Chapter 1110: Pirate Raid
"Run!"
Qin Yan opened the hatch, and the figure appeared hundreds of miles away in the next moment, and then a huge ball of light burst out in the distance, extremely bright.
As North said, the power of such an engine has already exceeded that of a four-star battleship, and with the technology he has mastered it is not yet at this level. As a result, after a certain number of runs, the wormhole jumping device will completely disintegrate from the inside due to the overload of the engine.
This is already the ninth wormhole jumping device lost.
Qin Yan opened the space box, took out a wormhole jumping device again, and followed Hou Qing into it again, continuing the itinerary that was full of novelty and excitement at the beginning, but now it has become boring and boring.
According to North's calculations, it will take 17 years for a four-star warship to travel to the solar system from the headquarters of Alpha.
By increasing the engine power, as well as greatly reducing the size and weight, this wormhole jumping equipment that can only carry two people and give up most of the functions of the battleship, the distance of a jump is dozens of times that of a four-star battleship, and it is predicted that it will reach Lyra in about four months.
Of course, although Lyra is the name of a planet, most of the time it represents a powerful seven-star civilization.
Because the original planet of this civilization was called Lyra, it was so named, and as this race entered the interstellar age, after millions of years or more of interstellar colonization, their territory has actually expanded to an unimaginable extent.
But even so, they still take the name of Lyra, the first place where civilization first flourished, and this planet is also their capital planet.
In fact, this is true of almost all interstellar civilizations.
Because the so-called arrival at Lyra does not refer to the arrival of the capital star, but the very edge of the entire Lyra civilization.
After using the 93 wormhole jumping devices, Lyra is finally in sight, and there are more than a dozen wormhole jumps left to reach the border of Lyra.
The vision remains, but nothing else is visible except for the colorful distorted light.
For Qin Yan and Hou Qing, this feeling has long been accustomed to and even tired of it, and the next moment their vision returns to normal, but what they see is not a star system, but a relatively dim void, the nearest star, under Qin Yan's keen eyesight, is only a small point of light, and an extremely huge galaxy exudes a faint light.
Why is this happening?
The reason is simple.
Take the solar system as an example, the diameter of the solar system is less than 10 billion kilometers if calculated with Pluto's orbit as the boundary, which is very small when converted into light years, and the closest star system to the solar system is several light years, which means that there is a very large blank space between adjacent star systems.
This is true for galaxies, and it is also true for galaxies.
Galaxies are much larger than galaxies, and with hundreds of billions of star systems in the Milky Way, it is conceivable that the distance between the two galaxies is even more distant.
This distance is often measured in millions of light-years, and the wormhole jumping system created by North is absolutely impossible to jump directly from a galaxy's most marginal galaxy wormhole to another galaxy across millions of light-years.
In fact, in interstellar travel, more time is spent jumping between stars within one galaxy, but between two huge galaxies, millions of light-years in the void, and the premise of wormhole jumping is that there must be a wormhole.
Although wormholes exist at the edge of each galaxy, it does not mean that wormholes only exist at the edge of the galaxy, and there are also a large number of wormholes in the dark space between two star systems.
At this moment, Qin Yan was making a wormhole jump in the dark space between galaxies, and the galaxy in the distance that emitted a faint light was the galaxy where Tianqin Star was located.
This galaxy has more than 70 billion stars, of which about 50 billion stars have a complete planetary system.
Its name is the Lyra Galaxy.
Yes!
Such a huge galaxy with tens of billions of stars and an unknown number of habitable planets all belong to the territory of the Lyra civilization!
A civilization sitting on the territory of a galaxy was unimaginable for humans on Earth, who had not yet stepped out of the solar system a few decades ago. But among the interstellar civilizations, there are many, many such civilizations, and some of the top civilizations have a territory that is even millions or even billions of times that of the Lyra Star civilization.
"It's almost there." The four-month journey had already made Qin Yan almost numb, and now there was finally a touch of joy on his face.
Suddenly!
Just as he was about to continue the wormhole jump, a mixed fleet suddenly appeared in the originally empty void not far away.
This is...... Stealth technology!
In fact, as long as you reach the level of a fourth-level civilization, you can master stealth technology in the true sense: unlike radar stealth on earth, this kind of stealth is through high technology, so that the warship completely disappears, not only can not be detected by any equipment, but it is also impossible to see with the naked eye.
However, once stealth technology is used, the ship's engine must be turned off and not allowed to fly, otherwise it will be discovered due to energy escape.
Yes.
This fleet was waiting for the rabbits, they had been waiting here for a long time, and it was not until the space jumping equipment controlled by Qin Yan appeared that they canceled their stealth and ran out.
Why is it a mixture?
The size of the fleet is very small, compared to the scale of more than 10,000 warships in the Alpha Star duel with humans, which is a pitiful number of less than 100 warships. Moreover, the shapes of these warships are varied, not only the specifications and levels are very different, but also from the shape of the same civilization at all.
The largest of them is a battleship, with a length of about a thousand meters, and it can be seen through the energy shield that it is no more than a three-star battleship.
In addition to this battleship, there are five other two-star battleships, and the rest are one-star battleships that don't even have wormhole jumping energy.
Cosmic Pirates!
These five people immediately appeared in Qin Yan's mind: North once told him that there are a large number of civilizations in the universe, and these civilizations that have entered the interstellar era have jointly built a complex of interstellar civilizations in the universe, which is actually very similar to the previous national model on the earth.
In addition to large and small countries, there are also organizations that are independent of the state, such as large and small merchant groups, and pirates.
Both merchant and pirate groups are large and small, and some of the strongest merchant and pirate groups are even more powerful than most civilizations.
Just as there are some top consortia on the planet, with more assets and influence than some small countries.
"Lay down your arms and surrender and get out of the ship immediately or you will be mortally attacked!" The largest battleship shouted in cosmic language.
"Looks like we're being held hostage." Qin Yan smiled at Hou Qing.
"Since they chose to die, make them perfect." Hou Qing's eyes were full of black gas.
During this long journey, Hou Qing has learned a lot of scientific knowledge, such as cosmology, such as distinguishing levels by the shape of battleships: Obviously, this fleet is very weak and cannot enter Hou Qing's eyes at all, and it definitely belongs to the 'looking for death' level.
The two walked out of the cabin, and the next moment Qin Yan casually pressed on the space box, and the wormhole jumping device turned into blue light and was put away.
It is worth mentioning that in order to hide their strength, the two deliberately used spacesuits - the kind used by North, and a layer of light film covers the outside of the body when you press the button.
"Damn! Space Box ...... You guys, hand over the space box! There was an angry shout from the battleship.
"You can come and get it." Qin Yan shouted at the top of his voice.
"Go! Get their space boxes! ”
The other party was not surprised by Qin Yan and Hou Qing's appearance, the highly intelligent creatures that originated and evolved through different planets almost all have different appearances, and in this world where countless races are integrated, people have long been surprised by what kind of human beings they grow into.
What they care about is that Qin Yan has a space box, and he must reach at least a fifth-level civilization in order to master the most basic space technology.
At least, for this low-level pirate group, the space box is already considered a good thing.
Soon.
The largest battleship opened the hatch, and then a figure came out of it, and now it was Qin Yan's turn to be surprised.
That person is about 1.9 meters tall, and he has an extremely similar appearance to a human!
Unlike the Alpha Human, who is very different from a human, this man bears a striking resemblance to the Caucasian people on Earth: the only difference is that his arms are slightly longer than those of a human, and his legs are longer, making him look better than a human. In addition, his hair is dark green, with a diamond-shaped silver scale in the center of his forehead, and the upper part of his ears is pointed, resembling a fairy in European mythology.
Qin Yan immediately remembered that in the large amount of information given to him by North, the appearance of highly intelligent beings from more than two hundred civilizations around the Alpha Star Civilization was recorded.
They're Lyras!
That's right!
At that time, North had proposed to let Qin Yan change into the appearance of a Lyra Star, saying that this race was very similar to the appearance of humans.
In fact, it's not surprising at all: this place is already very close to the territory of Lyra, so most of the pirates here should be Lyra.
This guy who flew over from the mothership of the fleet had a layer of light lingering on his body, and through this layer of talisman Zhengang deliberately saw that his strength was only the Immortal Martial Eight Heavens: the Immortal Martial Realm still relied on air, but the breath-holding time was relatively long, even if there was no spacesuit, it was no problem to survive in space for a few hours.
Qin Yan took out the space box with a smile, looking like he was giving it away, but he was actually ready to make a move.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
Just when that guy was about to fly over and Qin Yan was about to make a move, an overwhelming beam of light bombarded from an extreme distance.
Thundered......
Those beams possessed terrifying attack power, at least from two-star warships, and among them there were even more powerful firepower, which even Qin Yan had never seen.
The pitifully weak pirate group in front of him was already in the fire coverage because the battleships were so poor that they couldn't even detect them.
The loud noises continued one after another, and the less than 100 warships of the pirate regiment had no backhand power, and they were almost too late to fire, and they were instantly annihilated by the super cannon fire, and huge flames of light exploded in the void......
