Chapter 17, Interstellar Escape
The corvette of the pirates has long since disappeared without a trace.
Xingchen piloted the air and space fighter to look at the transport spacecraft that had been burned into a ruin, and a sense of powerlessness was born in his heart, so many people died innocently like this, becoming victims of the interests of certain forces, how innocent and unfortunate it was!
In this era of the jungle, in the eyes of many big people, human life is as cheap as mustard!
In the following days, Xingchen will have to face the predicament in front of him, and how to survive now is the most important thing.
Xingchen first checked the weapons and energy left on the air and space fighter.
After the continuous battle just now, only half of the energy on the air and space fighter remains, and the weapon only has one particle missile left, and the rapid-fire laser cannon still has two bars of energy, and it is estimated that it will be able to shoot more than a dozen cannons.
The cosmic food can last for a week, and if you save it, you should be able to last for half a month.
After checking what he had left, Xingchen began his interstellar escape journey.
On the way to escape, he didn't know what else to encounter, Xingchen didn't dare to consume the remaining energy, he turned off the thrusters and all the instruments that consumed energy, and only turned on the search radar to observe the surrounding situation.
Xingchen is not worried that the pirates will chase after him, after all, the other party has also suffered heavy losses by himself, and he needs to rest and replenish if he wants to fight again, and the mysterious man in black means that he wants Xingchen to be tortured and finally fend for himself in loneliness and fear.
Even if the pirate installed a positioning system on this air and space fighter, the effect would not be very large, and if it exceeded a certain distance, the signal would not be detected.
With the cosmic undercurrent drifting, it was already the tenth day, and the lonely star sat in the fighter plane, aimlessly floating in the vast universe like a fallen leaf.
Xingchen opens the on-board star map and looks for the closest planet to him.
The current location of the star is in a desert star field on the edge of Orion, where the environment is harsh, the planets are cold, dark and lifeless, and the nearest living star is Odora, which is more than ten light years away.
The aerospace fighter is only a light flying fighter, and the energy it carries is not much, let alone a dozen light years, even a few tenths of a light year can not fly!
At this moment, the alarm of the search radar suddenly beeped, and the radar screen showed a dense group of small bright spots constantly approaching.
What is that?
Xingchen was stunned and looked at the bright spots on the screen a little blindfolded.
It's a meteorite! Meteor shower!
Xingchen suddenly came to his senses.
A large group of meteorites, black pressure that spreads endlessly, and floats at a very fast speed.
Xingchen didn't even think about it, immediately activated the thrusters of the air and space fighters, turned around and ran.
But now it's too late to get out of the way.
Xingchen drove the air and space fighter in front, and the meteorite rain chased behind, at this speed, it won't be long before the meteorite rain will catch up.
Xingchen was a little anxious, it was not a way to run down like this, this meteorite group was too huge, and when the energy of the air and space fighters was exhausted, it would not be able to maneuver, and the final outcome would be to be smashed by these meteorites, including himself, and there was not even a slag left.
Now we must fly to the edge of this group of meteorites!
Xingchen immediately changed course and began to fly diagonally in the Aerospace Fighter, but this caused the meteorite to approach faster.
Dodging the meteorite rain that had already flown over, Xingchen piloted the air and space fighter to do his best, dodging left and right, shuttling up and down in the meteorite rain.
At this time, Xingchen was not so nervous when he was fighting with the pirates.
The large diameter of these meteorites is several kilometers, and the small ones are the size of a fist.
It's too dense, it's okay to say that the big ones are too small, and the meteorites that are too broken are hard to guard against.
At this moment, Xingchen's forehead, back, and palms were full of cold sweat, and there was a clanging sound on the fuselage of the aerospace plane from time to time, and there were bursts of shaking from the fuselage, which was a small meteorite hitting the aerospace fighter.
Hold on! Old folk! I'll be able to fly you out!
Xingchen gritted his teeth, his handsome face slightly distorted by nervousness, and he patted the bridge to himself and muttered to himself to himself on the air fighter.
Slowly, the stars discovered a pattern, those large meteorites travel faster than smaller meteorites, but this difference is not very obvious, and it is difficult to find it if you don't observe carefully.
With a long exhale, a smile immediately appeared on Xingchen's face, this time he was saved!
Whether this method works or not, you can only try it first, and you can't sit still.
At this time, there happened to be a large meteorite with black pressure flying over, Xingchen no longer hesitated, and hurriedly piloted the air and space fighter to slowly approach, and then flew next to this big meteorite.
Carefully dodging other meteorites, Xingchen finally piloted the air fighter and slowly landed in a recess on the back of this large meteorite.
The rest of the days were much easier, the stars hitched a ride on this large meteorite, but much faster than before letting the air and space fighters drift through the universe.
In the end, whether they can get rid of this group of meteorites has to be left to fate.
Three days later, Xingchen didn't know how far the meteorite group had traveled, and before the meteorites were about to collide with a huge white dwarf, Xingchen drove the air fighter out of the meteorite group with the help of the white dwarf.
After breaking away from the meteorite group, the stars continued to float aimlessly in the universe.
Three days later, Xingchen lay on the seat weakly, and the last small bag of space food went down to his stomach, which gave him a little energy.
Xingchen thought to himself that he had run out of food, and that the energy fuel of the Aerospace Fighter had run out after escaping the meteorite swarm.
This time it's really exhausted, it seems that the master is really going to explain, hey, the ambition is not rewarded!
I don't know how long it has been, half-asleep and half-awake Xingchen had a lot of hiding dreams, some in the Falling Star View childhood, some in the welfare school when he was a student, some in the research base, the old Taoist grandfather, the bean sprouts grandfather, and the teacher Professor Long, one by one, one scene after another, so that he wandered in the dream and did not want to wake up!
Dudu tutu, how can there be an alarm in a dream? Xingchen woke up violently.
It's the alarm sound of the search radar! Could it be that another meteorite group has been found nearby?
After waking up, Xingchen was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
If it weren't for the sound of the radar alarm to wake me up, I am afraid that I would have fallen asleep forever and finally died quietly in my sleep.
Xingchen hurriedly pounced on the display of the search radar, and looked excitedly at the light spot that appeared on the display.
It really is a planet! This is a planet that is not marked on the cosmic star chart!
What an endless road!
Without caring about saving energy, Xingchen excitedly piloted the air and space fighter and flew over.
