Six months later, Hara's command ship, the Combined Fleet, met with the Third Space City Group at a distance of about 0.49 light-years from the Alpha Centauri system. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the Third Space City Group is in a phase of continuous deceleration, and its speed is about 0.11 times the speed of light.

Shortly after leaving the Alpha Centauri system, Yuan received post-disaster feedback from the Third Space City Group. Due to their distance from the area of the core outbreak of gamma-ray bursts. So, it didn't cause too much damage overall. Only a very small number of very sensitive electronic components have been destroyed, and all repairs have now been completed.

Therefore, Yuan Haochen did not stay for the Third Space City Group, but after a little explanation through radio communication, he continued to fly in the direction of the solar system non-stop.

Shortly after leaving the Third Space City Group, Yuan received post-disaster feedback from the Fourth Space City Group. Similar to the situation of the Third Space City Group, they were not affected by the gamma-ray burst too severely.

According to the flight plan, Hara's command ship, the Combined Fleet, will meet the Fourth Space City Group at a position of about 1.6 light-years from the Alpha Centauri system in a year and one month. Theoretically, if it goes well, before meeting the Fourth Space City Group, Yuan Hao Chen will be able to receive a post-disaster feedback message from the Fifth Space City Group.

A whole year has passed, and the command ship where Yuan Haochen is located has received a lot of messages from various different units, but there is no information from the Fifth Space City Group and the Earth Defense Camp.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the fleet has detected the location of the Earth Four Space City Group."

A young staff member reported to Yuan Haochen.

"According to the plan, start slowing down and prepare to dock at the Fourth Space City Set!" Yuan Haochen ordered succinctly.

"Yes!!"

In the vast, pitch-black space, a total of five frigates formed a flight formation with the command ship that Yuan Haochen was riding, and sailed towards the Third Space City Group at an extremely low speed.

The other more than 100 frigates continued to fly in the direction of the solar system at an appropriately reduced speed. Because, Yuan Haochen will not stay in the Fourth Space City Group for too long, and it is a great waste of resources for all spaceships to go through a deceleration and acceleration process again.

The six spaceships were successfully moored to the Space City, the center of the Fourth Space City Group.

In the No. 6 entrance square on the east side of the central space city, the main officials of the fourth space city group had already greeted and waited for the arrival of Yuan Haochen and others.

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief. I'm Thomas, the commander of the Fourth Space City group. ”

When Yuan Haochen and his party walked out of the command ship, a burly middle-aged man took the lead in welcoming them.

"Thomas, it's nice to meet you, you've all worked hard." Yuan Haochen greeted.

Under the leadership of Thomas, Yuan Haochen and the others quickly learned about the damage of the entire Fourth Space City Group after being affected by gamma-ray bursts.

Although the actual damage of the Fourth Space City Group is not very serious, it is indeed far more than the Third Space City Group.

"A total of 1,034 people died and 35,672 people were injured by radiation of varying degrees in this gamma-ray burst accident. The casualties were mainly engineers working in space during the passage of gamma rays, including those who carried out the external maintenance of the Space City and the development of deep space resources. ”

In the Central Space City Hospital, Yuan Haochen visited some of the injured and encouraged everyone to be full of confidence, because the disaster has passed, and the future will be a new and hopeful life!

"There are a total of 5 frigates, 7 deep space resource development spacecraft are damaged, and they have been repaired." Thomas, commander of the Fourth Space City Group, continued to introduce to Yuan Chen, "Other damaged electronic equipment has also been repaired. ”

"Well, the most important job at the moment is to take care of the sick and wounded, and the families of the casualties."

"Please rest assured, commander-in-chief!" Thomas replied earnestly.

In the coming time, the Fourth Space City group will continue to sail towards the Alpha Centauri system, which is expected to take another 12 years to reach its destination. In the work of rebuilding the earth's civilization after the disaster, the federal government of interstellar immigration has made detailed arrangements for each space city group, and even for each space city, so the fourth space city will immediately assume new and important responsibilities after arriving at its destination.

......

A day later, six rays of light pierced the inky cosmic starry sky and continued to fly rapidly in the direction of the solar system.

A month later, Yuan Chen's command ship caught up with the forward convoy at the fastest speed, and reorganized the command ship joint fleet, continuing to advance in the direction of the solar system at 0.9 times the speed of light.

In the past month, Yuan Haochen still hasn't received any information from the Fifth Space City Group, and the Earth Defense Camp has not heard from anywhere.

The longer it drags on, the worse it gets! Everyone is aware of what the current situation means.

Could it be that the communication system of the Fifth Space City Group and the Earth Defense Camp has been completely destroyed, and they don't even have the ability to rebuild the communication system?!

Even though it takes some time and effort to rebuild a light-year telecommunications system, it is worrying that nothing has been heard after such a long delay.

In addition, according to the damage report provided by the crisis research team, 41.4% of the electronic equipment of the Fifth Space City Group will be destroyed by powerful radiation, and if their space city loses its life support system and ecological circulation system, then the normal survival of the residents of the space city will be greatly threatened.

To make matters worse, if the Fifth Space City Group's central computer systems and autonomous GNC (navigation) systems are compromised, then all the Space City and flight units may be thrown into disarray, or even lost in the vast expanse of space.

And the destruction of long-range means of communication is tantamount to adding insult to injury. Because, in the eyes of the first, third, and tenth Falcon convoys that went to the rescue, the Fifth Space City Group, which does not have the ability to communicate and may deviate from the course, is no different from those asteroids wandering in the icy universe, and if you want to find them in the vast space by luck, it is not much easier than ascending to the sky......
