Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Verge!
Of course, people want to run away quickly.
But the size and mass of Deep Space are too large, which means ...... Its acceleration is necessarily very limited, at most 1 meter per square second.
Forty kilometers, tens of billions of tons of volume are placed here, and if the acceleration is high, whether it is the hull material or the engine, it will not be able to withstand it.
It can't do it, it can't do it, like a small spaceship roaring with an acceleration of dozens of g, and can only accelerate slowly bit by bit, like a snail crawling.
In fact, this acceleration is not slow, but compared to the vast desert universe, it is still far from enough.
"Well, can't you use the curvature engine?"
In just such a period of time, Yu Yifeng has devoted himself to this escape mission.
He saw that the "Dig 114" still looked so huge, and he felt that his spaceship had never moved at all, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
His heart was beating faster and faster, and there was a feeling of heaviness like an abyss. This heaviness can completely explode at any moment and pull everyone into the abyss......
"It's too slow, it's too slow...... Isn't this intentional to make people catch up? Yu Yifeng knocked on the table impatiently, and began to urge the experts who were in charge of the engine again.
Yu Yifeng knew in his heart that the acceleration of 1 meter per square second had far exceeded the rated standard, and the entire Deep Space was "buzzing" and shaking, and it was impossible to go faster.
"No, Captain, the curvature engine will never work, and it hasn't been long since the planet was left...... It's too difficult! The middle-aged man on the screen said as he grabbed his hair, obviously under great pressure.
As he spoke, he grabbed a few strands of his hair.
"The curvature of the space here is just too big...... It's going to explode! ”
Or ...... There is a 98% chance that it will explode! No, you can't use a curvature engine! The expert shook his head in annoyance: "Generally speaking, we need to be more than three million kilometers away from the planet to maintain a high success rate...... That is, it takes 22 hours of emergency acceleration! ”
Nearby calculators are frantically calculating all sorts of orbits, as well as all sorts of probability problems.
Another expert said, "Yes, the risk is too great at the moment...... The farther away from the planet, the more successful we are in navigating with curvature. ”
Yu Yifeng's brows furrowed tightly, the probability of explosion of more than 98% was really terrifying.
He really didn't dare to take this risk......
The urging was fruitless, and he had no choice but to wait anxiously for the Deep Space to slowly move away.
An hour......
Two hours......
Three hours......
Time passed minute by minute, just after Yi Feng and the others set off for 8 hours and flew a distance of more than 400,000 kilometers......
People's detectors have finally observed some sub-light individuals!
Then, within 20 minutes, 6 billion kilometers away, a bright point of light appeared!
It is the point of light of the explosion of the curvature engine......
A very unlucky enemy drone slammed into a celestial body similar to the Kuiper Belt, and after the curvature bubble shattered, there was a violent explosion.
This observation of the point of light made everyone's hearts nervous to the extreme, and everyone felt the atmosphere of war.
"The enemy's speed is about 0.8 times the speed of light! It's too fast...... No, it's slowing down extremely quickly! ”
Professor Thomson, who was in charge of astronomical observations, said in surprise at a very fast pace: "No, no, no, this kind of slowdown definitely exceeds the safety standard by a large margin...... No matter how high the technology is, it can't be like this! ”
As he spoke, various dense bursts of light appeared on the observation platform one after another.
These points of light were all broken by the curvature bubbles caused by forced deceleration, and in just half an hour, a total of two or three hundred were exploded!
Of course, there are also a large number of enemy drones hidden in dark space, and at such a long distance, it is difficult for people to clearly observe them, and they can only be faintly detected by the infrared rays emitted by the engines.
Even because of the small mass, the vast majority of spacecraft are difficult to observe even with gravitational-wave telescopes......
The largest light cluster...... Forty kilometers have already been reached!
These are all spaceships that can move faster than the speed of light, and they explode without sailing according to safety standards, which can't help but make people secretly frightened. Such a powerful lineup simply wants to use industrial power to smash the new human civilization to death......
"Fortunately, a large number of drones self-destructed due to the shattering of the curvature cannon......"
"Don't die, such a crazy deceleration, the curvature bubble is broken, it's just a probability...... The curvature engine is unbearable, and most of the opponent's drone will be damaged in this wave of deceleration! ”
"Even if it's not damaged, the curvature engine has to be repaired before it can be activated......," several scientists excitedly discussed when they saw the scene.
“…… Coordinate bearing...... That's right! That's the coordinates! The coordinates we got! ”
Some optimists believe that these points of light are densely packed like fireworks...... Fireworks to see people off.
But Yu Yifeng didn't think so, he was worried......
So many hours are far from enough for the Deep Space to sail to the safe limits of the deployment of the curvature engine!
More than 400,000 kilometers, it is still too close, start the curvature engine, and it is likely to explode directly. At that time, even if the Deep Space is not completely destroyed, there will be no way to escape.
In his opinion, these points of light bring boundless killing opportunities.
The slaughter brought about by the war has shrouded the hearts of all soldiers!
Yu Yifeng gritted his teeth, his face flashed a little hideous, since it was a probability, the other party must have a certain certainty!
An interstellar civilization that develops to a higher level than human beings will inevitably have countless amazing talents. They are definitely not stupid or stupid than humans, but they are more proficient in calculations and more aware of cosmic warfare than humans.
The other party observed the Deep Space in advance, and must have studied the specific level of science and technology, and was sure to eat the human race, so he would make such a suicidal crazy move......
Because, there will always be spaceships that survive in a small probability situation, and these surviving unmanned spacecraft will be the ...... people face Worst enemy!
The other party may think that as long as these surviving ships survive, they can defeat or drag Deep Space......
Moreover, such a crazy move can only show ...... The value of Gaia creatures in the hearts of the enemy is far greater than these drones that can be sacrificed!
He sighed heavily, steadying his mind.
"Titan, Deep Space began to fire long-range lasers, and the others are on standby for the time being!"
"Deep Space, make an evasive gesture!"
When the two sides observed each other, it was already the beginning of the war. Fragments of light-speed weapons began to shoot at each other, of course, because the distance was too large, and it was not a firepower network, so it basically could not hit.
Even so, both sides still have to try, and if they hit, it will be great luck and they can take a certain advantage.
Yu Yifeng clenched his fists with both hands, patience, patience, it was not the time to launch a large number of electromagnetic cannons!
Electromagnetic guns are not lasers, they have limited speed and quantity, and they cannot be fired at will.
The universe is really too big, and no matter how much you pour cannonballs, it's just a drop in the ocean. It is almost impossible to fill the entire target area with shells! So...... The distance between the two sides must be close enough for the cannon to be accurate enough.
Be patient, be patient!
Now is the case, be sure to calm down!
0.8 times the speed of light, crossing a distance of 6 billion kilometers, it takes about 6.94 hours, counting the large delay in observation information, and counting the fact that the other side is slowing down, the battle is likely to start in two hours, in the area of "Dig-114" 3 million kilometers.
The first battle will be between the drones of the two sides......
Crazy fighting!
In such tense moments, even the most stable people could not be calm, and many members of the think tank had already gathered in the captain's room, and they were silent, just observing, silently waiting.
Waiting for the other party to approach, waiting for the best time.
People have done the best they can, and there is no more way.
The big war is on the verge of breaking out!
