Chapter V: Unknown Areas

With the intense friction, the point of contact between the asteroid and the Voyage was magical, emitting a violent blue light. The entire landing site collapsed, and a black light could be seen streaking across the asteroid's surface, cutting a chasm with precision.

The heat generated by friction even melts part of the rock into magma. The asteroid flows bright red blood, spitting bubbles, and recounts the first injury in billions of years.

The Voyage trailed a long blue flame at its tail, a powerful stream of particles and bright red blood, leaping into the void and quickly disappearing like fireworks.

The armor of the Yuanhang was also uncomfortable, the active and passive electromagnetic response modules on the side were all out of order, and the energy interface was leaked in many places. Under the desperate friction and shock, most of the armor has lost a layer of skin, like a black coat sliding down, rolled up in the rocks, and disappeared without a trace, and even a small part of the armor has sunken.

If there is a high-precision means of electromagnetic observation, it is possible to "see" that something is constantly wriggling on the surface of the armor, like a piece of rapidly growing meat, and that is the emergency repair system of nanorobots.

These little robots have dedicated themselves to repairing the whole and preserving everyone!

Everything inside the Voyage was shaking violently, and the three cold fusion reactors were already too hot due to continued overload. Several energy chambers have leaked, and the terrible plasma is jumping unsteadily in the chambers, ready to burst at any moment. Various lines in the battleship were also damaged to varying degrees, and several were even forced to be deactivated. Everyone in the command room was fixed in their seats, leaning over, staring directly at the holographic image, and the real-time change of the battleship became the focus of everyone.

"Warning, tiny punctures in the side armor, damage to the laser defense network, scrapping of a particle spinner."

"Warning, the energy overload of the whole ship is 145%, and the cold fusion reactor will be forced to shut down after one minute."

"Warning, the collision is over in seven seconds."

“......”

The long collision time had come to an end, and in less than fifteen seconds, the entire battleship had glided sixteen kilometers against the surface of the asteroid, crossing most of the asteroid.

The Voyage was soon quiet again, and its surroundings were as gloomy as before. However, if you look closely, its armor has been severely damaged, nano-sized holes have appeared, and the nanostructures of many armor modules have been destroyed. Like a person who falls to the ground and is hit by a massive earthquake, the person may not be in a bad situation on the surface, but the internal organs are likely to have been crushed by strong longitudinal waves.

Of course, it was this poor asteroid that really hurt badly.

The direct contact area was naturally hit hard, and there was even an impossible starquake, flowing out a large amount of bright red magma, as if this "death star" came back to life, but this is probably the only trace of blood left in this corpse, and it will soon coagulate and completely lose its vitality.

The surrounding area was also affected by the aftermath of the quarrel between the two great men, and some stones flew into the sky, simply breaking away from the weak gravitational constraints of the asteroid and disappearing into the terrifying space crack pile. Fortunately, the surrounding research buildings have a simple electromagnetic protective film that can effectively dampen the impact force.

But on the whole, the entire asteroid was still shrouded in a black veil, and the faint light was quickly swallowed up by the endless night, leaving only a dead silence of more than 200 degrees below zero. The asteroid never seems to be able to fulfill its dream of getting to the stars to feel the warmth.

And the black veil seemed to be more encrypted, wrapping the asteroid tighter, without revealing a trace of stars, and even the light of the sun disappeared.

Kuiper Institute 11, in the Director's Office.

"Liu Wei, this bastard, fuck around." Heisuke Nagano is furious in a makeshift conference room for an encrypted quantum channel.

He had just come here to inspect and soon return to the Kuiper Sheriff's Office on Pluto, but he happened to encounter an unprecedented large group of spatial rifts, thinking that this was a good opportunity for him to be promoted, but as a result, an uninvited guest rushed over, no matter how much he was warned, it was useless, and in the end he even scolded, and the result was - he still bumped into. It's okay to crash into it, and it's not as terrifying as a frigate hitting a lunar base more than a hundred years ago. The key point is that a few seconds after the Yuanhang collided, the optical and radio telescopes, neutrino detection system, and passive gravitational wave detection system of the institute all failed, and none of them worked. What's worse is that the institute's quantum communication connection to the earth has been failing, and he has to scold his mother when he is angry.

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Han Qiao, the director of the research institute, said cautiously, "Please calm the anger of the hall director, the spatial crack is too dense, maybe." ”

"Really?" Nagano sneered, "So many detection methods failed at the same time? Then I don't think there's a need for the federal government to spend a lot of money on the so-called gravitational waves, neutrino detection systems, and you -- that's even more waste. ”

"Lecture Director, there is ......"

Nagano stopped the reports of several researchers, and said to himself, "What's more, quantum communication is out of order, is this possible?" I studied the theory of quantum entanglement in high school, if you are not even as good as a high school student, then I think most of the people in this institute are scum of corpse vegetarian meals, and they can't make any reputation, so it's better to withdraw it. ”

"......"

Nagano ignored the words of others and continued: "Deputy Director Liu Wei violated many laws, he ignored the normal landing regulations, and forced the landing without the permission of his superiors, which brought great losses to the battleship and the research institute; He violated several of the Mil-Laws of the Human Federation Space Force and violated many of the provisions of the battleship's operation manual. His actions not only had a huge impact on himself and Kuiper for law and order, but also undermined the normal order of the Federation. I request that the impeachment proceedings for Liu Wei be urgently initiated, that he be first detained, stripped of his duties, and that his specific culpability be tried by the Federal Military Court of the Humans. ”

……

Inside the Voyage, there was also a meeting.

Liu Wei asked, "How is it, has the quantum communication and detection system returned to normal?" ”

Hans shrugged his shoulders and said, "Quantum communication to the earth and other regions is still unreachable, but the quantum channel in the ship is normal, the spacecraft's detection system is being restarted, and the specific situation will come out soon." ”

Liu Wei nodded, and said: "Although this impact is the right way to meet actual needs, federal law will not 'open the net'. That seventy-year-old head of Nagano is bound to turn against me, and this is the best time for him to take me down and take back the power that was taken away, what do you think? ”

"We will stand with Director Liu."

"He Nagano has no ability, he abides by dogma, and he is not qualified to be the director of this department, let alone impeached Director Liu."

"We can't survive without Director Liu."

"I've never seen anyone so brazen."

“……”

Hans was the last to speak, he frowned, and said solemnly, "Nagano doesn't have much power right now. It can be said that he originally came here to eat because of his relationship, but he has little ability, at most a local director. Minister Wang Haiping has long been dissatisfied with this kind of wine bag and rice bag, but because of the figure behind it, it is not easy to make a move. ”

"Besides, our quantum communication was completely out of order during that time, and it's safe to assume that there was a similar phenomenon at the Kuiper 11 Institute, and if it was handled, no one would know what happened during this time. So we can cut it first and then play it, and besides, the force is basically in our hands, as long as we strike first, then he will definitely die. ”

The atmosphere was a bit oppressive, and in the entire slightly dim and stuffy command room, apart from holograms, there was probably only a faint light emitted by particle lights. There was a dead silence all around, and many people sat awkwardly in soft chairs, either closing their eyes in meditation or bowing their heads in contemplation. The inner walls of the nano armor are also hazy, and the inside and outside of the hull seem to be blurred.

Suddenly, a hurried but trembling report tore through the misty picture.

"Report to Director Liu, we ...... We've lost ...... It's not the starry sky we're familiar with, it's not our sun, it's a completely unknown area, and we seem to be in something else...... Other planetary systems. ”
