Shangs once heard of a theory called Murphy's Law.

If something has the potential to go bad, then it must go in the worst direction.

After three days of peaceful driving, the fleet came to an abrupt halt.

Among the fleets dispatched by the security guards this time, as the flagship is a light ship named Good Luck, which is also the best equipped ship in the fleet.

Now the screen is a message from the Good Luck number.

"There is a meteorite group ahead, it is expected to arrive in an hour, please follow the pilot ship to avoid it."

Below is a series of heading numbers jù.

Pouring these coordinates into the pilotage system, Shang Si habitually let the Raven's light brain simulate the star field situation on the route. The simulated situation made Shang Si frown.

According to the number of voyages, in order to avoid the meteorite group, they need to deviate from their original course and lean towards the edge of the route.

There's a young star here, and it's in its active period, ready to storm and destroy a piece of electronic equipment passing by.

It's not a good idea to get close to the realm of such a star.

Shang Si wrote his thoughts into a short report and sent it to the flagship Good Luck number. He was soon answered, but the captain of the Good Fortune, who was also the commander-in-chief of the fleet, refused to allow him to change his direction of evasion. The reason is simple: the original plan had the shortest distance, and recent detections have shown that the star is now in a stable state. Shangsi's plan is a waste of time and energy, and it is purely unfounded.

Shang Si sighed, he also hoped that he was thinking too much.

……

"I'm so sleepy......" Yan Kou dozed off on the console.

The head of Arnold next to him is like a chicken pecking rice, little by little.

The two of them had only been asleep for two hours when they were suddenly woken up.

"Say, what did the captain call us to do?" Arnold asked, after nearly falling out of his chair again.

"Hmm......" Yan Kou wiped his face, trying to sober himself up, "It's because the fleet changed direction just now." ”

Yan Kou had just arrived at the spaceship command room, so he was still a little confused about the current situation.

Now the fleet is smoothly navigating through space, nothing has happened, and radar detection has not found anything abnormal.

But the team leader obviously found something wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have put the Raven on Level 5 alert.

So he looked at Xiao Yi, who had arrived before him.

Xiao Yi called up the image of this star field on the small screen, and then pointed to a place. "We're heading towards this place."

Yan Kou glanced at it twice, then touched his chin: "Who chose this path, it's really bold enough." ”

“？” When Arnold heard Yan Kou's words, he stared at the star map with his sleepy eyes wide open, but he didn't see anything wrong with it.

"Although this road is close to the edge, there is no complicated gravitational zone around it, so it is still very safe." Arnold was puzzled.

"Stupid!" Yan Kou raised his hand and flicked him a brain.

"Hit me again!" Arnold was knocked to tears. "What did I say wrong......

"Call you stupid and you still don't admit it." Yan Kou stretched out his hand and poked the screen, "Do you just see the small area of the route?" You look into the distance. ”

Arnold followed his finger and looked over: "Stellar 8931? What's wrong with it? Although it is an unstable star, first, the nearest star field has detected that it will be in a short-term stable period in this decade, and second, even if it suddenly erupts, we are far enough away from it. ”

"You can see that, it's not bad." Yan Kou said, "But you overlooked one thing. ”

Yan Kou made a catch-up gesture with his two hands, and then clicked a string of numbers on the keyboard.

A scene is simulated on the screen.

"Wouldn't we be close enough to it?"

Just as Arnold's eyes widened, a warning suddenly sounded inside the Raven.

"Warning, a large group of unidentified objects has appeared in the direction of the front of the fleet, which is moving towards us at high speed, and it is expected to make contact with our fleet within twenty minutes."

……

Lucky.

As the command ship of the fleet this time, there was a panic in the command room that should have been orderly.

"What's going on!"

The captain of the Lucky, who is also the commander-in-chief of the fleet, reek Revich, shouted.

"Who is the navigator on duty?!"

"Yes...... I. Frightened by the captain's anger, the navigator of the Lucky spacecraft stood up with some cringe.

"What's the matter with you! How did it take until now to detect the location of the meteorite! Did you sleep dead on the job?! Levich yelled.

"I didn't ......," the navigator wanted to cry aggrievedly, "the radar didn't show this meteorite ...... at all at first"

"You're fart!" Levich burst out foul mouth, "Such a large meteorite, the radar will not be able to detect it?!" Unless it's out of order! ”

The navigator wanted to say that the radar really seemed to be out of order just now, but he was so frightened by the red-eyed captain that he didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, the deputy captain appeared and saved the poor man.

"Lake, calm down." Terry Sinard said. "It's not the navigator's fault."

"You see, it's not just the Lucky's radar that didn't find the meteorite, it's that all the ships didn't find it."

Hearing the words of the deputy captain, Revich glared fiercely at the navigator who had tears falling from his eyes, and snorted before going to contact the pilot ship.

Vice Captain Terry smiled comfortingly at the poor navigator before going about his business.

The navigator was grateful, and when he returned to his post, he was still thinking about the gentle smile of the deputy captain.

Vice Captain Terry is such a nice guy.

Alas, the captain would be better if he were him......

……

The crew on the Lucky was so busy that no one dared to make themselves look idle. After all, everyone until Captain Levich was a short-tempered man, and he was clearly in a bad temper now.

If you don't want to be punished inexplicably, then it's best to be obedient at this time.

Revich sat at the podium, looking intently at the star map in front of him. Vice Captain Terry stood aside.

"The meteorite group came from this direction, it was twenty stars long and seven stars wide, and after the fleet entered the meteorite group, it was six .seven stars away from the right edge and zero three stars from the left edge." Terry pointed to the front of the fleet, "We'll be in contact in less than twenty minutes." Meteorites move too fast and fast. ”

Now start sailing the fleet to the left, and when the meteorite group comes, the position of the fleet will be about the edge of the meteorite group, and you only need to drive for another ten minutes to leave the meteorite group.

In that case, though, they seemed to be getting a little closer to the star.

Revich thought of this, and then asked, "What is the thickness of the meteorite group?" ”

"According to the information detected, the meteorite group is more than ten star miles thick. When the fleet enters the meteorite group, the fleet is six star miles away from the upper edge of the meteorite group, and the lower edge is analyzed in the star mile. Terry replied.

With this thickness, twenty minutes the fleet is impenetrable. Revich thought, then, now, can only sail in the direction of the stars.

Although the explosion of the star at this distance can already cause danger to the fleet, the star is still in a quiet period, and the probability of an explosion is very small. And even if it erupts, there is a limit to the danger that this distance can cause.

Revich thought for a moment, then ordered all ships to sail at full speed in the direction of star 8931.

……

"Boss Yan, you are so powerful!" Arnold said loudly.

"Where, where!" Yan Kou said, but his face showed a smug color.

"You're embarrassed too." Xiao Yi tapped on the keyboard, "Old Yan, you're too thick-skinned." You just predicted a meteorite swarm? ”

Yan Kou's old face was red by Xiao's fragile face, but he still stiffened his mouth: "Although my prediction is that the pirate ship will appear and drive our fleet in the direction of the 8931 star...... But! The same is true of meteorite swarms! Don't you think we're moving in the direction of the star now? ”

"You think this is a pirate conspiracy?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile. "Not a natural accident?"

Although Yan Kou knew that there was also such a possibility, but now...... "It's a pirate conspiracy!" You see, our fleet didn't need anyone to rush it, and it jumped into the pit at full speed. ”

"You're sure." Xiao Yi had a hint of banter.

His men kept calling up the Raven's radar system and conducting a careful inspection.

After a while, Xiao Yi's face became stern.

"Captain," Xiao Yi opened the communication, "Are the star maps of the Mandela Star Field all uploaded from the Lucky One?" ”

"Yes." Shang Si received Xiao Yi's communication, and was a little strange why he asked that.

Xiao Yi's face became even heavier.

"Our star map, there's a problem."

"What?!" Shang Si was shocked.

Navigating in space is a very dangerous thing, once you lose your course, then in the vast starry sky, you may not even be able to find your original place, and even until the energy is exhausted, floating in the dark space for thousands of years, no one will find out.

Not to mention that some spaceships can't even wait to run out of energy before they are torn to shreds by terrifying celestial bodies like black holes.

Therefore, the importance of star charts is self-evident.

Originally, such a thing should not have happened, in the Shengyue Federation, most of the star fields that allow civilian spacecraft to sail have very detailed star maps. But now it is in the province of Mandela in the Republic of Kullu.

The official only has a simple, even rudimentary star map, although I don't know if there is more detailed in their army, but the star map released now can play a very limited role for civilian navigation.

Therefore, for the Raven to travel in this area, of course, a more detailed star map is needed.

This star map is provided by the entire security company that hires them. Their fleet has received escort missions from this star field more than once, so they have a much better understanding of the situation in the star field. But after all, the star map was drawn by them and had commercial value, so what was provided to Shang Si was better than the official map of Kuru, and the more detailed ones would not be revealed.

But even with such a star map, there are still problems.

Did Wei Baoquan deliberately give them the wrong star map, or even the star map on their flagship, it was wrong!
