The Barren Lands of Starlight are over 1,000 light-years in size, and most of the area is filled with dark energy, and some galaxies are hidden in these dark energies, but no one knows how many there are. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Nova exists as a backup base, and its destination is to find a place with abundant mines and a stable and safe starry sky.

In the face of such a pitch-black and unfamiliar star field, the experienced captain of the adventure was also a little at a loss, but fortunately, with the old driver of the starlit land of Jade Linglong, the nova avoided walking around like a headless fly.

Yu Linglong temporarily took over the command of the battleship: "Now reduce the speed to 0.1C, turn on the space curvature detector, open the quantum shock eye, and look for the quantum jump point." I know there's a quantum jump point in this area. ”

Quantum jump, is from the starlight of the land of star technology, the Earth Federation has just mastered, compared to warp speed flight, quantum jump speed is faster, but the limitations are also large, the requirements for environmental stability are higher, must require a special space space, that is, the quantum jump point as the starting point of the jump. At the same time, the end point must also be another quantum jump point, and the range is much less controllable than warp flight.

"Understood." The captain complied one by one.

"There are many spatial singularities in the barren land, and once there is a U-shaped curve fluctuation in curvature, it should be avoided immediately."

The space singularity is a black hole, and after the death of a supermassive star, it collapses to form an ultra-dense celestial body, and the surrounding tidal gravitational field is very terrifying, and the battleship enters it and is torn into elementary particles in an instant.

The captain of the Nova did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the various probes.

After flying for more than two hours, Yu Linglong suddenly said: "There, coordinates (121, 121, 212), quantum jump point, ready to jump." ”

The captain immediately complied, and steered the Nova towards the jump point.

At this moment, the energy detector suddenly sounded an alarm: "Alarm! Alert! Discover the High Energy Response! ”

A blood-red dot of light appeared on the interface of the energy detector, and this point of light was fast, reaching 0.12C, and was getting closer and closer to the Nova battleship.

"What's that? Is it an enemy warship? "Everyone on the battleship was amazed.

Yu Linglong's voice did not fluctuate: "It's not a battleship, it's an interstellar monster, leave it alone, accelerate to 0.2C, and rush forward." ”

Her calmness calmed everyone's minds, and the captain steered the battleship and began to accelerate.

After about 5 minutes, the energy detector revealed that the target was less than 1 light minute away from the Nova battleship, and the quantum jump point was in front of the battleship.

Yu Linglong shouted: "It's now, activate the quantum oscillation generator!" ”

"Buzz~" The Nova battleship shook suddenly, and at this moment, the space around the battleship shook like water, and then the battleship quickly became illusory, transparent, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Just before entering the jumping state, everyone on the Nova battleship clearly saw the appearance of the starry sky giant beast, with a slender body, more than 500 meters long, and its whole body was covered with scales that emitted a silver-black light, without legs, and a sharp horn on its head, which looked like a giant snake with horns.

Zhang Yuan also saw it on the holographic screen, and he asked, "What is that?" ”

"The black-scaled desolate snake, the larvae of the desolate dragon, looking at this appearance, only grows for about 300 years, and when it grows to a thousand years, it will grow limbs, and its body will grow to at least one kilometer, and the sprint can be increased to a maximum of 0.8C, and it can enter the quantum interception spacecraft. A warship like ours has little way to survive if it encounters an adult desolate dragon. ”

Hearing this, everyone on the battleship gasped, and Comte asked, "Then why is it attacking us?" ”

"Because of the energy. Starry sky monsters live in space and need a lot of energy to survive, and man-made spaceships contain a lot of ordered energy, which is an extremely delicious food for them. The large quark furnace that our battleship is loaded with is like a wonderful lollipop to them. ”

Everyone was terrified when they heard this, and they had a new understanding of the dangers of the Starlit Land.

At this moment, the battleship left the jumping state, and a soft light suddenly appeared in front of it, and everyone looked over, and they saw that an endless emerald green nebula appeared on the left and right sides of the battleship, and in front of the battleship, there was a bright yellow star, and it was it that illuminated this star field.

Jade Linglong carefully introduced the area to everyone: "I call this the Verdant Valley, which is 5 light years away from our previous jump, in a very remote corner of the Wasteland, and it is a good place that I stumbled upon. You see, there is a main-sequence star of the same mass as the Sun in front of it, and the main-sequence star is surrounded by 7 planets, and the environment on the fourth planet is very stable, and it can be used as a base with a little modification. On the fourth planet, outer space is a belt of meteorites with abundant mines. The farther emerald nebula is the remains of an ancient star that exploded, and many special minerals can be found in it......"

Everyone listened carefully, and when Yu Linglong finished speaking, Zhang Yuan asked, "This is really a good place, but is there a starry sky beast here?" ”

"Of course there are, but not very often, they all stay in the surrounding emerald nebula, they are not short of energy, and the light of the stars gives them plenty of energy. So when you go to Nebula mining in the future, you have to be extra careful. ”

"Sounds like it's a great place to set up a base." The captain laughed.

Yu Linglong was a little dissatisfied with the captain's statement, and said in an accentuated tone: "This is a rare and good place!" ”

Then she continued: "Alright, my mission is done, it's time to part ways. Zhang Yuan, you go with me and the Star Spirit, and I will send you to the border of the Aum Empire. ”

"Oh, good." Zhang Yuan responded.

"Two little girls. I've already given you the route, you're all right? Yu Linglong asked again.

"No problem." Kong De and Xia Xiyan responded in unison, they were not advancing alone, there were several companions on a spaceship.

According to the plan, Kong De went to Sky City, Xia Xiyan went to the Crimson Empire, and Zhang Yuan went to the Aum Empire, and the three parties developed independently.

"Let's go, then."

After about 10 minutes, three small armed ships separated from the Nova and flew towards the three quantum jump points, while the Nova battleship flew to the fourth planet of the star system in front of it to establish a base.

The small spaceship piloted by Zhang Yuan is called the 'Crescent', which is 40 meters long, carries a quantum jump engine, and has a maximum ordinary cruise speed of 0.15C.

There are only 3 passengers on the spacecraft, Zhang Yuan, Yu Linglong, and Xing Ling. Xing Ling has been yearning for the starlight land for a long time, and naturally followed out of the Earth Federation, she walked with Zhang Yuan this time, just hitchhiking, and when she arrived at the Aum Empire, she would part ways with Zhang Yuan, according to her, she was going to go chic, the universe is so big, the starry sky is so wide, it is best for the two to never see each other in the future.

It is worth mentioning that although Xingling's genes are the same as Yu Linglong's, their appearance is only 7 points similar, and their temperament is completely different, which is the result of Zhang Yuan's slight interference in the gene expression process.

Once on the Crescent spacecraft, the Star Spirit stayed in his room and continued to learn to walk.

Zhang Yuan stood in the spaceship hall, looking at the Nova battleship that was moving away behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in his heart, which felt a bit like when he left his father for the first time to go to school.

Seeing him like this, Yu Linglong smiled on the ground: "Little virgin, you just left and you are homesick?" ”

Zhang Yuan did not deny it: "Everything around me is strange to me, and I do feel a little afraid of entering a foreign land." ”

He believed that Kong De and Xia Xiyan on the other two spaceships must be the same as him, but this is a process that must be adapted, the Earth Federation is their hometown, and they can give everything to protect their hometown.

Yu Linglong's face softened, she didn't speak, she stood in Zhang Yuan and gently hugged him, hugged him for a while, she suddenly said: "Hey, you seem to have grown taller, hmm~ You have indeed grown taller." Alright, retract your thoughts, and I'll start teaching you one last lesson now. ”

"The last lesson?" Zhang Yuan was a little strange.

Yu Linglong snapped her fingers, and the image of the Nova battleship on the screen in front of the two disappeared, turning into a complex set of mecha structure diagrams.

"The last lesson is to learn how to build mechs."

Zhang Yuan looked at the extremely complex internal structure diagram of the mecha, and his face was strange: "I'm just a warrior, why should I learn this?" I can't learn it either. ”

Yu Linglong looked serious, without the slightest joke, her almond eyes stared at Zhang Yuan's eyes tightly: "Remember, the Starlight Land is not the Earth Federation with a clear division of labor, here, you are no longer a famous family, you are just the most ordinary Crimson Empire." In this savage land. When you're in trouble, no one will help you fix your mech, no one will help you refuel, and no one will want to sell you a mech, so you have to build your own weapon! ”

"But can I learn this?" Zhang Yuan scratched his head, he did learn some mecha design in his previous life, but it was just scratching the surface, if he really wanted to build a mecha independently, then he would be blind.

"Of course we can, and we must learn, we must learn it on our final voyage to the Aum Empire. That is, you only have five days to study. In five days, I'll be gone, and you'll be on your own. ”

"But how is that possible?" Zhang Yuan was speechless: "You should have taught me earlier, Kong De and Xia Xiyan should also need it." ”

Yu Linglong pursed her lips: "What do they have to do with me?" I've been teaching spy lessons for a month now, and it's fun enough. You see, the knowledge I teach is priceless. ”

As she spoke, Yu Linglong took out a light blue pill the size of her thumb and handed it to Zhang Yuan: "Oh, the True Knowledge Pill, produced by Dark Heaven, contains three trillion nanobots, and they will reconstruct part of your memory area." Eat it, get some sleep, and wake up, and you'll have all the knowledge you need to design and build mechs in your head. But knowledge is not enough, practical experience is also needed, so in the rest of the time, all you have to do is use these materials in the spaceship and this 3D printer to create a usable mech. ”

"Good stuff." Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up, something similar is also available in the Earth Federation, and the Federation's method is to implant an electronic memory chip in the human brain, compared with the True Knowledge Pill, obviously the latter is more advanced.

Yu Linglong glanced at Zhang Yuan: "Of course good things, there is no market, and I have such a hand." Otherwise, why do you think I only teach you alone? ”

Zhang Yuan smiled when he heard this, took the pill and swallowed it, and the moment he swallowed it, he felt as if a cool breath rose from his stomach and went straight into his brain.

The voice of the main brain immediately sounded: "It was found that nanobots have invaded the cerebral cortex and are modifying cortical neurons, is it prevented?" ”

"Don't stop it, let it go!"

Immediately after, Zhang Yuan felt a strong sleepiness welling up in his heart, his eyelids suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, and the whole person fell straight down, his last consciousness was that he was picked up by Yu Linglong with one hand, and after walking a few steps, he was casually thrown by this girl onto a recliner in the spaceship.

"It's amazing." This was the last thought in Zhang Yuan's mind.
