking.

"It's difficult, it's really difficult... The traces of planetary movement are still too obvious." People are distressed, and there is almost no way to get rid of this kind of brown candy-like pursuit of the enemy.

Without the help of other civilizations or allies, in the dark universe, you can only rely on yourself for everything.

Even Yu Yifeng sat in his seat with a troubled expression and said nothing.

Eight years have allowed them to gradually understand the current situation. At 3 times the speed of light, it is really difficult to escape from this kind of encirclement.

Several times, it was pure luck that led to the White Dwarf Battle Star being misled, otherwise the Pangu would have been in danger!

"There are two current plans: First, put a large number of people into the Pangu and spend more than ten years to completely perfect the remaining engines. After all, we have prepared a lot of time, so we should be able to speed up the process."

"Second, give up the Pangu." The silence did not last long, and Yu Yifeng spoke in a dry voice.

"... It was our decision-making mistake. If we had known earlier, we should have put a large number of people into the Pangu. Maybe the remaining 120 towers have been built by now. The Pangu would have been able to reach higher speeds, and I was able to escape..." Yu Yifeng regretted.

In fact, there was nothing we could do about this. All the members present were silent.

The original decision was made jointly by everyone... and for the safety of the new human race as a whole.

Now everyone is a little regretful. They didn't dare to take risks at the beginning, so that the current speed is still 3 times the speed of light, and so many years of time were wasted. Especially in the beginning, there were no enemy pursuits for 9 years.

Although Yu Yifeng's think tank is smart, it is not a god and will make mistakes. The new humans have never experienced such a long pursuit battle. Facing such an enemy that is like brown sugar, they are simply the kind that cannot be wiped off because they are stuck on them, and they lack experience in dealing with them.

This long-term war has made everyone's psychology and minds more mature.

"Well, it's useless to regret. The top priority now is to invest a large number of people and continue to build the remaining curvature engines. Otherwise, we can only abandon the Pangu."

"In other words, we need to discuss a question: whether we can persist in the ten years it takes for the entire project." Yu Yifeng stood in front and said seriously.

The think tanks discussed for a while: The answer is... I don't know!

Because many times, it depends on luck!

The enemy's planetary spacecraft has a maximum speed of 10 times the speed of light, which is not particularly high, but it is more than enough to pursue the Pangu. Along the way, I stopped and analyzed from time to time. Although it slowed down the speed, it is really difficult for new human experts to predict whether it will catch up with the Pangu in the next ten years.

The speed of the white dwarf battle star is very fast, capable of reaching 50 times the speed of light, but the acceleration of this battle star is very slow, and it takes more than two years to start from zero to the maximum speed.

Therefore, the maneuverability of this battle star is not particularly high, and its turning ability is not good. This is why it has not caught up with the Pangu so far.

"We still have to take a gamble..." Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh: "If we can't give up the Pangu, we can only send out all our engineering teams... Such a gamble! In ten years, everyone is confident that in ten years Will it be completed within the year?”

Everyone was silent and fell into a long hesitation.

After a long time, one of the experts said: "It doesn't take ten years. We have already manufactured a large number of parts. Many infrastructure projects in the Pangu have also been completed. I estimate that seven or eight years will be enough."

Yu Yifeng did not hesitate too much: "Then it's decided... the next time the Pangu stops for large-scale maintenance, all the engineering personnel will be sent there. It will be four months later... Selection of engineers , Let’s start the preparations as soon as possible!”
