Chapter 1: A Remote Place
Zheng Tong, an explorer known as Columbus in the interstellar age, once said: "If the entire universe is regarded as a desert, then most of its area is desolate and dead." But it is precisely because of this that when we find a small oasis in this desert, we will be so happy! ”
In the past 300 years, mankind has spread its footsteps to five star fields, but this is only less than one thousandth of the Milky Way. For the entire universe, human beings are still just a baby who has just crawled out of the cradle.
For three months, the Hunter flew in the White Zone for three full months.
Even Kungo didn't expect that Amber's coordinates found in the main unit of the Golden Capital Communication Tower would be such an exaggerated distance.
Thankfully, the Hunter was once again fully adjusted while staying in the Nirvana Planetary Fortress, and the Old Doctor presided over an upgrade and adjustment project for the Hunter before starting research on the Apocalypse virus.
Not only to strengthen the Hunter, but also to study some of the technologies on the Hunter, so that the performance of the entire Nirvana Army warship can be improved.
In this adjustment, the performance of the Hunter has once again been greatly improved, and the self-circulation system has been quite strengthened.
Therefore, the current Hunter will not have a problem even if it travels for a year without replenishment in the White Zone.
It's just that the people on the Hunter are a little bored.
In addition to training and training every day, the group only has training left.
Of course, there are benefits to such training.
Kun Wu has begun to have signs of breaking through the five-star hunter, after inexplicably breaking out of six-star strength during the battle with Su Luo, Kunwu's body alienation has accelerated again, and now some of his body data has reached the standard of six stars, as long as he has mastered these continuously strengthened powers after a lot of training, reaching six stars is just around the corner.
Lao Bai's strength must not be improved anymore, the talent of the big brother who is almost forty years old has been consumed, unless there is better technology, or the use of plug-ins, his strength can only be maintained at the level of a five-star intermediate level.
But Big Brother's role in the group is not as simple as a five-star old hunter.
Combat instructors, weapons specialists, and Big Brother play a very important role in the team.
Kungo's KW-04; He You's HY-04 and the Porta-2 multi-function sniper rifle; An Yang's scepter and double-headed sword, these weapons are all carefully fine-tuned by Big Brother.
Even if Kunwu's KW-04 has evolved to the point of incredible, the fine-tuning in some details is still manually adjusted by Lao Bai.
In Kungo's words, the adjusted KW-04 is as smooth as his own arm.
In addition, Lao Bai also repaired part of the function of the inheritance in Amber's hand and his captain's chopping knife, which not only further improved the cutting ability of the chopping knife, but also inspired Lao Bai to transform KW-04, so that KW-04's attack power was also improved again.
He You has been promoted to three-star strength in the previous battle, and the owner of the perfect gene is Niu X, and his combat effectiveness has surpassed An Yang in a short period of time. And as the most comprehensive member of the team, he is proficient in melee sniping, wandering, and fighting.
The improvement of the overall combat effectiveness of the team is naturally good news, but nothing has been done in the past three months, but the training is unbearable.
But just today, the good news has arrived, the coordinate area has arrived.
Because the coordinates found by Amber are from tens of thousands of years ago, and there are only coordinates of the local system, and there are no auxiliary correction coordinates (data corruption), this coordinate is not completely accurate.
The universe is constantly changing, like the sand dunes in the desert. Unless it is a coordinate with a gravitational anchor point, any kind of coordinate is divided into local coordinates (target coordinates) and auxiliary correction coordinates (coordinates that observe the target from other angles).
In the beginning of interstellar travel, due to lack of experience, human beings did not establish an auxiliary correction coordinate system, and as a result, there are countless people who get lost because of this.
It is no exaggeration to say that each character in the auxiliary correction coordinate system established by human beings represents a human life.
Because there is no auxiliary correction coordinates, the Hunter only reaches the main coordinates tens of thousands of years ago. And there was nothing left here.
"Although most of the universe is barren, this place is too barren!" On the bridge, Kungo lay on the captain's seat, looking at the holographic projection transmitted from the external monitor, and pouted.
"There isn't a single celestial body in the entire light-year area!" An Yang looked at the data scanned by the Hunter and couldn't help but speak, "This is simply a cosmic vacuum area!" ”
Among the regions of the universe discovered by mankind, there are very few regions like this that cannot find even a celestial body, not even asteroid fragments, in a light year. At least for Kungo, this was the first time they had seen such a place.
"Send all the reconnaissance drones and let them search faster-than-light, extending the search range beyond our three-light-year range!" Kungo thought about it and gave an order to the ship's main engine.
"This ship understands!" The main engine of the Hunter responded quickly.
A minute later, dozens of reconnaissance drones ejected the Hunter and quickly entered a state of faster-than-light navigation.
"Looks like our search is going to take a lot of time!" Kungo once again confirmed that the coordinates of the current Hunter were above the coordinates of the main system, but that was nothing.
"Xueba, are we going to let the squid build a radio tower or something here?" Kungo looked at He You
The broadcast tower integrates multiple functions such as signal forwarding and amplification, migration gravitational coordinate anchoring, and autonomous robot nest, which is one of the necessary equipment for deep space exploration in the universe.
He You thought for a while and shook his head: "Not for the time being, there is nothing here, we need to use the materials stored on the Hunter if we want to build a broadcasting tower." I don't recommend this in cases where the situation is unclear! ”
Lao Bai nodded: "Yes, we should be cautious!" ”
Kungo was so good that he dismissed the idea of building a broadcasting tower with the Hunter's supplies.
The drone's search lasted for 72 hours, and just when Kungo couldn't resist to take a short random jump directly on the Hunter, a drone suddenly raised an alarm and sent back a picture that made everyone excited.
The drone discovered a planet 2.7 light-years away.
"Host, start the faster-than-light engine, let's go to that planet!"
