Chapter 545: Crossing the Void
Helic Planetary Fortress.
The Coalition Army's accompanying researchers quickly arrived at the spaceport, where a fanged Lion-class space battleship was quietly moored on, known from the board number [CYS-ZL-001] to be the flagship of the attacking fleet.
Next to the Tusked Lion class there is also a row of battleships, which are all ships that meet the fleet.
Many maintenance workers and researchers have been inspecting the battleships, and the battleships have not been directly attacked by dark energy beams or dark energy particle streams, but some very small dark energy beams are impossible to prevent.
The vast majority of the damage caused by these tiny beams of dark energy is less than centimeters, and these damage may not seem serious, but over time, it can cause unpredictable and catastrophic consequences, so it must be repaired, and even the external armor and parts replaced.
Zhang Fubo, Andrew and the others came down from the flagship, Wang Tiejun and Fan Lijia were already waiting for them below, while the second detachment of Titov and Lin Yaodong's Assault Fleet had returned to the Helic Planetary Fortress a few months earlier.
"Commander-in-Chief Wang! I failed the alliance and didn't bring everyone back. Zhang Fubo said with tears in his eyes.
Wang Tiejun patted him on the back: "War is a gun without eyes, we say that life and death cannot be predicted, at least you have eliminated the invaders and comforted the souls of the victims in the sky." β
"......" Zhang Fubo was depressed, after all, it was 427 brothers who got along day and night, and he was buried in the void like this, he couldn't accept it for a while, although he knew the cruelty of the war, but many people felt uncomfortable.
"Let's go! Go for a drink, I'm in for a treat. Wang Tiejun pulled Zhang Fubo and turned his head again: "You guys also come together." β
"Then we're welcome." Andrew quickly diverted the topic.
The others also tried not to mention the counterattack, frolicking and scolding towards the bar, and there were many soldiers and citizens floating around the spaceport along the way.
Although the Helic Planetary Fortress is a military stronghold in the Polaris Zone, there are still many citizens who live and work here.
Now the Polaris sector is due to the defense of the Third Army, which has a standing army of 8.3 million people and manages 22 detachments and 17 large and small planetary fortresses.
And the Helic Planetary Fortress, which is the headquarters of the Third Army, has 1.8 million soldiers alone, so many people can't live without a little life and entertainment industry, right? So there are a lot of citizens who immigrate here from Blue Star to do business, like bars, game halls, and restaurants on Planet Helik.
Suddenly, a group of people and Wang Tiejun, Zhang Fubo and others came to meet them, Wang Tiejun was stunned and greeted with a smile: "Colonel Ma Wu, are you leaving today?"
The person who came was none other than Ma Wu, the captain of the Explorer, who saluted and replied, "Commander-in-Chief Wang! We're about to go, are they?"
Wang Tiejun smiled and introduced: "Zhang Fubo, the commander of the fleet. β
Hearing this name, Ma Wu immediately reacted, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet: "I have admired the name for a long time, our explorer and the attack fleet passed by before, and it is a great honor to meet Lieutenant General Zhang." β
"Colonel Ma Wu's courage is admirable, I wish Junxing a smooth road!" Zhang Fubo shook hands and wished.
"I also wish Lieutenant General Zhang a smooth star road."
Ma Wu and a few people exchanged a few words and then left with the team.
Looking at the back of Ma Wu and his party leaving, Zhang Fubo whispered to Wang Tiejun and asked, "Is the Explorer going to set off again?"
Wang Tiejun shook his head and replied, "It's not the Explorer, it's the Superlighter!" The Superlight is the curvature spacecraft of the Alliance, which has just been developed as an experimental product, and the spacecraft that looks like a dumbbell over there is the Superlighter. β
Zhang Fubo looked around, and sure enough, there was a dumbbell-like spaceship in the berthing area, he thought it was some special equipment before, but he didn't expect it to be a spaceship.
"Has the Coalition's curvature ship come out?"
"The FΓΌhrer personally took action to complete the verification of the theory of all things and the theory of great unification, the technology of the curvature spacecraft has been equipped, this is the first experimental curvature spacecraft, Ma Wu has experience in starry sky voyages, so he sent them to pilot the Superlighter." Wang Tiejun explained.
"I see, I wonder how fast the curvature ship can be?" Zhang Fubo asked with concern.
"It seems that it can fly faster than the speed of light, but I don't know how much it can go exceeding." At the end, Wang Tiejun spread his hands.
β¦β¦
The 7 people of Ma Wu came to the berthing area, and the Superlight was moored at the No. 33 berth, and the combatant Lin Zhiqiu said with a smile: "It's really like a dumbbell!" β
"Flying faster than light, I don't know what it's like?" The co-pilot, Masayoshi Kobayashi, leaned his back against the "dumbbell spaceship" and took a selfie while talking.
"Let's get on board!" Ma Wu commanded.
The group soon boarded the superlight, and among the people who tested the spacecraft with Ma Wu and the others, there was also a researcher Wang Guofu, who developed the curvature spacecraft.
The built-in settings of the curvature spaceship are in the same vein as the other ships of the Alliance, and they look much the same, and under the explanation of artificial intelligence and Wang Guofu, they quickly skillfully operate the Superlight to fly out of port.
The curvature engine could not be started near the port, and the Superlighter, operated by Mabu and Kobayashi Masayoshi, used the photon engine to fly westward above the sun.
"Captain, we're already 3 units away from Planet Helix." Kobayashi turned his head and said.
Ma Wu looked at the holographic display: "Adjust the direction, turn off the photon engine and start the curvature engine after ten minutes." β
"Yes." Masayoshi Kobayashi immediately adjusted the flight direction of the Superlighter, and their flight direction this time was roughly the Tianyuan Four Galaxy (Ξ΅ Wave Constellation), and the Tianyuan Four Galaxy was 10.5 light-years away from the solar system.
This distance is just right, if it is too close to the solar system, and a ship with an accidental curvature overheads and crashes into the galaxy, then play Dafa.
After all, it is the first time to test the curvature spacecraft, and no one knows how fast the superlight is, although the curvature spacecraft research and development department estimates that it is about 3 times the speed of light, but where exactly it will go is debatable.
Ten minutes later.
The photon engine stalled.
"10% power." Ma Wu commanded.
Masayoshi Kobayashi adjusted the engine power to 10% and pulled down the pushrod.
The gravitational and low gravitational fields in front of and behind the Superlight began to show invisible fluctuations that could only be detected by gravitational wave radar, and soon the gravitational fluctuations became larger and larger.
In an instant, the Superlight moved, and that movement was very strange, as if it had suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared.
"Enter the Transition Mode." Kobayashi said.
However, everyone did not feel the overload feeling of the sub-light spacecraft, that is because the curvature spacecraft itself is not moving in the state of transition, it is moved by the space pulling a piece.
Ma Wu looked at the quantum communication system that could still be used, so he contacted Helik, but the positioning system had failed, and in the state of migration, there was no way to locate and sense the surrounding situation, so they could only go to the dark.
An hour later.
"Turn off the engine." Ma Wu commanded.
Masayoshi Kobayashi immediately pulled down the push rod, and suddenly the curvature spacecraft stopped, the brakes of the curvature spacecraft were very simple, it had no inertia, and as soon as the engine was turned off, it was stationary.
Wang Guofu on the side hurriedly calculated the speed, and through the positioning system for starlight and quantum communication, the position of the spacecraft could be calculated, and with the position and flight time, the flight speed could be calculated.
