Chapter 547: White Dwarf
"Crackling Bilibili" With a small grinding sound, some of the surrounding blue glittering crystals were constantly polished and shattered, and then these things were packed into the pre-assembled energy tank.
Ike was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this point, staring blankly at the large number of parts on his knees that he used to make the energy magazine. Ike is now grinding some of the energy crystals he got from Simga and making them into emissible energy that can be used.
This is thanks to the "sharpening the gun" skill, otherwise he would definitely not be able to do it. At the beginning of Sigma, Ike actually took advantage of people's inattention to pull out a lot of energy crystals in Nikolai's laboratory.
This may seem unethical, but the reason Ike didn't inform Nikolai was to get him to abandon his unrealistic assumptions about implanted chips and focus his research on aliens.
Nikolai's original vision was that the human body could be implanted with more than one implantable chip through the energy crystal, without the risk of death or even any harm. Ike thought that this idea was obviously impossible, so he simply stole almost all of Nikolai's energy crystals and kept them for himself.
Now it seems that Ike was both right and wrong in the first place.
He is correct because these energy crystals at this time can completely solve the current urgent task of ammunition scarcity. And to say that he was wrong, it was that Ike himself was able to hold up three top-level energy chips without dying, which is similar to the BZ energy theory mentioned by Nikolai. So Ike's survival proves Nikolai's rightness.
From this point of view, the world is so contradictory, but also so wonderful.
"Crackling," one last thought flashed through his mind. With a blank expression, Ike placed the last of his energy clips into his spatial backpack, and then he stood up and looked at the metal and energy chips all over the floor.
Ike didn't say anything, he didn't bother with the garbage piled up, he wasn't a cleanliness addict, so he didn't clean up the debris all over the ground in the quarantine area that he had monopolized.
After crafting the things, Ike turned away. Pushed open his closed door and entered the cab of the ejection bay.
After entering, he saw first. but they are lying on the ground.
These people lay on the ground not because they had been killed, but because they were so tired that after waiting for a while, they all fell asleep. You know, since being imprisoned by Ceph. These people are so affected by the interfering frequency waves emitted by the Cephs that they simply fall asleep. Their lifespan has also decreased a lot because of this.
And before and during the whole process of starting Rezenov's plan, and even after the plan was successful, everyone was in a state of high mental tension, but this state can be said to be a low degree of retribution, of course, this does not mean that they are going to die.
It's just that the mental overdraft is very serious, so everyone at this moment involuntarily fell to the ground and quickly fell into a deep sleep. It was as if he was unconscious.
Ike glanced over and found the surroundings around the bridge. All of them fell asleep, and some of them snored loudly. According to this posture, it is estimated that even if you step on them, they will not have any reaction.
Ike walked past the group of people with a blank face, and he walked casually and silently through the gap between their heads and arms, and between their crotch, before stinking lightly to the console.
Puffey, Hargrave and the others were lying on the console with their hands on their hands, snoring, not to mention that these people had chairs and tables to sit on at this time, but they were not as comfortable as the hundred or so people who fell asleep on the ground. Of course, when they slept on their pillows, they deliberately avoided those buttons, so they did not interfere with the piloting of the ejection bay.
As for the driver at this time, it's naturally our crazy Lori robot that is a little noisy.
At this moment, she was humming a little tune, stretching out a pair of triangular fork-like mechanical paws, constantly tapping back and forth on the keyboard in front of her, and as she tapped, the screen in front of her began to change.
At this point, the ship is passing through a white dwarf collapsing gravitational belt, which is so strong that it can tear anything but light into it in an instant, melt it with high temperatures, or tear it into pieces with gravity.
This high-density, high-temperature low-light object is very dangerous, so it is important to stay away. However, when the ejection capsule's surveyor detected the white dwarf, it was already in the gravitational range of the white dwarf.
However, the distance here is still very far, so it is still a relatively small gravitational force, and the ejection capsule is not immediately drawn into it, but continues to pull outward under the manipulation of the little noise, flying away from the white dwarf.
Ike couldn't help but look out the transparent window, and the area around the white dwarf at this time attracted a large amount of interstellar dust and meteorites because of its huge gravitational pull. These dust and meteorites are arranged directly around the white dwarf star several times, three layers inside and three layers outside, and they look like a series of tightly packed rings of silver dust, which is both beautiful and mysterious.
However, if you want to explore this beauty, you obviously have to pay a price, although the current technology of human beings can do wormhole crossing. But not to mention black holes, even high-density objects such as white dwarfs and red giants, which were initially collapsed by stars, would be difficult and dangerous to approach. High-level warships such as Starcarriers and Heavy Assault Ships can be tried, but other ships will be killed.
"Woo wow wow ~ hurry up and fly away ~ dangerous ~ ahhhh Xiao Noisy muttered quietly as he manipulated the isolation capsule away from the gravitational range of the white dwarf. She was also considerate, knowing that these people were very tired and resting, so they didn't make any sound, which was a miracle for Ike. However, with the current level of sleep of these people, it is estimated that they will not wake up no matter how noisy they are.
Little Noise muttered quietly as she piloted the isolation pod, which was gradually moving away from the gravitational sphere under her pilot.
Even in the outer range of the gravitational wave of the white dwarf, it is still relatively difficult to fly away, among which there are certainly deficiencies in the power system of the isolation module, but more importantly, it is a small noisy poor operation.
"Let me come." Ike grabbed the little noisy little paw and placed it on the shoulder of his cracked nano-biosuit.
"Ah......h ”
"Of course." Ike nodded expressionlessly, then put his hands on the console in front of him, and he quickly took over the work before the little noise, "It's good that I came out a little earlier, otherwise we would have been buried in the white dwarf by now." ”
"Uh...... Aren't you curious if Little Noise can survive in the stars, now I'm going to challenge the white dwarf. If you can survive in white dwarfs, then in ordinary stars, you can't ......"
"Smack"
"If you have this kind of dangerous brain hole, you know the consequences......"
"Got it, Mr. Dragonov!" The little noise stood on Ike's shoulder and saluted the air inexplicably, "I won't dare to be spicy next time!" ”
"It's good to know." Ike looked at the white dwarf in front of him again, and for some reason, he couldn't help but think of the previous dream of the halo of the light bridge that he had experienced many times.
Then Ike shook his head slightly, he came back to his senses, no longer thinking about this kind of thing, but focusing on driving.
As an ace pilot, for this kind of thing between danger and the edge of safety, with mastering the driving skills of the Cehp isolation cabin, he naturally has to deal with it very easily.
"Now, then." Ike looked at the white dwarf again, then took a light breath and turned his head to look ahead, "Let's go." ”
The speed of the isolation chamber was already at the highest top speed, so even if it was replaced by him to drive, there was no difference in the sense of speed, but in the details, it changed a lot.
Ike passed Ceph's spacecraft fine-tuning technology, combined with side-jet technology, and piloted the spacecraft to gradually move away from the white dwarf at the cost of half the original energy consumption.
This time, the spacecraft moved much faster away from the white dwarf. And since the denominator of gravity is the square of distance, the gravitational pull decreases rapidly every time they move away from the white dwarf.
After an hour of flying like this, under Ike's control, the ship finally flew out of the gravitational range of the white dwarf, completely out of danger.
Now they are completely safe, there is no more white dwarf crisis like the one just now, and there is no threat from Ceph.
Ike had been working on the energy weapon ammunition for a long time, and during that time, the quarantine pod had not encountered Ceph's ship at all, which meant that Ceph had completely abandoned the search for them.
And now, they have passed through a large white dwarf danger zone, which is equivalent to an extra layer of insurance, and there is no doubt that Ceph will not come again.
PS: If it was before, I would have written a whole chapter in detail about making weapons and ammunition, but now I finally know that the details are appropriate and I have passed it in one stroke...... (To be continued......)
