Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Pursuit
Listening to Bruce's words that suppressed his feelings, Helen's mood was agitated, as the captain's grandfather seemed to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, how much pressure and pain he endured, even her own granddaughter couldn't tell. But in front of everyone, he always showed a strong, confident, resolute and even ruthless side, firmly in control of the Atlantis, so that it could run smoothly. We are for Grandpa, for Grandpa's efforts in the past few decades, for Grandpa's loyalty to mankind, and we must also catch Colnan, the culprit, to eliminate all hidden dangers.
Lin Feng looked at the respectable old man on the screen, and he also felt a feeling in his heart. He understood the meaning of Bruce's words, that is, that he should remember his promise to protect Helen and not let her be harmed, even if he did not hesitate to let Colnan go for this.
Pressing down the thoughts surging in their hearts, the two made a solemn military salute to the screen, then sat down, put on their control helmets, and prepared to start the "Yellow River". It had been more than three minutes since Kolnan's ship left the starship, and the distance between the two sides was nearly a million kilometers, and it was not easy to catch up. Now every second wasted gives them a little more chance to escape.
This kind of control helmet is the crystallization of the development of science and technology and wisdom in the interstellar era for more than 1,000 years, and its advancement is beyond doubt. After wearing it, it will actively establish a communication connection with the human nervous system based on the form of brain waves, people do not have to operate it themselves, just give instructions to each action of the ship in the brain, it will automatically analyze whether the action is reasonable, whether it will cause danger to the ship, if feasible, it will transmit the instructions to the automatic control system, which will complete the operation, and the whole process can be completed in an instant, and the connection time in the middle can be almost completely ignored. Just like now, after the ship left the Wanhu, Lin Feng gave a command in his brain: open the energy shield and strengthen it to 120%! This directive, which was to protect the ship, was carried out promptly. Almost as soon as Lin Feng's thought flashed, a thick energy shield was activated, enveloping the lifeship inside. Lin Feng took a look, this thing is so advanced, then I have to make good use of it. So he thought in his head: accelerate to the limit! Suddenly, a huge pressure came to him, and the strong feeling of pushing his back made him almost out of breath. After a long while, Helen, who was relieved next to her, complained: "Lin Feng, what are you doing?" If you want to speed up, you have to let me know. I didn't even prepare, and I almost suffocated at once! Lin Feng didn't expect the effect to be so good, and apologized to Helen with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry, I didn't expect this thing to be so responsive, I just had such a thought in my brain, and the ship rushed out all of a sudden." I'll be sure to let you know next time. ”
After the Yellow River entered a stable state, Lin Feng immediately connected to the communication with the Atlantis and received the route map of the other party transmitted from there. After a little analysis, Lin Feng knew that if he was at this speed, he might not be able to catch up with others for the rest of his life. Gotta accelerate! "Acceleration to 7,000 km/s!" Lin Feng gave instructions in his brain. Who knows, the control helmet immediately returned a message: this command is extremely dangerous! The automatic control system refuses to execute! This command is extremely dangerous! The automatic control system refuses to execute! ……
"Wow, what the hell is this? I also know how to protect myself! Lin Feng took off the control helmet and threw it on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Helen looked at Lin Feng strangely, what kind of nerves did this guy have at this critical time?
"I let it accelerate to 7,000 kilometers per second, but it told me that the automatic control system refused to execute, what do you call it?"
"What's so strange about that. Any automatic control system will artificially impose restrictions, otherwise you can accelerate to a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second at once, and the ship can stand it? It would have been a long time ago, and ...... "Helen smiled and made an explosive gesture.
"I understand this truth, but if we continue to chase it like this, we will only have to eat farts behind others all the time!" Lin Feng said indignantly.
"How do you speak? To eat you eat. It's disgusting! I can't imagine that you, Lin Feng, Lin Datian, still have such a vulgar time. Helen had never heard such indecent words, and scolded Lin Feng with red cheeks.
However, thinking about it, Lin Feng's words also make sense. If the speed of both sides is the same, then what is the chase?
"Whatever it is, what a broken device! Stay on the side of Lao Tzu! After thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to remove the intelligent control state and change to full manual control. I don't believe it, without Zhang Butcher, I, Lin Feng, will eat hairy pigs! He muttered in his mouth, but the movements of his hands were not slow, three times and five divided by two, and soon completed the conversion from intelligent control to manual operation.
"Helen, get ready! I'm going to speed up! When Helen heard this, she quickly took a deep breath and grabbed the armrest of the driver's seat tightly with both hands.
Lin Feng quickly pulled open the virtual control screen on the console, and quickly swiped on it with both hands. As his finger pressed the "Execute" button, the Yellow River Escape Ship suddenly let out a violent tremble, and its speed instantly increased to a terrifying 8,000 kilometers per second!
"You...... You're crazy, Lin Feng, ...... like this Such a speed...... The engine will ...... It's going to explode! Helen was startled, and her flushed face turned pale from the surge of pressure.
In fact, just as Helen said, the warning lights inside the ship kept flashing, and a female voice sounded repeatedly: "Warning! Warn! If the engine is overheating, slow down immediately! If the engine is overheating, slow down immediately! ”
Lin Feng didn't seem to hear it, his eyes were staring at the engine data on the control screen, and he couldn't stop praying in his heart: "Hold on!" Be sure to hold on! As the temperature of the engine rose sharply, he was also extremely nervous, as soon as he reached the temperature warning line, he had to stop the adventure, no matter what, the life of that bastard of Cornan could not catch up with the preciousness of Helen and himself.
Fortunately, the engine technology of this escape ship is indeed excellent, and although it has reached the limit of what it can bear, it finally survived without any dangerous failures. However, it is estimated that after this flight, it will inevitably become a pile of garbage and will have to be rebuilt.
"It scared the hell out of me. Lin Feng, you're a madman! Out-and-out madman! Helen hadn't come out of her nerves yet, and muttered a curse.
"I told myself, I'm not going to let that bastard get away with it! It's a bit of a risk. Thinking about those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, I panicked. Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said.
"You can't gamble with your life!"
"Hehe, don't worry, I know it. This speed may be the limit. It is important to know that the designer of any fighter or ship sets a limit, which is usually unknown. Otherwise, everyone would have hit this limit, and it would have become a pile of rags long ago. Lin Feng, who was relaxed, said lightly.
"Then how do you know that its limit is 8,000 kilometers per second?" Helen asked curiously.
"You want to know?"
"Hmm." Helen nodded.
"I really want to know?"
"Speak quickly!" Helen got impatient.
"I'm ...... Guess! ”
"Guess...... Target?! You ......" Helen was stunned for a long time, and only after a long time did she subconsciously continue: "You are really a madman!" ”
At this time, Cornan was already lying on the sofa of the Amazon escape ship with peace of mind, closing his eyes and recuperating. Now, he is far away from the starship, and he is far away from danger. Next, it's time to play the game of cat and mouse with Chen Xinghan and Bruce.
Just as he was immersed in the wonderful illusion he had weaved, an exclamation came from his ear: "This ...... That's impossible! When pigs fly! ”
Koernan woke up from his illusion and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”
The lieutenant commander who was in the control room replied in a panic: "There is an escape ship chasing after you!" The distance between the two sides is currently 500,000 kilometers! ”
"What! How is this possible? Cornan was also taken aback, hurriedly stood up, and hurried to the control room. He had already entered space 20 minutes ago, and had been sailing at full speed, even if Chen Xinghan reacted and sent forces to pursue, it would take at least 3 minutes, and the time difference of 3 minutes was enough to extend the distance to 900,000 kilometers. Can now?
"What's the speed of the other party?" Colnan looked at the lieutenant colonel.
"According to calculations, it should be around 8,000 kilometers per second!"
"You're sure you're not wrong!" Colnan's eyes widened as he stared at the lieutenant colonel, apparently unable to believe it.
"No mistakes! Now the distance between the two sides has narrowed to 480,000 kilometers! ”
Colnan looked at the approaching point of light on the screen in a daze, and then came to his senses, "Then why are you still staying?" Hurry up! ”
The lieutenant colonel was stunned, "But now it's the fastest speed!" ”
"What's your fastest speed?"
"5,000 kilometers per second!"
"But how can people reach that speed? I order you to accelerate to 8000 km too! Colnan's eyes turned red and he yelled frantically.
"However, neither the ships nor the people can bear it!" The lieutenant colonel hurriedly pleaded.
"So how can they bear it? Are you going to betray me too? Intend to hand me over to them? Colnan looked at the lieutenant colonel suspiciously, his hand reaching his waist.
The lieutenant colonel gritted his teeth and quickly gave the order. But at the moment when the speed increased, all the people felt a whirlwind of the world, and a strong feeling of nausea followed, and even a trace of blood oozed from the corners of some people's mouths.
"Minus...... Decelerate! Fast...... Slow down! I'm going to ...... All will be ...... Flattened......" Colnan said in fits and starts, with all his might.
The lieutenant colonel hurriedly and with difficulty moved to the control screen. At that moment just now, he was thrown up by a huge force, not to mention his body injury, and he didn't even know where to control the helmet.
It was not easy to reduce the speed to the range that everyone could bear, and everyone sighed, and the secret road was so dangerous that it almost became a compressed cookie in space.
And while rejoicing, there is one thing that they can't understand: how did the other party do it?
