Not long after, a starry sky map appeared in front of Yang Yi, with a jump route marked with the end point, but the end point was constantly changing, and the route was also changing.

What's going on?

"Major, the route has been locked."

Yang Yi frowned, he had never seen such a jump route.

"This is the latest data, the course is adjusted at a frequency of 10 times per second, and the law of change is determined by a three-dimensional function. To put it simply, unless this function is mastered, even the most advanced optical brain cannot accurately grasp the change law of the jump route, and it will not be able to determine the exact position of the space node. This is supposed to be the latest security technology in the Third Theater of Operations, which has never been used before. ”

"Are you sure?" Shen Chengwen couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely certain."

Shen Chengwen blinked his eyes and looked at Yang Yi, he was obviously not very relieved.

"Ready." Yang Yi didn't say much, let alone express his worries.

In fact, it was the first time Yang Yi had heard of this technology, although he was also not at ease, but Yang Yi also thought that the theater command's use of this method meant that the threat to the home galaxy was even more serious than they knew before, and they were afraid that they had been attacked by the enemy. Otherwise, there is no need to do anything else.

So, is it safe to return to your home system now?

"Aaron?"

"Major, the jump program has been set up, ready to ......"

"Are there any anomalous findings?"

"Not for the time being, there is no abnormal behavior of the garrison on the transit star, there are no abnormal spatial fluctuations, and there are no obvious original energy fluctuations nearby."

"Obviously?"

"There are abnormal fluctuations in the original energy, but they are very weak, and they are preliminarily judged to be natural phenomena."

"Search again. Displays all detected anomalous fluctuations. Also, make a space jump after I give the order. ”

"Understood."

"Is this necessary?" At this time, Shen Chengwen asked Yang Yi.

Otis also walked over, looking at Yang Yi with the same incomprehension.

We have arrived at the door of our home galaxy and have not found any anomalies, is it necessary to be so cautious? Besides. The theater command provides dynamic navigation data, with a frequency of change of up to 10 times per second, and even if an enemy ship tracks it, it may not be able to follow the "Xinghai" into the home galaxy.

Yang Yi didn't explain much, and now is not the time to explain.

Soon, the sky map changed, and some not-so-bright spots of light appeared, which were the faint fluctuations of the original energy that were detected.

There is really no pattern, just like a natural phenomenon.

To know. Primordial energy is dark energy, which is ubiquitous in the universe and can be affected by other factors, such as gathering together or scattering when space is distorted, and fluctuations will occur when these changes occur, which is often referred to as cosmic background interference.

After staring at it for a while, Yang Yi's brows locked together.

Otis was getting a little impatient. I just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Chengwen.

"Aaron. Enlarge the area. ”

"Major, this is the direction of the central region of the South Alpha Galaxy, and the spatial distortion is the most severe, so the background interference generated is the most obvious."

"It is most likely to be the hiding place of the enemy ship."

Aaron didn't say anything more, and magnified the area pointed out by Yang Yi tenfold.

After looking carefully for a while, Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully.

"Anything unusual?" Shen Chengwen asked in a low voice. Follow Yang Yi for so long. Although he couldn't figure out why, Shen Chengwen knew that Yang Yi's intuition was very keen, and he never missed it. If Yang Yi feels that there is something abnormal, then there must be something abnormal here.

"Not sure yet." Yang Yi glanced at Shen Chengwen. He stepped forward and marked several obvious sources of fluctuations on the sky map. "Aaron, get ready for Photon Ray. The speed is set to the lowest setting, the stealth sailing mode is set, the sprint distance is set to 100,000 kilometers, and the wide-area detonation is set. ”

"Major?"

"Execute the order."

Aaron didn't say much and began to set up Photon Mine.

"What do you want to do?" Otis finally couldn't help it.

Photon Thunder is not a weapon unique to the Weaver Clan, nor is it powerful, it is equipped and used by various civilizations in the Galactic Alliance. What's more, the main value of photon mines is not to attack enemy ships, but to explore unknown areas, similar to flares. Of course, if the target is an unprotected civilian spacecraft, photon mines are valuable and can have the effect of area strikes.

"It's better to be on the safe side."

"It's going to expose us."

"It's nothing to be exposed now, if my worries are unnecessary, I'll immediately make a space jump and return to my home system before the enemy on the relay star is dispatched." Yang Yi glanced at Otis and said, "If not, I'm afraid I'll have to find another shortcut." ”

Otis gritted her teeth and said nothing more.

"Major, Photon Ray is ready."

"Let's launch, show the real-time situation in this area."

"Understood."

Photon Mines are small self-propelled weapons similar to missiles, and although they can be projected to increase their initial velocity, they generally fly away from the mothership on their own, so the impact on the mothership is minimal. Not to mention that the "Star Sea" is a Shadow Ship, even if it is an ordinary small warship, it may not vibrate when it launches a photon mine. Of course, the personnel in the battleship could barely feel the jitter when the photon mine was fired.

Of course, the speed of the photon mine can be preset.

Although theoretically, when launched in a projection mode, the photon mine can fly at a speed close to the speed of light, and even if it is self-propelled, it can accelerate to a tenth of the speed of light in a very short time, but for a warship that is not slow, the speed of the photon mine is not fast at all, so most of the time it will set a slower initial speed and accelerate the sprint when it is close to the target.

That's right, after the launch of the photon mine, you need to wait for a while.

Of course, for Yang Yi and them, in order to ensure safety, waiting for a while is not a big problem.

As the minutes ticked by, the data on the sky map was constantly changing.

According to Yang Yi's instructions, Alun displayed the real-time information, the most eye-catching was the countdown reading that was quickly zeroing.

"Major?"

"Get ready."

"Understood."

With ten seconds left in the countdown, Aaron activated the space jumping device. In fact, it only takes five seconds for the Shadow to complete the space jump.

Ten seconds had passed, and there was a change on the sky map.

With a flash of thorny light, hundreds of bright spots appeared on the sky map.

Not good!

It was at this time that Yang Yi reacted violently.

"Aaron, turn off the space jump system."

"What?"

"Immediate execution, thruster full load output, let's get out of here."

Although Aaron is an intelligent program, the computing speed is much faster than the human brain, but in terms of intelligence, it is still far less than human trouble, and the reaction speed is naturally not fast.

Thankfully, Aaron will take the lead in carrying out orders.

With a violent jolt, the Shadow began to accelerate.

"What's going on!?" Otis exclaimed.

Shen Chengwen originally stared at Yang Yi, but only turned his head after Otis screamed. When he saw the data in front of Otis, he was also stunned.

The Shadow was indeed accelerating, but not at any higher speed.

"We were discovered, and we have long been in the circle of enemy ambushes." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "I anticipated the potential threat, but I ignored a key factor. ”

"What?"

"The speed of light."

Shen Chengwen was slightly stunned, and looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

"We're about 150 light-seconds away from this area, so the signal we received actually happened 150 seconds ago." Yang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "One hundred and fifty seconds is enough for the enemy ship to judge the route of the photon mine, and it is also enough for the advanced warship to make a short-distance space jump." If the enemy had been prepared, he would have arrived before we could react and imprisoned us. ”

"But ......"

"Perhaps, the enemy doesn't know exactly where we are, but it's obviously not difficult to confine an area."

Shen Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and said, "You mean, we are in the confined space?" ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "Otherwise, why hasn't the speed of the 'Xinghai' increased?" ”

Shen Chengwen was silent, and he didn't know what to say.

Yang Yi sighed secretly and didn't say anything more.

In fact, when that flash appeared, Yang Yi reacted and realized that he had ignored the time when the signal of the photon thunder was sent back. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to react. He was not surprised that what happened next was all he expected.

"What now?" Otis walked over.

Although she had not completely calmed down, Otis kept her emotions in check. As the strongest existence here, she has enough self-confidence.

"Get ready for battle." Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and said, "We are still alive, which shows that the enemy wants to catch him alive, maybe he can come by surprise." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The enemy knows we're here, and even knows that our destination is our home system, but they don't necessarily know who we really are, and maybe they don't value us." Yang Yi glanced at Otis and said, "Wait, you have to control it, don't act rashly." If we can kill the enemy by surprise, we have a better chance of escaping this confined space, and now is not the time to do it. ”

Otis nodded, indicating that she understood what Yang Yi meant.

Yang Yi didn't say anything more, just nodded at Shen Chengwen and asked him to get ready.

Although Otis is the most powerful, he has little experience in actual combat. If something unexpected happens, Shen Chengwen is more reliable.

It was also at this time that the sky map changed. The "Star Sea" became translucent around it, which was a powerful energy barrier.

Before Yang Yi came back to his senses, a figure suddenly appeared, startling Yang Yi and the others. But not the enemy, but Aaron, who projected himself. (To be continued.) )
