Chapter 89: War Comes

A sharp siren sound pierced the sky above the base, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, this was a phenomenon that had never happened before, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.

Soon under the scolding of the instructor, the training continued, and the training ground returned to its previous state.

But everybody knew that something was happening, and it was a big deal. From the instructor's expression just now, there are still a few figures who left in a hurry, and now the instructor's absent-minded performance shows us that things are not as simple as they explained.

After two Earth hours, we all knew the reason why the alarm went off just now, the aliens accelerated, and the pace of war was near......

As someone who was familiar with both the Atlanteans and the Lemurians, I naturally knew more details.

"Didn't you say it would take a while?" I approached Moon and asked.

"That's what it was, but ......," Moon pulled me to the side of the star map, "you come and see." ”

"This is what we were monitoring before, and they were still doing it at a slower pace, and we estimated that they would arrive in one more Earth year. But now, the results we just received show that for some unknown reason, they suddenly accelerated. In this way, the time it takes them to arrive is cut in half. “

"Mars and Earth are 60 million kilometers apart, but in a universe measured in light-years, this distance is really nothing. It's like exposing the existence of the earth under your nose. Considering the combat power of cosmic-level weapons, the damage radius will inevitably affect the earth, which is no different from fighting directly on the earth. This is also contrary to our original intention. ”

"So, our battlefield needs to stay away from here. At least this is the closest star to us outside our solar system. This is the minimum safe distance we estimate after that, and no matter how small it is, it is easy to expose the position of the earth. ”

Moon said as he pointed to the star chart that the nearest star was the constellation Centauri, the legendary three-body star.

"How long will it take us to get there?"

"If we go full throttle, it's going to take three months. And it's still too tight, and we're going to have to set up defenses when we get there. Moon thought for a moment and added.

"Anyway, we don't have a choice, it's better to arrange it early than not to arrange it at all."

This time, there was a new spaceship, and in one word, it was a behemoth, and its length had reached thirty kilometers. It is only in space that such a large spacecraft can be accommodated.

"This can be considered a space fortress." I couldn't help but sigh.

"That's not all, I'll let you see what a real Battlestar is in the future." Moon said disapprovingly.

"I'm curious, how did you build such a behemoth on Mars?"

"Have you heard of ants moving? A little bit of construction. ”

Thanks to my relationship with Moon and Goliath, my team and I enjoyed a handful of special treatment and mixed up with the main ship.

"Are you sure you don't need a break? It's a flight for 90 Earth days. ”

"No, I was curious about this ship."

"That's up to you." Moon said with a shrug.

Long journeys are always boring, and this has nothing to do with the tools you ride. Because you can only move around in a small area, you will get tired of it in a good view, let alone look through the window. Besides, we're in space now, and it's dark outside.

Although the ship was big enough, most of the others chose to sleep. Three months of boring flying is not something that anyone wants to bear.

Moreover, we are flying military supplies, not civil aviation, and there is no such service item, and there is absolutely no enjoyment. A nutritious meal repeated every day, no matter how seasoned it is, it is still a nutritious meal, and you will get tired of eating too much.

It's also important to note that falling asleep is not sleeping. This is akin to entering a frozen state that minimizes the body's metabolism and maintains the minimum needs of life. The whole person is immersed in the hibernation cabin, which can maintain the body's nutritional supply on the one hand, avoid all kinds of discomfort caused by high-speed flight, and most importantly, delay aging.

And the reason I didn't go to sleep was purely because the device couldn't put me to sleep, at most I just sleeped, and I didn't know what was wrong in between.

So I simply didn't rest, and it was a rare experience to walk around the spaceship, which was also an eye-opener.

Also not in the hibernation chamber are a group of people who need to keep the ship flying, monitor the movements of the aliens, and develop battle plans.

"Fly at near the speed of light." It was the high priest who gave the command.

"The ship has entered a near-light-speed flight state."

"Prepare for the space jump."

"Yes!"

Instructions are given one by one. I was a little curious, and found Moon, who also had no rest, "What is the speed of the ship?" What's the deal with space jumping? ”

"The fastest speed of flight in the universe is the speed of light, and all objects can only approach the speed of light infinitely, but cannot exceed it. You don't know this, do you? So we can only fly at the closest speed to the speed of light now. ”

"Nonsense, of course I know, but why space jumps, instead of directly through space jumps?"

"Just like you play water rafting, you only need a high enough starting speed to make the pebbles jump on the water, which is the most labor-saving way and also saves energy. Spatial transitions are expensive to open wormholes, and our long-distance positioning is not accurate enough and is easy to deviate. Jumping is much simpler, the space to cross is smaller, the cost is smaller, and it can be accurately positioned. ”

"If you can do space jumping, then their technology should be able to do it too, and even go further and get there faster. Isn't it strange that you can keep watching them all the time, which means that they don't use such methods? ”

"Well, you've thought it through. It stands to reason that they should be able to arrive faster. But that's the case, our speculation is this, first, their lack of energy, not enough to open an ultra-long-distance wormhole, second, they also can't be ultra-long-distance accurate positioning, so they have to find all the way, the method is a little stupid, but the most effective, there will be no fish that slip through the net. ”

"That's true, but it's the first time I've heard someone describe myself as slipping through the net."

"The key is to understand the meaning and not care about the details."

"This is your territory, it's up to you."

"Would you like to take a tour of the ship, then? It's a rare opportunity. Moon said, raising an eyebrow.

"Since you have invited you so sincerely, I am naturally more respectful than obedient."
