Chapter 125: Traveler No. 1
Voyager 1 is trudging through the universe......
The probe, which has been traveling alone in space for more than 30 years, was launched by the people of the United States in 1977, and it observed Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto along the way, and after completing the mission in 1989, the United States Space Agency instructed it to head towards the center of the Milky Way.
Recently, the two high-energy telescopes carried by Voyager 1 have received more and more cosmic rays, and the number of high-energy particles sensed by the detectors has also changed, and the number of these particles originating from the sun has decreased, indicating that it has gradually walked on the edge of the solar system.
It was fortunate that it set off in September 1977 and overtook its twin brother Voyager 2 in December of the same year, and it is very likely that it will forever be recorded in the history of human spaceflight with this honor...... The premise is that it can safely reach the edge of the solar system and bring back enough valuable information before it is completely destroyed.
After a long thirty years of travel, under the endless exposure of cosmic rays and the impact of stardust particles, its metal frame has gradually developed fatigue, and the solar panels are full of potholes, like a pockmarked face, even with the most optimistic estimates, it can only work for another ten years, I am afraid that it will not wait until 2025 when the two plutonium batteries in the body are completely exhausted, and it will be reimbursed.
At that point, it will be a piece of lifeless metal garbage, meaningless to humans.
Therefore, when it was time to shoot at the scheduled time, it had to turn on the camera function in time, aimed at a certain place in the void, and shot again, and at the same time, the captured information was transmitted back to Earth as soon as possible through the encrypted channel.
At this moment, a ** material shock began in the void without warning, and the material particles in the void were dispelled as if they had encountered some kind of repulsion, and the entire void seemed to be completely ionized, and the thick and twisted currents were snaking and struggling, like dying snakes.
A distinct silhouette gradually appeared in the void, boom!
There was a silent loud bang in the universe, and the overwhelming energy impact was like a billion-ton hydrogen bomb suddenly exploding, releasing a high-speed energy stream towards the surroundings!
Crackling, Voyager 1's pockmarked face was much deeper, but it meticulously captured everything it saw.
That's, a space battleship!
Although, it doesn't seem to be doing well......
This is an absolute behemoth, its size is incalculable, its whole body has a dark and rough color, its wings are thirty kilometers long, the head and tail are forty kilometers long, and its weight is measured in hundreds of millions of tons, it occupies a corner of the Voyager 1 screen, if it is not for the fact that 1 is not sane, otherwise it is possible to be scared to pee.
Its body was covered with hideous barbs, which were the battleship's secondary guns and energy shield activation devices, but now most of them were bent, like a hedgehog burned to ashes, the spikes were broken for most of it, and they kept billowing black smoke outward, as if a forest fire was burning inside, and it was a mess.
And in the snout of the battleship, a thick and long spike-like protrusion, which is its main cannon, if it is under normal circumstances, its blow can penetrate an asteroid, and the power is terrifying.
But, well, it's red now, it's almost in a molten state, and there's no need to think about firing a cannon or something, and preventing it from detonating is the most practical idea.
It was obviously too difficult to forcibly make a space jump for this space battleship, it encountered a chaotic energy flow in the space mezzanine, like a paper ship was rushed out of the flow I don't know how far, and it was easy to peek into a gap before returning to the normal material interface, and the battleship was already half-crippled.
Rao is like this, everyone alive on the battleship still feels extremely lucky, under normal circumstances, the battleship has been completely destroyed without returning to the material interface, and becoming a molecular state is the most common possibility.
The Blue Dwarves still have a lot of technology, and they have been able to make normal space jumps without the need for a rest pod, so as soon as they return to the regular universe, everyone is working hard.
His Royal Highness the Prince's face was also soothed at this time, and he became graceful and generous again, full of noble royal style.
"Hail to His Majesty the Great Emperor, we all survived! Your Excellency, how is the situation with the ship, are we out of danger? ”
As a prince, His Royal Highness has learned the general knowledge of warships, but this is indeed a very, very professional system discipline, and it is definitely not something that can be mastered by just anyone, so he is very self-aware to ask His Excellency the Captain, the actual controller of the battleship, with a very humble attitude and a sense of respect in his words.
As the commander of a capital warship, and able to carry one of the most important figures in that battlefield, it was natural that the bearded captain could not be very simple.
In fact, not only did he actually command a small fleet, but he was also born in one of the important clans of the empire, and was inextricably linked to the upper echelons of the empire, and his position in the entire empire was very important.
"It's bad, we're in a very bad situation right now!"
While learning about the operation of the entire ship through the biological radiant brain implanted in his brain, and issuing a series of correction orders, the bearded captain also had to respond to the prince's inquiry.
Although he was in a terrible mood at this time, the proper etiquette was also indispensable.
As an imperial civilization, etiquette and humility are the same thing, and this is true for everyone.
"The damage rate of the secondary guns has reached seventy-nine percent, the main gun has failed, the battleship's various systems have been seriously damaged, the maintenance system has been opened normally, the maintenance personnel have entered the work, it is expected that after a full day of overhaul, the battleship will be able to resume normal operation and restore its operational capability, however, the combat power will drop by ninety-seven percent, and the defense, well, we have almost no defense at all, the loss of the battleship's body surface is too serious, and a considerable part of it has been forced to isolate."
"Personnel damage? I see, the damage to our personnel is not large, the death rate is less than 30 percent so far, which is already very good, and the rest, almost everyone is injured. ”
His Royal Highness touched his buttocks, which were almost broken into eight petals, and couldn't help but agree with this.
"How's it going out there? Are we still in the known star charts? ”
The bearded captain had rows of information flowing in his eyes, he nodded apologetically to His Royal Highness, and devoted himself to dealing with some urgent matters, and only after a long time did he say with a cloudy face, "Your Highness, the probe has just been sent, according to the preliminary estimate of the detection conclusion, we have now lost contact with the Empire, and what's worse, through all indications, there is still a bug warship behind us!" ”
His Royal Highness the prince couldn't help but tremble, until now, if there are still people who simply think that these dirty and hateful looking guys are brainless bedbugs, then, he is not a civilized person, as a prince, and has personally experienced this battle, he naturally has his own understanding.
"These damn bugs, they can even space jump?"
"According to my analysis, they don't jump actively, they jump passively, following us along the trail of jumps, damn them!"
Speaking of this, the bearded captain was also big for a while, but he immediately comforted the prince and said, "But fortunately, all kinds of signs show that the bug battleship should also have suffered a huge trauma, it should still be licking its wounds hundreds of thousands of kilometers behind our buttocks, we still have time!" ”
"Well, that's not right!"
The bearded captain's face was stunned for a while, he muttered to himself and communicated with the battleship personnel for a while, and his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, and His Royal Highness the prince was also inexplicable.
"Your Highness, it seems that we have gone lucky this time!"
The bearded captain grinned wildly and said to the prince, "Because the personnel were busy with various affairs before, they did not analyze and study the data of the surrounding galaxy in time, but our staff stumbled upon an abnormal signal, and then captured a simple metal structure, and mined the biological information of a large number of intelligent creatures, and then we found a living planet in this star system!" ”
Voyager 1 has been captured!
It has a disk record inside, on which 55 human languages, including Chinese, are recorded to bring greetings to "aliens" and various sounds and pictures from the natural world of the earth, which is clearly a child taking out his bulging wallet to tempt an uncle, "Come, show you how much money I have, come and rob me!" ”
And just as the battleship of the Lanai people was hurrying to repair and preparing to rush to the living planet, a behemoth with a seeping appearance also entrenched itself on a meteorite layer and munched on it.
It was a centipede-like behemoth with hundreds of legs, and its body was covered with large and small round holes, and Zerg soldiers of different sizes came and went from time to time, replenishing the ship with all kinds of energy and materials needed to repair damage through their digestive system.
The two large, elongated tentacles on the head of the giant beast were covered with countless fluffs, and it used this organ to capture some information in this galaxy meticulously, almost at the same time that the Lanai people discovered the earth as a living planet, it also discovered the signs of a living planet.
Billions of miles away, there is a vibrant planet that is slowly rotating, exuding an incomparably attractive fragrance!
