863 Unknown Star Field

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yan finally woke everyone up, fortunately, most of the people on the ship were fine, especially the equipment in the infirmary was miraculously not too damaged, which was definitely a great luck in misfortune, especially when the support would arrive was not clear, a complete infirmary could maximize the survival chances of everyone on the entire ship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's for everyone on the Hawkeye.

However, for everyone on the ship, the feeling of luck and misfortune is different.

For Xiao Yan, there were no major problems with the Hawkeye, and it was the greatest luck that all the personnel on it were basically intact, at least the people under his command were still alive and did not repeat the tragedy of the annihilation of the entire army in the Star War.

For Tan Zhenwen, the biggest misfortune is that most of the detection systems on the reconnaissance ship have problems and cannot work normally, fortunately, the power commander's report on the Eagle Eye Most of the maintenance robots on the ship are still in good condition, and all kinds of spare parts are still sufficient.

Of course, the first thing to repair is obviously not the observation equipment, but the gravity equipment on the ship, and long-term weightlessness will not only affect the work efficiency of the maintenance robot, but also bring some negative physical reactions to the astronauts on the ship.

Even if Tan Zhenwen was in a hurry, he could only respect the choice of the ship's power commander. After all, it's the best option.

It's just that he knows that he may really be in a brand new star field, but because most of the equipment on the ship has problems, not being able to take a look really makes Tan Zhenwen feel very difficult.

The ship's communications officer sat in front of his place, fiddling with various communications equipment.

The ship's surveillance system and radar system are all in a state of failure, which makes it completely impossible for everyone on the ship to understand the specific situation outside the ship, but according to the scene before everyone falls unconscious, there must be friendly forces in the same situation as them, and what the communications officer on the Hawkeye is doing now is to see if he can contact the friendly ship that also has the same experience.

In times of crisis like this, it is best to have access to external information.

And the first mate Andre was checking the damage to the engines, and when the navigation, monitoring, and radar systems needed to move the spacecraft to resume their functions, he had to provide Xiao Yan with the most scientific advice, such as which engines were available, how much power they could use, and how much speed they could reach.

As for the weapons officer, he began to verify the extent of damage to the weapons on board the ship, one by one.

Although the main task of the reconnaissance ship is to undertake various reconnaissance tasks, from the design point of view, there are no particularly powerful weapons at all, but it still installs some self-protection weapons, small energy cannons, and carries small high-precision quantum-guided missiles. These small arms do not occupy a lot of space, and they can be regarded as giving the reconnaissance ship a certain amount of self-protection.

Xiao Yan, as the captain of the ship, acted as the shopkeeper and accompanied Tan Zhenwen to the isolation area on the top floor of the ship.

For those on board, it is preferred to refer to the quarantine area as an observation deck.

Because the entire isolation area, except for the part connected to the ship itself, is composed of fully transparent high-strength nanoglass, you can see the scene of 270 degrees outside the ship.

In fact, everything outside the ship is not visible from the command cabin.

In the vast universe, a transparent front windshield design is completely unnecessary. Whether it is reconnaissance or combat, it has long exceeded the limit of the visual range of human beings themselves, and as far as the various weapons on board the ship are concerned, the minimum range is also thousands of kilometers, and it is not a joke to rely on the human eye to identify various situations.

To protect the personnel on board, the command module is often located in the center of the ship's belly. Moreover, all reconnaissance ships are designed in such a way that the entire command compartment can be separated from the ship in a crisis situation. Therefore, the entire Hawkeye only has the entire isolation layer, and the scenery outside the ship can be seen with the naked eye.

In the command module, a holographic projection system is relied on to simulate the scene outside the ship.

After learning that all the detection and radar systems on the ship had to be repaired before they could be used, Tan Zhenwen asked Xiao Yan to bring him here.

For the time being, he can't rely on various technological products to understand the external situation, and Tan Zhenwen doesn't mind observing the outside world with his eyes first.

"We're definitely not in the Jupiter system anymore!" Putting down the special binoculars, Tan Zhenwen stabilized his floating body and affirmed.

"What?! You came to such a conclusion after watching it for a long time? You scientists...... ......, I thought you were looking at where our friendly ships were! Xiao Yan had a crooked nose with an expression that was about to be distorted, let go of the hand that had been trying to soothe Tan Zhenwen, snatched the telescope from Tan Zhenwen's hand, and looked out himself.

Xiao Yan is serious, he really can't understand Tan Zhenwen's thinking mode.

Isn't the first priority to find comrades who are also in danger? As a result, this guy is actually analyzing where he is! What are these brain circuits?

"Don't look at it, you want to spot ships floating in the universe with this telescope alone? It's like standing on the east coast of the United States and trying to see the cruising fleet of China in the South Seas with a telescope. Tan Zhenwen said disdainfully.

Indeed, in fact, this kind of telescope is no different from observing with the naked eye, except that it is more sensitive to light, and it is more suitable for observing in the vacuum environment of the universe.

But all around it was a silent void, with countless intricate and staccato lines in the telescope, which were remnant energy reactions, and in the distance there were stars in the sky, and there seemed to be no stars nearby.

Of course, this is actually a very normal situation in the universe, the universe is too big, even if it is a dense belt of asteroids, it is not too unusual to have only one asteroid in a million kilometers of space. It's as if the sun, which we can see every day, is nearly 150 million kilometers away from the earth. The radius of the earth, which feeds 7 billion earthlings, is only more than 6,000 kilometers, and it is nothing more than a gravel existence in the vast universe.

And in space, when it comes to distance, you have to use light years as a concept, and one light year is almost nearly a billion kilometers.

Although the human eye does not have a far-reaching limit, as long as it captures the existence of light, it can react, but the distance is too far, and what humans can see is just a point of light, what is the meaning?

As for finding your friendly ship through a telescope, it's really just a joke.

Not to mention that the reflection rate of the exterior coating of all the reconnaissance ships is extremely low, and now these friendly ships will not be in a better situation than the Hawkeye, in the vast void, they can be found with a telescope, unless the two ships are exactly in the same position, of course, the same position here does not mean that everyone is next to each other, but within a hundred kilometers apart, so maybe some clues can be observed through the naked eye, otherwise it can only be a fool's dream.

But obviously, when the unprepared reconnaissance ship was thrown out of the wormhole, the direction was random, at least after looking around, Xiao Yan had to give up the search.

"Well, in that case, how do you know we're not in the Jupiter system now?"

"Because I can't see Jupiter's orbit!" Tan Zhenwen was slightly excited, "We were only about eight million kilometers away from Jupiter before we were attacked by a sudden burst of energy, even if we were assumed to be thrown out by the sudden burst of energy tides, but in the entire Jupiter system, there is no other space planet as dense as we see now." You must know that there are 70 moons in the entire Jupiter system, and the most important thing is that I can't observe the existence of Jupiter's orbit, you should also know how big Jupiter is, and the thirteen Earths are added together, if we are still in the Jupiter system, there is no reason why we can't observe the traces of Jupiter's existence at all! ”

"Not to mention that I'm very familiar with the planetary layout of the entire Jupiter system! But as far as I can observe, I can't find a trace of the Jupiter system at all, so as far as the current situation is concerned, the biggest possibility is that we were hit by a sudden burst of energy, but instead of being pushed away, we were attracted by this energy, and we rushed into the wormhole, and then reached a star field that is completely unknown to us! That's the most reasonable explanation! And based on the movements of the other friendly ships that we observed before we were hit by the energy tide, it is clear that my judgment was correct! Aren't you excited? We passed through an unknown wormhole passage alive and arrived at an unknown star field that no one had reached before, so we are likely to refresh a new history of Earth civilization and be the first explorers to reach a brand new star field! ”

Compared with Tan Zhenwen's excitement, Xiao Yan just smiled bitterly after listening to the astrophysicist's analysis.

Although the possibility of such an outcome had been expected for a long time, it was undoubtedly the worst for the Hawkeye and other friendly ships that were sucked into the wormhole. Passing through the wormhole means that he has completely lost contact with the mothership, without any backup, the situation on the ship is still a mess, this situation has just left the earth, Xiao Yan can't think of anything worse than this!

Compared with what makes history, Xiao Yan hopes to bring all the crew members of the Hawkeye back to Expedition No. 1 safely, everyone is like in Xingyao City, training together, going to have a drink together in their spare time, and they can also go on missions together, even if they are doomed, at least they must follow the large army.

This may be the difference in outlook on life and values, even if everyone comes together because of like-mindedness, but as an intelligent life, each conscious individual will definitely have different ideas in one way or another, which is unavoidable.

Especially the scientists on board, whose goals are clearly purer than most. Although everyone has great respect for these scientists, it is at least the consensus of everyone on board that they have promoted the evolution of the entire human civilization. However, when it comes to this life-and-death crisis, it is inevitable that there will be a collision of ideas.

"Let's not talk about pioneers, or making history or anything, I'm like asking, how likely do you think we are to return to Expedition One safely this time?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yan's question obviously made Tan Zhenwen stunned, as if Xiao Yan felt that Tan Zhenwen's idea was very radical, Tan Zhenwen also felt that Xiao Yan's question was very disturbing at this time.

Arriving at a brand new star field, don't you want to explore and research first? What the hell is it that you just want to hurry back?

"It's hard for me to answer this question, the key depends on what the situation is on the mothership's side! If they choose to rush into the wormhole to rescue us, it will be easy for us to meet them, the structure of Expedition 1 is more stable, given that we can all pass through the wormhole intact, the load of Expedition 1 through the wormhole will definitely be smaller and safer, so there will be no loss to the mothership after crossing, all kinds of equipment will definitely be able to use normally, and good detection equipment can easily find us. And to the rescue! But if we want to return to Jupiter's system through a wormhole on our own, it will be too difficult. You also know that in the current situation of the Hawkeye, the main engine itself has failed, and various systems have also had problems, and it is completely gambling to wear it back under such conditions! I even doubt that Hawkeye can reach the minimum speed of crossing the wormhole now, knowing that if it does not pass through the wormhole at a certain speed, it will be directly blown to pieces by the energy reaction on the surface of the wormhole! So my suggestion is that we first honestly set up some probes here, collect as much information about this field as possible, and see if it can overlap with the information in our database, so as to determine where we are! ”

"Even if we really arrive at a star field that we have never observed, then if we do a good job of observation, at least we can get first-hand information about this star field, if Expedition 1 really crosses the wormhole to rescue us, the information we collect will greatly shorten the time for Expedition 1 to understand this star field, and buy more time for our mothership!"

Tan Zhenwen's words fell, and the communicator on Xiao Yan's body suddenly sounded, and the next moment, the voice of the power commander echoed throughout the quarantine area.

"Captain Xiao, the gravity hammer has been repaired, and the spaceship will soon recover the gravity system in 30 seconds, you can be careful, if there is anything around you that can be grasped, just grasp it, don't fall again!"

"Roger! If only you let the others be careful! ”

Tan Zhenwen's face was overjoyed, the gravity hammer was repaired, which is good news, not only can people not float in the air, but more importantly, those maintenance robots can finally free up their hands to repair other systems, such as detection systems and radar systems, these are what Tan Zhenwen values most at the moment.

Looking at the joy on Tan Zhenwen's face, Xiao Yan was still just helpless, what he wanted to know most at this time was what choice Wang Shizi on Expedition No. 1 would make?
