The Pioneer spacecraft was still shuttling in curvature, and Su Yichen, who was like an arrow, felt for the first time that the curvature technology was still so slow, compared to the endless universe, the power of human beings was so small, even if it was a Blue Star civilization that was more advanced than the Earth civilization, as a member of the lower cosmic civilization, in front of them who had not mastered the leap technology, the distance was simply an insurmountable chasm.

"How long will it take to get to the Oort Nebula?" Retracting his gaze to look outside, there was still the same distorted starlight outside the spaceship, Su Yichen couldn't help but ask again.

He has asked this sentence many times, especially in the past month or so. However, not far from his side, Su Li still answered his question accurately.

"37 days, 21 hours, 45 seconds......."

"It's more than a month ......." Su Yichen shook his head slightly, since receiving the information from the earth, the Pioneer spacecraft has rushed towards the earth at the fastest speed, these days they have been flying in a state of curvature with the spacecraft of the Blue Star civilization, except for a short stop and a necessary inspection in the middle, almost no time has been wasted.

But even so, the way back is too far, according to calculations, when the Pioneer spacecraft returns to the solar system, the war between the Earth civilization and the Gaia civilization may have broken out, as for what kind of result this war will end in, and whether the Earth civilization can continue, Su Yichen himself can't answer this question.

"We still have the Pluto base, and the earth base, and after suffering so much, our civilization will definitely continue!" Luo Yan comforted him softly, what she said was actually the only sustenance in Su Yichen's heart. Oh, yes! The powerful Rand civilization left a fortune to the Earth civilization, and this wealth is the Pluto base and the earth base. But when he is not in the solar system as a temporary candidate, will the two bases be able to save the earth's civilization from danger like last time? What worries Su Yichen even more is the Earth Base, since the last time the Earth Base was attacked by the dark matter of the Gaia civilization, he took the initiative to wake up from dormancy, but Su Yichen knew very well that unlike the Pluto Base, he only temporarily held the authority of the Earth Base. And it will only be activated to a certain extent, that is to say, if the earth base does not suffer a devastating blow, the dormant state of the earth base will continue, and according to the general principles of cosmic civilization, the Gaia civilization will never be stupid enough to take the initiative to use similar dark matter to directly attack the earth, then the earth civilization will continue to remain dormant.

Relying only on the power of the Pluto base, the earth civilization can only protect the airspace near the Pluto base at most, and as for the home planet of mankind, the earth, once it is broken through by the Gaia civilization. Then the consequences are unimaginable.

In the face of all this, Su Yichen and they couldn't do anything, and now no means could change what might happen, all they could do was to rush back as soon as possible, and stop everything from happening at the worst moment.

Indeed, the location of the Pioneer spacecraft from Earth is too far away, and the distance between the two sides makes it difficult to transmit information, which is faster at the current speed of the Pioneer spacecraft. This is also the reason why Su Yichen made the decision to return to Earth at the highest speed.

"We're not far from the solar system, aren't we?" Tang Le didn't know when he arrived on the bridge, he first looked at the strange and distorted scene outside. Then he asked.

"Is that a problem?" Su Li asked rhetorically on the side, and before Tang Le could answer, she directly reported the time when she was about to arrive on the Oort Nebula.

Tang Le was stunned for a moment, with a crying and laughing expression on his face, he had been with Su Li for a long time, and he had long known that Su Li, who was an intelligent being, seemed to be a little girl. But with continuous learning and self-evolution, Su Li's human side has become stronger and stronger, especially in the past year or so, as long as he doesn't pay attention to Su Li's conversation, he will fall into her trap.

"Well, that's a problem. But I won't be so careless next time. Tang Le shook his head and smiled bitterly, but Su Li grinned and grimaced at him, and then continued to concentrate on her business.

Seeing that Su Yichen and Luo Yan were not far away, Tang Le walked towards them: "This time we have been flying for a little too long, do you want to stop and test it for a while?" ”

"Is this your suggestion?" Su Yichen asked.

Tang Le shook his head, stretched out his finger and pointed upward: "It's the suggestion of the captain of our medium-sized spaceship, after all, the curvature engine of the Pioneer is not perfect, and long-term curvature navigation will increase the fatigue of the engine, anyway, we are not far from the solar system now, and I think a temporary rest is necessary." ”

Su Yichen thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think so, Su Li is monitoring the status of the spaceship's engine every day, and judging from the current situation, the Pioneer can still hold on." What's more, as you know, the civilization of the earth is facing an unprecedented crisis, and as a member of civilization, we only hope to return to our home planet one day sooner. ”

"Well, in that case, I won't say much, there is a guarantee of intelligent life, I think your decision is right, if it were me, I would do the same." Tang Le shrugged his shoulders and replied with a relaxed face, he was just relaying these words for his civilized companions, with Su Yichen and them for so long, Tang Le was very aware of the urgency of these earthlings to return to their home planet as soon as possible, and he also understood their thoughts.

On the bridge, all the members of the Pioneer spaceship were there, Su Yichen, Luo Yan and Tang Le were talking in front of the bridge, Gao Jian was on duty at the console, Kevin. Adams recorded and analyzed the data at the other end of the console, with the scientific and technological level of the earth's civilization, it was the first time to sail with such a long curvature, so many data, including changes in space and time, were extremely valuable data assets. How could Adams have missed such a great opportunity.

Everything was as usual, the Vanguard spacecraft was flying in a warped channel in curvature, and about 1 astronomical unit away from them was the medium-sized spacecraft of the Blue Star civilization, and the two spacecraft maintained a balanced speed and distance in the direction of the solar system.

The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Pioneer spacecraft was close to the solar system, and home was in front of us. They will also return to their home planet after a distant journey.

Su Yichen, who was a little tired, explained a few words to Luo Yan and the others, and was about to go back to the cabin to rest for a while, but before he could walk out of the bridge, the spaceship suddenly shook violently, and Su Yichen shook his whole body, and reached out to grab the nearest chair. I didn't fall to the ground.

"What's going on?!"

"Warning! Warn! The curvature channel is affected by a huge energy wave to produce an oscillatory ....... ”

The Vanguard's central brain quickly gave an answer, and a shrill siren echoed inside the ship.

"Energy? Oscillating? Su Yichen hurriedly shouted: "Where did the energy come from?" What causes oscillations? ”

"The source of the energy is unknown......." Zhi Brain replied.

"Daddy! We must immediately get out of the curvature navigation state, and if we oscillate again, the curvature channel will collapse! Su Li shouted.

Everyone inside the spaceship showed frightened expressions, and at this moment, a trace of regret flashed in Su Yichen's heart, could it be because of the problem caused by the curvature engine of the Pioneer spaceship? If you knew this, you should have listened to the advice of the Blue Star people and repaired it for the time being.

"Get out of it now! Get out now! Su Yichen decisively gave the order to break away from the curvature, and as soon as he shouted out, an emergency communication call from the Blue Star Civilization medium-sized spaceship came from the bridge: "Earth Civilization Pioneer spaceship!" Earth's Civilization Vanguard spaceship! We encounter a spatial oscillation caused by an unknown energy wave of the curvature channel, and we must urgently get out of the curvature state! ”

"What! The spaceship of the Blue Star civilization also encountered such a situation? Su Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was an accident and not a problem with their engine. Su Yichen hurriedly replied to the Blue Star Civilization through communication, telling them that the Pioneer spacecraft had also encountered this situation, and now it had begun to break away urgently, considering that the emergency departure would lead to a change in the positions of the two sides, so everything would be contacted after the separation.

"Got a reply! Reply received! We will continue to move towards the solar system after separation, and continue to contact ...... after separation. Blue Star replied, but before the last few words could be finished, the communication was disrupted by powerful electromagnetic waves. Communication between the two sides was abruptly interrupted.

After Su Yichen gave the order to disengage, Su Li began to take over all the control of the Vanguard. The massive Vanguard spacecraft is preparing to detach from the curvature state to the normal state of navigation. At this time, Su Yichen had stumbled back to the position he commanded, and as for Luo Yan and them, including Tang Le, they also tied their seats to each other, and although everyone's expressions were a little panicked, at least they were still calm.

"The deceleration begins...... The engine energy output conversion begins ....... ”

Su Li methodically controlled the curvature of the spacecraft according to the procedure. But soon her expression changed: "Not good! The energy continues to increase, and the engine energy output conversion has no effect, and it is impossible to slow down! Can't slow down! ”

"How is that possible? Shut down! Immediately shut down the curvature engine and force it out of the curvature state! Luo Yan's face also changed drastically, and she shouted hurriedly.

"I'm closed. But the speed of the spaceship can't be slowed down, which ...... What's going on? Su Li, as an intelligent life, also panicked, not to mention Tang Le, looking at the speed of the spacecraft displayed by the instrument in front of her, the Pioneer spacecraft not immediately broke away from the curvature navigation state, but its speed became faster and faster, as if a pair of invisible big hands were dragging the huge Pioneer spaceship in one direction, and the entire spacecraft was completely out of control.

Tang Le's face turned pale and he looked at this result in amazement, while Su Yichen, Luo Yan, Gao Jian, and Kevin. Adams and the others are doing their last bit to maneuver the spaceship to assist Su Li in trying to get out of this situation.

"The ship is still accelerating automatically, and we're already over 30% of its maximum speed...... No! 35% up! ”

Su Li kept reporting the numbers, Su Yichen and the others were very nervous, they continued to manipulate the spaceship to try to get rid of it, but no matter what they said, the spaceship was like a crazy galloping horse that couldn't stop.

"Is that the end of it?" Su Yichen's mind flashed through this year, he never thought that he would encounter such a situation, let alone that the end of his life would be like this. If this is their fate, then there is no way to fight it, at least he can die with the person he loves the most. couldn't help but look to the side, and at the same time, Luo Yan's eyes also looked towards him, and both of them saw relief in each other's eyes, as well as deep nostalgia and regret.

Yes, they are glad that they can accompany each other at this time, nostalgic for each other's love and the years they have gone through together, but unfortunately they were not able to return to Earth at a critical moment to complete their mission. However, during the last halfway break, the Pioneer spacecraft had already sent the specific information to the solar system as a backup, and I hope that the Earth side that received the information will still have time.

In addition to these, there is an even more regrettable, that is, the promise between them to return to Earth to live an ordinary life and have another child of their own...... Unfortunately, none of this will ever happen.

"Look! What is that! ”

Suddenly, Tang Le shouted, raised his hand and pointed straight ahead, everyone looked up in the direction of his finger, and saw that in front of the curvature passage, a black round hole appeared in the originally distorted space, this round hole was so dark, a circle of light around it continued to shrink inward, and then in the center of it there was nothing to see, and the black was deep.

"My God! It's a black hole! Finished! We're done! Kevin. Adamston wailed, a look of despair on his face.

"What! Black hole! Gao Jian also shouted in shock, and then showed a desperate expression. What a black hole is, as long as some people who know some astrophysics know, black holes are a special kind of celestial body, it has great mass and the ability to devour everything, even light cannot escape its attraction.

They never thought that their luck would be so bad that they actually ran into a black hole in front of them in a curvature navigation state, and judging from the position, the Pioneer spacecraft was flying towards the center of the black hole.

In this case, they have only one ending, that is, they are finally swallowed by the black hole, squeezed into the most primitive particles, and thus completely disappear into the universe.

In the face of the black hole, especially where the black hole was already so close, the Pioneer spacecraft was almost impossible to escape, and everyone, including Su Yichen, was desperate.

"This is not a black hole! It doesn't have a tremendous mass, or it would have been crushed at a distance from us. Only Su Li remained calm, and although she was surprised as an intelligent being, she quickly came to a conclusion.

"Not a black hole? So what is it? Like suddenly grabbing a straw that has fallen into the water, Tang Le asked urgently.

"That's the second question." Until this time, Su Li still did not forget the rules with Tang Le, and continued: "I don't know what it is, but it is definitely not a black hole!" ”

Under the suspicion of everyone, they could not do anything now, but watched as the Pioneer spacecraft became faster and faster, and only a few minutes later, the huge spacecraft plunged headlong into an even larger "black hole", and for a moment everyone was black, and then they didn't know anything....... (To be continued......)
