Chapter 416: Space Chase

The sudden reaction of the Pioneer spacecraft was not expected by the other party in any case, just when the communication was carried out, the Pioneer spacecraft suddenly cut off the communication without warning, at first the other party thought that it was the cause of the communication failure, but then the Pioneer spacecraft turned around at a very fast speed, and detached at a high speed towards the position where the original course target deviated from 45 degrees, and entered the curvature navigation state in a blink of an eye.

It wasn't until the oscillation of the space curvature had not completely dissipated that the opponent came back to his senses, and then the opposing fleet immediately adjusted its course, and the 30 warships also entered the curvature flight state with the goal of the Pioneer spacecraft getting out of direction, and couldn't wait to catch up.

In the Pioneer spaceship, Su Yichen gave a series of orders to Zhi Brain, and he himself sat in front of the main console, controlling the spacecraft with a serious expression. As for Luo Yan also taking position on the right, assisting her husband in controlling the spaceship, both of them knew in their hearts that this was the most dangerous moment they had ever encountered, and if they could not successfully get rid of the pursuers behind them, then the result they faced was very likely to be shipwrecked and killed.

Keda Universe Civilization, this is a second-level cosmic civilization, its civilization technology is basically the same as the Gaia civilization, from the perspective of civilization level, the earth civilization also belongs to the second-level cosmic civilization, but because of the rapid development of these years, the earth civilization has entered the third-level cosmic civilization, from this situation, the technology of the earth civilization is slightly higher than that of the Keda cosmic civilization.

For the earth civilization, the Keda universe civilization is a relatively unfamiliar cosmic civilization, and the two sides have no contact, and there is no direct contact. The existence of this cosmic civilization is only the information of the data, but Su Yichen can guarantee that the grasp of this information should be true.

Just now, the fleet they accidentally encountered belonged to which civilization, Su Yichen didn't know. But when he saw the faces of the soldiers who communicated with him from the three-dimensional projection, he immediately cut off the communication without hesitation and made the decision to flee. The key reason why he did this was the other party's pair of white eyebrows, he didn't know who the other party was, and he had never seen this person in military uniform, but he was deeply impressed by these white eyebrows in his memory.

Remember when they drove the former Vanguard spacecraft to the Blue Star civilization, passing through a small galaxy in the middle of the road. And in this small galaxy, Su Yichen and the others accidentally discovered the wreckage of a commercial spaceship floating in the universe, that is, on this commercial spaceship belonging to the Nimunle cosmic civilization, they obtained many materials and materials, including small pyramids.

When Su Yichen and the others cracked and restored the data storage on the commercial spaceship, they found that the reason why the spaceship of the Nimunle civilization was so damaged, and the real reason why all the people on the ship died was because of an ambush, and it was this well-planned ambush that destroyed the spaceship, and all the people died, becoming a "space coffin" floating in this desolate airspace.

The Nimunle civilization is an ancient cosmic civilization, and he is even more of an old medium cosmic civilization. The cosmic commerce of the Nimunle civilization is developed, and there are merchants of the Nimunle civilization shuttling almost everywhere in the entire galaxy. It is conceivable that this civilization is extremely powerful, and more importantly, Nimunle has mastered the initial transition technology, which is almost close to the technology of the advanced cosmic civilization.

But just like that, the commercial ship of the Nimunle civilization was still ambushed, and judging from the situation at that time, both the captain and the crew reacted in time. But in the end, it fell short, and he was destroyed at the moment when he was about to escape. This led to the tragedy that followed.

With the technology of the Nimunle civilization and the defensive weapons equipped with that advanced commercial spaceship, it is not at all something that the second-level cosmic civilization can compete with, even if this second-level cosmic civilization directly uses dark matter weapons to attack, with the advanced technology of the Nemunle civilization's commercial spaceship, it can escape smoothly. But the final result was the destruction of the ship and the death of people, which is enough to prove that the civilization level of the other party is at least no less than that of the Nimonle civilization, and it is simply impossible for the second-level or even third-level cosmic civilization to achieve.

So. Is the fleet that claimed to be the Keda civilization just now really the Keda civilization? The answer is, of course, no, because the eye-catching white eyebrows of the other party in the communication made Su Yichen think of the tragedy of the commercial spaceship of the Nimunle civilization in an instant, because in the recovered information, he had seen everything that had been ambushed, and the mysterious person who ambushed the commercial spaceship was just like the person he saw in the communication projection just now, and he had a special pair of white eyebrows.

When I saw these white eyebrows. Su Yichen immediately cut off the communication, and at the same time broke away. He could be 100% sure that this fleet pretending to be the Keda civilization would never belong to the Keda Universe civilization, and the other party would casually fabricate his identity just like deceiving the commercial spaceship back then, and once approached by the other party, the consequences could be imagined.

Of course, this is just a guess by Su Yichen, maybe the situation is not what he imagined, or is it just a false alarm? But now Su Yichen didn't dare to make this decision at all, he would rather that his guess was wrong and would never have direct contact with the other party, even if the other party was just passing by by coincidentally to communicate with him, but don't forget that Su Yichen can't guarantee the other party's reaction, and more importantly, the hourglass composed of two small pyramids is on this spaceship, once the other party turns his face, with the power of the Pioneer spaceship, it is absolutely impossible to compete.

It was for these reasons that Su Yichen made this choice and fled with the fastest reaction and speed. If the other party doesn't catch up, then it may be that you have wronged someone, but if the other party reacts and catches up, then the answer is self-evident.

When the Pioneer spacecraft entered the curvature navigation state and began to accelerate at the highest speed, Su Yichen was still observing the situation behind him through the equipment on the spacecraft. Soon, his heart sank, and the worst he had expected was to happen, and after a brief moment of stunned, the opposing fleet quickly reacted, adjusting course and speeding in the direction they were now.

The other party's reaction had confirmed his guess, and Su Yichen was also thinking about how to escape the other party's pursuit while calming down. With the curvature technology of the Pioneer spacecraft, he was not too worried that the other party would be able to catch up with him, because the curvature technology used by his Pioneer spacecraft was completely copied from the most mature curvature technology of the Homeland spacecraft, which was also the highest degree of curvature technology that the Earth civilization could achieve. He is extremely confident in this. With such a mature curvature technology, even if they can't get rid of the opponent's pursuit, at least for a certain period of time, the opponent can't catch up with them.

Indeed, the fleet's reaction could be said to be not satisfied, but when they also entered the curvature state to chase the fleeing Pioneer spacecraft, they found that the distance between the two sides was not closer, on the contrary, the performance of the other party's curvature technology surprised the fleet commander, he never expected that this inconspicuous-looking spacecraft actually had such an excellent curvature flight ability.

"Could it be that the other party is a member of a medium cosmic civilization? Or even more advanced cosmic civilizations? The person who spoke to Su Yichen in the communication was the commander of this fleet, he frowned slightly and thought, and at the same time there was some doubt in his eyes.

It's true that their fleet isn't the fleet of the Keda civilization, but it's just as much a coincidence that they met with the Vanguard spaceship. To be honest, he didn't really have much idea when he communicated with the other party, he just wanted to know where the other party came from, and if the other party was an unknown commercial or scientific research ship passing by, then he could make several choices: ignore it, destroy it directly, or capture it before deciding. Of course, the latter two of these choices are more likely, and they have done this many times.

But the commander did not expect that the other side would cut off the communication first in an unexpected way. Then he resolutely turned around and fled. Does the other party know their identity? Or did he know in advance what decisions he was going to make? The question kept going back and forth in the commander's mind, and he couldn't figure out how this could happen, and he had never encountered such a situation before.

However, as long as these questions are caught up with the other party and captured by the other party, the answers to all the questions will naturally be dug out of the other party's mouth. Both the commander and his subordinates were very convinced of this result, but when they entered the curvature flight state to catch up, they were surprised to find that the speed of the opponent's spaceship was slightly faster than their warship, although the speed difference was not very obvious, but it was necessary to know that the opponent was only a civilian (commercial) spaceship. And they are warships!

"Keep up the speed! They must be caught! ”

The commander gave the order to continue accelerating, and his interest in the Vanguard spacecraft increased. A strange spaceship, most likely a medium or even higher cosmic civilization, turned around and fled at the sight of them, and its curvature technology was so advanced that it contained so much information that he had to make sense of it all.

But no matter how the fleet accelerated, they still didn't get closer to the position of the Vanguard spaceship, and even the distance was slightly longer as the Vanguard continued to accelerate. When it was learned that the fleet speed had been increased to the maximum. The commander was even a little stunned in his heart, he couldn't figure out what cosmic civilization the other party was.

However, one thing is certain, the other party's cosmic civilization will definitely not be higher than them, because until now, the other party has not used the jump technique to escape. For a fleet with leap technology, the other party is very likely to be only a medium-level cosmic civilization, and the most likely is a fourth-level cosmic civilization or a fifth-level cosmic civilization. Otherwise, the other party will not flee in a hurry without using the more direct and convenient jump technique.

But now, the situation between the two sides has formed a stalemate, Su Yichen and their Vanguard can't completely get rid of the pursuit even if they increase their speed to the maximum in the curvature state, and the fleet behind them can't catch up with the Vanguard spaceship, but it still follows closely. It's like two marathon runners, with the Pioneer in front and the fleet behind, comparing their respective endurance, if the Vanguard's curvature engine has a slight problem, or if the power of its ship fails, then the fleets behind can take this opportunity to intercept the Vanguard's way.

One might say, why didn't the fleet chasing the Vanguard spacecraft use jump technology to intercept it? People who say this kind of thing may not understand the difference between a three-dimensional universe and a flat plane. The whole universe is three-dimensional, which is very different from the two-dimensional in the plane, in which any direction can be broken through and detached, and the reliable interception is not as simple as in the two-dimensional plane. In addition, although the jumping technology is advanced, it is indispensable for long-distance space voyages, but it is not practical in pursuit.

The characteristic of the transition technology is to directly fold the three-dimensional point surface for spatial breakthrough, so as to shorten the original long distance, but this technology is also destined to make the jump distance can not be a short range of distance, it is only suitable for long-distance flight. For example, when human beings first entered the space age, that is, in the late stage of primitive civilization, human beings in space, whether they used rocket propulsion or spacecraft propulsion, were the most basic space technology. It's like walking as a person, taking the first step in the universe with two feet.

Later, humans began to use controlled fusion engines, which means that humans switched from relying on their feet to bicycles, and their durability and speed have increased a lot. The curvature flight after that is like replacing a bicycle with a car, being able to reach its destination longer distances and faster speeds. In this way of comparison, then the jump technology is equivalent to an airplane, the speed of the plane is of course faster and faster than any car, relying on the car to drive the place that takes dozens of hours or even dozens of days to reach the plane only takes dozens of minutes or ten hours. But the bicycle can catch up with the walking, the car can catch up with the bicycle, but I have never heard of the plane chasing the car, the reason is very simple, the speed of the plane is too fast, and the shortest distance required between take-off and landing is also more than the distance of the car, in this case it is impossible to intercept the spacecraft in the curvature flight with jump technology, and more importantly, in the three-dimensional space, the spacecraft can adjust the course at any time in the curvature flight state, once the course is adjusted, If you use the leap technique, even if you rush to the front, it will be useless.

Now, in this airspace, the Vanguard spacecraft is in front, and behind it is a fleet of chasing, one to escape, one to capture, and either side is doing its best. (To be continued......)
