Chapter 454: Battleship Wreck
The Red River Fleet, led by the Thorn Strike battleship, began to jump in groups.
The so-called group jump is a large-scale spaceship making a space jump, which is more risky than a single flying jump, because in that sub-light flight, even a spaceship malfunction can bring disaster to the entire fleet.
In order to avoid losses to the fleet due to the unification of speed, Zou Chuan divided the nearly 70 transport ships of the Red River Fleet into several groups according to their speed.
From the hologram, this desert is like a vacuum, no star clusters, no stars, no planets, and even no stars with a diameter greater than 500 kilometers, of course, this is only from a macroscopic point of view, in fact, there are still a large number of meteorites, comets and cosmic dust in this space, although they are very small and insignificant, but they are like reefs in the sea, which will pose a great threat to the accelerating spaceship.
In any case, this is a hellish world, billions of years ago, there must have been many unknown star systems here, brilliant stars once shone in all directions, but I don't know when, an antimatter fountain was formed here, and a large amount of antimatter that was constantly erupted met with the original stars that existed here, and the two annihilated each other, and the Big Bang that shook the universe pawned everything here, and all the matter was reduced to powder, leaving nothing but a void...... Since then, it has become a cosmic desert, and only meteorites that roam around will visit here...... This annihilation creates a spatial jump point, and the location of another spatial space jump point is uncertain.
The star map circulating on the interstellar network is not perfect, because it is far from the main interstellar routes, and the information about this place is extremely poor, and the holographic map is almost blank except for a large space jump point.
In interstellar travel, the void represents the unknown, and the unknown represents danger, except for the expedition ship, all other aircraft will be far away from this area.
Because of its fastest speed, the Thorn Interceptor Battleship was piloted at the front and began its journey deep into the interstellar desert.
Zou Chuan was also on top of the Thorn Strike Ship.
As a pioneer, the Thorn Interceptor battleship activated the detection system, scanning the airspace, the information obtained from the holographic scanning continued to accumulate, the holographic image gradually outlined the star map ahead, and an asteroid gathered at an oblique distance of 2 million kilometers in the airspace on the port side, which looked like a huge ribbon fish; Eight million kilometers away on the starboard side, there is a cloud of cosmic dust, mostly made of ice, which is not very dense, but it can cause great damage to spaceships flying at sub-light speeds.
Directly in front of the Thorn Strike battleship, there is a magnificent asteroid belt, composed of about hundreds of thousands of asteroids, spanning two large airspace, like an endless mountain ridge, between the asteroids, there is an undetectable void, obviously, where is the space jump point.
Looking at the chaotic world in the depths of the asteroid belt, Zou Chuan, who was standing in front of the main control board, couldn't help frowning.
He couldn't imagine that the space jump point was not in the interstellar desolation at all, but in the edge of the asteroid's dense density.
Zou Chuan would rather be in the interstellar desert. Jumping in a chaotic asteroid belt is undoubtedly a challenge to life. There is no choice! "Ready to accelerate!" "Yes!" "Activate the Energy Shield!" "Yes!" "Maximum power jump engine!" "Yes!" "Start the secondary engine! "Yes!" "Start the Antimatter Engine 0 Kill System!" "Yes!
As the orders were issued one by one, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the captains on the transport ship, especially the last order to activate the "zero destruction system" transportation lane.
Every spacecraft has several self-destruct programs, and the antimatter engine self-destruct program is the most serious self-destruct program, because after starting this program, if the spacecraft encounters an external force or malfunctions, the spacecraft will immediately start the antimatter engine destruction program.
What is an antimatter engine self-destruct program?
Any astronaut knows that when this program is activated, it means that the people on the spaceship have no possibility of escaping, because the antimatter engine will wipe out the spacecraft into nothingness in an instant, and neither the spacecraft nor the humans on the spaceship will leave the slightest trace......
The design of this antimatter engine self-destruct program is one of the helpless measures of human beings in space jumping and adventure activities, because, in the most prosperous era of human space activities, there have been many records of spaceships congesting space jump points and destroying advance fleets due to malfunctions and external strikes.
With the antimatter engine's destruction system, this damage is minimized, and if you hit a meteorite and can't complete the jump while flying, it won't cause damage to the route that has been so difficult to complete......
I have to say that this kind of self-destruction procedure is too cruel, but it has made great contributions to the development of the universe for mankind, and has also saved many hard-won space jump points for the Human Alliance.
The Thorn Volley Battleship also has a very important task at the forefront, which is to sweep away all obstacles.
The Thorn Volley's laser cannon was fired almost at full capacity, clearing the course of a few small meteorites.
This design lasted nearly three hours before approaching the dense asteroid terrain at sub-sub-light speeds.
Judging from the dense number of meteorites, it seems that this route has been abandoned for a long time, and it is impossible for a route that is often used to have such a dense density of small meteorites, because any spaceship that sails will find a way to remove these meteorites that affect space jumps......
Could it be that something is wrong with the Black Planet?
Zou Chuan's brain almost immediately jumped out of this thought.
"Jump!"
Looking at the space jump point on the hologram, Zou Chuan gently pressed the button, because the Thorn Battleship had been accelerated for three hours, and the engine accelerator raised the speed of the battleship to sub-sub-light speed in a moment, and the human brain appeared blank for a moment, and when Zou Chuan opened his eyes and unlocked the hydraulic life system, the Thorn Battleship had already appeared in a quiet airspace......
The transport ships in the back have not yet appeared.
According to the difference in speed between the transport ships and the Shock interceptors, the time for the transport fleet to appear is at least twenty to thirty minutes later.
Looking at the cold and vast night sky in front of him, inexplicably, Zou Chuan felt a chill.
The clutter of signals collected from the sky indicates that this was once a very busy airspace, but now it is dead and strange......
The Thorn Volley quickly slowed from sub-light speed to normal speed.
The holographic scanning system opens.
"My lord, there is a spaceship three hundred kilometers ahead!
"My lord, there is a spaceship five thousand kilometers ahead.
"My lord, there is the wreck of a battleship fifty kilometers ahead......
The information was gathered one by one, and this information confirmed Zou Chuan's first feeling, and Zou Chuan ordered to slow down the speed of the thorn interception battleship as much as possible, and turned on the bright lights.
The principle of strong light navigation lights is similar to that of lasers, but they are non-lethal and can illuminate the dark universe on a large scale, and under this strong light, people can observe the situation within a few kilometers beyond the porthole with the naked eye.
Many times, humans prefer to rely on their own eyes to see the unclear.
The distance of fifty kilometers was almost negligible in the vastness of the universe, and soon, the Thorn Interceptor battleship was at the wreckage of the spaceship.
Through the scorching light, one can clearly see the spaceship floating in the dark and cold universe through the porthole.
Strictly speaking, this is no longer a spaceship, because this spaceship is so badly damaged that at least a third of its tail is missing.
The Thorn Volley battleship was slowly cruising around the spaceship.
As the battleship moved, people were already sure that this was not an ordinary spaceship, but a spaceship, the only difference was that there was any number A on this spaceship, and the entire spaceship was painted black, like a ghost, and there were a lot of debris floating around the spaceship......
Obviously, there was once a terrible space war here.
"My lord, mecha!"
When the Thorn Interceptor Battleship circled the side of the pitch-black space battleship, it immediately spotted a group of unidentified objects floating in the air, and almost immediately, people recognized it as the wreckage of a mecha group.
This is a huge mecha group, at least seventy or more light mechs, mechs? The group seemed to have encountered heavy artillery fire immediately after coming out of the space battleship, and almost none of the mechs had their armor plates intact. The body is covered with bullet holes.
It is impossible to guess when this terrible battle took place.
Skeleton.
; My lord, within a radius of 100,000 kilometers, the expression of the remnant leopard soldiers who have found twenty-one space battleships is a little heavy, it is obvious that they have broken into a battlefield, although the war has ended, however, no one can be sure whether there is a lurking crisis on this battlefield, compared to the number of warships in this place, the force of a thorn attack battleship is too thin, if it encounters an unknown attack, the thorn battleship can escape with speed, but the dozens of transport ships of the Red River Fleet will not have any chance, You must know that the wreckage of these battleships is not an interception battleship, but a capital battleship, and the energy shield of the transport ship cannot withstand the bombardment of a single cannon
