"Gun crews ready! ~The missile is launched! ”

Andy, who was the artillery sergeant, looked at the approaching Federation fighter formation with red eyes, clenched the machine gun pole with both hands, and roared hysterically: "Evan is still waiting for me on Earth, I can't die here!" ~Damn federal mongrel, I'm going to knock you all down! ”

"The engine is at full power, acceleration! ～”

At the same time, Cecilia, who was driving the ship, finally stopped suppressing the super acceleration of the TR-735 ship, and under the strong propulsion of the 'Star Vortex' engine, the TR-735 ship was like a wild horse that had escaped, instantly catching up with the ships that were desperately rushing towards the R-N black hole in front.

In the rear of the fleet, the Federation fighter formation sent a warning communication to the fleet according to the custom, but after sensing that the unknown fleet was completely ignored, the commander of the fighter formation decisively issued an attack order. Suddenly, more than a dozen warplanes simultaneously aimed at the TR-735 ship, which had the largest target, and launched a tracking missile.

At this moment, due to the slow acceleration of about 28 minutes, the speed of the ships of the fleet is close to the sub-light speed that meets the space jump requirements. Moreover, under the influence of the suction force of the r-n black hole, the surrounding space has also begun to become extremely unstable, and even some huge energy charges will appear suddenly, and the huge energy released will instantly blow up the nearby celestial bodies that are attracted by the black hole and are dragged away from the flight orbit.

At present, the position of each ship is very close to the black hole, and the outer layer of the black hole is a black hole disk filled with powerful energy, which makes the surrounding space very affected by the gravitational field, and in this area, the missile cannot shoot accurately at all. Originally, the Federation fighter formation targeted the TR-735 because it landed at the rear of the fleet and had not yet entered the gravitational field of the black hole. However, they apparently underestimated the instantaneous acceleration of the TR-735, and after increasing the engine power to the limit, the TR-735 reached sub-light speed almost instantaneously, and preemptively entered the black hole gravitational field before the missile posed a threat. The missile that was chasing after it deviated from its shooting trajectory due to the influence of the gravitational field, and was detonated under the intensification of the super energy of the black hole disk, bursting like a bright firework in the dark night.

Almost as soon as the orange flame from the explosion appeared, it was pulled into a spiral-like halo like a vortex by the black hole's suction force. Witnessing this wonderful scene in front of him, the commander of the Federal Fighter Formation could only watch the TR-735 ship that fell at the rear of the fleet enter the gravitational area of the black hole, and regretfully gave the order to stop the pursuit.

Although the F-5 space shuttle can also meet the sub-light speed of negative energy generation, the main function of the F-5 space shuttle is aerial combat, and it is not designed to have the necessary protection facilities to pass through wormholes. If they are forcibly pursued, even if they successfully pass through the wormhole, the pilot in the cockpit is destined to suffer incurable damage due to the influence of the four-dimensional space. Therefore, after leading the formation to pull out an arc to avoid the gravitational field of the black hole, this patrol formation of fifty fighters chose to leave without hesitation.

No one wanted to be killed by a routine investigation, and while the fleet was suspicious, there was no indication that the transport fleet was an enemy fleet. Within the Federation, there are many private transport fleets that have not been approved by the military and are also running transportation for the Union Army, so it is natural for the commander of the fighter formation to include Robin's fleet.

The TR-735 ship, which escaped by relying on the explosive acceleration of its engine, was suddenly jubilant in the ship after entering the safe area of the black hole's gravitational field.

If it weren't for the rear of the TR-735, the missile salvo of the Union fighter formation would definitely have left at least two transport ships behind. It was because of the opponent's misjudgment of the acceleration of the TR-735 that the entire fleet was able to pass through this most difficult level completely. Therefore, the old Jack, who modified the engine and power furnace of the TR-735 ship, is undoubtedly the greatest contributor to saving everyone on the ship. At this moment, in the power cabin of the ship, the young people in the mechanic class had even thrown Old Jack high in ecstasy, and Old Jack, who was enjoying the cheers of everyone, also let them throw himself into the sky like a toy, and that feeling made him feel as if he had returned to his youth.

At the same time, Cecilia in the bridge driver's seat let out a long sigh of haggard heart. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat just now, and if only her reaction was a second slower, maybe the ending would be different. So after surviving this biggest crisis, an irresistible fatigue suddenly made her whole body relax.

Now, after the navigator enters the four-dimensional space coordinates, each ship has changed to autopilot, and everyone, including the captain of each ship, has fixed themselves to their seats with safety belts, silently waiting for the first wormhole jump in their lives.

In the Republic of the Nine Stars, although most captains have never had the personal experience of wormhole jumping, the database of the central computer keeps a lot of wormhole jumping materials preserved from the period of great exploration. In the training camp for pilots of large spaceships, there are also relevant courses for simulating wormhole jumping in the training course, so the captains of each ship have already popularized the safety knowledge of wormhole jumping to all the shipboard personnel before the start of the operation, and the uncomfortable reactions generated during various wormhole jumps are also psychologically prepared in advance and will not panic.

At this moment, if you can observe the situation of the entire fleet from outside the universe, then you will immediately find that the seven spaceships, including the TR-735, are like seven small sampans that have been swept into the vortex, and have completely lost control under the huge suction force of the black hole, and plunged headlong into the pitch-black hole like a bottomless pit.

Although the black hole looks like a bottomless pit visually, it is actually a concave spherical shape.

The concave spherical shape may sound difficult to understand, but if you have ever seen a concave or convex mirror, you will know that the concave surface you see must be behind a convex surface. The same is true for black holes, which are the result of the shrinkage of stars, the collapse of a huge space in the universe. What you can see with the naked eye is always one side of the black hole, which means that no matter which way you look at it, the black hole is actually the same. So, a black hole is a concave spherical shape made up of an infinite number of concave faces, each of which has a convex surface on the back. The four-dimensional spatial coordinates refer to these concave surfaces, and the concave and convex surfaces are four-dimensional spatial passages leading to different galaxies.

However, because black holes have a huge gravitational field, even light cannot escape under the black hole's attraction, so there is an effect called 'event horizon' on the black hole's periphery. Under this special effect, space will be bent and deformed, and for humans, this can directly disturb the balance of the human body, and its excessive spatial effect will even directly destroy the human brain.

Therefore, since the first discovery of the serious adverse reactions caused by wormhole jumping, ship autopilot has become the primary criterion for wormhole jumping navigation. Moreover, the crew members in the bridge who directly witnessed the 'event horizon' had to close their eyes and secure their heads in their seats. The gravity device inside the ship must also stop working, so that the interior of the ship is in a state of gravityless weightlessness without producing a spatial intensification reaction.

"God bless ......"

Robin secured himself to his seat, nervously clasping the armrests of the seat to resist the growing tremor of the ship's hull.

And beside him, Zhuo Luo, who was already a 'phobia of enclosed space', was already pale. Although he tried his best to restrain the fear that was spreading in his heart, the violent tremor of the ship's hull still made him naturally think that the ship's body would fall apart in this violent tremor. Moreover, due to the fact that all the aviation lights in the ship were turned off, and all his senses were affected by the 'event horizon', he felt like he was out of his body now, and the black hole as black as a bottomless pit was like the mouth of the Yellow Spring that led to hell in the legend.

'Buzz! ～’

While everyone was thinking about this unknown fear, a piercing hum suddenly sounded in their ears. Immediately, everyone who leaned the back of the chair felt that the world was spinning.

Robin had closed his eyes tightly, but he could still clearly see the colorful passage hidden in the darkness through his consciousness. Vaguely, he was like riding a roller coaster, whirling through this gorgeous passage.

The illusion was fleeting, and by the time Robin pulled his mind back to reality from the hallucinatory scenario, the ship's aviation lights, which had been turned off by wormhole jumps, were back on. At the same time, under the action of the gravity device in the ship's body, the gravity in the ship has also returned to normal data.

Pulling the safety belt hard, Robin stumbled to the ground, retching in embarrassment. The others were no different from him, it seemed that Zhuo Luo wanted to maintain his cool manly demeanor, but after barely holding on to his seat for a while, he finally couldn't bear the strong dizziness that swirled around the world, and couldn't help but open his mouth and spew out a large stream of filth.

Similar scenes are playing out in various cabins in the ship at this moment, and even the bridge crew with simulation training can hardly suppress this adverse reaction after the real wormhole jump. Comparatively speaking, only Cecilia and Angus, two pilots who are good at extreme speed, can still maintain normalcy.

When this adverse reaction gradually subsided, the ship's crew walked out of the sour cabin with curiosity and confusion, and crowded around the ship's window to look at this extremely strange starry sky.

Where is this? Over here...... Is it really the Centaur Alpha system?
