Volume 3 Interstellar Expedition Chapter 19 Black Hole Rescue
"Come on, gather the Guards Fleet, escort the second prince back, and the others, with the headquarters as the center, line up." Seeing the addition of a new force turned around the already low-hanging fruit. Inside the gate, all the Blue Domain troops turned towards this, and Minsaro knew that the location of the headquarters must have been exposed.
"Alright, you've played well, let's withdraw together."
"I have betrayed the trust of the God King and the Battle Angel, and I vow to live and die with Pingzu Pass."
Seeing Minsalo's resolute eyes, Rikov gave an order: "Come on, drag him away, withdraw all troops, and don't make fearless sacrifices." β
"Big brother, they've withdrawn."
Outside the pass, the originally chaotic void flashed with bright light, and when the light extended to the command center position, it became denser and brighter. Many bright lights arced and exploded into a curtain of light and disappeared. This is a symptom of a large-scale withdrawal.
"Send airships to investigate, remember, keep in touch, and don't open fire when you encounter an enemy."
Bamulin was ordered to go.
At the same time, Zhang Heng had already organized manpower to start repairing the planetary cannon, while Murray was staring at the more than 40,000 starships that had fallen into the black hole. More than 10,000 of them have already entered the horizon.
"Time flies very slowly, we've been playing for so long, it's not a second for them." Seeing Murray staring at the black hole in a daze, Chu Tiankuo came up to talk.
"Is there a way, how to get them out?"
"It's hard without the space-time editor and the tugboat."
"I've ordered the tugboats and space-time editors of Pearl Harbor to set off. But these two things are going too slowly, and it will take half a year to get here. Not to mention the Carmon people who may make a comeback at any time, it is unknown how long the energy of these tens of thousands of starships can support in it. β
"You see, all of their energy is right now facing the black hole, and if we give them a lateral force and velocity, can we use the gravitational slingshot effect to push them out?"
"Lateral force and velocity? How does it work? β
"Take, for example, the battleship closest to the horizon. If the battleship had a horizontal velocity, it would not be captured by the gravitational pull of the black hole. Similarly, if our warship passes through this area at a very high speed, it can also escape the gravitational capture of the black hole. Therefore, piloting a V86 battleship, starting to accelerate from a long distance from the black hole, sailing along the battleship captured by the black hole's gravity, and releasing the force field boost at the moment of approaching the battleship, which gives the battleship at the edge of the black hole a lateral acceleration. Assuming that this multiple warships form a battleship stream and are frequently boosted, this horizontal speed will become larger and larger, and the rescue will be finally completed. β
"He Yongnian, call all the captains of the V86 starship to the Xingtian, and we will hold a captains' meeting."
The fleet engineer who was repairing the planetary cannon saw a classic scene at this moment. Thousands of warships lined up in space in the distance to accelerate the start, rushing at a speed close to the speed of light towards the battleship that was struggling on the edge of the black hole, and before approaching the battleship, a large number of shells were released to explode close to the trapped battleship, and the explosion gave the trapped battleship a lateral thrust, and pulled outward with the lateral gravity of the rescue battleship. Within 1 minute, more than 3,000 warships repeated this action accurately, and after the last battleship was pulled, the battleships trapped in the black hole shot into space in the distance like slingshots. It's like a person trapped in a swamp who is suddenly pulled back to shore, and the trapped battleship rolls over a few times before regaining its balance.
The flow of battleships was so repeated that 5 starships were rescued in an hour.
"That's too showy, isn't it?" As a navigation expert, Takarashi didn't think of any better way. I couldn't help but laugh and watch Murray's performance with interest.
"Fourth brother, don't just look at them, hurry up and think of a way, how can we drag such a big cannon back?"
"Our warships are too small, you see Governor Murray's warships, each one is bigger than ours, why don't you ask him to borrow the largest one?"
The fourth child's words are actually talking about Dewey's thoughts, in the past 20 years, the Blue Domain Galaxy has traded many warships with Gaia, but they are all comparable to the model of the Origin, and the slightly larger ones are the Pingyang, and these high-level warships seen here today, the Blue Domain actually has their own exclusive use, and they have not been taken out to see people until now.
"Those people, all of them are stingy, unless we grab one, or go back and get a ship-building planet in Gaia." The second child was actually testing Dewey's idea.
"This is absolutely unbelievable, the ship-building planet, not a planet is finished, from ore mining, transportation and purification, to raw material processing, to spare parts production, and finally the assembly of various modules, without using the productivity of a galaxy can not operate at all. In that case, Gaia, with the blue sky and blue sea, will be polluted into another blue area, absolutely not. β
"What else, the cannon is almost repaired, what are we waiting here?"
"Sixth son, have the Kamon people finished withdrawing?"
"Big brother, there is no one left, the entire Pingzu Pass is empty."
"Are there any traces of tugboats in their fleet?"
Dewey's question made the brothers laugh: "Big brother, have you been a bandit for a long time, and you have only one idea left in your mind, relying on robbing everything." β
"Yes, there is, but the tugboat ran ahead of time, and it was far away to catch up."
"Forget it, I'll go find Murray."
"I felt like it was only 10 seconds, and I was just about to send you a message to tell you that there was a trap, and you rescued me."
"Me too, just thinking about how to send a message that you can receive immediately."
"But it's good that you came quickly, and if you go a little further, the whole battleship will collapse."
As soon as Dewey walked outside the door, he heard several rescued captains discussing the things inside the black hole, these people usually go to some planets with huge gravity to carry out missions, but they are all protected by the battleship's force field space-time, or change the time and space in advance "the situation of one day in the sky and one year on the earth" and do not have much experience. In this black hole journey, the main energy of each starship is used to ensure the protection of the main structure of the ship, and the space-time in the ship has been flowing with the gravitational force of the black hole.
"Captains, don't come unharmed?" Dewey didn't want to eavesdrop on anything, so he pushed the door in and interrupted the conversation.
"Dewey's captain is long, and he is far away."
"Governor Murray has a lot of opportunities, but this black hole rescue trick is really novel, I guess except for the battleship on the edge of the horizon, everything else is fine, right?"
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, and it's a big step worse than Captain Dewey's wartime command. Captains, you all have to thank Captain Dewey, if he hadn't arrived in time, to tell the truth, our entire fleet would have been wiped out. β
The typical military quality has forged Murray's straightforward and bold character, and his gratitude for Dewey's rescue at this moment is also from the heart. All the captains also sent their thanks to Dewey and many good wishes for Gaia. Obviously, the entire Blue Domain has acquiesced to the fact that Dewey was the supreme leader of Gaia.
"I originally wanted to repair the cannon and help you later, but now it seems that I shouldn't need it."
"Don't bother, what instructions does the captain have for this trip?"
"I can't talk about the instructions, there is a tricky question, and I wonder if the Governor can help?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"I think this planetary cannon can be a great deterrent in Gaia, but how to get it back gives me a headache for days. I see that you have two big spaceships here, I don't know how many have been built in the Blue Domain, can you lend me one. β
Dewey felt that the circle had enough, so he went straight to the showdown. And Murray's face was cloudy.
"This person, who is a bandit, said that if he borrowed it from me, he would definitely not pay it back. If I don't lend it to him, he has helped so much this time, saving the fleet is a small matter, and helping to take down Pingzu is a big matter. It's a little unsatisfactory, so I simply gave it to him, which not only returned a favor, but also didn't seem stingy. β
"Truth be told, the entire civilization now only has these two things. But our family doesn't talk to each other, Dewey will take it away if he likes it, and he will be stationed in Gaia, the best of both worlds. β
"Then I'll thank Governor Murray for the people of all Gaia."
The Gonggong soon completed the handover, and to the surprise of the entire crew, they agreed to accompany the ship to guard Gaia, much to Murray's mixed feelings.
The Black Hole Rescue lasted for 2 months, and all but 2,000 warships on the edge of the horizon were rescued. According to the statistics of military attrition, more than 14,000 V86 warships, more than 70,000 large comprehensive warships, and 230 million airships were consumed in the whole war. It is not an exaggeration to describe the heavy casualties. All who are alive understand that it is a fluke to be able to count casualties here today.
"Report to the FΓΌhrer, Pingzu Pass has been taken. However, the loss situation is not optimistic, and the mother planet is requested to send another fleet to garrison it to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. β
At the same time, Murray used his participating troops to build a strong defensive line at the end of the pass. Monitors were also released on a large scale, heading to all monitoring gates of the light-year accident. The pace of the Blue Domain civilization has once again moved forward, which is the result of decades of scientific and technological achievements, energy, productivity, and the lives of nearly 300 million people in the entire galaxy.
Chen Yang, Hanes and others took advantage of the chaos of the war to officially disguise themselves as Kamon people, and with the withdrawal of Kamon's troops, they went to the depths of this mysterious civilization to meet the next unknown.
The entire Camon civilization's range of activities has been compressed again, and Wujiang and others have been recalled to build fortifications near the galaxy again?
"There are more than 80,000 warships, and countless airships? How much did we lose? β
"When the two giant ships opened fire, there were 40,000 warships in the Sekido and they did not withdraw. The planetary fortress was destroyed, and the planetary cannon was captured. β
"It's acceptable, it's generally earned, and so many people have died. General Minsaro, you have brought peace to Carmon for at least 10 years. Reward you with texture upgrades, and you can say goodbye to Orange Pattern in the future, and you can enjoy all the rights of Color Pattern. β
Once again, Minsaro felt the grace of God and bowed down in thanks
"In addition, you have another mission, go to the Bill Line to help me set up defenses, and the next war will be commanded by me personally."
