Chapter 16 Expedition Base

Of course, Xiao Cheng they don't know these contents, but because of this accident, there have been several arguments, for the sake of safety, "Yanyun" did not continue to go to Tianchi Star, but landed on a Xinghai MRT Group branch space station in the Yunzhou Star Domain Eagle Wing Constellation Silver Starfish two days later, the official explanation for this is that "the maintenance personnel did not lock the escape cabin safety door according to the regulations, which led to the activation of the starship safety self-inspection system", and explained that there was no problem with the starship, It's just a small misunderstanding caused by the security system being too sensitive, and it is used to hype up the safety performance of the new "Yanyun" large passenger starship of Xinghai MRT Group, and the major media have unanimously publicized it, downplaying the impact, only some gossip is circulating on the Internet, "Yanyun" was attacked by star thieves, "Yanyun" encountered a mysterious wormhole and escaped dangerously, and "Yanyun" transported mysterious items were stolen......

However, since the safety of the passengers, the safety of the starship, and the happy scene also made everyone gradually fall silent after a period of heated discussions, as for the truth, no one is willing to investigate it in detail, after all, everyone is so busy......

At this time, Xiao Cheng, Nan Xin, Old Man Mu, Lao Han, Xiao Fluttershy, Brother Wu, and the bald dragon had reunited after several twists and turns, and went straight to the Qingzhou Star Field, which had been delayed for nearly two weeks, in the "Hidden Dragon".

The "Hidden Dragon" is a modified Chinese retired assault frigate, the fastest of the frigates, which has undergone a series of complex modifications in the Peerless Domain, among which the installation of a primary experimental stealth device can make the starship invisible when only the conventional engine is started, and any scanning sensor device cannot be detected. This stealth device was developed by the scientists of the Peerless Region based on some scattered stealth theories that circulated from China, and roughly created a space tortuous transmission force field within a radius of 1,500 meters of the ship, so as to avoid the scanning of various sensors of other starships.

But its flaw is also obvious, that is, it cannot be approached by any object larger than one-fifth of the size of the stealth starship with a radius of 1,500 meters to the spherical stealth position of the hull itself, otherwise it will disturb the stealth position and become visible. At the same time, when the stealth stance is activated, it can only be powered by the conventional engine, and the speed must be reduced by 60% to maintain the stability of the stance, let alone start the jump engine, because the penetration of space when the jump engine is started will directly destroy the existence of the stand. Finally, after the stealth stance is activated, it will also cause a huge interference to the sensors of the starship itself, and the locking speed of the target starship or object will be slowed exponentially.

But according to the performance of several wars, Huaguo's stealth frigate does not reflect these shortcomings, but even so, it is enough for the "Hidden Dragon", it has excellent maneuverability and flexibility, even in the hidden state, the speed can reach 560m/s, which is completely sufficient, not to mention that in non-essential cases, it does not have to be invisible all the time, because it is registered in the name of a small starry sky expedition called "I'm going to go on an expedition ah 5776", as for this strange name, Then blame the damn registration regulations that don't use duplicate names, those cool and crazy names have been cleaned up by the ancestors for thousands of years, and as a tribute to these warriors who conquered the starry sky, all countries and organizations in the world have banned the use of expedition names that have appeared, so expedition names with many slots such as "I'm going to go on an expedition 5776" and "Da Da Da Brave Warrior 9192" are no longer strange today.

In the vast universe, although human beings have been exploring for thousands of years, they still only expand to one-fifth of the Milky Way with the Earth as the center of the human holy land, and the rest of the region is still unknown, because although the base of human beings has expanded countless times, it is still incomparably small in the universe, except for the capital stars of the galaxies of various countries and some famous planets, most of the mild and habitable planets have only tens of millions or even millions of people, and some mild planets with a shorter development time are even less, only tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Despite the fact that all countries are encouraging fertility and implementing it as a millennium, 10,000-year plan, the number of human beings is still far from satisfying the exploitation of the universe. The existence of the expedition team is the vanguard of mankind's conquest of the starry sky, more than ninety percent of the valuable star field galaxies are discovered by these expeditions, and the government only needs to pay a generous enough payment to get the exploration data of the valuable strange star field that it likes, which greatly avoids the waste of resources and personnel caused by useless planet exploration.

Therefore, countries generally have special preferential treatment for expedition teams, as long as they are legally registered expedition teams, they can pass through any international stargate unimpeded, and there are special expedition areas in each space station near the border star field area for expedition members to supply supplies and exchange experience.

Now Xiao Cheng and his entourage are only five jump star gate away from Qingzhou Star Field, Yuzhou Star Domain Border - Dragon Claw Constellation - Dongque Galaxy - Seventh Planet Satellite Space Station, this space station belongs to Huaguo Haoshangjia Food Group, is the food distribution center in the border area of the universe star field, although the axis length of the space station is only 32km, it belongs to a small space station, but it has a unique shape, the whole is similar to a big "zongzi" in the universe, and the port is full of industrial transport ships full of various processed foods shuttling back and forth, so lively.

The group temporarily rested in a leisure block near the port.

And the divine crystal that made the "Yanyun" full of anecdotes flying in the sky was hidden by the bald dragon in his metal box and placed on the "Hidden Dragon", and he did not bring it down. The old man used to have a prominent position in Huaguo, so he naturally knew the details of the Duan family, and he was actually the descendant of Marshal Duan Xianglong, the most famous of the seven patriotic counterinsurgency generals who emerged three hundred years ago when Huaguo was in a crisis of division, and the Duan family has been operating in the Jingzhou Star Domain, although no one in the family has served in the army for more than a hundred years, but it is still inextricably linked with the army of the Jingzhou Star Domain, but the Jingzhou Star Field and the Yunzhou Star Domain where the old man Mu is located are far from each other, and they don't know very well. As for why the Duan family smuggled away this divine crystal, the old man didn't dare to speculate too much, but since he was accidentally hit by his own family, there was no reason to send it back, and when this expedition was completed, he would bring it back to the Absolute Domain for a detailed investigation.

However, everyone still learned a lot of secrets from the mouth of the old man who was in charge of the super flagship team, although the specific composition of the divine crystal is unknown, but it can continue to release energy by itself to fragment the existing space from the subspace to ingest a dark matter energy called "fire C--57" for fission, it is a magical energy crystal between the current space and the subspace, don't underestimate such a small piece of divine crystal, its specific mass is at least hundreds of thousands of tons, but it does not directly act on the current space, so it is light to pick up, Fortunately, there is the Duan family's ion chamber as a carrier, otherwise its huge abnormal energy can really be regarded as an incomparably bright lighthouse in the universe, but because of this, the Duan family is cocooned and has no way to find the whereabouts of the divine crystal, so even if they have any plans, they must have been delayed, and they don't have to worry about anything for the time being.

Now the most important goal is to complete the exploration of the mysterious ancient signal of the "Odin God Kingdom", the reason why I want to come to this space station, in addition to resting and replenishing, is mainly to get the detailed star map information of the galaxy around the target where the signal is located, Brother Wu found that the galaxy where the target is located is near the center of the Qingzhou star field, but there is no mild and habitable planet in it, and there are no valuable mineral resources, it belongs to a useless barren galaxy, and the surrounding galaxies are the same, Therefore, the orthodox star map does not mark the detailed information over there, because no one will waste time on this kind of galaxy - except for the expedition team, and this space station is precisely a gathering point for the Yuzhou Star Field, the Qingzhou Star Field Expedition Team, and the news content is very well-informed, so after discussion, everyone decided to see if they could buy a detailed star map here.

After all, it's unwise to rush into a galaxy without information, and they don't allow even a little careful exploration of the time they have, the universe is so vast that anything wonderful and unthinkable can happen, and no one wants to have a "crossing" experience. Therefore, the star map data of a galaxy becomes particularly valuable.

In this large building called "Expedition Base", which is located in a leisure district, there is a constant flow of people, and from the point of view of clothing, most of the members of the expedition team exchange information, publish paid information, and receive various entrusted tasks. Floating light screens are updated with various information in real time. Originally, Xiao Cheng felt that the seven of them were a little conspicuous, but he didn't expect that there were basically teams of explorers here, they were still few, knowing that Xiao Cheng was a little strange, the bald dragon specially explained to him, although the policies of various countries for expeditions are relatively protective and open, but in order to prevent the hiding of criminals, the expedition team must register all members of the expedition registration agency in the border area of the constellation star field, and will scan and inspect the starship for prohibited items - this kind of inspection is not checked by a special person to board the ship, That's too inefficient - when the starship docks at the space station, it will pass through a special scanning channel about 30 meters long, which will scan and confiscate prohibited biomass, drugs, dangerous radio, etc., and the expedition members will scan weapons and ordnance after leaving the ship, and all civilian space stations within the republic are forbidden to bring weapons or controlled knives into the space station - after all, many expedition members are more temperamental.

Of course, Lao Han's small shaped cannon was lying quietly in the "Lin's Space Box" in his hand, and it was obvious that the scanner could not detect objects in subspace. The group made their way through the bustling crowd and arrived at the information desk.
