Chapter 171: Return

It took a full fifteen minutes for Du Yunshan to recover from his extremely complicated emotions, suppress his anger and look at the content of the last part of the message. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Special note: In the process of cracking this case, Jason Cornell, a reserve general of the Imperial Military Department and an earl-level brain reformer, played a crucial role, and it was he who found a flaw in the report handed in by the institute afterwards, which led to the breakthrough in solving the entire case......

Speaking of this, the old man raised his head and stared at me, and continued in a very solemn tone: "That was the first time I met your captain and grandfather, and it was really a waste of effort to find him......

At this point, I finally fully understood the relationship between Grandpa Jason and this adult who has been bullish, an intelligent life form deliberately designed by others, but created by accident, and one of the most low-key "idlers" among the few mental modifiers in the empire, through the investigation of the man-made "accident".

Through Skynet information, Du Yunshan found out that Grandpa Jason's cargo ship was loaded with a shipload of ore half a month ago and was on its way to the Seventh Star Zone. Eager to learn more about the incident from his grandfather, he immediately set off, hoping to meet the discerning captain as soon as possible.

Jason's ship was hit by a massive electromagnetic storm surge, a catastrophe that affected nearly an entire cantilever source, and was caused by a rare spatial anomaly. The earliest cause of this event was a supernova explosion located seventeen light-years away from Benjamin's shipping lane, and the huge amount of rays it radiated arrived at a star system about fifty astronomical units outside the channel three months ago, an effect that had not been discovered by astronomers in the past, affecting the star in this star system, which was nearly fifty times larger than the Sun in the Shengdu system, and suddenly accelerated its fusion reaction speed in the next half month. Astronomers estimate the overall increase to be about 10 to 15 percent. This small state of excitement for it directly caused the entire star region where it was located to set off electromagnetic waves covering most of the bands.

According to the provisions of the "Galactic Empire Interstellar Passage Classification and Precautions", the maximum speed it can ensure safety is 3.0 Eitan (Imperial speed unit, each Eitan = one speed of light), and more than 20% of it is covered with gravitational reefs, asteroid belts, and dense mass of matter...... and other obstacles, which can only be passed cautiously at high sub-light speeds. Such a "low-end" route is extremely lively, for the simple reason that at one end of it, it connects the seventh star sector with an extremely rare resource sector, and this newly developed resource zone has created hundreds of billionaires.

All living beings are bustling for profit, and almost all the old captains who run interstellar transportation are greedy for this windfall, and as long as they can pass it, they are rushing here. As a former first-class hero of the empire, although Jason is not very interested in being an official, he is very popular in the Holy Capital, and such a fat meat naturally has old friends who have given him news very early, so his Benjamin became one of the first cargo ships to start returning with ore.

At that time, Benjamin happened to be in the center of an asteroid belt in the channel, the entire asteroid belt with a radius of nearly half a light year, the electromagnetic storm surge that began last night (Holy Capital time) destroyed Benjamin's superfeed antenna in the first time, this loss made it instantly deaf and blind, and the emergency equipment controlled the spacecraft to urgently exit the high sub-light speed state and reverse propulsion and decelerate to two percent of the speed of light. After being summoned by the shrill siren, all the people on the ship immediately began emergency maintenance, and after a long period of confusion, it was finally determined that the spacecraft was still largely intact, but the scanning system and some communication facilities were damaged and difficult to repair, and the only flight scanning system that could still continue to work was only UHF radar and optical auxiliary equipment, which were mainly used as auxiliary equipment.

Upon learning of this, Captain Jason immediately gave orders that all eighteen crew members on board the Benjamin be divided into three shifts of eight hours, and that he and another senior pilot work in two shifts, and that he himself be responsible for sixteen hours.

After entering the state of emergency, Benjamin began to maintain the speed of light at 2 percent of the speed of light and cautiously sailed forward, which was considered a thrilling journey under Jason's full brain, and according to his calculations, it would take another two months to fly through the densest area of the current asteroid. In the process, it was learned from the scattered information received by the remaining auxiliary antennas on the ship that the superstorm had caused accidents to more than 1,000 spacecraft sailing in the local area, and more than half of them had been confirmed to be wrecked.

Until fifteen minutes ago, Benjamin had just made a rather thrilling journey, but fortunately everything was fine except for the slight damage to the hull caused by the impact of several asteroids, and after the ship sailed into the current relatively calm and empty area, it received a message from a navigation tower, informing everyone of a very important matter, the seventh star sector had sent a rescue fleet, so that all ships in distress must keep communication open and send a distress signal. Seeing this message, Jason immediately sent out a distress signal, and after making sure that there was no threat nearby, he raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples, which were a little painful.

"Want to get out of here quickly?"

The main display on the console flickered suddenly, and then a line of words slowly swiped across the center of the screen instead of the radar view that had been displayed earlier.

Jason reached out and rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't delusional, then jerked his head up and looked around the control room. I saw that the two crew members who were helping him in the control room had already left their seats, and were now standing in front of the coffee machine each holding a cup and chatting softly, while the rest of the control room was empty. So he lowered his head again and reached out to tap on the control keyboard, trying to figure out if something was wrong with the device.

"Don't look for it, I'm right in front of you."

The second line of words is flashing in the center of the screen...... (To be continued.) )
