Chapter 181 Hypergravity Zone

Xia Fei was silent for a moment, Uncle Potter must have done a very dangerous thing, and he was not sure whether he could survive, so he called the wind chime to inform himself that he was not using it, and the wind chime still notified Xia Fei because he was worried about the safety of old Porter.

"Do you know where Uncle Potter went?" Xia Fei asked, "If I can know where Uncle Potter is, I can look for it, otherwise it will be more difficult to find someone in the vast sea of stars than to find a needle in a haystack." ”

Wind Chime nodded, "If I didn't know Potter's whereabouts, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to find you, Potter specially left your communication method, I thought you were his former colleague or friend, I didn't expect you to be so young, I knew that this was the case, maybe I should really listen to Potter and not involve you." ”

Young Xia Fei didn't seem to be of much help to him in the eyes of the wind chime, so his words were full of distrust.

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Since I'm already here, you might as well tell me Uncle Potter's destination, maybe I can help some." ”

Wind Chime hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said, "When I was helping him clean his room, I once secretly looked at Old Porter's personal computer, which had a star field map marked with many red and green dots, and I copied it into my own computer. ”

After that, Feng Chime took out an old-fashioned tablet from the space ring, and Xia Fei clearly remembered that Old Porter also liked to use this model of computer.

After tapping on it a few times, the wind chime called up the star map, and then handed it to Xia Fei.

This is a stereoscopic map of the Black Abyss Star Field, framed in white with a circle, located on the periphery of the Black Abyss Star Field, near a vast unknown region.

Obviously, this area is the destination of Old Porter, but the environment of this star field is very strange, and most of it belongs to the hypergravity region.

The universe is not immutable, there are some places scattered in the vast sea of stars called a substance called hypergravity stardust, they are like dust in the air, you can't see or touch, any battleship that enters the dust will be attracted by the supergravity stardust, they are like high-viscosity glue, dragging the speed of the battleship extremely slow, and at the same time releasing gravity far beyond the general area, strong gravity will directly press ordinary people into meatloaf, and humans without combat abilities cannot survive in it at all.

If you want to go to the hypergravity area, you must first have a strong body to avoid damage to your body due to excessive gravity, and secondly, you must have a strong and explosive warship, which is forced to move forward under the pull of gravity.

"No wonder Old Porter's battleship is equipped with a twin-engine system, it turns out that he has been prepared for a long time." Xia Fei muttered to himself in his heart.

The twin-engine system has a very limited speed bonus for the ship itself, but it can greatly increase the ship's torque.

For example, a sports car on Earth is undoubtedly fast, but if you put a five-ton piece of steel in the cockpit of a sports car, it will never be much faster than a truck that pulls five tons of cargo, because its torque is not enough, and it is likely to cause the engine to burn out over time.

Therefore, Porter Sr.'s battleship is equipped with two jump engines to share this gravity, which not only ensures the forward speed, but also ensures that the ship's engine will not be damaged due to overheating.

According to Porter Sr.'s apprentice, Proton, Porter has been refitting the Gaia Tristan-class frigate since Xia Fei left, and all the work was done by him, except for the twin-engine system, there should be some other changes to adapt to the environment of the hypergravity area.

Nicknamed the Little Fat Man, the Tristan-class frigate has a stocky exterior and a sturdy internal structure, and when paired with a twin-engine system, it is indeed capable of handling hypergravity areas.

Even after the careful modification of Old Porter, it is extremely dangerous for a single frigate to enter the hypergravity area, because gravity dust will not only make the battleship fall into a swamp-like quagmire, but even the communication signals, radar systems, and navigation systems will be interfered with by it, and the closer to the center of the hypergravity area, the more serious this interference will become, and even make an advanced warship become, blind and deaf.

If it weren't for the great temptation, Old Potter would never have taken such a big risk to enter the hypergravity region, not to mention that only one-third of this area belonged to the Black Abyss Star Field, and the other two-thirds were simply unexplored wilderness areas, and its danger and complexity were beyond imagination.

"What is it that attracts Old Porter to such a desperate search?" Xia Fei couldn't figure it all out.

Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei enlarged the star map, and then carefully observed.

There are many green spots of light on the periphery of the area marked by Potter, and the effect of gravity is not very severe in these places, and ordinary warships can barely pass through.

Xia Fei speculated that these green points of light should be the areas that Potter had already explored, and his real destination this time should be those red points of light.

Most of the red points of light are located in the core of the hypergravity zone or near the wilderness area, and Old Porter must have ventured deep into the interior of the hypergravity zone this time, which is why he left such a message for the wind chimes.

And there are three dazzling purple points of light in the star map, two of these three points are in the core of the region, and the other is deep in the wilderness area, if it is correct, these three special locations are likely to be the top priority of Old Porter's expedition, and they are also the places where he is most likely to be found, but these three places are also the most dangerous.

Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei thought silently for half an hour, Feng Chime looked at him a little uneasy on the side, and from his eyes, he could feel that his heart was actually more urgent than Xia Fei, but he didn't show it.

Although Xia Fei and Old Potter do not have the name of master and apprentice, they go further than the real master-apprentice relationship, and Old Porter's notes worth thousands of gold were not even given to his most heartfelt apprentice Proton, but handed them to Xia Fei, which shows how much he values Xia Fei.

It's just that Xia Fei is not sure that he will be able to retreat from the hypergravity area, after all, this area is too dangerous.

Xia Fei is a person with a mixed personality, and every time it happens, reason and intuition will clash.

Reason told Xia Fei not to go to the hypergravity area, there was no reason why Old Porter's life had already been put in, and he had to pay for himself, which would not be worth the loss.

And intuition told Xia Fei that he must go, Old Potter's behavior is strange, there must be a big secret hidden behind it, if you want to reach heights that ordinary people can't reach, you have to take the courage to take risks that no one is willing to take, only the bravest madman can succeed

"How much supplies did Uncle Potter take with him when he left? How much equipment? Xia Fei asked, his mind had been decided, and Xia Fei's eyes became extremely resolute.

Wind Chime thought for a moment, "I've been to Potter's battleship twice, and his food reserves should be enough for a few years without problems, and he has a lot of equipment, but unfortunately I don't know those things. ”

Xia Fei nodded, Old Potter's supplies seemed to be sufficient, at least without too serious accidents, enough supplies should allow him to support him a little longer in the hypergravity zone.

Standing up, Xia Fei said, "I took this computer with me, as well as Porter's communication host." ”

"You're going to find Potter?" Feng Chime was surprised, everyone knew that the place where Old Potter went was extremely dangerous, and Xia Fei prepared to find Potter without hesitation, which made Feng Chime very touched and guilty.

Wind Chime thought about it for a long time but still didn't look for Potter, and Xia Fei, who was much younger than her, decided to set off without thinking about it for too long, which made Wind Chime feel a little ashamed.

"I'll go with you too." Wind Chimes said.

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "You can't afford two people to take this risk together, and it's a burden for you to follow me." ”

Xia Fei refused the request of the wind chime without hesitation, and did not even save a little face, it was not that Xia Fei did not take care of Potter, an old lover, but that things were really dangerous, and Xia Fei had to break her mind as soon as possible.

……

A moment later, Xia Fei returned to the Tomahawk, left the blanket covered with loess still on the ground, and strode towards the battleship command room.

"The hypergravity region is no joke, and even if the Tomahawk performs well, it is difficult to guarantee a full escape in that environment." The ghost said with some concern.

"I understand, in fact, I don't plan to venture in, didn't the old man Qin Mang give me the address of his apprentice, let's go to him first, try to get some of the equipment we need from him, and then set off, besides, Harris's problem has not been solved yet." Xia Fei said as he turned on the battleship's automatic navigation system and set the route.

Sou~

The Tomahawk took off quickly and headed for its next destination.

In the past two days, Harris has been very quiet, hiding in the room alone in front of the computer and not knowing what he is doing, and often asks Xia Fei a lot of inexplicable questions, such as what is Xia Fei's heart rate, what is his heart rate during the battle, what is the concentration of heme and so on.

Xia Fei talked to him a few times, Harris said that it was to collect data for the next step of research, a madman is a madman, Xia Fei has not completely let him go, Harris started his own research, and Harris does not care about Xia Fei's threat, as long as he can let him or conduct his own research, nothing else matters.

Since Xia Fei had decided to take this mad scientist for his own use, he had no choice but to answer his questions one by one, but he was thinking about how to get him back to Earth and save him from being buzzing like a fly by his side.

In the evening of the next day, the Tomahawk finally arrived at the Chiyanshan military base.

Through the communication with the military base, Xia Fei was surprised to learn that Qin Mang's apprentice Ya Wei turned out to be the commander of the Chiyan Mountain Legion, you must know that this is an integrated legion, with a Gadari Company Chimera-class aircraft carrier and a Mittal Company Nagafa-class dreadnought, and its strength is absolutely first-class in the Death Star Domain.

"Even Qin Mang's apprentice is the commander of the legion?" The ghost shadow fox said suspiciously: "Isn't that Qin Mang himself even more powerful." ”
