The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Liu Lizi leaned against the arms of the regiment commander, the red in her eyes gradually faded, and she slowly showed a reassuring expression.

"Now, let's see how the Japari Chapter will deal with this matter that we all find difficult."

Chapter 583 Chapter 527: Hibernating without sleep... (waking up)

The J7845986-XKI galaxy, Gemini Fleet and Scorpio Fleet had just finished their transition, and the communication came in. It seems that Captain Okita has been waiting for a long time.

The old man with white beard and white hair appeared on the screen with a kind smile on his face, which made him look like a kind Santa Claus:

[Hello, Commander Xiaobao. 】

For the Gapari battle group that Tartarus is forming, Captain Okita knows as much as anyone else-the source of soldiers for this battle group can be said to be shocking, and anyone who has heard their stories will feel miserable for these children Life experience produces sympathy.Unlike the fan groups of spontaneous components of various civilizations, Captain Okita knew that he should not show such a mentality to these colleagues who worked together.

Xiao Bao saluted the screen and said loudly:

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Okita. I have long admired your name."

Is this old man the fierce general who assaulted the hostile power with a single ship, crossed the enemy's line head-on, and embarked on that legendary journey?But it doesn't look like it at all... His expression reminded Kaban of Mr. Matsuzaki who he met outside Tokyo, who took good care of the cursed children.

Is such a grandfather actually such a general?

Is such a little girl actually the commander of the chapter scheduled by Tartarus?

Fortunately, humans cannot understand each other like NT, otherwise this time will definitely be extremely embarrassing...

[Let's stop here for the polite words,] Captain Okita said sternly [Now it is approaching this way... But just looking at it, it doesn't seem to be moving at all. 】

In the ultra-long distance calculated in units of light years, if you run at 20% of the speed of light for a few days, you really can't see it at all.Captain Okita transmitted the data to Japari's command link. Judging from the data, the opponent has been maintaining a constant speed of motion, and it has continued until now.

"Hmm..." Xiao Bao touched her chin, the texture of the glove made her feel very comfortable, "Have you tried to contact me?"

This time, it was Captain Moriyuki who was in charge of communications——

[Because the planet is being investigated, the ship is temporarily unable to move.Let's use our long-distance communication method to transmit signals over there, but as imagined, it has no effect at all. 】

After all, the job of this ship is to explore and investigate. They have already searched and researched this planet, and it is impossible to throw away their work in the middle of the scan and leave to find the sub-light speed where all the information is unclear. spaceship.They could only stay here, trying to get in touch with the opposite party over and over again, but no matter how many messages they sent, all of them fell into the sea.

"Can't receive the subspace communication?"

Naturally, this was to be expected.It is not an easy task to exchange information synchronously in the distant universe. Early communication used electromagnetic waves or optical signals, which were 'instant' within a short distance, but in the case of a certain distance, it would be fatal. ——When I went to the Starship Fleet, Oregana noticed that they were still sending letters at that time... The reason is that the ultra-long-distance communication cannot be achieved in real time. In a word, it is still expensive, not as easy and cheap as sending a letter.

[Yes. 】Mori Xue replied【Maybe they didn't point out this technology at all. Analysts believe that there is a [-]% chance that they haven't pointed out FTL communication or FTL detection. 】

"Huh?! This..." Xiaobao showed an embarrassed expression—if this is the case, it means that all the signals they sent are still running halfway, and it will take years to receive them on the other side.

It's like talking to the air...

[We have lit a lot of flash bombs here before, if it has been staring at this planet, it will definitely be seen.But in fact, they didn't react at all, as if it didn't happen. 】

"If you didn't point out the superluminal detection technology and wanted to see the unnatural flashes here, then several years would have passed."

[So, the original radio wave communication is also invalid. When they receive it, it is estimated that even the infrastructure has been developed here. 】Captain Okita shook his head, sighed, and said 【Any thoughts? 】

"Yes," Xiao Bao smiled, "We will set up an outpost tower here as a communication transfer station, and then go to communicate with them face to face."

If the distance of the radio wave or something cannot be transmitted, then send it a little closer.

While saying this, Xiaobao remembered a saying that was circulated among the children when he was in school——

The real archaeology of a civilization begins after the leap engine is invented.When you want to see what happened on the earth 500 years ago, then jump to a place [-] light-years away from the earth, catch up with the reflected light at that time, and then take out the telescope and look at the earth. All right……

Of course, there seems to be no problem in theory, but it is slightly difficult to implement. (laugh)

Although it has little to do with the problems we are encountering now, there is one thing similar to them, that is——

When the ship runs faster than light and radio waves, many things will be handled differently. (nod)

It was under such circumstances that the expedition began.

The industrial ship anchors the control tower and the Starbridge system in the galaxy, and several scout ships calculate the current position of that spaceship based on spatial fluctuations, and transmit the real-time data to the Starbridge navigation system.The two fleets will be deployed in close proximity to the spacecraft after multiple hops.One fleet will approach the spaceships and send them a message, and the other fleet will try to intercept them in a gentle way-that is, using the ship's scrambling system to turn off the opponent's warp engine.

After turning off the curvature engine, the wrinkles in the space will be eliminated, and the ship will reduce its speed to the normal sailing speed in one breath-this will not cause the ship to be destroyed due to the influence of inertia, because in normal space, that The ship was sailing normally, but the effect of the curvature engine pulling the space made it faster.

But there are still difficulties... It's like standing next to the railway and trying to write the four ways of writing the word "fen" on the carriage with an oil-based pen at the moment the high-speed train roars past.This thing is so fast, even Floating Lotus, who is best at hunting games, can't guarantee that he can really catch it.

But try it and you won't lose a piece of meat! (righteous)

On the bridge of the command ship, the preparations before sailing are being completed one by one, and the highly automated ship navigation system allows these tasks to be completed accurately and efficiently.

While sitting and preparing for the voyage, Serval asked:

"Hey, Baobab! What kind of mood do they have for this journey?"

"I don't know, Yuka." Xiaobao said solemnly with a data tube cable stuck behind his neck, "We lack clues, so we can't guess."

"You're not usually like this, Xiaobao."

"During the mission, I will be a little more rational." She reached out her hand, stroked Serval's tail, and said, "Antares, can you hear me? How are you doing?"

[This is Antares, we have identified four transition points, and the data is being uploaded. 】

It is not impossible to reach the target in one jump, but that is with the flagship.The Gapari Chapter does not yet have a flagship. The Starbridge is essential for long-distance delivery of conventional warships, but the slower speed of the Starbridge objectively increases the incidence of accidents.In order to avoid jumping to a strange place in one jump, the navigator hopes to perform four jumps, shorten the distance of each jump, and reduce the probability of problems as much as possible.

Xiaobao looked at the route map proposed by the navigator on Xinsu No. [-], calculated it in his heart, nodded affirmatively, and said:

"Great job, if all goes well we'll be within a week of getting to contact with them."

[Understood, I'm starting the start-up of the Starbridge, and immediately moved to the delivery area! 】

"How to contact them then?"

"Light signals, and electric waves—these are the oldest things, and they are also the best things to use in this situation." While controlling the steering of the battleship, Xiao Bao said to Serval, "Right? Besides, it counts as a failure." It doesn't matter."

"Well?"

"After all, we have a lot of opportunities and time."

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

When the battleship jumped into this void universe, Xiao Bao looked at this vast void, and a deep sense of loneliness welled up from the depths of her heart—she could see the two Talon-class interceptor ships beside her. The tail flames of the battleship, they are the same as the one I am on, they are flying in the universe at such an astonishing speed... However, the only thing that can prove that the battleship is moving is the number on the instrument.

Indeed, the thrusters were on, but the ship seemed to be sucked in place by something, and the extremely distant starry sky and nebula outside did not move at all.It's like a huge 'egg', its own ship is sailing in the shell, and all it sees is the pattern-like texture on the inner wall of the eggshell.

This feeling of loneliness and emptiness gradually mixed into a strange unpleasant feeling in her heart. Thanks to the jump engine and the jump engine, they allowed her to fly through the darkness of the universe, just like walking through a dark alley at night. These abysses among the stars.

And are they, under such circumstances, trekking in this abyss void at such a slow speed for several years or decades?

Terrible……

A bright spot appeared on the screen, and the shipboard scanner had discovered the galloping spaceship—it was much larger than expected, and could be seen even at a distance of 2AU.However, what the optical viewfinder captures is not what it is now, but what it was about 6 or 15 minutes ago.

The warships jumped in one after another, and every time the end of the jump represented an overflow of light and a gravitational response.However, they lack the means of long-distance and time-difference observation, and I am afraid that they will have to wait for a quarter of an hour to see these abnormal light spots.And it will take nearly an hour and a half for them to see this place.

"Xiao Bao, it's almost time to start." Yuka monitored the data on the meter and said, "The distance between us is 2AU now, if we send out light signals now, they can find it within 15 minutes."

"Go ahead, let them notice us."

"understand!"

--------------

When Mooreston awoke, the ship was still on its way.

This is the seventh time he has woken up during this long journey... This should not have happened in the design, but the plan can never catch up with the change.

The freezer is a good thing, it keeps the astronauts in cryogenic hibernation for the long, damn journey.If everything goes well, they will sleep at their destination, and when they open their eyes, the spaceship has landed on the surface of that beautiful planet, and the birds and flowers are everywhere—no, how is that possible?No matter how good the environment of an alien planet is, it is impossible for it to be so suitable for the survival of its own race.

The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers do not exist, not only do they not exist, but these colonists have to do their best to transform this planet to make it suitable for people to live in, and then reproduce on it, endlessly.

But what?

Every time I open my eyes, there is still a dark universe outside, and the place where I live is so special that there are still a ghost knows how many light-years away.And every time he wakes up, the shipboard AI arranges things for himself-the first time is to repair the central energy pipeline, the second time is a failure of the space detection buoy, and the third time is to be hit by an asteroid while stopping the ship to cool the engine. Until the outer wall is damaged, the fourth time is...

I have encountered almost everything I can think of, and I must lead the team to do it myself. Who made myself the captain?

Although he has come to his senses, every time he wakes up, he feels weaker than before.Long-term low-temperature dormancy does not have no effect on the body as those technicians said. The damage of low temperature and time has accumulated in the body, consuming one's health and physical strength.

When he came out of the cryogenic cabin, the cold seemed to have penetrated into his bone marrow, and he felt trembling every time he moved. Mooreston supported the wall, rested for a while, and immediately rushed to the bridge.Every time the system wakes him up, there are troublesome things waiting for him, and he is too lazy to think about what he is asking himself to do this eighth time.

It can't be that the toilet in the toilet is broken, right?He thought maliciously——if that thing breaks, it will break, anyway, everyone is hibernating and won't be able to use that thing.

But on the way to the bridge, he saw many companions who were also important personnel one after another.

"Albatier! Have you been awakened too!"

"Well, the fifth time, I'm so annoying." The engineer known as Albatier said with an irritable face. The long hibernation obviously had a lot of impact on him-the one before the departure of this product The beard is almost gone. "I just checked, and the planet is still about three light years away."

"Is it so close? How about we stop sleeping and just stay awake to pass the time?"

"Just kidding! How can there be so much food for you to eat!" Albatier straightened the badge on his chest, and said seriously, "Look at what we need to fix this time, and lie back immediately after fixing it...Damn it, I Enough of that cold blanket."

"Be patient, it should be the last time."

"hope so……"

The two walked quickly into the bridge, and when the door opened, Mooreston was stunned—the bridge was full of people, and everyone was looking at what was on the screen. No sound at all.

Needle drop can be heard...

Chapter 584 Chapter 528: Stop, please be careful, stop, please be careful

The Settler 200 spacecraft is very large, with a long axis of more than 5000 meters. It has a shape similar to a cigar. The outer shell is smooth and beautiful. The freezer inside can put [-] people into hibernation—you know, across the galaxy The journey is so far that it is unimaginable that a baby uploading it may not be able to reach the destination until the beard and hair are all white.

Moreover, the person on board cannot be a baby. In order to smoothly transport the colonists who are teenagers to their destination, a freezer is essential.

Not only that, but she is also equipped with the most advanced and excellent curvature engine. This powerful technology that seemed like a miracle in the past allows her to sail on the waves of the star sea at a speed of one-fifth of the speed of light. Wrinkle the smooth space, then ride the ripples with lightning speed.And there is no need to carry a large amount of propellant as in the past, which makes large-scale colonization across galaxies possible.

She is so big, so fast, and she has been everyone's pride since birth.

The crew on board are also carefully selected young talents. They will use the industrial equipment carried on board to develop their own civilization on the new planet.

But now, the leaders of these young talents are huddled in the bridge that is too narrow for such a large ship, watching the strange things appearing on the screen with dumbfounded——

It was clearly a fleet, a... strange fleet.

Every ship in that fleet has a rust-colored appearance, which makes them look like the wreckage of a large ship.But upon closer inspection, the technology they use is simply astonishing.

For those large and small boats, almost every hull has scaffolding-like brackets, and even black translucent photovoltaic panels reminiscent of the sails of ancient sailing ships.The leading one, with wonderful rounded lines, looks completely different from the others.The energy flows on the surface of the hull, and then flows to the surroundings of the hull, forming a faint oval light shield.

Constant energy shield, this is a technology that barely had a prototype before he set off.
