Aidil said: "You can first transfer the people in the spaceship to other warships and ships, and then arrange the stargate equipment on this empty spaceship, so that even if it is not successful, no one will have an accident." ”

"In that case, it would be a bit crowded with ships or ships, but it would be worth trying, at best, losing a ship.

We can also transfer all the useful things that can be removed from the ship to other ships. Well, we're going to get to work now. Gomez said, eager to try.

Edil smiled too, and for a moment both saw hope.

When Gomez's plan to try to open a new star gate was announced, the entire fleet was boiling, and after all these years of gradually losing hope, many people lost their fighting spirit, but not until the last moment, everyone still had a trace of luck.

Now, when the old leader died, the new leader came up with a plan to save himself, which gave everyone hope that if the stargate could be opened successfully, maybe the fleet would be able to reach the other side.

As long as the fleet reaches a star system, it can regain energy and materials, and the fleet can be maintained, so that this small society can be passed on from generation to generation.

If they're lucky, maybe they'll be able to meet a planet of life and get a new place to thrive.

Over the years, the scientists of the Heaven Organization have also had some fresh blood replenishment, and they don't want to look for any god's heaven anymore, they only hope to find a living planet and end the life of this wandering starry sky.

Everyone got busy again with hope, dismantling the useful items from the giant ship that had been scheduled to set up the stargates, and transporting them to another ship and other warships like ants.

Although this makes people's lives more crowded, it is a kind of hope that everyone will be in high spirits and full of energy, and they all hope to complete the relocation as soon as possible and arrange the stargate device as soon as possible.

Adil led a group of scientists, nervously calculating, hoping to successfully lay out the stargate on a spaceship much smaller than the planet.

After all, it's not as simple as reducing the layout in the same proportion, and the equipment that needs to be changed is not one or two.

Fortunately, the Stargate device was developed on the basis of the Heaven Organization's cracking alien technology, and all the technical information is there, so they can redesign it according to the situation of the spaceship.

Time flew by, and when the ship was emptied, in some places on the ship's hull, new stargate equipment began to be installed.

People waited quietly in the crowded ship and battleship, and when all the equipment was installed, the other warships in the entire fleet began to slowly move away from the stargate ship.

The Stargate spacecraft had already turned off its engine at this time, and the energy in the energy furnace had been supplied to the Stargate equipment through the energy circuit.

However, the use of energy can make the space connected by the stargate farther, and maybe it will be able to surpass the last crossing distance again?

Gomez looked at Aidil and said, "After such a long time without a reply from the Anemo God Empire, it seems that we can't contact them. Then let's start activating Stargate! ”

Edil said, "Are we opening the stargate in the direction of the Orion Arm?" ”

Gomez hesitated, the crossing more than 20 years ago was the longest in the fleet's history, unexpectedly reaching 800 light-years. As a result, the fleet that was originally in the Orion Arm Star Field directly entered the Dark Void at a distance of 600 light years.

You must know that the farthest stargate has passed through before has not exceeded 30 light years, so the fleet just wanted to move towards the edge of the Orion Arm at that time, but did not expect to fall directly into the Dark Void.

At that time, the divine envoy Carlos simply announced that he would be able to sail to the other side, because all the materials and energy were abundant at that time, and the energy also showed amazing power on the stargate.

Who would have thought that Carlos would greatly overestimate the fleet's sailing capabilities, underestimate the rate of energy consumption, and not know the scarcity of matter in the Dark Void.

Thinking of this, Gomez gritted his teeth and said, "Choose the direction of the Orion Arm, and we'll go back!" ”

Edil suddenly showed a happy look, immediately picked up the intercom, and gave the command to activate the stargate.

At this time, 18 warships and one spaceship are preparing to attack in the distance, and once the stargate is opened, the fleet will quickly speed up and rush towards the stargate.

A light appeared to flash on the surface of the spacecraft, and then 1,500 kilometers away, a water wave-like stargate slowly emerged, seemingly unstable, but gradually getting larger.

Everyone was nervous, because if the diameter of this stargate opening was too small, the battleships and ships could not pass through, and it would be a waste of this opportunity and precious energy.

The stargate is still growing, and it has gradually reached the point where the battleship can pass, because the battleship is relatively narrow and long, so the diameter of the stargate can already allow the battleship to pass through at this time.

Edil shouted into the intercom, "Immediately open the stargate to maximum power!" ”

With this order, the speed at which the stargate seemed to expand increased dramatically, and finally when it stopped, everyone finally put their minds at ease. 、

The entire stargate is twice the diameter of the ship's maximum width, enough for the ship to pass through.

"The whole fleet immediately accelerates through!" Gomez gave the order.

The engines of the 19 warships and ships spewed dazzling tail flames, and the speed continued to increase, and the entire fleet passed through the stargate at close to the top speed, and rushed towards the unknown starry sky.

Immediately after passing through the stargate, the fleet began to locate the neutron star, determine the position of the fleet, and observe the surrounding environment.

The observed surrounding situation was projected on the projection screen in the command room, and when the projection screen was looked over, it was all an endless dark void.

The galaxies were still twinkling in the distant starry sky, and everyone's hearts were gradually cooling.

At this time, the positioning coordinates of the neutron star were calculated and compared with the position before the crossing, and it was found that the fleet was about 500 light-years away from its original position!

This distance is lower than the previous time they were stuck in the Dark Void, and it seems that the stargate is built on a spaceship, which still limits the distance of the crossing.

Moreover, the orientation of the stargate is still not effectively controlled, and it was originally facing the Orion Arm, but now it is deviating to the right, which causes the Orion Arm to be 150 light-years away in a straight line.

Everyone was disappointed, and now that they have lost one spaceship, there are no more spaceships, there is no chance to lay a stargate, and the energy source has been further reduced.

The fleet is now in a desperate situation, looking at the Orion Arm from afar, and the last 150 light-years alone are not enough for the fleet to complete the voyage before the energy runs out.

"We failed!" Gomez sighed. Over the past 20 years, the fleet has traveled less than 1 light-year distance at the highest speed of the fleet, and has traveled a total of more than 8,500 astronomical units.

Although the speed of the warship has been greatly increased in recent years, thanks to the efforts of scientists, it is still desperate compared to 150 light years.

Seeing that Aidil didn't speak, Gomez continued: "The technological level of our human beings is too small compared to the vastness of the universe.

Nowadays, it is extremely difficult for such a spaceship to sail between star systems, and it often takes decades or hundreds of years, but the life span of our humans is so short. ”

Edil frowned slightly, and said: "Gomez, I remember that there was a division in the civilization level of the Aeolian Empire, and according to that division, our current technological level is estimated to only barely reach the third level of warship technology.

If we had known this, we should not have wasted energy on this kind of performance improvement, which is now running out of energy and materials.

You must know that the third-level civilization can only sail between star systems through natural wormholes, and we can only cross it by coincidence by obtaining stargate technology.

In addition, our biotechnology is even more backward, and our lifespan cannot break through to a new stage, and it is even more unable to adapt to the long space voyage. ”

Gomez said, "Yes, it's a pity that the organization's experts in biotechnology were snatched away by the Aeolus Empire, otherwise we might have made a big breakthrough by now."

A long life, for scientists, means a greater chance of breakthrough in research, otherwise halfway through the research, people are already dead, and latecomers may not be able to continue according to the ideas of their predecessors. ”

Edil said: "This time everyone must have fallen into despair, your responsibility is very heavy, you must manage everyone well, otherwise if you fall into chaos, the fleet will be even more hopeless." ”

"Two divine envoys, the big thing is not good, the 003 battleship has a self-destruct explosion, and someone detonated the energy furnace in despair."

The adjutant pushed open the door of the cabin in a panic and shouted anxiously.

Gomez couldn't help glaring at the adjutant and said, "What's the panic, inform Sanders that all important parts of the battleship and spaceship must be guarded by the Knights." In addition, let him thoroughly investigate the commanders of the Marine Corps at all levels, and all those who are pessimistic will be dismissed. ”

The adjutant hurriedly agreed, and immediately went to give the order.

Edil said with some concern: "All important parts of the battleship are guarded by the marines, how can anyone break into such a heavy place as the energy room, it seems that it is really possible that the marines themselves did it." ”

Gomez nodded: "These ordinary people are different from our Chosen One, no matter what, the Chosen One has strong perseverance and will not admit defeat easily." ”

Edil asked: "The matter of the 003 battleship is estimated to spread throughout the fleet soon, what are your plans?" Do you want to give a presentation to everyone......

Gomez shook his head and interrupted: "It's useless, after this crossing, I still haven't escaped from this dark void, and the hearts of the fleet are only afraid that they have already dispersed, and it won't have the slightest effect if they make empty speeches."

For that time, I should think about whether there is any way to extend the survival time of the fleet, but I have been asking the communication room to use that chrono communicator to send a distress signal. There is a Chinese proverb that calls a dead horse a live horse doctor, and maybe it can really connect with the Fengshen Empire. ”

There was a worried look in Ediel's eyes, and he said: "When I heard that the Wind God Empire had already stepped into a fourth-level civilization, in the past hundred years, even if there was any progress, I am afraid that it was still at the fourth-level civilization stage.

Even if you receive a signal from us, it is not a matter of time to rush here immediately. We also really need to find a way to prolong our survival. ”

Gomez said: "I hope that even if they update the chrono communicator, they don't change the oscillation frequency, otherwise they really won't be able to receive our signal." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the cabin was hurriedly slammed open by the adjutant again, and the adjutant saw that Gomez's eyes were not good, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Lord Divine Envoy, we have received a reply from the Aeolian Empire!" ”

"What?!" Gomez and Edil shouted in surprise, "Where's the reply message?!" ”

However, the adjutant didn't seem to hear Gomez's words, and his eyes looked out of the porthole behind the two of them, his mouth wide open, and a shocked expression.

Seeing this, Gomez and Edil couldn't help but look back, and they were stunned for a moment.
