"But they don't need to expand much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 "They don't even need to hold the space for long, as long as they can hold us back before the entrance to the space passage disappears." ”

"Is there anything we can do about it?" Zhou Xin asked, "Is there a way to stop them from expanding the space?" ”

Shaking his head, Atlas replied, "Impossible, even if we do, we won't have time to do it." Judging by the current situation, the space expansion device must only be installed on a spherical battleship, and we can't turn back at all now, and even if we do, we won't have time to find it. The only thing we can do now is to keep rushing forward and pray that the spatial passage will not disappear before we enter. After speaking, she reminded, "Brother Captain, people are ready to overload the main engine." With her words, the thrust behind Zhou Xin, which had only weakened for a long time, became stronger again.

However, even though it has accelerated again, the circle in the picture that represents the entrance to the spatial passage is still getting smaller, which makes everyone worry.

But at this time, Atlas reported a result that was completely inconsistent with what everyone saw, "The space distance between the ship and the entrance is shrinking!" However, her subsequent addition did not make everyone feel better at all, "but the reduction speed is relatively slow, only about one-fifth of the speed of our normal space. ”

Of course, the speed of the spaceship was only one of the aspects that Zhou Xin was worried about. Another aspect of their concern was around the Voyager, as the speed of light was constant, so even if the surrounding space changed, the beam attacks from and out of the enemy around the Voyager would still be as dense as before. Although the number of ballistic weapons has decreased a lot, due to the uneven space around them, many incoming beams and routes have been extremely bent, which makes it difficult for Atlas to predict their attack routes. So, for the little girl, it became more difficult to control the spaceship to dodge.

"Warning, fuel tank No. 1 has been hit, and the ship has isolated it from other fuel tanks." Soon, the warning that Zhou Xin was most unwilling to hear sounded. However, fortunately, due to the previous heavy flight, the fuel in the No. 1 fuel tank has been depleted. As a result, the attack only destroyed the fuel tank itself and caused a reaction of the remaining fuel in it, but did not have serious consequences. But this is still extremely bad news for Zhou Xin.

Not only that, but now there are two heart-wrenching blood-red data beatings on the screen. One of them was Atlas's prediction of the time to arrive at the entrance of the passage, and the number shown on it can now be seen to be one hundred and twenty seconds. Originally, this was not very long, but the point is that this number did not decrease according to the normal law as the Voyager progressed, but instead decreased and increased, which shows that the space in front of Zhou Xin and them is still expanding, and this situation does not seem to be quite different from what Atlas predicted before.

In addition, in addition to the one hundred and twenty seconds, there is a blood-red thousand on the screen, which is the size of the entrance to the space passage now. Don't look at the current value of a thousand, but it can change a lot faster than time. After only five seconds, the value above was thirty years smaller. You know, this value is not like time, as long as it stays above zero before making contact with it, but it takes into account the width of the Voyager. You must know that the maximum width of the cross-section of the standard Voyager is about 170 meters, and with some margin, once the size of the space passage is less than 200 meters, it basically means that the operation has failed.

What is even more worrying is that the success of this operation depends not only on the size of the passage entrance itself, but also on the stability of the spatial passage. Of course, this cannot be expressed in an exact numerical value. However, judging from the occasional flickering that occurs today, the spatial passage may not last long.

"Damn, Captain, no wonder something is wrong. The other side is constantly recovering the space that the ship has passed, while continuing to expand the space in front of us. It's no wonder that people feel that the speed of flight is a little slower than expected. Then she comforted, "But it doesn't matter, there is a limit to this practice, and at most it can only delay a little longer." ”

"But what we're missing most now is time." Spred reminded.

"People know, so hold on to it, and there may be some discomfort in the future." As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xin felt a greater thrust coming from his back, which pressed him to his seat tightly, unable to move at all. At the same time, another alarm sounded in his ears, "Warning, the acceleration of the spacecraft beyond the threshold will cause serious harm to the crew of the ship." Decelerate, decelerate. ”

"Hold - hold - this - speed - degree" Zhou Xin knew very well that Atlas would not do this if it was not at the most critical moment. Fortunately, he had received relevant training before, so he could still stay awake and squeeze out these six words, and most of the people in the command cabin, including Spred, had already fainted from the acceleration.

After I don't know how long, in a daze, Zhou Xin heard Atlas's excited voice, "Brother Captain, the space expansion has stopped, and the other party has reached the limit!" "At this moment, there are sixty seconds left in the countdown on the screen, and the width of the passage is about six hundred meters left.

But it was only a minute's journey, but it seemed so long to Zhou Xin and them. Not only the pressure of time, but also the pressure from the enemy. At this point, the other party is still the same as Zhou Xin and them, and has not given up the idea of leaving the spaceship. And because the distance between the Voyager and the entrance of the passage was already very close, even the space to dodge became very narrow, and no matter how hard Atlas tried, the denser attack would inevitably hit the ship.

After holding out for more than thirty seconds in the "rain of light" created by the spherical battleship, the Voyager, which had endured several times more intensive attacks than before, could hardly see its original appearance. However, it is surprising that, despite this, Atlas accurately judged that the remaining three engines were actually retained. Although the flames of the main engine are now thick with black smoke, they can still keep working after all. However, just when Zhou Xin thought that their escape was a foregone conclusion, the accident happened again......
