As Lin Feng's order was issued, the entire fleet immediately entered a tense state.

"Report, Starship Auxiliary Engine Activated, Attitude Adjustment Complete!"

"Report, Starship Energy Shield Activated, Power 100%!"

"Report, the starship monitoring department has been prepared!"

"Report, the starship communications department is ready, and it can contact the Aden exploration ship at any time!"

"Report, the starship damage management department is on standby and can be dispatched at any time!"

"Report, the starship main engine is ready to start!"

Report ,......

A report came quickly, and with the completion of all the preparations, the two starships were like arrows on a full bow, ready to break out of the string at any time and gallop towards the hope in people's hearts!

"The power of the energy shield of the two starships has been increased to 120%!" After all, this is an unknown star field, and no one knows how many dangerous factors there are in the future. For the sake of safety, Lin Feng directly raised the power of the shield to the maximum.

"The bow cannons of the two ships are activated and charged! Always ready to destroy all obstacles in your path! ”

"All carrier-based escape ships and landing ships are on high alert and ready to respond to emergencies!"

Lin Feng gave orders in an orderly manner, and all the orders were for one goal: to ensure that the fleet reached the airspace where Aden was safely.

When all the preparations were ready, Lin Feng ordered without hesitation:

"Starship main engine starts, slowly increasing power to 50%! Let's go! ”

As the power of the engine continued to increase, the huge hull let out a violent tremor and shot out. Immediately afterward, as if pulled by an invisible force, the ship's course was slightly deflected, and it was known that the fleet had entered the gravitational range of the stars. This is an extremely dangerous stage, the gravitational field of galaxies formed by many celestial bodies is very complex, and it must be carefully controlled, if it accidentally enters the gravitational range of a huge celestial body, it will be difficult for the starship to escape even if the engine power is increased to the limit; And meteorites, interstellar dust, and even invisible ion storms in this airspace can cause fatal damage to starships!

Knowing this, all the people on the starship were highly nervous. Although I have experienced more than one such drill during the long journey, the drill and the actual combat cannot be compared after all.

"The No. 2, 2, and 4 auxiliary engines on the starboard side have been increased to 80%, and the flight attitude of the starship has been adjusted!" Without the slightest delay, Lin Feng quickly ordered.

Soon, both starships made unmistakable attitude adjustments and perfectly entered the course to Aden.

There was a long sigh of relief in everyone's hearts, and the most difficult level had finally passed.

But just when people thought that everything would go smoothly, the person in charge of the monitoring department suddenly let out an exclamation: "A huge meteorite with a diameter of about 800 meters has been found ahead, fifteen light seconds away!" ”

Lin Feng's heart suddenly tightened, he didn't expect the danger to come so quickly!

"Immediately determine whether the direction and speed of the meteorite are on the course of the starship!"

"Yes!"

The monitoring department was suddenly like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and everyone was going crazy, desperately working on instruments, measuring, calculating, reviewing, and drawing conclusions. Twenty seconds later, Lin Feng had obtained an accurate situation report: "Running direction: opposite to the starship's course, speed: 550 kilometers per second, the meteorite will leave the starship's course in twenty minutes!" ”

Twenty minutes! With the current speed of 7,500 kilometers per second of the starship, plus the speed of the meteorite moving in opposite directions, the two sides will make contact in 8 minutes and 23 seconds! With the current protective capability of the starship's energy shield, the consequences of being hit by such a huge meteorite at high speed will be unimaginable!

With only 500 seconds of reaction time, you can't afford to delay a second!

"Captain Helen, contact the Atlantis now! Ask for help at any time! ”

"Yes!" Helen also knew that the situation was urgent, so she hurried to carry out Lin Feng's order!

"Let's talk about it, what should I do?" Lin Feng looked at the people in the headquarters.

"Can you slow down right now?" A staff officer made a suggestion.

"Starship slows down not so easily, and it takes far more than twenty minutes." Lin Feng thought carefully and immediately vetoed this proposal.

"Can you get around it?" Another staff officer put forward his own idea.

Li Zhi said on the side: "It is very difficult for the starship to adjust its attitude during high-speed flight. In order to get around it, its course must be offset, even if it is a very small offset angle, after traveling millions of kilometers, the starship will deviate from the course so far that it is almost impossible to adjust it at that time. Moreover, the gravitational situation here is so complicated......"

Li Zhi's words were not finished, but everyone had already understood what he meant, and they would definitely not be able to dodge, so they could only find a way to destroy it!

"In that case, there's only one way. Command: Transmit all the data of the meteorite to the automatic control system of the shaped cannon in the bow, which calculates the firing time, distance, and debris distribution and impact force on the starship! ”

"In the meantime, order the Atlantis to give its full assistance!"

"Yes!"

"Order the damage management department, the life-saving department, all of them to enter the first-level alert state!"

"Order all the crew to prepare for the collision!"

Time passed rapidly in Lin Feng's commands. Six minutes before contact with the meteorite...... Five minutes...... Four minutes ......

With two minutes and thirty seconds left, the bow of the Wanhu suddenly emitted four dazzling brilliance, but they quickly disappeared, and only four seconds later, the meteorite in front of it suddenly burst open, and the huge energy shockwave actually broke the space killer in an instant. You must know that in order to deal with all kinds of dangers in the long voyage, the concentrated energy cannon in the bow of the Wanhu ship is the most powerful, and the four cannons are fired together, which is the first time in more than 200 years!

"Scan for meteorite fragments now!" Without waiting for the cheers of the people to come out, Lin Feng hurriedly ordered. Now is not the time to celebrate, and if the fragments are larger, the Atlantis will have to make up for it.

Two seconds later, the results of the monitoring department came out. This salvo split the meteorite into millions of pieces, and those small pieces of fragments no longer posed a threat to the starship. But there were still as many as six large fragments on the route, and the largest one was ninety-one meters in diameter! With such a size, it is still enough to cause great damage to the starship.

"Order the Atlantis, make up the shots on the three larger ones, and be sure to smash them! Especially the largest piece, with two cannons! ”

"And what about the remaining three fragments?" Someone questioned Lin Feng's order.

"Is there any other way we can do that?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.

Indeed, the current Wanhu, the shaped cannon in the bow of the ship has been launched, and because it is the most powerful, the charging time required is as long as three minutes! There is simply no time for a second round of salvos! Therefore, Lin Feng only had one way to choose, and that was to smash the large meteorites as much as possible! Then, one can only hope that the energy shield will be able to withstand this dense impact.

After completing a salvo, the Atlantis also completed its mission, blasting the largest fragment into small pieces again. After that, the only thing they could do was to silently pray for the Wanhu on the sidelines.

Now, on the forward course of the Wanhu, in addition to the dense meteorite fragments, there are four or five larger fragments floating, of which the largest one is still eighteen meters in diameter, and the rest have reached ten meters! This means that Wanhu will suffer the most violent impact for the first time since it entered space! Let's put it this way, the current situation is like a large flatbed trailer and a children's go-kart collide head-on at a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second. At the very least, it will be hit hard. And such a trauma would be fatal for a starship in space!
