Chapter 186: Home Port
In about half a day, all the materials were completed, and the shuttle boat went back and forth several times, and all the necessary materials were shipped. The large amount of base metal carried on the spaceship, the rocket fuel is no longer useful, and it is discarded along with the ship's body. In fact, more than half of the combustion of the rocket engine remains, which is a pity.
Looking at the meaning of this reserve, it can completely support this spaceship to find a planet to take off and land once on the way to resupply supplies.
Lu Niancheng didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield, and gave up the opportunity to find clues to the ambush, and directly led the small fleet to make a space jump and return to the Ninth Fleet station.
The Ninth Fleet is stationed on a dark star in the constellation Centauri, just a few dozen light-years away from Proxima Centauri. Because of its proximity to the home planet, the strategic location was very important, and the Tang Dynasty stationed heavy troops here, and the Ninth Fleet was also one of the top three behemoths in the dynasty's deep space fleet.
After the Asterisk jumped out of the wormhole, Lu Niancheng commanded: "Notify the ABP, and say that we are back." Also, go full speed ahead and enter the galaxy as soon as possible. ”
The staff officer next to him was taken aback and said, "Colonel Xu's spaceship is badly damaged and can't keep up with us." ”
"Leave him alone, just let him go back slowly. ”
The Shuo Star began to accelerate, and all the ion engines were turned on to maximum power, even the curvature engine. It's a dangerous move.
The Shuoxing quickly accelerated to one-tenth of the speed of light, but Lu Niancheng was still a little dissatisfied. At this time, a notice sounded in the console: "This is the base of the Ninth Fleet, and I have received your request to enter the port, and I am allowed to enter the port." Your curvature engine will be turned off, repeat, please turn off the curvature engine. ”
"Lao Tzu will turn off when he enters the galaxy. Now I have an urgent matter, I have to go back quickly, I can't close it for the time being. ”
The badge of the Ninth Fleet disappeared on the screen, replaced by an iceberg beauty, she looked at Lu Niancheng, and said expressionlessly: "This is a dangerous action, and you will be punished accordingly, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
Lu Niancheng's momentum plummeted and said, "I do have something important, so I won't take it as an example." ”
"How many times has it been since then?"
"This ......" Lu Cheng saw sweat on his forehead.
The iceberg beauty brushed and wrote something, and then said: "I have already handed in the report, wait for the result." ”
With that, she cut off the communication directly.
Lu Chengcheng stayed on the spot. After a while, the adjutant next to him whispered, "General, do you want to slow down?"
Lu Chengcheng suddenly erupted and shouted: "Slow down the fart! Didn't you hear her? The report has been handed in, what's the use of slowing down? Go, turn on the other engine for me, and turn it off outside the port!"
Moments later, the star swooped into the galaxy like a wild horse.
In the center of the galaxy, huge stars glow orange and shine on everything around them. The star was also plated with a layer of gold, and flew calmly.
On the bridge, Lin Xi stood in the middle, Lu Chengcheng and Li Ruobai on the left and right, and Meng Jianghu stood beside him. At this time, there is no place for Chu Jungui.
The light of the stars shone through the portholes and fell on the people. Lu Chengcheng said: "In this galaxy, most of the time is in the twilight hour. That's why the first generation of explorers named the galaxy Twilight Meadows. Our home port for the Ninth Fleet is located between Ranch 2 and Ranch 3. There is the closest stable track to the jump point. ”
"Is the marshal there?" Lin Xi asked.
"Just received the news that he is waiting for you in his home port. ”
"Well, I'll go see him as soon as I get there. ”
At this moment, Chu Jungui sat in the cabin, looking at the dazzling beauty outside the porthole. The Dusk Ranch Galaxy is not only beautiful in name, but also beautiful in real life. Because the light of the stars is not enough, it produces such a magnificent view.
The portholes of the starship are naturally also virtual, but they are real enough that even the stellar light shines on the body, which is slightly hot.
A planet flew by outside the porthole, it was a gray-black planet, and it was not known if it was inhabited or not. Just by looking at the speed of the planets, you can see how fast the star flies.
At this moment, the hull of the ship shook suddenly, and the light in the cabin suddenly dimmed, and then a majestic and cold electronic synthesis voice sounded: "Your ship has entered the home port control area, and the speed exceeds the limit, now carry out forced deceleration." ”
Is this okay? Chu Jun returned to Daqi.
He changed the porthole screen to the bow view, and saw a floating fortress faintly appear in the depths of space in the distance.
As the fortress grew larger, the details began to emerge.
The home port of the Ninth Fleet is not built on a planet, but a base built out of thin air in space!
The home port base is shaped like a spinning top, surrounded by a ring of buildings, the total length of the main pillar building in the center has reached dozens of kilometers, and the diameter of the ring has reached hundreds of kilometers!
The ports of entry and exit are located at both ends of the central body, and there are constantly ships coming in and out. At this time, a beam of light shot out from the base and shone on the Shuoxing, which immediately took over the control of the Shuoxing. Under the traction of the beam, the star continued to circle until it was in line with the rotation speed of the home port, and then flew towards one of the ports under the guidance of the traction beam.
As it approached the base, the outer door of the harbor had been swiveled open, allowing the Asterisk to fly in. The scale of this harbor basin is magnificent, and the diameter of the entrance passage is more than 100 meters, and the Shuo Star flies in it, which seems to be at ease.
The four walls of the passage lit up with a faint blue light, and as soon as it entered the passage, the star was captured by the force field and slowly slid towards the depths of the harbor. The turnstile at the entrance of the passage closes again, and the lights on the surrounding contour turn red, indicating that the harbor is occupied.
The Asterisk glides through the force field until it reaches the rotunda at the end, and then slowly descends. It lowers the landing gear and then attaches firmly to the floor with a pleasant sound. The floor then rotated, allowing the Star to cross it, and several passages automatically extended to the hatch.
"The Astar has returned to its home port, the berthing has been completed, and it is now safe to leave the ship. ”
Chu Jun got up, and together with the other members of the Winter Hunting Squad, he walked out of the room with his luggage, and Yuguan left the Shuoxing.
Standing in the passageway, just a harbor can give a sense of grandeur. And this harbor should only be considered medium in the entire base, otherwise the main starship will not be able to park.
Back then, the space base where Chu Jungui was located was only as big as two or three harbors.
Walk down the long hallway into the lobby, where everyone is temporarily assembled for further quarantine. This is a necessary step in interstellar travel in case you unknowingly bring dangerous species from deep space back to the base.
While waiting, through the porthole, Chu Jungui saw that all the passages were slowly retracted, the side gates opened, and the Shuoxing was moved in. There is a hangar, and the battle is fierce at the moment, and the hull is damaged in many places, and it needs to be completely overhauled before it can travel in deep space again.
At this time, Qin Yi came out of nowhere, came to Chu Jungui's side, and said softly: "I heard that you are not good." ”
