Chapter 308: Void Gravitational Turbulence (Ask for Collection, Ask for Subscription)
In the main control room, Xiao Junling carefully observed the data on the optical brain, and only after a moment did he raise his head and ask, "How is the situation over there?" Is there any further feedback back? ”
Li Yuankang replied: "Lord, we have released fifteen groups of unmanned detectors before and after, but so far, only one has returned, and the others have not moved, and it is estimated that there has been an accident!" ”
“…… Launch two more sets of more advanced ones to see, and if that doesn't work, find another way! Xiao Junling ordered.
"Yes, my lord!"
Tens of thousands of kilometers in front of the fortress of war, in the background of the bright starry sky, a wormhole with a diameter of tens of kilometers is already in sight, compared to the dark void, the color of the wormhole is much darker, it is a color similar to a black hole, the darkness that can swallow all the light into it!
Two sets of sky-blue saucer-shaped unmanned probes were launched through the ejection port of the war fortress, and under the action of the gravitational guide, they quickly moved away from the fortress itself and accelerated towards the wormhole mouth in front!
The dish-shaped unmanned detector is ten meters in diameter, arranged in a diamond shape in a group of four, and the two groups of detectors are one after the other, and all the detection instruments are fully turned on, and the transmission begins cautiously.
This kind of detector itself has a heavy energy shield, so the survivability is far better than ordinary goods, and the data acquisition equipment on the detector has been specially processed, which has extremely difficult to damage and more powerful communication capabilities. So even if something happens to the detector, it still has a chance to send back the various situations in the place where the incident occurred.
A few minutes later, three of the two sets of saucer probes returned, and the smooth outer armor surface had been cut to pieces, with occasional flashes of electric arcs on them. Almost all the delicate components inside can be clearly seen!
Of course. The damaged dish detectors were able to send back more video images. Let everyone have a better understanding of the situation on the other side of the wormhole, and it can be regarded as the completion of the mission.
The conclusion came out quickly: the wormhole was an area where the gravitational turbulence of the void was raging, and with the fragile defense of ordinary detectors, it could not resist it at all! Even if it is a model with an energy shield, it can only hold a few more breaths, and it will be twisted into pieces by the terrible gravitational turbulence!
Fortunately, the resources on the war fortress are sufficient, and it is extremely convenient and fast to produce, and such an unmanned detector is almost as much as possible. Even if it's lost, it's not so distressing.
"Void gravitational turbulence, intensity seven points three...... It looks like the airspace covered is not small! Xiao Junling muttered to himself and looked at the light brain for a while. The end result was a little undecided.
In the process of exploring the Savage Star Field, gravitational turbulence is one of the less common troubles, which is divided into twelve levels according to the strength of the energy level, and the first to second level can easily crush ordinary warships; Levels three to five are deadly traps for large motherships; Levels six to eight can threaten a war machine of the level of the Starfortress; As for the ninth level and above, it is a Jedi that only space fault ships can enter and exit freely!
For this kind of trouble, there is basically no good solution, so you can only choose to avoid it and find a suitable channel. Or if the intensity is not very large and the coverage is not wide. You can pass it with a high-level warship or fortress!
Wei Jun thought for a while and proposed:
"My lord. Why don't we send a few more 'neutron star' probes over to find out how big this gravitational turbulence zone is, and it is best to find the location of the next wormhole, and then think about how to deal with it? ”
"So be it!" Xiao Junling nodded in agreement with his opinion.
After inquiring about Yi Lin and Mei Xin just now, he had already learned that there were no other suitable waterways nearby, except for the one in front of him. If you have to take a detour, you will have to go around half a circle in the sea of moons and stars, and after passing through at least four different dangerous places, you will successfully sail out of this desperate area!
Soon, nine spherical dark gray unmanned probes with a diameter of thirty meters were released, and their surfaces all had faint black energy lines flickering, which were rubbed on the defense matrix.
This probe is more powerful and has a reputation for survivability, and is a state-of-the-art device designed for use in certain high-risk areas of the void.
The nine "neutron star" probes divided into three groups and re-entered the wormhole, and ten minutes later, the eight probes returned smoothly, bringing more detailed information.
After Xiao Junling saw it, he re-launched two new sets of probes in strict accordance with the conventions in the wilderness expedition, and after repeatedly confirming and supplementing the information that had been collected, he said to everyone:
"Our War Fortress has been specially modified and its defense is not much worse than that of the highest-level Star Fortress! And although this gravitational turbulence area covers a large enough area, it is not far from the next wormhole, and it is expected to be reached in about an hour. ”
It's one thing for everyone to understand what he meant, but it's another thing to do it in practice! This is to ensure that the strength of the gravitational turbulence in the void does not change at all times, and the safety of the fortress can be guaranteed, but if there is an accident, the consequences are difficult to say!
This kind of accident is untraceable, and no matter how powerful the light brain group and the wise man are, it cannot be deduced and predicted in advance! Maybe the probability of it appearing is not high, but once it happens, there is no place to buy regret medicine!
"On top of that, we can't be sure what's behind the next wormhole!" Xiao Junling continued,
"If it's still a danger zone, we're in a dilemma! Therefore, this matter must be decided carefully! ”
It's a matter of life and death for 200,000 people in the entire fortress, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful!
Mo Fanli pondered for a few seconds, then got up and said firmly: "Then let me take the space fault spaceship over to have a look, and then decide how to act after confirming the situation!" ”
"Uncle Mo, will it be a bit risky? Or let the unmanned detector go? Xiao Junling said worriedly.
The space fault ship really doesn't need to care about such an environment, but in this strange and wild starry sky, no one can guarantee that there will be other accidents! For the core followers of this teacher, he has always taken good care of himself. He really didn't want him to risk his life.
Mo Fanli smiled casually: "The unmanned detector is not efficient. And they can't survive in such an environment for long. Let me go for myself! Don't worry, with my strength, there will be no problem! ”
Xiao Junling reluctantly said: "Okay then!" Go back quickly! ”
Inside the War Fortress are six precious space spaceships, each of which costs more than the Empire's top mobile starfortresses. He asked Qin Yayu for a loan to buy it.
Soon, the shuttle-shaped black space fault ship was pushed away from the fortress body at high speed by the gravitational guide rail, and then suddenly accelerated, tearing open the space barrier and disappearing, rolling up a burst of brilliant five-colored light fragments.
A few minutes later, the fortress received a message that the ship had entered the next wormhole.
Another twenty minutes or so passed. The space fault spaceship reappeared with a storm of colorful energy, which also made Xiao Junling, who had been pinching his sweat, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"There is also gravitational turbulence over there, but the intensity is much lower than here, only less than level five, so it's not a big problem!" After Mo Fanli returned to the main control center, he said to him.
"That's fine! Let's go! Xiao Junling no longer hesitated and gave the order to set sail.
The War Fortress emits several thick green beams that are projected at the edge of the wormhole, which is a beam field generator that can temporarily expand the diameter of the wormhole and increase its energy threshold. so that the huge fortress of war can be passed.
In order to prevent accidents, Xiao Junling ordered the fortress's own defense system to be turned on. And run at maximum power! This requires a lot of extra energy, but it's acceptable for safety!
After a while, the figure of the war fortress completely submerged into the wormhole that had been greatly expanded, and the light screen was bright and dark, and between the light and shadow, the scene at the other end of the wormhole began to appear!
It seems that the void is silent, and the background of the bright and magnificent sea of stars in the distance is still the same! Everything was so calm. I don't see the slightest danger.
On the main console, the gravitational meter emitted a piercing alarm sound, reminding everyone of the great danger hidden in the calm void in front of them!
"All crew members pay attention to cooperation, and from now on, enter the first-level crisis management mode!" Xiao Junling ordered.
A pillar of golden light with a diameter of about one meter hung down from the dome above the general command platform, covering Xiao Junling's figure, and then turning into multiple golden light cocoons, enveloping him layer by layer.
Immediately afterwards, the light and shadow in the hall flickered, and a similar phenomenon appeared above the heads of almost all the crew members, emitting a cocoon of glittering golden light, enveloping all the crew members of the entire main control center!
The golden rays that make up the cocoon of light are actually composed of extremely tiny golden symbols, which are concrete data streams. Under its effect, Xiao Junling can directly give instructions to any crew member through his own thoughts, and the receiving object will also respond to his thoughts at the first time, with almost no time gap!
Such command efficiency is naturally much stronger than colloquial commands! Everyone's brain can interact with the light brain of the main control center directly and without barriers, and can respond immediately when a crisis is found, which greatly improves the safety factor!
In the boundless void, a black asteroid wrapped in a thick blue energy light curtain is moving. It was only from the signs that it shook and shivered slightly from time to time that it could tell that the space around it was not as calm as it seemed. It's like a whirlpool hidden under the calm water, and there is a deadly killing machine!
"Report: After the calculation of the light brain, the relatively safe route to the next wormhole has been preliminarily determined!"
"Lock your position and go full throttle!" Xiao Junling's consciousness commanded silently.
……
"Report: Void gravitational turbulence has a tendency to intensify, and the latest measurements have reached level 7.5!"
"The anti-gravity generator is ready, and in case of an uncontrolled accident, it will be activated immediately!"
……
"Report: Gravitational Wave Detector Fails, Unknown Cause!"
"Start the backup system and order the maintenance team to immediately dispatch for emergency repairs!" (To be continued......)
PS: (Some book friends said that it doesn't feel good that the projection of the consciousness of the golden star appears in the image of a teenager, so should you change it?) )
