Chapter 419: Life and Death

The universe is still so quiet, as if it has never changed since eternity, every small galaxy, nebula, star, planet...... They all operate according to their own laws, as if they will always be.

But the universe is not calm, and the entire universe is changing every moment, including the universe itself. But such a change is very small for the huge universe, just like a war of hundreds of millions of people broke out on the earth, but such a war is a small matter for the solar system, and the location of the solar system in the cantilevered arm of the Milky Way is even smaller, and for the entire galaxy and even the entire universe, this tragic war is as small as a drop of water in the sea.

But for the scene of the incident, it is different, no matter how small the event is, from the individual point of view, it has a huge impact, just like now, everything that happened in this small galaxy is the most important thing for Su Yichen and Luo Yan, including the Pioneer spaceship they piloted.

"The space oscillation is close to the critical point, the curvature is seriously unstable, alarm! Alert! ”

When the White Eyebrow's fleet encounters a sudden accident, the Vanguard spaceship's internal intelligence brain also emits a similar alarm. The entire Vanguard spacecraft was crumbling in space oscillations, and the curvature of the spacecraft was in a state of flight that was forcibly thrown away at any time.

"Yichen ......." Luo Yan held Su Yichen's hand tightly, she was obviously a little nervous. A few minutes before they were safe, they were firmly secured in their chairs. The situation they are facing now can be said to have been predicted a long time ago, and even Su Yichen and they did it on purpose, when the spacecraft entered the small galaxy, the Pioneer spacecraft flew towards the huge star without hesitation, and the reason why Su Yichen did this was to use this huge star to completely get rid of the other party's pursuit.

Everything was as Su Yichen had planned, and he was constantly adjusting his course in the universe. Including deliberately letting the pursuing fleet behind them close the distance between the two sides, waiting for now. Don't look at the Pioneer spacecraft has adjusted its course many times these days, but each time the course adjustment is carefully calculated, and the ultimate goal of the Pioneer spacecraft is to be close to this star.

These days of escaping, Su Yichen has already determined one thing, that is, it is absolutely impossible for them to rely on the technology of the Vanguard spacecraft to escape the pursuit of the other party. So he had to come up with something else. And this small galaxy, including this giant star in the small galaxy, gave him an inspiration to use this star for an almost impossible task.

The principle is very simple, the reason why curvature flight is called curvature flight is that the spacecraft uses the ubiquitous curvature in the universe to make the spacecraft reach superluminal speed in a curvature state. In other words, the most critical thing in this way of flight is curvature, and the level of curvature technology also lies in capturing curvature and using curvature to fly at high speed.

This kind of technology is already a very mature technology for the cosmic civilization of the galaxy, and the relatively higher transition technology and curvature technology are more safe and reliable. But the problem is that the curvature will also change. For example, the influence of cosmic particles, the effect of cosmic radiation, and even the impact of explosions when stars disappear, can lead to the destruction of curvature. Of course, in some cases, these factors can even affect the jump flight, let alone the curvature flight state. But the probability of these scenarios is extremely low, for example, like flying on Earth in the past. The probability of an accident with an airplane is very small, and in the universe. The probability of causing curvature flight to be affected is even lower, and the higher the curvature technology mastered, the less this happens, so little that it is almost negligible.

However, no matter how small this probability is, it still exists, and no matter how safe it is to fly, there is always a certain degree of danger, and no cosmic civilization can absolutely guarantee the absolute safety of their navigation in the universe. The word absolute does not exist in the universe at all.

The reason why the Pioneer spacecraft ventured in this way was to borrow the power of this massive star to disrupt the curvature of the balance. Whether it is the Vanguard spaceship or the white-eyed fleet battleship, although ordinary stars will have an impact on their curvature state, from the perspective of the technology of both sides, such an impact is still within the tolerable range. But this time is different. This huge star is far more impressive in size and mass than ordinary stars, and the fact that it is a young star and has extremely violent "solar winds" and sunspots on the surface of the star have caused extreme instability in the airspace around it. What's more, its mass also affects the oscillation of space. According to Einstein's theory, when the mass of an object reaches an extremely large level, its own gravitational pull causes a distortion of space, which also affects the change of time.

This theory is the basic theory of general physics and astrophysics on Earth, and it has also been proven. After careful calculation, Su Yichen finally selected a route, which will fly over the edge of this huge star, and when flying over the edge, a series of factors generated by this huge star will inevitably cause great changes in space and curvature.

Under normal circumstances, if the spacecraft falls into a normal flight state due to engine failure, it will not have any bad consequences, and it is a big deal to continue flying in a normal flight state for the time being, or start the spare curvature engine to enter the curvature state again. But there is a key point not to forget, that is, in the current situation, all the spacecraft are on the edge of the huge star, although it is only the edge area, but because of the huge mass and strong gravitational pull of the star, the consequences of being forcibly pulled out of the curvature state and falling into the ordinary flight state are extremely terrible.

First, the attraction of the star will immediately catch the ship that falls into normal flight, causing it to lose flight control. Second, the "solar wind" of the star and the various cosmic particles and radiation caused by sunspots will greatly affect the structure of the spacecraft, thus destroying its internal electronic equipment, including the engine. Eventually, even if it escapes the capture and destruction of the star, the ship will lose its original speed and direction, and it will be at least a long time before it gets rid of everything and determines its course again.

This is an extremely risky move, in case the calculation is wrong. The Pioneer spacecraft, including Su Yichen and his wife, will be buried here. But the current situation does not allow them to have any other choice, they can only take one adventure, and only such an adventure can completely rid them of the enemy behind them.

Moreover, Su Yichen made a decision after many calculations about the certainty of such a risk. Su Yichen is not a fool either, it is impossible for him to blindly take his beloved wife to do the adventure of ten deaths. If that's the case, it's simply no longer an adventure, it's a suicidal act. It was precisely because he had a certain degree of certainty that he would choose to do this, and Luo Yan also listened to Su Yichen's reason for taking risks, and then agreed to her husband's suggestion after using her knowledge of mathematics to make many calculations.

The Pioneer spacecraft was crumbling at the critical point of curvature, and could be forcibly thrown out of the curvature state at any time and anywhere, and thus fall into a normal flight state. However, Su Yichen, who was clasping his hands, was unswerving, they would eventually pass this hurdle, as long as they passed. The sea and the sky will be wide in front of you.

Compared to the Pioneer spaceship in front, the white-eyed fleet chasing behind them was even worse. In the blink of an eye, four battleships fell from the curvature state into the ordinary flight state, two of them were instantly captured by the powerful attraction of the star, and the battleship that lost control was like a shapeless line being pulled, accelerating at a high speed in the direction of the star in an ordinary flight state, which was getting faster and faster, almost to a degree that could not be achieved by ordinary engines. In this case. Even if their engines were restored, there was nothing they could do, and the end result was to crash headfirst into a star. Become an inconspicuous fire in space.

In fact, it is impossible for a battleship to hit a star, because of the huge mass and gravity of the star, it has been accumulated by mass and gravity long before the battleship hits the surface of the star, and the huge battleship will eventually be forcibly squeezed into a very small mass, and then melted by the extremely high temperature outside the surface of the star, and finally become the most primitive atoms and molecules. Be part of the star.

When the four battleships were forcibly thrown out of the curvature state and fell into the normal flight state, the rest of the battleships were not much better, and the captains of the battleships were trying their best to control the flight state of the battleships, but the problem was that the power of the stars to destroy the curvature flight was too great. Their best efforts could not save their final fate.

Soon, several more battleships were forcibly thrown out of the curvature state one after another, seeing more and more battleships falling into the ordinary navigation state, Bai Mei's eyes were going to turn red, he could not have imagined that his powerful fleet would be buried in this remote place in such a crooked way, this was simply a humiliation, a humiliation of him and his civilization in the lowest way.

"Your Excellency, I suggest that the battleship immediately start the jump engine, and we won't be able to support it for long if it goes on like this." The captain of the flagship's face turned pale, and the alarm of the wisdom brain kept ringing in his ears, if it wasn't for the position of the flagship leaning a little farther away from the outer side of the star, then they would have fallen like the battleships that were forcibly thrown out of the curvature state. In this case, the captain couldn't think of anything to do, and the only way to escape from this dangerous situation was to force the jump engine to start.

However, this is also very dangerous, because forcing the jump engine to start is equivalent to choosing a random point in the universe to jump, which means that they have no idea where the jump will go after flying. In addition, at present, due to the influence of stars, the surrounding space oscillations are very serious, which will also affect the accuracy of the jump flight, and perhaps when they jump and fly, they will encounter more terrible results, such as hitting a star or planet headlong, maybe running into an area where there is no star map, or even .......

But in any case, it's always a solution, and it's better than being helpless right now. The captain clearly knew that the ship's situation would not last long, and if he didn't make a decision, the entire fleet would be finished.

Bai Mei is not a fool, he also has a wealth of experience, and he can judge what the captain can think of. This is not the time to hesitate, as soon as the captain's voice fell, Bai Mei immediately made a decision, he ordered all the warships that still maintained the curvature to escape from this place in a jump, as for how many warships can escape in the end, or where they will eventually jump to, then we have to wait until it is safe to consider this issue.

The remaining ships of the fleet began to urgently activate the jump engines, but in the process, several ships were forcibly thrown out of the curvature state, and thus fell into a normal flight state. At this time, Bai Mei couldn't take care of it, he stared at the countdown in front of him, at this time he had never felt that time was so slow, every vibration of the battleship, including the cold reminders and alarms of Zhi Brain, made him feel anxious.

When the countdown came to the final end, and the jump channel in front of the battleship had been opened, the fleet of 30 warships was less than half of the number at this moment, and this half of the number of warships was also on the verge of crisis.

Finally, the first flagship that forcibly started the jump finally got into the jump channel, only to see an electronic light shining back and forth in the channel, and the huge battleship squeezed in as if it couldn't wait, and the surrounding space oscillated violently, the channel began to close, and the bright light flashed, and the flagship finally escaped.

Let's not talk about how the white-eyed fleet entered the jump passage one by one to escape, or failed to jump at the last moment, and was still forcibly thrown out. The Pioneer spacecraft was still crumbling and flying ahead at the critical point of curvature.

Compared with Bai Mei's fleet, the Pioneer spaceship does not have the ability to jump, but its curvature engine technology is more perfect, and this is the reason why the Pioneer spacecraft can barely maintain a normal curvature state in the face of a huge disaster for Bai Mei's fleet, which is also an important reason why Su Yichen and Luo Yan finally decided to take risks.

They chose this route, flying at this angle and direction, controlling the curvature state at the critical point. This is a risk, and it is also because of this that the white-eyed fleet, which is slightly inferior in curvature technology, is facing a huge crisis, and is finally forced to flee in this way.

Now, the danger has not passed, Su Yichen and Luo Yan don't care about looking at the situation of the White Eyebrow fleet at all, the two of them are engrossed in manipulating the Vanguard, always paying attention to the critical point of curvature.

I don't know how much time has passed, but finally the alarm sound of the brain has disappeared, and the critical point of curvature flight has gradually returned to normal, and at this moment they have passed the most difficult level, and the Pioneer spacecraft has passed this huge star in the universe, and continues to move towards the peaceful and dark depths of the universe ahead......
