Him and their stars

When Yu Lian and Feifei returned from the virtual realm again, they returned to the captain's room of the Scarlet Throne. The two looked at each other, feeling as if they were in a dream.

Of course, Yu Lian quickly recovered from his momentary trance. After all, he has been in and out of the virtual realm many times now, and with experience, he will not be afraid of anything. However, he was filled with fascination when he thought about how a big boss like the old man could simply use the virtual world as a copy of his own backyard to go in and out.

This is a state of unrestrainedness that I never experienced at the peak of my previous life.

One day, can I grow to this point? Yu Lian was so imaginative. However, from his current position, the expansion of the star ring and the improvement of strength can only be regarded as a means to achieve his career, rather than the career itself. I am afraid that he will not be as cool as his master for a long time.

The old man pinned his hopes of realizing the Great Way on Yu Lian, a bucket man, which really put him under a little pressure.

He couldn't help but look at Feifei next to him worriedly. It was probably her first time to go to the virtual realm, but not only did she face the boundless sea of ​​ether, but she also faced the giant ether beast that covered the sky and the sun. It was inevitable that she would suffer a little mental shock.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Feifei said with a smile: "Did you gain some medical examination psychic skills after the star ring advanced? Are you going to check my body?"

Not to mention, after the fifth ring, my "Touch of Life" was also upgraded to the "Eye of Life". In addition to the original function of healing and detoxifying, it also has a little more X-ray effect - you can see The opponent’s mental and blood state at this time.

To put it bluntly, you can see the opponent's health bar, blue bar and buff. Although it is only a reference value that is not very intuitive, and it may be misled if used on an expert, it is always better than nothing.

So, Yu Lian actually activated his skills to observe Feifei and confirmed that the girl was in very good physical and mental health and had no problem with being frightened at all.

A mere second ring, entering the virtual realm for the first time, facing the ferocious face of Etai Qiu that covered half of the sky for the first time, yet he was so calm. really……

Sure enough, this is how my Feifei should be!

"I've known it since the day I awakened. Sooner or later, I'll have the opportunity to explore the virtual realm. Naturally, I need to prepare in advance." Feifei smiled and said, "I borrowed one from Xiaoqing some time ago. This virtual realm adventure note describes in detail what may happen in the virtual realm."

"Expedition notes? Xiaoqing's?" Yu Lian couldn't help but be startled, and then realized: "Is it left by her ancestors?"

"Yes, it was left by Gongsun Heng, the third generation Earl of Yongdi in the empire. He is also the most powerful psychic and explorer in the history of the Gongsun family. He has many experiences in conquering virtual realms."

Not only is he an eighth-ring psyker, he is also an inspirational role model for Earth immigrants in the Empire. He served as an Imperial Marshal and Director of Imperial Army Training, and he also served as a Privy Councilor for three years before retiring. Since it was a private note left by this person, it should be more authoritative than most official documents.

"So, although the Aether Qiu is scary, I am not afraid anymore when I think of the presence of Master Youlan and Yu'er. Besides, although the scene was quite shocking, when the latest expansion pack of "Gaboria Online" comes and the King of the Void arrives, In fact, it’s pretty much the same. If you refresh the latest copy a few times, you’ll get used to it.”

Yu Lian felt that this seemed to make sense.

"Wait a minute, didn't King of the Void's new expansion pack say it would be released in June this year?"

"The trial version was released in advance. I got an inside password from Yani." Feifei said.

Tsk, that white-furred fox is carrying a woman who is not a human being! I've obviously even smashed up the Imperial Capital Tianyu area, but you didn't even notify me if there was an inside account?

...That’s all, even if it was given to me, I wouldn’t have time to go online!

"On the contrary, Yu'er, after Shenghuan successfully woke up, he didn't dare to look at me for half a minute." Feifei tilted her head and glanced at Yu Lian in confusion again: "I heard that people who have Shenghuan need to train their hearts. This will inevitably bring out the past shadows in the heart to torture people. Could it be that Yu'er did something to feel sorry for me? "

This, this... does it count to blast you with blue fire Gatling? Although we know that it is just your phantom, after all, I shot you with a gun, so I still feel a little guilty.

"Forget it, I don't want to ask. Anyway, you've apologized to me for too many things. If you really wanted to be honest, I should have found a hatchet to chop you up, then carried your head on the boat and floated to the sun."

"Why do you have to hold your head on the boat when it's a hatchet?"

"Maybe the spirit of the universe in the dark told me that this is in line with your destiny." Feifei sneered: "Besides, don't you deny that you've been sorry to me?"

"I really am not sorry for you!" At least there is no substantive action!

"Haha~~~"

This expressionless "haha" was still very intimidating, and Yu Lian felt that it was better not to dwell too much on this issue.

Yu Lian looked at the current time again. He seemed to have spent a long time in the virtual realm, but only five or six minutes had passed in reality. This does not mean that the flow of "time" in the virtual realm is fuller than in reality, but it represents a misalignment of time.

Some adventurers spend several hours in the virtual world, only to find that several days have passed when they return to reality.

Fortunately, this kind of dislocation is still limited at present, whether it is fast or slow, it is within ten times the speed. It didn't happen that I took a trip to the virtual realm and found out after coming out that I could attend the wedding of my great-granddaughter.

Otherwise, everyone would have to leave a suicide note before venturing into the virtual realm, which would be very confusing.

In short, the delay in the real world is not too long, so we can still go for midnight snacks as originally planned.

Yu Lian took Feifei to the officers' dining room with him. As soon as they sat down, before the ordered meals were served, Colonel Soback appeared at the door. After hesitating for a few seconds, he came over.

"Aren't you ready to return to the Snowstorm to take charge?" Yu Lian asked.

"Here, just as we were preparing to set off, the bridge received a message from Sabertooth Tiger 248 ahead."

As mentioned before, the predator fleet went directly from the jurisdiction of the Imperial Governor's Mansion. Based on the "New Continental Arms Limitation Treaty", the Governor's Office of course could not produce any troops that could fight the main force of the predators, but the colonial fleet did not choose the tragic "fight the enemy when seeing the enemy" like their Imperial Navy ancestors did, but adopted Very pragmatic measures.

Strategic shift, and strategic pursuit. This is what is called fighting without fighting, retreating without retreating.

Before the "Special Reconnaissance Formation" composed of the Scarlet Throne and the Blizzard entered the New World, all the warships in the colony were composed of three to five small warships into more than ten small fleet formations, trailing behind the enemy's main fleet and moving forward cautiously. Move forward for preliminary reconnaissance.

Of course, even for the reconnaissance fleet, these colonial warships, which were only light cruisers at their largest, were still too fragile in front of the large fleet of predators. Therefore, after a series of small-scale battles involving rear-stopping and kiting, ambushes and counter-ambushes, only three groups of small fleets were left that could continue to carry out reconnaissance missions.

The four-ship formation led by the destroyer Sabretooth Tiger 248 is one of them.

In addition, the captain of Sabertooth Tiger 248 was Colonel Soback's old boss when he served in the colony. However, this is not what Yu Lian said he could know.

"Did we get ambushed by the Predator fleet?" he asked.

"There have been several problems before, and Lieutenant Colonel Naga has been very careful. He is an experienced old captain, and he is also very cautious in doing things. He will not be fooled so easily." Colonel Soback shook his head and said, "But, The Shepherd A constellation they are currently in did encounter a battle and sent a distress signal to the surrounding areas."

Yu Lian and Feifei looked at each other, and the latter said: "It takes 6 jumps from our current location, and the physical distance is more than 250 light years."

"That is to say, even through the gravitational wave signal repeater, this is news from at least a day ago." Yu Lian pondered.

"To be precise, it was 28 hours ago." Soback added: "When Lieutenant Colonel Naga sent the rescue signal, he gave a detailed account of their immediate time."

There is no source wave terminal device in the New World, at least the colonists of various countries have not found it yet. As a result, instant communication across galaxies in the New World will be impossible.

The most advanced communication method currently available in the field of science and technology is to carry out beacon-style signal relay through an automatic gravitational wave signal relay station. This can barely complete hyperbeam communication, but even so, it is far from being able to communicate with the source mass wave. Such is the legacy of enlightened beings.

Yu Lian suddenly realized that if he stayed in the New World for another half a year, he would not be able to catch up with the latest activities when the new expansion pack of Gaboria Online was released in June.

...Tsk, the last time I served in Xinyumen, I gave my number to Feifei and the girls in the student union. Now that Feifei has also come, we can only leave it to Zhixia and Liuli.

However, when it comes to technology alone, Yu Lian is really worried!

"Besides the signal for help, is there anything else that can determine how many troops the enemy has?" Yu Lian asked.

"Lieutenant Colonel Naga only said that the bombardment was launched within the detection range, and then the signal was interrupted." Colonel Soback said.

"Dreadnought's main gun firing?" Yu Lian was startled. Just to deal with some following tracking fleets, there is no need to dispatch a dreadnought ship to break up the rear, right?

Colonel Soback shook his head and nodded again, his eyes looking a little sad. The other party's distress signal was sent more than a day ago, and even if we try our best to rush over, it will take at least 72 hours. In addition, you must also consider the possible crisis situations you may encounter on the road.

His own rescue was simply out of reach, and his old superior was probably in danger.

More importantly, no one can guarantee whether the predators have made a plan to encircle the point and call for reinforcements.

"However, we can at least be sure that the enemy's main force should pass through the Shepherd A galaxy. In this way, our next step can be determined." Feifei called up the star map and clicked on one of the galaxies. After a moment: "This is the Duke Melente Galaxy. The last time we got the location of the main fleet of the Predators, it was this galaxy."

This is also a galaxy without terrestrial planets or residents, and it is also outside the colonial territory of the empire and the community, but it can be regarded as an important transportation node on the interstellar jump network, with a total of six known jump routes. Two of them point to the colonies of the Empire and the Community respectively, and the remaining four should point to the more distant unknown star fields.

Feifei clicked on the Tree Shepherd Galaxy again and drew a line between the two galaxies.

"This line is the route we already know. However, in the direction beyond the end of the route, there is indeed a large group of stars in their prime. It's just that the explorers haven't discovered the route yet." Feifei said: "We arrived there By that time, even if the enemy has evacuated, based on their remaining energy signals, it is very possible to search for the jump entrance."

Yu Lian said nothing, frowning in thought.

Colonel Soback, on the other hand, had a face that was turning blue and red, and he was obviously troubled.

Of course he knows what discovering a new jump channel means to his career. In comparison, detecting the movements of the main force of predators is nothing.

In fact, he still feels that no matter how fierce the main force of the predators is, it will be a disease of mustard. When the mainland is ready and dispatches a large army to press on the New World, it is only a matter of time to deal with these clowns.

And if new waterways, new colonizable planets, new indigenous civilizations and resources are discovered, you can even apply to the Heraldry Academy for a hereditary territory. In this way, isn't the ultimate goal of reviving the Soback family name achieved ahead of schedule?

But the problem is, they may also rush to the Tree Shepherd Galaxy excitedly, and then be beaten to death by the predators' ambush waiting for work!
