Chapter 822: Shattered Star Meat Grinder (2) Pulsating Variable Star
……
Shattered Star Field, Foxtail, RQ1722A Galaxy.
This is the first galaxy in the constellation Foxtail, the stargate has been open for less than 20 years, and the style of the stargate is new, which is very different from the previous style of the Cliff constellation.
It is obvious that this stargate is much thicker as a whole, the shield of the perimeter protection is also more colorful, and there are more control and monitoring equipment around the main building.
And unlike the undefended stargates in other places, there are eight space batteries here, which are not aimed at any forces, but only carry out long-distance blasting of meteorites that threaten the stargates.
This is because, every galaxy from here onwards has poor spatial stability.
In this galaxy, for example, there are only two planets in the entire galaxy, and one of the planets is about to be swallowed up by expanding stars.
Therefore, the stargate is built in the far orbit of the second planet, which is still 27 AU away from the star, which is relatively safe.
But the entire galaxy is densely covered with debris from explosions, or meteorites, that once existed before they were swallowed up by stars.
There was rubble of all sizes everywhere.
The environment of the space channel is very poor, and if you are not careful, a starship and a gravel collision will occur, and the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
Although the space near the Star Gate is guarded by artillery batteries for thousands of kilometers and is relatively clean, there are still small pieces of debris floating by from time to time, which makes people look terrifying.
And the star of this galaxy is even more extraordinary, it is an old pulsating variable star, about 500 times the volume of the sun, where human beings originated.
Its atmosphere is already very unstable, expanding and contracting periodically every 5 days, and each expansion and contraction brings a drastic change in the magnetic field.
The first planet was shrouded in its maximum expansion volume, and the perennial scorching and strong magnetic field disturbances made the planet already on the verge of collapse, and it was about to explode and disintegrate in the footsteps of other planets at any time.
The life cycle of this pulsating variable star is almost coming to an end, and if it is lucky, it will explode and evolve into a supernova, extending its lifespan for another million years or so.
If you're unlucky, it will explode completely the moment it becomes a supernova, forming a neutron star, or a black hole.
Needless to say, the galactic space environment of such pulsating variable star stars is very dangerous, and the strong chaotic electromagnetic environment makes it difficult for the avionics system of ordinary starships to work normally.
You can only rely on the navigation guidance provided by the stargate to make a quick jump away from this land of right and wrong.
However, even the navigation provided by the stargate automatically has a certain risk, and the periodic "bad temper" of the star will interfere with the jump engine of the subspace flight in the starship galaxy, and there is a certain chance that the starship will be "accidentally" thrown out of the subspace in the middle of the process.
If you're unlucky, you'll have a lot of fun in front of you.
Now, the main fleet of the Estar Federation, which has just passed through this stargate, is quietly gathering in the nearby airspace.
In the bridge of the flagship star carrier, the atmosphere is very solemn.
"What did you say?" Lieutenant General William paused every word, and the anger between his words was almost about to erupt.
The intelligence officer's face turned pale: "That reconnaissance fleet has just lost contact......"
After a few seconds of silence, Lieutenant General William continued to ask, "Didn't they send back a message before, and everything was normal?" Why did you suddenly lose contact in just half an hour? ”
The chief of staff on the side also said: "There is too much interference in the space environment here, try again?" ”
The intelligence officer shook his head: "This state-of-the-art communication system can ensure unimpeded communication in 7 galaxies even in the harshest environment, and it is specially equipped for the special space environment here in the Shattered Star Domain...... The reconnaissance fleet lost contact, and in our judgment, it is very likely that they took the initiative to turn off the communications...... Or the whole army is wiped out......"
The chief of staff's expression changed: "Don't we still have a prison guard to follow?" Have you contacted him, if there is an accident, he should send a message back immediately. ”
The intelligence officer stretched out his hand and touched the light screen in front of him: "We have received the death information of the prison guard, without any warning, and without any news coming back, he died suddenly......"
"Dead?" Vice Admiral William's eyes narrowed: "Although that fleet is the fleet of the Jimei Group, they are all light assault frigates, and they are known for their speed, even if they encounter an emergency, they should have time to escape...... Isn't it possible to reach a single battleship? ”
The intelligence officer shook his head: "Can't be contacted." All the warships seemed to have evaporated from the world. ”
"Have you re-examined the galaxy analysis information they sent back before?" The chief of staff asked with a frown.
"It's all been reviewed, and there are no issues." The intelligence officer replied reluctantly.
At this time, even Mr. Lin, the representative of the Qingtian mercenaries not far away, his face changed.
Vice Admiral William suppressed his anger, and at this time he must be calm: "Release the reconnaissance satellite to the galaxy, and be sure to find the traces of this fleet, even if it is a wreckage!" ”
"Yes!" The intelligence officer immediately responded.
The chief of staff followed up and asked: "Is the fleet going to stay where it is?" ”
Vice Admiral William's eyes were like torches, and he was categorical: "We can't delay time, the main force of the Tianxin Legion can't fight with us in the nearby galaxy, if it's just a small guerrilla fleet, don't be afraid, advance normally, you can't delay time." ”
"Yes!" Seeing his undiminished confidence, the generals calmed down a lot of their hearts that were originally a little worried, and immediately went to carry out the order.
Since entering the Shattered Star Domain, the situation has been continuous, and Vice Admiral William has also restrained the last trace of contempt for the Tianxin Legion at this moment, if the 500 fleet is really destroyed without even sending out a call for help in a short time, the combat power of this Tianxin Legion will have to be re-evaluated.
As for defection, it's not that he didn't think about it, but he ruled out this idea from the bottom of his heart, how dare they defect?
Who would dare to oppose them in the Eighteen Star Fields?
"General, I just received information from the stargate, the space environment of the next galaxy has changed, and the number of starships that can pass is limited, and with the size of our fleet, it must be divided into 5 batches to pass." The adjutant trotted over to report.
The next galaxy?
Isn't it the same galaxy where 500 battleships disappeared?
As soon as there was an accident on the front foot, the space environment changed behind it, how could there be such a coincidence?
Vice Admiral William's expression remained unchanged: "The heavy defensive cruiser fleet passes through first, ready for battle, and the other fleets pass through the stargate in batches in the order of the forward, left flank, middle army, right flank, and rear army, and the 'Huiteng-class' star carrier enters the stargate with the left wing army, don't panic." ”
"Yes!"
The generals answered again.
Is there going to be a war? Everyone did not have the slightest look of worry, but a little more excitement.
PS: After that, it will be stable and restored to 8 o'clock in the evening, and one chapter at 9 o'clock. Thank you for your support!
