Chapter 12: A New Journey
The days seem to fly fast in the happy time, and before I know it, spring comes and goes, and another five years have passed.
Xingchen has studied under Professor Long Zhenguo for six years, and this time, he lived up to expectations, as the only selected student in the solar system, to enter the highest university of the Orion Dynasty in the galaxy, the famous "Amanro" Science and Technology City, what a glorious and fortunate thing!
For tens of thousands of years, the Orion Dynasty, as a powerful dynasty with moderate governance and no advocacy of outward expansion and aggression, has maintained good political, scientific, technological, human, economic and trade exchanges with the earth.
As a member and dependent, the Earth has given the Orion Dynasty firm support in the competition for power and resources in the galaxy.
On the contrary, the Orion Dynasty also gave great support to the earth in science and technology, and personnel training.
The city of Amanro Technopolis is the top high-level university of the Orion Dynasty, even in the galaxy, it can be regarded as the top high-level school, where it has a higher level of scientific knowledge and technology than Earth.
For the future prosperity of his hometown earth, Xingchen embarked on a journey of study.
Today is the day when Xingchen departs for Amoro Technopolis to study.
Xingchen stands in front of the tall curtain window of the interstellar aircraft carrier. Looking up at the bright starry sky, the aircraft carrier stretched out two semicircular arms into the deep space, forming a huge embrace, like a mother welcoming her child home from a long journey.
Ships in and out of the home port shuttle back and forth, and the interstellar aircraft home port is a busy scene.
Xingchen stood in front of the security entrance, waved goodbye to his relatives and friends who saw him off, boarded interstellar flight 52011, and found his seat under the guidance of a beautiful flight attendant with a melon seed face.
Xingchen is sixteen years old this year, probably because he has been practicing boxing and manipulating mecha all year round, and he is a little precocious, with a height of nearly one meter and eighty. The typical Oriental face is immature but heroic, with black hair scattered at the back of his head.
A white linen shirt on the top and dark blue jeans on the bottom give people a refreshing and flowing feeling.
The beautiful stewardess was a little overzealous, Xingchen smiled and thanked her, and the beautiful stewardess's face immediately bloomed with a blush, nodded politely at Xingchen, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the sitting number, No. 118 in District C, it is really an auspicious number, indicating that it should be a pleasant trip!
Xingchen thought happily to himself, lying on his back in a large and comfortable seat, waiting for the ship to set sail.
Xingchen casually put on the headset on the seat, and Beethoven's piano song "Silent Summer in the Night Sky" came from the headset, and the ethereal and soothing melody struck Xingchen's heart, playing the most beautiful music in this galaxy.
Looking up at the bright starry sky outside the porthole, an infinite reverie rose in the heart of the stars for a moment.
The childhood life in the Falling Star View, the hard work of studying when he grew up, the hard work of learning mecha skills, and the increasingly blurred face of his grandfather.
The scenes looked like they had just happened yesterday, but they seemed so unreal.
The ship shuddered, pulling back the thoughts of the stars flying.
The spaceship that Xingchen was riding slowly broke away from the mechanical arm of the aircraft carrier, the spacecraft thrusters spewed out blue flames, and the spacecraft gradually accelerated, and there was a momentary feeling of weightlessness, which was the ship's detachment from the gravitational pull of the earth.
Xingchen leaned over the porthole and looked back, and the beautiful blue planet grew smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the distant galaxy.
Waiting for me to come back, Earth!
Xingchen said in his heart!
The voyage was about 500 light-years and about ten days, and the destination was the planet Amanro.
The spacecraft 52011 that Xingchen was flying on was an interstellar flight, part of the Orion Dynasty United Shipping Alliance.
This is the latest model of civil luxury tourist flight, with a star-colored streamlined hull, six floors long and more than 300 meters long, carrying more than 2,000 passengers.
The spacecraft's propulsion system is equipped with four eighth-generation plasma thrusters, which can reach speeds of two light-years per cosmic hour.
And the second-generation photonic thruster that has just been developed can only reach a speed of one-half light-year per cosmic hour.
But if there is a higher technological breakthrough in photonic thrusters, theoretically speaking, they will reach speeds of more than five light-years per hour.
If this technology is successfully researched, it will be a major and subversive historical advance in space science and technology.
Xingchen has been engaged in the research of photonic thrusters with Professor Long. This time, I was able to go to the more advanced Amanro Science and Technology City to study and exchange and learn with the elites of various galaxies, and Xingchen's heart was full of longing and expectation.
Suddenly, there was a jolting and shaking of the ship.
Toot, toot, toot! The star, who was in deep meditation, was awakened by the sudden sound of an alarm, and the passengers in the cabin, who did not know what was going on, panicked.
Ladies and gentlemen! An emergency alert has been issued, our ship is being intercepted by an interstellar pirate, and the captain is negotiating with the pirates, so please stay calm! Stay calm!
The voice of the announcer announcing the situation came from the speaker, but it was just a sweet and elegant voice in the past, but it seemed a little nervous and hurried at the moment.
Xingchen looked out of the porthole, and saw two dark and ugly starships about 100 meters long and dark and ugly suspended in the direction of the spaceship a few miles away.
The huge laser cannons and open missile bays on the starship are clearly visible. Look at the size and scale should be the tonnage of the interstellar corvette.
The hull of this battleship is painted with a flying star shark with a pair of fleshy wings and a grinning mouth that shows sharp teeth, which makes people feel terrified!
Star pirates? Idol!
Unlike other panicked travelers, Xingchen seemed a little excited at this moment.
As a child, Xingchen had heard many stories about interstellar pirates. These stories have accompanied him as a child, and the thrilling and bizarre legends of pirates have fascinated Xingchen for a long time.
When he was a teenager, Xingchen once dreamed that one day he would be able to become an interstellar pirate, roaming freely in the infinite space and galloping between the stars.
Like a knight, he fights for righteousness and eradicates injustice!
Treasure hunting to discover the endless treasures of the universe!
Suddenly, Xingchen sensed a hint of danger!
A dazzling ball of light flickered outside the spaceship, and then there was an explosion in my ears, a violent vibration, the lights in the cabin flickered and flickered, the beeping sirens became more rapid and piercing, and the passengers screamed and scurried around.
Xingchen's heart was shocked, is it a missile weapon attack?
Xingchen's first instinct was to roll out of his seat. Thinking that these pirates actually attacked this civilian ship?
Bastards, robbers, and vicious! What happened in reality changed the naïve perception of interstellar pirates!
