Chapter 354: First Look
September 2, 4th year of the new era.
On the Cooper Belt, in the area between 19 billion kilometers ~ 20 billion kilometers from the wormhole, three forward bases have been built.
In addition, there is an expeditionary fleet, including three Xing provincial, nine Huo Quzhi-class, and six Kunpeng-class.
These ships have been converted into low-sublight ships, and are stationed in three sub-fleets near the three forward bases.
Antimatter torpedoes, antimatter photon missiles are also fully equipped, and even neutrino stellar bombs are equipped.
As for the electromagnetic cannon of kinetic weapons, due to the temporary speed not being able to match the speed of the spaceship, and the projectile made of degenerate materials cannot be accelerated by electromagnetic force, it has temporarily withdrawn from the front line.
Luo Feng is the commander of the expeditionary fleet, and Chu Bai is the commander-in-chief of the forward base, and the two of them are responsible for the vigilance of the wormhole.
Frontier 1.
Inside the communication center, more than a dozen fighters are busy, controlling all the nearby probes and monitoring satellites.
Countless gravitational waves and neutrino streams are stirring in the void, and various passive detectors are also operating around the clock.
Chu Bai himself was in the communication center, Luo Feng came through a stand-in robot, and he himself was on the fleet.
On the star map, within a radius of 24 billion kilometers, there is a wormhole marked in red in the center, and there are sparse artificial objects.
In addition to the three black hole bombs, there is a minefield of antimatter mines, monitoring satellites.
Chu Bai stared at the star map with his hands on his chest.
It was this smiling young man who looked harmless to humans and animals that annihilated the remnants of the three fugitive forces in one fell swoop.
"Report, the exploration ship is in place." The adjutant reported.
Chu Bai turned around, put away his indifferent expression, and said solemnly: "Comrade Luo Feng, take care!" ”
"Wait for my good news."
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he manipulated the stand-in robot to return to the storage cabin.
All the fighters in the communications center stood up and saluted.
……
The Huo Qubing and two warships of the same class broke away from the fleet, left Front 1, and headed for the wormhole at full speed.
On the three ships, all of them are determined to die, and once there is an enemy on the opposite side, they will be the first wave of new human troops to face the enemy directly.
Without quantum communication, it is so helpless, the forward base is still too far away from the wormhole, if the opponent's spaceship is fast enough, and when the forward detection data is fed back, the enemy spacecraft may have already ridden the face.
As a last resort, Luo Feng could only take the lead and lead the battleship to be stationed in the void near 1 million kilometers of the wormhole, and in case of an emergency, he could respond in time.
This is an extremely dangerous mission, because once the black hole bomb is activated, it will be instantly pulled into the black hole within tens of millions of kilometers, unless the spacecraft can fly faster than the speed of light, otherwise within the range of gravitational waves, all matter will be swallowed by the black hole.
10 days later.
Under the reaction force of the engine, Huo Quzhi braked steadily at a distance of about 1 million kilometers from the wormhole.
Luo Feng, who exited the anti-load cabin, cleaned up the surface of his body with a biological robot.
"Wei Qing, control the No. 3 Black Hole Bomb."
"Roger."
"Su Wu, control the No. 2 Black Hole Bomb."
"Roger."
Luo Feng's Huo Qubing took control of the No. 1 Black Hole Bomb, and he quickly ordered the warship to take over the satellites, probes, and space minefields around the wormhole.
From this moment on, he was the supreme commander of the wormhole theater, and the buttons of the space minefield and black hole bomb were pinched in Luo Feng's hand.
The captains of the other two warships are also holding their own black hole bomb buttons, they are backup plans, and the new human army will not put their eggs in one basket.
Correspondent Xiao Bing debugged the data for a while: "Commander Luo, the data is normal. ”
Luo Feng calmly ordered: "That's the beginning!" ”
"Yes."
There were only six people on the battleship, which was the least staffing of Huo Qu's class.
Xiao Bing is responsible for communicating with the exploration spacecraft.
And Luo Feng is writing a farewell message, once something happens, this will be their last words.
Of course, the most dangerous people at this time are the three people who piloted the exploration spaceship.
The internal structure of the wormhole and the presence of the neutron nuclear star make it difficult for electromagnetic waves, neutrinos, and gravitational waves to communicate.
Exploration can only be done in a human-piloted spaceship.
……
Explore inside the cockpit of the spaceship.
Three fighters are ready, they are: captain Guo Yong, driver Xu Changsheng, and correspondent Lin Zhonghua.
Guo Yong gently looked at the photos of his wife and daughter, touched his chin full of scum, and recalled his daughter's cute appearance when she was a child.
The photo is placed on the chest, wrapped in the body with a biological robot, and an email is uploaded to the main server, which is set to be sent out in a week.
Xu Changsheng and Lin Zhonghua also silently completed the email settings.
"Let's go! The starry sky boy is fearless! ”
"Explorer 88 activated."
Explore the 88 spacecraft to start the antimatter photonic engine and slowly move towards the pitch-black wormhole with low power.
The diameter of the wormhole passage is 3,742 meters, and the length and internal conditions are actually models that Huang Mingzhe has speculated through calculations, and the real situation is unknown to new humans.
The driver, Xu Changsheng, took a deep breath, and his adrenaline hormones soared uncontrollably.
"Steady." Guo Yong calmly patted him on the shoulder.
After taking several deep breaths in a row, Xu Changsheng suppressed the fear in his body.
As soon as the spacecraft approached the limit of the wormhole at 4.36 kilometers, it felt an attraction and actively pulled the spacecraft into the wormhole.
"Steady, don't let the gravitational pull of the wormhole dictate the direction and speed of flight."
"Roger."
The exploration 88 constantly adjusts the direction and power of the engine nozzles, which is already expected.
In order to maintain the stability of the wormhole, there must be a neutron nuclear star in the middle of the wormhole as a stabilizer, and this neutron nuclear star is the source of attraction.
After flying about 8 kilometers, there was a sudden crash and vibration in front of the spacecraft.
Xu Changsheng looked confused: "What's the situation?"
Lin Zhonghua, who was in charge of communication and detection data, changed his face: "Rock! It's all rocks ahead! ”
"Rocks?" Guo Yong turned his head to look at the data, and in the chaotic element data, it was showing that there were dense reactions of silicon, carbon, iron, calcium, aluminum, hydrogen, and oxygen ahead.
The density was solid, and this sudden situation caught the three of them off guard.
"Could it be that the model is wrong? It's not a wormhole, it's an asteroid?" Xu Changsheng said uncertainly.
"Don't jump to conclusions, you control the spaceship for immortality."
"No problem."
After several tests in a row, there were rocks in front of him, and Guo Yong, who was frowning, immediately made a decision, manipulated the mechanical arm, and collected some samples on the rocks in front of him.
"Retreat first."
"Okay."
The ship's engine rotated 180 degrees, and then the engine activated, propelling Explorer 88 out of the wormhole.
……
Luo Feng, who was nervous, was staring at the monitoring data around the wormhole, not letting go of a trace of abnormality.
"Report, Exploration 88 is back!" Xiao Bing hurriedly reported.
"Ask ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the correspondence of Exploration 88 arrived.
"The password is correct, and the communication is accessed."
Luo Feng hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"
Guo Yong truthfully reported their encounter in the wormhole.
Huo went to the sick number, and after listening to Guo Yong's report, everyone was also confused.
There was no way, Luo Feng could only report the situation to Chu Bai's side and let them analyze the relevant situation as soon as possible.
The first time I explored the wormhole mission, I saw that it was so helplessly over.
