Putting on his helmet and carefully checking every seat belt, Liu Qingpeng reached out and opened the instrument in the cockpit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After taking several deep breaths in an effort to make his expression look less stiff, he reached out and touched the side of his helmet, and a row of pale blue light curtains instantly spread out in front of his field of vision, and a strange and ordinary female face appeared in front of his eyes.

Navigator: "Number 01 Navigator at your service...... Are you nervous?"

Liu Qingpeng smiled reluctantly: "What do you think?"

"It's best to control your heart rate, it will help to avoid accidents. In order to save as much fuel as possible on board, you will complete the acceleration step within the runway. ”

"How many g?"

“20.1g。 ”

“…… Can you apply for a Guinness World Record for me?" Liu Qingpeng said with a wry smile.

The guide said without any sense of humor: "No, this flight is a top-secret mission." Unless you're willing to try again when you get back. ”

"I'd better wait until I get back. ”

The usher said in an affirmative tone, "You will." ”

Will you?

Liu Qingpeng didn't believe it at all, no one was more familiar with his crotch machine than himself. The flight range of 30 million kilometers is dozens of times more than the normal cruising radius of the electric ray X-1, and it is quite a dangerous flight outside the Earth-Moon system, even if there is a quantum computer to navigate for him alone, the probability of his survival is only one in ten.

His biggest fear is not that he will not be able to catch up with the earth, but that he will not be able to slow down and change his orbit due to lack of fuel on the way back, and finally "pass by" the earth-moon system and become a lonely ghost in the solar system.

All sacrifices are just to go up and take a look.

But he didn't regret it, because he took the task himself.

Finally, taking a deep breath of the air in Star Ring City, he resolutely pressed the take-off button next to the joystick.

The robotic arm towing the A-1 slowly moved, grabbed it from the parking field, and "stuffed" it into the dark runway.

The signal lights on the runway were turned on again and again, but they still could not illuminate the hundreds of kilometers of runway. The blue arc began to swim around the edge of the aircraft, and in order to prevent the retina from detaching, Liu Qingpeng chose to close his eyes.

Whenever he lies on this runway, he feels like a cannonball, stuffed into the chamber of an electromagnetic gun.

The navigator's unrelenting voice rang in his ears.

"Ejection countdown. ”

“5”

“4”

“3”

“2”

“1”

“0”

A moment of tearing came from every inch of cell, Liu Qingpeng clenched his teeth, and used perseverance to resist the tearing of the acceleration, while silently counting the seconds in his heart.

The torment lasted for a full minute, and the force squeezing on his shoulders suddenly loosened, and when he opened his eyes again, the Star Ring City behind him had turned into a round wheel, and he was already in the bright starry sky.

From a distance, the faint blue arc of light flashed for only a brief moment at the emitter in the center of Star Ring City, and a black dot was thrown into the vast universe. Compared to the whole earth, this electric ray is like a lonely boat pushed into the deep sea, small and fragile.

For the first time, the earth civilization, like the child of Xinghai, stretched out its immature hand to the unknown existence.

Before he could remember the distant earth, the navigator's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Check the weapon system. ”

"Understood. ”

Liu Qingpeng pressed the red button next to the joystick, and two thick and long round pipes popped out under the electric ray A-1, slowly opening up to the wings. At the same time, at the command of the navigator, he turned on the safety and made two short two short presses on the joystick.

Blinding white light flickered, and several thigh-thick laser beams sped away into the distance, disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

"The weapon system is normal. Reporting to the navigator, Liu Qingpeng reached out and turned off the insurance.

Although his mission was only to get closer and take a look, no one could guarantee that the UFO had good intentions. The Electric Ray A-1 is equipped with the most powerful extraterrestrial attack weapon currently in the Star Ring Trade, a Model A attack module designed by the Pan-Asian cooperation of the Apocalypse.

If the UFO behaves aggressively after approaching, Warring Trade allows him to decide whether or not to fire back at his discretion.

After breaking free from the gravitational pull of the Earth-Moon system, Liu Qingpeng opened the throttle valve of the engine and accelerated towards the mission marker in the field of view. As soon as the velocity stabilized above the second cosmic velocity, he immediately turned off the throttle and began a long wait.

It took 2.6 million seconds to catch up with the UFO, which is nearly a month when converted into days.

Naturally, this kind of small aircraft cannot have a complete ecological circulation function, and the fresh water, liquid food, and oxygen stored in the case of sufficient electricity are only enough to last for about 15 days. However, Transwarp Trade has specially modified the dormancy chamber for his car, and he will spend a long time in his sleep. When approaching the target, the ground command center will naturally wake him up.

Of course, another possibility is not ruled out.

That's because of force majeure, such as the target's sudden acceleration and change of position, causing him to pass by him. When the ground command center determines that his remaining fuel is no longer able to help him catch up with his target, it will wake him up to return early......

The temperature in the cockpit began to drop, and the life-sustaining device injected a special cell stabilizer into Liu's body.

With his hands off the joystick, his vision began to drift and he eventually fell into darkness.

……

In the ground command center, Jiang Chen frowned at the electric ray A-1 that had successfully entered the orbit, and his clenched fist gradually loosened.

Although he entrusted this matter to Kirwin, he couldn't help but come to the command center on the day the volunteers set sail and watched the hero fly into the distance.

"It's over. Kirwin touched Jiang Chen with his elbow and reminded in a low voice.

Jiang Chen nodded, didn't say anything, and finally glanced at the electric ray A-1 on the holographic screen, turned around and walked out of the command room.

Although there has been no contact with the UFO, this sighting has had a profound impact on the research strategy of the Transwarp trade. According to Jiang Chen's instructions, Kerrwin raised the scientific research budget for the interstellar navigation engine at the first time, and at the same time included the "extraterrestrial attack method" in the scientific research sequence for the first time...... Originally, Jiang Chen planned to slow down first, after all, the existing theoretical science was not enough to support too powerful weapon technology.

It's like black powder is to muskets.

If the formula for gunpowder had not been developed, no matter how much the ancient craftsmen studied the weapon, they would have only sharpened their bows and spears, and could not produce muskets on top of them.

Before the breakthrough of magnetic confinement technology on the post-apocalyptic side, laser weapons were generally regarded as the most promising extraterrestrial attack method, and the Type A attack module designed by the Pan-Asian cooperative was also designed based on this concept. However, after the breakthrough of magnetic confinement technology, plasma guns that directly emit high-temperature plasma have become a more promising option.

Now, however, sharpening the bow and spear has become an imminent choice.

Regardless of whether the UFO is hostile or not, the ring trade, which represents the development of the starry sky on behalf of the earth's civilization, must not be shown to be weak! )
