Earth's spaceport.

The Counterattack Star Destroyer opened the hatch, and the Shenzhou spacecraft flew into the inside of the Counterattack.

The Triangular Cone of the Counterattack Star Destroyer is 1,667 meters long, while the Shenzhou is only 125 meters.

Therefore, the Shenzhou can completely enter the counterattack.

After the hatch closes, the wormhole exploration operation officially begins.

Fang Yuan sat on the bridge of the Counterattack Star Destroyer, raised his hand, and gave the order to set sail.

The Counterattack started the propulsion engine, flew into outer space, and only after leaving the spaceport 300 kilometers did it start the curvature engine and enter the curvature flight.

"According to the aggregated wormhole information, the closest wormhole to the earth is near the asteroid belt, and the star system that this wormhole leads to is Tianyuan IV." Zhao Anya reported the first goal of this mission while reading the information.

"Where is Tianyuan Four?" Niu Dazhi slapped open a bag of potato chips, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked while eating.

Eve said angrily: "Sister Ya, don't pay attention to him, this kind of common sense lets him check the information by himself." ”

"What's that? Is this called common sense? I know that Tianyuan Si has never heard of it. Niu Dazhi protested with confidence.

At this time, Lang Xiaonian came over and said, "I'm familiar with this, let me talk about it." Celestial Yuan IV is a star very close to our solar system, only 10.5 light-years. ”

Niu Dazhi continued to cross Erlang's legs, counted with his fingers, and said, "The light will go for ten years, and you tell me that it is very close?" ”

"10 times the speed of light at the curvature of the Counterattack Horn." Lang Xiaonian said.

"That's going to take a year, my God, it's two years to go back and go, you didn't say that this mission is so long, I didn't bring so many snacks." Niu Dazhi looked very distressed.

"I just said it three minutes ago, we are going through a wormhole, not two years, not two months, not even two days, just two minutes." Eve gestured with two fingers to him, but felt like the two was talking about him.

"Oh, that's fine...... So how long will it take us to get to the wormhole? Niu Dazhi turned to ask another question.

"If you just go to the asteroid belt, at the speed of light, it only takes a third of a second." Lang Xiaonian replied.

"Are we so close to the asteroid belt?" Niu Dazhi felt that he was becoming more and more insensitive to numbers, and he forgot to stuff the potato chips in his hand into his mouth.

"It's hopeless." Eve shook her head, disgusted.

Lang Xiaonian then explained: "We are not going to the asteroid belt with the shortest distance, we are going to the location where the wormhole is located, so according to the approximate coordinates, we have to go two astronomical units away. At the speed of light, it's about 16 minutes, so it should be almost there by now. ”

At this time, only an hour has passed since departure.

The Counterattack Star Destroyer can indeed reach 10 times the speed of light with curvature at the ultimate speed.

However, the faster you go, the more energy you consume.

When sailing short distances, it does not run at full power.

Therefore, when traveling to the wormhole in the asteroid belt, only 30% of the speed of light is used.

Therefore, after sailing for more than an hour, it gradually approached the goal.

Fang Yuan stood up and moved his hands and feet, ready to start confirming the location of the wormhole.

"Be careful, so far, the approximate location of the wormhole we have gotten has not been confirmed. Vigilance is necessary. Zhao Anya reminded loudly.

"Yes." Fang Yuan replied.

The reason why Zhao Anya reminded him like this is because the collected wormhole information was obtained from Rahu and the cleaners.

Therefore, accuracy and authenticity cannot be guaranteed.

"Everyone should also be vigilant, because this mission, we may face a trap." Zhao Anya raised her voice and reminded everyone.

And that's exactly what happened.

The mission was to determine the exact location of the wormhole, but all information about the location of the wormhole was provided by hostile civilizations.

Then, there is a high probability that there is a trap hidden in this information.

A wormhole is actually a kind of super-large spatial rift.

Human research on spatial rifts has been carried out for 60 years, so the relevant research is very high.

However, what can be called a wormhole is usually very large.

Because what passes through the wormhole is usually an interstellar spaceship.

Like the Counterattack Star Destroyer, it was originally a cleaner ship of the Palese civilization, with a side length of 1,667 meters.

To pass through such a large spaceship, the diameter of the wormhole must be at least 3,000 meters.

Those spatial rifts that are a few meters or tens of meters large cannot be called wormholes at all.

The Counter entered the asteroid belt and began to explore the location of the wormhole in the asteroid belt.

In the asteroid belt, there are millions of asteroids, meteorites, and cosmic dust.

If you look at it on a star chart, it's a dense collection of tiny dots.

However, in fact, there is a long distance between these cosmic dusts.

"According to the aggregated information, that wormhole should be around here." Zhao Anya looked at the information while drawing circles on the star map.

"Go around and the wormhole detector will turn on." Fang Yuan ordered.

The area drawn by Zhao Anya is a bit large, with millions of kilometers.

"Our wormhole detector is a bit poor, it can only detect a few tens of kilometers, which is too difficult to find."

The Counterattack flew around and didn't find the wormhole, and Eve couldn't help but complain.

Originally, the Counterattack had a wormhole detector, but it was broken.

With the current level of human technology, it is still capable of completely repairing the counterattack for the time being, so some functions are missing.

In an area of millions of kilometers, it is indeed a bit troublesome to use a detector with a detection distance of tens of kilometers to find it slowly.

Fang Yuan thought about it for a moment and said, "Old Ye, the diameter of that wormhole is at least 3,000 meters in diameter, and in the asteroid belt, it may be possible to find it through observation. ”

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Ye Zhiyu immediately activated the observation system of the Counterattack and began to look for suspicious places in the asteroid belt.

Fang Yuan remembered a guy, so he rubbed a fish food and threw it forward.

There was a guy in front of him who shook and swallowed the fish food in one bite, and it was the "big belly" of the puffer fish chasing the light.

This guy has grown to the size of a millstone.

Everyone is no stranger to "Big Belly", Eve set up the automatic sailing, and walked over to reach out and pinch it a few times.

"Look for wormholes, that should be your area of expertise." Fang Yuan pointed to the pitch-black space outside the spaceship.

"Big Belly" opened his mouth and shook left and right, and after receiving the second fish food, he disappeared through the dimensional membrane.

Everyone searched for half an hour in various ways.

Ye Zheyu suddenly said loudly: "I seem to have seen a strange phenomenon. ”

"What phenomenon?"

"There was a fist-sized cosmic dust just now, and it disappeared, is it possible that it was sucked into it by a wormhole?" Ye Zhiyu replied.

"In what position? Just take a look. Fang Yuan said.

Ye Zhiyu reported the location, and Eve turned the direction of the spaceship and drove over.

Towards the end of the day, "Big Belly" suddenly came out and swayed from side to side, indicating that it had found a wormhole and was ready to claim the prize.

Fang Yuan stretched out his hand to push it away and said, "You're late, someone found it before you." ”
