"How much energy is left on the ship?" Cai Qi asked.

"67, General."

"That's all!" Cai Qi chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition suddenly came up.

Cai Qi silently calculated in his heart, if according to the current consumption rate, when the fleet arrives near the imperial capital, I am afraid that the fleet's energy reserves will not even be 40.

Attacking the imperial capital will definitely be another big battle, and it will be difficult to hold out until the war is won with these energy reserves alone. The more Cai Qi thought about it, the more anxious he became, but the current situation made him helpless.

In order to capture the imperial capital, it was necessary to take a quick approach, which also caused the fleet to have no time to stop and wait for the energy reserves to slowly recover.

Cai Qi turned his head and asked the captain, "What is the current speed?" ”

The captain looked at the computer and replied, "About 150 knots." ”

"Can you increase the speed a little bit, to about 200 knots?" Cai Qi asked.

"If you speed up...... The danger factor of the fleet will increase significantly, and I am afraid it will ......," the captain said hesitantly.

"I know it's not safe enough, but our energy is depleting too fast now, so we won't have enough energy to participate in the war when we get to the imperial capital." Cai Qi said.

The captain sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll increase the speed to 200 knots, but it can't be any faster, it's too dangerous to go any faster." ”

Cai Qi nodded in agreement, and the captain turned to the operator and ordered: "Increase the speed to 200 knots, and at the same time notify the entire fleet to increase the speed to 200 knots." ”

As the speed increases, the artificial intelligence system begins to issue a warning: "Warning, the speed is too high, and the danger factor has exceeded the maximum permissible value." ”

Cai Qi said impatiently: "Turn off the warning!" ”

However, the warning shutdown does not mean that the AI system is closed, and it is at this moment that the protective layer that protects the bridge suddenly rises, wrapping the bridge tightly.

"What's going on?" Cai Qi asked puzzled.

The captain shouted, "Not good! If there is going to be an impact, everyone get down! ”

Before the words could be spoken, the battleship shook violently, and many people were shaken to the ground, and all kinds of objects flew in all directions, and everywhere became a mess.

Before everyone could stand up, there was another violent shaking, and everyone had to lie on the ground honestly, never daring to stand up easily.

"Warning, continuous impact is imminent, please pay attention to all personnel." Once again, the AI system has issued a warning.

Cai Qi lay on the floor and asked loudly, "How's the situation?" Will it cause significant harm? ”

The captain checked the various readings and replied loudly: "It's okay, it won't cause serious damage, but the impact is ...... I'm afraid it will go on forever! ”

Cai Qi gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, keep moving forward and rush over in one go!" ”

The captain sighed secretly, nodded and said, "Okay, move on!" ”

The situation of the other ships was similar, but the flagship showed no signs of slowing down, and the other captains naturally did not dare to slow down casually, so the whole fleet continued to move forward in the continuous impact.

Due to the constant collision of various things, the surface of the hull of each warship was soon covered with large and small potholes, and many instruments and weapons installed on the exterior of the ships were also damaged to varying degrees.

The interior of the ship shook very much, and although it did not affect the continuation of the voyage, the crew of the ship suffered enough, and it was difficult for them to stand up, let alone move.

At this time, one of Cai Qi's staff members finally crawled to Cai Qi's side and said to Cai Qi: "General, it can't go on like this, you can't do anything, I have a way, just turn off the gravity system, so that at least you can continue to work." ”

Cai Qi thinks about it and thinks it makes sense, he really can't do anything like now, so it's better to turn off the gravity system, although it is also very inconvenient, but at least he continues to work.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cai Qi nodded.

"Summons, turn off the gravity system!" Cai Qi said to the captain.

The captain replied, "Understood! ”

Soon the artificial intelligence issued a reminder: "Attention, attention, the gravity system is about to shut down, please protect yourself...... The countdown to close begins, ten, nine, eight, seven......"

As the gravity system was turned off, everyone suddenly felt that they had become light and fluttering, and their bodies involuntarily levitated.

Due to the gravity system in the ship, which is usually in place, it was suddenly turned off, and many people felt uncomfortable, and the ship became extremely chaotic in an instant.

All kinds of tools in the repair garage floated up and flew everywhere in the air, and the repair workers did not have time to put away these tools, resulting in many minor injuries.

The same situation appeared in almost every part of the ship, such as the galley, which became the hardest hit area, all kinds of sharp knives and kitchen utensils flew everywhere, frightened the staff to hide with their heads hugged, and countless injured people.

However, this is not a major problem for the entire fleet, and Cai Qi is not in the mood to care about it now.

The shutdown of the gravity system, although it caused a lot of trouble to the work inside the ship, gave Cai Qi new inspiration.

Cai Qi said to the captain floating in the air: "What is the current energy reserve?" ”

"Probably less than 60." The captain looked effortlessly at the readings on the instrument and replied.

"If you shut down some of the systems, can you save some energy?" Cai Qi asked.

"Yes, General, this does save some energy."

"Well, shut down all the unnecessary systems and try to save as much energy as possible." Cai Qi ordered.

"But...... This will cause a lot of trouble for various jobs, and the environment inside the ship will become unbearable. ”

"I don't care! Turn off those unnecessary systems now and turn them on when you get to your destination! Cai Qi said in an unquestioning tone.

"All right, General." The captain replied helplessly.

"Turn off the thermostat." The captain said to the operator.

"This ......" the operator hesitated for a moment, then said: "This will make the temperature inside the ship rise rapidly, I'm afraid it will ......"

"This is the general's order, carry out the order immediately!" The captain yelled with some exasperation.

"Yes!"

"Turn off the ship's surveillance system, turn off the emergency life support system......" the captain continued to order.

With the closure of one system after another, many things that people have long taken for granted and would not normally pay attention to them begin to become prominent.

"What's going on? Why is it getting hotter and hotter? ”

"yes, it's going to be hot. Also, the air is terrible, it smells weird......"

"Hey! Who turned off the automatic conveyor? The parts warehouse is so far away, how can I get there? ”

"Stupid! Now there's no gravity, you just float slowly! ”

"Ah, I forgot about it......"

Many departments asked if there was something wrong with the general control room, and the people in the general control room had to ask the captain again, and the captain could only tell them that this was the general's order, and everyone was asked to find a way to overcome it themselves.

When the crew heard that this was the general's order, they complained one after another, scolding Cai Qi for not treating the soldiers as human beings, and some said that they would come to petition collectively.

The captain told Cai Qi about these situations, and Cai Qi didn't care whether these soldiers were happy or not, and said to the captain with a cold face: "They can't stand it for a few hours, what should they do when they get to the battlefield?" Tell the people below that if anyone complains again, let the Overseers lock them all up! ”

Now Cai Qi doesn't want to understand how dissatisfied the soldiers are, only energy is what he cares about, don't want to win the battle without energy, everyone has to die if you can't win the battle.

Cai Qi sent the captain away, and asked the adjutant to pass on the order, all ships should be like flagships, shut down various systems to achieve the purpose of saving energy.

As soon as the order was given, all ships were in an uproar, but no one dared to disobey the order of the fleet commander, so they could only handle it honestly. So the soldiers of all ships began to complain, and they cursed Cai Qi for not dying well, completely ignoring the feelings of the soldiers.

Fortunately, the officers at all levels did their best to dissuade them, so that there was no chaos of mutiny, but a wave of dissatisfaction and skepticism had quietly spread in the fleet.

"How much time do you have left to get out of the asteroid belt?" Cai Qi asked.

"It's about another five hours."

"How much energy is in reserve?"

“55。”

Hearing this, Cai Qi nodded with satisfaction, although he was also sweating profusely now, but he was relatively satisfied with the energy situation, as long as he left the asteroid belt, the defensive shield could be temporarily put away, and the energy consumption could be reduced at that time.

Along the way, harassing attacks were always accompanied by the fleet, although from time to time, the fleet did not dare to put away the defensive cover, and could only keep it open, which caused a huge energy consumption.

"If only I could stop somewhere......" Cai Qi thought regretfully, "It's really not a good thing to be in such a state and immediately enter the battle." ”

Five hours later, the Lion fleet finally walked out of the asteroid belt completely, and Cai Qi ordered the ships to put away their defensive shields, restore the various systems that had been shut down, and everything finally returned to normal.

Not only the soldiers were relieved, but so were the officers, who could not imagine if the previous situation had lasted for a few more hours, and they would have been able to suppress the restless soldiers.

Cai Qi looked at the unicorn galaxy on the big screen, and several planets appeared above the canopy, among which the azure planet was particularly eye-catching, and that was their target, the imperial capital Tianhan Star.

"Imperial Capital, we're here! Wait to welcome your new owner! Cai Qi said silently in his heart.

At this time, Cai Qi's adjutant came to his side and said, "General, I just received news from the Tiger Fleet and the Flying Wolf Fleet, they have also passed through the asteroid belt and are heading towards the imperial capital. ”

"Good! Next is to seize the imperial capital! Cai Qi said loudly.
