Therefore, Shen Chao, who had just crossed over with the battleship, was not very sure whether they had brought the battleship to the orbit of Jupiter or the Earth in this plane as they wished.

Anyway, according to his feelings, it should be one of the two. Other planets in the solar system are even more difficult to locate. However, he still needs the help of the navigation team to verify it.

: "Positioning...... We're in Jupiter's orbit, very close to Callisto......," a soldier on duty in a navigation group reported after completing the number of monitors.

"It's quite accurate this time......" Shen Chao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, their current position is very safe, and they have reached the space of the solar system of the Blade Runner plane as they wished, and the error is still very small.

He chose to bring the Budapest to the orbit of Jupiter in the solar system of this dimension instead of near Earth in order to avoid conflict with the government fleet of this plane.

Although according to their previous understanding, the overall level of aerospace technology in this world is still relatively backward, the fleet size is very small, it lacks a strategic fulcrum in space, and the combat capability of warships is extremely weak......

But even then, the other side can be considered to have an "official fleet". Shen Chao: There is no need for them to provoke the power of the official as soon as they come over. Although their recruitment operation this time is essentially against the Earth government of this plane......

: "Navigation group, mark galaxy coordinates, update star map." The turbine began to warm up the Mass Effect core ......" Shen Chao thought of this, and immediately gave two orders: marking the star map and preparing for the FTL jump.

They can now determine their approximate location within the solar system, but they need more information to jump to their target galaxy.

Only by accurately measuring the positions of several nearby star systems and entering them into the ship's computer host could they work out an accurate faster-than-light course.

Routing is no joke and cannot be done without an accurate star map, otherwise a small mistake in the direction or distance of the jump can cause a catastrophe. For example, the one that crashed headlong into the star god horse.

After receiving Shen Chao's order, the navigation group immediately used various optical equipment to scan the starry sky environment outside the battleship with high precision, and then roughly analyzed the spectra of millions of stars at an extremely high speed.

Spectral analysis and star map comparison. Shipboard VI located all nearby star systems within 50 light-years in a very short period of time. And began the detailed analysis of the spectrum, to do the accurate ranging of the galaxy.

The reason why the nearby galaxy within 50 light-years was chosen as the target for exploration is because the farthest distance that humans in this plane have explored is 50 light-years.

Longer distances, even if they took the time and effort to mark them out, they wouldn't need it this time, anyway, several of the major extrasolar colonies in this plane were within 8 light-years of each other.

The galaxy they're going to this time is a little farther away. But the solar system is only 11 light-years away, and it is more than enough to mark a nearby galaxy 50 light-years as a star map for navigation.

After the navigation team imported all the positions of these galaxies into the battleship's main engine, Shen Chao quickly found their target galaxy with Roy's help, the mining star system controlled by the rebels.

"That's right. This is it, my home! Roy said excitedly, pointing to a galaxy on the hologram. He was eager to fly over immediately to rescue his compatriots.

"Alright. Don't be in a hurry, we'll be over soon......" Shen Chao patted Roy on the shoulder and persuaded him not to be so excited.

After all, after they drove over the battleship, whether they could negotiate with the rebels smoothly, whether the negotiations could be effective, and how many replicants they could finally convince to go back with them was still a matter of two questions.

It's a bit too early for Roy to be so excited now, and it's not conducive to negotiations after the past. Shen Chao also counted on Roy to use his influence among replicants to help him recruit as many replicants as possible during negotiations.

After calming Roy for a while. Shen Chao quickly worked with the navigation team to plan a route to the target galaxy, and arranged for the Budapest to depart immediately and make a fixed-point faster-than-light jump.

After a flash of light, the Budapest vanished into the starry sky near Jupiter, flying at a speed of more than 200 times the speed of light toward a target 11 light-years away.

2 weeks later. The Budapest finally completed its voyage, jumping out of faster-than-light space on the outskirts of the target galaxy and appearing in the galaxy called "Roth 128".

Due to the large amount of static electricity accumulated in the hull during the previous voyage, the first task after the jump was to discharge, and only by releasing the sights on the hull could the Budapest be restored to its best state of readiness.

If a large amount of static electricity accumulated in the hull is not released, it will greatly affect the combat capability of the battleship, and the most direct impact will be to interfere with the strength of the hull shield and the ability to sail faster than light.

A warship with a large amount of hull static electricity cannot stabilize the protective limits of its kinetic energy barrier, and under the influence of a large amount of static electricity, the shield value will become high and low, making it unsuitable for combat.

The impact on faster-than-light navigation is even greater, and while the static electricity does not affect the work of the Mass Effect core, the accumulation of too much static electricity on the hull can have catastrophic consequences.

Under normal circumstances, there are only two ways for a Mass Effect warship to release static electricity from its hull, one is to wait for the static electricity to be automatically released in space or into the atmosphere, and the other is to suck out the static electricity from the hull at the corresponding space station after docking.

Both methods have their own limitations, and waiting for the static electricity to release automatically in space in the first place is too inefficient, and it can take them days to slowly release the excess static electricity.

The space station is a cost-effective discharge, as it only takes a few seconds to dock and connect the stable dìng armguards, and then it only takes a few seconds to get the static electricity on the hull. However, this option is clearly not applicable at this time.

After all, there is no space station or discharge equipment to support it. Therefore, Shen Chao could only adopt the third method, a new technology derived from the Proxian warship. They also installed new equipment from the last time they were in the world of Mass Effect. Haven't used it before.

Under Shen Chao's order, the new equipment was turned on, and rows of strange protrusions in the shape of small antennas suddenly rose from the armor surfaces on the wings of the hull.

As the large area of small antennas was raised, a burst of dazzling white light suddenly erupted from outside the hull, a bit like when a nuclear weapon exploded.

As the fleeting white light disappeared, a large circle of ultra-high-voltage purple arcs appeared on the periphery of the hull, shining the white hull one by one.

The voltage of these arcs is extremely high, and each of them is strong enough to blast a human without armor into a puddle of soot.

At this time, these deadly arcs of electricity wrapped around the wings of the ship's hull like countless small snakes, shining with a dangerous light while also releasing a large amount of static electricity.

This discharge process did not last long, and after more than ten seconds, the excess static electricity was discharged, and the arc outside the hull disappeared. It's like nothing happened.

The powerful electrical energy released by the arc just now is stored inside the superconducting inertial batteries inside the wings on both sides of the battleship, which will be used to power the battleship's secondary systems.

"Status Report ......" Shen Chao ordered various departments to report the status after seeing that the discharge was completed, this is a standard procedure, and each time you complete a jump, you need to re-evaluate the ship's various systems.

"The self-inspection of the communication array is normal, the navigation array is normal, and the fire control elements are normal......" After a word of self-inspection, all departments sent reports in good condition.

After receiving these reports, Shen Chao began to arrange the reconnaissance of this galaxy with peace of mind. Investigate the environment of this stellar system and scan for ships within a radius of 2 AUs......

For this work, Shen Chao kept the battleship in its original position for a few minutes, and finally determined the basic structure of this star system and found the location of the planet that replicated people's lives.

It has to be said that this star system looks really barren. Although Roy also told him that the living environment here was difficult, Shen Chao only now understood what he meant.

First of all, the stars of this star system are not in the optimal age, and although they will not become supernovae in the near future, the surface activity of the stars is not as stable as that of the Sun.

Secondly, there are only 4 planets in the entire galaxy, and only one of them has an atmosphere and surface environment that is barely inhabitable, and it is still the exaggerated type of yellow sand, large temperature difference between day and night, and frequent earthquakes.

Not only is the living environment harsh, but the resources here are not abundant. There are only a few rare metal ores in several planets and asteroid belts that are worth mining, and they are not very valuable from a development point of view.

However, it is precisely because of the low development value here that the replicant rebels of this plane can occupy this place, and if it were replaced by several other resource-rich colonial systems, the government fleet would have sailed over to fight them.

"Roy, are we in the right place...... Shen Chao immediately turned around and asked Roy beside him after updating the first version of the detection results on the hologram in front of him.

The reason why they were in such a hurry to ask was because the navigation team had not found any signs of ships or human activity in this galaxy just now, and had not found any type of ship in their detection range at all.

According to the description before Roy brought them, the rebels are very vigilant, this galaxy is their base camp, there should be many patrol ships in all directions, and they should find at least 2 or 3 patrol ships in the scanning range just now.

"Well, we're definitely in the right place. Strange, someone should be patrolling in this direction......" Roy was not sure after seeing the vision on the map.

Seeing the empty results shown on the scan, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart. "Perhaps, something happened......?" (To be continued.) )
