There are four wormholes around La Prado, named D-1, D-2, D-3, and D-4. www.biquge.info D1D2D3 is a very important commercial route, and almost 80% of the routes in the entire Federation pass through it. And only the D4 route to Luojia Star became an abandoned place after the invasion of the Star Sea a hundred years ago.

The Ark Royal only thought about it for a moment, and then calculated the result.

"At the current speed, it will take another hour to fly straight."

Li Ji frowned slightly, and asked with a headache: "Are we still on the normal route now?" ”

"Two hours ago it had deviated from its normal course, and, in ten minutes, the battleship would enter the deep sea zone."

The deep-sea area can also be called no man's land. It refers to the area of the universe where the warship cannot receive all messages from the interstellar network and communication after entering the area. After all, the universe is so vast, even if human beings have stepped into the universe for thousands of years, their understanding of the universe is still only the tip of the iceberg. The Internet and communication are even more so, not to mention the entire universe, even a galaxy, which cannot be covered by human beings. What can be done at present is to build a directional transmission base station on the main route.

Li Ji propped his chin and sighed: "I can only hope that after entering the deep sea area, those civilian ships and merchant ships will be able to retreat in the face of difficulties." "Li Ji can't take a tough stance against these fleets chasing after his ass, and if he attacks, he will undoubtedly be court-martialed. That's where the biggest headache comes in.

"I hope so." The Ark Royal and Saratoga were likewise out of the question.

Ten minutes later, the Ark Royal entered the depths of the ocean, and almost at the same time, the ship's electronics were paralyzed, and the unknown error and rustling sound were so noisy that the Ark Royal shut down. Now the only thing that can be relied on is the light radar installed on the bridge. The maximum detection range of 200 light allows them to predict and avoid many possible dangers in advance.

After another five minutes of driving, the Royal Ark glanced at the image of the radar, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he said happily: "Star Governor, those merchant ships are not chasing. ”

"Really? That's great news! Li Ji's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Then he asked in a somewhat incredulous tone, "Did they really give up?" It's that simple? He was a little disbelieving, leaned over and looked at the picture on the light energy radar, and sure enough, dozens of blue light spots representing merchant ships had stopped moving, and reflexively approached the edge of the radar.

Saratoga explained very understandingly: "Of course, merchant ships and civilian ships are different from space warships, their firepower is too low, once they enter the deep sea area, they are likely to be attacked by space pirates, which is very dangerous for them." ”

Li Ji thought for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Saratoga's statement. He clapped his hands and was very happy: "In that case, let's try to stay in the deep sea area, avoid the main shipping lanes, and take a slight detour to the D-4 wormhole site." ”

"Yes." The Royal Ark replied earnestly.

Li Ji was in a good mood, looked left and right, saw Xingling, and beckoned to her. As soon as the little girl saw Li Ji's summoning, she immediately ran over, looking up at her delicate melon seed face, blinking her big round eyes, as if asking: What's wrong? Li Ji held the little girl in both hands, put her between her legs, and sat facing out. The fingers teased the little girl's fleshy face, causing Starbell to giggle.

Saratoga looked at the two of them who were having fun, and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, whose family is this child?" She doesn't seem to be able to speak yet? "Xingling looks to be about ten years old, and a girl of this age can already speak well. But Saratoga observes that Starbell clearly doesn't fall into this category.

"Well, not really. I still came up with the name Star Bell. Li Ji squinted his eyes and said a little proudly.

"Star Governor, your name? Hey? Huh! Xingdu, are you married? For some reason, when the Royal Ark screamed, there was also a bit of frustration on its face.

Li Ji laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Of course not." He held Starbell's cheeks with both hands and rubbed them gently, and Starbell whined like a kitten, "Didn't you all notice?" In fact, this kid is just like you, and he is a ship. ”

After the expected silence, the two of them exclaimed in unison.

"Shiphime? This kid is also a ship? ”

"Really? Why can't I see a shadow of a shipper in her? Is she really a ship? The two leaned forward and observed the appearance of Xingling at close range, but after looking at it for a long time, they still couldn't feel the familiarity of the same ship. On the contrary, the movements of the two frightened Xingling into Li Ji's arms, grabbing his clothes with both hands, like a wounded little beast constantly issuing threatening warnings in its mouth in the face of danger.

The two looked at each other and straightened up.

"Is this child the offspring of the ship's concubine and humans?"

"This ...... Impossible, right? Humans and Shiphime have given birth for nearly a thousand years, and other children are normal, so there's no reason why Shiphime has only shown her ability until now? ”

"The so-called intergenerational inheritance? Or atavism? ”

“…… Belch. ”

The two secretly discussed for a long time behind Li Ji's back, but there was still no conclusion. If what Li Ji said is true, then the origin of Xingling is very worth exploring.

"That, Star Governor, I ask you......"

"Huh? What's up? ”

After a series of questions between the two of them, they finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter. Then the two turned their backs again, their heads together and muttered, making Li Ji confused.

"Ark, what do you think?"

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, Gaga, what do you think?"

"Hmm. I don't know. ”

……

The Ark Royal made a detour from the deep sea and finally reached the edge of the D-4 wormhole after two hours. Looking at the wormhole hollow supported by two half-moon-shaped pillars 100 kilometers away, Li Ji summed up the dangers of this journey with a long sigh.

The Ark Royal adjusted the output of the main engine to maintain the speed at around 12D. When the Royal Ark approached the wormhole for ten kilometers, countless points of light immediately flew out of the half-moon-shaped pillar, and it took them only a second to quickly combine into a huge ring, and the fluorescent blue energy filled the space in the ring, when the Royal Ark passed through the ring, the scanning and inspection were also completed at the same time, and then these points of light quickly dissipated, turning into fireflies and flying into the half-moon-shaped column.

It was not the first time that the three of them had experienced this incident did not say much, only Xingling, who was sitting in Li Ji's arms, was very uneasy, and it was not until those points of light left and the Royal Ark also passed through the entrance and entered the wormhole passage that her emotions gradually settled down.
