227 Survival

Almost all warships of interstellar civilizations have a self-destruct function, and this self-destruct does not detonate its own ammunition depot, but adds a variable destabilizer to the energy module, which converts the ship's antimatter energy stack into a large antimatter bomb in a very short time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Starships set up such functions basically to deal a fatal blow to the enemy in the last fight, and use it as a common end. And more importantly, even if any starship has no military intelligence, from construction to details, it is full of a civilization's technical intelligence, through understanding and calculation, it can have a deep understanding of a civilization, and even some important technologies may cause serious consequences to the civilization if they flow into the enemy's hands.

Although a Tai-A-class frigate is already a very important asset for the Star Alliance, which now has a small number of ships, it would take a month to build one in a shipyard. But at this time, in order to protect all the surviving crew members and create an opportunity for the Holy Falcon to escape, Bai Zhongqi could only grit his teeth and be ruthless.

When Chi Jia came out of the rescue capsule, the first thing he saw was the screen of the Holy Falcon dock module, where an asteroid with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers was smashed towards the Holy Falcon. The Holy Falcon had been receiving traction capsules and simply could not leave the asteroid's reach in a short period of time.

And at this moment, Bai Zhongqi decisively detonated the Richelieu. With the powerful power generated by the explosion, he could push away the huge asteroid for a short distance, even if it was only a delay of two or three seconds, and after receiving the last rescue pod, Bai Zhongqi could complete the energy storage of the Holy Falcon and launch a short-range space jump to avoid the huge asteroid.

At the moment when the antimatter was out of constraint and annihilated by the interaction with the positive matter, the entire ship was engulfed by powerful energy, and the ship that had contributed to the Star Union and discovered the Eden system was directly decomposed into the most primitive atomic state at this moment.

Chi Jia's paper captain's logbook placed in the captain's room, the star poster posted on the wall of the crew's sleeping cabin, the vase of plants that had fallen in the dining room, and the banshee fighter plane that had been damaged on the tarmac were all shrouded in strong light at this moment, and then ceased to exist.

Chi Jia watched the ship that had become bound to him and his crew disappear, and he was stunned for a moment, and the optical sensor of the Holy Falcon adjusted the light to make it less rumored, but after the light was gone, there was no trace of the Richelieu in that space.

However, Bai Zhongqi succeeded.

Although the terrifying explosion did not move the flying asteroid, it slowed the asteroid and blew a huge crack in the surface of the asteroid. Bai Zhongqi won 2.883 seconds, and the energy storage of the Holy Falcon's short-range space jump was completed, and without any delay, he immediately commanded the ship to jump to a position more than 10,000 kilometers away.

Although a few small star fragments hit the Holy Falcon as soon as it jumped out, causing the massive ship to shake a bit, the impact was completely within the reach of the Holy Falcon's energy shield.

As soon as Tashvi climbed out of the rescue pod, he was knocked down by this shaking and knocked a little, but the feeling of escaping death was still very good, he climbed up with the help of several comrades on the ship, and waved his arms wildly.

“Mother-fucker! the supernova explosion, and we're still alive! ”

Jun Jiushao passed by him and said with a faint expression: "We haven't passed this crisis yet, we are still within the scope of the supernova explosion, this supernova will release more energy, if we stay here for a while, there will be more danger." ”

Bai Zhongqi in the bridge had a calm temperament and did not completely relax. Now it's the star fragments pushed by the energy shockwave, and the next thing to come is the energy burst from the star, which will directly deplete the Holy Falcon's energy shield and destroy the battleship completely.

This is definitely not a fun place, and Bai Zhongqi does not plan to stay here for another second.

Zero turned his head to look at him and said, "Your Majesty, according to your plan, we jumped into this low-risk gap, and it only takes three minutes for the warp engine to restart, and we can jump out." ”

Bai Zhongqi nodded, there was no need for him to intervene much at this time. Zero, as a battleship AI, maneuvered the large and small weapons on this battlecruiser very well, aiming at the shards of the stars that were approaching, and smashing them one by one. Once the final preparations are complete, the Holy Falcon will be able to leave this hellish place.

At this time, Bai Zhongqi received a message from Chi Jia, the captain of the Richelieu who was in the dock.

"Your Majesty, we have made a preliminary count of the number of people, three comrades-in-arms died in the collision, three comrades-in-arms died after the ejection of the rescue pod, and we have just found out that there are seven comrades-in-arms who have died because they did not withstand the gamma-ray burst in space."

Bai Zhongqi listened to this report, and his heart couldn't help but be very heavy. The sacrifice of thirteen people in such an unfortunate situation can basically be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. This is the true norm in the universe, a place of utter and unforgiving circumstances, with all sorts of unexpected circumstances, and even with the most advanced technology, the pioneers of space exploration continue to pay the price of blood. It's the same for the Iridium people, who die in the universe every year for countless people.

The shock wave disruption of a supernova explosion is one part, and the powerful gamma-ray burst emanating from a star is another. Humans who are exposed to gamma rays have absolutely no chance of surviving. With the protection of the Iridium rescue capsule, coupled with the liberation of genetic superiority and enhanced resistance to the cosmic environment, most people still survived, but they may experience a lot of physical sequelae afterwards and need a period of conditioning and recuperation. There were still seven crew members who did not carry it and were directly killed by gamma rays.

When the warp engine cooled down and the Holy Falcon opened the warp bubble again, Bai Zhongqi and the crew of the ship successfully broke away from the surface of the universe, and the various injuries of the supernova explosion would not be able to touch them.

At this time, Bai Zhongqi breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to a trace of prostration.

He turned on the ship's radio channel and said to the crew who had escaped death: "Everyone, we have succeeded. ”

All the crew in the dock cabin cheered at this moment, in the case of nine deaths, the supreme ruler of the actual civilization, the head of Iridium, did not give up on them, but led everyone to break through against the risk, and the courage and will he showed were awe-inspiring.
