Star Wars: My battleship can transform

Chapter 250 Mysterious Signal

The advance fleet had completely left the human territory after passing the last bridge jump outside the human territory.

Qi Yiming's Xuefeng also crossed this symbolic boundary and truly entered the unfamiliar space of the universe.

Qi Yiming originally thought that it would be difficult to encounter the products of human civilization after crossing this boundary, but to Qi Yiming's surprise, the Xuefeng suddenly received a mysterious signal three days after passing this boundary.

What's even more strange is that among the tens of thousands of warships in the vanguard fleet, only the Xuefeng received it, as if the signal was sent in a directional manner.

The strange signal suddenly aroused Qi Yiming's alert.

Because the content of the signal is compilable and has obvious traces of human language.

According to measurements by science officers, the signal source came from an unfamiliar galaxy 300 light-years away.

In fact, Qi Yiming wanted to ignore this signal, but he was afraid of missing something. What if it was something left over from the former Human Federation?

After much thought, Qi Yiming finally decided to take a trip.

Because the advance fleet needs to wait at its current position for the follow-up fleet to catch up.

The subsequent journey will become long and boring, and more importantly, the fleet needs to conduct unified course calibration at this location.

After all, a full-power jump fleet will sail within the jump channel for at least a year to a year and a half, which all depends on the three largest giant colonial ships in the fleet.

It's not that Qi Yiming doesn't want the spacecraft to keep jumping, but that the giant spaceship will encounter space wrinkles during the jump.

When the spacecraft encounters a space fold, it will automatically leave the jump channel and return to normal space no matter what the situation.

This is a rule summarized by the former Human Federation's space navigation for nearly a thousand years.

The larger the hull, the shorter the time it will take to encounter space folds during the space jump.

Qi Yiming once asked the Academy of Sciences to roughly calculate that the three giants in the fleet would encounter space folds and be forced to return to normal space if they flew up to 400 light-years in the jump channel, and then the jump engines would enter a long period of time. cooling status.

And this cooling state is not what humans call cooling, but the energy storage chamber of the jump engine will inhale a large amount of mysterious substances during the jump process. When this substance fills the energy storage chamber of the jump engine, the next jump will be started. The engine must first expel these materials from the energy storage chamber.

Human beings have never studied the characteristics and source of this mysterious substance, but it actually affects the maximum distance that human ships can jump.

Scientists from the former Human Federation have conducted experiments. No matter how small the mass of the spacecraft is, it can only fly as far as 1,000 light-years using the jump engine. After that, no matter how much the mass of the spacecraft is reduced, it will not be able to exceed this value.

And as soon as space folds appear, no matter what state your spaceship is in or whether normal space will have a fatal impact on the spacecraft, it will be blocked by the space folds and return to normal space.

This is very dangerous, so generally for long-distance jump voyages like this, the farthest range will be determined in advance, and then a relatively safe environment will be selected within the voyage, and the spacecraft will be actively taken out of jump mode, and will wait until the jump engine is cooled down. Continue sailing to the next jump.

Therefore, the advance fleet will wait for the subsequent fleet to catch up at its current position, and then the entire fleet will calibrate its course and determine the position to escape the jump. Only then will the advance fleet set off again and wait for the fleet to arrive at the next point.

This process will be repeated for subsequent voyages until the long-distance voyage is completed.

Qi Yiming asked the navigation director that it would take more than two months for the subsequent escape fleet to catch up.

Even the Xuefeng super flagship, which is more than 300 light years away, only takes more than a month to travel back and forth, so Qi Yiming finally decided to make a trip.

But instead of taking the Xuefeng with them, the War Spear was detached from the Xuefeng super flagship, and then coupled with the special frigate that launched the induction signal for the super flagship, so that Qi Yiming would not be in trouble at a critical moment. Isolated.

After handing over the command of the super flagship to He Zhenzhu, who had just transferred the advance fleet from the escort fleet, Qi Yiming immediately commanded the Spear and the special frigate to fly towards the galaxy where the mysterious signal came from.

Half a month later, the War Spear arrived at the edge of the galaxy where the mysterious signal came from.

Qi Yiming did not rush into the inside of the galaxy, but conducted a careful scan of it outside the galaxy.

At the same time, several combat probes were launched into the galaxy for more detailed exploration.

After confirming that there was no obvious danger, Qi Yiming allowed the War Spear to slowly sail into this strange galaxy. As for the special frigate, Qi Yiming left it at the outer edge of the galaxy so that he could meet him on the War Spear The danger is summoning the Snow Peak to join the battlefield.

The star in the galaxy is a red giant with an unusually large diameter. The science officer told Qi Yiming that there should have been 5 to 7 planets in this galaxy. However, due to the sudden expansion of the star, the planets close to the star in the galaxy should have been destroyed. The star engulfed.

The only planet left now should be the farthest planet from the star before it expanded.

This planet was a blessing in disguise. The heat and light provided by the red giant gave it an atmosphere. The originally desolate planet became full of life and even gave birth to life.

But when Qi Yiming quietly landed on the surface of the planet in this small transport boat, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He saw that the people living on the surface were actually groups of human beings in the tribal era.

This left Qi Yiming a little confused. How could these savages send signals accurately to the Xuefeng, which was 300 light-years away?

As a last resort, Qi Yiming took the risk of being exposed and flew a small transport boat around the planet, but strangely, he could never accurately determine the source of the signal.

This is so strange. In space, it is clearly possible to determine that the source of the signal is on this planet. Why can't we accurately determine the location of the signal on this planet?

Just when Qi Yiming was wondering, the signal source suddenly disappeared.

Then Qi Yiming discovered that the human tribe on the surface suddenly became chaotic. They seemed to feel that some danger was approaching, and they were looking for caves to try to escape.

The War Spear, which was staying in the planet-synchronous orbit, was also frantically contacting Qi Yiming.

Because they saw a scene they had never seen before in their lives.

The asteroid under their feet seemed to come alive. On the back of the planet that Qi Yiming could not see, a mountain peak was rising rapidly, accompanied by violent earthquakes.

The mountain's rising speed has completely exceeded everyone's imagination, and the highest point of this mountain has completely exceeded the height of the planet's atmosphere.

It would be a bit unreasonable for Qi Yiming not to feel such a big movement.
