"Attention of the Ministry of Communications and Information!"

"Here!"

"Identity confirmed! There is a vacancy in the power department, the connection will be carried out within 2 minutes, the work order is being issued, please be prepared to familiarize yourself with the details of the assigned task! ”

"Yes! The Ministry of Communications received it and was on standby. Jiqing moved the two command interfaces in front of him to the far right, leaving a new blank interface to the far left, this position can make him pay attention to it for the first time, after all, the new task he took over cannot be completed proficiently for a while, and he needs more energy to ensure that it is completed accurately.

"Hachi accepted the accusation and gave the mission, ready to go online."

"Yes! It's ready! ”

I've arrived.

A voice flashed in Jiqing's mind, this was a strange feeling, like an auditory hallucination, but the clear semantic expression, the familiar feeling made him immediately realize the owner of this voice, Zhao Gan.

Before Jiqing could accurately understand the meaning of this sentence, he felt that his body began to shake in another way, which was caused by the vibration of the seat driven by the spaceship itself. This vibration method is different from the way the gravitational sail fights against the dark rain just now, after the power of the gravitational sail has become smaller, the vibration in Kuafu has been reduced a lot, but now it is vibrating again, which makes Jiqing have a very panicked feeling.

Was it the main reactor that exploded? Or did the front end of the ship disintegrate?

With this panic and doubt, Jiqing tried his best to stabilize his body, because the vibration was so violent that he had completely disengaged from the seat, and it was all dependent on the restraint of the fixed strap to stabilize his original position. He felt that his internal organs were about to shift, and the scene in front of him was gradually beginning to blur, and the discomfort in his body was stimulating the nerves in his brain, he pressed his hand the counter, swallowed a few times, and looked up at the dome of the online hall, the source of all the vibrations.

Planet Ship!

This simple description of just four words, which has appeared in many materials about Renhe civilization, is one of the most eye-catching labels of this powerful cosmic race, representing the scientific and technological power that is difficult for human beings to achieve.

For countless years, Renhe civilization's outer space exploration has been navigating the universe in such an incredible way. In the process of sailing, they observe, think, study, and study while looking for the next suitable star. When the original astral matter is depleted, they will abandon this temporary residence, leaving them in the lonely space of the universe and moving to the next new star of their choice. The original star will fly to an unknown distance under the action of its own inertia, until it is captured by the gravitational field of other celestial bodies.

The new astral body will be transformed into a qualified space transportation vehicle, a process that generally only takes about 100 Earth years, and the Renhe civilization calls this process "ignition". The actual process is just as literal as it sounds, they turn the interior of the planet into a giant nuclear reactor that will provide enough energy and power for the next space voyage.

This method is very simple for Renhe civilization, and it can almost be said to be an innate individual ability, but it also has a big disadvantage, that is, it provides power for a star, which consumes a lot of material. Every two thousand years or so, each of the Renhe Exploration families will change ships, which means that they must find another suitable star during this time.

And the advantage is also obvious, that is, safety, this huge planetary spaceship in the empty interstellar space, there are few situations that can threaten it, so that the individuals of Renhe civilization can have a safe navigation process and a stable temporary living environment until they discover a new star.

Ji Qing had never thought that he would be able to see it in reality before, he had imagined what the planet ship would look like, but when the spaceship actually appeared in front of him, he was still shocked by this behemoth.

Since Renhe Civilization assisted mankind in completing the transformation of the new Kuafu, in order to avoid the influence of the gravitational field of his spaceship on Kuafu, he left Kuafu, followed them from afar, and used invisible communication to connect the two civilizations. One day later, after the first completion of their research and communication with humans, they silently left and flew to a new research site nearby, where they were more interested in spatial phenomena or unknown particle types.

In this desolate interstellar space, except for the invisible gravitational wind and the tiny bright spots of the starry sky in his field of vision, Jiqing has never seen any planet at such a close distance in his life, he has only seen the sun, the earth, Jupiter, and Mars in some video materials...... I have also stood on the top of mountains and plains on the surface of the earth and sighed at the majesty and vastness of the surface space, but no matter what kind of feeling is in the video materials, it seems that there is no more than that, this is a planet?

Jiqing's heart turned upside down, and his cognition completed a kind of sublimation at this moment. The behemoth in front of him almost obscured all the starry sky in front of Kuafu, like a black hole that suddenly appeared, swallowing up all the stellar light that had existed there.

Looking closely, this planet, which has not been illuminated by any star at close range, is not completely pitch black, but there is a kind of light that seems to be there and seeps out through the thick shell, although this light is very dim and almost invisible, but it allows the observer to feel the huge energy movement in it, in addition, there are some red lines on the surface of the planet that appear from time to time and slowly shuttle regularly, like a network of blood vessels in the human body, in which the blood is extremely dark and extremely red. It's as if the planet is a living entity.

This sudden appearance in front of the eyes immediately attracted everyone's attention, this phenomenon beyond the cognitive range of all crew members, people's first reaction was a new cosmic catastrophe, this idea quickly affected almost all crew members like a shock wave of a nuclear bomb, so that the Kwafu immediately fell into a huge panic.

"Is this the essence of Dark Rain? Veer! Veer! Don't bump into it......"

"It's over! It seems to be a black hole! How so? It turns out that the body of Dark Rain is a black hole, how could we not have discovered it! ”

"It's too close to change the voyage, and it's about to collide."

"What's going on, how did such a large celestial body suddenly appear? What is the Probe Department doing? ”

"Call the Radar Department! What's ahead? Please answer! ”

"The information is still being processed, the visual inspection is unknown, it seems to be a planet, strange? The energy response value is close to that of a star. ”

……

"It's a spaceship, a spaceship of Renhe civilization, don't panic, this is the General Headquarters, the information has been confirmed, it's a planetary spaceship of Renhe civilization, they are here......"

"Repeat...... This is the General Headquarters, and it has been confirmed that the celestial body ahead is the Renhe spacecraft. ”

This situation did not last long, and when everyone was almost desperate, the Ministry of Communications received the information of Ren and Wenming, and notified the whole ship as soon as possible.

"Saved? We are saved! ”

A common idea appeared in the minds of all people almost at the same time.

Renhe Civilization once again saved Kuafu, this time, Renhe used its huge body to block the front of Kuafu, completely accepted the invasion of Dark Rain, and immediately eliminated the continuous encroachment of Dark Rain on Kuafu. And the kind of catastrophe that is difficult for humans to resist and can easily destroy the Quafu in a single moment, when it acts on the ship's gravitational field and material density at the level of the planet in front of them, it seems so weak.

The immovable Renhe spaceship floated quietly in front of Kuafu, without any change, and the surrounding space became stable and calm again, if it weren't for the red alerts flashing everywhere on the Kuafu, the noisy information platform, and the robots rushing around to repair the hull and equipment, Jiqing seemed to have returned to the previous time and space in an instant.

The shaking of Kuafu had stopped, and as time slowly passed, the ship's damage reports that had been collected to the General Headquarters began to plummet, and the new damage data remained at a very low stage, which should be the after-effects of the dark rain. After a while, the ship's situation began to stabilize, and there were few new reports of damage other than the damage that had already been done.

The appearance of Renhe greatly increased the confidence of Kuafu's crew, and Kuafu, who was on the verge of extinction, began to be reborn.

This is one of Renhe's exploration ships? Jiqing looked at the huge black shadow in front of him in a daze, thinking in disbelief.

How high is the level of technology? In order to manipulate such a huge cosmic celestial body, Renhe Civilization was able to suddenly accelerate such a planet and accurately stop it directly in front of the Kwafu, and maintain the speed of the same as the Kwafu. The first time Jiqing saw Renhe civilization so closely, he witnessed such a miracle.

This is a civilization that truly soars through the universe. Jiqing silently compared the difference between Kuafu and Renhe in his heart.

The danger has been lifted, but the crisis has not passed, a large number of casualties, damage to equipment, the hull, are still being processed. Everyone wanted to stick to their posts until the last moment, and the order of the General Headquarters was quickly issued, and in order to ensure efficiency, the surviving crew began to implement a shift system, and some personnel were forced to rest.

The black star uses its huge gravitational pull to drive Kuafu forward, and it always maintains a fixed distance from Kuafu, which can not only maintain the stability of Kuafu's hull, but also use its huge gravitational force to give Kuafu a proper acceleration state.

In order to resist the invasion of the dark rain and avoid the relative speed of the dark rain, Kuafu took the initiative to reduce his own speed, and lost more speed under the continuous action of the subsequent gravitational sail reaction force. Now that the equipment of the whole ship has been damaged, the energy consumption is even greater, and there is no longer enough ability to complete the subsequent acceleration, so it can only rely on the assistance of the Renhe spacecraft.

From time to time, a huge particle flame bursts out from somewhere on the surface of the Renhe spacecraft, throwing thousands of tons of hot matter into space, just like the solar activity on the surface of the sun, and the reverse thrust generated by the huge energy pushes the star forward. Some of the ejected material fell to the surface of the planet under the action of gravity, forming specks of light, and the red spots of the ejection hole formed a strange pattern. This pattern, which resembles spreading wings, slowly fades under the icy temperature of cosmic space until it becomes one with the surrounding black.

The largest self-rescue operation in history is underway on the Kwafu, all the maintenance machinery that can call on the exterior of the hull is busy under the guidance of intelligent programs, and all departments inside the cabin are checking and repairing their own equipment, at this moment, everyone is like a bee on a hive.

This crisis has lost a large number of personnel and equipment, and the Pioneer Exploration Ship has also been ruthlessly swallowed up by the dark rain, and Kuafu will not have much capital to face the next space voyage in the future. Although the voyage of Heweixing is only less than half a light-year, the current Kuafu does not have enough resources to complete the next voyage, let alone complete the initial materials and equipment needed to complete the new base in Heweixing.

But all the crew members did not have time to weep for the difficulties they faced in the future, and what was now in front of everyone's eyes was to complete the restoration of Kwafu, which was the basis for everyone's survival.

The loss of the crew was very large, and the damage to the long-range communication equipment had cut off the communication between Kwafu and Shennong. In addition to reassigning the regular work of the communication department, Jiqing also took on some work in the maintenance department and the materials department at the same time, and the workload increased several times. Whenever he was scheduled to rest, he could fall asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes, and he was woken up by Hachi without feeling the passage of time in his sleep, except for being able to see the change of time on the monitor, he could confirm that he had rested for a few hours, but his tired mental state had hardly improved. He has almost no thoughts, and only relies on a spirit in his heart to support himself, and this spirit is also a human instinct, that is, to live.
